PARASITIC trip which Presi-
dent Eisenhower has just taken to
NATO capitals was an exercise
In diplomatic Notwithstanding
par excellence.
Many Of the basic reasons for
NATO's existence are being called
into question. Those who believe
a close-knit military alliance is
still vitality needed along the west
ern and southwestern frontiers of
the Soviet empire are being chal-
lenged on every hand.
Here in Paris, Gen. de Gaulle
is questioning whether the inter-
ests of France are served by the
alliance.
In Germany. the Socialist OPP
position is crying more loudly
than ever that Chancellor Ade-
nauer's policy of support for NATO
has reached a dead end-that it
cannot and will not produce the
unification of the fatherland.
In Britain and the United
States, but especially in Britain,
there are many who would grasp
eagerly at a settlement of the
cold war which in effect-what-
ever might be its intent-would
mark the beginning of the end
for NATO.
Fundamental Reossessment
Thus the Eisenhower trip has
not been the pleasant reconnais-
sance mission among friends
prior to a conformation with the
enemy which official briefings
would make it. 1t has been
fundamental reassessment of the
basis of Western policy.
To demonstrate this thesis, one
need only list some of the ques-
lions which, according to excel
lent sources here, will face Amer
lean policy makers when Soviet
Premier Khrushclfev lands in the
United States:
Q NATO was established in 1949
when the United States, with a
monopoly of the atomic bomb,
needed bases from which the more

so that the United States can hit
Russia from its own territory, will
bases along the Soviet periphery
continue to be essential for this
purpose?

reconnaissance and early warn
ing; radar in Turkey and Can

horizons and revealed important
data on Soviet missile launchings.

plete, will be able to detect space
vehicles anywhere, is NATO nee

The Literary Touch
To Khrushchev Tour
BY EARL II. VOSS
Star stan Writer

Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
decision to take Novelist Mikhail
A. Sholokhov with him on his
tour Of the United States is re-
garded here as a clever defensive
maneuver to waro of criticism
for the Pasternak affair.
The Soviet dictator is said to
believe that the Juror In the out
side world over the suppression of
Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhiv-
age" could easily have been
avoided-by censoring only a few
pages and publishing the rest.
But since the Juror did arise
after the Nobel prize committee
honored Mr.. Pasternak - Mr..
Khrushchev is not one to shrink
from a fight. Mr.. Sholokhov ap-s
parently is his answer.
An author OF stature outside
the Soviet Union as well as in
side, Mr.. Sholokhov has been an
outspoken critic Of Mr.. Pasternak.
He is also devoted Communist,
who has lent his pen to sharp
attacks on the United States.
If there are any embarrassing
questions about the Soviet Unions
suppression of Mr.. Pasternak's
book, Premier Khrushchev can
turn to Mr.. Sholokhov to give the
reply. Mr.. Pasternak's work isn't
much anyway, Mr.. Sholokhov can
imply. but all this talk about
Soviet suppression of literature is
absurd.
Controversy Over New Book
Here Mr.. Sholokhov might cite
his own case. He has been re-
ported in a controversy with
Communist Party functionaries
about the tragic ending of his
latest novel.
The hero, a Communist sent
from the city to take over a COL
lective farm. commits suicide in
prison after being arrested on
false charges in one of the purges
Of the l930s. Party leaders wanted
Mr.. Sholokhov to rewrite the end
ing to give it more hopeful tone.
Mr.. Sholokhov refused. Now
that Premier Khrushchev has
made a special trip to Mr..
Sholokhov's home town of Veshen-
skaya, in the Cossack country
around the Don River, it is pre-
sumed that the controversy has
been settled.
And Quiet Flows the Don" is
Mr.. Sholokhov's best known work.
His other major novel is THE
Virgin Soil Upturned.
Excerpts from his newest book.
the sequel to THE Virgin Soil Up
turned" have appeared in Pravda
recently. Some of the characters
in the new novel are said to be
extremely critical of the Com
munist collectivization program.
Hos Deplored StoIin
Mr.. Sholokhov has frequently
spoken out against the Soviet sys-
tenn, although he has been a
member of the Communist Party
since 1882.

Two Big Decisions
Two crucial showdowns lie ahead.
On September 7, Japan's Supreme
Court Is scheduled to open hear

the no-war constitution.
And either this fall or early next

But if the bases are upheld
and the pact ratified, as is ex-

be on the threshold of a possible
alliance that could rival in i'm

Of Britain and America.
Our Stoke in Asia
A highly informed United
States source puts it this. way:
Our stake in Asia is vital. We
have fought in Korea, helped re-
build South Wet Nam, backed up
Nationalist China. Asia has be-
come indispensable to our Sc
curity. Japan is Asia's major
power-for the foreseeable future
far more powerful economically
than Red China. 1t is very much
in our interest to have this power
aligned closely with us in BUSH
ness, trade and development of
Southeast and South Asia"
America has gone all out to
accomplish this by building Japa-
nese prosperity and friendship.
