dollar-but Secretary Anderson
feels strongly that devaluatior
would weaken the free worlc
economy.
Rising prices are another
cause for any loss Of confidence
In the dollars soundness, since
they in effect decrease the
dollars value.
Anderson Quoted
Secretary Anderson repeat
edly has warned against easy
money" budget deficits and
other inflationary Government
policies. AS recent as last Mon
day, in q speech to q Repub-
lican rally in Fort Worth, Tex,
he said failure to pursue "pru-
dent" policies would destroy
confidence in the dollar and
cause q loss Of gold.
He charged that the Demo
cratic platform-with its call
for Increased Government
spending and lower interest
rates-would be inflationary
and thus would shake conf
dence in the dollar.
Beyond specific concern about
the dollar and imitation, gold
speculation was attributed by
experts here to general nervous
ness about the world situation
When some people get nervous
they tend to fall back on the
unimpeachable standard oi
value, gold.
Another factor In the situa.
ton, according to reports from
abroad, Is the Swiss policy oi
diScouraging deposits Of cur
rency by charging q / per cent
commission. Swiss bankers re.
portedly advised foreign clients
to avoid this charge by con-
verting their dollars to gold.
Price Fixed Since 1884
The price of gold in the
United States was fixed by Law
at $35 an ounce in 1884. Chang
ing the price would require con-
gresSional action.
Representative Patm q n
Democrat Of Texas, suggested
yesterday that instability in thu
world gold market could result
in a special session Of Con
gress, the Associated Press re-
ported from TexarkaEla. Mr.
Patman, who is known as ad'
vocate Of easier money, did no
make it clear whether he favor,

American manufacturer was
following the lead Of Paris
and turning out sacks by the
carload. But this was too
much for me. Why make a
woman look like an old bag,
just to get on the fashion
band wagon?"
Rage Is Widespread
The rage for French labels
is more widespread now than
ever before, says Mr.. Cassini.
And If American designers
don't take a firm stand, he
says, many of them are going
to find themselves out of busi-
ness.
The public can help, too,"
he observes. And of course,
now that French clothes are
becoming so common and
so inexpensive all over this
country, they'll soon lose
their value as status symbols.
That's when women will rush
back to American designers
but it may be too late"

why? What's so great about

"The flood of French

Mr.. CaSSini announces he
is tired of the American Gus

fashion silhouette introduced
in Paris. Says he:

"All over the country stores

are French ready mades.
Within a month of the Paris
openings you'll see copies
selling for as low as $14.95.
Real Nerve
Some stores even have the
nerve to ask well-known
American designers, like me,
to make French copies. That's
the ultimate insult"
Mr.. Cassini points out that
American stores now can buy
French ready-made clothes
at much less than they would
cost here, even including i'm
port duties. And the glamour
of a French label continues
to dazzle the American pub

Purpose Seen to Keep the Russians
From Restiveness Over Hordships

What is the real reason for
Nikita Khrushchev's reckless
tactics at the United Nations?
The conclusion is slowly
crystalizing that the Soviet
Premier has his mind pri-
marily on the revolt that he
is anxious to keep from break
ing out some day inside the
Soviet Union. His strategy is
directed toward internal
rather than external prob
lens.
Mr.. Khrushchev doubtless
feels that he doesn't have to
worry about what the rest Of
the world says or thinks.
Nothing is printed or broad
cast anyhow in his own coun-
try without his permission.
The Soviet Premier, there
fore, needs crisis after crisis
to keep the minds Of his peo-
pie from becoming too restive
over the hardships suffered as
the conditions of living inside
the Soviet Union fail to rise
to meet the standards of the
rest Of the world. The alibi
given to the Russian people is
that more and more money is
needed for ornaments.
An examination of recent
history reveals that if there
isn't a crisis going on to JUS
tify his policies, the Soviet
Premier has to create one.
First, it was West Berlin, and
then, when the Allies stood
firm, this war scare died down.
While the U-2 incident was
made to order for Khru-
shchev's purposes, other U-2
flights in the previous four
years could have readily been
exploited. but the Soviet Pre-
mier was too much absorbed
in playing the role of peace
maker for the world" at
summit" conferences.
Shooting down the U-2
gave him a chance for a
quick turnabout in tactics.
KhruShchev could then pose
as a defender of Soviet SOW
ereignty. He could rant and
rave about the hostility of
America and get more and
more of the Soviet popula-
ton, intellectuals particu-
larly. to believe that he was
engaged in a heroic battle to
protect them against the
"warmongering" West.

tualS in this country. the

with a greater detachment
than has been the case in the
recent past. Inertia and senti-
mentality will both be among
the casualties November 8.
Even Secretary of State
Herter, experienced and re-
sponsible, was infected by the
New York miasma. He has
had to back down from his
too-acid association of
Ghana'S Nkrumah with the
Soviet bloc. He has had to
drop his curbstone impulse to
lead a defense of Secretary
General Hammarskjold in the
name of the United States.
Herter is tired and over
wrought. but it was not diff
cult to make him see that it
is the office of Secretary Gen.
eral which needs protection
by patient diplomacy. In pol
itics nearly any official can
become too hot to handle by
a sufficiently spirited aggres-
sion against him personally:
it is the powers of his Office
which must be maintained.
Mayor Wagner fell an easy
victim to Manhattan mad
ness when he blew up into a
cause celebre an injudicious
remark by his capable police
commissioner about the Jew
ish policemen who wanted re-
lief from emergency duty to
observe the Jewish religious
holidays. Leading Jews res
cued the Mayor from that
one.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Behind Khrushchev's Tactics

there must be unity inside the
West. Such naive tactics as
some of the critics here and
abroad display must be aban-
doned.
1t is. for instance, right up
the Soviet alley for some
Americans of prominence to
say it was SILLY" to limit
Khrushchev's movements to
Manhattan. 1t was the very
thing to do to a man who
limits the movements of
American high officials in the
Soviet Union. 1t was a hui
initiating blow for Khru-
shchev. Its true meaning will
sooner or later reach the
Soviet people and tend to
def1ate his position as an
alleged leader of world opin-
ion.
The United States and it's
allies must also start ener-
getically to use the publicity
weapon effectively. For
though radio broadcaSts are
jammed by the Russians,
there should be more
speeches made by our own
officials telling the world
that Khrushchev is afraid to
let his own people know what
other peoples are saying or
thinking. Word-of mouth
communication is still more
penetrating than any me-
chanical m cans. Ideas
beamed to Eastern Europe
by radio are carried over the
borders by travellers and
tourists, and will eventually
make a sham Of Khrushchev's
effort to pose as a heroic
worker for peace.
The West could, for in
stance, reopen the whole issue
Of "colonialism" in Hungary
and the satellite states. Why.
moreover, wasn't the Soviet
leader formally accused of
treason against the United
Nations when Communist
arms and planes were sent
into the Congo to thwart the
U. N. military effort there?
The sooner the fight is
turned on the Russian dicta-
tor himself. the sooner will
the people behind the Iron
Curtain wake up to the fact
that an irresponsible boor is
leading them to the brink of
a disaster which would de-
stroy millions of innocent
men, women and children on
both sides. War through
miscalculation," as President
Eisenhower said, is still the
graveSt danger in the world.
