DAVID LAWRENCE

Friends of former Presi-
dent Truman who know what
happened in the missile pro-
gram under his administra-
ton are frankly amazed at
his comment that a missile
program which he started was
deliberately abandoned by the
present administration.
Mr.. Truman was referring
to the mission which he gave
K. T. Keller. formerly the
head of the Chrysler Corpora
ton, to coordinate missile
planning. He says he gave
him full charge. but he really
didn't. The work of Mr..
Keller was not terminated by
the Eisenhower administra-
ton, but by the auto execu-
tive himself.
The facts were given on
November /, by Arthur Krock
in the New York Times after
q talk with Mr.. Keller. The
former President had ample
opportunity to have his men,
DRY refreshed by reading the
newspaper article. but he
ignored it and preferred in
stead to charge the Eisen-
hover administration with
a refusal to continue Mr.. KEEL
Ter in the task begun prior
to 1858. Mr.. Krock wrote:
when the Truman admin
istration was replaced, Presi-
dent Eisenhower asked KEEL
Ter to remain and to take on
the role of plenary admins
traitor that he had declined
when proffered by President
Truman, and now once again
declined. He was then i'm
portuned' to remain on his
own terms. and did so re-
main. as an analyst and APP
praiser' until late 1858. At
that point, estimating the
missile program to be pro-
crossing effectively and at a

chairman of the House For
eign Relations Committee,
did not enjoy the Middle
East assignment he under
took for the State Depart
ment. He is said to be warn
ing Democrats that they are
ION their own" when they
work for Mr.. Dulles.
Leading Democrats realize
that Mr.. Eisenhower is pc
culiarly dependent upon Mr..
Dulles technical proficiency.
They also feel that Mr.. Dull
les understands Mr.. Eisen-
hover thoroughly. When
they criticize the Secretary
Of State for playing politics.
as they invariably do, they
will concede if pressed that
Mr.. Dulles is protecting his
own position in a difficult
situation.
The bare bones of that
situation are no secret. The
Presidents principal prob
lens in foreign policy are
with the Old Guard of his
party; yet he is unwilling to
take on the Old Guard in a
showdown fight.
This leaves Mr.. Dulles de-
pendent on Democrats for
support in foreign affairs but
forbidS him to challenge the
Republican opposition. Mr..
Dulles is a presidential ap-
pointee. On every political
question then he cynically
sacrifices the Democrats who
help him to the necessity of
peace at any price with the
Old Guard who oppose him.

DORIS FLEESON

President Eisenhower is
now on notice that he must
get his own space-age ducks
in a row.
Adlai Stevenson's view that
he cannot help. the Presi-
dent formulate policy is un-
reservedly popular in the
Democratic Party. Many in
f1uential Democrats feel Mr..
Stevenson was a little extra
generous in promising to con-
suit on the Eisenhower pro-
gram as 1t develops.
Their argument is that the
President was elected largely
on the basis of his military
competency and that it is
fair to hold him to account
for the present situation and
to demand a program from
him. That program. they
promise. will be judged en-
its merits and not politically.
In the present mood of the
Democrats, it appears I'M
likely that anyone of STRAIT
ure among them can be
brought into the administra-
ton short of a direct personal
appeal by the President. This
the President still SHES from:
at no point in his several
weeks Of discussion with Sec
rotary of State Dulles did Mr..
Stevenson hear from Mr.. Eli
senhower.
Mr.. Dulles also has been
unable to persuade former
Representative James Rich
ards of South Carolina to
help with the immediate
problems of the NATO alli-
ance. Mr.. Richards, a former

satisfactory rate, and having
spent himself physically, Kel-
Ter on his own insistence re-
tired.
80 the difference between
the former Presidents recol-
lection and those Of others
principally concerned is
fundamental: Keller was
never in full charge Of the
missile program; he refused
the role. He was not dis
missed by President Eisen-
hover, but urged by the
Executive as by his prede-
cessor to function under the
McCone prescription. And
Keller remained with the
new administration in his
original capacity as long as
he chose"
This correspondent talked
with Mr.. Keller a few days
after the above article APP
peared, and the former
Chrysler president completely
confirmed the viewpoint ex-
pressed therein. He added
that he didn't believe in the
GEAR" idea, as did Under
secretary McCone, because of
a feeling that anyone who
wanted to get results either
had to be an important Of
fetal of the Defense Depart
ment or an outside adviser.
When he left Washington,
he felt the Defense Depart
ment was getting along very
we'll with the project and
could handle it without
someone in his place.
Mr.. Keller, in his role of
adviser and analyst, did a
monumental job. Everyone
here knew he had the con-
fidence of the White House.
and he was able within the
machinery of the Govern
ment to get all the co-opera-
ton he needed.

On Guard Against Khrushchev

1t is fortunate the majority
of the "ostriches" who have
been political evaluators in
the State Department and
the Pentagon in the past are
no longer there. The princi-
pal officials in those two de-
partments whose job is to
advise President Eisenhower
do not hide their heads in
the sand. They are unani-
nous in their belief that war
could come almost at any
time. because nobody knows
what Khrushchev may decide
in one of his moods"
1t is for this reason that
the armed forces have been
ordered recently to make a
show of strength and flex
their muscles. The launching
of the two earth satellites by
the USSR was impressive
especially from the propa-
ganda point of view-but our
military experts believe firmly
that the age of pushbutton
war and the employment Of
unnamed machines is still
some years away. If Khru-
shchev decides on a show
down with the hated free
world he will have to rely on
manned implements of war
in which the quality of the
fighter must be as good as
that of the machine. For this
reason, we have begun to show,
the Soviet dictator what we
might be able to do should
he push the free world too
far.
OF course, the majority Of
the foreign affairs analysts
in the Government contend
that the Khrushchev antics
have one real goal: To force
the leaders of the West to
meet with him at a summit
conference" The history of
the last two wars-World
War II and the Korean
police action"-has shown
that we win military victories
but lose them at the diploma
tic conference table. He may
hope that history will repeat
itself once more.
