Sokolsky at War now i president Eisenhower a speech on Quemoy and Matsu was like a breath of fresh air in a fetid chamber. No More appeasement no More acceptance of bullying no More fear of an enemy that is strongest in the Mouth from which he utters a constant Stream of falsehood.

A War and peace in the space age Quot Quot if we Are to believe the statements made by the soviet leaders from Lenin to thru aches. Then we Are at War now. If this is the Case and i believe that it is. The soviets Are far beyond the planning stage in their strategy. They Are in the Field of application. Of course planning goes on concurrently in anticipation of forthcoming events. But the soviets have a strategy plan in execution today the object of which is to so weaken the West psychologically economically and politically that Battle will be unnecessary. A that is the essence of the situation. Khrushchev might have written a Book on How to win a War without fighting. For that is what he has been trying to do since he took Over the control of the soviet Universal state. Most of Stalin s ingenuity has been extended in bringing together the pieces of Czar Istle Russia in forming a system of government that would operate at Home and abroad without a constant theoretical debate. And in developing a heavy Industry to be Able to fight wars and to compete with Western nation. Stalin avoided a direct conflict with the United states from whom he accepted is in Aid. To set up standards of co operation during world War ii which were unique and far from satisfactory but they continued to be proper. Stalin was both cute and astute and As unscrupulous As a Talley a and. Vol. 80, no. 220 it.

Pleasant High school wednesday evening. I several of those present sex i pressed the View that they believed the time was drawing near when the study should be brought to a conclusion and the forma Steps for reorganization taken. So o a county superintendent Joe Davis said that in his opinion this would be a very Good reorganized District and that it appeared to him the time had come for action he said the size is Good the property valuation average per student Back of the District is Good the District docs not involve controversial elements because it will be serving largely the same Are now served and the study committees have a very in the transportation committee gave the recommendations of that committee on recommended procedures in handling the bus routes and other phases of the transportation. In tile steering committee that followed arrangements were made to prepare fact pamphlets for wide distribution to carry the information to All areas included in the plan by personal contacts or group meetings and to sound out sentiment in the areas preparatory to drawing the outline of the proposed District. The Ukraine so that he has technicalities of the step by step which no one can blame them he was born close enough to the Ukraine and he worked his younger years in taken on the Gay facade of these people who like to sing and dance and who Are among the Mast cheerful of the slavs. This Farad stands Khrushchev in Good Stead particularly in meeting westerners who Are surprised by his smiling face and his jokes most of those who encounter him had never before come across russians other than the dour told heavy handed russian diplomats who look As though they cursed their mothers for having Given birth to them Are intrigued by his Gay summer.

He suggested that Legal counsel be employed to handle the Legal with the right deviation St Tito on one flank and the stalinist. Mao on the other. Khrushchev has not had an easy time Mao is Khrushchev s Superior intellectually. He is probably the most Correct marxist theoretician in the world today. Khrushchev cannot afford Mao s opposition because it would undermine his influence among communist intellectuals not Only among the s Tael Lites and neutrals but even within soviet Russia therefore Khrushchev must pursue Mao s wish which is to be admitted into the United nations As China. To accomplish til i s. Khrushchev risks War with the United states. Stalin always assumed that time was in soviet russians favor. Also Stalin s prestige while he lived was so enormous that Mao Only grew As a fungus upon the growth of Stalin Khrushchev is not in such a position. Therefore he must be constantly at War but he tues to make it his kind of War procedure i afer in the steering committee session a committee of three was named to Contact an attorney and report Back.
