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.
The proposal calls for complete
segregation of those patients
who are sent to the hospitals after
committing crimes.
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. They will be
kept there until it is shown that
they are not security risks.
Dr. Dean K. Brooks, superin
tendent of the state hospital, said
the hospital generally has 20 to 24

Firms Opposed
To Annexation
CORVALLIS (AP) Opposition
to annexation Is being voiced by
six industries in South Corvallis,
where merger with the city is pro
posed.
The industries called on the City
Council to omit them from the
area to be annexed. They said
they did not want to come under
the restrictions and controls of the
city and felt that adjacent resi
dential property owners would
pressure the city to impose con'
trols. 1
The industries include a sand
and gravel firm, pipe manufae
luring plant, hardboard products
plant, .a lumber mill, feed and
seed mill, and a brick and tile
plant.
The industries said they felt they
would be saddled with a large
share of the bill for improvements
in the area.
The industrial property lies be
tween tie city and the residential
area seeking annexation.
