Washington was a lazy little
town yesterday, the way 1t used
to be.
There were only a few auto
mobiles and few more people.
No one seemed to be in any par
icular rush. The streets seemed
wide again and you could walk
In . straight line down r street
without lodging ladies with
large packages.
It was even pleasant getting
In to see the president of the

He was found a little before
lunch time, quietly sitting be.

He was the only one there.
He was answering the telephone
himself and looking forward to

Rusk Opposes
Early Summit
New Secretary
Fuvors Tradition
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOwER

Associated Press Stan Writer
The new Secretary of State
for the Kennedy administra-
tion, Dean Rusk. is expected to
oppose the rush to q summit
conference advocated by Soviet
Premier Khrushchev and IA
vored by British Prime Minis
ter Macmillan.
Mr.. Rusk's earlier public
statements led to this estimate
as he conferred with Acting
Secretary 10y w. Henderson in
q move designed to ease the
transfer Of foreign policy con-
|trol.
Mr.. Rusk drove up to the
State Department shortly be-
fore noon. He called on Mr..
Henderson, who is Acting Sec
retary Of State in the absence
of Secretary Herter, now in
Europe. Mr.. Henderson also
was described by aides as an
old friend Of Mr.. Rusk.
The call was certain to lead
to a variety Of other contacts
between State Department on
cials Of the outgoing and in
coming regimes, in line with
the pattern Of cooperation in
the transfer of power which has
been laid down by President
elect Kennedy and President
Eisenhower.
There has been speculation
about the future of summit
meetings under the new admin
istration. with Mr.. Rusk az See
retary of State.
The 51-year-old self-made
diplomat favors more tradi.
tional and cautious forms Of
negotiation. His views on the
subject were spelled out earlier
this year in q lecture delivered
at the Council on Foreign Re-
lations in New York.
And he made clear that he
thinks the Presidents personal
diplomacy should be reserved
for very rare and special uses.
Mr.. Rusk was named by Pres
ident-elect Kennedy yesterday
to take over the State Depart
ment and the day-to-day direc-
ton Of United States foreign
policy in the administration
starting January 20.
Senator Kennedy also an
nounced that Representative
Chester Bowles was his choice

"Since I resigned as of Nov. 9

Hillstrand's brief note was the
first indication here that he had
resigned his seat in the lower

Hillstrand, who would have re-
manned member of the House
until January had he not re-
signed, passed up a chance for
reelection to the House this year

Hillstrand was a member of the
House of Representatives during

strand indicated he believed his
defeat by Phillips had impaired
Hillstrand's effectiveness as leg
islator for the balance of his

in such a matter and said he sent
