World Institute Discusses Diplomatic, War Changes
t	By	BOBBI	ZAN'E
and HIND A SCHORR
% With an eye toward the future of international relations, speak-'f ers at SC’s 36th Institute of World Affairs explored the < "changing; shape of war and di-) plomacy” during the third series of institute meetings yester-i day.
| A substantial group — about | twice as many people as on i Monday — filled the ballroom of the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena to hear keynote speakers describe crisis diplomacy and balance of terror as the emerging concepts guiding today and tomorrow's international politics.
Terror Balance The United States and Russia have reached a “balance of terror" where each possesses the capability of wiping out the other and the rest of the world, Henry S. Aurand Jr., member of the Technical Military Planning Operation of the General Electric Co., told the institute. Full-scale war has been made | impossible by this balance. Au-| rand declared, because the mu-| tual possession of nuclear weapons provides a deterrent for both sides.
“The defense system can not be good enough to meet and defeat present and future weapon power,” he said.
Defense Unknown
He pointed out that even now there is no known defense for ballistic missiles or the initial , shock and subsequent world-j wide fallout of nuclear weapons.
“A nation with true world-| wide suicide capabilities would never have to face war,” he continued.
This balance of terror will j tend to bring about limited war-: fare, but ultimately, limited war will not be feasible because of the fear that it would break in-! to world war, Aurand maintained.
Foreign Diplomacy
Two speakers discussed the current importance of foreign diplomacy at the afternoon session.
Graham H. Stuart of Stanford University told his audience that the “Russian menace” has caused “the most serious world situation in history.”
He said effective diplomacy is the basis of foreign policy decision-making but that “democracy is a handicap to diplomacy.”
This is true, he said, because there is no centralization of authority; policy makers must yield to public opinion:	the
United States can not engage in false prosperity as does Russia and; the Government is restricted by its checks and balances system.
Impatience to Act
The fault in U.S. foreign policy-making rests in “our own indecision and our simultaneous impatience to act,” Stuart said.
Merrill R. Goodall of the Claremont Graduate School said that a major foreign policy problem is Americans working for the government in other countries who do not know what to

Grand Jury Will Reveal Swanson Decision Today
The much-awaited Grand Jury decision on the hazing death of Kappa Sig pledge Richard Swanson will be given today after being postponed because of further investigation.
Charles F. Van de Water, jury foreman, has announced that the results of the recent grand Jury investigation, held because of conflicting testimonies at the corner’s in-qust, will be revealed this morning.
A decision was promised yesterday, but the jury has been conducting an investigation on last week’s valley shooting of underworld figure Jack Whalen.
Van de Water has indicated that the jury will probably not indict anyone although he revealed that disagreement among jury members did exist.
Swanson, 21-year-old pre-dental student, died Sept. 17 during a fraternity initiation rite.
A coroner's inquest concluded that no one was criminally responsible for his death.
However, complaints from Dr. Arthur Swanson, the dead student's father, led to a special investigation by the Grand Jury.
! The 1959 edition of Accident j Facts, published by the National Safety Council, reports that ! of the 15 million licensed drivers in the 16-25 age bracket, 12,400 of them were involved in a fatal accident in 1958. This number represents 28.2 of the total number of drivers who were involved in a fatal accident that year and 18.4 per cent of the total drivers of that age group.
In 1958 the 16-25 age group’s accident index ratio of per cent of accidents to per cent of drivers) was 1.60. The average index was 1.00 and a ratio larger than this indicates poor accident experience. The young-driver group topped all other accident indexes for the other groups.
Young Driver*
The traffic accident records for young drivers reveal that in accidents in which the car ran off the roadway on a rural road, drivers under 20 years of age had an accident involvement index six times higher than the average for all drivers.
For drivers of other ages, their indexes for this type of accident compared with the average as follows:	20-24-years-old,	twice
the average: 25-34-years-old. average; 65 years and over, average; 35-64-years old, half the average.
An interesting trend in the re-
lationship of sex of the driver to traffic accidents was also noted in the National Safety Council pamphlet.
“Related to the number of drivers of each sex, males have a sharply higher involvement rate than females, although the rates for males have been im-pi'oving, while the rates for females have been getting worse,” stated the pamphlet.
This turn of events seems to dispel the much-debated statement that women are better drivers than men.
The NSC booklet explains that a considerable part of the differ-
ence in rates between male and female drivers undoubtedly is due to the fact that male drivers average more miles than women drivers.
Commercial Drivers
Nearly all commercial vehicles are driven by men frequently 20.000 miles or more annually —and even the family passenger car is more frequently driven on long trips by men than by women.
Tine pamphlet reported that the average miles driven in 1958 for both men and women was about 8.100.

Government workers must be armed with data which will enable them to anticipate problems. make policy decisions and look ahead. Goodall continued.
Language Helps Learning foreign language helps, he said, but it is no substitute for integrity, straightforwardness and policy science.
Warm Weather Breathes Life Into Dormant Trees
Demo Club Slates Meet
Joseph Cerrell, former SC student and leading young Democrat. will speak to members of the Trojan Democratic Club at 2:15 today in 107 FH on political possibilities for young people within the party.

“He is considered one of the leading young politicians in the West,” said Bob Chick, club president.
Cerrell has also served as campaign manager for Assemblyman Jesse Unruh and field representative for Governor Pat Brown. ,
It may be the age of the trees, but old-timers at SC prefer to believe that it is the recent sumnier-like weather, that has caused a row cf trees on the campus to bear fruit
and flowers for the first time in at least 22 years.
The trees are identified by Mrs. Tema Clare, assistant professor of botany, as Koelreuteria bipinnata.
They have no common name, although a similar species is known as the goldenrain tree.
The trees are found in East Asia and various parts of China, Formosa and Japan.
On the campus the trees line the walk, running diagonally across a little park opposite Doheny Library at 35th place and Hoover blvd..
The trees are more than 20 feet high, and their flowers are bright yellow with a small purple spot at the base of each petal.
Rich flower is rather small, but they occur In large showy terminal panicles some ieet long. The fruits are a papery bladder-like capsule about 2*2 inches long in shades of red, purple and tan, which contain three black seeds when mature.
