URSDAY, MAY 19, 1960 NIGHT EDITOR: FAITH WEINSTEIN Economic Conference Succeeds Against Great Odds' WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Ike's Peace Building Collapses By DREW PEARSON [HE INITIATORS of the International De- velopment Conference should be congratu- ated -for their imagination. They worked gainst odds which very few at this University vercome in order to bring scholars and am- assadors concerned with economic develop- vent to this campus. Originally, it was Prof. Samuel Hayes' idea o set up -the conference, Prof. Hayes worked rith Truman's Point Four program when it ras begun and has continued interest and vork in the field. Apparently, he went to arious departments asking that they back the >roject, and received no encouragement. He turned to the Lecture Committee, whose lace it is to bring distinguished speakers and urrent topics to campus. Bound up as it was rith its "Platform Attraction" series- which rought features such as. Julien Bryan present- ng his latest dramatic movie -- the Lecture. vommittee did not see fit to take an Inter- ational Development Conference under its ring. KellnedyS Po AS THE Democratic national convention looms ever closer the internal struggle for he party's Presidential nomination is growing otter. White House contenders are turning niore rhetorical fire on each other these days han on the opposition party's administration nd its probable Novmeber candidate. Senator John Kennedy has probably been aught in more political cross-fires than any ther hopeful, but quietly abstained from di- ectly. replying to personal thrusts - until, bortly before the spectacular West Virginia rimary.# Evidently losing patience with the constant atter of foe Humphrey, the Massachusetts enator's smoldering temper ignited one night- i deliberate tones, he flatly proclaimed Hum- hrey's inability to even approach the White [ouse. And when the votes rolled in, Hum. hrey had to admit that Kennedy was right. nd so Humphrey's Presidential hopes flickered nd went out and he returned to Minnesota o concentrate on salvaging another senatorial FORTUNATELY, the idea caught the atten- tion of University Relations Director Lyle Nelson, and he and literary college Dean Roger Heyns encouraged Prof. Hayes to go ahead. They dredged up from "somewhere" the few thousand dollars necessary to back the project; they thought this was the sort of thing a University should try to do. Crowds overflowed the luncheon rooms where ambassadors from countries receiving economic' aid were speaking at the conference. It is reported three to four hundred persons heard- the evening speeches, and the round-tables were well attended. Besides the featured guests, many people came to the conference from outside the University's immediate vi- cinity. go new development in economic develop- ment may have come about as a result of the conference, nevertheless it is heartening to see there are a few interested enough to see a Uni- versity do what a University should do. -NAN MARKEL itical Pa riles NOW, after smothering Senator Wayne Morse in Tuesday's Maryland contest, the ruddy New Englander again opened fire on the im- mediate opponent. Winding up vote-pulling sessions yesterday in Oregon (Morse's home state) he cooly told prospective constituents not to waste their votes on a never-will-be, even if he is a favorite son. So far, Kennedy's fiery outbursts have not hurt him any. There's no way of telling how much they've helped, but two minor lights have been effectively extinguished as the senator's popular support spreads. But the blazing climax to the party battle is yet to come. The smoky 'caucus rooms of Los: Angeles are going to determine much more than any primary. Here Kennedy will come face to face with the real opposition-Senators Johnson and Symington-and public personal parries will probably only sputter slightly be- fore the nomination is decided. After that, whoever comes out of the politi- cal bonfire unsinged can go back to levying blasts at the external competition. --KATHLEEN MOORE THE SPANIARDS have a word for this contagious charm: sym- patico. Ike had it and used it' ef- fectively to win friends for the United States all over the world. Recently he confided to GOP lead- ers that he planned two more trips abroad following the planned, now canceled, trip through Russia be- fore his term ended. He loved this type of international salesmanship and wanted to devote the rest of his months as President to it. However, big dreams are some- times upset by small details. And bad administration shows also that no man can serve as President of the United States on a part-time basis. * * * FOR SEVEN YEARS extremely efficient Press Secretary Jim Hag- erty plus a sympathetic American press have been glossing over the fact that President Eisenhower doesn't know what is going on in a large part of his administration and that it is impossible for any man to be an effective President yet spend several days every week away relaxing at golf and almost every evening relaxing over a bridge table. Franklin Roosevelt spent almost every night until 1 a.m. in private study. Truman knew the intimate details of government as few others in his administration. On the eve of such an important conference as the summit here, with great hopes for permanent peace at stake, they would have required that all flights over the Soviet Union be cleared with the White House. But the looseness of the Eisenhower administration permitted the left hand to do what the right hand knew not. * * * THE TRAGEDY of this great anticlimax to President Eisenhow- er's fine work for peace is that we have been posing as moral leaders of the world and as custodian of honesty and righteousness. We have caught many Soviet spies, but catching spies doesn't absolve us from getting caught spying. And once we were caught, all the Madison Avenue techniques which had been so effective in sell- ing Eisenhower in election cam- paigns seemed to evaporate. We have let the Russians out- propagandize us at every turn. Even here in Paris the Russians got the first headlines Monday by issuing their ultimatum before Hagerty, supposedly trained in the best newspaper and Madison Ave- nue techniques, could get his state- ment to the Americanpress.s (iCopyright 1960, by the Bell Syndicate) EM. mi PRESIDENT EISENHOWER . peacemaking dreams crumble P ARIS - It is apparent that a lot more than a former Air Force officer and some photos of Soviet airplanes came down with that U-2 plane May 1 flying 1,300 miles inside Russian borders. With it came down Ike's great- est ambition and, more important, mankind's hopes for better under- standing and eventual world peace. Also gone aglimmering may be the Republican chances of elect- ing a President in November. Eisenhower's greatest ambition after 40 years as a. military man was to go down in history as a builder of peace. THIS BECAME more and more apparent to those who talked to the President weekly at his legisla- tive conferences in Washington and to Republican party leaders. One of them confided shortly be- fore the summit conference here that it was difficult to get the President to concentrate on do- mestic problems any more. When the subjects of water pol- lution, education and taxes were raised in conferences Ike would listen impatiently and then change the subject to foreign aid or inter- national problems. When Thruston Morton, Re- publican national chairman, tried to persuade Eisenhower to take Vice-President Richard Nixon to the summit, he urged that Nixon go from its start to the finish. Ike flatly refused, finally com- promised that Nixon come as a standby, all of which caused the frank GOP chairman to exclaim to friends: "This guy doesn't seem to know that we've got to win ari election. All he's interested in is peace!" * * ALL THIS of course has now gone glimmering - both political hopes and personal peace hopes- gone with the flight of pilot Fran- cis Gary Powers over Russia. Regardless of the considerable fumbling of the Eisenhower ad- ministration there are two great things Ike has had as a salesman for peace. One is his background as a mili- tary man which made it possible for him to sell better relations with Russia to the isolationists and the GOP doubters as could few other American leaders. Second, Ike has had the smile, the personality, the gestures that won millions of people to his sup- port. AT HILL AUDITORIUM: Symphony Orchestra Concert Excellent THE UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA with five featured, soloists and four conductors gave an excellent, interesting performance in Hill Aud- itorium last night. William Booth, pianist, opened the program as soloist in the. first movement of Brahms' "First Piano Concerto" with Robert Hause conducting. Mr. Booth gave a nicely thought out performance, playing with power and brilliance. Hause conducted the warm sounding orch- estra with precision. The first movement of Mozart's "Second Concerto for Flute" was beautifully played by Martha Rearick and the orchestra,. The soloist has an excellent technique, beauti- ful tone, and wonderful musical- ity. Douglas Isaacson led the per- formance extremely well, main- taining good balance between the soloist and the orchestra. * * * THE "CONCERTO for Trumpet and String Orchestra" by the contemporary Danish composer, Knudage Riisager, opened the sec- and half of the program. The solo- ist was Gary Stollsteimer. After some initial difficulty, Mr. Stoll- steimer played the work with fine phrasing in the second movement and brilliance in the 'third. Rob- ert Hause again conducted with a firm hand, bringing out the at- tractive qualities of the pleasant, work. Charles Walton, tenor, was the only vocalist on the program. He performed the wonderful aria, "l mio Tesoro," from Mozart's "Don Giovanni." Mr. Walton's clear, at- tractive voice is well suited to this music. His articulation of the florid lines was clear and his dic- tion excellent. Roberta Wolff con- ducted well, although in one or two places she allowed the orches- tra to play too loudly, * * * THE CONCERT ENDED with, a performance of the first move- ment of Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A minor" with Karen Taylor as soloist. Miss Taylor is an ex- cellent pianist. Her playing was clean, lovely, and much more powerful than one might have ex- pected from such a lovely young lady. Miss Taylor phrased beauti- fully and brought freshness to this much-played work. Thomas Kirsh- baum conducted, bringing forth a professional performance from the orchestra. Throughout the program, the orchestra played splendidly. It frequently took on a professional quality. The strings have attained a wonderful ensemble and in per- formances such as this, they can well be proud of themselves. -Robert Jobe NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV--Storming out of the initial summit ses- sion Monday, the Soviet premier ruined the top-level talks and brought cold-war tension back to the world.

The people of the state no longer care to shift the blame from this fac- tion to that. They are now solely interested in electing the candi- dates who will solve the problem with no further fuss. In view of the one desire to make Michigan financially sound again, the campaign will be de- cided largely on the overall pro- gram which the two parties pre- sent and not any specific issues. However, the issues themselves go into making up the total picture, and thus it is important to look at them in the light of thegeneral philosophy of each party. The people of Michigan vote by party. This has been shown in recent election results, where all counties have gone completely for one party or the other. The 'tic- ket-splitter' apparently does not exist on a state level. Therefore,. the campaign must be decided on general political philosophy and on individual candidates. * * * THE OVERALL picture puts the Republicans in a good posi- tion, for the issues are in their favor, as Lawrence Lindemer, state Republican chairman, has said recently. The fiscal problem will be most LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Protests Arab Advice on Aid To the Editor: I WAS 'interested to learn from a recent letter that two gentle- men, Mssrs. Hayara and Manna, speaking for Arabs, are "most anxious to maintain friendly re- lations with the United States when we receive proper encour- agement." By "encouragement," they mean the "encouragement" of Dictator Nasser's violation of the principles of freedom of navi- gation and economic cooperation. "Nasser, in clear violation of the Suez Canal Convention of 1888 and of the 1951 decision of the United Nations Security Council, has repudiated these principles," as stated by Senator Douglas. The Arabs ask the United States to be "neutral" in the Arab-Israel conflict. They seem to believe that the United States will remain' "neutral" on when she, too, re- pudiates the above - mentioned - principles, as she has, in effect, been doing, and supports interna- tional piracy and blockade, even when American ships are dis- criminated against. By supporting international law, the United States, according to the Arabs, will be taking sides with Israel. THE TWO ARAB gentlemen seem to agree that the' Arabs are in violation of United Nations resolution and would be "more than happy to comply" with those resolutions concerning free pass- age of Israeli ships through the Secretary-General for a realistic solution of the Arab refugee prob- lem, which was squelched by the Arab states. In any case, I fail to see what resolutions involving Israel have to do with freedom of the seas and the right of the United States to send surplus food to underde- veloped countries, in this case the UAR, in whatever ship she chooses. The Arabs, of course, want the agricultural surpluses, but are angered when the Senate objects to our letting the Arabs tell the American people how we may ship our economic aid. -David Whinston,1'61 Satisfaction. To .the Editor: IN TUESDAY'S Daily, an edi- torial exhorted Negro students to further the cause of integration by increased participation in ex- tracurricular activities. - Lora Krapohl, the writer of the article, stated that "the goal of participation in activities is and should remain service to the com- munity." By engaging more fully in this "service," she suggested, Negroes would' demonstrate their willingness to accept the respon- sibilities concomitant with full ac- ceptance in the society. In point of fact, very few stu- dent activities purport to serve the community. The Ski Club, the Sailing Club, the Folklore Society. student activities prevents "a true estimate of the relationship be- tween the white and Negro stu- dents on campus." Actually, such an estimate is only prevented by the near absence of Negroes on campus altogether., -Michael Pollack, '63 Bigotry To the Editor. IT HAS HAPPENED again. The issue of religion was brought up in the West Virginia primary, and as was to be expected, an indignant article appeared in The Daily de-. nouncing the injection of religion into the campaign by "a few irresponsible bigots." This article, written by Michael Burns, is in fact itself bigoted in the sense that it groups all who would even question a candidate's faith into one derogatory class. Granted, some people oppose the candidacy of Senator Kennedy solely on the basis of his Ca- tholicism, but it is unfair to clas- sify these people with those who seriously question the ability to serve of a Catholic President, and on strictly rational grounds. SENATOR KENNEDY says that he "will be an American Presi- dent, not a Catholic President." But will he? Would he be able to resist the pressures which would be brought to bear on him? The Catholic Church is noted for put- ting pressure on Catholic adminis- tra nr to rv . rnt,,~ it, ~nl important. The Republicans favor a boost in the sales tax, while the Democrats lean toward a persnal - and business income tax, which would effect only .a minority of the population.. However, the dif- ference comes in the fact that the GOP is willing to let the people decide which they want, with the .Democrats opposing a referendum. Organized labor is responsible for this situation. They have openly opposed the sales tax, on the ground it would put an extra burden on the working man, while the income tax would hit those who were "better off and can afford it." It is not a question of who can afford it, but more of whose responsibility it is. SECOND, the Republicans favor a program to create 10,000 more jobs in Michigan every year, by making the business climate more acceptable to industry. Such a program might include business tax relief to attract more industry to the state rather than drive" it away, easing of the pres- ent power of organized labor to allow a little leeway to manage- ment in the field of labor rela- tions, and an overhaul of the whole system 6f unemployment compensation to make it a little more palatable to industry. This, if handled constructively, could and should make Michigan more favorable to new industry, thus creating more jobs. The Democrats have no such program.. THIRD, the Republicans favor constitutional reform as a major step toward economy in govern- ment. The GOP State Central Committee has officially supported the con-con measure, while the Democrats recently refused to consider the motion, claiming all the time that our constitution is "rusty," musty, dusty." This is a bit of a paradox to say the least. What is the problem here? Basically, the Democrats want the state reapportioned so that the more heavily populated areas are more heavily represented in Lans- ing. The Republicans believe in the present system, whereby one house represents the majority and one the minority. This is being done in 48 other states and in the captal at. Washington, which indi- cates a belief that minority does indeed deserve a voice. * * * THESE ARE the kinds of issues OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Offcia l Bulletinis a official publication of" The Unvr- sity of Michigan for which The Michigan Daily assumes no edi- torial resp6nsibility.
