Harold E. Talbot, Secretary
of the Air Force, is considered
expendable by at least some of
President Eisenhower's more
influential advisers. They do
not believe that Secretary Tai
bott will satisfy the necessities
of the unpleasant situation in
which he now finds himself by
resigning his profitable con-
nection with New York busi-
ness engineering firm.
In the unhappily persistent
way in which fate presents
thorns along with its gifts of
roses. President Eisenhower's
return from his successes at
Geneva, which his assistants
had hoped to turn into a
triumph. was marred by the

President Nixon, and the Tai

turned out to greet the Pres

bareheaded in a pelting shower
because Vice President Nixon
had barred umbrellas. He said
this was for obvious reasons. -
the reason being that the pres
ence of umbrellas might re-
mind someone of the picture
of Neville Chamberlain bran

for certification from the Sen

done no wrong. He is very un-
likely to get such clearance.
It is doubtful, too, that an
investigation into Secretary
Talbott's affairs will end with
consideration of his relation
ships with the engineering
firm. An article just published
by Fortune magazine charg-
ing a continued mess" in the
General Services Administra-

Some Democratic Senators.
not on the Government Opera
tions Committee, are itching
to take on these other aspects
of the Talbot affair.
Some Democrats are dubious
of the political benefits to be
received from the committee S
hearings. The committee is
headed by Senator Mcclellan
of Arkansas who is not a strong
party man and who will be
less Influenced by national
political considerations than
some other committee chair
men.
Acutely aware of the en-
hancement of the Presidents s
popularity by the Geneva
conference, these Democrats
would like nothing better thar
to undermine it with a long
and juicy scandal involving
his administration. They will
not give up easily their hopes

The controversy over the

Western trade barriers"
The most pressing Soviet OBJ
jective at the moment is more
trade relations with the West
and a decided weakening of
the embargo on strategic
goods. When the President
and Secretary of State Dulles
told members of Congress that
no deals had been made in
private and that nothing had
been given away" at Geneva
by the American delegates,
members of Congress were re-
assured, though some were still
quite puzzled by the following
two paragraphs in President
Eisenhower's last speech to
the Geneva Conference, which
said:
"The work of our foreign
ministers as they strive to
implement our directives will
be of great Importance, per-
haps of even more than what
we have done here. Theirs is
the task. rejecting the sub
stantive policies of their gov
ernments, to reach agreement
on courses of action which we
here could discuss only in
broad terms. know we all
wish them well.
II trust we will all support
the necessary adjustments
which they may find our gov
ernments must make if we are
to resolve our differences in
these matters"
What adjustments" did the
President have in mind? Is
this a word for compromises"
or concessions? Plainly there
may have been some private
discussions that, Intentionally
OF unintentionally, left an in
timation of possible yielding
on the part of the United
States. and presumably the one
thing that it might have COW
cred was a relaxation of the
embargo. 1t could turn out to
be a political tragedy for 1856
if it develops that the Eisen-
hover administration is yield
ing on the trade embargo and
is getting nothing substantial
in return. Memories Of Yalta
would be revived on the stump.

Now that the two congress
sional committees which deal
with foreign affairs have been
given confidentially by Secre-
tary Of State Dulles an outline
of what happened in Geneva
last week, it may be said that
outwardly there is a we'll
designed pattern of optimism
but realistically there is a con-
siderable amount of caution
and skepticism in the Ameri-
can Government as to whether
anything substantial will ever
come out Of future confer
ences. The optimism is at
present more of a hope and
an inference than a conclu-
sion based on any concrete
evidence of a change in the
Soviet position.
Statesmen. of course, have
to say publicly nice things
about the Geneva Conference.
In a sense, their tactics are
right because, if Soviet Russia

Presidents Success Has Roots Going

The outstanding impression

ond World War when Russia
began the cold war"
We have been on the de-

the moves, We were kept busy
in counter-maneuvers to meet
the successive Soviet thrusts.
Those included absorption Of
her small neighbors in East
ern Europe by subversion, thus

Europe; incitement of Far
Eastern satellites in Korea and
Indo-C China and Red China,
itself to aggression; con-

create anxieties among us and
the other free nations.
At Geneva, however, it was
plain to all the world that a
change has come about. Presi-
dent Eisenhower was in COM
mand and called the plays.
1t detracts nothing from the
bold and imaginative manner
in which he capitalized his
opportunity there to point
out that that opportunity was
made possible by a series Of
events over a long period.
