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.

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."

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.

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

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

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.

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?
