'Galileo, " Editorial Correspondence . . . By ERIC ALLEN, Managing Editor Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif. "I was proud of Oregon," said the lady. Now she's no football fan, nor has she often been in the state of Oregon, and she's never even seen the Webfoot cam pus. But her sentiments were right. "We were proud, too. And, surprisingly, even the blase sportswriters of California have fallen all over themselves to give credit to the high-spirited Oregon team, the "Cinderella" eleven from little old Oregon who held mighty Ohio State to a squeak-by win. There was glamor and well glory in the game. It was a show of a lifetime. The Rose Bowl game is a spectacle as much as it is a football game. The sight of nearly 100,000 people, all gath ered in one place at one time for a common purpose, is some how a moving thing. One hundred thousand people is a lot of people, and the. roar they can emit is spine-tingling. Oregon, 19-point underdogs in pre-game expertise, not only did remarkably well on the field. They won the unstint ed admiration of the southern Cal sportswriters, probably the most biased, hard-bitten crew of typewriter pounders in the business. Vincent X. Flaherty, of the Los Angeles Examiner, said: "It was an inspiring spectacle because Oregon, embattled and outmanned, made it so . . . The Oregonians put on an outstanding display and, surprisingly enough, even seemed to be the superior team a great part of the way ..." In the Sa:n Francisco Chronicle, Bill Leiser said: ". . . What impressed everyone from everywhere was the fact the Oregons took on the Buckeyes man for man, face to face, the hard way, all the way, and came up even . . . Ohio is America's No. 1 team, or was, and despised Oregon was just as good ..." Berkeley, Calif. Oregon's performance at the Bowl game made as big an impression on the "man in the street" as it did on the "experts." In Bakersfield, the service sta tion man, noticing our Oregon license, said, "Say, we really showed 'em, didn't we?" (Notice the "WE." Oregon was "The West" on New Year's Day.) But aside from the thrill of a clean, hard-fought, brilliant game of football, the "bowl" provided other thrills. The Ohio State band is probably one of the best in the nation, and in both pregame and halftime shows, put on a well-thought-out, humorous and expert routine that classified as top enter tainment. And, as mentioned, the impact of 98,202 people assembled is in itself terrific. The day was gorgeous (as has been the weather on most of this California jaunt); the grass was green with lemon-yellow markings (Oregon's colors); the fans were ardent and partisan and buses and fumes and crowds success. New Year's Eve in Los Angeles was something else again. Where the happy crowd at the Bowl game was friendly, gregarious, and noisy, the crowd on the streets of downtown L.A. shared only the noise. There was an aura of suspicion, of unfriendliness, of hectic gaiety as though only on this one night of the year could they release all the pent-up emotions of drab and colorless lives throughout the year. Confetti and noisemakers and auto horns and liquor blended to produce a sort of mass semi-hysteria worthy of a forum crowd in the Rome of Caligula. In the hotel the alcohol-tinged celebration was less fran tic, but equally noisy and equally irresponsible. Cannon crackers were shot off in the halls for hours; empty whisky bottles went plunging to their destruction in the air-well, as shouts and threats and boasts were screamed from window to window. Our party (two young girls, the family secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and the writer) retired after a moving picture at about 10 p.m., and finally the younger generation got to sleep, mercifully, about 11. The elders, con cerned over various improbabilities of the night and more sensitive to noise, finally drifted into fitful sleep about 2 a.m., as the noise from Broadway two blocks away began to die down. Small World Dept.: After in the Rose bowl, we sat down next to our neighbors from across the street in Medford, the Richard Fangers. On the other side was Rick Schuchard, also of Medford, and a row behind were friends from Hillsboro. The Hollywood freeway, mentioned with some disparage ment in this space earlier, is not a heck of a lot better at 6 o'clock in the morning than it is at 7 at night. We wonder if that horrid stretch of pavement ever is clear of cars, trucks and buses, two or three or four or five abreast, and in an unbroken line for miles. We admit that one does, surprisingly, become accustomed to it. Leaving Los Angeles in the early morning for the long pull to the Bay area, we scooted and darted in and out of 60-mph traffic almost with the best or worst of them. But we still claim that driving on that freeway does not make for peace of mind nor longevity. From L.A. to Oakland, the cent. There are a few stretches of sub-standard highways, where two- and three-lane roads compress and compact traf fic which needs four lanes to flow properly. But mostly, it is four-lane of traffic is not too great, it is a delight to drive particu larly early in the morning with the sun shining bright and warm, and the sky blue above. "Freeway," we have discovered, is a relative term, and is frequently applied inexactly. The word, m its pure sense, with opposing traffic lanes separated, and access to the main thoroughfare limited to "flow-on" lanes. But in common parlance, it with limited (but not controlled) roadside businesses and cross-streets complicate the onward flow; and even to three-lane highways where it is as much as one's life is worth to pass the car in front. These ways are far from when "freeway" will mean just a highway limited to motor only limited to certain places, but controlled so that incom ing traffic will flow in to the stream in unobstructed and unobstructing fashion. Final thought on the Los This is not for us. There are too many, too many, too many people; more than 5 million (our earlier estimate of more than 1 million was far short of the reality) and we can hardly wait to get back to a place where, warm shunshine in Decem ber and January or not, one can look at the hills, savor the flavor of pure water, and know that the people are friends and neighbors; not the frustrated and harried denizens of a fantastic, complicated and crowded coastal plain, plagued by smog, taxes and housing projects, burgeoning in all direc tions. E.A. Hearings Slated On Washington (IP) Senate investigators moving into secret hearings on the na tion's defenses vowed Satur day to get "all the facts" in the Gaither report suppres sed by the White House. Senate Democratic Major ity Leader Lyndon Johnson said his preparedness sub committee would start ques tioning key witnesses Monday to determine the contents of the secret report said to Monday, January 6. I9S8 friendly, and the entire day- notwithstanding was a' huge climbing some 40 rows of seats highway is, mostly, magnifi "freeway," and where the flow denotes a divided highway, is also applied to four lanes access; to four lanes where "free." And the day is coming what it was coined to mean vehicles, and with access not Angeles - and - suburbs complex: Gaither Report recommend an enormous de fense increase to stave off "catastrophe" from Russia's missile might. The White House refused to hand over the report on the ground that it was prepared for President Eisenhower and the National Security Coun cil. But Johnson said he would still try to obtain a copy, although he knew of no way to compel the President to divulge a confidential communication. - Mf fOLKS JUSTVflfcB YMEH Matter of Fact WHY NO "IMPACT?" Washington Among the other decisions crowding in on President Eisenhower is one which is a great deal more import ant than it a p p e a rs on the surface. He must ap- 41 prove or dis- ZM -r JJUSdl, Will (J II is before the Natinnal Qo. curity Council, for a new mechanism for measuring at all times just where this country and the Communist bloc stand m the cold war and the arms race. The best way to under stand the importance of this proposal is to recall the most dramatic and significant mo ment in the hearings before the Johnson Preparedness Subcommittee, when intelli gence chief Allen Dulles was briefing the committee mem bers. The Senators listened glumly while Dulles recited the facts that the Soviets had been testing ballistic missiles since 1952-53; that they had stockpiled hundreds of operational medium range missiles; that the forward bases of the Strategic Air Force, except perhaps for the Spanish and Moroccan bases, were already subject to at tack from operational Soviet IRBM sites; that the coastal areas of the United States were also subject to submarine-based missile attack; that the Soviets should have operational ICBMs and ICBM bases in the near future; and so on. rpHEN Sen. Stuart Syming- -- ton, with an assist from other Senators, began asking the obvious questions. How long had the Central Intel ligence Agency had such in telligence? The CIA began getting "hard" intelligence on Soviet missile progress as long ago as 1952, Dulles re plied. Had the intelligence been made available to the National Security Council? Certainly. Why, then, had our own" missile effort actual ly been cut back? Dulles replied frankly that the CIA had "not been able to impress the NSC with the impact of the intelligence" which the CIA had had "for some time." Why not? At this point, Dulles cited the basic law under which the CIA was created. It was not the function of the CIA, he point ed out, to compare United States capabilities and the capabilities of the Soviet Union. On the contrary, the CIA was specifically enjoin ed from concerning itself with the American defense situation. The CIA was strict ly confined to foreign intelli gence. This is not, of course, the whole reason why the NSC was not "impressed with the impact" of the CIA's intelli gence. The basic reason was that the men who dominated the NSC, like Secretary of the Treasury George Hump hrey and Secretary of De fense Charles Wilson, did not want to be impressed. TF THEY had been impress ed, as honest men and patriots (which both men are) they could not possibly have defended, to themselves or others, the policy of defense cutbacks which was central to the whole Administration program. And yet it is also true that the fact that the CIA is strictly limited to foreign intelligence made it far easier for men like Hump hrey and Wilson to avoid be ing "impressed by the im pact" of that intelligence. For, in the fantastically complex structure of the American government, there is no single body whose con tinuing, day-to-day function it is to examine objectively where we really stand in the cold war and the arm race. Thus the CIA's' intelligence t i THSYfeg AWDATgACH OTHER !' By Stewart Alsop tends to be considered in a vacuum. In the pre-Sputnik era, for example, leading Administra tion spokesmen repeated over and over, like an incantation, that "we have never been stronger." In a literal sense, in the sense of total firepower available to the American armed forces, this was no doubt true. But in the only sense in which it had real meaning in terms of the comparative power of this country and the Soviet Union it was absolutely untrue. BUT IT was easy for the highest officials to believe their own complacent reas surances, because no one had had the job of constantly comparing Soviet and Ameri can power in meaningful terms. Theoretically, this ,is the job of the NSC itself. But the members of the NSC are also the chief government policy-makers, and it is fool ish in the nature of things to expect the policy-makers to sit in judgment over their own policies. Under the present system, there are only occasional and sporadic efforts to arrive at a balanced judgment of where we really stand. One such effort was represented by the now-famous report - of the Gaither Committee. There was no intelligence made available to the Gaither Committee which was not also available to the NSC. But because the Gaither Com mittee had no special interest in defending established policies, its members were profoundly "impressed by the impact" of the CIA's intelli gence. The proposal before the President amounts to a sort of continuing Gaither Committee. The new body would have no policy-making functions. Its function, in stead, would be to keep a running box score on the cold war and the arms race, so that intelligence would no longer be considered in a vacuum, its function, indeed, would be to keep rubbing the noses of the members of the NSC including the Presi dent himself in the real meaning of the facts collect ed by the CIA. (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Tanker Not Given, Air Force Insists Washington (IPI The Air Force Saturday denied it has assigned one of its new KC- 135 jet transport tankers to Vice President Richard M. Nixon for his personal use. It said reports that it had done so are "entirely without fact." The denial was issued after Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney wired Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy asking by what authoritv the Air Force could furnish the Vice President with the latest, most expen sive and most urgently-needed jet transport." The Oklahoma Democrat said in a statement that allow ing Nixon to use the KC-135 as a "cross - country taxi" would be "extravagant and dangerous." He said he doubt ed the Strategic Air Com mand had a "sufficient sup ply" of tankers to afford mak ing one available to the vice President. The Air Force said all it had done was to offer Nixon an "orientation flight" on one of the new planes which has been stationed in Washington for several weeks. It is the same KC-135 in which Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, recently marlo a rprnrrl - settinff flieht o Argentina. The Air Force did not say whether Nixon had accepted the offer or whether a trip out of the country on an offi cial mission would constitute an "orientation flight." In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS More about science. You'd better read it. This science stuff is getting rugged. rpHIS time it's "subliminal A perception." Subliminal perception is a method where by split second commercials are flashed across the tele vision screen at high speed. They are said to make an im pression on the viewer's SUB CONSCIOUS but are not seen by the viewer's EYE. The viewer isn't conscious of what is being done to him. That is to say: You are sold down the river, but DON'T KNOW IT. You just go out and buy what you've been told to buy, but you don't know you've been told. You don't know why you do what you're doing. You just go and DO it. WOW!!!! VSHEN first appraised of this federal communications com mission being skeptical hu man beings, like the rest of us was inclined to look on it as probably a lot of malar- key. But the subliminal per ception folks kept on beating their drum. So the F.C.C. is going to make a test. Come January 13. it will try it out on members of the congress. The trial demonstration will be conducted over the closed-circuit facilities of Sta tion WTOP-TV, a Washington affiliate of the Columbia Broadcasting system. A sepa rate demonstration will be conducted for members of the Washington press corps. TJMMMMM. This subliminal percep tion stuff has unlimited hori zons. For example: TT LOOKS now like the 'Democrats have a walk away coming up in 1958 and another one on tap for 1960. What with recessions and Sputniks and Christmas bills and one thing and another, everybody is upset and dis gruntled. When we're upset and disgruntled our historic reaction is to throw the ins out and put the outs in. It looks like a cinch. But Suppose the wicked and crafty GOPs should unbe knownst to anybody BUY UP THE S U B L I M INAL RIGHTS on all the TVs and begin to bombard the voters with subliminal commands to go to the polls and VOTE RE PUBLICAN!!! THIS stuff is getting serious. Tt will Vw interesting to see how the members of the congress react to these sub liminal perception tests on January 13. U.P. Correspondents Eye 1958 United Press correspond ents around the world look ahead at the probable course of world events in 1958. War No war unless the Kremlin goes insane or makes a fatal blunder. Soviet Russian lead ers are fully aware of allied retaliatory power. The Middle East is the big danger area. Anything could happen there. A small shooting war could spread into a big one. Cold War No let-up in sight. On the contrary, Washington expects Russia to put on more heat as the day approaches for in stalling missile bases in Eu rope. European officials are more hopeful that tension may be eased. "Summit" Conference Pressure on the Eisenhower administration for a meeting, which might lead to lessening of tension, is growing and will continue to grow. Allied gov ernments and some American political leaders are exerting the pressure. Belief in Wash ington is that a meeting some time in 1958 would not be sur prising provided advance soundings gave any hope for success. European officials are more optimistic. Eight out of nine experts predict a meet ing. Missiles American military men look for substantial progress this year in the race with Russia. But Russia will make pro gress, too, and the relative standing at the end of 1958 is problematical. United States missilemen hope the Thor and Jupiter intermediate range ballistic missiles may be oper ational by the end of 1958. Optimists hope the Atlas and Titan intercontinental ballistic missiles may be put into op eration in 1959. The Navy's Polaris IRBM program will be pressed. It could show sen sational progress. Domestic Politics Differences between the Democratic majority in Con Return to Seen Cold By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent The big powers may resort to old-fashioned secret diplo- macy to open the way for new cold war negotiations. Pressure for a "Summit" m e e t i ng in which Presi dent Eisen hower and other Allied heads of gov- P T ri m o n f c Charier " " x McCann would face Nikita S. Khrushchev and Nikolai A. Bulganin is mount ing all over the world. Leaders of some Allied countries in Western Europe, and some high-ranking Am erican political leaders want such a meeting. They seem to feel that statesmen ought to grasp at any straw that offers hope of removing the threat of a ca tastrophic war. President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles are among those who oppose a meeting until Russia gives solid evidence that it is willing to negotiate in good faith. They feel that a "Summit" conference at this time might make things worse instead of better because there is no ap parent starting point for use ful negotiations. That certainly makes sense. Nevertheless, pressure for a conference is likely to keep growing. It looks as if there probably will be a Summit conference during 1958, per haps after a meeting of for eign ministers of the Big Four powers the United States, Britain, France and Russia. Secret Diplomacy Best Hope In any event, the best hope for the success of any con ference seems to lie in secret diplomacy-secret negotiations conducted by the foreign min istries and embassies of the countries concerned. A suggestion that secret diplomacy be used to break the present East-West dead lock was made last month by George F. Kennan, former United States Ambassador to Russia who is now professor of history at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, N. J. Kennan is lecturing for a year at Oxford University, These lectures are being broadcast in England. They have attracted interest all over the world. In one of them Kennan said that issues between Russia and the West must be broken down and negotiated individually. "For this, it is not the hectic encounters of senior states men under the spotlight which we need." Kennan said. "It is the patient, quiet, orderly Headlines gress ana tne administration over conduct of foreign pol icy will continue to harass the United States, despite efforts to minimize partisanship in this field. Furthermore, all indications point toward a substantial further Demo cratic gain in the November congressional elections. So this situation is expected to prevail until the 1960 presi dential election at least. Red China Washington does not expect the United States to recognize Communist China this year or to agree to its admittance to the United Nations. If the Peiping government freed the six Americans known to be imprisoned in Red China, it would be a smart move. But there would have to be a com plete change in climate before recognition was granted. Fur thermore, the administration is not willing to run the risk of undercutting such staunch allies as the Philippines, Thai land and South Viet Nam as well as Nationalist China. H-Bomb Power London expects an official announcement any day that Britain has completed the first step in taming and harnessing the power of the Hydrogen bomb for peaceful purposes. Kzs. of The Year v7est German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who was 82 Sunday, is likely to be Eu rope's man of the year. He is preparing now to sound out Russia on the possibility of East-West talks to reduce ten, sion. He may be the man to break the ice.

Secret Diplomacy War Possibility fuse of the regular channels of private communication be tween governments, as they have grown up and proved their worth over the course of the centuries." Kennan Supported By Heuss President Theodor Heuss of West Germany strongly supported Kennan in a broad cast new year message to the German people. Heuss pointed out that se cret negotiations led to the solution of the bitter Trieste dispute between Italy and Yugoslavia. He pointed out also that the Russian block ade of Berlin, which could have exploded into war, was ended after confidential Russian-American negotiations. Secret diplomacy became a horrid phrase after World War I because of the pre-war secret agreements among Pressure for Summit Conference Mounts By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (IF) That oldie about history repeating itself is making good again g'-'iCT'i in tne wnoop- it-up pressure campaign for a n o ther Big Four meeting at the sum mit. The pattern is i d e n t ical with that of early months Lyle C. Wilson Of 1955 when a reluctant President Eisen hower was pressured into joining the French and Brit ish in inviting the head men of the Soviet Union to meet with them in Geneva. Then, as now, there was popular clamor in Great Brit ain, France and other Euro pean nations for such a meet ing. Then, as now, the clamor was on a steadily ascending scale which in 1955 became so great as to persuade the President to take the chance The last straw in the bal ance which weighted Eisen hower's judgm'ent in favor of the 1955 Summit conference was the political necessity of the Conservative British gov ernment then in power. A British election was coming up and the Socialist opposi tion was making political hay with demands for a summit conference. Conference Aided Tories Eisenhower agreed to the conference in mid-May and the British Conservatives eas ily won their election contest before the conference took place. The President's hopes and enthusiasm for the confer ence increased rapidly once he was committed to it, and he took off for Geneva in July, 1955, expecting to ac complish something substan tial for world peace. The meeting among the British, French, Soviet Union and the United States leaders was friendly. They agreed, rough ly, that things were bad all over and that something should be done. Doing something was a task assigned to a later November meeting of the foreign minis ters of the conferring nations. The Big Four in July assigned a three-point program of problems for solution by the foreign ministers, as follows: German unification and a European security system. Disarmament. Development of E a s i- West contacts. The Geneva Summit con ference briefly created a rosy glow of phony optimism which came to be called the Geneva atmosphere. Returning to the United i States, Eisenhower thought FUNERAL SERVICES In Every Price Range Since 1908 PERL Funeral Home Phone SP 2-6675 powers on which many blamed its outbreak. The new technique was to be, as Wood row Wilson put it in the first of his historical fourteen points: "Open covenants openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private interna tional understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall pro ceed always frankly and in the public view." The ban against secret agreements was fine. In fact, the United Nations Charter specifies that no treaty which has not been registered with it may be invoked in the U.N. Negotiations, however, is something else. The present method of conducting diplo macy in the public view - in a goldfish bowl with every fish putting on an act - some times doesn't woork. things had turned for the bet ter. He reported that "each side assured the other ear nestly and often that it in tended to pursue a new spirit of conciliation and coopera tion." He added, however, that the November Foreign Min isters conference would be what he called the acid test of those expressions of good. intentions. On that the Pres ident was dead right. The Foreign Ministers conference met on schedule, failed and adjourned. There is no German unifi cation, no disarmament and no satisfactory European se curity system. Perhaps the most meaningful comment of all was by the Soviet's Nikita S. Khrushchev that the West ern policy of wringing con cessions from the Soviet Union by negotiating from a position of strength had fail ed at Geneva. It may be a hopeful factor that in any Summit confer ence this year the position of strength will have shifted to Moscow. Atlas Test Fired On Ground Saturday Cape Canaveral, Fla. HPI A mighty Atlas, biggest of this country's missile weap ons, was test fired on the ground Saturday in prepara tion to launching soon. The i big intercontinental missile was held to its launch ing pad by mechanical de vices while its engines were run up for about 15 seconds. Apparently, the test was successful. When trouble de velops during a static firing, the engines are usually cut after a few seconds. Crews worked long hours in stiff, chill winds that still lashed the cape in the wako of the northeaster that bat tered the Florida coast Fri day. The missile's service tower was rolled back, at mid-afternoon and the test took place at about 6:15 p.m. (EST) af ter the missile had been fill ed with liquid oxygen on which its engines operate.
