it will be recalled that the
Egyptian dictator has been
getting vast sums of money
from Moscow for the Aswan
Dam, and he must show some
sense of reciprocity. A visit
to the U.N. to please Mr..
Khrushchev is a cheap price
to pay.
This. however. is hardly
the "neutralism" which so
many of the newborn coun-
tries now claim to be their
policy. About all it proves
is that the movement against
"colonialism" was largely ex-
plotted by the Communists
as a means of substituting
their own brand of coloni-
alism in the Middle East and
Southeast Asia and now in
Africa.
The attitude of the Ameri-
can people is Enthusiastically
clear. If they had their way,
they would prefer that the
newspapers did not print a
line about Mr.. Khrushchev's
visit or give space to his
speeches. But the press. on
the other hand, has learned
from experience that sup
preston plays the game OF
the criminal and that ex-
posure of the guilty is the
best policy at all times.
Certainly, in the propagan-
da battle, American officials
are not to be passive. There
are plenty of charges that
can be aired during the
Khrushchev visit to the U.N.
For one thing, his regime can
be charged formally with
treason against the U.N.
during the last few weeks in
the Congo. Likewise, Amerl-
can speakers can demand
that true independence be
given to the countries now
behind the Iron Curtain. For
of what avail is it that Mr.
Khrushchev should be cry
ing out for independence tor
the black men of Africa
when millions of white men
yellow men and brown men
in Europe and Asia are being
held under the yoke of COM
muniSm?
There is lots to be said to
Nikita Khrushchev during
his coming visit. and it is to
be hoped that the American
government will make some
interesting news that will de-
fate his propaganda cam
paign.

Kennedy's Keen Edge Lost

But somehow, Mr.. Nixon
gives, the impression of being
much older. Certainly, this
contrast is a very real force.
The great debates are
ahead. 1t is quite possible
they will determine the cleo
ton in that those who are
undecided will likely reach a
conclusion by the time the
two have finished their teie-
vision dialogues.
AS of now, the Nixon cam
paign seems to have a bit
of an edge, but none in his
Office are in any sense over
confident. They know very
well the hard facts of life.
In II large industrial
States, including New York
and California, there is ire
mendous Democratic strength
in labor and Catholic groups.
The latter, which shifted to
the Republicans in 1852 and
1856, will be swung back to
the Democrats if the religious
issue backfires, as it well
may. Those who push the
more extreme and prepoSter-
Gus prejudices may well be
those who help Kennedy
most. And such, surely, is
not their intent.
Victory in those II States
would require picking up the
merest handful of electoral
votes in other areas to win
the election.
And it is too early to make
confident predictions. tt {

vet faded. Desks are hardly
cleared from their summer
accumulation of work. The

DAVID LAWRENCE

What to do about Nikita
Khrushchev's visit to New
York is getting to be bigger
question mark for the mo-
ment than who is going to
win the presidential election
in November.
Two opposite views are pre-
valent. Harry Truman, Tor
instance, expresses the opin-
ion that Mr.. Khrushchev
should be ignored by the press
because he has insulted our,
President, while Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt says it's
SILLY" to restrict his move
ments to Manhattan Island
as the Department of State
has ordered.
It will be noted that Mrs.
Roosevelt spoke her mind
while visiting in Lon d o n,
where several British news
papers have been sharply
critical of the American gov
ernment's decision. T h e
trouble, of course, is that the
British suffer from a historic
affinity for politeness to die
tators, and unwittingly they
build up the ego of such men.
Had they gotten tougher with
Hitler in the 1930s, instead
of playing up to him at sum-
nit" conferences at Munich,
there might not have been a
Second World War.
The issue between those
who would embrace Mr..
Khrushchev, or at least treat
him Just as If he were a sane
and civilized diplomat, and
those who would snub him
spectacularly is not one that
is going to be settled by
public opinion. If the Amer
lean people had their way,
they would prefer to have
the Soviet dictator ship
wrecked on a desert island
without vodka-during his
voyage across the Atlantic this
week. But the game which he
is planning to play at the
United Nations meeting is one
that has to be countered
skillfully by the American
government. The Soviet die
tator's speeches undoubtedly
will add to the insults he
flung at this country during
the Paris Summit" confer
ence last May. There will
have to be forceful responses
this time from the American
representatives.

Even Texas, the State so

giving the Kennedy-J johnson

warm embrace. Many Tex

refusal, accepted d second

Texas voters who will cast a

u. S. Leaders Bear Task of Answering
Dictator on What He Says and Does

AS for the restrictions
placed on Mr.. Khrushchev's
movements, this step was
taken for two reasons. First.
the problem of affording pro-
lection to the Soviet dictator
and his party might get be-
yond control as passions rise.
Second, the American Gov
ernment did not invite the
Soviet dictator to tour the
United States. 1t will be re-
called that he himself with
drew an invitation previous
ly extended to President
Eisenhower to visit Russia.
One reason given for the
cancellation was that the
political climate in Russia
had altered and that the
people there we're in an
antagonistic mood toward
the United States. So it
works both ways.
If the Soviet dictator
thinks that. because the
Eisenhower administration is
winding up its term, the
people here no longer care
how many insults are flung
at their President, he can be
adequately informed of his
mistake only by demonstra-
tions of displeasure at his
coming, such as he will
doubtless encounter next
week. Certainly, the Hun
garian refugees in the United
States are not happy to see
the Communist puppet who
heads the Hungarian govern
ment coming here arm-in-
arm with the Soviet dictator
The combination awakens
bitter memories of the blood
shed Of their Hungarian
kinsmen - the brutality OF
tanks riding roughshod over
the bodies of men, women
and children in Budapest in
1856.
Mr.. Khrushchev evidently
thought that a mobilization

officials of the Communist
bloc, including foreign min
listers and premiers under hi;
thumb, would impress the
American people. One is sur

Campaign Notes: Repub-
licans, who are running a
scared race, nonetheless note
with satisfaction signs OF
nervousness in the Kennedy
organization. That this fac
tor exists and is noticeable
to others is not surprising.
The keen edge which Sena-
tor Kennedy had when he
swept the primaries and ar
rived at Los Angeles with all
the eggs in his basket is not
presently in evidence.
In that hard-hitting period
there was one theme and one
mood. Now there isn't. In
his speeches the Democratic
nominee is using a scatter
gun technique, hitting out at
three or four targets. This
tends to. blur them all. Even
friendly observers see that he
is more nervous, that his
hands are more in move
ment, and that he is weary.
There are various reasons
for this.
One. of course, is the con-
gresSional session. Senator
Kennedy gave it all he had
and failed. His friends say 1t
was not so much his failure
as that of the party. It was
Southern Democrats who dis
