Washington News Washington, D. C. -r-The new i United States President did not i C leave Vienna and bis meeting with ; Russian Premier Nikita Khrush chev a beaten or outmaneuvet-ed man. Not even the President himself knows what the eventual outcome ! of his conference with Khrushchev i will be, and thus the whole world * ! wonders whether the relationship i between these two men will affect the course of history 10 ? benefici al degree. As of right now, President Ken nedy is credited with one certain accomplishment He conducted a public relations campaign in Eu rope which won support for him ?elf and hi* country. As the young tad handsome President of the moat powerful democracy In the world, and a young democracy, Kennedy waa a (ood personifica tion and a good advertisement. Hia wife also created a (tory like impression Of course, the clean-cut and youthful appearance of the United States President waa an advantage In the public rela tione field, especially since he was pitted against a tough, older man ? against whom the world al ready has grievances. The pictures of the two men, flashed all over the world and seen by millions, many who can't read, evoke a sympathetic response POWERCRUISER A truly "modem" passenger tire . . . designed and engi neered for modern driving demands and DESIQNEO FOR NYLON CORDI The Powarcruisar was designed to take full advantage of the tremendous strength of nylon and to transfer that strength into a long-wearing, economi cal tire.

This advantage was one' generally unappreciated and qb calculated by many at the fernigc policy and propaganda experts. The bigger question, though, is whether Kennedy convinced Khrushchev, that concessioas should be made by the Red leader so that progress might be achiev ed in lessening world tension. There is little indication any pro gress was made along this line. Rather, the indication seems to be that Khrushchev hopes he can entice Kennady into concessions. If he cannot, he may open up on the new American President as roughly aa he cas tigs ted former President Eisenhower. There are hints that President Kennedy might be invited to the Soviet Union and the President might achieve much good there if the Russians agree to allow him to talk over television ? as Khrush chev did in the United States? and if his words are translated. (That was the trick played on Vice President Nixon when he was In Moscow ? his talk waa ? televised but his words were not translat ed!' At the least, a Berlin crisis for 1961 seems to hsve been averted. And it msy be that some benefit will result from the 1981 meeting. The fact that there were no threats, harsh works and denuncia tions is something. The grest ques tion which tantalizes Americsns is whether Khrushchev genuinely wants a reapproachment with the United States, being concerned over the growing power and mili tancy of Red China, and militants lat home, or whether all this is a carefully-laid plan to build up hopes and create an impression, as a prelude to more expansion.

Greene, who has been called from the walks of life and from the ranks of our disting uished Fraternal Order to that Ce lestial City above where the Su preme Architect of the Universe reigns. As the shadows lengthen and the beautiful rays of the set ting sun are reflected across the evening sky, it reminds us of a t and glorious. morning which follow the darkness. Thus with our earthly life, the day pass es, the evening comes, but just beyond, the night breaks in the dawning of everlasting life. Not for the dead in Christ we weep, Their sorrows ndw are o'er; The sea is calm, the tempest past. On that eternal shore. Their peace Is sealed, their rest is sure Within that better home; Awhile we weep and linger here, Then follow to the tomb. Our slncerest sympathy is ex tended to those nearest and dearest to Brother John W. Greene. Be it therefore resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be writ, ten in our minutes, a copy sent to the "Watauga Democrat" for pub lication therein, and a copy to the family. Fraternally submitted, Members Snow Lodge Number 363 A. F. * A. M. Get Degrees At Pardue U. Lafayette, Ind. ?
