This article is the first in a series on these discussions. By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN Special To The Daily NEW YORK-America's Soviet policy was assailed by two experts on world Communism during the seventh annual College Editors' Conference this weekend. fluenced by the Communists, Lyons claimed. "Nor is the much publicized Sino-Soviet split a reason for be- lieving that the Soviet Union will try to ally itself with the West, according to Lyons. He noted that many people for- get about the similar moral stand- ard of the two Communist govern- ments and other factors which unite the USSR and China with more strength than the forces which divide them.' Jan Liebrach, historian and author, disputed Lyons' analysis. in the London Times which ar nounced a new $4 million trade agreement between Britain atd the Soviet Union. Liebrach disagreed with L.yoli and Lasky. He believes that "we should help countries break Saway from Russia." Since the Cold War is a political war "in which we have to apply political tactics," trade or any other tactic that will embarrass the Russians by point- ing out their deficiencies should be used. Lyons concluded that "we mtust let Communism wear itself out," and charged, "the free world has ceased to fight Communism." scaid the pavkv wanos? 11%j w h-fcwVi Johnson are all tentative in na- ture, and that the President hasl not yet started drafting a special message to Congress on the sub- ject.

Well . . yes, and no. Procter & Gamble is a remarkably stable company, and technical employment just doesn't fluctuate. P&G engineers don't worry about shutdowns or layoffs. And P&G puts more than a little emphasis on the creative aspects of engineering-the solving of problems by men encouraged to use their own initiative to "find a different wav." P&G takes snecial care of nts lewenineers tnn a project in the area that interests him most. Projects of considerable responsibility are assigned each in- dividual early in his career, and, .ssisted by planned per- sonal coaching at first, it is rot unusual for an engineer after six months to be responsible for the design and de- velopment of equipment in the million dollar range. This strong beginning leads to advancement in 4 relatively short time, and our engineers tell us it is invaluable. It is invaluable to the Comoanv.o nn. and mnstneea II
