J 1 M I i I f 1 .1 i i V ft ' I ? -. -J 3f - - f ff am i ne Kespeer ur Man In b bold attempt to, protect their valuabls interests, mainly the Suez Canal, England and France have intervened in the . Near East fracas in a "police action." This situation cou pled with the recent repercussions in Hungary and Poland create an interesting and acute in ternational situation. The United States, under the leadership of President Eisenhower, has censured both the Egyptians and the Israelis for their aggressive actions along the Gaza Strip. The President has stated that the United States does not believe 1 exercising "force as an instrument for set tling international disputes." President Eisnehower's stand is especially wise considering the tremendous military po tential that is possessed by the leading na tions of the world. Ever since Russia began supplying Nasser and Egypt with strategic weapons, Israel has 'been especially worried over a serious upheaval in the post-war balance of power which existed in the Middle East. In 1948, Israeli forces signed an armistice with the Arab nations. Conceivably, Israel's current aggression can be interpreted as a desperate effort to curtail Egypt's rising military position. Possibly David Ben-Gurion and bis advisors desire to knock Col. Nasser from atop his self-attained pedestal in the Middle East and create an unstable sit uation in the Egyptian government. This would certainly elevate Israel's sagging status in that particular area.. British officials have vehemently denied any pre-battle deals with Israel. Some sources ac cused the English of collaborating with Ben Gurion in an effort to wrest control of the Suez away from Nasser. What the British and French have done, however, is to strike into Egypt with the in tention of ending the Israeli-Egyptian strife forever. When "both Britain and France com pletely ignore pleas from the United States re garding matters of extreme international im portance, then it is quite evident that the situa tion is immediate and threatening. England and France may occupy the Suez Canal as a result of their uncalled for attempt at re-establishment of colonialism, but they will not occupy the hearts of the free world with the respect which was once accorded the defenders of freedom in 1940. Khrushchev Departure By SAM JENSEN Nikita Khrushchev, present party boss of Russia, will be through by the end of this year. This is the prediction of Colin Jackson, former visiting professor of political science at the University. Jackson is visiting the University as a guest of the Political Science Department. Hungary and Poland are only a part of the picture, according to Jackson. And East Ger many might possibly be a site of more import ant developments. If Hungary and Poland be come, independent and direct lines of communica tion between East Germany and Russia are severed then Russia would not be able to stop another Berlin revolt. Jackson described the British intervention in Egypt as the last chance for Prime Minister Anthony Eden. At no time in this century, Jackson states, have the British people been as split as they are now. He cited the opposi tion of the Labor Party and several of England's daily newspapers. Former Prime Minister Churchill has had no part in the present situation; according to Jack son. If Eden's gamble is successful, Jackson said, the process of development of the Arab nations will be set back five years. ' Jackson proposed a practical solution for development of peace in the Near East. He stated that the United States and Britain hold one card which the Russians cannot match. The western nations through their economic con trol of oil interests by their accumulated tech nological known how are able to raise or lower the standard of living. , . j If these nations were to up the percentage given to the Arab countries from 50 per cent to 75 per cent, Jackson said, the extra percentage could be set up as a Near East development corporation. , This would provide an opportunity for Arab nations to unite in the development of their countries, including those nations such as Egypt which do not have oil. The Political Soap Box . . . Govetnor's Views By BOB IRELAND Copy Editor Governor Victor Anderson, Republican can didate for re-election, considers education, high ways, health, industrial development, and taxes the five most important phases of state govern ment. . . R e garding 0 t d u e a tion, Governor An derson deliv ered the fol lowing opin ion: "Education I Is one of the I safeguards of f d e m ocracy. : ' Since the V founding off', our nation, it "? has been the ' Inherent de- f'' sire ol most r- w " I t every citizen p v to give his t f - '4 ' 5VJ 7 3V BLtfiHtflHi 1 Courtety Lincoln Journal Governor Victor Anderson children the best in edu s a t i o n. No one wants our educational institutions to go backward. In these days of automation we have a real challenge to maintain our educational standards to fit our future generations for the ever changing world in which we live." "I am proud to say that Nebraska has kept in step with sot only the buildings and physical equipment necessary, but also in the curricula and personnel standards. We have many of the best educational leaders in the country." "My policy in the future, as it has been in the put as legislator, as Governor, and as e private citizen, will be to maintain these high educaitonal standards for present and future generations." During bis present campaign for re-election, Governor Anderson has discussed Nebraska's highway program at great length. The Governor summed up his highway platform with the fol lowing statement: "Highways are the lifeline of our national economy. We have 59 million cars and trucks on our roads today. Ten years from new we expect to have SO million. We must have an expanded highway program, not only for civilian use but for the vital part they plat in our na tional defense program." "During the past two years we have built more miles of hard surfaced roads than in any sim ilar period of time in our State's history. During the next two years we can do even better, be cause of the fact that we will continue with our regular state highway program and will add to it the Interstate system, , for which we will receive 90 cents of federal money for every ten cents the State pays." Governor Anderson oulined his health policies in the following manner: "The physical and mental well being of our people is an important factor in progress. In my budget recommendation to the Legislature for the 1955-57 biennum, I requested more than 2 million dollars for the new Psychiatric Unit in Omaha, which, is affiliated with the Univer sity of Nebraska School of Medicine. This is one of three such units in the United States." "The hospital is a place where we can train our own psychiatric doctors and nurses and keep them in Nebraska. The results of this unit in our mental health program have been re markable." "Between 1914 and 1954, a period of forty-one years, we had an increase of 208 in the num ber of mental patients in Nebraska. During the past two years we have had the first decrease in patient population of 200." Summarizing his accomnlishments in the in dustrial development field and commenting on the future, Governor Anderson stated: "We have made real progress in industrial development during the past two years. During this time, 23 new industries have located in 17 different communities in all sections of the state. They have invested or will invest over 50 million dollars in buildings and equipment. Equally or more important, they are furnishing thousands of new Jobs for our fellow Ne braskans." Governor Anderson completed his policy sum mary by commenting on Nebraska's tax situa tion: "In contrast to the rising trend of taxes for several years, it has been possible to carry on the state's business and to reduce the state property tax levy to the extent of $1,008,680.02. This reduction will be effective on state property tax in 1957." "Tiiis reduction applies only to the state property tax levy, as the Governor has nothing to do with the levy of city, county or school taxes." "This is the record of my administration as Governor of the State of Nebraska during the past two years." The Governor went on to say: "To young people everywhere, I would like to call your attention to the fact that you are the leaders of tomorrow. You have a great heritage to preserve. The rights of freedom of thought, freedom of action, freedom of reli gion and freedom of education depend very much on free elections end are essential to the preservation of that heritage."

Taa hilt, 4rj Sullcauaa Nebraskan Letterip foremost quality is an outward pro jection of inner personality. Apparently, Mr. Blore has nev er been near a farm. Our queen candidates may be a few feet from physical beauties, but they are as far from "pigs" as Po laris is from the center of the earth. Apparently, Mr. Blore should concentrate on Improving his own column (for which there is room) and leave the judgment of beauty to more competent individuals. W. F. Krueger Shopping Guide Dear Editors: Being an avid supporter of home, motherhood and the flag I find the Nebraskan's columnists highly entertaining. The columns of the Nebraskan offer a wide variety , . .from humor to controversy. However, how often in the span of a week does the reader receive full benefit of, this staff? If the advertising keeps up as heavy as it has been so far, there will be a continuance of the lack of space for such material as columns and the Campus Green. This past week was a typical one for the editor ial page as they could find room for only two columns. Apparently the only adjustment the staff can make is to have an eight page paper on Fridays, the result of which is simply an extra four pages of havey adver tising. A college newspaper should com plete its primary functions and not become a shopper's guide to be disregarded by the campus for lack of content.1 Ben Gaza Unaware Dear Editor: Apparently, Walt Blore, a sports editor of questionable qualifica tions, has not had the honor of personally meeting any of Nebras ka's homecoming queen candid ates, all of whom are quite per sonable and charming and beau tiful. Apparently, Mr. Blore is unaware of the qualities of beauty. Beauty consists of far more than an at tractive outward appearance. The hlv v M pear Compromise To the Editors, In criticizing Mr. Haible for ex pressing an opinion and giving ad vice to the University, wf believe the Nebraskan editor sfompro mised themselves in their editor ial, "No Truth Withou. Proof" of 30 October, inasmuch as the Nebraskan disclaims any special knowledge which might controvert what Mr. Raible said. We're sure the Nebraskan would not begrudge Mr. Raible the right to an opinion as such; but, because Mr. Raible does not betray his conficences, the veracity of his statements should not be discredited a priori, as the editors did. I the everyday world The verifiability of an opin ion need not be held to hte stan dard of court evidence; and, therefore, we believe the editor ial in point was presumptive and in poor "name-calling" taste. We suggest that, in the future, the Nebraskan ask for facts politely. - Bin Anderson Peter Andersen Law College Now that "Beans" Langly in forms me that the Cobs and Tas sels have pretty much dated each other up for the hour dance Sat urday evening, I find that I may temporarily depart from ttie hum and throb of campus activities to throw my political avoirdupois be hind Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver. Undoubtedly, this rash sort of tiling will set J. Leroy on the prowl again, but, in view of the fact that the free enterprise sys tem is no longer endangered here in Nebraska, I feel comparatively safe to take up a cudgel, fi not a pen, on behalf of these two gentlemen of the Democratic par ty. The Nebraskan, discharging Po go with painful reluctance," has been illuminating the presidential campaign for sometime with com ments on Adlai's "running social ism" and Ike's "peace, prosperi ty and progress," matching only Jr. Raymond McConnell in disgorg ing platitudes and inanities. (Incidentally, just what are these rumors circulating about The Ne braskan? Can it be that the paper is nothing but a refurbished pep permint stick? Is it possible that the occupants of the inner sanc tum are little more than candied apples? "Bosh,"' I say, "it must be the work of those rowdy Phi Delts again.") However, in lieu of tangling with such stiff political opposition, may it presently suffice to say that I am voting for Stevenson and Kefau ver for the following reasons: (1) Though the nomination and subsequent election of Eisenhow er in '52 marked the ascendancy of the liberal wing of the Republican party, its strength has been di luted to the point where Eisen hower himself, in the middle of his present term, was seriously con sidering the possibility of estab lishing a third party and where, at the convention in the Cow Pal ace, the cleavage between Eisen hower's acceptance speech and the Republican platform was so great that one could hardly tell they were supposed to be ground ed in a common philosophy. (2) Should Vice - president Nix on succeed to the presidency appears more than likely if Ki eenhower is reelected) a man to tally unfiit and unqualified for the Presidency would inherit the po sition. (3) The Republican administra tion has exhibited an alarming complacency toward issues both foreign and domestic, as pin pointed in the following two recent Eisenhower quotes: "But why this anguished cry of some politicians that we have no peace? Do they think they can make America's parents and wives believe their sons and husbands are being shot at?" (October) '.. This, when the NATO pact has never been weaker, Russia has consolidated a hold in the Middle East, armed fighting is going on in the Suez zone, our two oldest aiid greatest allies Britain and France are drifting further and further away, Korea lies under an uneasy armistice, Iceland has de manded that we evacuate our bas es there and administrative oppo sition to the suspension of the H-bomb tests continues to solidify, "I believe that, by any ob jective yardstick, the future to day in agriculture looks better more promising and more de pendanble than at any other time in this generation." (Oct. 17.).. This, when agriculture in Tex as, New Mexico, Arizona, Okla homa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebras ka, the two Dakotas, and parts of Iowa are in serious trouble; farm debts are mounting; farm ers, many of them young farmers, are leaving the farms; Nebras ka farmers, for the second straight year, have harvested less than half a crop; the price of hogs is down seriously, and a price squeeze similar to the late 20's has beset Midwestern agriculture. What price, peace and prosperity?
