In Algeria:
More error

When French President Charles
de Gaulle dramatically proposed
a gradual solution to the Algerian
rebellion on September 16, hopes
rose throughout the West that
this dangerous thorn in the
French flesh might soon be re-
moved.
1t was Immediately apparent,
however, that the leaders of the
Algerian Front for National Lib
Grafton wanted no part of the
De Gaulle proposal for Cd a
cease-fire. co a reduction in ter
rorist killings to not more than
200 in any one year, and 80 then
a referendum, to be held within
four years after the first two con-
ditions has been met, in which
Algerians could choose between
independence, autonomy in union
with France, or indignation into
the French Republic.
The Algerian leaders, however,
restrained their more belligerent
followers. They have not yet for
mally rejected the De Gaulle pro-
gram, and TuniSian President
Habib Bourguiba is laboring dill
gently to persuade them to accept
it, at least in principle.
But the French settlers in Al
geria, heavily opposed to any ex-
tension of Moslem rights or au-
thority, have been attacking the
De Gaulle plan as surrender"
There was an ominous calm in
Algiers last week until Friday,
when an all-day outbreak of ter
roriSm killed nine Frenchmen and
wounded at least IL. 1t was the
worst day for bloodshed in the
five years of the rebellion when.
late in the day, a Nationalist
ambush trapped a French Army
convoy and killed 26, destroying
all the vehicles, at ALEU- in south
west Algeria.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
A Rising Barometer

Already the leaves are falling.

multicolors Of autumn in the roll
ing Catoctins. The haze Of a
premature Indian summer hangs
over the valleys Of a morning, and
the nights are crisp. In such a
setting, as If a world removed
from the sound and the fury Of his
eight-day whirlwind tour of the
United States, a tired but SEEM
ingly happy Nikita Khrushchev
took on, Friday, the really sig
nificant task Of his visit to the
United States.
The restful. relaxing atmos-
phere Of Camp David, with the
security guards near but unseen.

crammed days wore toward eve
ming and inevitable fatigue.
Today, in a press conference
and television address, the
world will get at least some hint
of the effect America, its people
and its President. have had on
the Soviet Premier. Mr.. Khru-
shchev and his host are due back
this afternoon, their talks at
Camp David completed for the
time being. No one expects any
breathtaking announcement Of
any abrupt ending of the cold
war. Like the morning sun in
the Catoctins, the personal con-
tact between Mr.. Khrushchev and
Mr.. Eisenhower will take some
time to penetrate and diSsipate
all the haze of the relationship
between East and West.

Herter on Enforcement

On Tuesday also, Secretary
Herter commented on Premier
Khrushchev's disarmament pro-
poSals. He told the U. N. Core
spondents Association that the
Soviet plan left out an important
aspect of the problem: peace
enforcement"
Even without ornaments. Mr..
Herter observed mankind might
still insist on going to war with
each other, even with knives"
He also restated the United States
position on the prospect of a
summit conference on the Berlin
situation: That such a meeting
would be acceptable only if there
is more give" on the part of the
Soviet Union and a cessation of
threats.
The Canadian delegation on
Thursday suggested that the So
Wet Union be more specific on the
Khrushchev disarmament pro-
posals. What, for example, asked
Minister for External Affairs
Howard C. Green, would Moscow
offer with respect to a workable
and effective control plan?
Later in the day Silvio Brucan,
head of the Romanian delegation,
told the Assembly that 1.-THE pre-
text of control has already be-
come a dead horse, since the So
Wet program provides for
total international control. in

Some Progress Seen

But almost certainly there will
be dependable indications, reli-
able thermometers measuring
whether the international atmos-
phere is growing colder or warmer.
Between September Is, when the
Soviet party arrived at Andrews
Air Force Base, and last night,
when the two men had been to-
gether in virtual Seclusion more
than "a hours, almost all those
Americans who were in close at

falling mercury.
Eat the bread and the salt.
but speak your mind" said Mr..
Khrushchev in Los Angeles. No
one doubts that he has done
exactly that himself at Camp
David. Mr.. Eisenhower is doing
the same; as host he has offered
the traditional Russian welcome
of bread and salt; as President of
the United States and chief leader
of the Western world he speaks his
mind.
The chief reservations enter
tanned by those who see a sincere
and definite conciliatory intention
in Mr.. Khrushchev. are simply
stated:
This man wants peace. but he
wants it on Soviet terms. If such
is indeed the case, the prospects
for a cold war thaw would add up
to a degree or two at best. For
there are major issues on which
the West, to the extent to which
Mr.. Eisenhower is its spokesman.
cannot yield without compensa-
ton.

Steel Strike Factor

Mr.. STAINS conceded, however,
that in addition to the normal
ASSUMPTIONS Of budget estimating,
there was another major and
shaky one. This was that the IL
week-old steel strike would end
in the next two or three weeks.
The dislocation a continuing strike
might wreak could cut sharply
into tax revenues.
The big portion Of the estimated
spending boost has no connection
with congressional action this
year. 1t resulted from the greatly
increased cost of paying interest
on the S285 billion national debt.
This hike is put at nearly 81 bill
lion. making the total interest on
the debt SO billion-a figure ex-
ceeding the entire cost of the Fed
eral Government for any year prior
to 1941.
This astonishing estimate lends
further weight to the Presidents
demand that Congress remove the
ceiling on long-term interest rates
for borrowing. now at 4.25 per
cent, so that the Government will
not be forced to finance itself
through higher-cost short-term
bonds.

Allies Involved, Too

Since President Eisenhower has
many times made plain that he
cannot and will not affect to speak
for Americas allies in his talks
with Mr.. Khrushchev, it is obvious
that many of these questions will
have to be discussed in an explora-
tory way only. But there can be
no doubt that the conversations at
Camp David will weigh most heav-
lily in future deliberations between
the Western allies.
Mr.. Khrushchev has never
masked his conviction that settle
ment of the outstanding issues of
the cold war can be achieved only
by the United States and the
Soviet Union negotiating together
as the principal protagonists for
West and East. Mr.. Eisenhower
has been equally insistent that
decisions for the West must be
taken together; it was for this

Some Explosions

Mr.. Khrushchev erupted on
several occasions after provocative
questions. Once, in Los Angeles,
he threatened to take his huge Jet
plane and go home to Moscow.
Some observers thought his abrupt
flareups were carefully planned.
but most disagreed.
The impression he left was that
Of simple directness controlled by
a conSummate skill as a politician;
Of a peasant earthiness leavened
by a keen awarenesS Of realities;
Of a convinced but not necessarily
doctrinaire Communist whose
faith in his system was unbounded.
Communism will triumph in the
world. he said over and over, be-
cause it will prove that it works
better than capitalism. Those
close to him during the trip re-
marked that he seemed totally
unable to differentiate between
the capitalism of the last century
dIlO CAlC LlOO4llCO PlNdIC CAiOSA
prise existing today.
For the most part. the Pre-
mier's remarks on political sub
jects and on the major issues
dividing East and West were
couched in general terms. He
spoke reassuringly. however. Of
his conviction that the ice was
melting. And both Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge. who was the
Premier's chief shepherd on the
tour. and Secretary Of State Her.
ter expressed confidence that Mr..
Khrushchev was ready to nego-
tate in good faith and with OPP
timistic attitudes.
On the major problems GER
tainly discussed at Camp David,
Mr.. Khrushchev's comments made
in the course of his swing across
the Nation give some indication
of his probable position. Here are
some samples:

The consensus among Ameri-
cans commenting on the results Of

tour could perhaps be best ex-
pressed in the words of an Iowa
farmer as he gazed with fascina-
ton at the spectacle before him:
1T can't do any harm that I can
see. and it might just possibly do
some good"
With some variations. the polite
curiosity and restrained applause
that marked the Khrushchev ar

along his route. But there was

Federal Injunction

Mr.. McDonald's action in break
ing off negotiations indicated that
the union may be resolved to an
action it has never wanted: A
Federal injunction under the Taft
Hartley Act which would bring
the workers back to their jobs
for an 80-day period.
The companies have indicated,
too, that they do not favor the
injunction. although the union
thinks they do. Mr.. Eisenhower
has said many times that the in
junction would be used only when
the national health or safety is
endangered by the strike.
Labor Secretary Mitchell some
weeks ago suggested that the time
for an injunction might be early
in October, that then the shut
down would begin to have a Sc
rious impact on the Nation. Budget
Director STAINS said on Friday
that balanced budget this year
would depend in large measure
on a steel settlement within the
next two or three weeks. A bal
anced budget is as dear to Mr..
Eisenhower's heart as the golf
course at Burning Tree.
The President. who on Wednes-
day urged anew that stronger
negotiation efforts be made be-
cause free collective bargaining
might be on trial, would first APP
point a board of inquiry if he
decided to seek a Taft-Hartley
injunction.
This board would make a re-
port and Mr.. Eisenhower then
would decide whether a national
emergency existed. If he finds
such an emergency he would di-
rect the Attorney General to seek
an injunction. The workers would
have to return to their jobs, but
if no agreement were reached dur
ing the 80-day life of the in
junction they could resume their
strike.
1t is the feeling that a strike re-
sumption is likely to follow an
injunction that last week prompt
ed Senator Kennedy, MaSsachu-
sets Democrat. to suggest that
the Senate Labor Committee call
hearings on the strike SO that
Congress will be in a position to
take any necessary action when
it reconveneS in January.

Budget:
Near Balance

When President Eisenhower sent
his budget message to Congress
last January, he estimated a deli
cate balance between income and
outgo for fiscal 1860, which ends
next June 30. In fact. he saw a
small surplus of about 500 million.
This budget. which put expen-
ditures at SIT billion and revenue
at $77.1 billion was generally con-
sidered as one based heavily on
two great administration hopes:
That the heavily Democratic

new Congress would not try to
spend its way out OF the disap-
pearing recession.
That Congress would vote pro-
posed revenue increases of about
$500 million. $3.50 million of which

difficulty of attaining a balanced

his task with classic singleness

threatened to veto others. His

fight on Capitol Hill.
AS a result, the seth Congress
wound up its first session raising
