The subject of U.S, missile bases in Europe cuas one of the hottest issues facing the NATO summit conference which be gins here Monday. The Soviet Union already was fighting the idea by again threatening to turn Europe into a graveyard in event of war. A year-long Soviet campaign to frightenCAhe West European jiations was building up to a cli vjnax with letters from Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin to President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, Gail lard and Chancellor Konrad Ad enauer warning of terrible So viet retaliation. Britain already has decided to permit 1,500-mile range U.S. missiles to be based there. Relia ble French sources said France would too provided it has a say so on when and when not to fire them. The sources said France felt the Allied military command should give the order to fire rather than President Eisen hower. Three leading French news papers, all of which frequently reflect government thinking, ; prominently displayed the mis sile reports. They "were Le Monde, Combat and Paris-Journal. Le Monde said France wanted "supra-national" trigger i pulling. Combat and Paris-Journal called for a NATO "mixed command." With the exception of Britain and Turkey which welcomed new weapons the rest of Europe was caught between two fears. One was of Soviet reprisals di rected agains any U.S. missile rected against any U.S. missile French reports indicated the was that the United States might American and .French views not act in time to prevent Europe were still far apart. The United being "atomized."

Congress might refuse to declare war in an emergency, and that the NATO command rather than Eisenhower should have the power to decide the issue of nu clear weapons. in the Day's News ly PIANK JENKINS Washington officials report that the United States has halt ed MILITARY aid to communist Yugoslavia. It appears from the report that we will 30 or. show ering clown with economic aid. The idea seems to be that we have butter to throw at the birds, but we re balking at giv ing Tito any more guns. At long last, we seem to be coming around to the conclu sion that if a showdown comes Tito will be found lined up with his communist buddies in Rus sia, SHOOTING AT US WITH OUR OWN GUNS. HALLELUJA! Maybe a little common sense is finally beginning to seep into Washington. ONE more word on this Yugo slav arms aid business. One gathers from the lan guage of this morning's report that Tito himself objected to what he called the "frequent re appraisals" of the arms aid pro gram of the American govern ment and told us in effect that if we were going to keep tying strings to toe arms we were pro posing to give him we could take our guns and run with them and he'd get what he need ed elsewhere. Iie,'s MUCH too choosy. Icertainly hope we have told him in no uncertain terms that if that's the way he feels about it he can take his business elsewhere. firecracker. The worldwide game is to jump Uncle Sam for a handout. If the old gentleman hesitates, even for a moment, tell him if he doesn't come across pronto WE'LL SELL OUR FRIENDSHIP TO RUS SIA. That's blackmail, pure and simple. It isn't aid. It's TRIBUTE. OUPPOSE the Egyptians and the Arabs and the Indone sians and all the rest of them do take their business to Russia. The surest way to lose a friend is to lend him some money. The next surest way to lose his friendship is to GIVE HIM SOME MONEY. Why not let the Russians in herit all tHe hatreds and the ill will that follow lending money to poor risks and giving money to people who are out to SELL their friendship? Why not let the Russians go bankrupt shelling out to every body all over the world? IT'S high time for us to take a long, hard look at this whole foreign aid business, o 0 The Marshall plan, as applied to Western Europe, was one thing. It made sense. Under the original Marshall plan we were merely helping old friends and long-time customers to get back on their feet after the terrible losses of a w,orld war that was fought on their territory. But When we started bribing everybody all over the world to be friends with us we started a chain reaction that makes an atom bomb look like a penny OSC Forestry School Plans European Tour Corvallis OP) Oregon State College's school of forestry will sponsor a six-week tour of in dustrial forestry operations in seven European countries next summer.
