Hessler Seeks Open Door With Russians at Rotary Talk
William Hessler, foreign news analyst of the Cincinnati Enquirer, told 200 Hamilton and Middletown Rotarians at LeSourdsville Lake that “we must try to keep the door open with the Russians.” He said dialogue prevents shooting and urged intelligent propaganda and more people exchanges as the only hope for peace. Hessler, back from a six week tour of Norway, Sweden and the Soviet Union, described Russians as largely content despite hardships, noting free vacations and medical care, and predicted no uprising for a long time while conceding they have a long road to achieve U.S. living standards.
