any chance Of q program Of
disarmament to relieve tax
payers Of their big burdens?
Is there o possibility Of q ban
on the further production Of
nuclear weapons, as the
United States has advocated?
The answer is that when 1t
suits Mr.. Khrushchev to make
q concession that Is In his
own interest he may give q
crumb here and there in ex-
change for something he
really wants.
But the overall picture
will not change as o result Of
mere negotiations. The rea-
son Is that Western pressure
upon Khrushchev is not mill
tary and cannot be, and no
other pressure from the OUT
side is being exerted that
seems likely as yet to af-
feet him.
What then is the answer.
and whence will 1t come?
This correspondent is con-
WINGED the answer win come
from the peoples behind the
Iron Curtain and particu-
larly from the people In the
Soviet Union itself.
Khrushchev himself Is try
ing desperately to get world
prestige. The West Is invol-
unfairly helping him. He Is
not popular inside the So
Wet Union or with the men,
bers Of his own party. He Is
regarded as something Of q
clown by lots Of his own peo-
pie. To the outside world he
Is a man with immense
power. But his power could
crumble overnight II the
200 million people inside the
Soviet Union decided to ditch
him.
Are there any outward
signs Of It? Revolutionaries
don't advertise In advance
their plans or their feelings.
Prior to the outbreak against
the Gar in 1917, there were
no such signs either. but
when the revolt came the
army and the secret police
went over to the revolution
instantly.

GENEVA. - Two CONTRA
dictory conclusions can be
reached as this correspondent
leaves the scene Of the four
power conference after three
weeks of iirst-hand study and
private talks with various Of
ficials Of Western countries.
One is that the conference
Is q complete failure. and the
other is that nothing is q fail
ure which involves continuous
talk rather than war between
two adversaries.
Within q few days the
Geneva sessions viii end with
q communique that win gloss
over the true deadlock on
fundamental issues. A minor
agreement will be made to
recognize formally the pre-
vious rights Of the Western
countries in their sector Of
Berlin. It will be hailed as an
"interim solution. It will
have one advantage-it will
confirm the legal rights Of
the West and set them forth
more clearly than was done
in the fuzzily worded agree
ments after the end Of World
War II.
But basically what was the
conference all about? Nikita
Khrushchev issued an ultima
tum last November demand
ing that the Western troops
get out Of their part Of Berlin
and then abandoned the de-
mand temporarily when he
got his way "a four-power
conference and q promise Of
q summit" meeting. Judged
by what has been revealed
here. q summit" meeting is .
foredoomed to failure. too. in
the sense that no solution Of
Europe's overall problem is
likely to be agreed upon. When
such q summit" meeting
which would last just q week
or so-is over, the same sub
jects would be turned over to
another Foreign Ministers
conference to be discussed
further. For already the West
has found itself approving Of
protracted and prolonged ne
gotiations that may extend
over q period Of years.
What is all this getting the
people Of the world? Is there

capitalism. That's not novel.
Even inside the United States
and Britain are prominent
politicians who are anti
capitalistic and who favor
socialistic policies In the
economic field.
But inside the Soviet Union
criticism Of communism Is
growing. The argument Is
that It isn't achieving It's
professed ideals. The discus
sion Is about ways TO inn
prove its operation. The
question is whether the pres
ent regime can In the long
run satisfy the present criti-
cism. which is bound TO in
crease because many Of
Khrushchev's policies and
programs are inadequate
even from the standpoint Of
Communistic doctrine.
The West can continue to
talk. It can watch the pro-
cess inside the Soviet Union
and do nothing. But the
West can hasten the day Of
revolution inside the Soviet
Union by refusing to play UP
Khrushchev or help him po-
litically inside his own coun-
try. To 60 to q summit"
conference and let q lot Of
pictures be printed through
out the Communist world
showing President Eisenhow-
err fraternizing with the cruel
and ruthless Khrushchev Is
to dishearten millions Of lib
erty-loving people In the sat-
elite countries as well as In
the Soviet Union itself.
There are those In the
West who think Khrushchev
can be converted to reason
ableness and decency. There
were in the 1s30s many who
thought you could do busi-
ness with Hitler" There Is
only one possible advantage
in talking to q dictator. and
that's Of limited scope. It
Is to use the occasion to
publicize before the whole
world the cause Of freedom
not with the idea Of pene-
trating the deaf ears Of the
dictator himself. but to in
still courage and hope in the
hearts and minds Of all the
peoples behind the Iron Cur
tain who must some day exert
true power to attain their
freedom.

The Struggle Over Foreign Aid

Republicans are urging SEN
ator Fulbright on. although
understandably they do not
care to take an open lead
with him.
Even this. however. Is not
the end Of o tale Of compli-
cations compounded. For even
assuming that Fulbright and
Company at last bring the
true administration" the
President himself. onto their
side. there viii be yet more
trouble.
This trouble Is in-built In
Congress itself. For o FIVE
year authorization program
would bypass the powerful
appropriations committees Of
Congress. Heretofore. these
have had the final word on
money every year. Il might
be possible to coax the Senate
Appropriations Committee to
60 along. It would be pro-
foundry difficult, however. to
persuade the House commit
tee TO do 50.

formed In O businesslike way,

join his bipartisan foreign
policy hackers in Congress to

mittee alliance on Capitol

face Of growing national and
congressional boredom and
dissatisfaction with the old
model.

CONSTANTINE BROWN

Because Of the Importance
attached to the foreign
ministers conference, the
funeral service for former
Secretary Dulles and the
subsequent little summit"
meeting with President FL
senhower at the White
House. Nikita Khrushchev's
visit to Albania received rel
atively little attention.
Yet In informed quarters
particularly among the mil
itary-there is much specu-
lation and concern over the
presence Of the Soviet top
man in q little satellite coun-
try situated at the entrance
to the strategically impor-
tant Adriatic Sea. Mr..
Khrushchev was accom-
panied by his defense min
lister, Marshal Rodion NAL
inovsky. and was Joined later
by Peng Ten-huai. Red
Chinese defense minister.
The portent Of the 12-day
visit In the two-by-four sa-
tellite Of the Kremlin is by
necessity beclouded because
there are no shoppers Of any
kind. There Is not even an
underground. such as exists
in most other satellites and
in the Soviet Union itself, to
leak out bits Of information.
Hence the story being pieced
together here must, be de-
scribed merely as Calculated
speculations." This is q new
expression used by some in
telligence services TO indicate
that the speculations are
based on some known data
from sources outside the
subject" country.
No credence Is given to the
official explanation from Sow
let sources that Mr.. Khrush-
chev and the accompanying
officials went to Albania to
choose sites for missile pads
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-01

and to blackmail Italy and
Greece into rejecting the
guided missiles we offered
them. This could have been
done with "quiet indiscre-
ton" The Russians have q
number Of submarine pens in
Albania. They have never adj
vertised these installations
but have permitted informa-
ton to. leak out. q
Some Americans, but more
particularly European intel
ligence services, construe this
visit as connected especially
with the repeatedly difiicult
situation which exists in cer-
tain portions of Yugoslavia
Tin what used to be Serbia.
Montenegro and Macedonian
These intelligence services are
inclined to believe that the
enmity between Mr.. Khrush-
chev and Marshal Tito is very
much like some Of the COM
mercial wrestling matches
when the contenders appear
to gouge each others eyes
but only for the benefit Of the
public.
Actually. 1t is said, Mar
shall Tito has remained loyal
to the Kremlin philosophy
and the Soviet Union is help
ing the Yugoslav dictator
militarily. It is true that the
agreed economic help is no
longer forthcoming but this
does not matter since per-
ennially optimistic Washing
ton is supplying much Of
Yugoslavia's needs in the
faint hope that it will deepen
the make believe breach be-
tween Moscow and Belgrade.
To support this contention
that the Soviet Union has
not divorced Yugoslavia mill
tarily, the following allega-
tons are made, repeatedly
based on reliable information.

expert Mikai Lasajev was

It Is dificult to appraise
accurately this intelligence
in a Communist state like
Yugoslavia, although the
Iron Curtain is not as solid
as 1t is in the Soviet Union,
Bulgaria. Romania or Al
bania. It is equally dtfiicult to
say with any certainty
whether the seething which

finish it. The country con-
cerned cannot be absolutely
certain that the aid permit
ting such q start in one year
will be forthcoming for the
next year.
But this basic purpose has
run into complications beyond
ready belief. 1.-THE admins
tration" Is described as being
opposed to enlArging the re-
payable loan fund beyond the
S7OO million asked for 1t by
the Budget Bureau. And this
is the state Of affairs. even
though the President himself
two years ago was asking Just
such an enlargement-and for
five years.
But though "the admins
tration" is taking this line,
the facts underneath are
these: A very important part
Of "the administration" the
State Department, is quietly
for. and not against, such an
enlargement. Thus 1t comes
down to this: The admins
tration" here really means the
Budget Bureau and the Treas
ury Department. The func-
ton Of these agencies Is to
try to keep the books bal

they may say in Pakistan or

by greatly increasing - in

Incidentally they also want
to reduce military aid some

and better roads.
Their real and basic pur-
pose, In a word, Is to set up a
non-handout kind Of eco

authorization. This would
mean that other countries

ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN
Johnson, just as any other astute
politician, realizes that to win you
must make friends. That's a big
part of the business of POLITICS.
He set out to win back organized
labor, after recently allowing a
Senate-House conference commit
tee to undercut an amendment
liberalizing a portion of the I'm
employment compensation bill.
The way he went about it pro-
vided a good demonstration of
the "LBJ" technique. First he kept
the friendship of right-wing DEM
ocrat Harry F. Byrd of Virginia,
by permitting him to dominate the
congressional conference commit
tee which killed the Hberalizing
amendment.
Then he went before the ALL
CLIO unemployment conference
here in April and said he favored
a special congressional commits
sion to check into the reasons
for continuing unemployment.
This won applause from ALL
CLIO President George Meany.
Then, few days later, Johnson
went before the us. Chamber Of
Commerce (now presided over by
Christian Science Monitor Editor
Erwin D. Canham) and immedi-
ately made it clear that he was
not one Of those reckless spend
ers" about whom The White House
complains so much.
All in all Johnson may have i'm
pressed Byrd, Meany and Can
ham that he was quite guy. Even
his critics admit it takes skill to
ride two horses, going in opposite
directions, at the same time.
SHORT TAKES - Is the IRE
cession" over? 1t is for everyone
except the unemployed. A recent
business survey found that corp
grafton profits jumped to a level
1897 higher than year ago .
General Motors reports an 1870
gain in sales over last year. Quar-
terly earnings in the same period
are up 30%.
