Sweetness Ineffective in Chipping Away
At Granite of Soviet Misconceptions

Therefore, the problem is
how TO find a mechanism, or
modus vivendi, for getting
along with such a person.
There is no formula for this
nor will there be one. 1t will
be slow, tedious business OF
discovering ways to give and
take.
There is ahead Of us, bar
ring war, 20 or maybe even
so years Of working at this
problem. Mr.. Nixon has adj
vocated and patiently is seek
ing to make the basis of a
new policy the maintenance
of open lines of communica-
ton, of exchanges and talks.
There were many inspiring
and almost incredible scenes
on the journey testifying to
his belief and intent. One of
the incidents which illus
trate this was on his last
night in Poland. There was
a garden supper at the
American Embassy. At the
inevitable time for toasts
and responses, Mr.. Nixon
and the Prime Minister of
Poland. Josef Cyrankiewicz,
stood on a small platform,
stark in the blaze of flood
lights.
The Polish Prime Minister
said Poland was a socialist
country and that she looked
toward the Soviet Union, but
that she wanted peace, work.
ing relations and friendship
with the United States. This
was the ingredient of his
toast to which they and the
guests drank. This scene
would not have been possible
even a few months ago. But
it is one of what must be-
come a great mosaic of &C
ton. Soviet distrust, suspi-
cion and misunderstanding

Vice Presidents Hand in Exchange
Seen Tying Him to Consequences

Nikita Khrushchev's forth
coming journey here is being
approached by most elected
politicians as though it were
a ticking package arriving in
the mail with foreign writing
on the wrapper.
True, some powerful men
in the Senate and House
have unhesitatingly well
coined this new cold war
diplomacy. These for the
most part. however, have
been in two categories:
Those who felt that their
positions, or sense of public
responsibility, simply re-
quired them to back Presi-
dent Eisenhower in this
enterprise, and those whose
constituents include no over
whelming numbers of the
nationality groups, primarily
the Poles, which have most
suffered from Soviet tyranny.
1t is true, too, that Vice
President Richard Nixon's
part in arranging the Soviet
Premier's exchange of visits
with Mr.. Eisenhower is
looked upon as a brilliant po-
litical stroke, certainly for
the short run. AS of now, he
has meaSurably improved his
chances for the 1860 presi-
dental nomination.
But the real consensus
among the pros has another
and a little-known side. This
is that Mr.. Nixon has taken
the greatest risk ever run by
a presidential aspirant in
tying himself so closely to
high-level cold war converse
tons he can never for a
moment shape or control.
The Vice President, him
self. this correspondent can
testify, was aware of at least
a great element of risk before
he went to Moscow.

RALPH McGLL
Notes on Nixon's Journey:

Notes on Nixon's journey:
In Warsaw a Pole told
Richard M. Nixon: you
have done we'll in your talks
in Russia and here chiefly
because you have always re-
piled to assertions and accu-
sations. Always remember
that in the Communist dia-
lect silence means agree
ment."
Mr.. Nixon's performance
was that of an adroit de-
batter. He could counter ra-
Their than be locked in hope
less, fruitless philosophic
debate.
He went to Russia with his
homework done. He did so
because he is intelligent and
knew the Russians would
have done theirs. 1t may be
assumed that President
Dwight Eisenhower will find
it necessary to do exhaustive
preparation before MS jour-
ney to Moscow in the
autumn.
vice President Nixon
knew. and may now be able
to make clear to Americans,
a fact persistently ignored
by many, even in the Con-
greSs. 1t is that the Russian
mind does not work like that
of a Westerner. 1t does no
good to argue with Khru-
shchev about communism.
He. perhaps, is much more Of
a true Communist than was
Stain. That bloody and ruth
less man used communism
as a device to obtain, hold
and WELD power. Khru-
shchev is a dedicated Com
munist. 1t is his religion. He
SO discusses and argues it. He
told the Polish miners, for
example, to look toward
communism rather than their
priests and a God which,
Khrushchev said, was nom
existent. He is not going to
change his mind.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-14

The real responsibility, Of
course, is the Presidents.
But Mr.. Eisenhower is leav-
ing Office. If things go wrong,
it will be the man nominated
to succeed him who must bear
the heat. And if this nominee
is Richard Nixon, he will be
wholly unable to avoid the
consequences. He is associated
both with the decision to deal
with Mr.. Khrushchev and the
arrangements that brought it
about.
Even those politicians who
believe we simply had to
break the ice with the Rus
slams are just as happy that
they were not the ones to
break it. For they remember
two facts of life. One is that
the public may first strongly
cry support for a bold and
dangerous foreign policy and
in a moment turn bitterly
upon the leaders who did
what the public first wanted.
Another is that no real or
alleged political sin has been
punished so savagely as the
sin of being wrong" in world
affairs. No one could have
believed it after the opposi-
ton had turned it's guns upon
Humans War" But Con-
gresS almost unanimously APP
proved when President Tru-
man first sent forces into
Korea. So did the public, as
the congressional mail of
that period made plain.
But later, when the casu-
atty lists began to mount and
the war to widen, all this
changed. The Democratic
Party, itself, was repudiated.
So, too, of course, was Mr..
Truman - who was leaving
Office then, as Mr.. Eisenhower
is now. But so. too, was Mr..

unions and their pickets are
involved.
There is one notable excep-
ton. In an editorial in the
Wall Street Journal one finds
a big news story on the sub
ject, 1t comes in the very
week when Congress is de-
batting labor-reform legisla-
ton. The Journal prints a
San Francisco edition, so the
excerpt which follows is evil

formation obtained at first
hand:

right now there is a Team
sters' strike. This strike was
called last week against men,
Der companies of the Cali
fornia Trucking Association
and the San Francisco Dray-
mems Association. which in
clude a good many but by no
means all of the companies
that do trucking in the bay
area. Some $500 members of
the Transfers Union itself
are not directly involved in
this labor dispute and indie
pendent truckers. and their
drivers, have nothing to do
with the dispute at all.
But no matter. The Team
sterS who drive trucks for the
non : involved companies
aren't driving, either. Nor are
the independent trucks NOV
ing very far.
We've got 20 trucks
loaded, ready to go, but we
can't get them out reports a
dispatcher for saw Fine
Foods. Drivers of trucks for
Zellerbach Paper Co. and
several other firms started
out both Monday and Tues
day but soon were back
again, cargo undelivered.
THE reason is a familiar
one. The striking Transfers
on Monday threw up a road
block on the bay bridge and
halted truck traffic. All over
the city and on the access
roads rowing bands of Team
ster 'pickets' were pulling
'unco-operative' drivers out
of the trucks. One independ-
ent-minded driver reported
that four carloads of rowing

down.

I'm 1851 a suit was instituted
against Prince Edward County in
Virginia and Clarendon County
South Carolina to require school
migration In 1854 the Warren
Court rendered a decision directed
at these two counties imposing in

The great and able Virginia
Judge. Sterling Hutcheson in a
memorable decision found deliber-

years
"Deliberate Speed
THE leaders of the NAACP then
took an appeal, although they were
urged not to do 50 by many Of
those who favored the Warren SUI
preme Court decision. Then the
Court Of Appeals, composed Of three
Federal judges, over-ruled Judge
Iutcheson and ordered the Prince

Such an enforced indignation meant
