Calm

President Arturo Frondizi of Ar
gentina appears, at least for the
moment, to have weathered the
storm that threatened last week to
inundate his entire government.
The 51-year-old ex-lawyer
emerged from the tempest shaken
but still in command Of the gov
ernment. He answered military de-
mands for reform by firing half Of
his cabinet which had previously
included some Peronists. The mill
tary coalition which overthrew ex-
President Juan Peron still fears his
influence.

Attitude on Summit

For the Vests part. 1t appeared
that enough had been said since
the recess Of the foreign minis
ters' meeting to impress the So
Wet leaders that a summit meet
ing could not be forced" When
the Geneva talks were plainly
deadlocked and no Moscow con-
cessions were in sight. most West
ern analysts concluded none
would be made. Mr.. Khrushchev,
they summed up. was as good as
his word when he said in Albania
In May that bargaining" was
ruled out.
But the firm stand Of Mr.. Herter
and his colleagues, 1t is believed
now. has convinced the Kremlin
that Western prestige will not per-
NIT summit meeting held almost
at gunpoint. Despite the Soviet
conviction that the decisive cards
in the Berlin showdown are in
Kremlin hands, 1t is not likely
that Mr.. Khrushchev will call of
the game. In this reasoning, If
the Russians want a meeting at
the summit as much as they have
appeared to, they will find some
means of making Western attend
ance possible.

Congress-:
Veto Peris

Whenever the President OF
the United States finds 1t neces--
sary to ueto a major bill which
has been approved By both
Houses OF the Congress, he Is
sure to find himself in the
center OF a bitter controbersy in
Uolutno large groups both inside

The political perils risked by
any Chief Executive In vetoing
legislation supported by powerful
pressure groups are as well known
to President Eisenhower as to
President Truman. They are
equally well recognized by Senate
Majority Leader johnson and by
House Speaker Rayburn.
The legislative record Of the
S6th Congress has been forged by
its Democratic leadership largely
on the anvil Of one painful axiom:
Despite their heavy majorities
in both Houses, Democrats cannot
override Presidential veto.

Horrimon on Soviets

But Mr.. Hartman noted one
factor in the Soviet Premier's
attitude, he told newsmen as his
six-week Russian tour neared its
end. 1t was acceptance of the
Western determination to vote any
Communist absorption Of either
West Berlin or West Germany.
But by the same token, the former
New York governor said he was
equally certain that Mr.. Khrush-
chev would not entertain any pro-
posals that would alter the present
Communist rule In East Germany.
The discussions on the Berlin
crisis, Mr.. Hartman said. were
invited by Mr.. Khrushchev and
were attended by Deputy Premiers

diplomats, are Of great Importance

In Bonn. the West German
government Of Chancellor Ade-
nauer was suggesting informally
that a special meeting Of Western
heads-of-state including Mr.. Ade-
nauer. should precede resumption
Of the foreign ministers talks. The
Bonn view met little enthusiasm
in other Western capitals, how
ever, for two reasons:
That such a meeting would be
used by the Soviet Union as
evidence to bolster its contention
that the Adenauer government
was debating the Western stand
on the Berlin crisis.
That the existing facade Of
Western unity, carefully praised
by Mr.. Herter Tuesday, might
be compromised.

opening the new st. Lawrence
Seaway.
Aboard the vessel were its own

The President called the joint
Canadian-American venture "a

The Queen, representing Cam

A New Voice

His presence in Mr.. Frondizi's
government not only adds new
votes the represents a minor but
influential party but also a new
voice m support of the austerity
program which the President adj
vocates.
AS the peso climbed in value
and the stock market improved,
Mr.. Frondizi appeared to have re-
gained the confidence of the ma
tion-and particularly the power
full leadership of Argentine's
armed forces.
The president knows he must
rely on these men in the uneasy
months ahead as Argentina en-
barks on an austerity program.
Mr.. Frondizi believes his country
will regain a sound economic
foundation only by depriving it
self of many luxuries. He has the
backing of United States dollars
in his bid to re-establish Argen-
tina's well-being.
The danger, however, lies in OPP
position Of the labor unions, long
dominated by Juan Peron, which
are threatening to strike in pro-
test to the austerity program.
The Peronists, who, like the Com
nunists. backed Mr.. Frondizi for
president, are sure to be angered
by their dismissal from Office.
Win military support alone be
enough to withstand the blizzard
of austerity? Mr.. Frondizi has
banked his career on the belief
that 1t will.

Reports to President

Prior 70 his radio-TV address
to the American people, Mr. Herter
had reported his impressions Of
the Geneva conference Of toreian
ministers directly and in detail to
President Eisenhower Monday.
On Tuesday. he met with the
House Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs. the Senate Foreign Re-
iations Committee. and key lead
ers Of both parties in Congress
to discuss the international sit
uation.
The Secretary's meetings with
the lawmakers we're behind
locked doors, but several Of those
present later agreed that Mr..
Herter had indicated that he
could not recommend, on the basis
of progress to date. that Mr. Ei-
senhower should attend q summit
conference. Neither would ne
venture an optimistic prediction
on the prospects Of the Geneva
meeting at its next session, sched-
uled for July l3.

US any sense Of optimism"
Yet. despite his pessimism and
the generally unfavorable tone Of
his analysis Of the Geneva meet
ing, Mr.. Herter has not ruled out
entirely the possibility Of some
meeting Of the minds between
East and West. Neither has he
taken, as yet. a negative stand
on the question of a summit con-
ference later this summer. The
new architect Of foreign affairs
has. however. made 1t very clear
that the West stands united on in
insisting that Western rights and
responsibilities in West Berlin
shall be respected and recon-
frmed. He has also again empha-
sized that threats and ultimatums

However, at least a Temporary
