History Books May Forget Ike s Trip, Says Professor
By LYNDA ELYEA
President Eisenhower's recent trop to Europe and Asia probably won't be of much consequence in future history books, said Dr. Carlton Rodee. political science professor, yesterday.
Although the President’s journey didn't do any harm to the United States’ position in world politics, it is too eariy to effectively measure the results of the trip, he explained.
“It will be almost impossible to know the real influence the trip had on foreign powers.” he said. “If any countries show any warming up toward the Urtited States, we won't know whether it’s from Ike's trip or not."
No Policy Change
Foreign policies of nations ron’t generally qhange. at least radically, he said. When surveying the foreign policy of a country, one can see that approximately thp samp idpas have been followed through the years.
“Personal diplomacy, such as Eisenhower’s sparkling personal-itv and wide smile, may help a little, but I don't th'nk we c»n pxppct a big charge in policy in any of the countries he visited," Dr. Rodee said.
He gave, as an obvious example of his statement, France’s General Charles DeGaulle’s reaction to Eisenhower’s visit.
“The conferences between Eisenhower and DeGaulle may have warmed up tin temperatures of France to the United States, but the prime min’s er certainly didn't change his opinion«; or policy.” Dr. Rodee said.
“We can see another better ex-

I ample in Khrushchev’s visit to the United States. Although he made an impression in this country, he didn't manage to create any great idea changes," fte added.
Undoubtedly, the most significant event during the Eisenhower trip was the President’s reception in India, Dr. Rodee said.
“However, again, we cannot determine the eventual outcome of such a favorable reaction to our President.”
He reminded that immediately
Capriccio' Ducats Sell

Tickets will be sold all of this week until the performance.
before Eisenhower’s visit to India,. Red China invaded the In-I dian borders.
“This fierce attack jolted India/! and Nehru considerably, so naturally the West was received with more enthusiasm than it may have been otherwise,” Dr. Rodee said.
Ike’s Welcome “It is encouraging to know the. the spontaneous reception given to Eisenhower in India j could not have been rigged by the country’s leaders.”
The warm feeling which the ! President created in India gives i another distinct advantage to the Western powers. Dr. Rodee explained It is a good beginning of Indian orientation toward the j West.
Dr. Rodee wonders whether the results which may come from Eisenhower's trip to Eu-rcoe and Asia will be worth the efforts put into it.
‘‘Such a trip must have been | exhausting to the President. While he seems to have survived ! the strenuous exertion in good shape, the trip had to be quite a ; strain on him.”
Final effects of the trip are vague and will remain so for nuite some time, Dr. Rodee said. He doesn't feel that the people of the United States have any reason to be “starry-eyed,” but he thinks the trip cannot be classified as a failure.

Anti-Semitism No Shock to SC Instructor
“I'm not surprised that an anti-Semitic flareup has broken out in Germany, or even in other parts of the world.”
These are the words of Ivan J. Kubanis, a visiting instructor in political science who was in Europe doing research in 1954-
55.
He made the statement in reference to the swastikas which are appearing in West Germany, Australia and even New York City.
“When I was in Germany I felt that the Hitler regime was still prevalent in many places," Kubanis said. “These feelings are deep-seated attitudes which have been, and will probably be for some time, a facet of German culture.”
Nazi Swastika The outbreak of anti-Semitism began December 24 of last year. Unidentified raiders began smearing synagogues, public buildings and Jewish homes with Nazi swastikas and slogans denouncing Jews.
No real reasons for the upsurge of hate against Jew's have been determined yet.
“I think there is still deep feeling against Jewish people in some parts of Germany, as there must be in every country,” Kubanis said.
Australian Flareups “However, I believe some of the flareups in Australia and New York could be plain hooliganism — the work of troublemakers and crackpots.”
Jewish and government leaders are undecided about reasons for the appearance of the swastikas. Some believe it may be a resurgence of Naziism. while others are of the same opinion as Kubanis.
Eight countries in Western Europe have been struck by the campaign. Last weekend Hitler symbols were painted on three synagogues in Newr York City, including Temple Emanu-El on Fifth ave.
German Opinion W’est German government officials are of the opinion that the hate campaign is a plan to “discredit the West German republic abroad.” Hints that Communists may be behind the situation are floating around.
Demonstrators have not come out in the open in any place except West Berlin, where police broke up a group of 25 students who raised the Hitler flag and sang Nazi songs in a rally Saturday night in a park.
The anti-Jewish vandals have been very active in Austria. The word “Jew's” was smeared on a Vienna synagogue and swastikas were plastered in several cities and towns.
Windows Smashed The “plague” even spread to London when windows were smashed in two Jewish buildings —one a newspaper office—early Sunday morning.
A stone was thrown through a window of a synagogue at St. Kilda, just outside Melbourne, Australia, yesterday morning.
Other anti-Semitic actions were'reported in Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Italy and France.
West German government officials admitted they w-ere worried about the outbreak, which began Christmas Eve with the desecration of a new' synagogue in Cologne.
New York
The chief rabbi of the New York Fifth ave. temple said he thought of the smearers as “just individuals with twisted and distorted minds who derive savage delight from participating in a kind of chain reaction of antisocial behavior.”
Other temple leaders expressed opinions that more incidents will undoubtedly occur, but that they would “soon blow over.” “We are deluding ourselves if we don’t face the fact that this is a serious problem,” Kubanis said. “Such deep-seated feelings as are being displayed in Germany will be difficult to control.
“I would hesitate to say that the feelings are too far-reaching into other countries, but, of course. Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semitics have spread throughout the world,” he declared.

Jury Probe Stirs New Tough Policy
By RON KIBBY
Daily Trojan Managing Editor
Rowites are getting no sympathy today from either police or SC officials under a joint pact to crack down on fraternity row for all law violations.

SC Receives $593,000 For Scholars
SC received more than $593.-000 in gifts and grants during the month of November, presi-I dent Norman Topping announced
today.
Student aid funds, which totalled almost $118.000 proved to be the largest portion of the award fund, Dr. Topping said.
More than $85.000 of the student scholarship money went to the School of Medicine as a result of the recent benefit premiere of the movie, “Ben-Hur.”
Grants for instructional purposes amounted to more than $136.000. Dr. Topping added. Research Grants totalled almost $256,000.
These educational and research grants included almost $38.000 to Dr. Edw’ard J. Stain-brook. head of the psychiatry department; more than $76,000 to Dr. Malcolm Stinson, dean of the School of. Social Work, for special educational programs; and almost $20.000 was granted to Dr. Lucien Bavetta. biochemist. for dental research.
Medical research projects received a total grant close to SI 34.000. noted Dr. Topping. These grants included some $95.-000 to Dr. Jessie Marmorston for heart disease studies; $17.500 to Dr. Frederick J. Moore for vocational rehabilitation work; more than $11.000 to Dr. Donald W. Visser for cpneer research and about $10.000 to Dr. Hueh Edmondson, pathologist, as a fellowship for Dr. Jomn D. Reid who will come here from Australia for a year.
Puppet Show To Entertain
Llords' Puppets will entertain members of Town and Gown today at 12:15 p.m. in the organization’s Foyer here.
The puppets will soon leave on a tour of this country and abroad to appear with symphony orchestras.
Greeting members and guests at the door will be Mmes. Herbert Freston of Beverly Hills and Arnold Eddy of Los Angeles assisted by Mmes. William O. Hunter and Earle V. Grover, both of Los Angeles.
dent in charge of student affairs; the full membership of the Police Commission, Police Chief Parker and members of his staff met last month to aei-ee on the new “get tough" policy.
“The various off-campus organizations and the intra-fra-ternitv council will be notified that the police will take the normal prosecutive procedure that they would take anywhere else if acts are committed against the law.
“We will do our best to see
an improvement in the already present cooperation between the university and the police,” said 1 President Topping.
The Police Commission issued | a statement which said:
“The objective of the meeting was the further strengthening of the cooperation existing be-, tween the University of Southern California and the police de-J partment in a common endeavor to carry out the grand jury's j recommendation.”
Long Antagonism
In its report the Grand Jury, probing the death of Richard Swanson who died in a fraternity pledging ceremony, said that there is not only a long-stand-j ing lack of cooperation, hut also i antagonism between police and the residents of fraternity row | and that this condition probably interferred with rescue operations to save Swanson's life.
“Positive action by police and university authorities is required ! to eradicate this condition . . the Grand Jury suggested.
Topping indicated that the new police - university program will not only guard against repetitions of the hazing tragedy j but will crack down on all law violations.
He said he had requested police to carry on prosecutions for i law breaking on the Row the same as in any other part of | the city.
Fonthall Season
Police reports show that several incidents of law- violation,
| some involving serious violence,
! break out in the fraternity area every football season.
The most recent incident occurred after the SC-UCLA foot-| ball game in November.
A mob of SC students reportedly surrounded the automobile of a UCLA man and smashed in the windows. A police car sent to the scene also was damaged by the students.
There have been numerous cases of students starting bonfires in the street without permission. Usually, firemen stand by until the fires burn out rather than try to extinguish them and precipitate a riot.
Dr. Topping said the incidents on fraternity row were “not unusual” and that he based this conclusion on his long time vice presidency of the University of Pennsylvania.
“I'm quite sure we can resolve our problems.” he said.
The President added that the property on fraternity row' does not belong to the university, that some is owned outright by various fraternities and other pieces of property are still in private ownership.
Unions Victorious in Strike Settlement, Says Professor
Labor unions won a clear-cut victory in the settlement of the longest and costliest steel strike in United States history and the officials of the Republican party who negotiated the agreement have been thrown into the spotlight as never before, declared an SC economics professor yesterday.
Dr. Roy L. Garis, calling the agreement a very “constructive settlement” of the slx-month-long battle, said he lielieVes that it w ill not only raise steelwork- I crs’ wages, but is important to | America because it “boosted Vice President Nixon and Labor : Secretary James Mitchell into: the national spotlight for work- j ing out the plan through which the settlement was made.”
“Reaching an agreement on
the steel strike also boosted the
Republican party a great deal,”
he said. “This will convince
many people that the Republican v
party is not necessarily the party of big business.”
Nixon and the Republicans must do this to keep political strength, he added.
“They must prove that the GOP is for average working men, not solely for big business men,” Dr. Garis emphasized.
Another important result of the settlement was that it revived confidence throughout the whole economy, noted the SC professor.
“It should result in a substantial increase in the market prices%of stocks,” he said. "The year 1960 should be a good one now.”
“Settling he steel dispute also showed the way to settling many other major labor disputes such as the upcoming railroad contract,” Dr. Garis said.
Now other industries can follow the precedent set by the steel industry.
. The whole dispute proved that ! increased wages are not the on-I ly cause of inflation,” Dr. Gris added. “Inflation continued even I when the strike began last June and 600.000 steelworkers weren i working at all.”
, “The boost earned by Nixon and the Republican party could kick-back if steel prices should go up as a result of the agree-i ment,” noted the economics pro-1 fessor. “Then Nixon would b« blamed —- but that's the risk.
The steel industry promised not to raise prices temporarily, however, “but that doesn't mean ! they won't go up after a while,” he added.
Another danger is increased inflation, he said. If the higher wages of the steelworkers cause | steel prices to go up, in order to meet higher prices, other workers would also demand wage increases. Thus, prices would go I up in many industiies w ith in-I creased inflation resulting.
