UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,

sources said tonight there was
some feeling in the United Ma
tions that the United States
should tell the Security Council
that spy plane flights over 9TH

Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge
that he make such a statement
when the Council meets Mon
day to take up d Soviet COM
plant against the flights.

(AP) West Germany's politi-
cal parties appeared tonight to
be moving toward a bipartisan.
strongly pro-Western foreign
policy in the wake of Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev'S
abusive attack on President Eli
senhower.
The closing Of the ranks was
signaled in a radio address by
Karl Mommer, parliamentary
secretary of the opposition So
cialistS. who have for years
been critical of Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer'S posture of
strength policy.

Mr.. Mommer said there is a
national emergency in West
Germany and I'VE cannot toll
crate the luxury of tearing our
selves apart in internal war
fare"
At the same time, Johann
Gradl. foreign affairs expert OF
Mr.. Adenauer's Christian Dem-
ocratic Union, told a radio aud
ience the nations parties must
quit their squabbling in the
face of a common enemy.
Mr.. KhruShchev's refusal to
negotiate at the summit hit the
Socialists hard. Suddenly they
have found themselves without

stoutly pursued for a decade.

bitterness that marked the
breakup of the Paris Summit
Conference.
When Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev demanded assurances at
the Summit Conference that
spying flights would stop, Pres
ident Eisenhower said they had
been suspended already and
would not be resumed.
Mr.. Lodge was expected to
reiterate Mr.. EisenhoWer's
statement in the Council Mon
day in reply to Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei A. Gromyko.
But whether Mr.. Lodge would
set out that U-2 overflights
were not now Government
policy seemed doubtful.
Even if he should, that would
hardly keep the Russians from
pressing their expected resolu-
ton to have the council con-
dem the flights.
In any case, the Soviet reso-
luton was given no chance of
getting the seven votes neces-
sary for adoption. The guessing
generally was mat it would get
only Polish and Soviet votes
and that the other nine council
members would either oppose it
or abstain.

arguments and charges were
repeated during his Berlin
speech. Though they inevitably
lost something of their punch
with repetition they had not
been noticeably toned down in
the meantime.
On the other hand, the Rus
sian handling Of the new plane
incident seems to reflect a
change in the angry Russian
mood. While admitting that
the plane. on a routine flight
from Copenhagen to Hamburg,
had been forced down in the
vicinity of Grevensmuehlen
near the Baltic coast. a Rus
sian spokesman added no ac-
cusations about the violation
of air space or other unpleas-
ant charges. Nor, as is GUS
tomary in such cases, have the
Russians so far turned the
plane and its nine passengers
over to East German author
tiles and demanded that the
United States deal with them.
Russians Play 1t Cold
In this case the Russians
seem to be playing it cold. II
the incident shows that Com
munist air defenses are un-
usually sensitive to the appear
ance of strange aircraft, there
is nothing to indicate yet that
this incident will be exploited
for propaganda purposes.
Nevertheless there are many
observers here who believe that
much more of the same sort
of thing can be expected in the
future.
Even though further flights
of the U-2 observation planes
have been stopped by presi-
dental order the Russian,
seem extremely anxious tt
prove both the frequency oi

There is even some suspicion
that radar interference coulc
be used to manufacture such
incidents deliberately. 1t seems

Turkish Cadets March
To Protest Menderes

ANKARA, Turkey, May 81
(AP). - Tough young cadets
from the Turkish Army War
College marched through the
streets of Ankara today in sup
port of youth demonstrations
against the government of
Prime Minister Adnan Men
dereS.
The cadets, numbering about
/ 900, spurned a personal ap-
peal from the military COM
mander Of Ankara, 1t. Gen.
Namik Argue, to disperse and
go home.
1t was the first time the
army had become so intimately
involved in Turkeys current
political troubles.

Tear gas was used to dis

cadets after the latter had re-
turned peacefully to theil
campus, however.
Walked in Silence
The cadets, unarmed anC
dressed in light khaki uni
forms, staged most of theil
march in silence.
At intervals they sang the
National Youth March, which
has become an anthem for stu.
dents in Ankara and Istanbu
who oppose the government.
The cadets formed near tht
approaches to Ataturk boule'

Occasionally, women shouted

The cadets, who looked de-
termined rather than excited,
are roughly equivalent to West
Pointers in the United States.
They seem to have placed the
army and police authorities in
a somewhat embarrassing posi-
ton.

a statue of Kemal Ataturk in
Ankara's Victory Square, where
they sang the Turkish National
Anthem and the anthem of the
war college. Ataturk is the
father of the modern Turkish
republic.

Premier Ill at Ease

lowed his audience reaction
closely and at one point broke
into the translation to REIN
force his plea for patience.
"Wait and it may be better
in the end" he said. THE pres

FIiqht From Cuba

Great numbers of industrial tech
nicianS, agricultural experts, teachers,
lawyers, journalists, medical doctors,
ETC., are fleeing from Cuba and asking
asylum in the United States. BY and
large, they are individuals of above
average talent, and their fight to our
country as refugees speaks pretty much
for itself, just as does the flight of
East Germans to West Berlin and other
parts of the free world. Premier Fidel
Castro and his Communist -favoring
dictatorship in Havana are taking
special measures in an effort to stop
this exodus, but the mere fact that it
is occurring is proof enough that the
Cuban revolution" leaves so much to
be desired that the best people of the
country feel impelled to run away from

.oo's Softer Line

Presumably in preparation for next
weeks Moscow celebration Of the 1917
Bolshevik Revolution, the Chinese Com
munists have just published an ideologi-
cal essay whose main purpose seems
to be to give the impression that basic
party-line solidarity exists between
Generalissino Mao Tze-tung and Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev.
For months past, of course, there
have been numerous indications to the
contrary, with some reports even going
so far as to suggest the possibility of
an open break developing between
Peiping and the Kremlin. These reports
all highly speculative-have embroi-
dered on the fact that the Mao regime
appears to have taken issue with Mr..
KhruShchey'S thesis that war between
Red totalitarianism and so-called cap
italism is not inevitable and that peace
full co-exiStence" is entirely possible
as well as desirable.
Thus, off and on for year or more,
the Chinese Reds have given voice to
hard" line quite at variance (at
least on the surface) with Moscow's
seeming tendency to be relatively "soft
on capitalists" This hardness, as ex-
pressed in various official publications,
has taken the form Of vigorous indorse-
ments of revolutionary violence" and
revolutionary war"-even a nuclear
conflict in which as many as 800 million
Chinese might be killed-if such violence
or such war could be counted upon to
advance the cause of communism. BY
way of contrast, Mr.. Khrushchev has
been declaring at the same time that
it is sound Marxist- feminist doctrine
to hold that opposing social systems
can live side by side in peace and that
atomic hydrogen warfare between them
would be mutually suicidal.
The interesting thing is that the
Chinese Communists now have shifted
to a line that comedies with this view.
At any rate, speaking though their chief
theoretical journal, they have declared
that it is absurd to say that world
peace and world revolution are incom-
patible." And they have gone on to
affirm that peaceful co-existence" is
an altogether valid idea and that good
Marxists-Leninists can repose faith (if
it may be called that) in the idea that
Red totalitarianism will score gradual
victory in countries, one by one," with
out resort to armed force.
In the circumstances, after all the
reports about Red Chinas bellicose
defiance of and opposition to MIR. Khru-
shchev's views, 1t would seem that
Generalissimo Mao has staged kind
of theological retreat. Outsiders, how
ever, would be well advised to take a
reserved view of the situation as some
thing that may amount merely to
a Peiping- Moscow act calculated to
befuddle the free world and throw
it off guard.

Mr.. CoudIe's Parole

We. are not privy to the considera-
tions which have led the Federal Parole
Board to release T. Lamar Caudle from
prison after serving less than six months
of a two-year sentence arising from his
handling of tax case as Assistant At
torney General under the Truman adj
miniStration.
Whatever the reasons, however, we
are glad that Mr.. Caudle has been freed.
For while he was fairly tried and con-
victed, he already has suffered penalty
that could hardly be increased by full
filling two-year prison term. His repu-
tation is gone; his life is ruined. e,
This is no attempt to excuse Mr..
Caudle. Those who followed the con-
gressional Investigations of the Justice
Department nine years ago will well
recall the incredible story they dis
closed. In 1945, Mr. Caudle was an OBJ
scure Federal prosecutor in western
North Carolina. Suddenly he was cata-
pulled to position of tremendous power
in the Justice Departments job which
he neither sought nor was qualified to
fill. The question then was how and why
he was selected, and it is question that
has not been answered to this day. AS
Mr.. Caudle once testified, II felt like the
wheel just turned around and stopped
on me-"
It always has seemed to us that his
faults were more those of indiscretion
and naivete than of any criminal intent,
and that the people who appointed him

condemned than MIR. Caudle himself
