Most observers today rati t it just couldn’t and wouldn’t onalize that war would be too horrible for anybody. deliberately to start. But with troops and nuclear weapons actually mobilized on a war basis by both sides in the vicinity: of Berlin, a tragic incident could be precipitated at any moment. ; Secretary Dultes has just said te the NATO coun- ell in Paris: “I am quite certain the Soviet Union will not risk war over Berlin. Theretere we can proceed with confidence.” - But it’s Khrushchev’s game to make the western Allies think he will stop at nothing For several weeks now th ernment officials here and in to get them out of Berlin. e inside talk among high gov- United Nations circles in New York has emphasized one comment: “The Soviets are getting tougher than ever before.” * * The technique of “toughness” * is a familiar one in diplomacy. Dictatorships use it shrewdly as a means of bar- gaining. It is not at all risky to be tough with democracies —they are resilient to the influences of a public opinion which, wishing to avoid war at all costs, gives the impres- sion of being willing to “negotiate” almost everything. This often implies a possible surrender, One of the reasons why Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is so unpopular with the appeasers and peace-at-any-price exponents is that, through a life- time of experience in diplomacy, he knows softness is dangerous and, in the end, would bring on the very war that everyone wanted to prevent. Dulles will be remembered in history as the “man with _guts” who stood up to the Communists everywhere. He was jumped upon a few months partisanly political when he Communists in the Far East, Quemoy-Matsu episode. * Events since have proved * ago by the timid and the stood up courageously to the refusing to be bluffed on the * . he was right. The Communists didn’t dare to precipitate a Far Eastern war. Little is being said now of the Dulles triumph in that part of the world, but it is the significant happening of the year 1958 in the irternationa] field. BERLIN IS A SYMBOL 2 It is worth noting, incidentally, that some of the Demo- cratic senators who could not understand what Quemoy meant as a symbol of freedom in the Far East are today saying with respect to Berlin that it cannot be surrendered because it is a symbol of freedom to Western Germany’s republic.

Most of the victims were women. Almost all were suffocated or trampled in the panic which raced through the crowds of Christmas shoppers. The fire raged for two hours before being brought under con- trol. Most of the deaths occurred on a stairway which part of the erowd took in the belief they had found a way out. Instead they were trapped en a mez- zanine. Seventy-five of the dead had been identified early today. Half of them were employes of the store.

Mayor Phllip E. Rowston was empowered last night to appoint a committee of commissioners to study possible legislation. The motion for action was made by Commissioner Floyd P. Miles, who strongly opposed Sun- day business. . Federal Pia era Store has been open t two Peo che ke rate A oN sons,” said Manager Morton Meeron. John W. Hirlinger, manager of the Pontiac Area Chamber of Com- merce, said several smaller stores had followed Federal’ s lead last Sunday. “The Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has gone on record strongly opposing Sunday business,” Hirlinger said. Although there is no. faw in Pon- tiac governing Sunday business, stores have generally followed a policy set up by the Chamber of Commerce by staying closed on Sunda : y. Meeron said the decision to stay open on Sunday was not a local one, but rather was effective throughout the entire Federal chain in southern Michigan. He said Sunday competition does not come from Pontiac stores, but rather from stores in fringe areas that are open on Sunday. Federal plans to be open this Sunday, he said, but whether it will be open Sundays after Christ- mas has not yet been decided. Low of 15 Expected After High of 33 The U. S. Weather Bureau pre- dicts partly cloudy and colder to- night. This morning's high tem- perature of 33 degrees at 6 a.m. fell slowly during the day. The low tonight is expected to be near 15. Tomorrow will be cloudy and with the high reaching around 25. The lowest temperature in down- town Pontiac preceding 8 a.m., was 23 degrees. The reading at 2 p.m. was 26. : The U, S.

They were told Mao would continue to head the Chinese Communist party. Few observers in Tokyo expect- ed Mao's departure from the top government post would result in any change in Red China’s basic policies, MUST TELL PEOPLE The Red Chinese leaders now face the big and delicate job of telling their people that Mao is stepping down. In telling Red China's more than 600 million persons, the- leaders have to avoid creating even the slightest implication that Mao was forced ont because of ahy errors. The 65-year-old leader of the Chinese Communist revolution has been pictured as the all-knowing guide and counselor who makes no mistakes. * * * Much of the tightly regimented structure of Red China has been built around this picture. Any clouding of the picture could cause cracks in- the Communist control system, This would be especially true if there were any hint the change involved controversy over the new commune system, which is smashing revered family tradi- tions to force people inte work camps, Foreign Minister Chen Yi, in tell- ing the diplomats of the change, admitted the Chinese people would be disturbed by the news, Chen reportedly said the decision would be announced in a way “to banish all fear and apprehension.” HE MUST ‘STUDY’ Indications are that this will be done by playing up the traditional Chinese reverence for the scholar. The people apparently will be told that Mao is relinquishing one post to devote more time to study and writing. This “back to the books’ line already has been given to Peiping correspondents for the London Daily Worker and the official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug. Yugoslav Communists said pri- vately, however, that Mao had lost influence: and power. Opin- ion was divided-:in the Yugoslav < capital whether a more moderate or more extreme faction would succeed Mao, State Department officials in Washington. were reported con- vinced that no policy change was involved and that Mao still con- trolled Red China.

(Continued From Page One) trasted with the few miles that Quemoy lies off the Red China coast. Almost every word being said generally now for holding Berlin was being said by the President and Sec- retary Dulles as an argument for holding on to Quemoy because of its importance to the cause of the Chinese Nationalists. Dulles is confident that, if the West maintains a firm policy with respect to Berlin, the Communists will be dis- suaded from precipitating a general war. Everyone here hopes he will be proved right, but the world knows little of what is back of the Khrushchev move and just what* strategy he has in mind. it is asserted, for instance, by Sen. Humphrey, Democrat, of Minnesota, who talked recently with the Soviet Premier, that the presence of the “Island of Berlin” in the middle of Iron Curtain territory is a thorn in the side of the Com- munist leaders and they want to get rid of it. But this is only another way of saying that the Soviet government con- | siders East Germany a permanent part of the Soviet Union | and that thege is no,intention ever to agree to an au- tonomous Germany unless it is in the form of a satellite like Poland. The Soviet premier undoubtedly has internal troubles and must every now and then create some tension with the outside world so as to emphasize his own supposedly heroic leadership in defying the non-Communist countries. But with so many different nationalities involved in the Soviet Union, it is difficult to see how patriotism can be ex- | ploited effectively there. Indeed in 1917, in the middle of | World War I, the Russian people and their allied national- | ities broke away from the central government, preferring a separate peace to continued support of a tyrannical regime. | Maybe if war does come, it will be the signal for revolu- tion inside Russia. Khrushchev may be a skillful demagogue but, like Hitler, he can bring the house down on himself if he risks armed conflict with the west.

Inside information comes to me that the Michigan Conservation Commission at its meeting early next month will deny mining rights in the Porcupine Moun- tains State Park. This action will be taken largely on the recommendation of Di- rector of Conservation. Gerald S. Eddy, and will mean much to the Pontiac area, although we're 600 miles from the Por- cupines. Oakland County has more state parks than any other of Michigan’s 83 counties, and it has been feared the Upper Penin- sula project might be an entering wedge, and set a precedent. Ambitious real es- tate operators and others are envious of the acreage occupied by some of the local state parks, and would grab some of it for subdividing, although the land was secured and dedicated for its present pur- pose, as was the Porcupines. This takes me back to many conversa- tions with the man who started the state park movement, the late Howard E. Bloomer, who gave much of his fortune to the plan, and induced the late 2 John and Horace Dodge to put millions into it. He repeatedly used the word “forever” in speaking of his two ideals on the subject: holding them for public use, and never making any charge for that use.. Well known by hundreds of my read- ers was the Rev. E. D. Dimond, who had preached from many pulpits in the Pontiac area. He died Monday at his home in Flint, aged 98.
