Not even the shrillest critics
Of the famous incident Of the

argue that, plane incident or

shchev would ever have
allowed the summit confer

that time was running with
him-and up to this point,
indeed, so it was.

Khrushchey's Downfall Near

sively its own grievances or
those Of the West on the
subject Of Soviet "acts Of
aggression"
What is back Of the
KhruShchev spectacular?
The Soviet Premier doubtless
discovered that he couldn't
get anywhere on the West
Berlin issue. He had to ex-
tricate himself from the
negotiating table, since it
might reveal him as check
mated and defeated. So. in
order to get a free hand to
do as he wished. Mr.. Khru-
shchev seized on the plane in
cident and decided to torpedo
the summit conference, from
whose sessions he could not
expect anything but negative
decisions so far as West
Berlin is concerned.
Thus, the Soviet Premier
is back where he started. He
now threatens to sign a
treaty with East Germany
after a few months. Nobody
would worry over the mere
appending Of a signature to
a meaningless document, but
If, as a follow-up. any mill
tary force were used to COM
pei the Allied governments
troops to leave West Berlin,
this would mean war. And
Nikita Khrushchev wouldn't
last long If he involved his
own country in war,
The handwriting is on the
wall - Nikita Khrushchev is
through. He has lost what
ever respect various elements
in the West had for him.
James Hagerty, presidential
press secretary, is quoted in
a Reuters dispatch from Lis
bon as saying Mr.. Eisenhower
is completely disgusted and
fed up with the tactics and
antics" Of Mr.. Khrushchev.
The argument the Soviet
Premier tried to make that
America has to pick another
President, suitable to him,
before there can be another
summit conference now will
be turned around. The whole
world would welcome as the
head of the Soviet govern
ment somebody who knows
the simple rules Of good
manners and common sense.
For bluSter and bluff, epithets
and insults will not solve the

charge there was incredible
bungling in the handling Of
the U-2 case. 1t is generally
believed Mr.. KhruShchev
went to Paris determined to
be very tough. He has a num-
ber of factors troubling him
at home. The army and party
feel they cannot allow West
Berlin to remain as it is.
Some 100000 officers and a
million men have been demo-
bilized and they have not
been fitted into civilian life.
The U-2 was for him an un-
believable bit of luck. He could
use it to fog the Americans.
But we continued to help.
Senators point out that in
the beginning Mr.. Khru-
shchev himself suggested
President Eisenhower knew
nothing of it. 1t was, he said,
the wicked Pentagon. But the
President did know. And ad-
mitted it. He also said our
original denial was false. He
said, or seemed to say, the
flights would continue. And
then after the Vice President
had supported him, denied
it. George Allen, head of the
U. S. Information Agency,
wasn't even told of it.
There is bipartisan loyalty
for the President. They ad-
mire him for keeping his
temper. But, privately, they
say he bungled badly and
damaged the nations credi-
bility.

End of False Ideal in Meeting Reds
Viewed as Beneficial in Iona Run

keeping our powder dry we
turned to trusting Mr.. Khru-
shchev far too much while
we let our arsenal run rather
low.
Those who tried to ques-
ton this new policy found
the going hard and lonely.
They were held to be at best
stupidity insensitive; at worst
to be the stooges of Wall
Street and the munitions
makers. And don't look for
partisan Scapegoats now;
there are plenty and to spare
in both parties.
Today, both parties and
their leaders fully accept at
last the facts of life-and
this alone is an immense gain
from the tragedy Of the
summit: Genuine settlements
with the Soviet Union will
be made if and when the
West is on a rising and not
a declining arc of power rela-
tive to that of the Soviet
Union. Kleig-lit top-level
diplomacy is an unrealistic
device. There is no short and
easy road to survival in this
sixth decade of the goth CEN
tury.
So, the country can now
confidently expect these
things: A concerted and full
effort to improve our de-
fense capacities, here and all
over the world. A really quite
decent attitude among the
major politicians in both
parties to get the country
into shape before seeking
partisan gain out of our
troubles. A willingness to at
tempt new negotiations with

A new maturity, a fresh
sense Of strong purpose, runs
through Washington today in
the afterlight Of the newt
able collapse of summitry as
a means of reconciling the
irreconcilable.
So dies the dream-a two
year dream that somehow by
good will" and by splendid
presidential travels here and
there about the earth all
could be put Alright between
imperialist communism and
the free Western alliance.
It was a noble ideal. And
in that sense it is a pity that
it is now a broken ideal. But
in a more important sense it
is a good thing that the
vision has vanished. For,
however fine, it was always
only a cloudy dream-and a
quite irrational one which
unduly lifted mems hopes
and rejected the central les
son Of this country.
This lesson is and has been
that free peoples cannot ne
gotiate with the totalitarians
no more with Mr.. Khru-
shchev in the Sixties than
with Hitler in the Thirties-
unless they negotiate, not
from hope and good inten-
tions, but from honestly naked
power.

DORIS FLEESON

The chief value Of Thomas
@. Corcoran's appearance
before the Harris subcom-
mittee is its brilliant illumi-
nation Of the way. in which
Federal regulatory agencies
are determining the prices
consumers must pay for es-
sential goods and services.
To save himself, Mr.. Cor
coran, a brilliant technician
with a rare background in
government, is having to ex-
plain and justify the system
under which he and his nat
ural gas clients have become
rich. While the consumer
plays no discernible role in
it beyond that Of final bill
payer, he can at least be
grateful that his nullity has
rarely been more clearly
exposed.
What Mr.. Corcoran is de-
scribing in essence is a kind
of gray area between what
is allowed by law and en-
couraged by present custom.
He argued that his many
off-the-record contacts with
the Federal Power Commis-
sioners were made in broad
daylight and constituted only
a lawyers duty to take care
of his client up to the limits
of the law on the books at
the time" What he expects
Of the commissioners was
revealed in his description Of
a talk with William r. Con-
mole, the commissioner whom
President Eisenhower refused
to reappoint.

dwelling Price-Setting Procedure

Robert w. Lishman of the
Harris subcommittee, is the
result Of negotiation, not reg
ulation. In short, what has
happened is that the Gov
ernment has ceased to try
to regulate but only to ne
gotiate treaties between the
Government and such in
dustries.
Such lawyer-lobbyists as
Mr.. Corcoran are private am
bassadors for the industry
and the Eisenhower-appoint-
ed commissioners are ambas-
sadors from the White House.
What they agree is in the
realm of the possible is then
done.
But one hurdle still re-
mains-the Supreme Court
which continues to direct FPC
to regulate natural gas prices.
The Federal courts also have
had something to say about
ex parte contacts by lawyers
with agency heads, a privilege
which Mr.. Corcoran contends
is upheld by a statute called
the Administrative Proce-
dures act.
In a case involving such
contacts by a television sta
ton operator with Federal
Communications commission
ers, the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals last year
held that private approaches
to FEC members had vitiated
its action and the entire pro-
ceeding must be re-opened.
Thus it appears that what
results Mr.. Corcoran may
have achieved through FPC
contacts, whether or not they
are illegal, have still to run
the gantlet of the Federal
courts and may not stand.

of mourning for the death Of

summit. A judge released
him. Mr.. Mlot-Mroz was a
long time occupant Of a con-
centration camp.
When told that Premier
Khrushchev and President
Eisenhower had exchanged
angry accusations and the
conference had not so much
collapsed as it had failed
even to meet, he rubbed his
hands and smiled.
Good, good" he said.
"They get angry. Good. Soon
they fight. Better now. Not
later"
Mr.. Mlot-Mroz's sentiment
was not general. Not many
persons want war. But it
can be said that beneath all
the anger and resentment
which boilS up because of
Mr.. Khrushchev's arrogance
this is a sober city and a
worried one. Everyone knows
that while war is unlikely, it
could come. And there is q
nagging worry, that as usual,
we are not ready. This may
be the beginning of the third
world war, even though it
takes years to come, and

Regulation of Gas Industry Rates
Called Now Matter of Negotiation

Mr.. Connole said, II don't
want to talk to you about
the merits of the case" To
this Mr.. Corcoran said he
replied: 81 don't have much
time to talk to you, anyway"
Such arrogance has been
possible because administra-
ton policy has been that
regulatory commissioners
must be in harmony with the
interests they regulate. The
case of Mr.. Connole, only
commissioner to oppose sew
eral gas price rises, indicates
they will get fired If, they
are not.
In such case, all that re-
mains for the industry is to
take care of the other side
of the street. In Mr.. Cor
coran they have one OF
Franklin RooSevelt's brain
trusters who helped write
the laws establishing the
regulatory agencies. He has
maintained his New Deal
contacts with Speaker Ray
burn and Senate Majority
Leader Johnson who as Tex
ans sympathize with the gen.
eral aims of the oil and gas
industry. Sources friendly to
Senator johnson have point
ed to Mr.. Corcoran as a
major architect of the Tex
ans bid for the presidency.
The expensive fact is that
natural gas prices have risen
40 per cent since 1851, three
times as fast as the general
cost Of living. 1t has become

clared:
Would it not be good to
take the American aggres-
sors by the scruff of the neck
and make them understand
they must not commit such
acts of aggression?"
But what happened when
the United Nations, by formal
resolution, declared Commu-
mist China an "aggressor"
in Korea? The Soviet govern
understanding to a public
statement by Andrei Vishin-
ski at a United Nations
meeting - admitted sending
arms and munitions to the
Red chinese. These were used
against u. N. troops engaged
in military operations to re-
pei aggression. Certainly this
was an act of treachery to
the United Nations.
Mr.. Khrushchev, indeed,
will regret that he brought
up the subject of "aggres-
sion." He has awakened
some vivid memories of ag-
gressions committed by the
Soviets. For the pages Of
