gtiUff fnd the gity, th
fairyland pavilions nd the
rainbow lights, the Brussels
World's Fair hs developed
into a major background of
the co war.
On both sijes of the Iron
Curtain experts are trying to
assess ho is ahead at this
point of the six-months strug
gle, in whiclfethe United States
and Russia are in direct and
opn competition for one of
the few times since the end of
the wartime partnership.
This summing-up week, the
ftlf-wiy mark in the fair
whieh opened April 17. Gross
amissions have passed 17,
0,000 with the holiday half
f the fair yet to come. So
the final total in October may
b near 40,000,000.
Both nations have recog
nized in this multitude a
unique chance to promote
good will and public relations
on a mammoth scale. The
question they have been ask
ing themselves this week is:
How well have we seized it?

guile, the United States is con
ducting its summing up mostly
in public. Congressmen have
attacked the American exhibit
as incomplete, misleading or
inept. American tourists have
complained so often there is
a wry saying around the
American pavilion: Scratch a
taxpayer and you'll find a
critic.
President Eisenhower asked
George V. Allen of the U. S
Information Agency to fly
over for a look. He liked most
of what he saw. Former Presi
dent Hoover, who used to deal
with fairs as a federal officer,
came over and said the U. S
display was "magnificent.'.'
Defenders and detractors
made such a hullabaloo they
missed the cries of anguish
from the Soviet Pavilion
where Russia, too, was con
ducting a midway clinic.
A few days ago a glum
member of the Soviet staff
complained private, "Y o u
can't satisfy everybody." It
might have been coincidence
that a few hours earlier Dep
uty Premier Anastas Mikoyan
had departed for the Kremlin
after some reportedly harsh
criticism of the Sputnik ex
hibit.
Architectures Differ
This proud centerpiece of
the Soviet building a real
Sputnik which was to have
gone up if the first failed to
orbit, and a full scale model
of Sputnik Two is displayed
completely without imagina
tion. Furthermore Russian tour
ists seem to be just as critical
though not aggressively so
as American tourists.
The Russian building is a
glass and steel rectangle the
size of an armory. American
architect Edward A. Stone
fashioned for the U. S. a beau
tiful circular building, and
there is not the slightest doubt
that architecturally the Amer.
ican Pavilion overwhelms the
Russian building. Even Rus
sian technicians have been
heard admitting this many
times.
But the exhibits are more
important propaganda than
the buildings. Russia has
poured $50 million into ham
mering home the following
message instantly and bluntly
to whoever crosses its threshold:
Forty-five years ago Russia
was a land of wooden plows
today it pioneers the space.
All over the vast hall the
theme of the great advance is
repeated 1913 against 1958
in housing, in education, in
industry and the arts.
Pulls the Crowds
But Brussels is the soft sell,
and the one million season
ticket holders and the multi
tude of others who cotaie more
than once seem to find the
American Pavilion more re
warding than the Russian. It
has three of the biggest crowd
pullers at the fair an hourly
display of inexpensive fash
ions by beautiful models,
"Cinerama," a circular screen
color film of a trip across the
United States, and American
voting machines.
The American Pavilion is
the only one open after 7 p.m.
till 11 p.m. It is the only one
with free washrooms and
don't think there isn't propa
ganda value in that! It has the
most guides 200 young men
and women from every state
in the union, all linguists. Vis
itors enjoy talking with them
whereas it is difficult to find
anyone to explain something
in the Russian Pavilion.
Since the fair opened, Unit
ed Press International corres
pondents have spoken to hun
dreds, of tourists from many
lands about the Russian-U. S.
rivalry. From these talks it
appears that women nearly
always prefer the American
Pavilion to the Russian. Farm
ers, laborers and technicians
are more impressed with the
Soviet display. White collar
workers, students and pro
fessional men prefer the
American layout.
It's Neck and Neck
It is difficult to find unbi
ased visitors since even many
Swedes and Swiss have East
or West sympathies. But one
neutral, Andre Berguer, press
attache of the Swiss exhibit,
said:
"I don't understand the crit
icism of the American Pavil
ion. It's the most beautiful of
them all and better than the
Russian Pavilion, inside and
out."
The American and the Rus
sian pavilions are drawing
two and three times as many
people a day as any other pop
ular exhibit such as the Brit
ish, Dutch, Swiss and Czech.
United Press International
correspondents, spot checking
visitors to each pavilion, found
a slightly larger number in
favor of the American display.
What is appears to add up to
at this half-way mark is that
at Brussels it's a neck and
neck East-West race with the
next three months telling the
story.

Rousing Welcome
For Ike's Brother
Managua,; Nicaragua (UPD
The Nicaraguan government
today prepared an enthusias
tic reception for Dr. Milton S.
Eisenhower on his arrival
from Costa Rica.
Eisenhower was scheduled
to arrive this morning by
plane from San Jose. Nicar
agua is the fourth stop on his
good-will study mission tour
of the Central American re
publics as the personal repre
sentative of his brother, Presi
dent Eisenhower.
The only discordant note
was sounded by university
students. Oh Saturday, the
"university center" issued a
manifesto criticizing Eisen
hower. Students' Charges
The students charged Ei
senhower did not come to
strengthen friendly ties but
to subject still further the
Nicaraguan economy and po
litical policies to the inter
ests of "certain ruling circles
of the United States."
Eisenhower was received
with similar expressions of
hostility by university stu
dents in the first three repub
lics he visited, Panama, Costa
Rica and Honduras. There has
been no recurrence of the vio
lence which marred the Latin
American tour this spring of
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon.
Eisenhower said he was tak
ing with him for study in
Washington a number, of
memoranda on various burn
ing issues, including a pro
posal for refunding Costa
Rica's Dublic debt with a $30
million credit, and proposals
to ensure stabilization of cof
fee prices.

Mertheimer, one of the lead
ers of legalized gambling in
Nevada and a well known for

bling figure, died of leukemia
Sunday at Cedars of Lebanon
hospital. He was 74. e
Wertheimer, a native of
Ceyboygan, Mich., had been

By DAYTON MOORE
United Press International
Washington (UPD Back
stairs at the White House:
Calm and determined. This
was the consensus at the
White House of how President
Eisenhower came through the
first five days of the Mid
east crisis. It was the general
opinion of his aides, visitors
and newsmen who covered his
reading of -a statement Tues
day for radio and television
recorded for broadcast.
The President's demeanor
at times1 was on the grim side
t understandably but he ap
peared in good spirits never
theless. Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder,
the President's physician, was
understood to be well satis
fied with the way the chief
executive was bearing up. As
has been his practice since
the President's heart attack
in 1955 Snyder saw Eisen
hower three times daily at
the start, midway and at the
end of his work day.
Officer Named
To Humane Society
William O- Herring has
been named humane officer
of the Southern Oregon Hu
mane Society, it has been an
nounced. He will be located
at 2910 Table Rock rd., on
property retained by the so
ciety. Mrs. W. O. Gibbs and T. ,C.
Grooms are new directors
this year, replacing members
whose terms had expired.
The President has been un
dergoing about once a month
at the White House a fairly
detailed examination by Sny
der and consulting physicians
from the Army's Walter Reed
Medical Center. They are not
as thorough as head to toe
checkups and findings of the
physicians are not made pub
lic. The fact that 'the Presi
dent hasn't been put through
a complete physical examin
ation at the Army hospital
since last November supports
statements of White House
sources that nothing wrong
has been noted in the monthly
checkups.
During the first days of the
crisis -4he President had to
California had a vehicle

death per 100,000 miles of
travel in 1957, the National
Automobile Club reported.
This is an "improvement"
over the 6.6 rate set in 1953.
cut short his usual middav
rest period. He was able to
rest an hour or an hour and
a half most days instead of his
usual two hours.
He also passed up the round
of midweek golf he usually
plays on the Burning Tree
Club here. However; he prac
ticed each day, except Friday
when it rained, for about 30
minutes on the White House
south lawn. An aide said the
President found the banging
of 75 to 100 golf balls his
most effective way to relieve
tension.
Alexander K. Kislov, repre
senting Russia's Tass News
Agency, attended most of
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty's news con
ferences during the first days
of the crisis. He is accredited
to cover the White House but
spends little time there ex
cept when there are big in
ternational developments. Al
though he could, he did not
question Hagerty.
He recently was assigned,
at his request, a regular seat
at the President's news con
ferences. For most reporters
covering the presidential news
conferences seats are on a
first-come, first-serve basis.
However, seats are assigned
reporters for the American
wire services and radio and
television networks, the Brit
ish and French wire services
and a few U.S. newspapers
who cover the White House
regularly.
