Tuesday, June 2, 1959 Ike Submits Vheat Agreement Washington (DPD President Eisenhower has submitted the 1959 International Wheat Agreement to the Senate for approval. The agreement was signed by representatives of the United States and 34 other na tions at the United Nations wheat conference at Geneva last March 10. The agreement, involving most of the world's major pro ducing and importing nations, sets up export and import quotas for both groups. Each nation guarantees to either ship or import a fixed quanti ty of wheat annually within a price range set out in the agreement. The new three - year agree ment becomes effective July 31 if ratified by all signatory nations. The old concept of guar anteed quantities to be im ported by each natiojgj) Has been replaced by a plan whereby importing countries agree to ' take a certain per centage of their wheat con sumption from the exporting nations. In addition, the maximum price for which the wheat can be sold has been reduced from $2.59 to $1.90 a bushel. The minimum remains at $1.50 a bushel.

High Recruilirj, CdstS 0 Hertan points out -that com pany costs in recruiting a $50,000 a year executive from outside the company may fun as much as' $25,000. He says such a recruiting job by the company may take as long as 40 weeks while a manage ment recruiter can cut this to about five full wee&s of work. In many instances corpora tions are calling in business consultants to tide over their executive problems and to provide the knowledge their present staffs may lack. Tnis facet of the Corpora tion problem is brought out by Alexander Hamilton Institute in its current business condi tions weekly.

DISOBEDIENT DEATH , New YorKtOTO-A youth drowned Sunday shortly after his father forbade him to go skin-diving.

Later in the day Manhattan Beach swimmers heard the youth's cries for help- but he drowned before tbey reached him. o Tolen (If1 Meeting Staid Be Opportunity For President (Continued from Pag lj Unless Khrushchev under stands the eternal desire of the American people to resist tyranny, his visit here would be futile. If Khrushchev con tinues to delude himself that the Kremlin can by either keeping up the cold war or threatening us in Berlin, or anywhere else, get us to weak en, then his visit should be an opportunity for the President to set him straight, face to face. , I think this Washington meeting would help to put a little more spine into some of the politically ambitious and confused men among us and our allies who compound our difficulties. I am sure that our allies should have no valid ground . for any misgivings that such a talk in Washing ton would lead to anything of any nature that was not in full conformity with our in tention never again to sepa rate from our allies. On that score of keeping at work with our allies of the free world in unity of purpose and in con cert, we are a determined and a united people.' Disapproves of Deals I strongly disapprove of any secret diplomacy or deals, but I think it is self-defeating to conduct important interna tional negotiations in a town hall or fishbowl fashion. This is a way of providing obstruc tionists and propagandists with material to tear down any constructive program even before it has a chance to be put into completed form before the people for ap proval. I, therefore, would prefer all preliminary discussions and negotiations to be con ducted behind, closed doors until important decisions and agreements have reached the point where they can be sub mitted to the world in a form to tie fully assessed, debated, and then approved or rejected as the people desire to express their will. Much is to be gained! and nothing to be lost- by closed door sessions at Geneva where we should continue to stand firm for our rights in Berlin. Not Surprised Most of us who understand the Russian technique were not surprised to see the 27th of May-the day originally set by Khrushchev as the date for our abandonment of Berlin come and go without incident because we stood firm. I hope that, some progress and some worthwhile agree ments come of the Foreign Ministers Conference at Gene va: This could be one of the useful and readily arrange able ways of negotiating with the Russians on a number of problems. I have not advocat ed a possible personal meet ing between Khrushchev and the Presidnt in Washington except for the purpose of dis abusing Khrushchev of some of his misconception about us. If out of the meetings at Geneva there should develop productive and useful result? or even a .more constructive approach to some of the prob lems and a meeting at the "summit" is warranted, I be lieve it should be held on the neutral grounds of the United Nations in New York far from the shadow cast by the massed armies of Soviet military might. Proper Place The United Nations is the proper place for major inter national discussions. I think we should use it more fre quently for important nego tiations behind closed doors. We should not limit the use of the United Natoins facili ties primarily to stage public debatea which lend them selves, unfortunately, more to propaganda than to the settle ment of immediate issues con fronting its members. I, for one, would have wisK ed that the Foreign Ministers Conference eould have been held in the United Nations headquarters here rather than at Geneva. One of the urgent reasons why I think it best that nego tiations be more frequent at the United Nations headquar ters is that important current information is available and mere easily accessible than elsewhere. I am particularly concerned about the growing emphasis of Soviet expansion ist policy in r$he economy field.' Weepan for Pinftrgzion Russia has been hoarding gold and is making a Strong bid to have the gold ruble as a weapon for economic pene tration of nations with strain ed or underdeveloped (econo mies. ...

At 'Medford High school he is active in the Science club and attended one session of Junior Engineers, Science Summer Institute, Corvallis; is a member of the bowling club and Boys' League. The Soviet now seeks to em ploy economic assistance backed by Russian gold ; to achieve economically v what she has not been able to bring about militarily. We must re gard this as a serious chal lenge and meet this threat with the same dispatch and resolution as we met the Com munist military threat. This we can do, I am sure, even more resolutely and suc cessfully. For Communist Russia, despite all her boasts of economic achievements and her gold hoard, is still in many essential respects a backward nation, as far as the standard of living of her own people is concerned. Kremlin UiconcMaad But the Kremlin has never been concerned about the liv ing standards of the Russian people and has always been ready to sacrifice them for its imperialist aims. oThe vast amount of Russian gold, mined by slave labor, can work evil where he ar mies cannot reach. We must meet this challenge every where, and we can. We must be careful nof to overload our economy. We must be coura geous in not minimizing the immense capacity of our in dustrial plant. ' And we must be wise both 'in timing and in the measure, of our assistance by allocat-J ing our contributions where they will be of the greatest benefit in keeping Russia Yfrom gobbling up defense less people. cGiiff FhcJ Ce.
