President Eisenhower and Sec
rotary of State Dulles are ex-
pected to dispatch this week a
new positive" rejection of So
Wet Premier Bulganin's persist
Ient proposal for a Russian
American friendship treaty.
Diplomatic officials speculated
that one way to handle the Bull
Iganin offer would be to make a
counter proposal of a treaty ac-
Iceptable to the United States.
Britain and France. But they
have had trouble finding a FORM
iula which would do this within
the requirements of American
policy.
Various drafts have been
worked out in the State Depart
ment for, consideration by Mr..
Eisenhower and Mr.. Dulles but
in the end the two leaders viii
have to make the final decision.
Mr.. Dulles Is understood to have
come back from his Bahamas
vacation Rith some ideas of the
line to take.
Early Action Necessary
Mr.. Eisenhower returned to
Washington yesterday for the
| first time in 10 days. There Is a
deadline on their action on the
Bulganin proposal, which the
Soviet Premier renewed most re-
Gently February /. because MIR.
Dulles leaves Friday for a month
long tour of Asia and the Far
East.
A positive reply instead Of
another more or less bald re-
lection is considered important
by diplomatic officials. They feel
there is a need to take the pro-
Ipaganda and political initiative
away from Russia on this as well
as other issues. Even many Of
the experts Of his own State De-
lpartment do not appear to share
the full degree Of optimisp abont
Western strength In the cold war
which Mr.. Dulles Indicated to
the senate Foreign Relations
Committee yesterday.
In fact. it seems likely that
Mr.. Dulles will find himself in
increasing controversy on his es-
innate OF the situation, perhaps
with some Of his own words and
actions of the past employed In
argument against him.
Observers wondered today
whether he may not have been
,reacting TO critical, election
year questions from Democrats

IRemon as q Washington mem
Der is Claude w. Owen, named
last year.
The law also requires that one
of the two Washington members
be selected from among not
less than three nominees" of the
District Commissioners.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said the Board of Commissioners
did not exercise this formal re-
quirement in the case of Mr..
Owens appointment but that
we are doing so now"
He confirmed that Mr.. Remon
was one Of the three names sent
to the White House, but declined
TO identify the other two.
Mr.. Spencer said he favored
Mr.. Remon because I'VE think
he has done an excellent job"
Named by Mr.. Truman
Spokesman for the profess
sional planning groups said they
felt strongly that a landscape
architect should be a member
because SO many policy decisions
require technical experience in
this field. They note that this
field was represented contin-
uously on the commission from
its origin in 1926 until l947.
In addition to the five citizen
members named by the Presi-
dent, the commission Is made UP
of seven ex-officio members who
serve automatically because Of
Government jobs they hold. The
Government job-holders are in
cluded because of the Federal
Governments interest in Capital
development.
Mr.. Remon was appointed to
the commission and named its
chairman by President Truman
six years ago. In 1852. however,
Joseph D. Lehman, now sheriff
OF Cook County. ILL.,, was APP
pointed and designated chair
man. Subsequently, Mr.. Bar
tholomew was given the chair
manship with his appointment.

when he emphasized one side
of the story of the Soviet-Amer-
lean cold war conflict almost to
the exclusion of the other side,
which he has also emphasized
in the past.
Changing Policy Seen
Mr.. Dulles told the committee
that the Soviet Union is chang
ing its policies at this minute
in Moscow because the intoi-
erance and Violence employed in
Stains day "have failed" He
said the Russians had made
very little progress" with their
new emphasis on peace and CO.
operation with the rest of the
world and their soft pedaling Of
tough talk and threats.
Mr.. Dulles has spoken in a
similarly hopeful vein about the
success of the Western policies
of unity and strength before but
has normally balanced his COM
ments with warnings Of what
these changes mean for the fu-
ture.
Many experts here believe that
the new Soviet line offers for
Imidable threats because Of the
danger that the Russians will
gradually infiltrate neutral ma
Itions by economic and military
assistance and may even under
mine Allied countries. In recent
months they have sold arms to
Egypt, have developed more
trade with India and have even
offered financial help to Paki-

that to run again he would have

that he should have all the in

Since the President has said
he would not be honest with

than that, there is widespread
belief his announcement may

along with that of Mr.. Remon.
It was understood, however. that
the major recommendation was
for Mr.. Remon's reappointment.
Many Differences Noted
Mr.. Remon, retired C&P Tele-
phone Co. executive, is chairman
of the District Redevelopment
Land Agency and president of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations.
On many key issues before the
commission, Mr.. Remon has
clashed directly with Chairman
Harland Bartholomew and other
members with professional plan
ming backgrounds.
At times, particularly on high
way issues, other members have
made no secret of the belief that
Mr.. Remon has failed to give
enough consideration to basic
planning principles in his votes.
Mr.. Remon, in turn. has accused
some members of failing to face
realities on municipal problems,
The names sent to the White
House reflect this basic conflict
over professional planners as
against non-professionals on the
commission.
In the case OF some previous
commission appointments. the
issue has developed around
whether a Washington resident
or an out-of- towner should be
named.
That problem did not arise
this time because the commits
sion's law requires that two OF
its five White House-appointed
citizen members be bona fide
