Johnson Says U.S. Ready

Red China Explodes
Radio Peking announced today that China had successfully
exploded an atomic bomb.
It was the explosive result of
's
a long drive to Mao
Red regime to join the world's
nuclear club.
The announcement was made
in a broadcast by the official New
China News Agency at 11 p.m.
10 a.m. EST.
The Chinese coupled the announcement with a long blast at
Tze-tung-

the United States and a call for a

world summit converence on prohibiting and destroying all nuclear weapons.
In a broadcast statement,
President Johnson asserted U.S.
readiness to respond to any calls
from the
countries of Asia for help against
threats or aggression thus offering them reassurance in the
face of Red China's emergence
as a beginning nuclear power.

Swedish Singing Group
To Give Concert Here
The National Swedish Chorus will perform at 8:15 p.m.
Tuesday in Memorial Coliseum in connection with the Central
Kentucky Concert and Lecture Series.
Directed by Martin Lidstam, the
male chorus from
Stockholm will perform selections from Schubert's "The Lord Is
My Shepherd," "Die Rose Stand Im Tau," Beethoven's "Meeres-stille,- "
and various Hungarian and Scandanavian dancing and
folk songs. Among these are "The Peacock," "Dana-dana,- "
and
Ac"Och jungfrun hon gar i ringen" (The girl goes

companist will be Sune Aldvik.
The Swedish Chorus (KFUM) has visited the United States
twice, once in 1906 and again in 1956. Under Lidstam, the director for the past 29 years, the chorus has toured Scandinavia, the
Middle East, Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, France, and Germany.
Founded in 1888, the male chorus is a feature of state occasions in Stockholm, including functions for visiting royalty and
heads of state.
The group is drawn from various professions, including
doctors, salesmen, barbers, detectives, teachers, contractors, printers, clergymen, bus drivers, executives, and millworkers.
"A perfectly disciplined body! The singing was full, confident, and resonant, with the free, masculine voices sounding
well together," reviewed The New York Times.
The San Francisco Examiner said the group "sang with
complete mastery of the a capella style. Its sonorities were virile
and free, as they ranged way up the scales into soft tenor falsettos
and way down to the Russian basso profundo level."
Students will be admitted by ID cards. Student wives may
secure season tickets for $5.00 from room 367 in The Craduate
School, located in the Chemistry-Physic- s
Building. No children
under school age will be admitted.

Johnson decalred that "the
Chinese
Communist
nuclear
weapons program is a tragedy for
the Chinese people" because, he
said, it diverts scarce resources
needed it other fields of activity,
and it must increase their sense
of insecurity.
So far as the impact on the
world generally is concerned,
Johnson said that many years and
much difficult effort will be required before the Chinese obtain
a stockpile of nuclear weapons
and a delivery capability.
The explosion today, timed at
about 3 a.m. Washington time,
gives "no reason to fear that it
could lead to immediate danger of
war," Johnson said.
Similarly, a British Foreign
Office spokesman said in London
that the Red Chinese explosion
makes no immediate difference in
the strategic balance between
East and West.
"The Chinese may have a
bomb at last but they have still
a long way to go before they find
a means of delivery," the British
spokesman said.

MOSCOW AP-T- he
era of Nikita Sergeivich Khrushchev is ended. He has resigned as first secretary of the
Soviet Communist party and as
premier, authoritative sources
said Thursday night.
Two of the lieutenants he has
most trusted are replacing him
Leonid Brezhnev in the key post
of party secretary and Alexei
Kosygin as premier.
The announcement that Brezhnev, 57, had replaced Nikita
Khrushchev as first secretary of
the Soviet Communist party signalled a major transition in
Soviet history.
For the first time in the
reign of the Soviet Communist Party, the top job went
to a man whose only contacts
with Czarist Russia and the 1917
revolution were childhood memories.

Ami, also for the first time, a
member of the Soviet Union's
rising new class of technicians
reached the pinnacle of power.
Brezhnev, trained by the party as an engineer, worked in the
steel industry for a time; but
gave it up ami rose to the top
Communist party
through
ranks.
A
ruggedly
handsome man, Brezhnev had
been viewed as Khrushchev's heir
apparent since he stepped down
from the figurehead job of Soviet
president in July to move in
where the real power lay.
The action closes a decade
during which Khrushchev dominated most of the Communist
world. He wound up with the
Red world shaken as Lenin and
Stalin never could have imaginedin the midst of an ideological scramble with Red China.
What effect the changes will
have on the Soviet Union's relations with the West remains to be
shown.
In the eyes of Western diplomats, Brezhnev has seemed to
take action and to speak in a
responsible way, always of course
within the Soviet viewpoint.
Kosygin has been a leading
spokesman on the Soviet side in
the dispute with China, a quarrel that has tended at times to
take some of the heat off U.S.
Soviet relations.

an appraisal of poor results, were

A prime minister and his Cabinet stay in power only so long

WllCre Oil Where

Have The Issues Gone?
Except in the "letters to the
editor" column of the Kernel, there
has been a lack of debate on campus over the issues and candidates
in the 1964 Presidential election.
This is difficult to accept since the
University is usually thought to be
a center for examination and criticism.

The only evidences we find
other than in this newspaper that
the campus is aware of the election are campaign buttons on the
lapels of some professors and stickers on the bumpers of some automobiles on campus.
We sense a lack of enthusiasm
among some students concerning
the election, which may or may not
be due to lack of enthusiasm for
either President Johnson or Sen.
Goldwater. Regardless, we suspect
students have written off the whole
thing as a bad job.
This is not only an unfortunate
attitude. It is a highly dangerous
one. When college students who
are assumed to be more aware of
current events than citizens in generalabdicate their responsibility
in this area, it can be reasonably
assumed the public is not doing a
much better job as citizens.

:

Certain great issues are involved in the current campaign although they are not the questions
being emphasized by the candidates. And regardless of whether
the issues at stake are buried in a
mire of verbage or carried out of
sight on blasts of hot air, they are
yet present. And they should be
sought out and debated.
On the one hand, a candidate
is seeking votes with an appeal to
the values of our forefathers. He
is disturbed
by the "trail toward socialism collectivism" that
has progressed more quickly since
1932 than at any other time in
American history. On the other
hand a candidate seeks election
by appealing to the basic promises
of our system, by calling for "life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all men the great society.
These cliches from both camps
are insufficient. They substitute
poorly for discussion of the real
issues.
We want only a healthy exchange of views and an airing of
the issues during the next three
weeks. Campus groups should take
up the task.

role. It seeks to instill into men the
idea of the transitory nature of life,
of the pointlessness of a struggle
for happiness on this earth; it seeks
to make them passive and indifferent. . . .Of course, sucli ideas correspond to a T with the interests of
the exploiter classes. . . ."
To the church worker who puts
his beliefs into action, such a "reactionary role" will seem fantastic.
But proof of progress will be unendingly required, or an attitude lamented by a scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary may grow. Discussing alcoholics, but extending
his reference to "any one else,"
Dr. Seward Hiltner deplored "imperialistic injunctions to us clergy
to be 'nothing but religious.' "
He added: "This usually means that
we are free to do anything calculated not to have any influence
upon the sufferer."
Help for the suffering has been
a classic role for enlightened religion as well as enlightened politics.
Let free institutions continue to
play this part, rather than the reactionary role assigned them by Communist dogma. Then even the Sovr
e
iet
poring over the
text will nol forever be
insulated from the truth.

To The

Soviet Social Science
A new Soviet schoolbook on
social science is instructive in ways
the Kremlin may not have intended.
In a translation prepared by the
Joint Publications Research Service
of the Department of Commerce, it
in effect challenges the free world
to keep its house in order or be the
unwitting tool of proving the book
right.
It is disheartening to think of

To take but two examples:
"When they have convinced
themselves by their own experience
of the superiority of socialism i.e.
communism, the peoples of the
capitalist countries will themselves
choose for themselves the more
progressive social order. No one will
compel them to do this."
No one will compel them to
stick with democracy either, if its
adherents let its values become
bankrupt by failing to live up to
them.

Prince Peter Of Greece: Decline Of An Image

When I saw the picture of
Prince Peter of Greece and the
story of his attempt to make
himself t lie heir presumptive, I
recalled a talk with him and his
Russian wife in Cairo, Egypt, in
February 1913. There was also in
the newspaper
photograph a
sharp reminder of what time can
do to a man.
In the 1964 picture Prince
Peter look:; lack and almost fat.
In 1945 he was trim and proud
and did no damage to the roman

tic image of what a primce should
be like.
In early 1943 Greece, having
earlier stoml off the Italians with
great courage and success, was
then bravely resistingtheoccupy-in- g
hordes of Hitler. The agony
of Greece was made worse by the
presence of civil war. A Communist force from neighboring
Yugoslavia had come literally to
the outskirts of Athens. The British had aided in turning the tide,
but the war of Greek against
Greek was to go on for many

weary months.
Finally, it was the Truman
doctrine that enabled the Greeks
to clear their country ol theCom-munienemy and restore their
government. Prince Peter was

the fact was that the Greeks, and

that Miss Ortchinnikov was a

Danger Seen For Hoover's FBI
The President requested the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
to ascertain the extent to which
recent riots have been "systematic," i.e., to ascertain the extent
to which they were planned by
regimented agents of disorder.
Meaning the Communists, and
the more militant of the civil
rights groups.
Mr. J. Edgar Hoover's report
to the President, published last
week, was to the effect that the
riots that made this such a hot
summer were not in fact "race
riots," and not consciously motivated or directed by the Comcivil
munists or by the gung-hrights groups.
Mr. Hoover's agents reported
that the riots, which consumed
lives, limbs, and property, were
primarily the result of material
causes. To be sure, Mr. Hoover
pointed out, there were here and
there individual agitators whose
ties to the Communist Party or to
the black nationalists are a matter of public record, who urged
the rioters on. Rather theyoppor-tunize- d
on them saw them,
moved in, and did their best to
make them as extensive and as
bloody as possible. The headlines, accordingly,
proclaimed
the Communists and the Negro
idealogues as blameless.
There can be no question
about Mr. Hoover's probity in the
handling of facts. Rut Mr. Hoover
cannot be expected to pass official
judgment on the effects upon the
public morale of the strident exhortation of recent years to anarMr. Hoover
chic resentments.
did not attempt an inquiry into
whether the Communists and the
civil rights militants had prepared the more restless elements of
the community to believe in the
essential Tightness of taking the
law into their own hands and
simply smashing up the joint, as
a way of manifesting their general dissatisfaction with life.
It is in the context of this
failure of Mr. Hoover that one
reads with surprise his altogether
tangential observations concerning the riots' causes: "The social
and economic conditions in which
