Red China Called Russia's'Junior Partner'

(Of the Daily Kansan Staff)
communist China is a junior partner of Russia."
between the two nations
that's what A. Doak Barnett, expert on Far Eastern affa is the relations between the two nations.
Mr. Barnett, a representative of the American University field staff, has been speaking to University classes and organizations on the Fer East and China.
Mr. Barnett has spent 21 months in the Far East, After he joined the Institute of Current World Affairs in 1947, he spent two years in China, including eight months in Peiping under Communist rule.
"It's a theoretical possibility that problems might develop between China and Russia, but there is no split now." Mr. Bennett said. "Communist China is *a* junior partner of Russia, accepting Soviet leadership and advice. Moscow doesn't give orders to Peiping. The two countries work together."
'Effective Totalitarian Dictatorship'
"Effective Totalitarian Dictatorship"
"The Communist regime in China is strong and it has established a point of view that reaches the village level. It's a very effective totalitarian dictatorship," he added.
"The Communists have good organizational techniques," he explained. "Probably everyone in China belongs to some mass Communist organization. The party's propaganda machine functions internally, and its doctrine is injected into every media of communication and even into novels and plays. Expression of independent ideas has been eliminated."
The aim of the Communists is to industrialize China, he said. The effect began in 1953 when a plan, modeled from the Russian five-year plans, was started to establish iron, steel and other heavy industries.
Bothered By Shortage
The plan called for 156 specific projects in five years. The aim is to increase production 100 per cent, Mr. Barnett said.
"Shortages of skilled labor and machinery have been problems and the standard of living is not coming up," he added. "The Communists say the plan requires national sacrifice."
Although agriculture is subordinate to industry in the plan, it is nevertheless important, he said. Agriculture must feed the population, furnish raw materials for industry and provide goods for foreign export.
"Grain is rationed," he said. "Much of it is exported instead of being used in China."
It is difficult to know the facts, however, Mr. Barnett said, adding that he doubts the success of the Communist agricultural program.
It is also impossible to know facts concerning possible dissension within in China, Mr. Barnett said. Because the Communist program demands austerity, he said he would "guess there might be widespread dislike of the regime." He believes that university students are probably strong advocates for the present government, however.
Education Expanded
He said the educational system had been expanded and training at the university level has been shifted from a general to a technical emphasis.
"One-third of the students who are now being graduated are engineers," he said. The government supports the students and gives them a government assignment after graduation. There are more colleges in China and also

VIROQUA. Wis. — (U.P.)— Police searched 100 miles of highways today for a college freshman who shot his sweetheart and her best friend in grief over a broken romance.
Freshman Shoots Girl Friend, Pal
Fifteen-year-old Kav Broderick, sweetheart of the hunted youth, was in critical condition with four bullet wounds. Her friend, Lynn Lawton, 15, was also shot four times but was in good condition.
Sherif Morris Moon said Dennis Twing, 17, opened fire on the two girls in Miss Broderick's home late yesterday when she returned his ring and told him she didn't want to see him any more.
Twing, a University of Wisconsin freshman, dashed from the Broderick home and ran through Virogua, trying to flag down every car that passed.
Twing was believed to be heading for Madison, Wis., 100 miles from Viroqua. His father and mother, who are divorced, live in the Madison area where the university is.
Patrol cars searched mist-shrouded highways early today for the fleeing college student.
more students from rural districts."
Mr. Barnett said he doubted if it would have any appreciable effect internally in China if the United States recognized the Communist government diplomatically.
INDIANAPOLIS —(U. P.)-Bernard Gray is a mild, long-suffering person, but he finally decided enough's enough. He complained to police that a horn-honking neighbor has been disturbing him for two years.
Too Many Honks
DENVER —(U.P.)— President Eisenhower left Denver today "eternally grateful" for the messages and prayers of people all over the world during his 48-day bout with a heart attack.
Mr. Eisenhower, standing on a cold, wind-swept airstrip at Lowry Air Force Base just before his plane took off for Washington, said he departed with "a full heart" of gratitude for the good wishes and prayers during his illness.
The President and Mrs. Eisenhower reached Washington shortly after 3 p.m. CST and planned to spend the weekend at the White House, then go to their farm at Gettysburg, Pa., for an extended period of convalescence.
As the President left his limousine to walk to the plane, he ducked back inside the car to kiss his mother-in-law, Mrs. John S. Doud, goodbye.
Mr. Eisenhower looked fit, his voice firm, but he quite obviously had lost considerable weight during his hospitalization.
Ike Looks Fit
The field was heavily guarded for the President's departure and only close friends of the President and Mrs. Eisenhower and the White House staff were permitted near the White House plane, the Columbine III.
Mr. Eisenhower, standing on the sixth step of the plane ramp, said it was time again to say goodbye to Denver, but that this time he departed "under somewhat unusual circumstances."
He said quite soberly, however, that his "misfortune" had served one valuable purpose—he had heard from friends all over the world and it made him realize "how nice people can be."
He expressed his "eternal gratitude" to the medical staff at Fitzsimmons and the Air Force staff at Lowry where the Denver White House was based during his stay of nearly 14 weeks.
Repeatedly, Mr. Eisenhower said he and his wife were deeply touched by the thousands of messages, flowers, and gifts that have come to Denver since his illness.
FALL RIVER, Mass. — (U.P.)— Antonio Bue, 85, is still busy at his last after 59 years as a cobbler here.

U.S. Rocket Scientists Now Reach For Moon
Some of them believe a moon rocket project would be a logical follow-up to the current U. S. program to send up 10 earth satellites during 1957-58.
WASHINGTON—(U.P.)—U. S. rocket men are itching for a look at the moon's other face.
But knowing theoretically that something can be done is a far cry from designing and manufacturing the practical hardware that will do it.
siles engineer of the Sperry Gyroscope Company and president of the American Astronautical Society, believes a space-riding moon rocket is feasible now.
Norman V. Petersen, guided mis-
He believes two rockets equipped to explore space as far as the moon and even beyond could be built and successfully launched within the $10 million budget of the "low-orbit" earth satellite program.
