US. Mas Stronger ADDSes To Face
Stronger Enemy Than 10 Years Ago
Washington - (UPD - The Uni
ted States closed out a decade
of diplomacy facing a more
powerful potential enemy
than 10 years ago but with
significantly stronger allies at
its side.
The role of the United
States itself as leader of the
Free World changed little.
But the 10 years found this
country no longer the sole
possessor of meaningful mili
tary, economic and political
power in the West,
They also have found the
power and prestige of the
Soviet Union greatly enhanc
ed relative to the United
States. And the Soviet's Asian
ally, the government of Red
China, has consolidated its
grip, trying with varying de
grees of success to extend its
influence in the Far East.
The U.S.-Soviet relationship
has changed radically in 10
years not so much because
of any change in American
policy but because of Soviet
tactics altered after the death
of Premier Joseph Stalin in
1953.
Rely on Capacity
American policy for count
ering the Soviet threat has
been to continue to rely on its
nuclear striking capacity to
destroy the Soviet Union if
Russia attacks the West.
But the Soviets have chang
ed their policy, and the change
recalls the Aesop fable about
the argument between the
wind and the sun over which
could get the man to take off
his coat.
The more the wind tried to
blow it off, the tighter the
nian clutched it around him.
But the warm rays of the sun
soon had him shedding the
cloak of his own accord.
Stalin's cold war led to
Western formation of the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization in Europe as well
as other U.S. defensive al
liances, the re-arming of West
Germany and the develop
ment of military forces
throughout the world -toHstemKning -to". accept capital in-
Communist aggression.
Premier Nikita Khrushchev
has dropped the cold war as a
major weapon and has con
centrated on a massive peace
crusade in an apparent effort
to get the West to drop its
guard.
Various Forms
This has taken various
forms agreement to extens
ive official, cultural and scien
tific exchanges, good - will
trips to all parts of the world,
willingness at least to talk
about a workable control sys
tem for policing a nuclear test
ban and a constant propa
ganda campaign for disarma
ment.
The United States has ap
peared at times to be lagging
behind the Soviet Union in
the peace propaganda field
because of its insistence on
adequate controls for any dis
armament proposal.
However, the recent emer
gence of President Eisenhow
er as a global campaigner for
peace has given the U.S.
propaganda effort a new look.
What its lasting effect will be
remains to be seen.
The decade just ending also
found the United States losing
its clear claim to world lead
ership in the field of technol
ogy. The Soviets' ability to
build a powerful rocket boost
er before the United States
gave it a jump in the race for
space and development of an
intercontinental missile that
this country has yet to over
come. The Soviets have skillfully
used this advantage to impress
the dozens of underdeveloped
nations of the world that the
Communist road to progress is
faster than the Western road.
No one knows yet how well
they will succeed in these
now democratically - oriented
nations.
The Soviet threat is eco
nomic as well as military and
political. Not only is the Rus
sian economy growing at a
faster rate than this country's,
but the U.S.S.R. is able to of
fer assistance to many nations
The United States, fearful
of the political subversion
that has followed such Soviet
efforts in many places, has
felt that it must continue its
own programs in all parts of
the world and not let Russia
win by default.
Thanks in great part to mas
sive post-war U.S. economic
aid, this country has econo
mically and militarily strong
Allies in Western Europe.
But this increased strength
has brought increased inde
pendence from Washington in
these countries. The U.S. is
still the Western leader. But

MEDFORD

The new rise of Charles de
Gaulle as the savior of French
democracy and his close work
ing alliance with West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Ad
enauer in the past year has
given Western Europe a new
anchor. The recent economic
and political ties on the con
tinent have forced the United
States to re-evaluate its re
lationship with the entire
area.
This country wants increas
ingly prosperous Western
Europe to take over more of
the burden of providing free
world economic and military
strength. But it realizes that
this will involve agreeing to
more and more of Western
Europe's view on how this
strength shall be used.
There is, however, probably
as much real unity now
among the Western Allies as
there was 10 years ago. This
is unity forged through such
trials as the Korean War, the
birth pangs of NATO and the
recognition that the nations of
the Free World must stay to
gether or fall separately.
The alliance has withstood
such problems as the 1956
Suez crisis when England and
France joined Israel in an
abortive attempt to take over
the canal that had just been
nationalized by Egyptian Pre
mier Gamal Abdul Nasser.
The United States and the
Soviet Union found them
selves on the same side in the
successful United Nations
drive to end the fighting and
return captured territory to
Egypt.
The dawn of a new decade
finds the United States and
the West still challenging the
Soviet Union to prove its
peace talk with deeds. To the
West, this means agreeing on
adequate inspection and con
trols over a nuclear test ban
and disarmament moves.
Court Reverses
Arrest Judgment
Salem - (UPD - The State Su
preme Court has reversed a
$5,250 judgment recovered
against a service station oper
ator in Pendleton on an action
of false arrest.
Due to mistaken identity,
the court said, James Glenn
Aiken was arrested on a
charge of passing a forged
check.
When Aiken appeared to
answer the charge the person
who cashed the check failed
to identify him and he was
then released. A suit follow
ed against Shell company and !
O. L. Huey, charging negli
gence. The court said the case con
cerned only charges against a
layman who asked for a war
rant of arrest against "one
James Aiken for whom he un
questionably cashed a forged
check." The court said the
operator had no other duty
other than to place the facts
before a magistrate and to
verify them under oath.
It said the defendant was
"under no duty to hunt up and
inspect a photograph of the
plaintiff or to make compari
sons with his handwriting or
to do anything with respect
to any of the matters the
plaintiff .claims to be negligent."
Youth Arraigned for
Negligent Homicide
Pendleton (UPD Wallace
Stanley Horsman, 20, has been
arraigned in Circuit Court on
a grand jury indictment
charging negligent homicide
in connection with a traffic
death. Bail was set at $1,000.
The charge grew out of the
death last Sunday of Bobby
Jones, 16, near Pilot Rock. He
was killed when Horsman's
car failed to negotiate a curve.
