He Makes Enemies

His feud with Democrats on the
Joint Atomic Energy Commission
of Congress reached a point where.
it was apparent to President
Eisenhower. he would stand little
chance of being confirmed for
reappointment as Acc chairman.
Early last year Admiral Strauss
announced that he would not seek
another term as the head of the
atomic energy agency. He retired
briefly to private life and then,
last October, was named by Mr..
Eisenhower to succeed Sinclair
Weeks as Secretary of Commerce.
The President was taking a
calculated risk. He knew that
Senate Democrats would seize on
the opportunity to rake over the
Dixon-Yates issue, when Admiral
Strauss name was submitted for
confirmation.
But he knew also that the
former chairman of the Acc, who
possessed a distinguished back
ground in investment banking,
could be depended on to do an
excellent job as Secretary Of
Commerce.
Last week the President and
Admiral Strauss began to pay the
price they knew would be exacted
for the act of elevating the contro-
versial former head of the Acc to
cabinet rank.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Seeking the Right Mixture

"To agree to negotiate is not to
abandon ones principles: II Is to
find the true forum to maintain
them. What tDe haze non to do
NTH all our allies Is to tDork out
a common policy Which combines
frmness Nth reasonableness. 1t
is the right mixture OF these
Which Wiu once again prouide
strength and unity OF the free
tDorld."
Thus spoke Britain's Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan as he
stepped of the sleek Comet jet
liner that had borne him. along
with Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd and host Of assistants
with impressive red dispatch
boxes, from Ottawa to Washington
on Thursday.
Mr.. Macmillan came at Q time
when the problems confronting the
Western world were. to use his
own words, both serious and
urgent" He had been to Moscow.
where he gagged the temper Of
the Soviet leaders in a To-day
visit: he had been to Paris for
talks with the man who seeks
to regain for France the glory
that was once supreme; he had
been to Bonn to talk with the
octogenarian Konrad Adenauer.
Chancellor of the German Fed.
eral Republic. who more than any
Western statesman insists on Q
stern. unyielding attitude toward
the Kremlin. Now he is in the
United States, to put his suave
and persuasive good Offices to
work in an attempt to formulate
a common policy for the nego-
tiations with the Soviet bloc that
are now accepted as inevitable.
The Prime Minister'S task is
far from an easy one. Added to
the bewildering completely OF his
mission is the illness OF Secretary
of State Dulles, long the strong
spokesman of the Western world.
Mr.. Dulles, under treatment for
abdominal cancer in Walter Reed
Hospital, conferred with the
President, Mr.. Macmillan ana
Mr.. Lloyd Friday ON the chal-
lenge to the West brought by the
Soviet Union on the Berlin ques-
ton. But he will be unable to
take an active part in the con-
versations now taking place at
the presidential rustic retreat at
Camp David, in the Catoctin
Mountains of Maryland, and it
appears unlikely that he will be
a participant in the Foreign
Ministers meeting now tentatively
scheduled for May IL at Geneva.

Western positions. But he did
stress, with great good humor.
Moscow's willingness to negotiate.
The date for the settlement of
the Berlin partition. which he
himself had set last November for
May, was arrived at by looking
at the ceiling" said Mr.. Khru-
Shchev. If solution took longer.
he added, that was all right.
1--WE have been saying all along
that the only aim behind the
Soviet governments proposals is
to put an end to the after-effects
of World War II, to normaliZe the
situation in Berlin and throughout
the whole of Germany, and thus
make a good start toward ending
the cold war;"
Thus mildly did the Soviet
Premier begin his statement to
the newsmen at the Kremlin press
conference. He praised Mr.. Eisen-
hover for his Monday broadcast.
although regretting some earlier
remarks Of the President Cat his
press conference the previous
week.. He also found hopes for
peace in the expressed opinions

Some Disengogement

Most Western diplomats see
the Soviet Unions aims in forcing
the Berlin question to be long,
range ones. BY applying the pres
sure of time, the Kremlin may be
able to achieve this year. even this
summer, goals that might other
wise remain unreachable for years.
Primary in the Soviet program
Is the guarantee of some kind Of
security for Central and Eastern
Europe. Such a guarantee, diplo-
mats point out, would involve a
measure of naturalization or dis
engagement, with a withdrawal Of
military forces on both sides.
What Mr.. Macmillan and Mr..
Eisenhower must discuss during
their three days of informal talks
at Camp David is the extent to
which the West can meet the
Moscow conditions for the future
of Europe. In effect, the two
statesmen will try to work out a
program for balancing any con-
cessions by the West with SUBJ
stantially equal concessions from
the Soviet bloc. Particularly vex-
ing will be the question of dis
engagement. since military with
drawals in Europe would seriously
affect the position of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
For yesterdays discussions, Mr..
Eisenhower summoned defense
and atomic officials from WASH
ington. Deputy Defense Secre-
tary Donald Quarles. Chairman
John A. McCone of the Atomic
Energy Commission, and DR..
James r. Killian, jr., the Presi-
dents special adviser on science
and technology. joined the Camp
David talks.
There was no hint from the
Presidents staff as to what speci-
nc items called for the summons
to this group. but it was revealed
last week that Mr.. Macmillan
seeks to modify the Vests demand
that ban on nuclear testing be
accompanied by an elaborate in
Spection system. The British
Prime Minister has urged breaking
the impasSe at the Geneva talks
on a test ban by reducing the
number of inspection procedures
and stations required for an
agreement.

The hazelnut and alder trees

Star magnolias, dogwood. for

The planting season is as
exciting to the old lady in her
rose garden as to the truck gar
dener anxiously testing the
good earth's moisture.
A fresh start is desired by the
farmer whose winter wheat and
barley suffered through lack of
snow. Nationally, the picture is
for a bountiful spring and sum-
mer, with wheat and corn
reaching all-time peak produc-
ton.
Rains hereabouts have delayed
planting. Now spring, with its
ascending temperatures and
throbbing life, promises the
ever-fresh miracle of a new
start.

cannot fail to note what are, in
our view, constructive considera-
tons in their announcements"
But Mr.. Khrushchev flushed
angrily at one point in his ex-
change with questioning reporters.
If a Soviet citizen, he said, had
made the warlike statements Of
Admiral Arleigh Burke, Chief Of
Naval Operations, and of Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor, Army Chief
of Staff, in their testimony before
congressional committees about
American capacity to destroy the
Soviet Union with nuclear weap-
ons, "he would be prosecuted by
the Attorney General for talking
about such things" This can
work both ways" said the Pre-
mier. -. HAS Admiral Burke con-
sidered how many minutes it
would take to destroy his allies in
Western Europe? Or doesn't he
care about those allies?"

want TO know from Admiral
Strauss?
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee. for one. has an
nounced that he wants a full in
vestigation Of the Strauss role in
the Dixon-Yates affair.
Senator Kefauver has accused
the administration for years of
covering up the role Admiral
Strauss and others played in the
awarding of the controversial
power contract, Cancelled by order
Of President Eisenhower in 1855.
Admiral Strauss refused at that
time-"whatever the penalty may
be"-to tell Senate Investigators
whether he discussed the decision
to repudiate the contract with the
White House.
He contended the constitutional
provision for the separation Of
powers in government bars Con-
gress from inquiring into CONVEX
sations between officials Of the ad-
ministration and the White House.
He was on the sound ground of
precedent, and his position effec-
lively ended the investigation into
his role in the awarding of the
Dixon Yates contract. It did not
end. however. the determination
of the Democrats to make further
political capital of the issue, when
the opportunity arose.
The opportunity has arisen in
the presentation Of Admiral
Strauss name to the Senate for
confirmation. There are no limi-
tations on the privilege Of the
Senate to examine his qualifica-
tons for the post.
The former head Of the Acc can
refuse to answer whatever ques-
tons he chooses, claiming the
right of constitutional immunity.
But this time his refusal to supply
answers may jeopardize his pros
poets of confirmation.
There is little chance that the
Senate Commerce Committee. or
the Senate itself. will bar Admiral
Strauss from Office. Tradition is
strong in the Senate, and tradition
allows the President to make his
own selection for his cabinet, with
rare exceptions.
But before Admiral Strauss Is
confirmed as Secretary of Com
merce, the tale of Dixon-Yates will
be told again in headlines. The
admiral will be pictured as man
who, as chairman Of the Atomic
Energy Commission, couldn't get
along with anybody. And Demo-
Gratis will have another small issue
which, they hope. will have some
small bearing on the 1860 cleo
tons.
The hearings are expected to
continue for several weeks, re-
Stunning after the Easter recess OF
Congress.
