Vice-President's Tour Mistake, Tomasek Says
rsday, May 15.1958 University Daily Kansan
The recent goodwill tour of Nixon was a mistake, said Robot of political science.
Mr. Tomasek said the trip to the Latin American countries was poorly timed because "when the United States is in a recession, the Latin American countries' export prices decline and they're hurt."
The recent overthrow of Venezuela Perex Jimenez also hurt the chances of a successful tour in that country. Mr. Tomasek explained that the United States, although they have never openly supported a dictator, do not differentiate between dictatorships and democracies in Latin America.

Pamphlet Written On County Government
The dual role of county government in Kansas, that of being units of self-government and administrative units of the state, has been examined in a 35-page pamphlet by William H. Cape, visiting professor of political science from the University of South Dakota.
South America by Vice-presidentbert D. Tomasek, assistant professor
that the leaders use these arms to keep democracy out. The U. S. government has been supplying Venezuela with arms and in the last few years even invited Jimenez to Washington where he was presented with a medal.
Jimenez was overthrown in January of this year and Mr. Tomasek said that the people who had just gotten rid of this dictator would naturally feel hostile to a government who had given him military aid and had him as a guest in the national capitol.
Number 23 in the citizens pamphlet series, the booklet is published by the Governmental Research Center. It is titled "County Government in Kansas."
He noted that the United States didn't have an open policy of supporting dictators—that the policy was to support any government that was necessary for hemispheric defense. Since the United States takes a policy of non-intervention where dictators are concerned, many Latin American countries feel that the U.S. doesn't want to help democracies.
Motorists should not drape objects on rear view mirrors, because the objects not only can distract the driver but also may obstruct his view and cause an accident.
Getting the "left-overs" after the foreign aid has been handed out has also irked the Latin American countries, Mr. Tomasek said. There is a feeling in these countries that the United States has "taken them for granted."
"I feel this is true to a certain extent," he said. "They've certainly gotten the left-overs in our foreign aid program. When we set up a Marshall Plan for Europe, Latin America wanted a similar plan, but it wasn't even considered."
Mr. Tomasek said the countries also wanted to set up a special Hemispheric bank for development of resources, but the United States had also balked on that. Latin American Income Crisis F.
Latin American Income Goes Down
Mr. Tomasek noted that in good times and in times of war, the Latin American countries get a higher than normal return from the United States for their products but when a slump comes along, the income for the Latin Americans goes down.
"It was a big blunder to send troops into the South American area," Prof. Tomasek said. "President Eisenhower took hasty action and I think it will hurt our Good Neighbor policy a great deal."

Around The World
Nixon Gets Hero's Welcome
Vice-president Richard Nixon came home today to a hero's welcome as everyone from the President to school children turned out to show their respect to a man the U.S. House of Representatives commended for "courageous and dignified conduct."
(Compiled from United Press)
President Eisenhower and top ranking officials, both Republican and Democrat, turned out to meet Nixon and his wife after their return from a South American goodwill trip that almost ended in tragedy.
Eisenhower admitted his meeting Nixon at the airport would set a precedent, but added that "because of my admiration for his calmness and fortitude and his courage in very trying circumstances, I would like to make some special gesture."
Government Workers Get Time Off
Plans for the welcome home for Nixon began to snowball after Eisenhower's press conference yesterday. Government workers were given time off to greet him as he drove with Eisenhower along Constitution Avenue to the White House. Buses were chartered and stationed at the Capitol to rush members of the House and Senate to the welcoming ceremonies at the White House.
In contrast with the treatment given to him in Latin American countries, students from colleges
in the Washington area attended Nixon's arrival at the air terminal
The vice-president and Mrs. Nixon spent the night in Puerto Rico after cutting short their visit to Caracas. Venezuela where mobs attacked them as they rode through the streets Tuesday. The Nixons left Venezuela six hours earlier than planned after rumors mounted that there would be an attempt on the life of the vice-president when he left Caracas at midnight.
Welcomed in Puerto Rico
The Nixons were greeted by a crowd of 700 when they arrived in Puerto Rico. The crowd broke through police lines to shake hands with the vice-president.
In Washington, the administration's foreign aid bill, pared only slightly by the House, landed in the Senate where it could expect gentle treatment.
The House passed the bill by a 259 to 134 vote yesterday after leaders of both parties joined in beating down efforts to trim the amount approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee.
The measure would authorize spending of $3,600,000,000 for milli-
tary and economic aid abroad during the fiscal year starting July 1. The figure was 339 million less than the administration asked.
In Paris, Gen. Charles De Gaulle, under pressure of mounting clamor for his return to power, decided to intervene today in the crisis that has brought France to the verge of civil war.
A spokesman for De Gaulle's office said a statement by the former wartime leader will be released this afternoon.
The army immediately blocked off the area. Unconfirmed reports said between 12 and 14 persons were killed.
In Cairo, the semi-official Middle East news agency said in a dispatch from Damascus that Lebanese rebels had seized the government's summer headquarters some 30 miles from Beirut.
