Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
It will be (interesting now to
•Watch what ithe Russians do, or
try to do, with their so-called
^cooperation for peace' cam
paign.
'Molotov killed it off at Gen
eva. Rut will Rulglanin and
Khrushchev bury ior will
they mummify it and try to
keep it on display?
The just-ended meeting of
foreign ministers has ernphasiz
ed again that there is an impen
etrable wall between Russia
and the western powers. Even
the same words, as used by the
two sides, mean different
things, because they proceed
from an entirely different bas
is of thought.
Even the mask of politeness,
assumed by the parties before
the summit meetinlg1 last sum
mer, (became a tattered ihing as
the foreign ministers neared
the close of their sessions. Mo
lotov’s expressions of xenopho
bia might have been taken
from some of his early speech-1
es in the United Nanions ten
years ago.
When Dulles twitted the Sov
iet foreign minister for fearing
subversion of the Soviet people
through outside coni: acts, he
was pulling the scab off a re
cent sore. Molotov had just re
cently “confessed” at home
that he had been wrong in say
ing 'Russia was building up its
socialist system • when, “in
fact,” it was already built.
'Dulles said he has assumed,
apparently falsely, that social
ism in Russia must be well e
noulgh established to with
stand oui side ideas. No vitu
peration could have been more
'bitter to Molotov.
No colder communique ever
came out of such a conference
than the one issued yesterday.
The only benefit of the meat
ing was a hilghly disturbing
one. The allies had looked up
on the conference as a test, hop
ing against hope that it would
not prove what if did prove —
that you dan’t do business with
the communists. The pretenses
'have fallen away.
The bi1^question now' is what
affect .the failure will have on
Germany. Will the Germans
.begin to feel that, since the
allies cannot obtain reunifica
tion, they had best see what
•they can do for themselves in
direct dealing with Russia?
Not while Adenauer is thej
boss. But Adenauer is an old j
pan and a sick man. and his
time is running short. A demo
gogue, rising to take 'his place,
might lead the depairing Ger
mans into an exitremely dan
gerous adventure, as one did
not so many years algo. And it
might end in the same sort of
catastrophe for the world.

morninlg at the Pioneers Home

To the Editor
Daily Sitka Sentinel
I live in sight of Swan Lake
and as I watch youngsters
skating out there on the ice
my blood runs cold — as their
lives lare in constant danger as
they are out there in the face
of warnings that the ice is un
safe.
f I can’t help but wonder
WHY the parents do not heed
the warnings. Children do not
realize their danger, but par
ents do, or SHOULD.
But whalt makes me really
wonder is why a grown man
deliberately goes out on the
ice in the face of said warn
ings. setting a very bad exam
ple for children, who will nat
urally follow the lead of a
grown-up, especially when it is
something they very much
want to do.

COLLEGE PICKS
Michigan over Ohio State:
Not much to choose between
these two B|g Ten powers, but
the game will >be played on
Michigan's field and the Wol
verines know if they win they
go to the Rose Bowl. On the
other hand, the Ohioans know
that even if they win they
can’t go.
| Notre Dame over Iowa -—
jlowla has 14 good players, No
tre Dame has three times that
many. But it could be close.
Oklahoma over i\ ebraska —
Figures and statistics slay these
teams boast identical Big Sev
en conference records but i/t
is an open and shut case for
Oklahoma.
Maryland over George Wash
ing.on — only the Florida
team of early season has made
George Washington look bad
on the field. The Colonial’s de
fense is rugged, but Maryland
has enough to pierce it.
Michigan State over Mar
quette — in a breeze.
UCLA over Southern Cali
fornia — if the season doesn’lfc
end soon UOLA m‘ay run out
of able-bodied backs. Even if
Ronnie Knox and Bob Diaven
port are shelved, the UOLAns
want to go on to the Rose
Bowl with a victory over their
arch-rivals.
Texas Christian over Rice —•
Jim Swink of TCU gets the
same reverance in Texas os
does a 10,000 barrel oil well.
Auburn over Clemson —
How can a team with Fob
(CQ) James and Joe Childress
ever Jose?
West Virginia over Syracuse
The angry Mountaineers,
dumped last week by Pitts
burgh, take it out on Syracuse
But the New Yorkers are rug
ged and could win.
Yale over Harvard — That
Yale line, with powerful Phil
-larasovie as the bossman. to
decide.
Tennessee over Kentucky ,
A spot for an upset.
I ar West — Arizona over
New Mexico, Colorado A & M
over Brigham Young, Idaho
over Montana, Oregon State
over Oregon, Stanford over
California, Washington over
Washing.on State.
