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

Appling Attacks
Building Program
Salem (UPD Secretary of
State Howell Appling Jr.,
Tuesday took a crack at the
state building program charg
ing that "unimaginative"
methods were costing the
state more money than neces
sary for certain sub-contracts
at institution building pro
jects. 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.

Marshall Suffers
Another Stroke
' Ft. 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.

Prime Minister Macmillan
after his visit to Russia.

Vanity of Skiers
Deflated by Experts
In Injury Studies
I sir ". 1
I few
By DELOS SMITH
. 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.
