Herbert Hoover says that in
trying to cut down on the
amount Of his official handshak-
ing while he was President hi
took a step which turned out tc
be very foolish"
Saying he was always of the
opinion that President has toe
much handshaking to do, Mr.
Hoover added in a copyrighted
interview with the magazine
u. S. News and World Report
II carried out two revolutions
in that direction. George Wash
Iington established the unfortun-
ate habit Of giving a New Years
reception to the entire popula-
ton. q
HE is said to have shaken
hands with about 100 people
at his first reception. I had
II 900 come to my first New
Years reception. Therefore ]
decided that reception had to
be abolished.
President Theodore Roose-
welt had established the custom
that at IL o'clock each day he
would shake hands with anybody
who'd come. That only involved
q few people at the start, but
1t rose to 1000 in my time.
That is quite a handshaking
job, and it was right in the mid
die Of the work day. took sew

In that case, she would un-
questionably run head-on into
a similar campaign for q rival
woman politician. the career
senior Senator from Maine,
Margaret Chase Smith. Both
women have their publics.
Among women, Mrs. Smiths
is the largest, and professional
groups would rally to her.
These two leading Republic
can women are so different in
every way-personality, back
ground, approach. sense of
values-that a political con-
test between them would be
exceedingly picturesque. They
are at present neither enemies
nor friends. Mrs. Luce, al
though then q House colleague,
did not lift a finger to help
Mrs. Smith win her first Sen
ate try in 1913, nor did the
Luce publications.
1t could be that this was in
part because, so her closest po-
litical mentor says. the Senate
is Mrs. Luce's own true love.

DORIS FLEEsON

One fact is well established
in the welter Of speculation
about Clare Boothe Luce. She
feels she has done a Job in
italy, and she wants a new and
better assignment.
According to her political
conf1dants. she has in mind q
post as Undersecretary or As
sistant Secretary of State or
an appointment as a presiden-
tial aide which would give her
real stature and access to the
President. Mrs. Luce by this
time knows the realities of
power; she would not settle
for the purely ornamental.
She also is described by
politicians close to her, as
ready to come home from Eu-
rope. They believe she is not
anxious even for. the diplo-
matte plums of London or
Paris.
When the report that she
aspires to be Vice President
on the Eisenhower ticket next
year is mentioned. these
sources only smile. That place,
as matters stand, is the Pres
ident's to bestow. They would
expect If the race were thrown
into a free and open conven-
ton that Mrs. Luce. backed
by the weight Of Time-Life-
Fortune. would make q stab
for 1t.

American trade with the Soviet
bloc in Europe appears to be
rising slowly" with the satellites
showing more interest in nom
strategic goods, Secretary OF
Commerce Weeks reports.
In his quarterly report on ex-
port control to Congress and the
President, Mr.. Weeks noted that
United States grains, insecticides
and medicines have been moving
behind the Iron Curtain in larger
volumes.
Outside Of relief shipments, the
report issued yesterday showed,
United States exports to Russia
and European satellites totaled
$l.615.000 in the first quarter OF
this year. This compared with
81. 253 900 in the last quarter of
1854 and $330.000 in the first
quarter Of 1854.
Mr.. Weeks said the receipt of
an application for the export to
Bulgaria Of 500 new passenger
cars valued at $1,0l7,000. This
arrived too late for inclusion In
the totals for the first quarter.
but 1t has been approved, Mr..
Weeks said, in accordance with
the general policy of authorizing
the export of non-strategic goods
to the Soviet bloc except where
a particular transaction is viewed
as having an adverse net impact
upon the security interests of the
free world"
Shipments under the Presi-
dents food relief program for
the Danube basin swelled the ex-
port total in the final quarter of
1854 and the first quarter of this
year. These shipments totaled
$4.57S, 900.
Principal exports in first-ouar-
ter 1855 included corn valued at
SSH 900, sent to Czechoslovakia
and Hungary for flood relief:
wool rags valued at $735, 900,
to Poland and Czechoslovakia; ;
cattle hide and skins worth
$520.000. to Poland, Hungary and
Russia, and tallow valued at
$l34 900 to Rumania.
MIR. Weeks said there have
been no United States CONNER
cial exports to Communist China
or North Korea since 1850. Ex-
ports were enlarged in that
year because of the Korean war.

him as ultra-conservative. Re-
publicans agree he is not q
strong candidate. Even so, the
old rule is that few Senators
die and none retire. There also
is the question Of Just how
strong Mrs. Luce now is in
Connecticut.
Her hopes for a top WASH
ington post should be aided by
the fact that, with Mrs.
Oveta Culp Hobby's departure,
there is now no woman show
piece In the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. Among the sew
eral places where Mrs. Hobby,
an Eisenhower Democrat, was
unpopular was with Republi-
can women. They regarded her
as an intruder and she had
little time for them. Nor do
women want the Department
OF Health. Education and We'll
fare trade-marked for their
sex.
Republican women will
watch to see what renewed
recognition they get. They
feel they have earned 1t. The
President has nowhere had
more consistent. well-organ-
lied support than from the
women's division of the Re-
publican National Committee.
Its head, Miss Bertha Adkins,
a former dean Of women,
makes no mistakes and keeps
her fences mended with q cool
competence widely admired by
the professionals Of the pol
itical trade.

Soviet Wants Lorge-ScoIe Economic Aid;
Adenouer Faces Cold, Hard Borqoininq

NATO and the sundering of
those ties with the West that
have given the Federal Re-
public its liberty.
This, Chancellor Adenauer
has said unequivocally he will
not do. On the contrary, in
Moscow, he will negotiate, not
only for Germany but as an
ambassador to the West.
What. then, can he offer?
Well, I would not at this
point dismiss as hopeless of
acceptance in the changed at
mosphere the proposition, ad-
vanced by the Western pow
ers, Of a system of collective
security between NATO-in-
GLIDING Germany - and the
Soviet Warsaw bloc. This
would include the demilitari-
cation of the East Zone, that
is to say Of the frontier be-
tween Germany land NATO)
and the Soviet bloc. It's secu-
rity advantages to Russia
could be persuasively and
honestly argued. as they were
not in Geneva.
The extension Of the unmili-
tarized area to the eastern
side Of the frontier could also
be argued, as a means Of elm
mating possible border Incl
dents. The Soviets cannot want
to be drawn into war by way
Of their east European clients.
But the Russians for any
concession will demand some
thing else. And ! am convinced
they want large-scale eco
nomic aid. The Soviet bloc
is really in difficulty. There
is something extraordinary in
the constant news of food
shortages in the east Euro
pean countries that were for
merly the granaries Of Europe.
There are shortages Of all the
manufactured goods that would
encourage the peasants to be
more productive. And West
Germany is the greatest fac
tory Of Europe.
There is a persistent belief
notably among industrialists
that Germany can buy her
unity and freedom, without
sacrificing her Western ties,

that they can ransom their

horrendous. Even on the per

the Russians would raise in
the German case, 1t would
amount to So billion and re-
lieve the immediate needs of

This would entail cold,

certainly Chancellor Adenauer
will not go to Moscow only to
repeat old propositions.

The West German press
takes a dim view of the &C.
neva Conference - UNDER
standably so, because the issue
of German reunification was
postponed, with neither side
yielding an inch.
The Soviets, as before, re-
tain the power Of decision.
They have no fear, since &C.
neva. that the United States,
Britain and France, will risk
war for the sake of German
reunif1cation. So the Western
powers are largely out of the
picture. Negotiations from now
on will be between Moscow
and the Federal German Re-
public.
The Soviets are in effective
possession of East Germany.
They have indicated, both for
mally and informally. that
they are willing to yield this
possession, including support
of the Grotewohl regime, for
a price,
Obviously they did not in
vite Chancellor Adenauer to
Moscow In advance of Geneva,
and offer the establishment of
diplomatic relations, for no
specific purpose. The purpose
is to bring about a solution of
the whole German problem.

mate the effect Of the Rus

ion. Gloomy though it be to

This Is an altogether differ

will not be a matter of every
