What was Of chief interest
in a recital notable for its gen.
eral musical and executant ex-
cellence was the modern harp
sichord Stoddard Lincoln used
last night in his recital with
the Violinist Sonya Monosoff,
It was a Hubbard and Dowd,
one Of the few instruments
made by a short-lived partner
ship which this year dissolved
to allow both Mr.. Hubbard and
Mr.. Dowd to continue business
individually.
The demand for harpsichord
Is at present so great that
they are as common as mouth
organs, but the revival Of the
18th Century instruments has
50 far brought to light few
other makers comparable in
skill and musical feeling to Ar
mold Dolmetsch, whose harpsi-
chords built for the Chickering
Piano Co. about 1908 have long
been the standard Of excellence.
The Hubbard and Dowd in
strument heard last night is
magnific brilliant and solid
In tone, luminous in color and
extraordinarily clear in all reg
listers. The piano has never
supplanted the harpsichord, it
has merely followed 1t chrono-
logically. and while it can imi-
tate an orchestra with different
resources 1t cannot do so with
so much color as the instrument
for which the italian Concerto
and the Goldberg Variations
were written.

Eisenhower's Escape From Snake Den
On Desert Mesa in Army Days Cited

Once upon a time Presi-
dent Eisenhower climbed to
q summit.
He looks back across the
years to this journey as one
OF the most hazardous ever
attempted. He thinks. with
treason, he was closer to
death on it than at any time
before or since.
1t could be that the mem
ory OF this explains his psy-
Geological doubts about sum-
NIT climbs and his wish to
be sure the paths are clear.
During his years as a
young officer, the President
was stationed at an Army
base in a Western State. One
day he and an officer friend
were on a long horseback
trip. It led through a semi
desert area. The growth was
sparse, some mesquite shrub
and clumps Of tough grass.
They came to a fairly high,
rounded rock mesa. Both de-
cided it would be a good idea
to climb it for a view. They
diSmounted, dropped the
reins in Western fashion,
and climbed briskly up the
rocky. shrub-tufted slope,
'dislodging a few stones and
kicking up some dust in the
process.
AS they paused at the top,
breathing hard, what breath
they had left was frozen in
fear and horror. All about
them they could hear the
rattle Of angry rattlesnakes
aroused from their siesta
amid the sun-hot rocks.
Both were wise enough in
desert lore to stand absolute
ly still, though the impulse
was to bolt. The snakes ap-
parently had already found

but there is no secret about
the fish Representative Hal

decide whether they would
enforce their rights in Ber-
lin.
In substance, the situation
hasn't moved of dead center
at all. There has been Just q
play on words, and the world
is so eager for some kind Of
reinsurance and easing Of
tension that 1t grasps at al
most any straw.
AS q matter Of fact, many
high officials Of our own Gov
eminent who have by no
means been fooled by the
Soviet Premier have had dis
cussions among themselves as
to just what was the real pur-
pose Of the Soviet Premier's
visit to America, and what he
really meant by his proposals
for disarmament and the like.
To many Of them, there
seems no question about the
fact that for reasons Of self
interest-not altruism or con-
sideration for the West-the
Soviet government has de-
cided that 1t needs q period
Of rest and possibly relief
from the heavy burden Of
armament.
Being a dedicated Com
munist. Mr.. Khrushchev is
convinced that communism is
eventually going to be victor
ious throughout the world.
He doesn't feel that it is nee
essary to conquer by force Of
arms, because inf1ltration is
a much easier process. If he
can lull the Western nations
into a disarmament program,
and If his own subversives
keep on inflltrating the weak
er governments of the world
as well as some Of the strong
er ones, and If billions of dol
lars worth of rllbles are snent
each year for propaganda,
the Soviet Premier thinks
victory is attainable in that
way even more readily than
through arms.
But there isn't much doubt
here about the extent to
which the Soviet government,
would agree to disarm. It
can't afford to agree to COM
plete disarmament. It needs
armies for its own undisclosed
purposes. 1t has a military
clique that is not going to
take any chances on what the

CONSTANTINE BROWN
International Relations Seen in Period
OF Decision for Peace or Showdown

To say that the state Of
international relations today
Is one Of tense expectancy is
to understate the case. The
world and the cold war have
arrived at q turning point,
one that has been seen COM
ing since the fateful day that
the Soviet Union launched
Sputnik I and thereby jolted
the free world into the harsh
realization that the military
balance Of power had changed
overnight.
The turning point, at which
the peoples Of all the world
now stand, is fraught with
the gravest consequences. The
new direction Of develop
ments will not be known i'm
mediately. perhaps not for
many months. And despite
many signs that the new
direction will be toward peace
and a general relaxation of
tensions, there also are pos
sibilities that it might be in
exactly and ominously the
other way, toward an early
showdown and a hot war.
Accepting for the sake Of
discussion the promise that
Mr.. Khrushchev is truly sim
cere in his current campaign
for peaceful co-existence,
there remain many factors,
on both sides in the cold war,
that could wreck his efforts.
There is the problem of
China. for example. Mr..
Khrushchev has been in
Peiping to help celebrate the
tenth anniversary of the
Communist triumph, but
more Importantly, he has
been there to convince Mao
Tze-tung and Chou En-lai
that Moscow's drive for a
drastic alteration in relations
between the Communist
world and the free world
would be good strategy for
China as well as for Russia.
Again, there is on the
Western side much under
the-surface disagreement
with the Eisenhower policy
Of meeting the Soviet Union
halfway in the Red peace
drive. The French, for ex-
ample, have made it plain
that, while they do not OPP
pose summit efforts toward
peace and harmony, they do
require that any agreements
be accompanied by iron-clad
guarantees.

Some Of the things that
have happened here as an
aftermath to the Khrushchev
visit seem fantastic.
Thus, the other day many
officials waited anxiously for
Nikita Khrushchev to make
a certain announcement aft
er his return to Moscow. He
had agreed informally with
President Eisenhower to say
to the press that there would
be no time limit on the ne
gotiations about West Berlin.
For some unexplained rea-
son, Mr.. Khrushchev wasn't
willing to put this into the
formal communique but he
did agree to an arrangement
whereby President Eisen-
hover would tell it first to his
own press conference the
next day. and then the So
Wet Premier would announce
the same thing to a press
conference in Moscow.
For several hours there
was discussion inside the
State Department and else
where in the Government as
to whether Mr.. Khrushchev
would keep his word.
Actually. what Mr.. Khrush-
chev said publicly to a Mos
COW press conference isn't
OF very great significance.
For all he announced was
that there would be mo time
limit on the negotiations"
but that they must mot be
prolonged indefinitely" The
first part Of this statement
really is contradicted by the
second. For, where a time
limit is not fixed, it means
that either party can termi-
nate the agreement at any
time.
So far as Mr.. Khrushchev
is concerned, he already had
told the press in Washington
that he didn't see any other
way out but for the Soviet
government to sign a peace
treaty with "the two German
states" This means, of
course, no reunification of
Germany. It could also mean
that, since West Berlin would
be regarded by the Soviets
as a part Of the East Ger
man republic, the initiative
would be placed squarely
upon the Western Allies to

All six tattoo parlors here

negotiations ahead over the
future of West Berlin.
AS for West Germany,
there remains considerable
apprehension that Western
policies have already gone
too far to meet the Soviet
demands, and that negoti-
atoms ahead must almost Of
necessity move more In favor
Of the Moscow intentions
than the Vests. Despite re- ;
assurance from President
Eisenhower to Chancellor
Adenauer, reservations re-
main. West Germany holds
a much more powerful po-
sition in Western councils
than is generally realized.
If the Bonn government
were to continue its close
ties with France and the two
would together apply brakes
to the East-West move to-
ward a compromise of diff
ferences, the whole drive for
relaxation Of tensions could
collapse.
There are other unpredict-
able factors on both sides,
many Of them, and all Of
them potentially serious.
Conceivably. of course, the
United States and the Soviet
Union, meeting together BIZ
laterally, could practically
dictate a sort of enforced
peaceful co-existence on the
rest Of the world for a time.
But Mr.. Eisenhower has long
been on record against any
such development and there
is little prospect that he
would push any negotiations
with M o S C o W that were
known in advance to be un-
palatable to Americas allies.
Thus, in the light of all
these possibilities and fac.
tors, we find the State De-
partment and the White
House in a "wait-and-see"
posture. hoping for the best
but prepared for the worst.

the use of the veto power
much more than has his
opposite number of the Sem
ate. Everett Dirksen. Mr..
Halleck also has worked hard
to recreate the old conserva-
tive alliance Of Republicans
and Southern Democrats.
This has embittered his rela-
lions with Speaker Rayburn
and fresh struggles between
them are a certain prospect
next year.
Mr.. Halleck's ambitions
illustrate one of the Vice
Presidents problems as he
attempts to sew up the pres
idential nomination through
his appeal for the party reg
ulars. Mr.. Nixon must but

yet he dareS not ALLEVIATE the

that while a Hoosier hates
the enemy party he reserves
his switchblade knife for
members Of his own. It is
said that feuds are being for

Rattlesnokes at the Summit

prepared to attend an East
West conference is explained
by the fact that Khrushchev
concessions removed the SYM
bolic rattleSnakes which he
believed to have been
waiting.
Two inescapable deductions
remain.
One is that the world has
entered an era of direct
diplomacy and negotiation.
There are but two powers
with weapons in sufficient
quantity to wage war. Heads
Of those two states have now
met and agreed to q basis for
discussion. Other concerned"
nations will now be invited
In to seek eral agree
ment. Old-fashioned diplo-
macy, which for years has
been ineffective, will hardly
make a comeback in our time.
Summit talks will be the
future rule.
The second deduction is
this. We must establish a new
image Of communism and its
salesman, Nikita Khrushchev.
We see communism as the
same old competitor and a
ruthless one. It is not a
sporting opponent. Nor is it
one which accepts the Mar
quis Of Queensberry rules.
But the old image of Khru-
shchev and his brand Of
communism does not fit the
man and the performance
we have just seen. He and
his craftsmanship were shrewd
and carefully calculated. He
is a more dangerous COMPETE
tor and propaganda than
we had believed. But we can
not meet him by wringing
our hands and being afraid.
We must defeat him with our
own system-by making it
stronger and bringing more
people to know its real mean.

prey for food, and, baking

in an alert, attacking mood.
This. the President thinks,
saved them. He and his
friend stood there, cold
sweat chilling them until the
dry, sullen death-warnings
slowly quoted. All was still
again. The snakes, blended
into bush and rock, could
not be seen.
They whispered out the
plan. Since they had not
been bitten on their hurried
way up. then the way back
was that same route. So,
carefully. slowly, like Sleep
walkers. they made their way
back, putting boots where
boots had been but minutes
before. It seemed an eternity
down. But they made it.
Had luck not been with
them on that journey to a
Western summit, they would
almost certainly have been
bitten. Perhaps by more than
one snake. They were many
miles away from the post.
If events on that summit had
not turned out as they did,
a young officer named
Dwight Eisenhower, to for
tune and to fame unknown,
might well have been buried
in the post cemetery and his
name forgotten save by the
sorrowing family.

wreck, at the outset, the eff
fectiveness, not only Of q nu-
clear test ban but Of any
general agreement on arms

Wet Union would. almost
certainly, reject or ignore
any agreement If France was
to unilaterally exclude her
