widely broadcast that Sem

President Eisenhower should

The American people are

GENEVA. - The jackpot
about which all summit con-
versation here centers is the
American people. Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev
wants a summit meeting in
San Francisco so that he can
barnstorm among them from
New York to California in
their own free wheeling
American style.
Apparently Mr.. Khrushchev
has been reading his press
notices and has decided
that, in his fashion, he
has captured the magma
ton Of most Americans. Pos
sibly, too. he feels that any
thing Mikoyan can do, he
can do better. Khrushchev
has told visitors that Presi-
dent Eisenhower let Miko-
yam roam at will in the
United States, so why not
Khrushchev.
There is a certain rough
justice In his insistence that
he be allowed to show the
Russians that he can get
along with the Americans.
The extent to which United
States candidates for the
presidency have beaten a
path to his door is a major
phenomenon Of the talking
war and shows no signs Of
abating. Adlai Stevenso n

ator Hubert Humphrey spent

0ENEVA.--Why does Me
kita Khrushchev want so des-
perately to attend q summit
conference? Why Is he 80
eager TO go to the United
States and be an oficiai guest
at the White House?
These questions have up to
now been answered in various
speculations in the press BY
anonymously quoted sources
on both sides Of the Iron Cur
tain. The summarized answer
usually given Is that Khru-
shchev desires personal &C
claim and seeks recognition
OF his prestige as the chief OF
the Communist world.
But there is far more TO 1t
than the qualification Of a
personal within. To those who
are familiar with the day-by-
day workings Of Soviet prop
uganda throughout the world.
there is no mystery at all in
the conspicuous bid by Khru-
shchev for q summit confer
ence. It has q meaning deeply
imbedded in Soviet policy-to
discourage the people in the
satellite countries from think
ing they can ever get moral
support from the people Of
the Western countries and to
bring about what is generally
called acceptance of the
status quo" This would mean
acceptance of Soviet domina-
ton and the results Of its ag-
gressions as irrevocable.
If President Eisenhower.
figuratively speaking, takes
unto his ofiicial bosom the
Communist leader. it puts
according to the Soviet the
ory-the stamp Of approval
on the Communist regime in
Moscow as a legitimate form
Of tyranny. It says, in effect,
also that the West recognizes
virtually on terms Of equality
the philosophy Of commu-
nism, itself, as a proper
means Of suppressing indi-
vidual rights in the world.
Since the United States is
recognized today as the Lead
ing power in the Western
world, Nikita Khrushchev
would do almost anything to
be able to convey to his own

Many House Members
Face Farm BiIIDiIemmo

A postponed roll call on a
$50 billion Agriculture Depart
ment appropriation bill has
posed q difficult budget and
farm vote dilemma for many
House members. mainly Demo-
crats.
Republicans moved late yes
lterday to return the bill to
committee as a means of get
ting q test roll call tomorrow
on an amendment to limit
Commodity Credit Corp. loans
to $4,000 or less. This amend
ment offered by Representative
Avery. Republican Of Kansas,
and backed by the Republican
leadership lost on q tentative
division vote, 59-49.
Because Of a prior agreement
to hold no roll calls yesterday
the showdown was put OF until
tomorrow. Republicans said
Democrats were in the difficult
position of having to decide
whether to vote for q substan-
tial budget saving or for con-
tinued CCC loans to big corpo-
ration operated farms.
Other tentative votes yester-
day indicated, however, that the
bill will be passed tomorrow
without change in the $685.
l65,498 total for operation of
1.-THE department and various ag-
ricultural programs in the COM
ling fiscal year. Several Repub-
Ilican members from farm
States opposed the Avery
amendment.
| Republican attempts to trim
soil conservation and price sup
ports payments also were de-
Ifeated yesterday. One would
have reduced conservation pay
lments frob $3.50 million to 500
million, as requested by the
administration. Another would
haye stopped such payments

and also for commercial and
economic purposes.
The administration ended
by accepting q summit meet
ing with the proviso that a
preceding foreign ministers
meeting be a genuine success.
When 1t opened last week.
the American delegation was
strongly lined up with those
of France and Germany in
determination aot to makes
ridiculous farce out of the
Geneva meeting. Britain was
favoring. before Foreign Min
lister Selwyn Lloyd left Lon
don. a softer approach. The
line held Arm for only a few
days. Then an American
spokesman spoke out Of turn
and indicated that we had
accepted the British APP
proach.
These developments had
been expected by skeptics in.
Washington when it became
apparent that John Foster
Dulles was no longer in the
diplomatic game. But there
were many foreign govern
ments which did believe and
hope that we would hold firm
in our determination and es-
pecially refuse to 60 to the
summit unless the Russians
yielded to the Vests point of
view on Berlin and the whole
question of German unity.
This expectation has not
been fulfilled.
There is an increasing COM
viction that the Geneva con-
ference is merely a make-be-
lieve and that Mr.. K. will be
an honored guest in the
United States. the country
he is determined to destroy.
or disintegrate. The recipe
ents of American foreign aid
are wondering now-and are
telling US so-why on earth
we have been spending bill
lions to resist international
communism and co-existence
on the Moscow pattern.

dent. II Is today when 4 DELI
cate negotiation is going on
In Geneva. II III behooves any
prominent member of Con-
gress TO tell the President
publicly that he should invite
Premier Khrushchev to the
United States when this
Communist autocrat hasn't
shown the slightest inclina-
ton to give the peoples be-
hind the Iron Curtain indi-
vidual freedom or 70 release
the many prisoners from
Dthe- countries held by the
Soviet government as hos
tages. although World War II
has been over In Europe for
II years.
II American idealism is to
be sacrificed 50 readily by
those who want the President
to fraternize with the unscru-
pulous leader Of the Krem-
lin, 1t win cause q grave
diminution Of the prestige
which the United States has
hitherto enjoyed in Europe
under Democratic as well as
Republican Presidents.
Progress at the Geneva
conference is slow and likely
to continue that way. For the
Soviets feel no pressure to
reach an agreement. They
have been told in the last
few days by Secretary Of
State Herter that there must
be results at this conference
to justify American partic-
ipation in q summit meet
ing, but they remain skep-
tical. For every day brings
more news dispatches from
the United States saying that
American cities are already
wing with one another to
bring the summit show to
their respective localities.
The palpable effort to COM
mercialize such q meeting
serves only to convince the
Soviets that. no matter what
they do in the negotiations
here, they'll get their sum-
init conference anyhow.
One need not wonder why
the Soviets are 50 often in
transigent, considering the
unwilling help they get from
certain naive elements in the
United States.

many ways and languages
that America Is corroded and
powerless.
It is hard to explain to the
remaining family of free
nations why we m erely
launched words instead Of
breaking of relations with
the Russians when they mas
sacred thousands of Hun
garians only three years ago.
And it is equally difficult to
explain to the satisfaction of
the governments and peoples
of those nations why we are
so eager to yield to all the
pressures Of the KremIin
after going through the mo-
tons Of first rejecting them.
The Red dictator created a
crisis last November for only
one purpose - to drag the
unwilling President of the
United States to a summit
meeting. There was nothing
further from the mind of Mr..
Eisenhower before and even
for a little time after the
new Berlin crisis broke than
to attend another meeting
with Mr.. Khrushchev. His
position since the end of
the lamentable first summit
meeting was loudly applaud
ed by most of our allies, par
ticularly those in the Middle
and Far East who feel more
than the Western Europeans
the hot breath Of interna-
tional communism on their
necks. Then pressures were
brought on him, especially
by Britain, which is keen on
such summit gatherings for
domestic political reasons

then In the Middle East and
now finally we are getting

There have been unreason-
able criticisms of our actions
which it is said in serious
quarters could soon affect the
soundness and strength Of our

question that support has

misunderstanding Of Courts Decision
On Schools Called Basis of Fear

There is q story about an
old man who was asked If he
did not dislike the idea of
growing old.
II do" he said, until ]
consider the alternative"
This will serve as q sort Of
text for this quiet little essay
on the subject Of alternatives.
Five years ago this month
the United States Supreme
Court handed down its his
toric school decision. It is q
continuing rebuke to the
media Of information and to
those who comment on the
news, either by the spoken
or printed word, that a better
job was not done In inter-
preting it.
The court did not hand
down a unanimous decision
ordering Indignation. It was
a negative. not q positive,
decision. 1t said that dis
elimination could not be ex-
ercised in the admission
policies Of the public schools.
Because of this failure in
communication an emotional
wall Of misunderstanding
quickly was built in the minds
Of millions. Fear was the
mortar which held its stones.
Fear was the buttress Of it
and fear was the watch tower
of it.
The court ordered an end to
discrimination. It left to the
States and to the district
courts the implementation Of
the ruling. The court went
out Of its way to state that
1t knew time would be re-
quired, and patience, and
that some areas would need
more than others.
Three years later the court
rendered a decision in the
Alabama school placement
law which gave to the States

Possibility of Such a Visit Is Topic
OF Conversations at Geneva

Moscow in all the panoply Of
his Office, with a retinue Of 20
reporters to describe his tri-
umphal progress.
These ambitious men make
their long journeys, not only
to satisfy a natural curiosity
but as a means Of proving
that they merit the great
Office to which they aspire.
It would be a sorry trav-
esty to suggest that the So.
Wet dictator has any such
electoral problems. Yet it is
true that he has promised
the Russian people peace
and prosperity. 1t is in the
interests Of his propaganda
to show that he does fine
with all Americans except
warmongers, who are, Of
course, the people who won't
give him his own way.
To the heated debate about
whether the exuberant So
Wet Premier will put himself
over-if he gets the chance
he seeks in America-must
be added a most-sober con-
sideration. That is the ques-
ton Of his personal security
on such a trip.
Americans are little given
to political assassination.
Permission or an invitation
for an official visit here, once
given to a head of state, car
ries with it ironclad assur-
ances Of his safety and we'll
being. Nobody could doubt
that an invitation to Khru-

more control Of the schools
than they had ever before
known. The court ruled that
q school board could go into
the scholastic background Of
school applicants and into
the moral background as
well. This would include
health examinations, which,
In fact, are already q regula-
ton in all cities and the more
progressive rural regions.
In this same decision the
court declared that IN those
areas where there was a large
proportion Of Negro popula-
ton it was not the intent of
the decision to have schools
take in large numbers Of
these.
The effect of the decision
was to give to the school
boards powers unknown in
previous years. It provided an
effective control of the de-
segregation process. 1t made
possible, for a generation, If
not longer. a token amount Of
degeneration.
One Of the troubles was
that whoever tried to COM
municate the truth and an
understanding Of the facts
was assailed as ian inteera-
zionist" or. even. a Commu-
mist.
But what was necessary
five years ago is even more
necessary today. That is to
make clear the alternatives.
It is precisely this which
the deep South States are UP
against today. Little Rock,
for example. after having
been up against the alterna-
tives for almost two years, is
moving away from the alter
native of the closed schools.
Virginia, which came face to
face with the alternative Of
closed schools, retreated from
