M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst INDIA'S NEHRU probably pointed more di- rectly than he realized to the outcome of the Bandung conference when he supported the peace resolution offered by the sponsoring pow- ers as something which nobody could oppose. As the conference continues it becomes in- creasingly evident that the anti-Communist group is thoroughly alert not only to prevent adoption of any positive position against the West, but also put its objections to interna- tional communism into the record. .The Communist peace offensive is never anything that anybody can oppose, any more than you can oppose kindness toward your mother, until you get around to the matter of intent. CEYLON WENT to the heart of the whole in- ternational brawl when her representative suggested that it was just as important for Russia to abolish the Cominform, free her satelites and stop trying to acquire more as it was for the Western colonial powers to extend independence to the areas they control. This is a point over which Western diplo- mats have stumbled all during the cold war. They have directed their efforts toward con- tractual relations while skirting the central fact that there will be no peace while there is enslavement. Nehru's definition of the Balkan and cen- tral European states as "free" because they hold United Nations membership is, in the first place, only partly true as a fact and, in the second place, completely untrue in prin- ciple. It is true that seats are held in the names of Poland and Czechoslovakia, just as seats are held in the names of the Ukraine and White Russia. The resord of their complete puppetry is too clear to be worth discussing. CHOU EN-LAI smothered his anger at the Ceylonese approach and said the confer- ence ought not to get into arguments about ideology. But subjugation by force is not an ideology. It is a line of conduct long since re- pudiated by the West, although the colonial powers have not yet been able to untangleball the coils they wound around themselves be- fore they realized the trouble they were get- ting into so many years ago. Chou sat back and let Nehru carry the ball for him, and the Indian Prime Minister made his effort. Zut he isn't Gandhi, and his slip is showing, and instead of enhancing his Gandhi-like pose has failed. His pro-Communist leadership in Asia, the conference has resulted in direct revolts against it. For Nehru, the con- ference is bound to be a failure. NORTH CAMPUS-A REALITY BY 1965 TODAY AND TOMORROW By WALTER LIPPMANN Disentanglement LAST MONDAY the Chinese Ambassador, Dr. Wellington Koo, delivered a long and in- teresting speech on the attitude of his govern- ment in Formosa. They will reject, indeed they will resist, any proposal which calls for their withdrawal from the off-shore islands. There was much passion in the speech. For while Dr. Koo observed the diplomatic niceties and pre- tended that he was talking about "the well- meaning pacifists of the free world" who are "the sponsors of fanciful formulas," he was quite plainly thinking about Mr. Adlai Steven- son's speech of the week before, and he was talking at, or over the head of, Mr. Dulles. THE FORMULAS, of which many have been talked about in the capital of the world and in the corridors of the UN, are all of them, I believe, variations on two basic themes. The first collection of formulas are designed to strike a balance with Peiping in which the )ff-shore islands, plus perhaps other consider- ations such as the UN seat, are to be given to Peiping in return for a cease-fire; Peiping for its part would be agreeing not to use lethal weapons to "liberate" Formosa, and would be assenting to a military co-existence with Chi- ang's regime. I think it is correct to say that this was the general idea in Washington when when the Formosa resolution was being of- fered to Congress. Dr. Koo is right, it seems to me, in calling these formulas "fanciful," and indeed in speaking of them as an attempt to appease the Communists. But it is hard to believe that Dr. Koo is really worrying about formulas which have become so unreal and so fanciful. For they have been rejected not only by his own government in Formosa, but even more em- phatically by the government in Peiping. What must really be worrying him is the second line Df negotiations, which he did not however refer to expressly. This is the attempt to nego- tiate not with the Chinese Communists but among the Allies. Here the bargain would be an Allied guarantee of Formosa in return for a disengagement from the off-shore islands.. A FORMULA of this sort might help the Pre- sident and Mr. Dulles to disentangle them- selves in Congress. But if it were a serious and candid international agreement, it would have to bea aranentee against the military con- the Generalissimo would still refuse to leave the off-shore islands. And-this is said by Implication-if the Generalissimo refuses to leave the islands, then the President's horrid predicament will remain. For the Nationalist troops are reported to be about a third of Chiang's army. As used to be said of the French troops which were locked up in Dienbienphu, they are like a goat tethered in the jungle as bait for the tiger. The Presi- dent is being cast for the role of the hunter with the big gun who has promised his friends to sacrifice the goat because he will not shoot the tiger. THE MORAL OF all this is, I submit, that it is an illusion to regard the off-shore is- lands as assets in bargaining either with the Communists or with our Allies. The truth up- on which American policy ought to be based is that the off-shore islands are liabilities. Contrary to a widespread opinion, the se- curity of Formosa is not enhanced, it is on the -contrary jeopardized, by Chiang's stand in the off-shore islands. They are related to the se- curity of Formosa only because they greatly in- crease the insecurity of Formosa. FOR IF A general war with mainland China were to break out-and if it were to be fought with atomic weapons in the Carney style-how could Formosa be defended? Sup- pose, as is more likely than not, that the Red Chinese have received from the Soviet Union, or have been promised, some nuclear weapons of their own. Only the most headstrong in their recklessness will deny that what is so pos- sible is also probable. Formosa is a most vul- nerable target to atomic bombing. Being a small island without space behind it, Formosa is infinitely more vulnerable to atomic des- truction than is mainland China with its vast; space and its vast depth and its enormous population. And what are we to suppose that Japan would do in such a war? Is it reasonable to imagine that Japan would and could permit the United States to use her territory as a base in an atomic war against the ally of the Soviet Union-which has an air force and a stockpile of nuclear weapons, and is two hours flying time from Japan? IT WOULD be well for Dr. Koo and his Ameri- n nfripandnq +o enn nrptntna t ha+ nna An Editorial00 Within a decade the present University campus may be almost unrecognizable to the graduate of 1955. Vast changes are in the offing. A multi-million dollar plant expansion on the main campus is already underway. On the rolling plains north of the Huron River the North Campus is being developed to provide a whole new cultural, educational and research center for the University. Sixty miles to the north, rapid strides plant-wise are being made at the University's new Flint Campus. Classes under University auspices are expected to open there by September, 1956. A rich endowment and Leg- islative appropriations should provide physical facilities in keeping with the University's educational standards. In dollars and cents this development will probably cost the State and University more than 90 million over the next ten years. The lion's share of this is ex- pected to come from Legislative appropriations. But the program of a great university will always need much more than the Legislature can provide. While some of the "extras" that distinguish the Univer- sity of Michigan from the rank-and-file cannot be bought, others require money. Housing, recreational and stu- dent activities facilities, special research projects and li- brary collections are among essential "extras" which must be provided by non-State support. Fortunately the University has sources from which to get these badly needed extra funds. Foundations and industry have realized the need and have been generous in their support of many significant projects. We can expect support from this direction to increase. Equally important is the role of the University's 150,000 alumni as contributors to continued develop. ment. Within the three years since the Development Council was organized, it has achieved remarkable suc- cess in making alumni aware of our needs and mobiliz- ing them into an annual giving program that should pay big dividends as enrollments and needs become much greater in the near future. The student body too has an important stake in the University's future. It can make an important contribu. tion by becoming aware of the University's needs and the part students can later play as alumni in meeting those needs. Plans for the physical development of the Univer- sity are inspiring, but they give only half the picture. Hand-in-hand with this growth we can also expect a corresponding expansion of educational and research programs. We may also expect that the University's high aca- demic standards will be maintained. The intellectual cli- mate of the University is to a very large extent deter- mined by the quality of the student body. We believe that the University is aware of the need for this quality, and that the next ten or twenty years will not witness exoansion merely for the sake of expansion. Rather. DREW PEARSON: Wilson Censors GM News EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of Drew Pearson's columns on the news censorship in Washington. WASHINGTON-Not since Jan. 11, 1954 has Secretary of De- fense Wilson issued a list of the first 100 companies getting de- fense contracts. This was a prac- tice followed regularly in the past, but the last list showed Wilson's company, General Motors, way out in front with 7.2 per cent of all contracts. Since then, the likable, persis- tent ex-General Motors head has issued no list, though urged by subordinates to do so. Instead, he has clamped an even tighter cen- sorship on his department, which spends 70 per cent of the taxpay- ers' money. This is what concerns newspaper editors, now meeting in Washington, already under attack by Harry Truman for not printing the truth about the Ike-Adminis- tration. General Motors Favored- Here is a cross-section of news which has been censored, either during or shortly before Wilson's regime: In 1953, Ford and Chrysler, for- mer producers of the Patton M-48 tank, were arbitrarily declared out of production with General Motors continuing production ... Stude- baker, an independent company, was ordered to end construction of the 2.5-ton truck . . . Chrysler and American' Locomotive were ordered to stop production on the M-47 tank. In contrast, the M-41 tank was continued at full speed at GM's Cadillac plant . . . Gen- eral Motors was ordered to take over antiaircraft gun production, cutting out American Car and Foundry ... All these orders, di- rect from the Pentagon, were cen- sored . . . The Defense Depart- ment is required by law to submit its contracts to competitive bid- ding. This is done in only 9 per cent of the contracts. The law is shockingly disobeyed, with the re- sult that big business gets the contracts. News regarding this is censored. General Motors Waste- GM's Fisher Body division was given a contract to make 757 vertical tur- ret lathes at a cost of $90,600 per lathe, though it had no experience in this field and though the Bull- ard Co., of Bridgeport, Conn., an experienced firm, charged only $38,000 . . . The contract went to General Motors on the recommen- dation of H. R. Boyer, a General Motors official loaned to the gov- ernment. His advice cost the tax- payers $68,000,000 . . . GM also got a free gift of 427 units of tool- ing machinery . . . This occurred before Charley Wilson took over Defense, and the facts were cen- sored-as are all facts which prove embarrassing or involve skulldug- gery ... The Allison Motors Divi- sion of General Motors made Sa- bre-jet engines for the Airi Force in 1950-51 at a profit of 39 per cent. They did this by charging a 10 or 12 per cent profit by one GM subsidiary, then a profit by the next GM subsidiary, then another profit by the third GM subsidiary ... While lagging far behind in Sabre-jet production, General Mo- tors executives had time to get houses and barns built for them- selves at cost by a construction company doing business for the government-Huber, Hunt and Ni- chols . . . Daniel Babcock, chief engineer for GM's Allison Division, got a $31,000 home built for $15,- 800 ... Edward B. McNeil, a GM vice-president, got an air-condi tioning system installed at cost-- $3,890.18 . . . GM official I. E. Settle got a barn built at cost .. . All these facts were censored though later dug out and publish- ed in this column Jan. 24, 1953. Brass-Hat Waste - Censoring News coincides with the views of many brass hats, though not all. Many officers welcome public scru- tiny, feel the taxpayers are en- titled to know the truth .. . Some exceptions: Brig. Gen. Emil Kiel who sent a special plane from Ecuador to Panama to get his din- ner jacket. Cost of the plane trip -$4,000 .. . Army officers who signed a contract to buy combat boots for $24.65 each whereas the Marine combat boot-almost iden- tical-costs $16.80. Man Behind Wilson-Press chief who whispers in Wilson's ear on censorship is fluttering Clarence Herschel Schooley who, prior to "The Great Crusade," was fervent in his endorsement of New Deal- ism and a frequent back-row mem- ber of the crowds welcoming Harry ry Truman back from whistle- stopping ... All this changed with Ike's election. Schooley turned up at the Republican National Com- mittee with scrapbooks, to prove that: "I am a Republican and I can prove it." Friends got the im- pression that he expected to be- come an Assistant Secretary of Defense .. . Like Ike, he joined the National Presbyterian Church, ev- DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) ty School)-Teacher Needs: Kindergar- ten; Third; Agriculture; Girls Physical Education.
