change Of heart by the Soviet
leaders.
The President and his Sec
retary of State did not want to
seem to rush in with tremendous
enthusiasm to accept a some
what qualified proposal of the
Russians.
They wanted to avoid giving
the world the impression that
they had any real hope the Ber-
lin meeting offered much chance
for solution of any cold war
problems.
Dulles Statement Cautious.
So as soon as the Soviet note
was read here, the State Depart
ment put out a statement on
November 26 saying that the
Soviet note was disappointing
from the Standpoint Of real
substance"
And on December /, Secretary
of State Dulles emphasized to
a news conference that I'VE
don't rush into acceptance of
any Soviet proposals without
reading all the fine print" He
added that if there appeared
to be any chance for the pro-
posed Berlin meeting to give
opportunity for serious discus
sions on German and Austrian
problems, I'VE all shall embrace
it," The whole tone of this
statement was one Of skeptical
hesitancy, however.
On the next day, Gen. Eisen-
hover refused to make any
commitment at his news con-
ference as to whether the Rus
sian note was regarded as a
suitable basis for a Big Four
meeting. He said the United
States would agree to the con-
ference only if further study
showed the Soviet offer met in
diSpensable conditions.

Dulles give the public impression
Of hesitancy when there, their

Paradox in Policy
By Gornett D. Horner

Psychological warfare appears
to be have played its part in
American treatment of Russia's S
Thanksgiving offer to join in a
Four Power foreign ministers
conference in Berlin.
Until they went to the Ber-
muda Big Three conference last
Friday, President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles
were publicly indicating doubts
about whether the offer should
be taken up at all-in contrast
to the way it was welcomed with
considerable enthusiasm by the
British.
But as soon as they got to
Bermuda, the President and Mr..
Dulles began pressing for a reply
to the Russians suggesting a
meeting at the earliest possible
date.
Only Marginal Differences.
Only marginal differences -
mainly about timing and place
had to be ironed out with the
French at Bermuda and now the
Big Three have proposed to the
Russians that the conference be
held in Berlin January 4.
The contrast between actions
by Gen. Eisenhower and Mr..
Dulles on this matter at Ber-
muda and the impressions given
by their press conference state
ments a few days earlier raised
question of whether there was
a change in their attitude some
where along the line-perhaps
influenced by British Prime Min
lister Churchill.
The authoritative answer to
that question is no.
The American officials wary
statements and positive actions
were part of a deliberate pattern.
No Serious Reservations.
From their first reading of the
Soviet Thanksgiving Day note,
Gen. Eisenhower and Mr.. Dulles
had no serious reservations
about offering to go ahead with
the proposed Berlin meeting.
The Russian note amounted to
a reversal of Soviet tactics. ac-
cepting the idea of a Four Power
foreign ministers conference the
Western Powers had been seek
ing for more than four months
to work towards unification of
Germany and an Austrian in
dependence treaty, although in
a way not indicating any real

doint Congressional Committee
on Atomic Energy, described the
Eisenhower speech as timely,
fortnight and constructive and
appealing to men of good will
everywhere"
: He did not raise the posi-
bility of Russian trickery but
he indicated that any such OBJ
StacleS raised by the Soviets
should not stop the United
States from doing everything
possible to develop atomic en-
ergy for industrial and humani-
tartan purposes at home.
Truman Praises Speech.
Mr.. Truman voiced hope that
the plan could be carried out
and bring peace to the world
He said Gen. Eisenhower made
good speech" which was "a
continuation of non-partlsan
foreign policy He recalled that
a U. N. committee was organ
lied several years ago on use
OF atomic energy on peaceful
basis but got nowhere because
of inability to obtain an agree
men5 on Inspection regulations.
Mr. Baruca,, New York finan-
cier declared that if the Soviet
leaders tell the Russian people
Of President Eisenhower's plan
at will be some evidence of their
desire to cooperate"
Mr.. Baruch presented a
United States plan for interna-
tional control of atomic energy
to the United Nations in 1916.
Russia rejected it.
In his statement, Mr.. Baruch
said:
President Eisenhower'S speech
was a highly necessary express
sion of the concern over the
status of atomic and nuclear
matters. 1t was properly ad-
dressed to all mankind in the
interest of civilization.
1T is built on the original
American proposal still providing
for a central world organization
to handle fashionable material. 1t
does not spell out inspection or
penalization which are inevitable
in any cooperative endeavor.
IF the Russian government
publishes the Presidents pro-
posal it will be some evidence of
their desire to cooperate. If they
do not and therefore keep their
people and those behind the Iron
Curtain ignorant Of it as they did
with the Baruch proposal and
endeavor to distort it as they did,
it augurs badly for the future.
IF they do publish it and in
from the Russian people it will
be a most hopeful sign"

vishinsky Marks His
10Th Birthday With
Energy Unabated
By the A,soeiutad Pres,

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Dec.
10.-Russia's acid-tongued An
drei Vishinsky reached 10 today
without showing any signs of
slowing down. He said he
planned to work as usual.
The Soviet diplomat may have
mellowed a bit in his social life,
but he has lost none of his
energy or his ability to lash out
at opponents in debate. Appar-
emily in much better health than
he was few years ago, he fol-
lows a schedule that would tax
the strength of men 20 years
younger.
Mr.. Vishinsky was 81 when
he first appeared on the United
Nations scene in London in 1945.
His hair already was silvery and
his red face deeply lined. His
appearance has not changed
much.
Famed Purge Prosecutor.
Long famous for his role as
prosecutor in the Soviet purge
trials of the sos, he has been
one Of the main attractions for
U. N. visitors since the begin
ming.
From time to time, there have
been reports Mr.. Vishinsky was
i'll, that he had passed his peak
and was slipping as a speaker
that he was blundering too fire.
quently and that he would be
replaced by a younger man.
At the 1851 session of the
U. N. Assembly he was side
lined by illness. Last April he
was denoted from foreign
minister to deputy minister and
made permanent U. N. delegate
when the new Malenkov ad-
ministration came to power.
During the summer he returned
to Moscow and there were new
rumors that he was being
relieved of his U. N. job.
But Mr.. Vishinsky bobbed up
again, for the General Assembly.
Unusually Active.
At this session, he personally
handled almost every political
question both in committee and
in the Assembly itself. Often he
made two or three long speeches
day. He was active socially,
turning up night after night at
receptions and cocktail parties
instead of attending only two
or three major parties as he had
in the past.
He gave a series Of private
dinners for small groups of dele
gates. He even became more
affable to reporters, attending
a correspondents association
luncheon for the first time.
II he has any plans for re-
tirement, he has never limited
at them either publicly or in
private talks with Westerners.
Moscow took official note of
his 10th birthday by awarding
him the Order of Lenin for out
standing service to the Soviet
state This is the top decora-
ton of the Soviet Union.

Warnings on Russia Temper
Acclaim for Eisenhower Plan

Congressional praise Of Presi-
dent EiSenhower'S proposal to
pool some atomic energy ma
terials and management for
peaceful purposes was tempered
today by warnings of possible
Soviet failure to live up to
promises it might make under
such a plan.
Comment generally commend
ed the Presidents suggestion,
but indicated it might run into
trouble in Congress unless there
could be almost air-tight guar
antees against any future Rus
sian trickery.
Several lawmakers and others
regarded the plan as a way of
testing whether Russia really
wants peace and can cooperate
fairly in an international prof.
ect for worldwide, non-military
atomic development. Former
President Truman and Bernard
M. Baruch were among those
who hailed the Presidents S
speech and Endorsed the basic
plan.
Senator Potter, Republican, of
Michigan pointed to a danger
spot" in the difficulty, if not i'm
possibility, of getting from Rus
sia a genuine assurance that it
would keep its promises.
Doubts Soviet Compliance.
1.-THE President certainly has
good idea if it can be accom-
pliShed," Senator Potter said.
"but I don't see how we are ever
going to be certain that the So
viets will live up to any pledges
they may make. For my own
part, I don't believe they are ever
going to deviate from their ulti-
mate objective of world conquest.
I don't believe they will ever give
us any of the benefits of their
research in exchange for any in
formation we might give them" I"
Senator Johnston, Democrat,
of South Carolina, warned that
the United States should not
dump our atomic secrets into
the Russians laps until we know
what they are going to do with
them" He said he saw no sense
in spending lot of money to
investigate Russian espionage
and then give atomic secrets to
them.
Senator Burke, newly appoint
ed Democratic member from
Ohio, declared this country
would be in hot water" if Rus
sia made an agreement on the
pooling process and then broke
it.
KanSan Asks Guarantees.
Senator Schoeppel, Republi-
can. Of Kansas, called for some
"caSt-iron guarantees" of Rus
sian cooperation before Con-
greSS approves any agreement to
turn over fashionable material.
He urged Congress and the ad-
ministration to "be careful that
we do not place ourselves in the
position of giving all and getting
nothing in return"
Representative Kersten, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, chair
man of House group investi-
eating Russian seizure of Es-
tonia, Lithuania and Latvia
after World War II, urged Con-
gress to look thoroughly into
the Presidents proposal before
acting on it. He added that it
would be naive" to trust the
Soviet Union.

partment provided a permanent
bean hole made to his specifications
in Miller Park, largest and most
central of the city park system.
He managed to feed several
hundred devotees of the bean hole
through use of fifty gallon gal
vanized iron cans.
He tried a new angle this past
summer and divided his beans in
to several bean holes, each one
containing a fifty gallon can of
beans. This has the added advant-
age of keeping the beans hot for
latecomers and also giving several
exhibitions of the digging up pro-
cess. Those who tried the product
now are the greatest boosters and
large crowds are expected to at
tend this year.
The Men of Flower Hill have
built picnic tables and the beans
will be served in the cool shade
of the church yard above the
church building. Tickets will be
moderate in price and there will
be a plentiful supply of beans for
all.
