Newspaper Page Text4 E SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 196J MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Cold Wear Course Is Altered By STEWART HENSLEY United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) One year aeo this week end Soviet Premier Nikila Khrushchev peered into the depths of the in ferno as Secretary ot State Dean Rusk called it and drew back in alarm. He had stood at the brink of a nuclear war which President Kennedy was ready to fight be cause Khrushchev had clandcs tinely armed Fidel Castro's Cu ba wilh lone-range nuclear mis. siles ready to be launched at the heart of America from secretly built bases. What Khrushchev saw won from him a swift agreement to withdraw his missiles and dis mantle his bases. In return he got from the President a pledge that Cuba would not be in vaded a pledge that had been given many times Betorc The agreement was reached In an exchange of messages Be tween the Kremlin and the White House during the night of Oct. 27 and the early morning hours of Oct. 28. Week Of Agony Thus ended the most agoni 7ing week since World War II. Mankind had trembled in the half - world between war and peace while awaiting Khrush chev's response to the ring of steel the President had drawn around Cuba. Kennedy also had made it clear that the U. a naval and air quarantine was only one of more and tougher steps he was prepared to take, One year later officials here and in other Allied capitals are convinced the Soviet backdown marked a turning point in the East-West struggle which may prove to have permanent ct fccls. It is still loo early to pin point Khrushchev's gamble to achieve "nuclear parity" by es tablishing missile bases just 90 miles off the U. S. coast as the high tide of Soviet penetra tion of the Western Hemisphere. It is clear, however, that it drastically altered the course of the cold war in the year im mediately following the confron tation in which the Russian leader, not the President, back ed away.

(UPI) garded as minor Russian probes to test Allied unity rather than indications the Kremlin plans to heat up a major new crisis. On other issues, too, such as the limited nuclear test ban treaty, the Soviet leader has shown an inclination to avoid rocking the boat while working to catch up on missile strength, salve some of his nagging eco nomic problems, and fight his ideological feud with Red China. Allied officials generally agree wilh the U. S. assessment of the missile backdown as a major turning point in the long, grim struggle with communism. United Press International correspondents in London, Par is, Rome. Madrid, Bonn and Tokyo, sounding out officials one year after the Cuban crisis, found nearly all of them con vinced that Mr. Kennedy's firm stand had far-reaching effect. UPI's chief diplomatic corres pondent in Europe, Karl Thaler, said British reaction was that his tough stand had forced a change in Soviet strategy be cause it showed the United States could not be pushed around when the chips were down. "Kennedy's policy at the time of the crisis may be responsible for a turn in the cold war which has, on the face of de velopments within the past few months, shown a marked eas ing of East West relations,' Thaler wrote after canvassing British officials and diplomatic observers. "It has also, directly or in directly, caused a hardening on both sides in the Moscow-Pek ing dispute. Red China has ex ploited Khrushchev's step-down on the Cuba issue for some of its sharpest attacks on the Kremlin's so-called sellout to the imperialists. Administers Blow "Furthermore, the Kennedy strategy On British opinion) ad ministered one of the severest blows to Russian prestige and to Khrushchev personally . observers here ascribe the change of Khurshchev strategy to his realization that the United States means business and will not be pushed around, that un less he is careful he might trig ger the nuclear war he dreads.' The President's unyielding stand on Cuba is widely assess ed as having convinced Khrush chev that the U.S. pledge to fight if necessary to stay in Ber lin was not an empty one. From Bonn, UPI's chief cor respondent in Germany, Well ington Long, reports that Ger man officials still subscribe to fromer Chancellor Konrad Ade nauer's earlier statement that "The Cuban affair favorably in fluenced the Berlin situation to the extent that the Russians saw that Kennedy was after all pre pared, under certain circum stances, to act really serious ly." ' A Drastic Step German officials believe the Cuban crisis was a drastic test for the western world which Mr. Kennedy met well and without flinching. Italian officials, looking back over the past 12 months, told UPI reporter they believed "The Cuban confrontation may go down as a turning point in contemporary history." They said that, in retrospect,' t h e President s handling of the situ ation seems even more praise worthy now than it did then. Confrontations have been a de cisive step on the road to peace. Even in Paris, where the Charles de Gaulle government is at odds with the United States on a number of issues, Mr. Ken nedy s Cuban decision still is described by officials as the most important of the postwar era. The Ice of the Cold War Is Breaking Up' By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press International I MOSCOW (UPI) On Oct. 22 of last year, English philosop her Lord Berlrand Russell grim ly predicted: "We all may bo dead In a few days." Weapons-carrying Soviet ships were sailing on a collision course toward Cuba, threaten ing to plunge tho world into a nuclear holocaust. It was "eye ball to eyeball" in the words of U. S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Now, an eventful 12 months Medford Student En Route to Japan In College Project PORTLAND Pamela Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rod ney B. Miller, 2748 Old Stage Road, Medford, a freshman at Lewis and Clark College, is on her way to Japan for five months study and travel. Miss Miller is one of 43 stu dents who will spend the fall and winter terms In Japan Four groups of students, each group accompanied by a faculty advisor and a representative of (he Experiment in International Living, will spend the two terms in three countries. The other countries included in the pro gram are Mexico and France. The program In each country will include a study of the language of the country, aca demic studies and projects re lated to their assigned areas. Field trips, Riiest speakers, in terviews wilh local and national leaders and cultural programs will be arranged. The foreign study program is under the general direction of Dr. Clifford Hamar, who super vised the program last fall in Peru and Chile. Miss Miller will spend her home-stay of one month in tho Kyoto area. Most of her aca demic work will be done in Kyoto and Tokyo. The home visit was arranged by the Experiment In Interna tional Living. Prior lo depar ture the students participated In an eight-cloy orientation for college life and study overseas. They will return lo Lewis and Clark fn March to resume tlicir studies for spring term. later, Moscow Radio hails Presi dent Kennedy's decision to sell wheal to the Soviet Union with the comment, "The ice of the cold war is breaking up." 11 has been quite a passage of time. Desperate Efforts A year ago this month, the Kremlin and White House lights burned night-long as the Presi dent and Premier Nikita Khru shchev talked at and to each oilier by privalo code and pub lic radio broadcasts in a des perate effort lo avoid the point of no return. Today, the two statesmen most responsible for the fate nf the world have a "hot line" teletype within elbow's reach for instantaneous communica tion in any grave emergency. The President has asked for and brought about a reassess ment of American policy to wards tho Soviet Union, and Khrushchev has been placed in the paradoxical position of a Communist leader defending American integrity and good faith to his erstwhile Chinese comrades. There aro few contemporary Police Auction Set at Airport The annual Medford police auction of unclaimed articles has been scheduled for 10 a m. Friday, Nov. 1, at the police storage building at the muni cipal airport. Lt. Itollie Pean, head of the services division, said a total of 207 items will be sold to the highest bidder during the auc tion. Among items listed for sale are 14 automobiles, ranging from 1948 to 1955 models, 14 bicycles, two cameras, two golf clubs, two rolls of barbed wire, and a case of new levis in men's sizes. Lt. Pean said the police de partment does not guarantee the condition of any of the Items, nor does It warranty any title on the vehicles. He said, however, that a certificate of title to any of the vehicles may be obtained by making application to the state department of motor vehicles. All sales at the auction are for cash, and all sales must be considered final. The public is Invited to attend. Proceeds from the auction go into the city's general fund. historians on either side of the Iron Curtain who do not regard the showdown over Cuba as one of the decisive factors in the turn of the cold war. "The first sprouts of interna tional confidence" was how Khrushchev characterized the conclusion of the partial nu clear test ban last summer ns he proceeded lo remind the Chinese that after a nuclear war "the suvivors will envy the dead." rin);is;;inla Victory The Kremlin made propagan da capital in the Communist world bv claiming that what Ihe West regarded as an ill - con- ceived missile venture saved Cuba from invasion. I Khrushchev was able lo snatch a propaganda victory from the jaws of near disaster to be hailed by all Communist spokesmen other than Ihe Chinese as the savior ot world peace. Contrary to some opinion abroad, his stock among the So viet people has risen and his position in the Kremlin hier archy with it. Opposittm Overcome Whatever opposition there may have been in the party pre sidium to Khrushchev's Cuban policy, before and after the cri sis, was easily overcome, lie was able to embark on a new been long in the making, but Ihe Cuban crisis hastened what appeared to be the inevitable split of Ihe Communist block. The bitter recent exchange of Mos cow - Peking statements has made clear that the Chinese have opposed every one of Khrushchev's efforts at East West rapprochement. Prepared To Sign It has been disclosed that the Russians were prepared to sign a partial nuclear test ban more than a year ago before the eruption of the Caribbean crisis. They failed to do so only be cause they then still felt the compulsion of honoring Chinese objections. They were purged from all such constraints after the Cuban showdown when the Chinese ac cused the Russians of 'betrayal of revolutionary interests and submission to American "atom ic blackmail." It was not enough for Khrush chev to remind the Peking com rades that the American "pa per tiger" had "nuclear teeth" and proceed to the apparent delight of his East - European allies with his own policy of clelente. ! Another byproduct of the Cu ban compromise has been the rising popular hope that relaxa tion of tensions may enable the Soviet leadership to tackle do mestic problems more easily. A year ago, it might have been impossible for the Soviet Union to buy wheat in the Unit ed States to alleviate the present agricultural difficulties. Now the question of easing American trade restrictions against the Soviet Union and possible normalization of trade relations is being considered in Washington. Climate Improves As the general international climate improves there is more realistic hope that the nuclear treaty for a partial test ban will serve to further the reduction of tensions. Should the history of last Oc tober repeat itself, Khrushchev recently warned, it may not be possible to save the peace again. By that he apparently meant that he expected the United States to observe what he con siders a pledge not to invade Cuba. But his statement also re flected a determination on the Soviet side to avoid brinkman ship and never again to reach "eyeball to eyeball" danger. policy of East-West detente which led to the first major post-war agreement since the Austrian peace treaty of I'.ifiK. Pressure's on West Berlin and in other cold war areas eased considerably and the Kremlin launched its first peace offen sive since the failure of "The spirit of Camp David."

L PROGRESS AGAINST CRUELTY The power of economics and the ingenuity of textile manu- taciurers is winning progress in the long battle against the cruelties of trapping wild an imals for their furs. Manufacturers of women's garments are quoted in a recent wall street Journal as reporting that thousands of women are turning from furs to simulated turs when they buy coats, hats, purses, snoes and parkas. Some of the biggest coat makers in the country say that sales of the fur substitutes are as much as 200 per cent higher than a year ago. The simulated furs, first in troduced and boosted by the hu mane movement about 15 years ago, have been perfected so that the most famous stylists are using them and the new fabrics outwear and outperform most genuine furs. Decreased demand for many types of fur is visibly reducing trapping. Beaver, fox, musk rat and other species of an imals are beneficiaries. Tho Humane Society of the United States appeals to women especially to refrain from buy ing genuine leopard fur. The East African Wildlife Society re ports that leopards are actually threatened with extinction, chief ly because of American buying. A Fox Tale There is a behind-the-scenes family argument underway at tne wmte House, and the Presi dent has issued an ultimatum to his wife. He has told her that if the unfavorable mail oppos ing her fox-hunting across the Virginia countryside continues, she will have to give up hunt ing. The First Lady says "No." She won't give up fox-hunting, so she has taken restrictive measures to shield her hunting activities from the public eye. The First Lady has been flooded with mail from the people who Disapprove of killing foxes. The Animals' Champion, London, England.
