Big 4 Meeting
Moral Victory
By WILLIE DESCH
Staff Writer
A substantial diplomatic and
moral victory is to be accredited
to the West because of Russia's
declared willingness to attend a
Big Four foreign ministers meet
ing, Secretary of State Dulles
said.
Dulles suggested that Vienna
might be a better meeting place
than Berlin although one factor
against it would be that the Aus
trian capital also was divided
between East and West
British Foreign Minister An
thony Eden made it clear in the
House of Commons that in spite
of American doubts of Soviet sin

Four talks under way as soon
as possible. 7
Churchill and Eden will attempt
to urge Lame! and Eisenhower to
join in accepting the proposal at
Berlin and setting the date for
mid-January, , ... . .
US Not To 'Bluster
Secretary of State Dulles re
torted to widely publicized criti
cism that the United States speaks
in too kindly a manner to its
Allies by commenting that fee
and President Eisenhower do not
propose to throw away- the as
sets of Allied co-operation by
blustering and domineering meth
ods.
The comments were aimed at
Sen. McCarthy R-Wis) however
his name was not mentioned by
Dulles.
In a statement made at a news
conference, Dulles said the ad
ministration rejected arrogant
and demanding methods. He
added the bases shared by the
Allies made possible the peace
keeping threat of atomic retlaia
tion by the United States against
the vitals of Russia.
Dulles said without the Allied
bases and the United States warn-
in e svstems. such key cities as
Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and
Milwaukee would be easy targets
for the enemy. . -
Benson Methods Hit
In the opinion of Otis Tossett
of Lansford, N. D., a vice presi
dent of the National Association
of Soil Conservation Districts, the
controversy over the reorganiza
tion of the SCS was largely the
result of "amateurish" actions on
the part of Department of Agri
culture officials.
This was evident when Secre
tary Benson and his assistants
made the reorganization a top
secret plan. Also the methods
which were discussed ia closed
sessions should have been brought
before the public and press Tos
sett said.
Tossett caned the NASCD the
most democratic and patriotic

their motives are higher than just
increasing the productivity of
their own farms and their prime
motive is to be of the utmost

Poll To Determine
members of the faculty feel that
the majority of students have not
applied the two day ' period to
studying ia the past.
' IN VIEW of this opinion on
the part of the faculty, the Stud
ent Council distributed a letter
of explanation and a poll to de
termine student opinion on this
subject The letter presented a
compromise of eliminating the
two days before exams alto
gether, keeping one free day be
fore exams. and adding a free
day after exams, or retaining the
two day study period.
Many students, when inter
viewed, expressed the idea that
if a student has sufficient time
to review a course, he will learn
more from it Other students
felt there was little advantage of
the study period before exams
as the majority of students don't
do much studying during this
time.

Governor's 'Operation Honesty'
Plan Defined At
"I have some friends that think
there is something immoral about
taxes," began Governor Robert
B.. Crosby, Tuesday evening at
the Biz Ad banquet in his dis
cussion of "Morality in Taxa
tion. Speaking before a large crowd
of Biz Ad students, faculty mem
bers, and guests, Gov. Crosby
defended his new plan for equal
ized tax assessments Operation
Honesty.
"HOW PEOPLE will share the
burden has come to the chief
issue during my term as Gover
nor," Crosby continued, "but the
field of taxation about which
Nebraskans know the least is the
property tax, our main source of
income."
The Governor explained how
the State Board of Equalization
became aware of the inequality
in tax assessments last year.
'"It is no piece of political for
tune that I wasn't allowed to
ignore the problem as it had
been in the past" Crosby stated.
THE NEBRASKA law provides
for assessment at full 100 per
cent evaluation uniformly and
proportionately. Since the ori
ginal law had been passed, in
1922, different counties had let
their assessments slip to as low
as 13 per cent of assessed values.
"Many predicted we didn't
have the courage to equalize the
assessments," Crosby said, "but
the Board had seen an inspiring
demonstration that local govern
ment will work, even under po
litical pressure. Twenty-three of
the 93 counties in the state had
equalized their real estate assess
ments themselves.
"THE PURPOSE of Operation
Honesty is to get a generally
honest performance on tax sched
ules. There are many skeptics,
but most people are honest"
"The fellow who evades taxes,
the Governor warned, "cheats his
