DEALING WITH RUSSIA The above map
shows Russia, and briefly shows its poten
tial as an industrial and agricultural nation.
This week's Great Decisions subject con
cerns how the free nations, and especially
the United States, can deal with Russia for
a lasting peace. The map was prepared
by the Foreign Policy association, which
also prepares and is one of the sponsors of
the eight-week Great Decisions program.
Professor Calls for
Reevaluating Attitudes
Reevaluation of attitudes
toward methods of instruc-
:ion was suggested by Dr.
Floyd Pennington, professor
sf chemistry at Southern Ore
gon college, at a meeting of
Crater Lions club last week.
Dr. Pennington spoke on
the "Russian Challenge to
American Science Education".
He told the group that Ameri
can colleges and universities
re graduating more men and
women but Russia is graduat
ing more science and engi
neering students.
The Russia methods of
teaching are similar to meth
ods used in the United States
leveral decades ago, he said.
He explained to the group
liow Russia uses a rigid course
of study and a strict discipline
to force students to perform
up to their best ability.
Should Improve Status
America should improve
the status of scientists as a
first step in , improving sci
ence education, he said. He
told the group America needs
to increase basic research on
the state, college and indus
trial levels. He also told of
oetter facilities needed for
classroom teaching of science.
Pennington said the Ameri
can system of education does
not need to educate everyone
to the top level but said use
should be made of skilled
technicians. He also stressed
the need for stronger require'
ments for science teachers.
He said Americans now
spend the same amount of
money on tobacco and alco
holic beverages as on educa
tion each year. He noted
spending the same money on
improving education would
have a much better benefit
to the country
Camp Fire Girls
Harizon Club
Five Medford Camp Fire
girls joined the Rogue River
Horizon club at their meeting
Thursday. New members, all
students at Hedrick Junior
High school, are Rebecca Row
an, Karen Mayfield, Chriss
Prentiss, Linda Morion, and
Susan Yoder.
Disscussed at the meeting
were various service projects
and the style show, first pre
sented last year, which will be
held during June. The girls
decided to assist at the gift
shop to be located in the new
Rogue Valley hospital and to
read to patients there.
The Rogue River Horizon
club includes former mem
bers of Camp Fire groups in
Medford and Eagle Point.
Driver's Action
Averts Bad Injuries
The action of Walter H. Lar-
sen, 725 West 11th st., a Cali
fornia Oregon Power com
pany truck driver, is credited
with avoiding serious injuries
in a traffic accident, accord
ing to Copco officials and
state police.
Larsen was driving toward
Medford, about one mile
north of the Butte Falls inter
section of Highway 62, Jan.
10 when he saw an oncoming
car go out of control and be
gin to spin around on the
highway. He turned the truck
into a six-foot ditch along the
road and stopped.
The car out of control, op
erated by James Lewis Dun
can, route 1, box 644, Eagle
Point, struck the ditched
truck. The driver and three
other youths in the car were
saved from possible serious
injury by the quick action of
the Copco driver, according
to company officials.
Larsen suffered a wrenched
neck and his passenger, Har
ry Simons, a bruised arm, in
the accident, company offi
cials said. State police officers
who later investigated the ac
cident also said the action
saved the teenagers from
serious injuries.

Ai responsible people point
out, the United States is al
ready "dealing" with Russia
and has been for years. We
carry on day to day diploma
tic and commercial business
with the Soviets through our
(and their) embassies and con
sulates. We work with them
in the UN. We exchange cor
respondence at top levels of
government.
The great debate of the
moment it, How can we deal
most effectively with Russia?
Can we negotiate a settle
ment of any hard issues of the
cold war? Can we gain any
thing from new negotiations?
"How?" is perhaps the first
and most important question
The Kremlin wants another
conference "at the summit,'
with heads 'of government
participating. The White
House and other Western capi
tals are reluctant to go to the
"summit" unless progress can
be made first at lower, diplo
matic levels. And Secretary
General Dag Hammerskjold
has urged the statesmen that
negotiations on at least one
issue disarmament be con
tinued in the UN.
Barrag. of Letters
In a barrage of letters to
Western governments, during
December and January, So
viet Premier Nikolai A. Bul-
ganin outlined Russia's sum
mit plans. Unlike the 1955
summit conference, which
was limited to the "Big
Four," the proposed new
meeting might include as
many as 38 heads of govern
ment.
All the NATO powers, Rus
sia, Communist East Europe
Red China and a number of
uncommitted Afro-Asian pow
ers should be represented, ac
cording to Bulganin. He
would be willing, however, to
discuss "a more restricted" at
tendance.
Many observers felt that the
New Year's flood of Russian
mail gave Moscow an edge in
the propoganda war. The West
could not afford to ignore the
proposal and thus appear to
be refusing to negotiate at all.
Promised Little
Nor, on the other hand, did
the West want to raise false
hopes in the world by partici
pating in a conference which
promised little in the way of
concrete success. Western
leaders recalled that, in the
1955 summit meeting, Russia
concurred in free, all-German
elections to unite that divided
country. But the elections
have never been held and
Germany remains divided.
"We must not be un
willing," observed Britain's
Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan, at the NATO confer
ence in mid-December, "to
enter into discussion, debate
and restatement of our posi
tion ... to prove . . . that we
have done all that honorable
men could do to seek for
peace."
President Dwight D. Eisen
hower, too, in his State of the
Union message pledged that
"we as a nation will always
go the extra mile with anyone
on earth if it will bring us
nearer a genuine peace."
Constructive Work
But, most Western states
men agree, there should be no
new meeting at the summit
until there has been more
constructive work "in the
valley."
Lester Pearson, Canada's
opposition leader and former
foreign secretary, called on
Dec. 11 for "frank, serious
and complete exchange of
views, especially between
Moscow and Washington,
through diplomatic and politi-
cal channels."
The President answered the
Bulganin letters on Jan. 12,
taking the position that sum
mit conferences "do not au
tomatically produce good re
sults." Cold war problems, he
insisted, ''should be worked
on in advance through diplo-j
matic channels and by our
foreign ministers." Let the
top-level meeting be b.eld, he
concluded, when he can be j
sure it will "hold good hope j
of advancing the cause of j
peace and justice in tne
world."
Agree to Possibility
Under Soviet pressure in
the glare of world public
opinion, the West has agreed
to the possibility of another
summit conference in the in
definite future, under prior
conditions.
The unanswered question is,
What prior conditions? How
much agreement on what key
issues must precede a top-
level meeting?
Divided Germany, many ob
servers believe, is the central
unresolved issue of the East
West cold war. The nation has
remained divided since its de
feat and occupation in 1945.
Important Member
Today West Germany is one
of the most important mem
bers of NATO, Western Eu
rope's major industrial power
and the principal U.S. and
British military base on the
continent. East Germany,
under a Communist regime,
serves as a base for 22 Soviet
divisions.
As recently as the Geneva
summit conference of 1955
Russia agreed that Germany
should be reunited through
free, all-German elections.
But the current Soviet posi
tion is that there can be no
reunification that might en
danger the Communist politi
cal structure of satellite East
Germany. Presumably free
elections would mean an end
to communism.
Two plans have recently
been offered to break the
German log jam. One origi
nated (although it is not en
tirely new) with George F.
Kennan, former U.S. ambassa
dor to Moscow. The other ori
ginated with Polish Foreign
Minister Adam Rapacki.
Kennan Proposal
The Kennan proposal, of
fered on Nov. 24, calls for the
withdrawal of both Western
and Soviet troops from both
parts of Germany. Such a
step, according to Kennan,
might accomplish several de
sirable results geographical
separation of the military
forces of the "nuclear" pow
ers, paving the way to Ger
man reunification, creating an
opportunity for greater inde
pendence in the rest of satel
lite Europe.
Kennan s suggestion rests
on his judgement that the
West "exaggerates" the threat
of Russian military aggres
sion in Europe and 'under
estimates the advantages of
getting Soviet troops out of
East Germany and, if possible,
East Europe.
Rapacki Plan
The Rapacki plan also calls
for a "thinning out" of mili
tary power in Central Europe.
The Polish leader called in
early December for a ban on
nuclear weapons in East and
West Germany, Poland and
Czechoslovakia. Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai A. Bulganin took
up the proposal in his. series
of letters to heads of govern
ment during December and
January.
Both the Kennan and Ra
packi proposals created wide
interest and debate in West
ern European- circles.
In West Germany Kennan's
ideas found a sympathetic
hearing, particularly among
members of the major opposi
tion party, the Social ,Demo
crats, who have long enter
tained the possibility of a
"neutralized" united Germany.
Strongly Criticized
In the U.S., however, Ken
nan was strongly criticized by
his two former bosses, Harry
S. Truman and former Secre
tary of State Dean Acheson.
Accusing Kennan of not
grasping "the realities of
power relationships," Acheson
warned that a removal of
American forces from the
continent would leave Soviet
power unopposed in Western
and Eastern Europe alike and
free to undermine the inde
pendence of the free nations
of Europe.
President ' Eisenhower,
meanwhile, reacted scepti
cally to the Polish plan in his
reply to Premier Bulganin of
Jan. 12: " . .' . There cannot
be great significance," he
wrote, "in denuclearizing a
small area when, as you say,
'the range of modern types of
weapons does not know any
geographical limit . . . Fur
thermore, your proposal in
Germany is in no way related
to the ending of the division
