MAIL TRIBUNE
The Strange
We well remember the judgment of most foreign
experts when Yugoslavia broke with Soviet Russia
six or seven years ago. Tito wasn't given six months
to live and his country
to go the way of Poland
But the experts proved
No one seems to know EXACTLY what hap
pened, but Tito not only
intact, but now the Kremlin is going hat-m-hand to
make some sort of a peace with the Communist
leader, who has not only been dealing openly with
Russia's sworn enemies, but has claimed the only
true type of communism is to be found, not in Moscow,
but in Belgrade.
THIS is something for the experts to explain. It is
something for ANYone to explain. Ajax defying
the lightning is nothing compared to this defiance of
the Russian giant, by little Yugoslavia and getting
away with it. Not only getting away with it, but
forcing Moscow to sue for
rather than Tito.
course there ,is an explanation of sorts for this
latest surprising conciliatory move by the Krem-
rwil tii i i ill'! .1
lin. ine latter wants to
its western borders, and
wants a friendly or at
slavia. This trip to Belgrade may be a part of this
change of front.
But that still does not
took Tito's insults and
never did what it undoubtedly could have done at
almost any time overwhelmed Yugoslavia as it did
Finland, by sheer preponderance of power, resources
and numbers.
TNSTEAD Russia tried its wrell known technique of
"a war of nerves." It cut all trade with that country
to a trace, recalled its ambassador, renounced its
20-year pact of friendship and mutual aid, kicked out
the Yugoslav ambassador
put Yugoslavia on the Soviet pariah and condemned
list.
But Tito apparently paid no heed. When the Rus
sian satellites, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland,
also cut off trade relations with Yugoslavia, the head
of this small but stalwart nation, calmly opened up
trade negotiations with the -United States, secured
substantial loans to finance
that while his nation has no
Messrs. Krushchev and Bulganin, he will make no
secret deals behind the curtain with them or anyone
else.
11E have no illusions about Tito. He is not only a
T communist, he will
Russia or anyone else if he finds it to his self-interest
to do so. All foreign nations large and small, are
motivated in the final analysis by self-interest. If they
were not, they would not last very long as nations.
But we do find in this extraordinary situation
cause for a certain amount of cheer and rejoicing.
For if Yugoslavia can defy Soviet Russia and get
away with it we see no good season why EVENT
UALLY countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia
can't do the same provided there is a similar will
and desire. .
Certainly if "face-saving" is so vital in successful
diplomacy and so important in dealings with the na
tions of the Far East, then this "Pilgrimage to Bel
grade" must lower Soviet Russia's prestige and influ
ence in that part of the world materially.
This eating of humble pie by Russia also strength
ens the belief that in spite of all the bluff and bluster,
and the reports of her success in the armaments race,
there may be more truth than fiction in the statement,
that when it comes down to brass tacks, the Kremlin
is no more earger to START a Third World War
than the White House.
THIS is not to say the dangers in communist im
" perialism are not still present, or that eternal vigi
lance does not remain the price of peace as well as
liberty; but it is to say that the prospects of another
world war are far less imminent and alarming than
they were a few months ago, and the change in the
attitude of Soviet Russia particularly regarding Aus
tria as well as Yugoslavia have supplied a welcome
and unexpected support to the hopes for at least some
years of much desired peace.
The Kremlin undoubtedly still wants the world
to be a Communist world, but there seems less and
less likelihood it wants or plans to start a world war
to get it. And if Russia won't start a world war, what
other nation will? R.W.R.

Moscow Scoffs at
United States Claims
Of Atomic Submarine
By CHARLES McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
Moscow seems to have made
up its mind about the United
States' atomic-powered subma
rine Nautilus
there just
isn't any such
thing.
.Prof. Vladi
mir A. Lesh
kovtsev, dis
cussing ac
counts of the
Nautilus and of
American re
search into
atomic propul-
Charles McCann Sion lor planes
and surface ships, was quoted as
saying in a Moscow radio broad
cast: "In spite of the desperate
propaganda hue and cry which
accompanied such reports, not a
single one of their works has yet
been accomplished.
"As has happened more than
once, the Americans are trying
to intimidate the world with
weapons which have not yet been
built."
This somewhat surprising state
ment is interesting for two rea
sons: For one thing, it shows the
astonishing extent to which the
Soviet government is able to
blind its people to developments
in the free world.
For another, it indicates that
Russia's own progress in the
field of atomic power develop
ment is lagging.
Claims Suspicious
Many people always have been
suspicious of Russia's claims in
the nuclear energy field, and
even of reports by Western ex
perts of Russian progress.
It seems certain that Russia
has tested an H-bomb, for in
stance. But there is some doubt
whether the Russian H-bomb has
been perfected as a weapon.
There is even more doubt
about Russian progress in the
field of nuclear power for peace
ful purposes.
Prof. Iseshkovtsev spoke vague
ly, in his broadcast, of Soviet
Matter of Fact
THE POSITION OF
STRENGTH THEORY
Washington There is now a
settled, official, Eisenhower Ad
ministration theory to explain
the apparent
change in the
Soviet policy
line. This
"school s o 1 u
tion" of the
puzzle of So
viet policy
was succinct
ly stated by
the President
himself at his
most recent
press confer
Stewart Alsop
ence, when he was asked about
the Big Four meeting:
"Now, as I say and Secretary
Dulles said, we are annroachine
this thing from a greater posi
tion of strength than we ever
had before."
To put it verv sinmlv. the of
ficial Administration theory is
that the Russians are being nicer
because we are stronger. But
there is a minority of skeptical
officials who privately reject
this official theorv outricht.
They believe, instead, that the
Russians are being nicer because
tney are stronger and because
they want to have time to be
come stronger still.
At the same Dress conferenrp.
the President suggested one rea
son why the official doctrine is
doubted by these skeptics. He
was asked whether he was
"startled" by the Soviet air de
velopments revealed in the re.
cent flights over Moscow befori
and after May Day. He replied:
1 believe this: that from
time to time, in several lines
of endeavor, scientific endeavor,
aircraft, and others, there has
come in evidence that exceeded
predictions of what where thev
would be at any particular mo
ment." In other words, our Intelli
gence was caught by surprise by
the rapid development of Soviet
air power as revealed by the
Moscow overflights. As the Pres
ident also implied, this was by
no means the first time. Our
Intelligence has consistently
underestimated Soviet scienti
fic-military capabilities, most
notably in the case of the Soviet
atomic and thermonuclear
bombs, but in other instances
as well.
It just does not make sense,
the skeptics maintain, to suppose
that the Russians are being ren
dered docile by a "greater posi
tion of strength than we have
ever had before," when Soviet
scientific-military achievements
have been so rapid that they
have repeatedly caugnt our In
telligence flat-footed.
-
TT MAKES more sense, they
maintain, to suppose that pre
cisely the opposite, is true. After
all, we know beyond question
that the Soviets achieved their
first atomic bomb, their first
thermonuclear bomb, and their
40
projects for atomic submarines,
locomotives, ships and airplanes.
The submarines, he said,
would carry hundreds of passen
gers and thousands of tons of
cargo over long distances. For
example, he said, they could
cruise under the polar ice cap.
But Americans know that
their Navy already has an atom
powered submarine in the Nau
tilus. They know that a second atom
powered submarine, three times
as powerful as the Nautilus, is
to be launched in July.
They know, most of them, that
in Washington, a publicity-shy
Air Force man, Brig. Gen. Don
ald J. Keirn, heads an "Office
for Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion"
which is making progress toward
the development of atomic-powered
planes.
They know that President Ei
senhower announced on April
25 that this country is develop
ing an atomic-powered merchant
ship. They read in Monday's
newspapers that it is possible
that an atom-powered ocean
liner may be built before long.
Russia talks big about the
peaceful utilization of atomic
energy. A lot of the talk is
bunk. Back in 1949 the late
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, the Soviet
foreign minister, startled his
United Nations hearers when he
said in a speech that with nu
clear energy Russians are "raz
ing mountains; we are irrigating
deserts; we are cutting through
the jungle and the tundra."
It developed later that what
Vishinsky meant was that Russia
hoped to do all this sometime in
the future.

siocKpmng ana about even in

But we had no head start at
all in one key field missiles,
on which the Soviets have been
working feverishly since the
war. Be intercontinental ballis
tic missile, against which there
is no known defense at all, is
the big prize in the race for air
atomic supremacy.
"Suppose," one of the dis
senters from the nosition-of-
strength theory has said, "that
the Russians knew for certain
they would have enough IBMs
to knock out our strategic air
lorce, say by 1958. Wouldn't
they want to be very sure that
no war broke out before 1958?"
. This may be too simple and
too sinister an explanation of the
sudden seeming softness of the
Soviets. But at least it rjrovides
a useful corrective to the happy
notion that the United States
and its allies have somehow sud
denly achieved a position of un-
cnauengeaoie strength. A very
good case could be made for the
thesis that we were better off in
1949, the year when Louis John
son was hackine awav at our
defenses, and Europe was totally
undefended, than we are now.
Since 1949 Communist China
has emerged as a great imperial
ist power and the Western posi
tion in Asia has been perhaps
fatallv weakened. Eurooe still
cannot be held against a really
determined Communists assault,
and effective German rearma
ment, which would render Eu
rope defensible, is still several
years away. But, above all, the
air-atomic equation has turned
against us.
WE HAD only a few hundred
" medium powered atomic
bombs in 1949, but they were
enough to destroy all major So
viet targets. This continent was
invulnerable to Soviet attack.
Now, according to the Adminis
tration's own official estimates,
the Soviets have an air defense
well ahead of ours, a strategic
air force rapidly catching up
with ours, and a nuclear stock
pile sufficient to Soviet strategic
needs.
It is true that the signing of
the Paris accords has given the
Western Allies a new and very
useful diplomatic bargaining
counter: It is true that the West
ern Allies are reasonably united
and economicaUy healthy. But
if you think in hard terms of
existing power, it is difficult to
go along with the Administra
tion theory that our "position of
strength" is forcing the Russians
to seek a settlement. For
strength, after all, is a relative
thing, as those heavy jet bomb
ers in the skies over Moscow
should serve to remind us.

Praise for "Community"
To the Editor: After being a
patient in Community Hospital,
I would like to take this oppor
tunity to express my apprecia
tion for the wonderful treatment
I received and to let the public
know of the services rendered
there.
When I entered the hospital,
I had to wait until a patient was
dismissed before there was a
room for me, yet during the 7
days I was there, I was treated as
if I was the only patient in the
building, 24 hours a day. I never
had to ring for a nurse there
was always one looking in to
see if I wanted anything.
The night before surgery, the
hospital anesthetist visited me
and discussed the anesthetic to
be used. Because of her visit, I
entered the surgery with peace
cf mind, which I did not have
the previous times I have had
surgery..
My stay in Community hos
pital was a pleasant surprise to
me. I had never experienced
such treatment before. I feel the
public would "never realize the
wonderful service they render,
unless patients like me take the
time to inform them.

Editorial Comment
FORKS OF SALMON VISIT
Medford was the "large city"
which was host Thursday to eight
school youngsters and two
adults from Forks of Salmon, a
lumber community, in nearby
Siskiyou county, California. The
day, which began at four in the
morning, California time, when
they piled into conveyances for
the trip to Medford, was a thrill
ing one, clear to 5:30 p.m. PST,
when they started homeward to
the hills. They entered a new
world whose sights for most of
them were quite unfamiliar.
At Lithia park, Ashland, they
had their first sight of a mon
key. En route to Medford they
saw a moving train, and one
pupil exclaimed "What are those
buildings moving along?" Drink
ing milkshakes was a new ex
perience. In Medford they had their first
ride in an elevator, and saw a
radio station, a television sta
tion, a newspaper press for the
first time. A Southwest Airlines
plane was at the airport and they
were permitted to go all through
it, a really exciting adventure.
The Medford fire chief demon
strated the department's pump
er and ladder truck and the
police chief showed them
through the city jail. The vacu
um sweeper they saw at the hotel
was something novel. Visiting
the laundry the youngsters were
surprised to learn that Medford
people do not all do their own
washing as do the folk of Forks
of Salmon. .
The children were "complete
ly tired out," according to the
Mail-Tribune, when time came
to board the bus for home. No
surprise at that for they had
packed decades of so-called prog
ress into one day. For the ma
jority of us these things are com
monplace even though relatively
few actually see a newspaper
press or the inside of a plane
or a TV station. These young
sters from Forks of Salmon live
in a different world in many re
spects, but they have things
which many city youngsters have
never seen. They have a clear
mountain stream at home, and
must have had salmon, judging
by the local name, and may have
yet. There the children learn an
other vocabulary, names of the
jobs of woodsmen and mill work
ers, the lore of the great out
doors. Yellow taxicabs do not
bring color to their streets, but
the roadsides ; are bright with
poppies. Perhaps the mountain
lilac graces the hillsides. Doe
and fawn may come at dusk to
the edge of the clearing, so often
as to get pet names from the
children who see them. Woods
animals may be their familiars.
No smog from a chemical plant
screens out the sunshine. The
air is heavy with the resinous
smell of sawn lumber. Dominat
ing the scene in Siskiyou county
in queenly Mt. Shasta, clad in
snowy ermine much of the year,
often with a veil of cloud about
her shoulders a perpetual in
spiration to youth and to age.
The school children of Forks
of the Salmon really had some
thing to go back to when they
left the "large city" of Medford
with its strange sights , and
friendly people. Charles A.
Sprague in his column in the
Salem (Oregon) Statesman.
DEAN SABINE
The resignation of Gordon A.
Sabine as dean of the University
of Oregon school of journalism is
a distinct loss to journalism in'
this state. While he won his

badly needed journalism build

educator. He is one of his pro

The school over which he pre
sided for five years was no trade

To Michigan State University,
a place with a bigger budget and
more "opportunity" for an am

State is in for a real experience.
A young man (only 33 when he
became the youngest journalism
dean in the nation in 1950), he
scattered more ideas in his wake
than half a dozen older men of
more established reputation.
In addition to his academic
pedigree, which is all that It
should be for a position In the
academic world, he has made a
hobby of giving the lie to the
cliche about "Those who can.
do; those who can't, teach." Gor
don Sabine can, and often does.
We shall miss him personally as

feel that the passage of years will
add to his stature as a distin-
guished figure who walked all
too briefly among newspapermen
