Khrushehev Meets Firm Eisenhower,
And Reds Continue Hot and Cold Wars

sidered midas and have re-
inforced their garrisons along
the border"
The cold war still Is a hot
war in many parts Of the
world. Nikita Khrushchev
has done nothing to stop the
fighting by the Communists
in Laos or along the border
Of India. He signed, never
theless. a communique Of the
pious kind usually issued
after formal meetings of
governmental officials. 1t said
that the Soviet Premier and
President Eisenhower had
agreed that all outstanding
international questions
should be settled not by the
application Of force, but by
peaceful means by negotia-
tons"
Yet throughout. the world
Soviet subversion continues
as billions of rubles are spent
to stir up revolutions IN
Southeast Asia and in North
Africa, and to foment fric-
ton between the United
States and the countries of
Latin America.
To cause each side to give
up its missiles and nuclear
weapons is the stated objec-
tive of the forthcoming dis
cuSsions on disarmament, but
Mr.. Khrushchev didn't say
anything about disarming the
infiltrators who are operating
in behalf of the Communist
cause throughout the world
on the direct orders of the
Soviet government in Moscow.
AS for the status of West
Berlin, it hasn't been changed
by the KhruShchev Eisen-
hover conferences. 1t is still
up to the various governments
concerned to argue further
about this. Presumably there
is to be a summit meeting
soon at Geneva to continue
the discussions, after which
the matter again will be
passed on to the four foreign
ministers to consider.
It's good thing that Presi-
dent Eisenhower's trip to the
Soviet Union has been post
poned till next spring. 1t gives
time for the Soviets to build
UP through the negotiations
in the meantime a better
basis for consultation with
Mr.. Eisenhower on outstand-
ing issues - possibly some
minor concessions.
What it all comes down to
is that those who have argued
that there is merit in a series
of talks and discussions by
high officials of both sides

than that possessed by any
other Russian. His tour, on
which he almost certainly has
staged some carefully calcu-
lated fits Of temper, and ex-
ploded genuinely in others,
has added immensely to his
stature in Russia, some OF
Asia, and perhaps in some
areas of Africa. 1t cannot
have failed to impress the
Chinese. He will take his
new-found prestige almost
directly to Peiping after dis
playing it in Moscow.
Instinct and foreboding
cry aloud to argue that if he
is to make any practical con-
cesSion toward peace it will
be at the conclusion Of his
discussions with President
Eisenhower in Moscow. And
not in Washington.
To have such decisions
come from Moscow would not
merely give him greater
stature. 1t would propagan-
die Moscow as the worlds
peace capital" This would
serve to detract from Peip-
ing. 1t would direct the gaze
Of all uncommitted Asians
toward the Kremlin rather
than Macs great city. It
would present to the Com
munist peoples of the world
an image of Moscow as the
one city where great decisions
are possible. 1t would reduce
the prestige of Washington,
even though the news be ST.
multaneously released.
Khrushchev is lucky. He
possesses that Intangible, yet
visible, quality of dynamic
personality. No other Soviet
leader the West has seen has

IndustriuIist Slain
Wife Kills Self

PONTIAC. Mich, Sept. 20
(AP). - Industrialist James e.
Glib was shot to death yester-
day as he slept in his palatial
home in nearby Rochester yes
terday. His wife, Evelyn, died
Of three bullet wounds in the
chest today.
Oakland County sheriff's

murder and suicide.
They said Mrs. Glib, so, shot
her 54-year-old husband, a
Briggs Manufacturing Co. vice
president, with a .22-caliber
pistol and then turned the
weapon on herself.
Sheriff's detective M. C. Bau-

DAVID LAWRENCE

He came, he saw-but he
didn't conquer. Nikita Khru-
shchev tested President Eli
senhower and found him
firm in his convictions that
the people Of West Berlin
cannot be abandoned by the
free world. The ultimatum
filed by the Soviet Premier
last November was not with
drawn.
There may be a summit
conference, to be sure, in a
few weeks, but 1t will start
where the Geneva foreign
ministers conference left of.
No progress has been made
toward a solution, unless the
better climate created by the
Soviet Premier'S visit is a
kind Of progress in itself.
Likewise, it must be said
that Nikita Khrushchev stood
firm, II he yielded on any
point, it might be found
some day somewhere in the
ambiguity Of the many
phrases he poured out in his
visit to America.
The Sunday afternoon
press conference and the
farewell address later on
television. together with the
many opportunities for the
Soviet Premier in the last IL
days to give his side of the
controversy between the East
and the West. are indica-
tons of a mutual desire, on
the surface at least, for i'm
provement in the relations
between the Soviet Union
and the United States. But
this is the way Soviet propa-
ganda workS-it gives a glow
ing description of its inten-
tons. but. when it comes
down to brass tacks, the only
solution that seems peaceful
to the Moscow regime in
wolves the surrender by the
other side of all its convic-
tionS.
The whole trip was a di-
verSionary tactic, an effort
to simplify the cold war on
the propaganda front as if
it were merely an argument
between two economic sys-
TENS like socialism and cap
italism and as If all the
pending questions could be
settled easily around the con-
ference table. But even as
the Soviet Premier was talk
ing at the press conference
t a Bile Sunday afternoon,
there came over the United
Press International wires the
following dispatch:

Mr.. Eisenhower laughed off
a question on whether the
Kremlin chief told the grand
children they would live under
communism when they grew
up. Mr.. Khrushchev has re-
marked to Westerners in the
past that, your grandchildren
will live under communism
With a note of pride, how
ever, he said that he thought
one Of the youngsters would
have been able to understand
what the Soviet leader was
talking about on more serious
subjects. He obviously referred
to David Eisenhower, IL, the
apple of the presidential eye.
Unanimous Decision"
Mr.. Khrushchev gave this
account of the grandchildren'S
role in setting spring as the
time for their visit to Russia
at his own news conference
yesterday:
I'VE held a conference with
them as to whether they
should accompany their grand
father to our country, and If
so, when. At that conference
they and I reached a unani-
nous decision that they should
come.

G. 0. P. Seen Profiting by Spring Visit
Despite Premiers Sweet ExpIonotion

No one will want to risk the
onus Of interfering with pos
sibly fruitful discussions in
Moscow.
1t will enable the President
to promote his budget-bal-
ancing at the expense Of the
heavy military expenditures
which now forbid 1t. With the
hope Of peace and disarma-
ment still looming. his per-
sonal effect on Soviet policy
unclear, an atmosphere Will
be created in which argu-
ments for new and costly
space programs will have
heavy going.
The alluring prospects for
an end to cold war will domi-
nate the scene, just as
Khrushchev has dominated
1t to the virtual exclusion of
all else during the last IL
days. To use the Roosevelt
phrase, the President is plan
ming it that way. He con-
ceivably could wiring a tax
cut from the situation as
icing on the Republican cake.

influenced Children,
Eisenhower Confirms

President Eisenhower smil-
ingly confined today that his
grandchildren helped influence
his decision to defer his visit
to the Soviet Union until next
spring.
The secret" revealed by So
Wet Premier Khrushchev was
correct, he told his news con-
ference. Mr.. Khrushchev said
the question of timing came ur
after he extended a personal
invitation to the four Eisen-
hover grandchildren to accom-
pany their grandfather to the
Soviet.
While the idea of waiting un-
til spring to go to Russia ap-
pealed to the younger Eisen-
howers it also made sense to
him, the President said. He
noted that both he and Mr.
khrushchev have very busy
schedules for the rest of this
year.
Question Draws Laugh
The President described the
meeting of the Soviet leader
with the grandchildren at his
Gettysburg farm last Saturday
as a "heart-warming family
scene" Mr.. Khrushchev, him
self a grandfather, apparently
succeeded in charming the
younger generation Of Eisen-
howers.
