first such meeting, between
the heads of America, Brit

in Teheran in 1913. It was
intended to display allied
solidarity to the world: to
negotiate differences; to
chart the next war moves
and coordinate military OPP
erations; and finally to pro-
ject postwar settlements and
organization.
1t was at that first summit
meeting that we suffered our

II the Soviets will not make
any international agreements
to ease tension in the world.
and since nobody wants a
wa. over West Berlin or any
thing else. what is the al
tentative policy that can be
pursued by the West?
This question is often
asked. but rarely answered.
One reason is that the West
ern governments have never
agreed among themselves as
to what they can do when
the Soviets become intransi-
gent and domineering.
The only alternative policy
really available to the allies
today Is to press the cold
war" on every front. This is
the kind of pressure the
Soviets would understand.
because it could throw a
monkey wrench into their
own domestic situation. Due
to the indifference of the
Western allies toward what
has been going on inside
Russia, the Kremlin has had
relatively little to worry
about from the outside.
But there are some serious
weaknesses in the position Of
the Soviet government with
respect to its own people. For
one thing. an enormous
amount of money is being
spent outside the Soviet
Union for political purposes.
This is not benefiting the
Soviet people. The funds are
being taken from the Soviet
people, whose lot would be
immeasurably improved II
some Of the money expended
in Latin America, the Middle
East and Asia to stir up
trouble in those areas could
be used instead to help i'm
prove the standard Of living
inside the Soviet Union.
There are, moreover, some
underprivileged areas within
the Soviet domain where
poverty. is extensive.
When will the allies begin
talking. to the Soviet people
about the huge expense Of

The way Senator Humphrey
is operating is an arresting IL
lustration Of a true political
professionalism of which this
highly articulate Senator, az

Job. Is a most authentic prac-
titioner. He is acting with
the cool forethought Of a
military commander, assisted
by two able political pro staff
officers, James H. Rowe jr..
and Herbert Waters.
The unfolding scene is not
unlike one in which a divis-
ional general prepares for q
climactic battle. This he will
do by a series of important
local actions intended TO Sc
cuIe his immediate position
and line Of supply before he
throws the full weight Of his
division into the big push.
The Humphrey camp, in
a word, has selected the Mid
die West as his indispensable
base for future operations
and is aggressively CONSOLE

TroveI Curbed
For Americans

HAVANA. June II tAP).-
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's
government yesterday frightened
controls on the movements Of
resident foreigners.
Without explanation, the
government began enforcing a
regulation requiring Americans
and other foreigners who live
here to obtain permits at two
different Offices before leaving
the country.
Would-be travellers among
ICuba's foreign residents were
told it would now take up to
70 hours to get the necessary
permits.
Some Americans said they
found officials slow and unco-
operative in processing their
applications. In a government
circular the reason for the new
regulation was said to be
confidential"
The regulation does not af-
fleet tourists.

The Kennedy-Humphrey Race

the area to gather up conven-
ton delegates) is already
rising from the Humphrey
batteries in the Middle West.
It centers upon a salient
formed Of Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
The immediate purpose Is
to seize and secure this ter
rain from the invading
probes OF the Kennedy
forces. There is no intention
to attempt soon to drive
eastward into Kennedy ter
ritory. This will come later
once the Middle West is felt
to be reasonably firmly in
hand.
Armies committed to great
coming actions require first
Of all a marshaling place
upon soil preferably friendly
and at worst benevolently
neutral. And. again to change
the metaphor. the soil of the
Middle West is important to
Senator Humphrey in an
other sense as well.
He has long since decided
to present himself as an ALL
out New Dealer in the old
Franklin D. Roosevelt model.
This will Of necessity in
volve an increasingly liberal
stance by the candidates.
liberal, indeed, as to frighten
many Democrats who are
not themselves necessarily
very conservative.
And. in our politics. an adj
vanced liberal from the Mid
west is somehow thought TO
be not so unsettling as one
from the East. The grass
roots there are felt to be
more nearly homeSpun. as it
were. than those in the East.
In sum. the Middle West Is
vital to Senator Humphrey as
a political base in a practical
way; it Is vital also in a
purely sentimental way.

The decision Of the Eisen-
hover administration to press
q haunting attack upon the
Democratic Congress means
that the IS Democratic held
State houses will get a fresh
look from Democratic Party
politicians.
1t is equally possible that
q really bruising fight be-
tween the two ends Of Penn
sylvania avenue will have a
similarly helpful effect on
the most conspicuous Repub-
lican operating from the
privileged sanctuary of a
State capitalization Rookie
Teller of New York. He can
remain aloof from the pres
ent running battle here. as
can his many Democratic
opposite numbers.
This is not quite the
"agonizing reappraisal" 1t
might seem at first glance.
The Rockefeller candidacy is
an accepted. fact now, subject
only to the chance that Vice
President Nixon might one
day soon be President and
enjoy the massive advantage
Of incumbency. None Of the
Democratic Senators listed in

q commanding lead or an
aura of inevitability.

takes place in early August

This is a proposition the
Republicans themselves
would be the first to concede
and thankfully to concede.
They instinctively recoil
from the cheerfully disor-

Pressing Cold War Against Reds

field. Certainly. the all-im-
portant objective--to reach
the Soviet people and urge
them to choose leaders who
will cooperate with other
nations - is relatively simple
to explain, day In and day
out.
This approach often has
been described as using
moral force" But the phrase
has come to be associated too
much with the mere preach
ment Of ideals. 1t is, in fact.
the use Of the force Of public
opinion. 1t means the con-
slant communication of ideas
across boundaries. Too often
this formula is dismissed as
useless because 1t is assumed
that q revolution inside the
Soviet Union Is impossible.
Just because no outward signs
Of any such trend have been
apparent. But such signs are
seldom visible to the naked
eye.
Soundings that are made
behind the Iron Curtain and
reports from escaping refu-
gees tell the story Of a people
unhappy. dissatisfied. and
aware to a larger extent than
is generally imagined that the
Communist government is not
making friends, but enemies,
throughout the world.
There are plenty Of things
to do about the deadlock with
the Soviet government besides
a direct appeal to the Soviet
people. But the first step that
has to be taken is to get an
agreed-upon policy by the
Western allies themselves to
press the cold war on every
front. Too many appeasers in
the West have not yet been
convinced that talk at high
levels Is useless. Too many in
the western governments
think there have to be a few
more insults flung by the
Moscow government before
the air will be cleared. What
they don't realize, perhaps. is
that the pollution has in
creased, because the West it
self has been reluctant to use
its own power to send the
fresh air Of freedoms cause
into the Soviet Union. itself.

The Soviet leadership Is

among ambitious politicians
in the United States and.
judging by their all-too-fre-
quent speeches, Of their fears
that bombs would drop IL
meaningless talks are not
continued. 1t is for this rea-
son. a number Of high officials
believe, that American rather
than British or French planes
are the targets of wantoii
attacks by Russian type
MICS such as are used by the
Russians and their associates,
the Chinese Communists and
North Korean Reds.
The COMMUNISTS obvious
ly intend to terrorize Amer
lea into accepting their ver-
sion of a summit parley. It
is an effective psychological
warfare. not only for the
, benefit Of timid souls in this
country but also for allies
who feel strongly that they
will have to surrender If the
United States weakens to
the point Of yielding to the
peremptory demands and
terroristic tactics Of inter-
national communism.
From 1948 when an I'M
armed Navy plane was shot
down over the Baltic until
the latest incident in the
international skies over the
Sea of Japan, this country
has confined itself to send-
ing polite notes to the COM
munists. More drastic steps

sador to the USSR for con-
situations" might have prov

Possibility of Clash Seen Enhancing
Chances of Democratic Governors

1860. The fact that so many.
particularly Democrats. were
resorting to favorite . son
strategems already worries
the ambitious men in WASH
ington. Quite rightly. Sena-
tor Kennedy and others see
in it a design to delay deci-
sion and permit bargains to
be struck at the convention.
A danger. too, from their
point of view Is that politi-
clans being VIGOROUSLY sug-
gestible. many Governors will
begin to take their chances
seriously. however remote
they might seem to a prudent
observer.
An individual Senator, al
ready handicapped by having
to act as a Senate man as
well as a candidate for Pres
ident, is very nearly helpless
to alter the pattern being de-
veloped now by the President,
National Chairman Morton
and Republican congression-
al leaders. He remains only
one Of SO men and even the
gifted majority leader-Sen-
ator Johnson-is subject to
that limitation in areas OUT

Moreover, in fulfilling his
leadership obligations, Sena-
tor johnson will be In much
the same position which
