What will he see? ''. What should he be allowed to aee?' 1 What conclusions will he draw from what he DOES see? ' There is the steel strike, for ex ample which has practically closed down America's huge steel industry, which is fundamental to America's defense. It can't help occurring to him that a strike of such magnitude is a sign of weak ness. It will probably occur to his crafty mind that if he could COM JU1TM17E utMinh Lau nannla hiiro he could call a strike at the exact moment when he was ready to ATTACK us. ' But . If we're to gain anything out of bis visit, we mustn't tell him what he CAN see and what he CAN'T. That would ffive him the imnres- sion that we are weak and know it "and don't want him to see how weak we are. That would spoil the whole thing. So '" Let's let him see us AS WE ARE. 'Let's let him know we think we're good enough to be seen by ANYBODY, friend or enemy. ."; A final thought suggested by the Statesman's discriminating and understanding comment: I wish Mr. K could have seen the city of Roseburg in its hour of travail and tragedy.

Secretary of State Christian A. Herter told a plenary session of the Inter-American Foreign Min istors Conference that this com mittee would report to the 11th conference in Quito next Febru ary. . ' . , It would look into the causes of the tension that has spread throughout the area since Fidel Castro's forces took over Cuba Jan. 1. "This committee might also be authorized to extend its coopera tion to any of the states of that region in the solution of the prob lems that disturb their peaceful relations and which they are not able to resolve through direct ne gotiation," Herter said. He called for a permanent or gan of the Organization of Ameri can States such as the inter-American peace committee to consider problems of that sort that have plagued the Caribbean region be fore they reach the point of be coming threats to peace.

J to keep the super highway program going. ihe extra levy would remain in effect for 22 months. The committee voted also to di vert to the highway fund some of the taxes now collected on auto mobiles and automobile parts. lhe gas tax increase is less than the l'j cents asked by Pres ident Eisenhower, but is estimat ed to be enough to maintain the rate of . highway construction at close to its present level for the next three years. The committee action broke a long deadlock over sources of rev enue to keep construction moving on the 41,000-mile network. Although the committee on pre vious occasions had repeatedly turned down further increases in the gasoline tax, it reversed itself today and voted 16-9 to boost the cent motor fuel tax to 4 cents. The 4-ccnt tax would remain in effect until June 30, 1961. Thereafter, - additional funds would be o b t a i n e d for the next three years by diverting from the general fund of the treasury one-half of the revenue from the 10 per cent automobile manufacturers' excise and two thirds of the 8 per cent excise on automobile parts and acces sories. :. It . was estimated that the extra highway money would allow ap portionment to the state of $1, ,000,000 this year for construc tion, in fiscal 1961 starting next July 1, and 2 billion in fiscal 1962. The highway fund has been ex hausted by a speed-up voted by Congress last year as an anti-re cession measure. At that time the pay-as-you-go feature of the law was temporarily suspended. But with that section of the law back in force officials have said that without new money they can make no allotments to the states this .year. Numerous, states have already suspended contracting. TOKYO (AP)-A Tokyo plastic surgeon said today he gave a bust enlarging plastic injection to Akiko Kojima before she won the Miss Japan and Miss Universe contests.

He confirmed a Tokyo news paper report that Miss Kojima, Tokyo fashion model had liquid plastic injected into her bosom at Matsui's hospital. A spokesman for the newspa per Sankei Shimbun, sponsor of the Miss Japan contest, said the report is unfounded. "We have seen her for the past four years, and there was no need for her to get bust surgery of any kind,1 he said. "We are still studying the report.

The committee defeated 9-4 an other Bush motion to knock out a 50-million-dollar program of direct loans for housing for the elderly.
