Khrushchev Exploiting u. S.

circus in New York and sees
no possibility of anything
constructive being achieved
at the present U. N. session.
The French, with their
great experience in dealing
with the African nations,
warned us in time not to roll
out the red carpet for certain
characters such as Sekou
Toure, the boss of Guinea,
and Kwame Nkrumah of
Ghana lest our effusion be
construed as an indication of
weakness. The State Depart
ment had received well in
advance of Toure's visit to
Washington last year posi-
tive information that while
he was a minor French Of
fetal he had been a card
carrying member of the Com
munist' Party. Similar infor-
nation was given us in re-
gard to the Congo's stormy
petrol, Patrice Lumumba, by
very reliable sources.
The French information
was ignored. Not only were
the men received with all
honors due to chiefs of state
but they were also showered
with actual or pledged as
siStance amounting to more
than $l00 million. The ad-
ministration was not going to
accept derogatory informa-
tion from the previous COLO
NAL rulers in Africa. 1t was
going to show the colonialists
how to catch birds by placing
salt on their tails. Today the
two active Communist tools,
backed by the Marxist-lean-
ing Nkrumah, are using
every device given them by
the Kremlin to play Khrush-
chev's game in New York.
Khrushchev is exploiting
what appears even to our
friends as an extraordinary
gullibility on our part in
handling the cold war which
is directed at us more than
on the rest of the free world.

There are many expla-
nations and interpretations
of Nikita Khrushchev's half
clownish and half-serious
attitudes at the United Ma
tions and at his balcony
press conference in New
York.
There seems to be, how
ever, agreement on one
point: Khrushchev has
elected to make a grand
stand play at the present
gathering of the General
Assembly because he feels
that the present administra-
ton in Washington which
has shown anything but
f1rmnesS since John Foster
Dulles died, would react only
mildly to his offensive at
titudes.
Despite the lost ground in
the last two years, the
United States continues to
be regarded as the leader
of the free world. Our mil
itary strength, political
speeches notwithstanding, is
today greater than at any
time since the end of the
war. Our domestic economy
is shaky by comparison with
the past. But 1t still pro-
videS aid to all who ask for
Italics. neutralists and
even potential foes.
If the Kremlin boss can
shake the remaining conf
dence in the ability Of
Washington to continue the
present leadership, he would
have won the greatest battle
of all for himself and in
ternational communism. To
the polite and conciliatory
speech made by President Els
enhower last Thursday at the
U.N., Khrushchev answered
with unprecedented violence.
He did not conf1ne his out
burst to insulting words but
made specific recommended
tions concerning the trans
formation of the international
organization into a tool Of
international communism.
That these are unlikely to
be accepted at present is i'm
material. Khrushchev ap-
piled the old and still cor
rect strategic axiom-be on
the offensive, regardless of
what happens in front, in
rear and at the flanks.
For the time being the
Khrushchev challenge has
been answered by the free
world only passively. The
arrival Of Britain's Prime
Minister Macmillan is not
likely to produce any spec
tacular offensive reaction.
He is not built that way.

Political Aspects of Moon Shot

is that it does allow Mr..
Khrushchev control of the
American presidential cam
paign.
Senator Kennedy's prob
lem is to frame the debate
in terms acceptable to the
voters. They give every sign
Of being sensibly apprehen-
sive of current dangers, but
the sanguine American tenn
perament has always resisted
the pessimiSts. He has got to
make them sweat over the
hard facts, but at the same
time make them feel he can
overcome them.
The required combination
of the job and Mr.. Fix-It
will tax his political skill. 1t
is the topic Of much anxious
discussion among his ad-
visers, some Of whom want
him to trample firmly on
Mr.. Nixon, himself. This does
not flt the image Senator
Kennedy has of the presi-
dency or himself. He has,
however, shown suprem e
realism in his political career
so far and, once convinced,
would not hesitate to shift
ground.
Mr.. Nixon's political agil-
ity is very much greater. He
flies light-heartedly from
the Deep South to a pivotal
State, and he does well in
both, though their elected
spokesmen in Congress are
and must be at loggerheads

Elections Meaning to Individual Voter
Called Deciding Factor in Bollotino

Now that the first Of a
series of so-called great de-
bates between the two rival
candidates for the presidency
can be sized up. what is the
effect upon the relatively
small number of voters who
are undecided?
For, so far as the decided"
voters are concerned, they
have their minds made up to
such an extent that in all
probability what they have
heard thus far confirms their
judgment. This is mostly
because their decision has
already been influenced by
issues or prejudices about
personalities or other factors
in the presidential campaign.
The undecided voter is not
necessarily one who is waiting
to hear the issues expounded
thoroughly before rendering
a profound judgment on
their merits. More often the
undecided voter is entirely
unfamiliar with the back
ground of a candidate or the
issues and just hasn't taken
the time to become informed.
He rarely does until late in
October.
1t has often been argued
that the undecided voters.
while in the minority, do
hold the balance Of power and
can swing an election. But
what is 1t that ultimately
decides them? Is it a liking
for the face of a candidate
or his manner of speaking
or what he says on the stump
that appeals to the individual
voter? All these factors have
their influence, but there is
also the fickle voter-the man
or woman who shifts from
one nominee to the other as
something is said, or, on tele-
vision now, as some grimace
or expression of the face in
answer to a question creates
a doubt or a liking.
In many campaigns the
remark is heard, HE looks
like a President to me-" or
He doesn't look like a Presi-
dent" Younger voters tend
to be impressionistic and
judge by looks. The more
mature voters look at things
a little more carefully and
tend to ask basic questions:
What will the election Of a

RALPH McGILL

Add U. N. Comment: First
let me put down what made
my gorge rise. It was not FL
del, quitting his hotel and
leaving a suite Uttered with
uneaten pieces of chicken and
clean picked bones: with
holes burned in the carpet
and other evidences Of gross
disregard for routine decen-
cies. There was some laugh
ter in this, but no amuse-
ment.
Nor was it the spectacle Of
Nikita KhruShchev paying
his visit to Castro at the lat
ter's hotel in Harlem, where
his agents are seeking to Or
ganize a task force of Puerto
Rican nationalists. There was
neither laughter nor amuse-
ment in the police-siren-led
arrival nor the sight of shirt
sleeved men leaping up and
down screaming: "Fidel, vive
Fidel."
There was one small scene
early in the week which made
me feel cold with an unrea-
soning anger. And this was
the sight of Nikita playing
God.
1t was just before Mr.. K
went to visit Castro. He had
stepped outside the Soviets'
u. N. delegation building.
There was crowd about, in
cluding harassed reporters
and TV commentators. One
of these had a Russian
speaking assistant who asked
questions of the visiting Pre-
mier. He hammed it up, mug
ging, grinning, shaking his
head and throwing of brief
answers.
But suddenly anotPer voice

mean to me? What kind of
times will we have? Will I
keep my job? Will things
cost more? Will my son be
drafted and have to go to
war? Which candidate seems
to have more experience and
will know how to deal with
the RussianS?"
Previous canvaSses of the
electorate tend to show that
most voters have decided on
the answers to such questions
long before the campaign
begins. Post-election surveys
reveal that things which were
often regarded as spectacular
issues during a campaign did
not really amount to very
much in influencing the vot-
ing except perhaps in certain
localities.
Just what causes rs million
voters to make up their minds
to vote for one candidate or
the other? Party aff1hation
and tradition have much to
do with it. New voters to a
small degree follow their
family voting record, but
most of them like to make
up their own minds. Often
they talk in independent
terms during the campaign
but, on entering the voting
booth, they follow the view
point Of their friends-they
are indeed to a large extent
influenced by older voters.
Although october l is
approaching and the final
stretch is likely to be filled
with dramatic exchanges OF
view between the candidates
and their lieutenants in the
battle for votes, the biggest
single issue doesn't seem to
have been focused upon thus
far as sharply as 1t probably
will be in the closing weeks
of the campaign. Funda-
mentally, it is whether this
is the time for a change in
administration.
In a sense this issue has
been touched upon in the
discussions already heard
about experience" and ma
turity of Judgment" but
these are only collateral
points. The big unanswered
question is whether the
American people really want
a change in administration
in Washington in these times.
