Value to COP. 1856 Ticket Discussed
He Is Pure Poison to Democrats

The controversial Vice Presi-
dent of the United States,
young Mr.. Richard Nixon, is
currently out of the headlines.
This may mean much or little.
but it is a subject of intense
discussion in quarters where
men habitually wet their fin
gers to see which way the
political winds are blowing.
There is some reason to be-
lieve that the subject of Nixon's
value to the ticket in 1856 is
being discussed in the business
and public relations circles
around the President. Tip
sheets have suggested he will
enter a hugely lucrative prac-
tice Of law. He is not being
sought out as he was formerly,
and it has been quite some
time since he made a key
speech on policy for the
administration, such as his
maybe troops for Indo-C China"
remarks to the editors or his
answer on foreign policy to
Adlai Stevenson.

Chiefs of Staff could do their
defense planning a lot more
easily If they could know the
military strength and DISPOSE
tions existing in the satellite
countries.
Oddly, the member of the
Soviet delegation who ap-
peared to most observers at
Geneva as the real boss Of
the quartet was Marshal
Zhukov. Although silent at
official gatherings, his de-
meanor and obvious self-as-
surance at social gatherings
set him apart from his some
times-uneasy colleagues, who
appeared to look to the
doughty marshal for guidance.
1t was being speculated. Of
course, that Marshal Zhukov
might well emerge as the sue
cessor to the Stain mantle
after the next Soviet purge.
Geneva has shown that the
Russians have not really
changed. They are only using
a genial, almost capitalistic
smile to mask the same old
Communist intrigue. And, as
usual, they have once again
confirmed what all who deal
with them have long known
that they are willing to settle
any problem around q con-
ference table, so long as the
settlement is made on their

B. A dramatic rebuttal Of
the Soviet propaganda Of the
last 10 years that America Is

which encircle Russia with air

ministers at Geneva in Octo-

intensity.
E. Relaxation of war tension
for the time being. This is an
advantage but it also has its
dangers. For If the West gives
the impression that ID will &C
cept the Russian concept Of
peaceful coexistence" 1t could
be interpreted by the liberty
loving elements behind the
Iron Curtain as an acceptance
by the West Of the status
quo," a freezing of the exist
ing condition of slavery in
Eastern Europe, and a remov-
al Of all hope Of liberation as
the West may allow trade in
strategic goods to build up the
power Of the Kremlin over the
people.
American statesmen, how
ever, can be expected to exer-
else care in the next few
months to eliminate any such
misunderstanding.
Based on what has been re-
vealed thus far and assuming
that there have been no prom
ises made in private by the

appears to have been more
Of plus than a minus for the

President Eisenhower would

They, themselves, do not ask
him to do any business for
them; they prefer to handle
their own.
Significantly, the Presidents
latest remarks in connection
with the Vice Presidency were
an assertion of the Presidents
right to choose his running
mate. The professionals agreed
that that was that: they will
continue their own careful
public silence.
Mr.. Nixon's friends hailed It
as proof positive that the
ticket would again be Eisen-
hover and Nixon. They have
possibly suggested to him that,
since he appeared to be in
such good shape. it might be
better If he did keep his head
down for awhile.
Mr.. Nixon, who has come so
far so fast, is naturally an OBJ
ject Of some rivalry. Others
privately think they would do
much more to add strength to
the ticket next year.

to defend Mr.. Nixon. They

the Russian plans for Ger
many were to be realized.
The smiling. jovial, infor-
NAL manner adopted so sur
prisingly by the Russian de-
legation was simply putting q
more graceful facade on the
same old grim building. OF
course, the new Soviet atti-
tude of eased restrictions on
travel, easier-to-get visas, cor
dial welcomes for foreign visit
ors and all the other startling
departures from the usual Red
police suspicious will ease ten
sion, so far as they 60. But the
basic character of the Com
munist bear remains, and as
our American national parks
warn. it is not wise to feed
the bear even when he ap-
pears friendly and harmless.
The Russians, of course,
were unable to summarily re-
ject President Eisenhower's
surprise disarmament proposal.
To do so would have been a
damaging propaganda blow to
the Red pose as the world
leader In the fight for peace.
But neither could they accept
the proposal at its face value.
The Soviet Union as Of to-
day is known to be extremely
well informed on the details Of
American military facilities
and dispositions. Our secur-
ity set-up has never been strict
enough to prevent their knew
ing almost anything they want
to know. Communist traitors
in our midst have fed the facts
of Americas military estab-
lishment very efficiently into
the Kremlin's spy network.
Thus Russian acceptance of
the Presidents plan would
have meant great advantage to
the United States. and very
little to the Reds. Our Air
Force would like nothing bet
ter than to get a good close
look at the Soviet forbidden
atomic areas in the Urals and
Evening star., 1955-07-25

The first Soviet propaganda
move was to advance CO.
existence as essential to peace.
Coexistence actually exists,
now, as it always has, between
states and societies of diff
ferent traditions, outlook. eco
nomic forms, and social in
stitutions. Peaceful coexist-
ence can only mean accept
ing this diversity and con-
cluding not to overcome it, in
behalf Of any particular state
system, by war.
But the abandonment Of
war does not imply the
abandonment by free men to
the spreading, by whatever
means, of forms Of state and
society repugnant to the spirit,
ideals, attitudes, and institu-
tions for which men have re-
peatedly bled and died, and
which, in however imperfect
form, have created the most
advanced cultures and the
most happy and prosperous
societies. These must still de-
fend themselves and still ad-
vance their concepts with
energy and conviction. For If
they do not they will perish
from the scene Of history as
surely as though defeated and
subjected by war.
The abandonment of war
would by no means imply that
the Communist states have
abandoned their fixed purpose
never to rest until communism

The evidence is plain now
that the Russians really do
want an end to the cold war
if they can have it on their
own terms.
To be sure, there were a few
apparent concessions offered
In the Geneva talks, enough
to set the Western world
aglow with renewed hopes
that the Communist chief
tains had experienced a
change of heart, that all the
wickedness and stubborness.
the aggression and subversion
of former days was the fault
of Stain and Beria, both now
happily deceased.
The first unmistakable tip
of to the real Russian atti-
tude came when the question
of German unity was side
tracked. Despite the new tao
tics of the Soviet strategiStS
in allowing the question to re-
main open rather than alb
ruptly slamming the door
on it as in the past, the fact
remains that there will be no
German unity unless and until
the West, or the Germans,
themselves, meet the Soviet
terms.
When Chancellor Adenauer
journeys to Moscow, he will
be told those terms. And his
Moscow hosts will know that
rejection of those terms will
mean serious political trouble
for the Adenauer coalition
government. The Kremlin
can afford to wait on the
German question, since they
can hardly lose in any event.
The one thing the Soviet
Union fears is a reunited

and rearmed. Even the Eden

united Germany with the

earth.
How then, without war, do
they anticipate achieving it?
Through penetration into
the domestic institutions Of
states and by international
agreements, treaties, and in
stitutions within which they
can eventually gather all power
into their own hands.
One can coexist with COM
munism. One can trade with
Communist states-a strictly
business matter determined by
immediate mutual interest.
One can cooperate with Com
munist persons and states for
strictly limited purposes. where
no fundamental issues Of diff
ference are involved--such as
fighting cholera or malaria.
, But one can never be friends
with q Communist, whatever
charms, talents. or strictly per-

this year when he repeatedly
warned the party it was not

hover. Now that g. o. P. criti.
cism Of Ike has simmered to a

There is not the slightest

Running for vice-President
is roughly the equivalent of
eyegouging at a tennis match,
in United States opinion. It's
just not done. In part this may
be because originally the Vice
President was the man who
received the second highest
