ACTIONS of Messrs Khrushchev and
ulganin in London the past week are high-
licative of the basic tactic of Russian dip-
tic strategy. The underlying purpose of
visit to Britain has been to drive a wedge
aen the United States and the United
dom, or at the very least, plant a germ of
t as to the wisdom of the British alliance
NATO and America.
tial attempts by the Russians to accom-
their mission followed much the same
rn used in previous jaunts-the "after all,
tifferences with you are not so great and
really not such bad guys" approach. But
came rapidly apparent that this line would
e put across in Britain, that they were not
cularly welcome guests.' Crowds every-
e have greeted them with orderly but
ed hostility and the government has
ged them in serious and meaningful con-
tions on crucial topics designed to severe-

ly test the Russian claim to be leaders in the
movement toward world peace.
This constantly uncompromising reception
irked the Russians to the point where, at the
height of his irritation, Khrushchev delivered
his menacing H-bomb guided missile declara-
tion. The reference to guided missiles was
carefully calculated to strike home to the.
Briton who well remembers the death and
destruction wreaked by Hitler's V-2's in the
closing days of World War IL
The significance of this statement lies not
only in its substance but even more in that it
clearly demonstrates a basic principle of Soviet
policy. When the ends of the Soviets can be
gained through non-violent means, these will
be employed. But when opposition to subver-
sion and other forms of political warfare is
met, all pretense is thrown off and the willing-
ness of the Russian leaders to use devastating
force to attain their goals is manifest.

Dr. William Morgan Brace

rhymed couplets, a severe challenge
DAILY
OFFICIAL
BULLETIN


IE DEATH Monday of William Morgan
Brace erased from the campus a chunk of
higan spirit which has long been tradition
never students or alumni gather to recall
.r earlier school days. Though his title was
ply Physician in the Health Service, to
dreds Dr. Brace signified much more.
rom his graduation from Ann Arbor High
ool in 1914, and his University training from
4 to 1925, to his passing, the name William
ce was synonymous not only with medical
ice but with a loyalty to the Maize and
e that burned in everything he did.
rom 1940 until last fall, the 61-year-old
sician accompanied the Marching Band
everytrip away from home. Since 1933,
had served the summer biological station
Cheboygan, and from 1936 to 1950 the
versity's geography camp. He had, served
hi such student organizations as Sphinx
i Delta Omega medical'honorary. Whether
request was for professional advice or some-

thing which his ,University salary did not
include, William Brace was always on hand.
FROM A MEDICAL standpoint alone, he
servedhis profession untiringly and often
thanklessly. His work with Jonas Salk and
Thomas Francis wa recognized by the Journal
of the American Medical Association. And as
Health Service Director Morley Beckett points
out, "Bill Brace gave his whole life to Health
Service."
Under the direction of several of Dr. Brace's
close associates, plans are now underway for a
hemorial to his long years of service to Health.
Service and the whole University community.
The Michigan Alumni Fund in Alumni Me-
morial Hall has set up a special division for
contributions in his name and a representative
memorial committee will soon be established.
It is a fitting tribute to William Morgan
Brace, a man who will always keep living in the
hearts of the students and University he served
so dearly.

T WAS just 11 years ago this
week-noon, April 25, 1945-that
a patrol of American riflemen
pushed through the no-man's-land.
between the forward American and
Russian lines and linked up with
a Russian patrol on the east bank
of the River Elbe.
On that blood-soaked river bank
with the artillery-sha ttered bodies
of German women and children
around them, the Americans met
a Russian patrol, embraced, offer-
ed a toast to friendship, and vowed
that the futile tragedy of war
which took the lives of the non-
combatant women and children
strewn around them, would never
happen again.
That day was one to be remem-
bered. For not only did American-
Russian forces join together that
occasion, but the United Nations
organization held its first meeting
in San Francisco that day - to
consummate the pledge of those
Russian and American patrols.
* * *
A LOT HAS happened in the 11
years since then.
A general named Eisenhower
and a Russian Marshal named
Zhukov later met in Berlin and
tried to carry out the spirit of that
River Elbe pledge. They worked
out a fair degree of cooperation
between American and Russian
troops.

The general named Eisenhower'
went to Moscow and told in his
book, "Crusade in Europe," how for
five hours he had stood on the
tomb of Lenin watching a sports
parade in Red Square.,
"None of us had ever witnessed
anything remotely similar," he re-
ported. "Every kind of folk dance,
mass exercise, acrobatic feat, ath-
letic exhibition was executed with
flawless precision, and apparently
with greatest enthusiasm. The
band, said to number a thousand
pieces, played continuously during
the five-hour show .. .the Gen-
eralissimo (Stalin) appeared to
enjoy every minute of the show.
He invited me to his side, and we
conversed intermittently during
the entire period."
* * *
OVERSHADOWING all goals for
us Americans," the general named
Eisenhower wrote "was the con-
tribution we locally might make
toward establishing a working
partnership between the United
States and Russia.
Unquestionably he meant what
he sait That was the spirit of the
times.
The years passed. Times chang-
ed. The pictures of Eisenhower
and Zhukov sitting together were

to show he was pro-communist.
Nothing, of course, could have been
further from the truth.

TIMES CHANGED AGAIN. The
pendulum of fate swung back, in-
fluenced by the death of a dictator,
by public opinion, by diplomatic
frustration.
A president named Eisenhower
once again met his co-commander
named Zhukov, this time in Gen-
eva. Not much was scored in tan-
gible diplomatic achievement, but
much was scored in creating a bet-
ter atmosphere.
The president named Eisenhow-
er did a fine job personally. His
magnetism, his warmth, the fact
that he went all the way to Gen-
eva, melted the myth that the
United States was a nation of war-
mongers. But (the diplomats, the
generals, and tie admirals got into
the act and helped to kill some of
the success. Also; it takes time to
heal the wounds of war, the poison
of propaganda - and the man
named Eisenhower wanted to re-
main only four days abroad.
Probably more has happened in
these short nine months - that
might change the shape of the
world-than at any other single
period since the first nine months
following April 25, 1945, the day
when a patrol of American rifle-
men crossed the River Elbe at noon
and mingled with their Russian
comrades amid the blood-soaked
bodies of German women and
children.

which he fashions his thesis ex-
plains why "The Misanthrope" is
generally regarded as his best play.
It would be unpardonable to
single out any members of the cast
for special praise for all gave ex-
pert performances. This is cer-
tainly the Speech Department's
best production this year and is'
enthusiastically recommended.
Hugh Z. Norton, Edward An-
dreasen and Marjorie Smith, in
charge, respectively, of direction,
scenery and costumes, deserve par-
ticular praise. The last two cate-
gories, with the setting a Paris

AT THE MICHIGAN:
'Sea' Dull
Sequel
THE UNEXPECTED American
financial success of the Brit-
ish comedy "Doctor in the House"
has prompted the film's producers
to create a sequel entitled "Doctor
At Sea."
It is difficult to determine whe-
ther the second "'Doctor" film is
really intended pfimarily for
American audiences, but in con-
struction and dialogue it is not
nearly so good as a mediocre "I
Love Lucy" show.
Naturally, the plot concerns a
young doctor (Dirk Bogarde) who
goes to sea and gets seasick, re-
gurgitating for a five minute
stretch, then progressing to other
predictable adventures.
There is a crusty captain (James
Robertson Justice) on the ship
who has a marshmallow heart that
sometimes melts through his deep
screams. And when the ship docks
in Egypt, it manages to pick up
a couple of female passengers, one
a bistro entertainer (Brigitte Bar-
dot), the other a frenzied English
equivalent of the dumb blond
(Brenda De Benzie).
"DOCTOR AT SEA" suffers
dreadfully from an overemphasis
on bedroom aex, the kind that is
expressed by A innocently falling
on top of B while C enters and
gets the wrong impression. Its
dialogue is on a grade school level.
At one point, a patient is informed
that he has athlete's foot. "Why,
I don't know any athletes," he
quips.
Bogarde is required to be solely
cute-handsome. He succeeds well,
in this department, but has the
annoying habit of raising his left
eyebrow before each ' dissolve.
About the third time, the trick
begins to wear.
Miss Bardot sings a rather un-
distinguished song and wears
veeeery low-cut gowns that ap-
pear to be sliding off each time
she inhales. Justice as the cap-
tain growls, while Miss De Banzie
asks him, "May I drive?" and later
"Where are the breaks?" Another
time, while lamenting the lonely
life of a sea captain, she says
"Why I suppose you have sea gulls.

SELECTIVE SERVICE:
Arbitrary Draft Call Not Possible

.4.
.4
x

By DAVID BROWN
Daily staff Writer
W ENEVER college graduation
draws, near or the world situ-
ation becomes more tense, students
begin eyeing their local draft
boards with the inevitable ques-
tion, "Who'll be taken next?"
Despite many misguided opin-
ions to the contrary, draft boards
in every section of the country
mail out induction notices accord-
ing to a definte pattern of selec-
tion.
J. Wesley Kurshildgen, Univer-
sity assistant to the registrar and
adviser to students with draft
problems, says that an, arbitrary
system of draft selection is not
possible under the most recent
congressional bill passed last Jan-
uary.
"But," Kurshildgen hastens to
add, "radical changes can be made
in the draft laws at any time. For
example, no one would have pre-
dicted last summer that fathers
might be exempted from the draft.
But it happened, and thus every
student should be informed and
make his plans accordingly."
Such plans shouldn't be of a tem-
porary nature either, he pointed
out. "The way things look right
now, and with the continuation of
the status-quo, the military draft
will be extended into the unfore-
seeable future."
* * *
TODAY THE selective service
places registrants into six cate-

national quotas run anywhere from
6,000 to 16,000 depending upon the
number of military personnel re-
tiring from the service. The num-
ber of volunteersduring a period of
time determines how far a board
has to dig into other eligible cate-
gories to meet its quota.
If there are few volunteers, the
prospect of draft facing each youth
becomes more real and planning
for the future is made that much
more difficult.
* * *
THE NEXT GROUP eligible for
the draft, which includes non-
volunteers between the ages of 19
and 26, acutely concerns the col-
lege student despite his deferment.
As the present 'law stands, every
youth has an eight year military
obligation including two years of
active duty.
With nearly every college stu-
dent facing two years of service,
Kurshildgen said, "It is my belief
that every boy should plan on
that two years service either after
high school, in the middle of col-
lege or following his graduation.
Although they aren't taking too
many who are older than 26, most
draft boards won't wait untfl the
youth has reached that age."
A college student may invoke
his single right of statutory defer-
ment if he receives an induction
notice during the school year. This
right enables him, upon notice of
his draft board, to finish the pres-
ent academic year. After that

21-22 age level. This is because the
previous average of draftees was
23, and the new rules of January
are expected to lower this average
somewhat,
The big change in the recent
draft revision occurs in the fourth
and fifth classifications of draf-
tees. Once the draft board has
exhausted its reserve of prospec-
tive youths between 19-26, fathers
may be called to complete the
quotas.
Thus, it is important to remem-
ber that fathers haven't been given
outright exemption, but their
chances of being called today are
slim unless there is a sharp rise
in draft quotas.
However, to be a father in the
eyes of the draft board, the indi-
vidual must "maintain a bona fide
family relationship in the homes"
and not be divorced.
* * *
A FATHER must notify the
board of his new status, or he may
be drafted despite his fatherhood.
Naturally, married men without
children are still affected individ-
ually by the new age priorities for
calls.
The other important change in
the draft comes under the fifth
category affecting those past 26
years of age. Men having passed
their 26th birthday without hav-
ing been deferred at any time
along the way are presently being
deferred from a military call. But
