ence an agreement in principle
was reached TO stockplle Eu-
rope with nuelear weapons
but only after an attempt Is
made to get Russia into q con-
ference on disarmament and
other subjects endangeripg
peace.
A fundamental difference in
point Of view between Mr..
Dulles and some Of the Euro
pean foreign ministers thus
was made relatively apparent.
Mr.. Dulles clearly disiikes talk
ing to the Russians because he
feels Il Is fruitless. Europeans
suppose that a great many
Americans also feel that deal
ing with Communist powers is
q sordid and dirty business
which q clean minded country
ought to avoid.
Europeans for the most part
don't like Communism but
don't share the feeling Of many
Americans that 1t Is q con-
tagion to be avoided.
Pressure 10 Be-Exerted
This is an important differ
ence Of attitude. While Euro
peans feel the late President
Roosevelt went much too far
IN dealing with the Russians
and trusting them. they feel
Mr.. Dulles is far too suspicious.
It Is on this front first that
European diplomats are likely
to exert their earliest and most
urgent pressure.
They feel that agreement By
the Americans TO any talks at
al with the Russians was q
gain. although they overlook
somewhat that America tried
to find a formula for continu-
ing disarmament talks which
the Russians. buoyant about
their sputniks, had bolted in
disdain.
Europeans, notably French
and Germans, feel gains were
made at the summit talks. Re-
luctantly. they gave in to the
Americans in principle" about
bombs and missiles but they got
the Americans, to give way on
the urgency Of talks with Rus
sia. To that extent, both sides
gained. both sides were left

cause Of what he termed "dis-
sension and indecision" In the

Senator Kennedy. speaking at
a $l00-a-plate Democratic Party
dinner last night, criticized the
Eisenhower administrations for
Ieign policy and It's handling Of
assistance to Poland. He also
attacked the budget. Federal aid
to schools and the farm program.
On the Polish situation, he
said: Here was an opportunity
to drive a wedge between the
Soviet Union and its satellites
wit 1out the use Of troops-and
yet this unprecedented opportu-
nifty has been so badly muffed
by our foreign policynakers that
1t may now be too late to obtain
its maximum benefits"
Senator Kennedy said that
the chief reason for "the doubt.
the delay, the failure to match
bold words about liberation
with bold deeds, Is the sharp
division within the Presidents
own party"
Several Republican meet
ings." he added. "have opposed
all assistance to Poland. Senate

denounced all proposals for q

said he realized that great risks
are involved in the loan. but
