RIVERSIDE, Dec. 12 —Christmas Carols rang through Riverside's Mission Inn today, heralding "peace on earth." while ertuea-tors and government officials discussed how America can lead the way toward such world harmony.
As the 32nd annual Institute of World Affairs moved into the second day today, four university men and a counselor with the U.
[ S. Embassy in Rome told aboyt | American resources for world leadership. In addition, six panel discussions considered the specific elements that can help to promote American leadership abroad.
America Losing Military Lead
America e-an no longer claim a distinct advantage in the production of military weapons, explained Dr. Carl J. Christol, associate professor of political science, when he discussed military developments.
“It is probably neither wise nor safe to assume that any country has a very large lead over any other country in the area of super weapons," said Christol.
The SC professor predicted that the near future may produce a stalemate in the development of more powerful weapons. Therefore. Christol believes, America must perfect even more devastating weapons than the atom or the hydrogen bomb.
At one time the United States had a large lead in scientific envelopment which produces these weapons. Rut. pointed out Christol, tbe Russians are quickly catching up with America.
Through herculean effort, the Soviets are 1 raining scientists and technicians who might overthrow America military lead within a short time, he explained.
Not Producing Knoiigh Scientists
Christol expressed alarm at the growing shortage of scientists and engineers in America. He called the situation critical. America is in danger of losing the cold war in the classroom, he said.
To support his statements, Christol cited statistics. The U. S. turned out 480,000 scientists and engineers between 1928 and 1954, while the Russian* trained 682.-000. In 1954, 60rf> of the Soviet graduates were scientists, while America graduated only 8"f.
What should America do? Christol said America must encourage the training of more scientists. and must provide conditions favorable for tbe "freedom of inquiry”.
“It is mandatory that there be no sacrifice of scientists as scape-
goats by unscrupulous politicians because of different scientific or political judgments,” he declared.
Korrlirn Service Criticized
An American counselor on economic affairs, Francis Deak, discussed the U. S. foreign service. Tiie former political adviser to NATO predicted that without effective foreign service, American diplomacy abroad would become ineffective.
Deak explained that the foreign service commands little respect and is perhaps the least understood of the government branches.
“It is our first line of detense today and is as important as the soldiers who fight in the front line,” he said.
Deak blamed Congress for most of the difficulty. By not providing adequate financial support, he said, Congress clearly demonstrated that it did not understand the responsibility of the foreign service.
“W'hile one-half of the national budget, about $34 billion, is assigned to military requirements, the State Department requested only one-tenth of one percent for foreign service,” said Deak. "This was later trimmed hy Congress to $120 million for all the foreign service operations of our country."
World Government Predicted
A Stanford professor, Dr. Edgar E Robinson, said that the time will come when people the world over must give up their national loyalty.
"While world government will not happen in our life time, the triumph of internationalism will eventually emerge from today's world struggle," he said.
"Prosperity Is Troublesome”
A former head of the U. S. Census Department, Dr. Roy V. Peel, declared that America's tremendous prosperity Is becoming troublesome. Peel, present head of the School of Government at the University of Utah, believes the difficulty Is caused by technologists who have no experience in moral values and political direction.
“Conflicting national tradition and fhe mutual suspicions of men are producing grave danger,” he said. “Because the world Is more ceimpact, we can no longer remain unconcerned about the welfare of human beings in other countries.”

Thirty fraternity pledges, inde-I pendent students, and Squires launched Help Week with a Rush yesterday as they laid aside books I for brushes, garden tools and brooms to liven the surroundings of the Spastic Children’s Foundation.	„
The students washed the outside of tb'* building, painted the dining room and most of the trim in the hall, and scraped the grass off the asphalt playground.
K\pres* Appreciation John Berger, Help Week chairman. said that the administrators of the Foundation have expressed their appreciation of the work and the efforts of the students.
Help Week has superseded the regular “Hell Week” in many otiv-r universities. The purpose of Help Week is to do good for the community as well as the university.
Help Week began in 1952-and ha*
aided tiie university, the City eif I Hope and Hathaway House fori Children. Another purpose for I Help Week is to combine the fra-i ternity men and the independents in working together for a common cause
Explains Cause
“We feel thaf this year our j cause will be the most charitable because the Spastic Children's Foundation receives no donations from the Community Chest, but has to depend entirely on contributions and the slight tuition that it charges," said Be*rger. The Inter-Fraternity Council has donated $75 to the cause.
“I think we accomplished a lot yesterday,” said Berger, "but I hope we have a better turnout today.”
Berger requested that the students who signed up for today show up by 1 p.m.
