Israel Eases Bars
On Arab TruveI

JERUSALEM, Aug. 6 (AP.-
Israel is relaxing some restric-
tons on movements of the ma
tons 100000 Arabs in a step
toward eventually freeing them
from military rule.
About 10000 Arabs live in
border regions adjacent to Is
rael's Arab enemies and come
under military administration.
The remaining 10000 are free
to move about, except into the
frontier districts.
The Israeli government said
last night that Arabs in the
border regions will be offered
grants to encourage them to
lresettle in mixed Jewish-Arab
towns.
Arabs in the central "tri-
angle" area bordering Jordan
and in northern Galilee border
ing Syria and Lebanon will be
able to travel without permits
in daylight from their homes to
a number of regional centers in
Israel.
Israel's desert and semi-des-
ert Negev, between Jordan ana
Egypt, will remain a special Sc
curity area closed to free Arab
movement. But nomadic Bed
ouins will be permitted to visit
Beersheeba, the Negev's district
center.

Geneva Affair Viewed as Weakening
Position of Nations Foreign Chiefs

Republicans left Congress
so they, could go to the air
port and give Vice Presi-
dent Nixon a hero's welcome.
Within hours, Secretary of
State Herter dragged in from
Geneva where for three
weeks he has been sitting on
what he knew of his own
knowledge were china eggs.
The contrast is of the same
sort as that between the prop
uganda aspects Of the new
moves and their shaky diplo-
matte underpinnings. Dis
patches from Europe empha-
size the latter, and the pic
ture drawn in them Of Uncle
Sam is not flattering.
For it cannot be concealed
that the Soviet Union has
won a diplomatic victory at
flre-sale prices. Khrushchev
gets the trip to the United
States and the attentions
from President Eisenhower to
which he has so long aspired.
The President has aban-
doned the substantial prog

laid down for such a meeting.

is held further that they
were compelled to warm up
the stage for an unconseion-
ably long time, weakening to
them personally and debas-
ing to their status. The Pres
ident's inadvertent reference
to Geneva as one of the

the plans were developed is
widely quoted.

An appointive and not an
elected official, he lacks the
resources to come back on

he has not. A strong flavor
Of shadow%boxing also was
impaired to the Vice Presi-
dents role when he was dis

DO the people Of the United
States really want Nikita
Khrushchev to visit this
country? President Eisen-
hover assumes that they do.
The governments Of Sweden
and other Scandinavian
countries recently issued a
similar invitation, but the
Soviet Premier, after accept
ing it, decided not to go
there because it was evident
the people didn't want him
to come.
What happened in Sweden
between the time the invita-
ton was extended and the
announcement that Khru-
shchev had given up the idea
for the present? A letter from
DIR. Bella Fabian, written
from Geneva a few days ago,
tells the story. He is chair
man Of the Federation Of
Hungarian Former Political
Prisoners and was in Swe-
den at the time of the plan
ming for the visit of the
Soviet Premier. DR.. Fabian
writes:
Naturally, Mai. Gen.
Zacharov. deputy chief Of
the Soviet security police,
knew that the August COM
mittees' were preparing mass
meetings and demonstrations.
In Sweden ten meetings were
to be held simultaneously
on August IS. The one thing
he did not know was whether
the Swedish people would
demonstrate by oStentatiously
staying at home, so that the
streets would be empty and
there would be no one there
except the police, or that
there would be enormous
crowds who would turn their
backs on Khrushchev."
DR.. Fabian writes that the
august committees" con-
tanned a large number of
members, among them prom
inent intellectualS, several
Nobel Prize winners, univer-
Sity professors and writer's.

u. N. Near Its Turning Point

But we are certainly justi-
fed in asking, at this stage.
whether the U.N. is perform
ing today in the spirit in
which it was constituted in
1945 at San Francisco. The
cold war is the main drama
on the international stage.
But along the fringes of the
cold war, sometimes directly
connected but more often
merely side shows, are many
threats to peace and tran
guilty that the U.N. was
theoretically designed to cope
with.
This year. more than ever

ing coalition composed of the
Communist bloc and the So
called neutralist nations. In
crucial matters, the Afro
Asian member nations will
hold the balance of power
between East and West, and
that power in such hands is
a serious danger to the free
world. The record shows
that. more often than not,
these former colonial ma
tons support the Kremlin's
foreign policies more than
they do the free worlds.
But with proper leader
ship, and if the principles
of the U.N. Charter are OBJ
served with integrity and de-
termination, the U.N. could
still function in the manner
it is manifestly supposed to.
There would be no COM
promises with justice and
right, and no devious, Shrewd
maneuvering designed to
perpetuate injustices because
the latter are more to be
desired than a disturbance
of the power blocs that play
politics, on an international
scale, reminiscent of the
more deplorable politics of a
provincial state legislature.
The U.N. is at, or very near,
a turning point. Either it
functions at least approx
mately in the manner origi-
nally intended, or It will go
down, like the League of Ma
tons, to a deserved oblivion.

Nixon Visit to Russia Seen Opening
A Long Period of The Great Talk

about, not fought over. Al
ways courteous but never
appeasing, always friendly
yet firm when the need arose,
he did a fiawless job.
No one knows what the
Soviets plan, but with Mr..
Khrushchev going to the
United States and President
Eisenhower going to the
Kremlin to talk with the
second USSR Premier he has
visited, they are not thinking
Of war.
1t is important to realize
that it required almost AZ
years for an American Vice
President to be able to speak
over a national Soviet TV
circuit and to have two ma
jor speeches published in the
Russian press. He is the first
major foreign official from
the West to visit distant So
Wet territories and to speak
and be warmly welcomed. 1t
cannot be construed other
wise but that the Russians
were amazed, as were the
Poles, by the tremendous
warmth of reception given
him. This was not too I'M
expected in Poland, but to
have it happen in Siberia, in
the Urals and rural villages
Of the USSR was totally I'M
anticipated.
Mr.. Nixon's last full day in
Poland was typical. At the
monument to the martyrs Of
the ghetto and in the wreck
age of an old building where
the first gas chamber was
tried out and where young
Jewish resistance fighters
made their last stand he OBJ
viously was moved. He spoke
strongly against racial and
religious prejudice in all
countries, including his own,
pointing out that where men
let it work without opposition
it creates horror and terror.
Every people of whatever
form of government can
agree on that point" he said.

When the Charter of the
United Nations was nego-
tiated and signed at San
Francisco in 1945, it was
proclaimed as a document
making official the deter
mination of its signatories
to perpetuate peace in the
world. At the time, a world
wearied and sick of destruc-
ton and death sought some
means Of collective action to
prevent future aggression.
But the nations which, in
whatever good faith, signed
the noble Charter Of the
United Nations have appar-
emily forgotten. to varying
extents, the motives that put
their pens to paper.
There are, in the world to-
day, almost a bakers dozen
of international conflicts,
some violent, others nearly
so. Many of them have
nothing whatever to do with
the major arena of conflict
the basic struggle between
the free world and the mar
shaled forces of Communist
aggression. All Of them pose
an existing and "clear and
present danger" to the peace
of the yorld. What is the
U.N. doing about them?
In Latin America, for eX-
ample, there is not only no
stability but there exists an
immediate-and additionally
a lonfg-range - danger to
peace. The immediate dan
ger is the prevalent ferment
in the Caribbean, where
forces as yet undiagnosed as
to their devotion to democ-
racy and peace pose a blatant,
bellicose threat to existing
governments. The long-range
danger, apparent to far too
few Americans, is the steady
march of Communist infll-
tration in all of the Carib-
bean, Central and South
America.

or what does it contemplate
doing, to contain the explo-

sive situations in the Carib-
bean, in Nicaragua, in Vene-
zuela, Colombia, Argentina,
Chile? Is Fidel Castro, in the
full flush of what may easily
become a more vicious die
tatorship than the deposed
Fulgencio Batista ever
dreamed Of, going to be per-
mitted to interfere with his
bearded armed forces in the
internal affairs of the Domin-
lean Republic, Panama, Mic
aragua and wherever else his
guerrillas dislike the status
quo?
And what of the long, Bit
ter, fruitless efforts to hale
the rulers of Communist
China into the pale of civ
ilized responsibility? Does
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold and his notable
staff have a plan to persuade
Red China to release the
American prisoners, most of
them innocent of anything
more serious than being
Americans, which Peiping
long ago agreed to release?
Does the U. N. intend to treat
the Communist Chinese with
the consideration a declared
aggressor nation deserves,
after the long and frustrating
war in Korea? In short, is the
U. N. really dedicated to peace
with justice, or is it yet an
other political body, albeit in
ternational in scope, that will
allow eXpediency and world
politics to guide its course?
These, and many other
questions, are not indictments
in themselves. Any interna-
tional effort to bring order
to the disordered affairs of
mankind in a nuclear age is
a welcome one. Surely, the
sole hope for the future of
the entire world is the even
tual. cooperation, in honesty
and sincerity, of all the ma
tons and peoples toward a
perpetual peace with justice
for all and malice toward
none.

WARSAW NOTEH

WARSAW NOTEBOOK
AS the two American Jets
lifted in beauty and strength
from the Warsaw Airport
everyone knew that Richard
M. Nixon was one Of the
major architects Of the new
United States foreign policy.
They knew, too, that the
world was almost surely en-
tering a new era Of diplo-
macy. It may come to be
called that Of the great talk
because we may talk for 20
years without ever really re-
solving the basic differences,
social and philosophic, be-
tween the two great power
systems Of our time. 1t was
Richard Nixon who broke
the sound barrier and made
possible talks on a higher
and broader scale.
At a distance, it may have
seemed routine but at close
hand, feeling the ebb and
flow Of the Soviet mood, it
was almost incredible that
he should have managed to
have two major speeches
printed in the Russian press
and to have spoken with
intelligence and strength for
an hour on a nationwide
hookup.
He has done well every
job assigned him by the
President in more than six
years, but this was,his best.
1t has been almost miracu-
lous to see and hear Com
munist leaders in both Rus
STA and Poland speak Of the
two systems and to admit
the presence of differences
between them without ran
cor.
What Mr.. Nixon has done
is to put a foot in the Krem-
lin door. He brought to the
attention of the Soviet mil
lions that when Russia de-
nounces United States bases,
she herself has bases in
Poland, CzechoSlovakia and
East Germany. He amazed
them by revealing the extent
of socialism in United States
capitalism which does not
resemble the capitalist ster-
eotype created by Karl Marx
in the 10Th century.
A British correspondent,
who listened to Mr.. Nixon'S
television talk with a Rus
sian family into whose fiat
had crowded some 10 other
families who did not own
sets. said the greatest sur
prise was Mr.. Nixon'S state
ment about pay for the I'M
employed. Russian propa-
ganda has pictured the
United States unemployed as
starving. The news that they
draw a weekly wage was a
stunning surprise.
The greatest Nixon
strength has been his pa
tience, although he is not
known as a patient man.
Never once was he of bal
ance. Always he disarmed by
admitting differences but in
sisting they should be talked
