Show Page Two FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1961 THE SALT LAKE TIMES The wintry weather chilling the gala inauguration of Presi-dent Kennedy is nothing com-pared to the icy Siberian blasts his Administration faces in the Cold War. But at the same time, the celebrated, tarditional congres-sional honeymoon the President is enjoying is also nothing com-pared to the comparative honey moon he is enjoying with "Uncle Nikita" and the Soviet Union. If these two estimates of the world Communist challenge ap-pear contradictory it is only a matter of timing. Virtually every Cold War ob-server believes that Moscow now is probing, testing, appraising the new President and his poli-cies in the hope that Kennedy will, indeed, offer the "new" have any value. But he also does not want to give Kennedy too much time to stall, rebuild U. S. military power, strengthen its position in Laos, the Congo, etc., before any new round of East-We- st summitry begins. For his part, Kennedy realizes that he must also strengthen the West, not militarily, but diplo-mticall- y, before there can be any thought of face-to-fa- ce Khrushchev Kennedy negotiations. Despite some scare reports, Kennedy is neither about to dis-solve our military alliances nor are these about to collapse. However, our military alli-ances, which should strengthen our negotiating position with the Communist world, are in deep trouble. Kennedy, in seking to solve start in world affairs Moscow has sought since the U-- 2 episode and collapse of the Summit con-ference, and which Kennedy spoke of in his "New Frontiers" inaugural address. In a sense, Moscow is conducting a U-- 2 rec-onnaissance of Kennedy. If Kennedy is found to be weak, vascillatine or uncertain many 01 me prooiems involving NATO and SEATO, is now en-joying a honeymoon with our Allies. But soon he is going to have to become deply involved in such tangled problems as colonialism, a resurgance of West German ecoonmic power on the Conti- - nent, De Gaulle's independent NATO role, economic conflict between the European Common Market and the British oriented European economies, trade, tar- - iffs, cuts in U.S. aid at the same time we demand that Europe share most of the costs of western defense and economic aid and restrict its own prosperity to help the U.S. stem the flow of its gold to Europe, are all some of the problems demanding ac- - tion. Dwight Eisenhower, with his great prestige as World War II leader and postwar NATO Com-- mander, was unable to solve the top priority problems in Western Europe and NATO involving the United States. The task is likely to prove in his dealings with, or policies toward the Soviet Union, which frankly is unlikely, the Soviets are certain to attempt to take advantage of him. Moscow is even now pouring heavy flattery upon Kennedy by seeing in him a "new image of FDR," whom Moscow hopes will lead East and West back to the "wartime cooperation of Teheran and Yalta," to quote a recent Radio Moscow broadcast. Doubtless, the current, com-parti- ve "honeymoon" with Mos-cow is bound to continue so long as Moscow either sees profit in it, or the U. S. does, or when Americans become far more mindful of the dangers as well as the opportunities in "coexist- - even more difficult for Kennedy who has not Ike's great war time prestige, European contacts, ex-perience in the quagmire of poli-tics or even great foreign policy background. Worse, however, is the way the crisis in Laos has been dramatiz-Jin- g a serious weakness in U.S. Asian defenses. The Reds have slipped behind U.S. defenses in Laos and South Vienam. Thai-land, strongest U.S. ally in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza-tion, is wavering toward "Neu-tral Burma and Cambodia are slipping into the Red Chinese net. Pakistan and even Philip-pines are increasing trade, cul-tural and diplomatic activity with Moscow. Japan is stepping up trade with Peiping as are Canada and Australia. And Indo-nesia, threatening open war with the Netherlands over West New Guinea, is suddenly getting more military aid from Moscow, for no good reason, than the Soviets are now giving to any other single country, posing a new threat in an unstable, strategic area of the world. It does little good to wonder why, in the face of these prob-lems. Kennedy has sought the Presidency and appears to relish its headaches. He now has them and this columnist also believes he also has the sincere support of all Americans in seeking to solve at least a few of our more "ressing problems. But n" nany of Kennedy's pressing vorld or domestic problems will vde their time before demand g his attention? ence diplomacy." It is precisely because Ken-nedy is expected to be alert to the danger that Moscow will try to take him for a sleigh ride that at one time or another, he, like Eisenhower, is certain to call upon Moscow to prove "with deeds as well sa words" its prop-aganda about seeking peace. It is then, whether it takes months or years, that any new thaw in our relations with the Soviet Union will be put to the test. Meantime, crises in the Congo, Laos and over Cuba continue. Moscow's present role in these has been viewed as probing ac-tions to test the Kennedy mettle, make quick gains during the ad-ministration transition and to pressure, or persuade the new administration into a new round of East-We- st summitry to nego-tiate an end to crises the Com-munists themselves, cause. Most observers believe that Khrushchev has tentatively set March or April as a deadline for really putting pressure on Kennedy to step up a round of East-We- st summitry. Khrushchev realizes that Ken-nedy needs some time to take over the reins of government from the outgoing Eisenhower Administration, to familiarize himself with the unimaginable problems no one outside of Gov-ernment can ever really appre-ciate, and to round out his Ad--1 ministrative team. Khrushchev, I who knows it took him three i years to complete the transition between Stalin-Malenko- v- Bul-- l ganin and his own dictatorship, realizes Kennedy needs somr time before summitry would Kennecott Has Installation of Materials Handling System A new materials handling sys-tem and other changes costing, about $5 million at Kennecott's Utah smelter were announced this week by company officials. The materials handling project will be started on February 1, according to A. J. Thuli, division chief engineer. Completion is expected about June, 1962. Work has already started on the electrical extension by Wa-satch Electric Company, which blended materials from the new concentrate storage building to jbe loaded onto sulfide cars small rail cars that will be re-routed over a temporary track to the existing roaster charging system. An automatic, continuous screw conveyor will collect flue dust and return it to the concen-trate storage building. Fine dust now is collected by flue dust cars placed under the flues. The will be completed in May. The electrification project in-volves supplying power to the smelter from Kennecott's 175,-00- 0 kilowatt central power sta-tion. The smelter will be able to draw or feed back power, making the Utah Copper Division self sustaining on its power. It is estimated that the smelter will require a 10,000 kilowatt load. This project includes additions new materials handling system is provided with dust control and disposal equipment as one of the many safety features planned for the welfare of employees. Two major console control panels will provide push button control of all conveyors and will be controlled so that if one belt stops, the entire system will shut down. This will allow uniform movement of materials at all times. The materials handling system is the first step in a long term rehabilitation of the entire smel-ter. Much of the present system has been in operation since the smelter was built in 1906. Ken-necott purchased the old smelter January 1. 1959. to tne 44 kilovolt switch gear at the refinery, a two circuit trans-: mission line about 2 Vz miles long iand a new sub-statio- n at the ;smelter with sufficient capacity 1for the smelter and acid plant 1loads. Rust Engineering Co. was the successful bidder for the ma-tterials handling system, which will handle incoming products, such as concentrates, lime sands, silica fluxes, precipitates, and other secondaries. When the new system is com-pleted, the concentrates will be fed directly to the reverberatory furnaces. This will eliminate the present roasting process and re-duce the time needed to convert mill concentrates into copper anodes. Most of the old wooden trestle system will be torn down and six old buildings will be removed, as will the old silica bins. A double direction car dumper will enable railroad cars to dump in two directions for segregation of materials. This will be the first time a 200-to- n car dumper of this type has been so used. Heyl-Patters- on Company will construct the dumper. It will dump one direction for materials that do not need crushing and the other direction for materials that require crushing. It also will weigh the car on an electronic scale, providing the gross, tare and total dump weight for each car and the total net weight. Concentrates will be conveyed by belts to a common storage building. This system will con-vey concentrates to reverbera-tory furnaces from car dumper, with fluxes and secondaries blended in to make a reverbera-tory charge. An automatic sampler will be installed in the concentrate con-veyor system to collect samples for moisture and quality control. Until the reverberatories are converted so they can accept the green feed, a temporary system will be installed to permit the Witt EC-MO-KE I lUhere Bit's I IF .
