IN BRIEF
Ike 'lets loose'
LOS ANGELES (UPI) Presi
dent Eisenhower let loose Monday
night with the sharpest remarks
he has used against the Demo
crats since his 19f>0 presidential
Campaign.
The President told a giant GOP
rally in Lis Angeles the Repub
licans may be suffering from
"family spats,” but the Demo
crats have “political schizophre
nia.”
Mr. Eisenhower called for Re

U.S. says 'no convoys'
WASHINGTON <Jfi- The State
Department said Monday the
United States has not resumed
convoying Chinese Nationalist
supply ships to Quemoy and will
not revive the escort system un
less compelled to do so by military
necessity.
This assertion by press officer
Lincoln White was in line with a
statement by Secretary of State
Dulles in Alaska.
Dulles said the United States
hopes Communist China's cancel
lation of the Quemoy cease-fire
will be shortlived and the truce
will be reinstated promptly.
Dulles said that it was a tra
gedy that the Chinese Commu
nists have again displayed their
“'warlike disposition."
Dulles rebuffs Soviets

■ will recover the mainland. This is
the conviction of the people on
Taiwan and in Red China that we
will over-throw the Communists,”
Buren said.
Euren said that this was the
reason the islands of Quemoy and
Matsu were so important.
In ancwer to a question from
the audience, Buren said that if
the Communist Chinese take
Matsu and Qnemoy then Formosa
will become the front line of de
fense.
The panel agreed that Commun
ist China's aim was to eventually
drive the United .States clear out
of the Far F.ast, from the Philip
pines to Japan.
Japanese policy
Kuroda presented the Japanese
policy in Southeast Asia. He said
that Japan placed trade first,
then politics in her international
relations.
"Japan is trying to trade with
Red China," Kuroda said, "but
the Communist philosophy is poli
tics first, then trade, so that
Japan's pro-western feelings do
not fall in line with the Red Chi
nese ideology."
Kuroda added that Japan wants
Asian progress through close re
• lations with Southeast Asia, but
that her ultimate interest is ex
panding her economy.
"We (Japan) are trying to reach
a stage where we can all agree to
disagree.”
Negotiation ‘difficult’
Kuroda said that any negotia
tion with Communist China will
be very difficult because of the
fanatic devotion of Communists to

Thumb around world?
Jeff Williams did it
By PAT TREECE
Emerald Staff Writer
‘‘Something inside just said
•go’.’’
So Jeff Williams, junior in
journalism, explained a trip that
took him five months and led
him to hitch-hike the world
through such diverse places as
Ireland and India, Rome and
Hong Kong, the Persian desert
and The Philippines.
During one phase of his trip,
Jeff crossed what is reputedly
the worst desert in the world,
and nearly lost his life, not to
the bandits for which the area
has been known, but to heat ex
haustion.
“We were crammed into a bus:
Persians, Pakistanis, and me,
traveling and I got quite sick in
this little Persian town.”
"There was sympathy but no
aid until an American teacher,
returning from Beirut, heard
about the sick American, came
and got me, and took me to a
military post.” There he was well
taken care of, said Jeff, and
charged only slightly for room
and board, nothing for the medi
cal treatment.
“Really lucky”
“That’s how it was all the way \
I was just really lucky about
everything,” he said earnestly.
To illustrate, he listed crises
and near-crises that he missed or
escaped unscathed from.
“In Ireland, where there is a
great deal of bad feeling be
tween the northerners and south

the various meetings, if only to
tak advantage of the excellent
opportunities to hear such speak
ers as Marquis Childs and Alfred
Neal. But moreover, I think that
we students will realize a much
stronger tie with the University
through an active participation
in this commemoration than we
would in any other student
activity.
