Nebrig Says WW III Now Being Fought
A KU student who last summer spent a month and a half in the Soviet Union said last night that World War III was declared long ago, "without one warning blip from the DEW line."
Robert A. Nebrig, Leavenworth senior, was speaking to a KU-Y meeting in the Kansas Union. His trip to the Soviet Union was an official student exchange, sponsored by the YM-YWCA.
"World War III is the fight for men's minds. It is being fought in Southeast Asia and in our attitudes here at home." Nebrig said.
Struggle Prevails Today
"The struggle for power is going on right now. It is not waiting for missiles to be launched. The Soviet Union is calling American democracy's bluff. We talk about Thomas Jeffersonism (idealism), but it is time to put that idealism into practice."
He said the Russians are challenged to convert the world in the same way that missionaries in different religions are challenged.
"The Soviet people believe Marx is God. Lenin is Jesus Christ, and the path is set in Communism."
Nebrig said the Soviet Union has a "much more stringent method of teaching than we do. The people hear the same thing everywhere they go."
He quoted from a popular Russian hymn:
"Dav by day the years pass.
Lay by day the years pass
The dawn of new generations
But nobody ever will forget
The name of Lenin
Lenin is always alive
Lenin is always with you
In soul, in hope and in gladness
Lenin is your spring
In each of your happy days
Lenin is in you and in me."
Communism Answers All
Nebrig explained that the Soviet Union does not have "evil men corrupting the students," but that the Soviet people believe Communism is the "answer to all questions."
Communism Answers All
and that science is the ultimate answer to life and its philosophy.
Two Sailors Pedal Bikes Across U.S.
DEWEY, Okla. —(UPI)— Upon their discharge from the Navy, Merrett E. Ashcraft and George E. Frenchman, both 22, stepped aboard a couple of bicycles that were waiting for them in Los Angeles and pedaled home to Dewey.
"Everyone you talk to says there is no God, that science can prove morality, and that science can build a good life. They say that if everyone is evil, the whole society is evil. They feel that every person should be good—and then, society will be good."
Ashcraft and Frenchman had decided to make the trip, which took them 22 days, while aboard a destroyer in the Pacific. So they bought two racers in Hong Kong and had them shipped to a friend in Los Angeles for keeping until their arrival.
Nebrig said Communism is the only philosophy allowed in the Soviet Union, "but they didn't prove their philosophy to me."
He said that when he tried to pin a person down and get him to analyze the fine points of the philosophy, the person would tell him to hunt up a philosopher, because the person was not qualified to adequately answer.
"I asked a philosophy student
about his studies. He could not name one philosophy that conflicted with Communism."
Visit Was Too Short
"I sincerely believe that if our generation develops into maturity
Nebrig said democracy has more to offer the word than communism, but that the American people must live what they believe and talk about.
In an interview earlier this year, Nebrig said that he felt humble about his visit. He said that most people are there only long enough to confirm the ideas they had before they went, but that he was there long enough to feel inadequate in giving a complete report because he knew that he had not seen all of the country and its people.
They are a dedicated people sacrificing themselves for the sake of their cause.
"How will our generation deal with them? Are we being prepared so that we can deal with them? What is the difference between Christian Americans and Atheistic Soviets? Can the American people tighten their belts and match the Soviet people's pioneer spirit?"
by thinking that preparedness is measured in 4 terms of missiles, we will have lost our cause. We will not be prepared to accept the real implications of the East-West struggle
"Our world today is a new kind of world. Its peoples are struggling to come into their own—throwing off the chains of domination."
He said the chains of domination are interpreted in different ways by different people.
The Russians are challenged to conquer the world with their belief.
