Prospects Dim
For Peace In

BY ROBERT B TUcKMAN

GENEVA 1.-THE West planned
q second huddle with the Commu-
nists in an attempt today to un.
rayel opposing plans for peace in
war-torn Indochina. But prospects
Of agreement appeared dim.
Experts Of the nine delegations
maneuvering for a cease-fire were
called to 4::30 am. EST meeting
aimed at clearing the way for 4
full dress session later in the day.
Some Western diplomats were
hopeful they could end five weeks
Of frustrating debate with the Reds
over procedure and get down to
the military problems involved in
an armistice.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minis
ter Andrea Y. Gromyko snarled up
yesterdays initial meeting of ex-
perts who are seeking to find out
how much common ground there
was in the Communist and nom
Communist proposals.
Gromyko tossed in new demands
aimed at forcing the conference
to sanction Communist claims in
Laos and Cambodia, the smaller
Of the three Associated Indochinese
States.
The West has insisted the Com
munist-led Vietminh be allowed
after the, cease-fire to hold terri
tory, only in Wet Nam and that
Red forces be evacuated entirely
from the kingdoms of Laos and
Cambodia.
Should the Communists persist
in demands for assembly zones"
in al three states, observer pre-
dict the conference might flounder
newt week. That in the period thst
both frances Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault and Britain's For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden have
predicted would be decisive.
Tie Communists and the West
are agreed on the principle Of the
assembly zones into which the op.
posing armies would be withdrawn
when the cease-fire is sounded. But
there is basic disagreement over
where and how these zones should
be established.
Eden proposed earlier this week
that senior officers Of the two op-
posing sides in the war be called
to Geneva to draw cease-fire lines.
Gromyko said yesterday Russia
would accept this proposal-pro-
vided it was changed to leave
clear implication that the officers
would draw sease-fire lines for all
three Assocated States.
Gromyko also suggested that the
officers meet in, Indochina rather
than Geneva. TIE West had as
sumed there way agreement on
Geneva as the site Of the military
discussions. A representative of the
French high command is already
en- route here from Saigon to take
part in the talks.
Gromyko also made it clear at
Yesterdays meeting that Russia
would oppose any serious discus.
sion Of international supervision of
a cease-fire until after the con-
ference had agreed On location of
assembly zones.
Some issues raised by Gromyko
were new. Others had been brought
up previously by Soviet Foreign
MinisterSV. M. Molotov, but ap-
parently withdrawn in the face of
Western opposition.
Western experts were astonished
to find these points raised at what
was supposed to be a working
group charged merely with find.
ing a commoa ground among the
different propose before the con
ference.
The West again rejected the Rus
sian amendments and the first
meeting of the experts broke up
without agreement.

Non -Purtisun Elections

Those Montgomery County residents
who previously resided In Arlington.
Va. must have been startled by one at
the Republican planks mentioned by
The Star September 23.
Continued efforts to repeal the law
barring non-partisan elections Of
county governing bodies" can mean to
the former Arlingtonian only the dismal
prospect Of returning to the unhealthy
condition from which he ned.
No Republican who has had q taste
Of non-partisan government could pos
sibly favor such plank. This expert
ment in Arlington placed county gov
ernment In the hands Of improvident
spenders to whom thrift was a ridicu-
lous and antiuuated principle; social
istic, anti-capitalist element dedicated
to prodigate spending, discriminatory
and confiscatory taxation. In short,
-partisanism created miniature
New Deal. no differentsexcept in degree
from its Washington prototype.
To my mind. the Montgomery County
Republican organization could do both
Republicans and Democrats no greater
dissefyice than by working to repeal
the present law against non-partisan
elections.

The truth IN that fancy chess pieces
tend to make one afraid Of dropping
them, since usually they are breakable.
Even II made Of some Of the wonderful
modern unbreakable plastics, they are
likely to take ones mind OF the game.
Perhaps this is the essence Of the
love Of old things. that one feels so
perfectly at home with them, and can
put his whole mind into what he is
doing.
The old house, the old drapes. the old
chairs and tables, the old rugs may be
soiled by time, but they do possess
something that nothing new can have.
The accretions Of living come to US
from the outside, and they are added
to growth from the inside. These two
make life. and between them Is the
perfect fiux Of humanity, as We know
it. To always want something new Is
to miss the old, and to rely exclusively
on the old Is to be afraid Of the new.
The happiest person Is he who manages
somehow to stick closely TO the old
while at the same time he is investigat-
ing the very latest thing. The men Of
Athens, who were forever looking for
something new to see or hear or talk
about, were on the right track, no
matter what Paul's opinion Of them

Sense Plus Nonsense

The stated objective Of the Budget Bu-
reau order setting up an administrative in
spection system in all Federal departments
and agencies is so commendable that it is
surprising there should have been any se-
crecy about the plan. Such an inspection
system long has been needed in the Federal
establishment to check on "actS of tmpro-
priety, unethical conduct and other activ-
tiles short Of criminal violation" as the or
der puts it. Had there been this type Of
inspection in the past it is probable that
many of the wrongdoings that have brought
discredit on some Of the agencies would have
been discovered and stopped before serious
corruption developed. Why, then, the alb
surd effort to keep the news Of the over
due reform from the public?
Apparently the Budget Bureau order
would extend throughout the departments
the administrative inspection program
which has been in effect in the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation for many years. Re-
ports alleging misconduct on the part of
any employees are promptly referred to the
inspection division, which has the reSpon-
sibility Of investigating and recommending
whatever course Of action seems advisable,
including dismissal. Similar inspection
procedures are used by the military
branches. The mere existence of an in
spection staff serves as deterrent to en-
ployes who might be tempted to go astray.
The new plan would place responsibility
for departmental housecleaning on one top
ranking official, who thus could be held ac-
countable for any failure to act promptly
and properly in a given case. The order
itself makes it plain that the inspections are
to supplement, not replace, the regular in
vestigationS under the security-risk pro-
gram now made by the Civil Service Com
mission and the FBI. When an inspector
uncovers evidence Of a possible criminal Of
Tense on the part Of an employe, the mat
ter will be brought Immediately to the at
tention Of the Department Of Justice. The
plan makes sense. But the nonsensica1
decision Of somebody to keep 1t deep Sc
cret, thus encouraging whispered rumors
Of Gestapo-like shopping, was incredibly
stupid.
