declared.
I'VE have accomplished a
wonderful thing. 1t has been
a clean operation and it has
achieved clean results. But
once an order has been es-
tablished. there may be a

Khrushchev Aims at u. S. Voters

President had found it neces-
sary to make such a state
ment on the eve of my arrival.
The President said that
he had not read the Nixon
statement. I told him then
that it need not be read as it
was already a matter of the
past"
Thus Mr.. Khrushchev who
had refrained from drawing
to Mr.. EiSenhower's atten-
ton the U-2 flights over
Russia so as not to interfere
with the warm relations with
Mr.. Eisenhower chose as
soon as he set foot in the
White House to be blunt and
undiplomatic over the rela-
lively mild speech Mr.. Nixon
made before the American
Dental Association.
In the light of these facts
it is obvious that when Mr..
Khrushchev said he did not
want to have any truck with
the Lying" President Eisen-
hover and was willing to wait
until next year for another
summit he had ruled out Mr..
Nixon as the man with whom
he could deal.
There is no doubt in the
minds of Republican political
leaders that Mr.. Khrushchev
will do everything he can to
interfere with Mr.. Nixon's
election. Mr.. KhruShchev is
a realiSt. He knows that his
Sycophants in the United
States can be of little use in
preventing a Nixon victory.
He will try to terrorize the
American people and make
them believe that the elec-
tion of a President who is
not to the liking of the
Kremlin would lead to a
shooting war. Hence the
blusterings from Moscow
which are likely to be coupled
with aggressive acts by the
Chinese in Peiping and the
Far East.

PARIS, June 4 (AP) -Four
African members of the r.

nifty yesterday asked for full
independence but promised to
retain close ties with France.
The four-the Ivory Coast,
Dahomey, Niger and Upper
Volta-probably will remain
within the community.
At the same time, President
de Gaulle told representatives
of the community meeting here
that it will continue though
perhaps in an altered form.
If the community is going
to take a new form, l do not
believe that the spirit or value
of this great institution must
be altered" Gen. de Gaulle
said. I'm principle it is the Or
ganization for cooperation
among our states. 1t will be,
I believe, the same tomorrow. ."
Gen. de Gaulle, who created
the community of semi-auton-
omous states out of what was
formerly the French African
Empire, already has approved
independence for Senegal, Su-
dan and Madagascar. The re-
naming members of the COM
munity - Mauretania, Gabon,
Chad and the Central African
Republic-are expected to fol-
low suit in the near future.
The French Senate has adopt
ed a constitutional amendment
that will permit fully inde-
pendent states to remain in
the community. AS it was
originally set up the semi
autonomous nations in the
community handled internal
affairs, but left communica-
tions, finance, foreign affairs
and defense to the community
led by France. They could

quest.

He was an Old Oriole to

clot in his brain smote him,
Uncle Robbie fell heavily

comfortable as I could on

The passage from his ad-

Republican pros are con-

since, plus the blusterings of
Marshal Malinovsky have one
main purpose: to intimidate
the American people into
believing that only the elec-

to Moscow can keep peace in

Moscow obviously expects
that the pride of Americans
never to allow outsiders to
interfere with the choice of
a President can be stifled by
threats of nuclear war.

do not point to the Moscow
