Bramlett, Turning Point In Cold War Seen During 1961 ; Py K. C. THALER LONDON (UPD-Western Eu tope looks to 1961 a a new turn ing point in the 13-ycar-old Cold War. ' Western diplomacy hopes for a fresh round of East-West talks at another summit that could determine the chance of peace In our time." Disillusioned by the severe set back in the Cold War in 1980, fcu ropean nations approach the com ing 12 months with some irepiaa tion. DiDlomalic expectations arc that at best a new summit could ..nHnin ultra tonv ........ . n a push to the deadlocked global disarmament negotiations. Its failure or a fiasco such as the Paris summit last May on the other hand, would threaten serious trouble for everyone, not only in the West but for Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev per sonally, as well. The Soviet .leader has slaked his reputation on peaceful co existence with the West; failure .might spell his downfall. Looking back, Europe under went a severe political crisis in ' 1960 which was climaxed in tho breakdown of the summit in Paris ' following the clash between Khrushchev and President Elsen bower over the V I incident. The summit collapse brought to an end protracted Allied efforts to bring Russia and the United States to the conference table. But contrary to expectations. Moscow, after initial threatening gestures, let It be known that it still wanted a. relaxation of East- West tension Soviet version, though. , Hie year witnessed the virtual - end of European rule and con' ' trol in Africa after the loss of Franco-British influence in the strategic Middle East, However, Russia's efforts to capture the eclipsing Western po sition in the African continent met with only moderate success. Khrushchev's table-pounding at the United Nations General As sembly apparently failed to im press the new nations emerging from the tutelage of the Euro pean powers. At the threshold of 1961 Euro pean diplomacy turned expectant ly to the United States for vigor' ous leadership in the next, vital moves on the international scene It looked above all to President elect John F. Kennedy for that lead in two major fields: The fu lure relationship with Russia and the Communist bloc on one hand and the Atlantic Alliance on the other. Major moves are in prepare lion for a reorganization of the NATO alignment which would broaden its political and econom ic responsibilities and strengthen its military shield by equipping it with nuclear weapons under its own control. In (he international field, Eu ropean nations expect America's firm hut constructive lead at the projected summit when Kennedy would meet Khrushchev for the first time at the conference table. Some predictions have, in pre mature anticipation of the event, likened it in importance to the historic war-time meeting of President Roosevelt and Josef Stalin. At the same time Europe looks with marked uneasiness on America's growing economic problems. It fears lest America's dollar crisis should hit back at Europe by reducing American aid and narrowing European markets in the U.S. and elsewhere. western Europe nas enjoyed a prolonged and almost unprece denied boom, with full employ ment and rising exports. The shadows of a recession have be' gun to form for the first time in years to mar the picture of un interrupted prosperity. The prospect for 1961 is uncer tain, and Europeans are keeping their eyes uneasily focused on the United Stales for clues to their economic and political fu tures.

Must Ship Fresh Water To Base At Guantanamo WASHINGTON (AP) - Ocean going tanker will rush fresh wa ter by the millions of gallons to Guantanamo Naval Base in the event the Cuban government shuts off the outside water supply. The U.S. Navy, long alert for such possible harassing moves by Prime Minister Fidel Castro, is confident tankers could haul enough water to meet the needs of the 7,985 Americans, depend ents and Cuban workers on the base. All fresh water at Guantanamo now comes by pipeline from the Yateras River about four miles away. A pumping station outside the base is vital to the flow. Castro lieutenants frequently have hinted they could crack down anytime they wanted on the Guantanamo water supply as part of a move to force the United States to pull out. The Navy has developed elaborate plans for meeting any water crisis. Ten million gallons of water are stored in tanks at Guantanamo as a re serve, with rationing this would last about three weeks. Within 24 hours, tankers nor mally used to haul oil could be cleaned and start hauling water from the Dominican Republic, Haiti, or nearby islands. The larg er tankers can carry about si million gallons. The base normally uses 250,000 to 500,000 gallons of water daily, and the Navy has. estimated it would cost $2,900 a day to move water of that amount. SAI.EM (AP)' - The Oregon Board of Control Thursday di rected state hospital superinten dents to draft a plan for providing better security for patients who; are sent to the hospitals by the courts for observation.

Two such patients Chester Wayne Hedriek.. 25, and Vernon Wesley Street, 41 escaped Dec. 26 from the receiving ward of the state hospital here. Hedriek ad mitted a series of rapes and other sex crimes, police said. The new plan would apply to the Eastern Oregon State Hospital at Pendleton, Dammasch State Hospital at. Wilsonville, as well as the Oregon State Hospital. Until the new plan is put into operation, all such court-committed patients at the state hospital here will be placed in the maxi mum security ward.

Hedriek is a sex criminal, while Street is under a burglary indict ment. Both are still at large. Gov. Mark O. Hatfield, chair man of the board, got agreement from other board members that steps should be taken to reduce (he number of persons sent to the hospitals for observation.
