BIG STICK—PAST AND PRESENT
President Dwight D. Eisenhower came pretty close
to sounding like Teddy Roosevelt at one of his recent
press conferences. A reporter asked him at a confer
ence whether he agreed with Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson that there had been too much sabre
rattling on the part of Americans recently.
The President did not associate himself with Wil
son’s exact words; what he said was that he knew
what Wilson meant. He said he agreed with his
defense secretary that there was no need for Americans
to tell the world what they would do if this or that
happened, or brag about their capabilities.
Then Ike recalled his days is commander of the
Allied armies in Europe during World War II. He said
that during that campaign he never once put out any
boastful statements about what he planned to do to the
enemy. When the time came for something to be done,
however, Ike said he assembled the force necessary
to do the job and did it.
That is the way, said the President, that U.S.
foreign policy should be handled. We should be about
our tasks quietly and with efficiency, Eisenhower told
reporters. We should be strong and possess the strength
to meet all possible contingencies.
If we do this, we need not boast to all the world
how powerful we are—or what we might do in case
of trouble. We will move along quietly and take
whatever action is necessary at the time, the President
said.
And that comes pretty close to saying that the best
policy for the United States to follow in the field of
foreign affairs today is walk softly and carry a big
sRck. President Eisenhower, in this summary of his
philosophy, shows a strinking resemblence to the philo
philosophy of the late Theodore Roosevelt—another
military man who rose to the rank of commander-in
chief.
The two-dollar bill used to have a bad reputation,
but today it is the only one that will pay for a dollar’s
worth of anything.
In the old days if a father found his son on the
wrong track, he provided switching facilities.
Dulles Blasts Molotov Plan
To Leave Austria Only
After Germany Unity
BERLIN, UP—Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles declared to
day Russia refuses to get out of
Austria because it would mean
withdrawing her troops from
Hungary and Romania. He im
plied that he thought Moscow had
reason to fear the consequences of
such a move.
Dulles ripped into Soviet For
eign Minister V. M. Molotov for
his proposal to grant Austrian in
dependence only with a proviso
that Soviet and other occupation
troops remain on Austrian soil
until Germany is unified, which
now appears in the far distant fu
ture. The secretary took up the
cudgels for Austria after Vienna’s
Foreign Minister Leopold Figl,
appearing before the Berlin Big
Four conference, formally rejec
ted the Soviet plan.
To accept Russia’s idea, Dulles
said, would be to expose the Uni
ted States before the world as
“morally and politically bank
rupt.”

ing as the guest of Secretary of
the Treasury Humphrey.

Ministers Plan Full
Slate This Week

ming with activity this week with
a full schedule of preaching ser
vices for every night by visiting
ministers.
The week started off with the
dedication of the new parsonage
yesterday, followed by an open
house at the parsonage, with Dr.
Gordon Gould, who heads Metho
dist work in the territory, partici
pating. The dedication has been
delayed pending Dr. Gould’s arri

First Pictures Red
Heavy Bombers
Printed by Air Mag
WASHINGTON, on — Aviation
Week magazine published Sunday
what it said are the free world’s
first photographs of Russia’s new
est heavy bombers, the six-engine
Tupolev 200 and the four-engine
Ilyushin 38.
Both planes are swept - wing
turboprop types — that is, they
have jet engines driving propel
lors. This means that they are
faster than piston-engine aircraft,
and have a much longer range
than pure-jet bombers.
From the photographs the TU
200, with its long slender fuselage
and its swept wings, resembles
the B-36, which has six piston
engines and four jet engines.
In Russia the TU-200 is known
colloquially as the “Amerika.”
Aviation Week said the Ilyu
shin 38 compares in size with the
eight-jet Boeing B-52.
The magazine said the pictures
came from secret sources “behind
the iron curtain.” It also said it
has reports that more than 400
of the new planes are based in
the northern provinces of Soviet
Russia, across the polar icecap
from the North American con
tinent.
“Reconnaissance versions have
made routine observation flights
at extreme altitude above the Al
askan and Canadian defense peri
meter,” the magazine said.
The magazine said the photo
graphs show that Red philosophy
on bomber defense differs from
current U.S. thinking—that Rus
sian armament engineers appear
to cling to the B-29 World War
II system of remote - controlled
gunnery.
Because of the “drag” of gun
turrets, new U.S. jet planes rely
on speed, and defend only the
tail with guns.
The pictures show that five re
motely - controlled turrets on the
TU-200 are located much like
those on B-29 bombers, and pro
bably contain two 20 mm. cannon
each.
