The Editorial Page-
When scientists split the atom, they left for the social sciences the problem of uniting the world.
A new light fell upon the cold war between the East and the West when Russia's possession of the atomic secret was revealed a week ago. The news had two effects upon world affairs: (1) a new balance of power was created. (2) Control of the atomic bomb became a more acute problem.
Before the balance of power was disrupted, Russia accused the United States of using the atomic secret as a whip in attempting to bring other nations into line with U.S. policies. Now the Russians possess an identical whip. What will happen if the two tangle? No one knows. It is difficult for two nations to see eye to eye on any situation when their forms of government are so strongly opposed.
Trust Or Bust
Ever since the first atom bomb exploded, fear has prompted the universal realization that the new weapon must be controlled. United Nations delegates have never been able to agree upon an effective method of regulation. The United States plan would set up a powerful commission to send inspectors into any country in search of possible violations.
Russia has opposed this and wants the U.N. Security council (in which she has a veto) to supervise atomic regulation. The Soviet plan would have all nations destroy their stockpiles of atomic bombs with promises to outlaw their use. Such a solution seems more idealistic than realistic, especially when one analyzes the present situation of distrustful confusion.
Compromise is often the only solution to such bottleneck problems. With each nation wanting "peace on our own terms or we will fight to get it", no solution can be agreed upon. Loss of sovereignty is the prospect which both the U.S. and Russia fear.
Modern social scientists advocate a partial surrender of sovereignty for establishing a world government as the only answer to lasting peace. Just as families formed tribes, tribes established cities and cities became nations—so must nations become a world. Still retaining their local self-government, the nations should submit international disputes to a democratic world government. —Doris Greenbank
Stalin is determined to save the people of Yugoslavia, and he'll do it, too—even if he has to wipe out every one of them.
"Small Things"
Poor Tito—who no longer sings "The Internationale", but "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child."
Hitler's spirit chuckles at East-West differences, but the ghost of Draja Mihailovich is probably having the biggest laugh of all, these days.
Letter from a '48 graduate: . . . Everything's fine down here in the Balkans of Kansas . . . been getting some experience as the Sun's roving feature editor. However, my experience as a photographer has been delayed as the camera did everything except explode in my face the first time I tried to take a picture. It's a devil—an evil thing bent on my destruction. It sneers at me and dares me to try to take a picture with it. It seems to cringe and withdraw within itself at my very touch, like a cold, unapproachable child. Its shutter is now at the factory being repaired, and in the interlude I know it's plotting more impish tricks to foil me. I dread to ride alone in the car with it, and I know someday I'll stop on a secluded road and smash it into a million tiny unrecognizable pieces, laughing and screaming like one insane. . . Hope Kansas isn't headed for the doldrums of football obscurity again. . . We alums remember, with swelling chests, the days of "Riffin' Ray" and his air force friends. . . Hear that Abbye is working on the Chanute paper now. See you at Manhattan game.
Yours,
Jim J.
"A real 'Woo Wagon' " was advertised last week in the Kansan classifieds. Might as well resign ourselves to the return of the raccoon coat and the hip flask.
Once more Oklahoma staves off the Demon Rum, and that vast sigh of relief we hear is from southern Kansas liquor dealers.

Gentlemen:
In your paper of Wednesday, September 28, on page one, the statement is made that I agreed with Dean Lawson's statement on federal aid for education. The statement I made over the phone to one of your reporters was that any group or organization which had the money would have the control and that whether this matter of government control was desirable or undesirable, I was not prepared to say.
In the interest of accurate reporting, I want to bring this to your attention.
J. O. Maloney,
Professor of Chemical Engineering
