When it became evident that
the Soviet Premier, who provoked
the Berlin crisis by an ultimatum
last November, was torpedoing the
Geneva conference by refusing to
allow Mr.. Gromyko any latitude
to negotiate, Mr.. Eisenhower was
said to have decided that rather
than allow a failure at Geneva to
occur without another avenue
open for continuing the discus
sions on Germany, he would be
willing to meet the Russian boss.
While Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Her
ter are reported to have played
important roles in bringing about
the agreement for the talks, Mr..
Eisenhower said that he person
ally initiated the move which led
to it.
The first concrete step appar-
emily was taken during the recent
visit of Frol R. Kozlov, the Soviet
First Deputy Premier. Mr.. Kozlov
was asked to breach with Mr..
Khrushchev the idea of a visit to
the United States. The Soviet
leader. who flguratively has had
his bags packed for such a trip
for long time. accepted with all
the hesitancy of a Little Lacquer
presented with an invitation to
the Yankee Stadium. The Soviet
bid to Mr.. Eisenhower followed.

reflected in comments by Repub-
lican and Democratic congress
sional leaders. the American press
and Allied, Communist and neu-
trail nation officials.
Both Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Khrushchev stressed the issue Of
peace in their announcements.
The President referred to his hope

cold war in his talks with the So
Wet leader, who comes to this
country September Is for a 13-day
stay, and later during the Presi-
dents own tour of the USSR. For
his part, Mr.. Khrushchev used the
word "peace" and its equivalent no
fewer than 20 times in his brief
statement.
What lasting benefits, if any.
will come from the conversations
between the Biggest Two is, of
course, a matter of conjecture.
But observers have noted several
immediate gains as consequence
of the agreement to exchange
views, if not actually to negotiate.

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
NewPhasei Our Diplomacy

President Eisenhower looked at
the corps of reporters he had
hastily summoned to a news con-
ference last Monday and smiled
broadly. After referring to the
worst kept secret in a long
time" he said he thought there
might be enough interest in the
matter now to justify the re-
porters' time.
The rumor that Soviet Premier
Khrushchev would be invited to
visit the United States had been
heard all over Europe for the three
days before and observations by
Vice President Nixon, who was on
his own mission to the USSR and
Poland, that such an arrangement
would be a good thing, heightened
expectations.
Still, none of this diluted the
dramatic, global impact of the
Presidents announcement that he
and the Soviet leader had agreed
to an exchange of visits, beginning
with Mr.. Khrushchev's trip to the
United States in mid-September
and-his own to the Soviet Union
later in the fall.
There was an immediate and
highly favorable reaction at home
and abroad to Mr.. Eisenhower's
decision to take a new path,
venture, however hesitant, into
personal diplomacy at the highest
level, in the pursuit of a peace
which was most lately threatened
by the Berlin crisis.

Eisenhower Strategy

President Eisenhower's own
strategy has been somewhat
clouded. The administrations Ia
Dor reform proposals have been
more stringent than those sup
ported by the Democratic leader
ship in Congress. Until last
Thursday, however, Mr.. Eisen-
hover had not Joined in open
battle with the advocates of
middle -the-road" legislation.
In a special radio-television TO
the Nation Thursday night the
President took his stand in blunt
and unequivocal terms.
He dismissed the Kennedy bill
that passed the Senate 80 to l
in April as weak and ineffective.
The moderate labor reform bill
approved recently by the House
Labor Committee is even worse,
he said.
Describing corruption and
racketeering in some labor unions
as a national disgrace" he put
himself 1rrevocably on the side
of tough" as opposed to soft"
reform legislation.

ton from gangsters and crooks

Warning of McEIroy

After telling a Pentagon news
confer once on Thursday that he
does not have great confidence
about the results of negotiating
with the Russians, Mr.. McElroy
said:
I'VE must guard against the
natural inclination of this coun-
try to believe that peace is just
around the corner"
Mr.. Herter, on his arrival home
from the Geneva parley, said he
believed the Eisenhower-Khru
shchev agreement had eased the
Berlin crisis. But when he was
asked whether he thought the
talks might lead to a solution of
this key problem, he replied:
II hope so. I don't know"
Although Britain, France and
West Germany approved the BIZ

of enthusiasm, there have been
reports of fear in the latter two
countries that the President and
Mr.. Khrushchev might reach
agreements, however tentative, in
areas directly affecting them. This

Hoffo:


In pleading their cases on the
labor reform issue to the Nation
last week neither President Eisen-
hover nor Mr.. Meany mentioned
the name of James r. Hoffa.
Mr.. Eisenhower did not remind
his Nationwide audience of the
trail of graft and corruption fol-
lowed by Senate investigators
through Mr.. Hoffa'S Transfers
Union. Mr.. Meany said nothing
of the embarrassment to other,
respected unions caused by Mr..
Hoffa's failure to clean house in
the racket-ridden Team sters.
There was no need for such re-
minderS.
The shadow of Jimmy Hoffa
has provided advocates of the
tougher approach to labor reform
with their most telling argument.
Last week the Senate Rackets
Committee raked Mr.. Hoffa with
another broadside that was clearly
calculated to prod Congress into
acting to correct the abuses of the
Transfers.

Labor Bill Chances

1t was assumed at the start of
the 86th Congress that no labor
bill which provoked the about
opposition Of the AFL-CIO could
be written into law. The 1858
congressional elections were gen.
orally conceded to be a victory for
organized labor as well as for the
Democratic Party. Labor support
undoubtedly played a large role
in the Democratic landslide; 10
per cent of the congressional can
didateS backed by the AFL-CIO. a
great majority of them Democrats.
were elected.
One of the paradoxes of the
Democratic-controlled 86th Con-
gress has been the failure of or
ganized labor to WELD the influ-
ence it was credited with in jan
uary. The Mcclellan bill of
rights" was first written into the
Senate's labor reform bill over the
violent opposition of the AFL-CIO.
Though it was modified in final
passage to Q form less unpalata-
BILE to labor. it has since been
branded by the union group as I'M
acceptable.
There is a wide degree of differ
ence. however, in the opposition
of organized labor to the Kennedy
bill and the Landrum- Griffin
measure. The AFL-CIO has mar
shalled its full strength to defeat
Landrum-Grif and any member
of Congress who casts his vote for
the bill will risk carrying an anti
labor label into the next election
campaign.

ton Of four-year effort to sell
Moscow detente at a price which
would include satellite liberation.
If there is to be liberation, it will
now be the natural result of a
detente; the detente no longer is
being withheld pending payment
of a price. Many have argued
that an easing of East-West ten
sion would, in the natural course
of events. produce a desirable
evolution inside the satellite en-
pire-an erosion from deSpot-
ISM" in George Remnants phrase.
This theory will now be put to
the test.
Most other advantages to the
West from the Eisenhower
Khrushchev visits are equally
hypothetical or dependent upon
Skillful follow-up. But in the view
OF experienced U. N. observers, they
are even greater in potential.
Propaganda Triumph
One such advantage is not
hypothetical; it already is being
reaped. The invitation is a prop
uganda triumph for Washington
virtually everywhere in the world
except in Nationalist China, where
typical editorial comment was:
I'VE mourn for the gloomy future
of mankind"
The move has, in one bold
stroke, lifted American policy out
of rigid, defensive posture, U. N.
people say, and given it the ap-
pearance-indeed, much of the
substance-of imagination, in
itiative, and flexibility. 1t por-
trays Washington in the worlds
eyes as eager for an accommoda-
ton with the Soviet Union, and
distinguishes the image of Amer
lea from the image of Adenauer
and De Gaulle. To much of the
world, the latter image-rightly
or wrongly-is one of rigidity and
stubborness.

Geneva Out of Date

More specifically, the effects of
the Big -Four foreign ministers
in their 10-week attempt at &C.
neva to find a solution to the
Berlin German problem have been
made rather inconSequential. Who
cares as long as the leaders
of the two superpowers are willing
to talk face-to-face about the
matter and possibly to agree to a
later summit meeting of allied
and Communist heads of state?
On other fronts, new hope has
been generated that the West and
East might finally reach an agree
ment on a nuclear weapons test
ban and resume their discussions
of the broader problem of dis
armament.
Soviet leaders and their con-
trolled communications m ia
have exuded optimism in their
comments on the visits. Andrea
Gromyko. Soviet Foreign Minis
ter who refused to bulge at
Geneva, said he has noted a
marked warming up" of the
international atmosphere. Mr..
Khrushchev, who can be ebullient
as well as brusque, was in appar-
ent high spirits when he dis
cussed the matter with reporters
in Moscow.
American officials, on the other
hand. have made a point to inject
a strong note of caution to the
American people not to expect any
miracles from the Eisenhower
Khrushchev conversations. Mr..
Nixon, Secretary of State Herter
and Defense Secretary McElroy
all made this point,

Geneva:
De0d-End

To most observers it had been
clear for weeks that, barring un-
likely Soviet concessions, the
Geneva foreign ministers confer
ence on Berlin and the German
problem would grind to the ia
mlliar dead-end of Stalemate that
has characterized virtually every
West-East diplomatic discussion
since World War II.
Then came the announcement
out of Washington and Moscow
last Monday that made the out
come certain.
President Eisenhower and Pre-
mier Khrushchev agreed to ex-
change views and visits this fall.
But while the announcement
ended any lingering hope for a
success at Geneva, it also served
to cushion the shock of the con-
ference's obvious failure.
The recess communique, APP
proved by all of the foreign minis
tiers, struck as optimistic note as
the facts and their skill with
diplomatic language would allow.
1.-THE positions of both sides on
certain points became closer" it
said without identifying the points.
THE discussions which have
taken place will be useful for the
further negotiations which are
necessary in order to reach an
agreement"
Blunt speaking Secretary of
State Herter later put the blame
for the parley's failure Squarely
on the Soviet Union. He asserted
that the Kremlin'S aim of trying
Ito ease the Western powers out
of West Berlin" made successful
negotiations impossible.
Apparently" he added, Con
tinued competitive coexiStence of
freedom and communism in Ber-
lin is Tnrewarding to the Soviet
Union" This was a barbed shaft
heaved in the direction of Pre-
mler KhruShchev, top Soviet
salesman for competitive coexist-
ence.
Mr.. Gromyko was conciliatory
and optimistic. He said that
while important differences of
opinion exist, the conference has
led to a definite rapprochement"
between the East and West on
the Berlin and German issues.
And he reiterated that "the way
of life chosen by the people of
West Berlin should not be inter-
fered with"
The Big Four ministers said
they would resume their discus
sions which began last May, at a
time and place to be determined
through diplomatic channels. Any
resumption, it was clear, would
come only after the completion
of the Eisenhower Khrushchev
visits late in the fall.

opposite assumption, that Mr..
Khrushchev is strongly and
permanently in power, and that
therefore events inside the Soviet
Union can be influenced only by
influencing him.
The opportunity to come to the
United States strengthens Mr..
Khrushchev's personal position
UNNECESSARILY inside the Presidium.
If he still has significant opposi-
ton, it is now being Silenced by
the argument that "Nikita is in

His position is being bolstered
for the same reason that British
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan

button to what may well be his
principal foreign-policy goal: a
detente on the basis of the status
quo, that is, an easing of tension
without fundamental change in
the power balance.
The existing situation in Europe
is satisfactory to the West only
in West Berlin. Mr.. Nixon's visit
to Poland may imply that it is
acceptable, if not satisfactory,
there. But elsewhere Soviet pos

ruled with an iron hand without
even the lesser mitigationS of

Towards a Good Bill

To be effective, he asserted, a
labor reform bill must deal with
three problems that are not met
adequately by any of the mod
crate measures before Congress:
l. "Blackmail" picketing, used
to coerce an employer into
recognizing union that does not
represent his employees.
2. Secondary boycotts, as in the
case of a store which is picketed
because it sells the products of a
company whose employees have re-
fused to join the union involved.
8. The mo mans land" of labor
disputes. These are disputes in
volving small firms which the
National Labor Relations Board
declines to handle because there is
no substantial interstate issue. The
Supreme Court has ruled that the
States lack authority to handle
such cases themselves.
The minimum features cited by
Mr.. Eisenhower are all contained
in the Landrum- Griffin bill sup
ported by a strong coalition of
Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis in the House of Representa-
tives. The President described 1t
as a good start toward a real
labor reform bill"
The House is scheduled to
begin debate on labor reform this
week, with prospects of one of the
most bitter floor fights of the
current session.
The PreSident's support
strengthened the chances of the
Landrum- Griffin bill but may have
diminished the prospects that the
Senate and House will be able to
reconcile their differences and
approve labor reform legislation
this year.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat of
Massachusetts. principal author
of the Senate-passed bill, has
declared the Landrum- Griffin

laced from the start with politics
and the heady knowledge that
public reaction to whatever solu-
ton is provided by Congress carries
immense political potential.
Democrats, who benefited
heavily from labor support in the
1858 elections, have faced a par
ticularly thorny problem. AS the
majority party in Congress, the
obligation is upon them to produce
a labor bill that will provide the
reforms expected by the public.
They must do so. however, without
alternating organized labor.
The Republican problem is Of a
different nature. The Republicans
do not have the strength in their
own ranks to pass a truly tough"
labor reform bill that could per-
init the party to claim credit for
cleaning up the mess" A COM
promise labor bill is of dubious
value to the Republican cause.
Many party leaders feel that the
G. o. P. would be wiser to use its
strength to defeat a weak labor
bill and gain the advantage of
blaming the Democrats for failing
to produce more adequate legis-
lation.

against a visit by Mr.. Khrushchev
has been the difficulty Of assuring
his personal safety. Apparently
the recent tours of the country
w Anastas 1. Mikoyan, Soviet
Leputy Premier, and Mr.. Kozlov
have indicated that the problem
is not insurmountable.
But the personal security prob
lem is still recognized as a serious
one. Many Americans undoubtedly
consider Mr.. Khrushchev persona
non grata. Trouble could easily be
provoked. Mr.. Nixon took the
pains to make a special plea to
the American people to show the
visitor the same courtesies he re-
ceived during his stay in the So
Wet Unioi. Mr.. Eisenhower echoed
this plea.

he had agreed only to an exchange
of views. The President also an
nounced that he would go to
Europe August % to confer with
Prime Minister Macmillan of
Britain, President de Gaulle and
Chancellor Adenauer of West
Germany.
He said he would discuss prob
lens of mutual interest" with
these leaders. If there are any
misgivings to be cleared up, if
the Allies have fears that any of
their interests might be washed
away by the melting ice of the
cold war, Mr.. Eisenhower will
have a chance to reafirm Western
solidarity.
