( That suggests a subject of the
utmost importance Mr. K's im
pending visit to the United States.
; . 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

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. The quick and
effective cooperation in the face
of stark catastrophe. The forgetful
ness of self. The city policeman
who stood fast and died fighting
the creeping line of flame that
"might have got away and made a
holocaust of the already explosion'
.shattered city. The people who
dashed into the vortex of destruc
tion, to do what they could to
thelp, instead of running the other
.way to save their own lives.
If Mr. K who is RUSSIA
eould have seen all that with his
jwn eves he couldn't have escaped
the conclusion that these Ameri

German Ship
Collide In Fog
AARIIUS, Denmark UPI A'
German coastal vessel collided to
day with a Soviet destroyer which
apparently was shadowing a large
scale NATO navy maneuver, al
lied naval sources said.
The collision in dense fog off
the West German port of Kiel was
first reported in an anigmatic
SOS from the 233-ton, German
motor vessel Christel which said
it had hit "a Soviet warship" 30
miles east of Kiel.
The Christel was holed but did
.not sink. The Russian destroyer
was seen heading north with two1
other warships, apparently un
damaged. It made no effort to aid
the Christel but two German tugs
quickly reached the stricken vessel.
Allied naval sources here said
it was believed the Soviet war
ship was one of three Russian
destroyers which "as usual" had
been showing "keen interest" in
naval maneuver involving about
60 NATO warships. Kiel is the:
West German port leading to the
Baltic.
A Danish naval command
spokesman said it was known that
three Soviet destroyers were in
the area of the Baltic Sea where
the collision took place.
British Vice Adm. Sir Arthur
Pedder, commander in chief of
allied naval forces in Northern
Europe, has established his head

The arena has a seating capacity

Because of the dispute, ticket

Of Butler's statement that he
wants the dispute settled by Mon

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - The
United States today proposed set
ting up a special peace committee
to study the Caribbean crisis.
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.
Seven Latin , American govern
ments at the conference already
have declared" they oppose inter
ference by -Castro and his Cuban
revolutionaries in the affairs of
other Caribbean nations. ,
Mexico's Manuel Tcllo was ap
plauded when he warned the min
isters to be extraordinarily cau
tious". about, changing the princi
ple of nonintervention.
Tello emphasized that Mexico is
a traditional supporter of nonin
tervention and he stressed the im
portance of the countries in the
Western - Hemisphere maintaining
the principle strictly as well as
giving, it lip service.

WASHINGTON (AP) The
House Ways and Means Commit-
today voted a one-cent in.
case in the federal gaso
line tax effective Sept. 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.
"Miss Kojima is just one of
many such Japanese beauties who
received plastic surgeon's treat
ments. A number of famous Jap
anese actresses also received sim
ilar operations," Dr. Toshizo Mat-
sui said in an interview.
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 doctor said the 24-year-old
beauty came to his clinic a short
time before the Miss Japan con
test in June. He said he didn
measure her bust, but when she
won the Universe title in Long
Beach, Calif., last month her
statistics were 37-23-38.
Miss Kojima is due here Friday.
The newspaper Sports Nippon
reported: "The operation is sim
ple but painful. A coffee cupful
of liquid plastic Is Injected into
the bosom. In order not to injure
the bosom, the Injection is done
by one shot. The operation takes
only one hour with local anesthe
tics. When the anesthetic wears
off, the part aches."
room facilities.
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.
The one concession made was
to put the classroom program,
which is a new type of activity
not hitherto entered into by the
government, on an appropriation
basis. ,- i
As it was approved previously,
this program was to use backdoor
financing to which Eisenhower ob
jeets strenuously.
