Atomic Arms Seen As 'Greatest Threat'
The greatest threat to world peace today is the arming of West Germany and other small nations with atomic weapons. That's the opinion of Edward Kmiecik, first secretary of the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Kmiecik, who will speak on "The Disarmament Problem, a Polish View" at 8 p.m. today in Bailey Audtiorium, said in an interview today. "The atomic club should be closed." with only the United States and Russia holding membership.
"What would have happened in the Suez crisis if Nasser had had atomic bombs?" Mr. Kmieick asked.
EDWARD KMIECIK
He showed Poland's concern about West Germany when he said West Germany doesn't recognize the western Polish frontier, and is "turning militaristic again."
Mr. Kmiecik has been with the Polish diplomatic service since January 1957. Before that time he was a newspaperman, a foreign correspondent for Polish newspapers in Germany and France from 1936 to 1939 and editor of various Polish newspapers and the Polish Radio.
The greatest hope for world peace, Mr. Kmieciak said, is to relieve atomic fears, and then start improving trade and cultural relations between East and West. Once atomic control and disarmament has been agreed upon, the rest will come much easier, he said.
He pointed out that Poland is against both the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact, believing that they increase world tensions rather than relieve them.
The Warsaw Pact was formed as a reaction to NATO, Mr. Kmiiecik said, but Poland's aim in foreign policy is to lessen the tension between the two pact organizations.
Poland's trade is oriented among the Socialist countries, partly because of embargoes by the West, Mr. Kmiecik said.
The planned economy of Poland does work, and "we feel it's the only way" possible, he said, since after World War II the state was the only force which could do the work of rebuilding.
The goal of the present Polish 5-year plan is to increase the standard of living by 30 per cent, he said.
Under the Communist system. Poland has increased its steel production four times, coal three times, and electric power five times, Mr. Kmieck said.
Poland is showing an increased interest in American culture, Mr Kmiecik said, and has made arrangements with a U.S. government agency for American books, records, and films to be sold in Poland. At present, Poland has received 125 American films in the first shipment.
Senior Activities Now At Holcomb's
Games for senior class day, originally scheduled at the intramural fields, will be held at Holcomb's Grove. The games will begin at 3:30 today followed by the annual senior picnic.
'Dream Team Is Organized
All-America center Wilt Chamberlain was said to be "out of town" this morning when The Daily Kansan attempted to get in touch wit hhiim to check out the latest report of his leaving KU.
The call was made after a Dr. Sam Mossnifer, Seattle, Wash. psychologist, said today he had lined up 11 college basketball stars such as Elgin Baylor of Seattle and Bob Boozer of Kansas State for a 26-game European tour "on a purely amateur basis."
This was in direct conflict with reports former KU coach "Phog" Allen said he had received.
Mr. Allen, the man considered responsible for bringing Chamberlain to KU, said he understood Chamberlain had been offered $40,000 to play with Dr. Mossafer's "dream team." Mr. Allen termed reports Chamberlain would leave KU "authoritative."
Dr. Mossafer, however, said, "I want to emphasize that all the players would get are travel expenses plus a plaque of some kind."
If Chamberlain were to take the tour, he would be washed up as far as playing basketball at KU. Big Eight rules forbid summer basketball. It was announced yesterday that the AAU would not sanction such a tour either.
Assistant basketball coach Jerry Waugh said this morning that Chamberlain had not said anything about leaving, at least to anyone in the basketball office.
"We know Wilt well enough to know that if and when he decides anything, we'll be the first to know about it." Waugh said.
