conflict, but he commended another
round simply wasn't worth it.
And his view seemed to be uni

The Gigantic Claim

Perhaps because out-and-out
mudslinging is frowned upon this
year, the national candidates of
both parties seemed last week to
have become firmly addicted to use
of 1.-The gigantic claim" a state
ment precariously balanced be-
tween "the whole truth" and "the
big lie
Mr. Eisenhower takes full credit
for racial indignation in the Armed
Forces, which was started while
Harry Truman was President,
ignoring his own testimony opposing
racial "amalgamation" before the
Senate Armed Services Committee
only two months after he resigned
as Army Chief of Staff.
Mr.. Nixon states without quail
fication that President Eisenhower
got us out of one war and kept
us out of Others" Yet, as recently
as 1858, Mr.. Nixon said that on
the decision to order troops to
Korea MIR. Truman was right and
deserves credit" When Mr.. Nixon
remarks that Mr.. Eisenhower kept
us out of Others" he often cites
Indo-China as an example. despite
the fact that in 1854 Mr.. Nixon
himself said that II personally
would support such a decision" Ito
send troops to Indo-China if nee
esSary to stop the Reds.
Mr.. Stevenson complains when
his opposition points to record high
employment. pointing out that it
might be expected to be at peak,
since rising population continually
expands the labor market. But the
Democratic candidate fails to apply
his own logic when he deplores
the condition of small business.
He reports with alarm that small
business bankruptcies are up, but
does not mention the fact that
more persons are starting more
small businesses now than they did
under the Democrats.
Senator Kefauver told Iowa
farmers last week things are go
ing to get worse" under the Re-
publicanS during the next few
months. But he also complained
that the Eisenhower administra-
ton was buying lard and poultry
in order to force farm prices up.
The Senator also has questioned
the payment of soil bank funds
this year. while at the same time
praising the soil bank as Demo-
cratic idea. He told Wilmington
(DelD housewives that the average
family debt has increased under
Mr.. Eisenhower's administration
But he failed to mention that
labor's share of the national in
come is almost 10 cents of every
dollar and that family debts are
up because families are buying more
goods on the installment plan.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Into the Homestretch

The boundaries of the presi-
Dental battlefield last week we're
pulled in on every side as the candi-
dates turned from extensive cam
paigning to intensive campaigning.
From here on in. the drive for
electoral votes will be largely con-
fined to the big States holding the
top electoral vote prizes and the
States that appear so closely di-
vided as to be considered toss
ups"
The first group includes Cali
fornia, with 80 electoral votes;
Pennsylvania. 80; New York. As;
Illinois, 81; Michigan. 20, Ohio.
IS, and New Jersey, 16. In the sec
ond category are Massachusetts,, 16;
Minnesota, IL; Texas, "a, Florida,
10, and Washington and Oregon
together with Is electoral votes
The total of these Is States can
give either party victory, regardless
of a solid or unsolid South. Re-
publican Midwest or a farmers
revolt.
The major candidates own time
tables are evidence enough of the
Importance their respective party
managers place on these crucial
States.
. President Eisenhower carried his
campaign into Pennsylvania last
week, and this week he will go to
the West Coast with a stopover in
Minnesota. Next week, he viii make
a pitch for New York.
. Vice President Nixon made his
second foray into his home State of
California The plans a third and
went into Texas, where Republicans
repeatedly see their chances as much
improved.
. Meanwhile, Adlai Stevenson, re-
turning from New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and New York. moved to the
West Coast via Illinois, and Sena-
tor Estes Kefauver was leaving size
1112 tracks in New Jersey, New York
and the Midwest.
Inc Democratic formula Tor VIC
tory is to Cd hold the party's
historic strength in the South;
(2) increase its margin sufficiently
in Northern cities to offset Re-
publican rural strength and thus
capture the big States, and 80
exploit Republican troubles in sew
eral States-Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia and Minnesota, for instance.
The Republicans, starting with
the great reservoir of Eisenhower
popularity, are concentrating on
such recently torn breaches in the
Democratic bastion as Texas and
Florida and working hard to hold
their natural strength in the
wavering Northwest.

had rejected Soviet proposal for
closer coordination" between the
Yugoslav and Russian Communist
parties.
Both Belgrade and Moscow
sought to minimize reports of dis
senSion over the issue of more
freedom for the Eastern European
satellites. But Borba, the official
Belgrade Communist newspaper, no
longer played down the existence
Of primarily theological" differ
ences. Without going into details,
the newspaper limited that the rift
was based on disagreement on the
degree of Socialist development in
the world"
Close observers read in this the
meaning that the Kremlin was re-
siSting Tito's pressure for a greater
degree of elf-determination in the
satellites. Moscows view was said
to be that an easing of Soviet con-
trols would threaten the existence
OF the satellite governments; Tito
was believed confident that they
were strong enough to take care Of
themselves.
Meanwhile. Marshal Tito was
busy greeting and preparing for a
steady stream of visitors. A Bull
garian delegation is in Belgrade:
Hungary and Romania are due this
month; Luigi Longo, deputy leader
OF the Italian Communist Party, is
IN Belgrade with a group fun of
praise for the works of Tito.
On Friday. a Yugoslav Foreign
Office spokesman. Branko Drasko-
vic, offered reinsurance to the West.
he declared nothing had trans
pired at the Yalta talks that would
affect the orientation of Yuposlav
foreign policy. This reinforced the
belief that American aid to Tito
would be continued.

drowning alone. They climbed
aboard reluctantly. But in the
talks going on in Mr.. Hammar-
skjold's private Office, Foreign Min
lister Pineau was manifestly an I'M
happy man.
The top-level talks started Tues
day night and continued on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,

cigar smoke and black Turkish
coffee, Mr.. Pineau, Mr.. Lloyd and

"Mahmoud the Magnificent" after
the famed Moslem conqueror Of

ner predicting failure; Mr.. Lloyd
was noncommittal; DR.. Fawzi ur-
banely expressed hope that some
thing would be accomplished.
But on Friday came the agree
ment on six principles. In itself
no solution at all. the agreement
seemed to chart the channel well
enough to avert head-on collisions.
1t provided:
. Free and open transit through
the canal without discrimination,
overt or covert.
. Egypt's sovereignty respected.
. Operation shall be insulated
from the politics of any country.
. Tolls to be decided by agree
ment between Egypt and users.
. A fair proportion of tolls allotted
to development.
. Arbitration of disputes.
Plan Doesn't Work
Upon announcement Of the &C
ceptance of the principles the
original plan was to submit them
to Security Council session and
have the Council indorse them,
leaving the time and place of fur
ther negotiations up to Mr.. Ham
marskjold.
But it didn't work out that way.
The Council session was thrown
into an uproar by the British and
French insistence on the "inter-
national control" proposal. This
appeared to cancel the previous
international supervision" COM
promise. Yesterday gloom again
dominated the deliberations and
the whole issue seemed as far from
solution as ever.
The role of the United States in
the entire Suez controversy has
been consistent in purpose If not in
tactics. The purpose was simple:
The preservation of peace. AS was
to be expected. there have been
many cynical observations both
here and abroad on the motives
behind the Dulles policy. Most of
these were to the effect that the
presidential election campaign was
the prime mover behind the State
Departments pressure on Britain

AS for the current series Of clashes
along the Jordanian frontier, most
Israelis argue that they are being
instigated by Jordan for domestic
political reasons. Once the elections
are over next week. Israelis say
they are hopeful Jordanian attacks
will cease and then the retaliatory
raids will end, too.
Turning the coin. Israelis pressed
about the possibility Of themselves

Tito Mission
Still Puzzles

The world was left with its burn
ing curiosity last week as to just
what transpired between Yugo-
slavia's Marshal Tito and the big
wigs of the Soviet Union at Yalta.
But reports trickling from Yugo-
slav sources seemed to confirm
earlier guesses that Marshal Tito

and France to avoid direct action
on Suez.
Denies Political Factor
President Eisenhower took the
occasion of his press conference
Thursday to emphatically deny that
United States foreign policy had
been inhibited by election-year
considerations. And, he said in an
unusually long reply to a reporters
question, that American policy on
the Suez issue has been "clear and
firm" from the beginning. Com
menting on the whole picture of
United States relations with France
and Britain, the President remarked
that neither he nor Mr.. Dulles had
ever heard "any intimation from
anyone in British off1cialdom" that
the British were dissatisfied by our
stand on this thing"
Mr.. Eisenhower was careful to
say "officialdom. The British
press has been almost unanimously
critical, sometimes bitterly so. At
the Conservative Party conference
held last week at the North Wales
resort town of Llandudno, there
was pervading sense of gloom
and Illustration. Despite the appeals
of party chiefs for unity and re-
straint, succession of speakers ex-
pressed sharp criticism of United
States policy and distaste for the
tactics of Mr.. Dulles. Anthony
Nutting, Minister of State for For
eign Affairs in the Eden cabinet,
declared Britain would demand a
solution to the Suez challenge that
was "just. not merely peaceful"
Amid the rising resentment in
London and Paris over the Dulles
policies on Suez, talk of stronger
efforts for some working European
Union plan grew louder last week.

page A-29)
Traffic Still Flows
Meanwhile the Nasser canal adj
ministration seemed to be succeed
ing in keeping the ships moving
through the l03-mile channel at
Suez. There we're minor mishaps-.
four ships. at least, have been re-
ported aground temporarily in the

still at or very near the average
