GENEVA, April 26.-This
could be the beginning of the
negotiated peace" which the
Soviet government has been
insisting upon and which the
Western world has been re-
luctant to accept because OF
q deep-seated distrust of So
Wet pledges.
This could also be the be-
ginning of the end Of inter-
national conferences between
the Communists and the free
governments, for, if this one
collapses, there may not be
another for years to come.
Because such grave conse-
quences are involved, neither
side will wish to do anything
that would fix upon it respon-
sibility for the failure of the
conference. Under such cir
cumstances, the chances of
something tangible and con-
crete coming out of the Ge-
neva conference are better
than even. This may sound
like optimism unwarranted in
the face of the record since
1945, but diplomacy is always
full of surpriSes-especially
when it has reached the end
of its rope.
It is not necessary for the
sessions here to cover all the
items at issue or to make a
settlement on any substantial
number of them for it to be
pronounced a success in terms
of international conferences.
1t can be a success if only one
major issue is resolved. such
as the ending of aggression in
Asia in return for a new setup
for peace in Europe.
To understand the reason
ing of the Soviets as they ap-
proach this conference. it is
necessary to go back to June.
1851, when Jacob Malik made
his speech at the United Ma
tions Offering the olive branch
to the West. At that time in
spired dispatches came out of
Moscow indicating that what
the Soviet government wanted
was a package" settlement
and that Asian questions were
felt to be closely interrelated
with European issues. The

and, second, after he finally
went into the Army, to have
him showered with special
privileges.
But Pvt. G. David Schine-
as he now is-has unwittingly
done his country and its peo-
pie a service by becoming a
symbol. in perhaps the most
absurd way possible, of the
extremities to which Senator
Mccarthy was willing to go
to show his power.
Kow-towing to his whim
casts no glory on the Army,
rather the contrary. Disinter-
ested observers can see that
plainly. Whether the Senate
investigating committee will
eventually comment critically
in it's report is, of course, un-
certain. Senators expect Gov
ernment departments, includ-
ing that of the Army, to ac-
cede to their requests and
wishes. That is normal. In
this case the Army did go far.
very far. jumping quickly when
the voice of the Wisconsin
Senator came on at the other
end of the line. or even that OF
one of his stooges. Senators
would not want to discourage
the normal obsequiousness. If
not always expecting the Nc
Carthy treatment.
AS for the Army. it is taught
always to be polite and say
Yes, sir" to Congress and all
of it's members. no matter how
rude and uncouth the member
may be. This is for a simple
reason-Congress votes the
money. It might be pointed
out, too, that we have in the
White House now an Army
career man who grew up in the
be-nice-to-C Congress tradition.
Finally, however. that Presi-
dent did get his back up, and
the Army did. too. and for

Most Presidents have pro-
fessed to agree with Thomas
jefferson that the presidency
ais but a splendid misery"
and many have seconded Cen
eral Sherman'S stated prefer
ence for four years in the
penitentiary as compared to
four years in the White House.
President Eisenhower is not
yet on record with respect to
these jeremiads, but it is clear
that life in the White House
goldfish bowl has induced in
him a certain claustrophobia
that he is determined to fight
against.
AS Congress moved into the
home stretch on his program
with most of the important is
sues unsettled and Secretary
of State Dulles prepared for
q crucial conference In Ge-
neva, the President took a long
Easter vacation at his favorite
golfng haunt, Augusta, Ga.
Then, after speeches in New
York and Kentucky, he chose
to return home by way of an
other golfing week end in Au-
gusta.
At the same time it was an
nounced that he would spend
August and half Of September
hiding out in Colorado. That
vacation may be interspersed
by visits from politicians and

ern States, but no long train
trips are contemplated.
It thus appears that the
President in 1854 may equal
his absentee record of last
year, which was 120 days
spent away from the White
House. The figure is taken
from the expense account
vouchers of a White House
correspondent and does not of
course include golf1ng days at
Burning Tree. According to
u. S. News and World Report,
UP to october 9, 1858. there
were 20 of those.
The American people have
always tolerantly allowed a
President to decide how he
shall do his job and where.
They have a deep sense OF the
work and intrusion upon per-
sonality that the presidency
exacts and so long as the Chief
Executive behaves like a Pres
ident, they rarely complain.
What they will not stop do
ing, however, is to joke. It is a
rare comedian who does not
mention the Presidents golf
and the return to Augusta last
week end brought forth a rash
of paragrapher wit including
the suggestion that the White
House should be placarded:

AUSTRALIA REPORTED
FAVORING JEWISH REFUGEES
AS IMMIGRANTS

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Morris
Ashkanasy, president of the Exc
cutive Council of Australian Jew
ry, here for brief visit, told a
meeting of officers of United
HAS Service, the Jewish inter-
national migration agency, that
the Australian Government shows
no discrimination against immi-
grants of the Jewish faith.
Mr.. Ashkanasy, leading attor-
ney of Melbourne, explained to
the meeting, held in the Hotel
Commodore, that the question,
"Are you JEWISH" which appear
ed on applications for Australian
immigration permits for years fol-
lowing the start of World War II,
until recently, was not discrimi-
natory in intent. He said that the
governments explanation for this
pointed question was that it was
intended to give immigration
priorities to victims of Hitlerism
and Old World oppression. "Our
surveys proved that this was actu-
ally the case and that many of the
some 10000 Jews who found
homes in Australia since the be-
ginning of World War II received
priorities if they answered the
question affirmatively," he said.

The States would contribute
according to resources. Partici-

by Christians, can not imply any
willingness to disguise from
themselves or others the vast
difference which lies between the
search for an international order
based on belief in Christ and His
reconciling work, and the pursuit
of aims which repudiate the
Christian revelation. There can
be no abandonment OF the right
to assert this fundamental diff
ference and the faith on which
it rests"
The document urged nations
to pledge themselves to refrain
from the threat or the use of
hydrogen, Atomic and all other
weapons of mass destruction. "
it added that If a nation should
break its pledge" then the

The statement further pointed

could be eliminated or prohibited
or all ornaments could be re-
duced to a minimum.

also noted. It was recommended
that the u. N. charter be revised

Gen. Eisenhower said he signed
it "solely for humanitarian rea-

But, he said, some getting the
increase do not need it.
There are today many in
stances OF uneven and inequit-
able benefits" in the veterans

he added, there are no means for

dence that he will have "the full
support of all veterans and their

action to "correlate our many

Stassen Chance 10
Reply 10 Malone

Foreign Aid Director Harold
E. Stassen was reported yester-
day to have been refused an OPP
portunity to reply to charges
made by Senator Malone. Repub-
lican, of Nevada, before an Amer
lean Legion group here.
Addressing the Legion Security
Commission Friday, Senator Ma
lone charged Mr.. Stassen was an
honest but misguided patriot
who is more dangerous than
Harry Dexter White"
Mr.. White, a World War II
Treasury Department official now
dead, was called a Russian spy"
by Attorney General Brownell in
a Chicago speech. He had been
identified as a source of informa-
ton by ex-Communist espionage
agents but denied the charge.
An aide of Mr.. Stassen re-
portedly called Legion officials
and asked for time to reply eff
that (Senator Ma1one's state
ment) is part Of your record"
The Legion official is said to have
replied, There will be no record
of the sessions, which are for
the enlightenment of the mem
bers."
It was recalled that Mr.. Stas-
sen failed to appear at a session
of the commission in January.
He accepted an invitation to
speak and his name appeared on
the printed program. But at
the last minute Mr.. Stassen adj
vised the Legion he would be
unable to attend.
Mr.. Stassen said he personally
did not make a request for a
chance to reply to Senator Ma
lone, but that it was possible
one OF his aides made the call.
He added that Senator Ma
1one's Statements were in error. +"
"They are the same charges
he has made in the Senate ana
the Senate know they were in
error" Mr.. Stassen said.
