Mr. K.Retreats- To Regroup Again?
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
At a Moscow diplomatic reception a little more than a year ago, First Deputy Anastas Mikoyan remarked the Soviet Union's greatest secret weapon was Nikita Khrushev's tongue.
And, indeed, the fast-talking Khrushchev was riding high.
He held the initiative in Berlin and used it to threaten and squeeze out the Western Allies through a separate peace with East Germany.
Using Soviet missile and nuclear successes as his propaganda springboard, he sought at the same time to spread fear of Soviet power among small or wavering nations and the neutrals. Western peace organizations became vehicles for his propaganda.
WITH HIS DECLARED POLICY of peaceful co-existence, his call for immediate freedom for all colonial peoples and for immediate and complete world disarmament, he sought to picture himself as a champion of peace standing against Western aggressors.
In 1960 he reached a peak
In 1960 he reached a peak. In that year, at the summit conference in Paris, he tongue-lashed the President of the United States.
HE DEMANDED THE resignation of United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold for policies frustrating to the Soviet Union in the Congo.
He declared Nationalist China a corpse which should be thrown out of the U.N.
More important to the present, in
that year he had his emotional meeting with Fidel Castro at the United Nations and in that year declared:
"WE CONSIDER THE Monroe Doctrine has outlived its time . . .
has died..."
In July, 1960, he warned the Soviet Union would use rockets against the United States if the U.S. intervened militarily in Cuba.
He repeated the threat in April, 1961, when he said the Soviet Union will "render the Cuban people and their government all necessary assistance in beating back the armed attack on Cuba."
These are the statements which may come back to haunt Khrushchev and which contribute to one of the great imponderables in the present crisis.
Khrushehev's announcement he is ordering his missiles in Cuba dismantled and shipped back home is a major retreat but not yet a retreat of historic dimensions.
HISTORICALLY, the Kremlin has preferred to let others fight its wars and to avoid war itself.
Rather it could be another example of one Soviet step backward in order to take two forward.
He made it clear he had no intention of releasing his hold on Cuba, a hold which now extends into every walk of Cuban life.
Nonetheless, events of the last few days could be enough to cause Khrushchev trouble at home. His failure after four years to settle the Berlin problem and now the unfavorable events in Cuba might provide just the ammunition needed by the Stalinists and others who oppose his brand of personal diplomacy.
Students Entertain Children With Judo at School Carnival
Five members of Phi Kappa Tau and Delta Chi found tricky things to do last night but they tricked for a purpose.
The students dressed up and put on a judo show at the Cordley Grade School carnival last night. Mat-size tickets cost 10 cents.
Jim Carr, Carthage, Mo., senior who organized the group emcee the "judo bouts," dressed in a colorful silk kimono. The wrestlers were Jim Stevenson, Kansas City junior; Richard Britz, Severna Park, Md., senior; John Pulley, Kansas City freshman and John Peoples, Lawrence junior.
Stephenson, who has 6 years experience in judo and karati, first demonstrated his ability to break
various size white pine boards with his elbow, fist, and the side of his hand.
Pulley, as a planted member of the audience, was asked to participate as Stephenson demonstrated judo kicks and falls. Masked goblins and fairy princesses giggled with delight as Pulley spun and threw Stephenson time after time.

The exhibition ended with a five minute match between Britz and Peoples, who were "Japanese judo experts" by way of the eyebrow pencil make-up they wore.
The judo exhibition served as a point of interest to adults at the carnival who tired of fishponds, make-up booths, and other forms of entertainment.
Hashinger Girls Create Own Rug
By Tom Winston
Like many students who have frozen their bare feet once too often in climbing out of bed onto a cold floor, two girls in Hashinger Hall solved their problem by getting a rug—but with a difference.
They made the rug themselves out of 68 carpet samples, each one different, put together with two-inch masking tape.
"It took 10 woman hours of hard labor to put it together," roommate Joyce Mitchell, Kansas City senior, said. "Joanne and I took five hours one hot evening and did it, wiping sweat from our brows with one hand, slapping tape on with the other. It sure was hot."
"I BEGGED THE samples from furniture dealers in my home town, Aberdeen, S.D.," Joanne Randall, a senior in theater and voice, said.
The girls said their rug has been a hit with visitors at dorm open houses and other girls in the hall.
"THERE'S QUITE a market for the pieces we have left," Joanne said. "Eight or 10 girls have indicated that they'd like to make a rug like this and asked where they could buy the materials."
The rug has 36 pieces 13 by 18 inches and 32 pieces 11 by 16 inches, arranged in parallel lines of eight and 12, in pastel colors, tans and browns. There are some solid colors and some patterns, mostly tweeds and stripes. The one unharmonious note is the bright red welcome mat in front of the door, surrounded by a big black square.
"It's our version of the red carpet treatment." Miss Mitchell said.
Visitors are often intrigued as to how they put the rug together, Miss Randall said. Even Mrs. Fred Ellsworth, wife of the man for whom a new men's dorm will be named, asked at a recent open house if the girls sewed it together.
"One girl asked me if we just laid it there," Miss Randall said. "But there are others who think it is a patchwork pattern carpet in one piece. Several have tried to pull it apart with their feet.
"Actually, the masking tape is better than sewing it, because the more it is walked on the better it sticks." Miss Randall added.
"WE HAVE MANY more pieces." Miss Mitchell said. "We'll put a new line of squares on every night or something.
The girls plan to make their rug wall-to-wall eventually.
"It makes the place look real homey," Miss Randall said. "But our biggest problem is cleaning it.
Anti-Red Riots Start In India
NEW DELHI — (UPI) — Five hundred rioting Indian students shouting "death to the invaders" today stoned an Indian Communist Party office and smashed Chinese shops in a protest against the Communist Chinese border attacks.
The rioting broke out in downtown New Delhi as an ominous quiet settled over the fighting fronts and V. K. Krishna Menon, denoted Defense Minister, flew to Tezpur, 150 miles from one battle area.
The rioting students broke of
from a crowd of 10,000 protest marchers and attacked a Chinese restaurant, curio shop, and shoe-maker's shop. None of the Chinese proprietors could be seen.
Outnumbered police fought the rioters but could not hold them back as they threw rocks through the plane glass window of the fashionable restaurant and ripped down the Chinese characters of its sign.
The students burned an effigy of Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-Lai and shouted "drive the Chinese back to the China wall.
