The UNITED NATIONS Radiation Committee called
for an end to nuclear testing, warning that “any dose of
radiation, however small,” can cause inherited abnormalities; and that long-lived carbon-14 “will continue
to irradiate future generations for thousands of years,"
Because of the increase of man-made radiation added to
that from natural sources, it warned against unnecessary

Five days after RUSSIA protested the presence of an
American U-2 plane over Sakhalin Island, Communist
CHINA announced it had shot down one of two U-2 planes
the Nationalist Chinese brought fromthe U.S. The Communist Chinese charged that the flight over their territory was part of an American spy program. U.S, afficiads
declared the Sakhalin plane might have unintentionally
drifted off course due to high winds, and rejected the
Chinese spy program charge as “propaganda.” However,
it was conceded that information garnered by Chinese
Nationalist U-2 planes would normally be passed on to
the United States,

CUBA continued tobe the subject of threats and counterthreats, Although President Kennedy described the Russian
arms being sent to Cuba as purely defensive, some members of Congress and the press demanded that the United
States enforce the Monroe Doctrine, Khrushchev answered
with threats that aggressive action by the U.S. against
any "peace loving” nation would involve Russia and lead
to nuclear war. President Kennedy's request for standby
authority to call up 150,000 reserves was unanimously
passed by the Senate,
An Anti-Castro organization based in Puerto Rico,
announced it had shelled three ships in Cuban waters, and
predicted a “much bigger” attack. President Kennedy
athis Thursday press conference told everybody to calm
down. He said that there was no reason to fear Cuba or to
use force against it at this time, and for the benefit of
Russia, Cuba andhis domestic critics, he listed the conditions under which the U.S. could be expected to use
force,

Integration pains in some Southern states became acute
with the opening of schools and registration of voters, In
GEORGIA, two Negro churches were burned and _an F,B, 1,
agent attacked, In MISSISSIPPI two Negro girls engaged
in voter registration were injured by shotgun blasts. New
Orleans lunch counters and schools were desegregated in
relative calm, but Governor Ross Barnett of Mississippi
defied the order of Supreme Court Justice Black to admit

operation of the schools was a state and not a federal
responsibility, and that he would not “submit to illegal
usurpation of power by the Kennedy Administration, "
Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr. (Negro integration leader)
and others wired the President and Attorney General to
stop the “reign of terror,” Dr, King warned that Negros
were arming, and that he foresaw race riots unless the

25,000 U.S. Students In Foreign Universities
CHICAGO ---Overseas study
is taking the shape of a major
trendin U.S. higher education.
Formerly, it attracted only
graduate students and a few
rare undergraduates. But today, were they all in one
place, our wandering scholars
would filla university larger
than all but a half dozen universities in the United States.
According to estimates,
nearly 25,000 young Americans from hundreds of U.S.
colleges will spend at least
part of the 1962-63 school
year at foreign universities.
Notable inthe over-all trend
is the fact that a growing
proportion of the U.S. students heading overseas-about a fourth this year--is
made up of undergraduates,
chiefly sophomores and juniors.
As might be expected,
Europe is experiencing the

U.S. colleges. A six-month
Stay, including a semester of
study, may range from $1,400
to $1,600.
But, the Institute warns,
the unwary student faces problems and pitfalls. Foreign
study, it says, is rewarding
in the degree to w hich the
student can be "immersed"
in the European university
and theculture of a different
land, The amount of immersion depends on his previous
education, his ability in a
foreign tongue, and his cap_acity for adjusting to alien
ways.
The vast differences between the two systems have
challenged American educators convinced of the value
of foreign study for U.S. undergraduates. To bridge the
“educational gap” they have
supplemented European university courses with heavy
doses of language instruction,
special lectures and orientation to Europe.
The result is an accomodation of European learning
to U.S, college requirements.

Helping to stimulate the

Most educators agree that,
in the sciences and in business fields, for example, foreign universities can add little to what the U.S. undergraduate may readily obtain
at home.
What Europe does have to
offer, especially to liberal
arts students and those in general studies, is the wealth of
its art, literature, history,

tradition and languages.
