presidential support, he continued
to take his job seriously. He as
sembled an able staff Of experts
in the field. And he addressed
himself to three basic tasks: To
get the department Of the United
States Government to agree on a
disarmament policy; to get the
NATO allies to agree on a policy;
and to get Russia to agree on a
policy. He had made substantial
progress on the first two. and was
getting ready to begin to nego-
tiate seriously with the Russians
when his mission ended.
The lCBM Problem
Nothing better illustrates the
stumbling blocks that lay in Mr..
StasSen's path than the matter Of
controlling weapons which travel
through outer space, such as the
intercontinental ballistic missile.
The ICBM is headline stuff to-
day, and the Western powers,
aware of current Russian superb
ority in this field, are quite unani-
nous in their desire to bring these
missiles under control. But back
in 1855. when the initials ICBM
were meaningful only to engineers
and military men, Mr.. Stassen was
peddling to all Government agen-
cies who would listen a plan which
offered a method of arresting the
development and manufacture of
these weapons before any nation
could acquire them. Enforcement
of his plan was based on the fact
that these weapons must have
many flight tests before they can
become dependably operational.
and that the flight tests can easily
be detected.
But the control plan never won
approval, until January, 1857.
when Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge made the very general as
sertion that the United States. at
the forthcoming London disarm-
ament conference. would try to
win approval in principle of pro-
poSal to control outer space We
hicles. When Mr.. Stassen went
to London he was unable to make
a concrete proposal along this
line until late summer. and then
all he could say was that the
matter should be referred to a
committee for study. A very short
time later. the USSR announced
that it had operational ICBMs.

With the departure Of Harold
Stassen, the White House Disarm-
ament Staff is scheduled to be
dismantled and a chapter in the
long effort to negotiate peace is
closed.
From the point of view of the
spectator of the popular sport of
bureaucratic pugilism. the chal-
lenger from Minnesota was carried
out of the ring on stretcher after
a bout with Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles that went
more rounds than any fight since
the SullivanLK ilrain match. But
it is much too early to say that
the entire Stassen mission was a
failure.
In many ways. the conflict be-
tween Secretary Dulles and Mr..
Stassen was the product of basic
difference of opinion between
White House and State Depart
ment that existed even before the
Eisenhower administration came
to power.
Presidents see foreign policy
problems in a broader context
than their secretaries of state.
They sense the urgency of the
times. they reflect the concerns of
the electorate and they hope to
write history. In making stirring
speeches about disarmament, both
Presidents Truman and Eisenhower
had some difficulty in finding
words that could inspire the pub
lie without offending the State
Department.
Secretaries of State, on the
other hand. soon become absorbed
by their department. which tends
to see diplomacy as a long I'M
hurried process. They have
learned that it is dangerous to
seek perfection, and they recoil
from acts of dramatic leadership.
To the diplomat there abideth
these three: Patience, power and
professionalism, and the greatest
of these is professionalism.
A Risky Assignment
The appointment of Harold
Stassen as Special Assistant to
the President for Disarmament, in
1855, tended to give institutional
form to this basic split. When he
took the job, Washington wise
acres pointed out that the White
House corridors ran deep in the
gore of special assistants who
came to coordinate" the policies
of major departments.
But there were two reasons why
Harold Stassen seemed to have a
chance to win despite the tradi-
ton: % The multi-national ca
pability to wage nuclear warfare
created a situation new to his
tory. which called for new solu-
tons; 20 President Eisenhower
had exhibited a strong interest in
disarmament, and was willing to
exhibit greater personal leader
ship on this issue.
For brief period, it looked as
if the new alignment would work.
On at least one occasion, in the
spring of 1855, President Eisen-
hover called in the heads of the
defense establishment, and de-
cisively overruled their objections
to disarmament move. 1t looked
at last as though arms control
planning was finding a central
authority.
The turning point for the Stas-
sen mission was September "a,
1855. when the President was
stricken with his heart attack.
From that moment on. Mr..
Stassen was on his own in the
bureaucratic jungle.
In spite Of the loss of active

The outstanding physical char
acteristic of Barry Morris Gold
water is his chin. 1t is strong and
deeply cleft in the best Western
style. as BELTS native of Ari-
IONA. 1t is loaded with determi-
nation. as BELTS a sternly con-
sentative Republican. 1t is CHS
eled. veritable sculptor's dream,
as BELTS a United States Senator.
In fact, the only real trouble
with Barry Goldwater's chin. in
his friends view, is that he will
be leading with it in the weeks
Immediately ahead.
The situation is this: Senator
Goldwater. as leader of the right
wing Of the Senate Rackets Com
mittee. has promised the world a
few fast rounds with United Auto
Workers President Walter p Reu-
Their when the JAW comes under
public scrutiny before the COM
mittee on Tuesday.
The Senator has gumption. he
has presence and he has slight
knowledge Of labor matters. But
most observers-friends. foes and
neutrals alike-believe he will
prove no match for Mr.. Reuther.
who is one Of the quickest think
ing, fastest talking and sharpest
tongued men in the labor move
ment.
He's Determined
Happily for those who enjoy
watching fight, Senator Gold
waters cronies appear TO have
been unsuccessful In getting him
to avoid the encounter. Those
who counsel him that Walter will
make monkey out Of you. Barry"
are relegated TO outer darkness as
fellows Of little faith. Those who
urge him to save his energy for
his tough reelection battle against
Gov. land ex-senator McFaI-
land this fall get only a piercing
look from the blue Goldwater eyes
and a grin.
There are three explanations for
this determination TO walk into
a buzz saw. Perhaps the Senator
has something on the JAW chief
that no one knows about. This is
doubtful. Or maybe he is blissfully
unaware of his antagonists capa-
bilities. This is even more unlikely.
Probably the real answer is that
Barry Goldwater likes to under
take hazardous jobs.
For years the Arizona Senator
has sought out perilous undertake
ings. He has shot the rapids OF
the Colorado through the Grand
Canyon on four differfnt occa-
sions. He was an ea mach
buster"-one who exceeds the

Texas, like Florida. has a pro-
vision for closing It's schools in
case military force" is used to
back up desegregation. 1t has a
pupil placement law that permits
parents to withdraw their children
from integrated schools.
Last year. the legislature passed
an act prohibiting any school dis
trict from abolishing its segre-
gated system until the voters in
the district authorize 1t by
referendum.
The State also has adopted a
number Of "anti-NAACP" laws.

with which to contend. It's ration
ing problems are stupendous. The
Scandinavians, for example, re-
quire special kinds of sea food and
the Indians want exotic spices.
Complex Operation
UNEF now has forces in nine
places on three continents: along
the GAIA strip; along the East
Central Sinai frontier between
Egypt and Israel; in Sharm ell
Sheikh; in GAIA town; at Rafah,
where there are a Canadian and
Indian administrative group, other
support units and a Finnish guard
detachment; at Naples, where an
RCAF communication flight is
stationed to carry mail and sup
plies in and out of the Sinai area:
and at Ell Arish, where there is an
other RCAF communication flight
and a small Brazilian guard de-
tachment.
In the first 10 months of its ex-
istence. UNEF received 1880 tons
of equipment and food by sea, an
other 1880 tons by air. Special
hospitals and post Office facilities
have been required. 1t has even
arranged a leave center near Bel
rut, Lebanon. to which its troops
can retreat in modest numbers for
a rest.
All this for a border patrol OPP
Grafton along a total Of about 10
miles Of frontier.
The Algerian-Tunisian border is
500 miles long. The French esti-
mate 10000 troops would be re-
quired to patrol it adequately.
They estimate the cost of such a
force at 500 million a year.
What the cost of a permanent
police force would below large
a force would be required-has not
been publicly discussed either by
Washington officials working on
the problem or by the U. N. group.
But it presumably would have to
be at least large enough to step
into situation like that in Tu-
nisia this month.
These problems of finance. force
composition. logistic support and
nationality are all formidable. But
they do not dampen the enthusi-
asm of the advocates of an inter-
national force.
Not Optimistic
The advocates are not optimistic
about getting the U. N. to foot
the bill for a new force along
the Algerian-Tunisian border I'M
der present conditions.
But the need will no doubt
arise again for a new UNEF, they
say. Then there may be pressure
for permanent international
police force. perhaps one that
could be ION call"
Officials have yet another pos
sible use in mind for the UNEF
concept. This one in the dis
armament field.
If the time ever comes when
a disengagement of Soviet and
free-world forces were to be at
tempted, either in Europe or
Korea or elsewhere. an interna-
tional police force made UP by
the small powers might provide
the inspection corps needed to
give the disengagement effect.
The future of the UNEF con-
cept, then, may be rosy in the long
range, but the immediate obstacles
in its path are as formidable as
those it faced when it raced to
place itself between the Egyptian
and Israeli forces in the Sinai
desert in the winter Of 1861.

for instance. be expected to accept
a UNEF which included Israeli
volunteers?
Another formidable, although
probably not inSurmountable,
problem would involve the quar-
tering of a permanent interna-
tional police force. Where should
it be deployed? Occupying
armies speaking strange Ian
guages are always unpopular. It
would be hard for UNEF to escape
this stigma. Persuading nations
to take the force in might be a
real problem.
And the sheer weight of Ian
guage and national habit prob
lens among a multinational force
would be a real trial. The Sinai
UNEF has a good dozen languages

ton was recast into q new posi-.

imous Western support.
According to observers, when
Mr.. Stassen was at last ready to
present the Western package at
one Of the final meetings Of the
conference. he read a set OF pro-
poSals which did not go as far as
the talking paper" The Rus
slams rejected them with the first
harsh words Of the conference
But it is authoritatively reported
that they took the trouble TO seek
Mr. Stassen out privately to ex-
tend friendly personal greeting
and to say something like this:
I'VE could embarass your Govern
ment by publishing your talking
paper and showing how you with
drew from 1t. But we never will.
We want to keep open the cham
neiS for informal. -the-record
conversation on disarmament. We
appreciated your courtesy"
Mission UnoccompIished
At London, Mr.. Stassen had no
way of knowing how far the Rus
slams would go toward signing q
genuine disarmament agreement
with real enforcement provisions.
There is still no way of knowing.
But he wanted to put them to the
test, and the fact that he never
had an opportunity to do so was
a source Of great Illustration.
What he did have an oppor-
tunity to do was to obtain from
the various departments of Gov
eminent here at home a set Of
basic proposals which now com.
prise the Western package.
He also managed to achieve
some degree of unity among the
Western powers on basic principles
of disarmament.
Most impressive. however. has
been Mr.. Stassen's achievement
with the Russians. He moved
them along to the point where
they were willing to talk. for the
first time. about international
inspection of the interior OF RUS
sia. This important concession
was made twice, once in connec..
ton with zones of aerial inspec-
ton but the two sides never
agreed on what zones would be-
Inspected and once in connection
with enforcement of a plan for
cessation Of bomb tests. He also
won Russian acceptance OF United
States figures for force levels. and
OF United States suggestions for
deposition OF agreed lists of excess
ornaments in arms control depots.
And he persuaded them to drop
their demand that. Ban the
Bomb" must be a prerequisite to
first steps toward arms control.
Finally. his logged persistence,
his refusal to recriminate, his
sincere desire to lift the threat Of
thermonuclear war helped to off,
set a growing anti-American feel
ing in many parts Of the world. =
