MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Wednesday, February 18, 1959 7 Truman Feels Allies Should Assume Equal iiplomatio Dnitiativs America Should Welcome Mission By Macmillan Continued From Pag 1) Because of my well - known personal feelings about the Vice President, I hope that no one will misconstrue the conviction I have that a visit by him to Russia, particularly at this time, or a visit by any other leading American offi cial for that matter, would backfire. There is another reason why I think a mission such as Macmillan's should be wel comed by us. I feel that the situation in which we find ourselves makes it desirable for our Allies to assume equal initiative in the diplomatic field, provided, of course, that they do so in full concert arid communication with all their partners. We must realize that what we are after is not only to keep the peace, but to make it durable, and at all stages to leave the door open to reason and 'conciliation, if we are to be met by a like attitude. And by like attitude, I do not mean flippant statements such as Khrushchev made recently before the Soviet Party Con gress in Moscow when he de clared that he is willing to concede victory in the cold war to the West while ex pecting the West to capitulate on Russian terms. The Soviets initiated the cold war and have kept it up ever since with taunts, threats and broken agreements. We never wanted the cold war, and we" don't like it. It has diverted our economy from further expansion for peaceful purposes at home and abroad. We converted from a war economy, begin ning in 1945, and achieved im mediate and unprecedented success in full employment and a balanced budget. But Communist aggression in Korea and elsewhere com pelled us to redirect some of our economy to measures of defense' at great sacrifice to our people. The Russians have now em barked upon an economic war against us- It is a war they cannot possibly win. They can only bring further privations to their own people. They could not win even if our own leadership failed to put to maximum use our enormous and as yet untapped industrial capacity and economic might. Let me remind the Kremlin rulers that this would not be a struggle between Socialism and Capitalism but one be tween dictatorial state capital ism and a free enterprise sys tem where there are laws pro tecting the rights and welfare of the individual. The Rus sians may feel confident that they possess the ability and the capacity to upset the economy of the entire world. If so, they are laboring under a delusion. Such a task is beyond their ability or that of any other single power. More and more we see that the future welfare of all mankind is based upon the free cooperation of all na tions. We have no misgivings about the industrial and eco nomic progress of Russia. Neither are we disturbed over the dramatic strides in indus try and agriculture in Red China. If the policies of Russia and Red China were aimed at peaceful cooperation with all their neighbors and for the benefit of mankind, we would be the first to acclaim their achievements and extend to them fullest cooperation. Mikoyan told the Soviet Party Congress that peace fol lows trade and that nations that trade with each other are at peace. If Mikoyan had come here not with the blandishments of trade, but with a program of peace, his chances for success would have been greatly en hanced. But Mikoyan has the mis taken belief, as do the Krem lin leaders and, I suspect, some businessmen here, that trade comes first and is a cure-all for all international differences. They believe that if you have trade, peace auto matically follows. Two world wars have proved that trade alone is not the road to peace. One thing history teaches us is that dictatorships almost inevitably have led to war, From the days 'of Augustus Caesar the record on this is clear. In this respect, however, I think the world is getting younger, rather than older, and the will to be free is mani festing itself in every part of the world. There is comfort in the fact that in this century of the two most oppressive dic tatorships in history, freedom has come to more nations and to more millions of people than has ever been known be fore. I hope and believe that in Russia and in China perhaps not in my lifetime - the in domitable will in the human being to be free will triumph. This immutable process of the will to be free will take some time. But in the mean time we have the problem of living and getting along with the Russian and Chinese dic tatorships as best we can. This means that we must keep our guard up, much as we would prefer not to do it, in order that we secure ourselves against rapacious and fool hardy imperialism. If Russia would agree to a peaceful unification of Ger many, with proper safeguards to Russian as well as Euro pean security, that would be an important step in keeping the peace. If Russia would make anoth er step by abandoning her in trigue in the Middle East so as to create a climate for peaceful international coop eration, the peace of the world would be strengthened. Success in the direction of peace in these two critical areas could produce a con structive approach to the problem in the Pacific. But let us remember that up to now the Communists use words they -do not mean. The principal difficulty is that where you have a gov ernment which, has total con trol of mind as well as ma terial things, it is hard to find many opportunities for mean ingful negotiations. But limited as the oppor tunities may be, the statesmen of the West must be on the search and on the alert for any possible chance to ad vance the cause of peace. The most immediate pressing prob lem facing the West is the ul timatum date set by Khrush chev to abandon West Berlin. Russia would like a meet ing at the "summit" without an agenda and we do not know for what purpose. Our experience at the "summit" conference at Geneva proved it a complete waste of time National Chin Up President Coming' L. WILLIAM JUDD To Be Here Friday L. William Judd of Milwau kie, Ore., national president of Chin Up clubs, will be in Medford Friday to attend a potluck dinner being held by Jackson county chapter 4, : . JC ll -2f - ja'-' Chin Up club.

Appling told the Board of Control that he had discover ed $2,400 excavation contract at MacLaren school for boys at Woodburn could be done for "about $1,000." The secretary stressed that he did not feel the contractor or architects had acted in bad faith but had merely failed to use "more . imaginative methods" that would have saved the state considerable money. The board ordered 1 study of the matter.

Bragg, N.C. -(DPD- Army doctors reported today that ailing Gen. George C. Mar shall, 78, suffered another stroke, more severe than the mild one of Jan. 15. Doctors at Womack Gen eral hospital where Marshall has been recovering from his stroke of last month, said the prognosis was "guarded." They said Marshall was conscious and his blood pres sure and pulse were stable. "At present, he shows no evi dence of paralysis of his ex tremities," the medical bulle tin said. The stroke came after an announcement. Tuesday that the retired general and for mer secretary of state had shown signs of "moderate" weakening, the first report that he was not recovering as expected from the mild stroke suffered before dawn Jan. 15 at his winter home in nearby Pinehurst. Marshall was virtually bed ridden through the last months of 1958. PAGE BOY SPIES Madison, Wis.- (UPD -David Blanchard, Republican floor leader in the Wisconsin as sembly, has charged that the Democrats have recruited the Capitol page boys as spies. "When you see a page around don't talk," he advised GOP colleagues. Federal lands in " Idaho make up 65.2 per cent of the state's 'total land area. and effort. It only served as a stage to present Khrushchev and Bulganin to the world as the new rulers of the Kremlin. It seems to make sense that before we are maneuvered into another such meeting we at least wait for the report of Prime Minister Macmillan after his visit to Russia.

UPI Science Editor New York- (UPD -A consen sus of experts deflates the vanity of skiers. Their sport is not espe- ' cially danger ous either to life or limb, the experts decided, and , as dangerous sports go, .-! theirs r a nks far below box ing and foot- Oelos smitk ball. The experts were medical doctors who patch up injuries of skiers and others, and sci entists who figure out theor etically what any measure able stress or strain may do to the human body. The for mer found ski injuries rela tively few and for the most part, unimpressive, the latter didn't, see much chance of skiing stresses and strains do ing anything spectacular. Not Strenuous They were even cold to the skier's notion that his is a strenuous sport! A man who has had a mild coronary can ski-but . he shouldn't jump, the consensus found. 'A wo man may ski through the first three months of pregnacy. Old age is no ban on skiing. A person with high blood pressure ought to ski-to bene fit from exercise and relaxa tion. The medical experts ex clude only arthritic persons from the sport. The experts thought prep arations for a winter of ski ing should be strenuous, how ever. For two months before the first snowfall, they sug gested, skiers should be con ditioning themselves with "sit-ups, bends, push-ups, and participation in active sports. Even walking and stair climb ing are of great value in this respect." V Builds Muscle Tone The purpose is to build muscle tone. Muscles sheath bone and the better their tone, the more they protect the bones. Injuries most often befall skiers who are mus cularly flabby or who have tired themselves tyith much skiing. Fatigue reduces mus cle tone. The ski-lift contrib utes . to injury by egging on the weary; it beguiles many skier into making one more downhill run. If he had had to walk up the hill, he would have gone home. WRITING SHORT CUT Chicago - (UPD The Paper Mate Pen Co. reported today that studies indicate writing time can be cut in half by starting from the bottom of a sheet of paper and working up. Parts of Body Found on Road Tijuana, Mexico - (UPD - Au thorities were out on a grue some search today for pieces of a body of a young woman believed to have been dis membered with a butcher's saw or similar instrument. Two legs and two handless arms were found scattered along the Ensenada - Tijuana highway Tuesday night about two miles south of here. Authorities have asked San Diego police to help in the search on the theory that the pieces were from the body of a young American woman who may have, been dismem bered in the United States. They said it was possible only those pieces already found were brought across the international border just north of here. The rest of the body could have been dis posed in the Untied States, authorities said. An examination of the pieces indicated the victim had been dead for only about 12 hours before the limbs were found by Oscar Gutier rez, 23, Tijuana. FINANCIER DIES New York-(UPD -Earle H.
