May 10, 1957 Beyond the Square ... THE SALEMlTE Page Three In The White House We will be seeing a lot more of tke in the coming months. Men around the President have con vinced him that he will have to tight hard to have his plans ap proved by Congress. He plans to appeal directly to the people and count on his personal popularity and influence to get his ideas across. If he can sell the public .on these ideas it will be no trick to sell Congress. A major speech on TV will be coming up soon. A whole series of short TV talks is being plan ned. They will concentrate on the foreign program and mainly for-. ciCTii aid. Mr. Eisenhower will ap pear more and more at luncheons and other gatherings, making offi the-cuff speeches, which will be picked up by radio and TV. In Congress Let’s see what people are saying to their Congressmen on the pre sent issues. Government spending IS the big issue. Many people are clamoring for economy. Foreign aid seems to be the chief complaint of those who want economy in Government. Some are demanding tax cuts, but most people want any budget savings applied first to a reduction in the public debt. The civil-rights question is hot in the South and some big cities of the North, but it is getting little atten tion elsewhere. Postal rates ara I Scott Crossfield, 35-year-old test pilot, has been chosen to fly the X-IS. This is the rocket-powered research plane being built at the North American Aviation factory in California. The flight will pro bably be made next year—4,000 miles an hour and some 100 miles above the earth! The highway program is going on schedule but there is trouble ahead. Officials are certain now that it will take far more than the 13 years and 28 billion dollars for the 41,000 miles of superhighways that were promised by this plan. Latest tax estimates show the Fed eral Government will need IS years instead of 13 to raise the money. Construction costs are more than 12 per cent above costs estimated at the beginning of the program. The necessary steel is scarce and disputes over buying land for rights of way is slowing down building. The Americans Next month New England Poet Robert Frost, 82, will be given honorary degrees by both Cam bridge and Oxford, He is one of the few Americans to be so honored in recent times. Other Americans to receive this double distinction are Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1868 and James Russell Lowell in 1873. This, week one of the season's most widely discussed books is be ing published. It is “In the Court rarely mentioned to Congressmen j of Public Opinion” by .Alger Hiss, -and school aid seems to be fading j In his book, Hiss repeats his' con- as an issue across the country. } tention that he is innocent and sup- Abroad Soviet engineers are quite con cerned over the success of uraniurn prospecting in the U.

At Home There is growing concern among U. S. military forces about the Communist build-up in North Korea. A supply of modern wea pons is going to the forces there. We interpret the 1953 armistice as banning the most up-to-date wea pons. As usual- the Communists don’t see things as anyone else. The General Assembly' of the ■Presbyterian Church of the U. S., an important cfiurch body of the South, has taken a strong stand against ' racial segregation. This group approved a 4,000-word docu ment that denounced racial dis crimination in public schools, churches, public meeting places, ■and employment. Churchgoers were warned against joining the Ku Klux Klan or any councils engag ing. in violence. Last v/eek the 28,000 mile system of telephone lines for notifjdng U.

This network runs from the Continental Air De fense Command headquarters at Colorado .Springs, Colo, to 200 key Colorado Springs, Colo., to 200 key From these points lines fan out to neighboring communities.

Men, the “weake^sex” may have to start crying if they want to livq longer, says Dr. James Bond of the Florida Board of Health. Men need to learn from women how to avoid emotional tension or to deal with it in less damaging ways than development of cornary artery disease. —Sue Cooper Calendar Dr. Spencer Welcomed By Majors May Day Weekend means the pageant, the Court, the dance, the re-unions. This year the happiest reunion occurred outside Dr. Af rica’s 10:20 U. S. and World' Af fairs class. The junior and senior history majors all dashed out, and there stood Dr. Warren Spencer. After the preliminary hand shakes and “how are you’s” and after Dr. Lewis had joined us. Dr. Spencer suggested that we all go to the drug store for one of those famous; coffee gatherings. After stopping on second floor of Main Hall and greeting Mrs. Spencer, the five of us (Terry Har mon, also visiting; Anne Fordham, Mary Ann Hagwood, Celia Smitli, and Kay Williams), the Spencers, Dr. Lewis, and Mr. Wendt moved our re-union over to the drug store. Over our coffee and cigarettes, we had a long talk with Dr. and Mrs. Spencer. They are living in Norfolk, Va., where Dr. Spencer is teaching at an extension of Wil liam and Mary College. Dr. Spencer told us about form ing a history society on campus; and how they meet at the students’ homes for dinner and discussion. He aiso has plans for forming a chapter of Phi Alpha Theta. Mrs. Spencer told us that Dr. Spencer is doing the things he has always wanted to do—write and lecture. He has been giving lec tures and writing since they movecf to Norfolk. Dr. Spencer let us in on the best’ news, however, when he told us about Dr. Case, the foremost European historian in the U. S., asking him to collaborate on a book. We not only caught up on all the news about the Spencers but -we also got in on some of the Lewis- Spencer philosophy, which has been missed at Salem this year. As we left the drug store Dr. and Mrs. Spencer agreed that they had missed Salem as much as Salem had missed them. We all agreed not to wait so long again to see each other; even if we had to go to Norfolk. , —Mary Ann Hagwood The engagement of Miss Elizabeth Louise Hamner, daughter of William Hamner and the late Mrs. Hamner, to Wallace Deane Taylor, son of the Rev. and Mrs, Jacqueline Plummer Taylor is announced by her father. The wedding will be held at Centenary Methodist Church in August. Dean Receives Dedication “To Dean Amy R.
