Nations Seek Eisenhower Visit

Washington by way of Seoul
and Manila-thence to Homo
lulu-after spending only q
few hours in these two capt.
tails.
OF course. other allies,
such as the Chinese Repub-
lie and South Wet Nam, feel
the same way. There may be
political-diplomatic reasons
why Mr.. Eisenhower would
rather forgo a visit to Taipei.
while Saigon is not on the
route. The lame explanation
that the President feels he
must return the state visit
of the Japanese heir to the
throne who is arriving in
Washington sometime in May
is being discounted. President
Rhee paid a state visit to the
United States four years ago
and so has, more recently.
the Philippines President
Garcia. They both have sent
warm personal invitations to
Mr.. Eisenhower.
Unless the President de-
cides to add to his restricted
list a few other countries, it
is feared by some observers
that the good resulting from
his presence in the selected
countries might be offset by
the disappointment in others.

Latin American and some
Far Eastern diplomatic mis-
sions in Washington are la
menting the fact that Presi-
dent Eisenhower has not in
cluded their countries in his
forthcoming good will tour
of South America and Asia.
At present Mr.. Eisenhower
is scheduled to visit only four
South American republics:
Brazil. Argentina. Uruguay
and Chile. The diplomatic
representatives Of sister re-
publics point out that Mr..
Eisenhower, by bypassing
other Latin nations, is irri-
tating not only the govern
ments but also the people,
who are more sensitive now
than in the past about such
Sights"
While it is recognized that
Mr.. Eisenhower cannot visit
every country, it was expected
when the good will tour was
announced that he might in
clude a few of the lesser"
republics. Observers who un-
derstand the explosive condi-
tionS in that region are pain
fully aware that President
Eisenhower's inability to COM
ply with all the invitations he
has received for state visits
will play into the, hands Of
agitators who have been try
ing for the last 18 months to
make our so-called backyard
into Peoples Democracies."
The agitators would like to
expand the Communist doc
trines under the guise OF ma
tionaliSm.
There is not one republic
south of the Rio Grande that
does not have a quota of
Chinese, Russian and native
agitators and subversive
agents harping on hate the
Yankee" slogans. These
agents are encouraged greatly
by the weakness we have
shown to the brutal Dictator
ship of the Castro team in
Cuba. They already are ex-
plotting the argument that
the American capitalists are
interested only in the Big
Four of Latin America and
regard the others as unim-
portant and mere dust"
Diplomats from countries
whose governments are afraid
of the threat of Communist
domination in Latin America
and want to continue their
past close relationship with
the United States are urging
the State Department to re-
wise Mr.. Eisenhower's timer
ary to include stopovers-
even for just a few hours
with the smaller fry in Latin
America. They point out that
during the Presidents recent
trip to the Middle East and
Africa he found time on his
way to India to stop for a few
hours in Afghanistan and
Tunisia. Similar stops in
Panama, Bolivia or Paraguay
might handicap the relentless
drive of communism in South
america.
Many of our close allies
and loyal friends in the Far
East actually are distressed
at the reports that Mr.. Eisen-
hover on his way from the
Soviet Union to America will
make a state visit only in
Japan. Our relations with
the Philippines are at their

great powers to get the
military to testify to facts
disputed by the President,
did not spring to the defense
Of their witnesses. They must
know that in view Of the
Presidents attitude, such men
are putting their careers in
hazard.
Direct reprisal is unneces-
sary and probably won't
happen. But the corridors of
the Pentagon can get mighty
drafty fast when a chill wind
emanates from the White
House.
Nor is it needful that the
characters of the President
and his appointees-the De-
fense Secretaries and mem
berS of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff-be called into question.
But the civilian managers of
the Nations security are
proper targets if the Demo-
Gratis believe. as they say they
do, that the military wit
nesses they put in headlines
are reliable judges of the
situation.

Chill Draft in Pentogon Called Likely

President Eisenhower is
continuing to treat with a
nonchalance that borders on
contempt the military men

the Democratic Congress IS

apparent fear of attacking

The President and 'AIurmist Talk

spread belief that America
might be forced into a pos
ture of second best"-Mr.
Eisenhower says that in GER
tain things the Soviet Union
will continue to be first and
America will be second. He
cited the Olympic Games as
something that the Soviet
Union won, even though it
had to resort to professional
ism in sports and virtually
make the athletes a part of
the government personnel.
Naturally. the Soviets would
win such contests. but. as
the President puts it. What
did we do with that?" Nobody
has lost much sleep over
that defeat.
AS for trips to the moon
and various planets, what is
important is whether any
military knowledge is gained
by such stunts. This is care
fully studied by the United
States, whose experts in
science are constantly at
work on the same problem.
But, as the President ex-
plains it, the United States
isn't going to alter its system
of life and abandon individ-
ual freedoms and enslave
people as they do in Russia,
Just to win first place in
certain contests.
Mr.. Eisenhower comedies
that there are disturbing
headlines arising out of such
things as hitting the moon,"
and that often an interpreta-
ton is given far beyond its
true meaning" He adds:
I've heard people say:
We'll, soon there'll be colonies
on the moon and they'll be
shooting at the earth from
the moon I saw that in one
story. Well. this is long after
you and will be gone. That
I'll assure you"
So the President pointed
out that the things I'VE
should think about and talk
about more in the world are
the values which we do treas
ure."
It's all a matter of propor-
ton and perspective, but the
basic fact is that the Ameri-
can defense system is up to
date and progressing, and
that it has the power to deter
a potential enemy from at
tack by being able to inf1ict
counter-blows of massive re-
taliation.

Conflicting Views on Defense

particular are no ordinary
political struggle, even though
they are in part now a matter
of political judgment in view
of the lead being taken by
the Soviet Union in missiles
and space.
Whether they mean to do
it or not, what Democrats in
essence are doing about de-
fense is to raise The Big
Doubt in the old manner for
which they criticized the late
Senator Mccarthy and Vice
President Nixon. And they are
walking away from it in the
same manner.
The Senate Majority
Leader, Lyndon Johnson, is
doing this-and even to some
degree another but more out
spoken candidate for PreSi-
dent, Senator Symington. If
they and others mean busi-
ness, their quarrel is with
the President, and their obli-
cation toward their witnesses
is a heavy one.
They are much too good
judges of men not to know
that Defense Secretary Gates
is doing what he thinks is
right and that Gen. 1wining,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
who backs up Mr.. Gates, is
neither creative nor imagi-
native. AS politicians, the
Democrats all know where

DAVID LAWRENCE

There is something in
spring about the calm and
dispassionate way that Presi-
dent Eisenhower deals with
the alarmist talk that has
been filling the headlines Of
late about the safety Of the
United States against Soviet
attack.
Mr.. Eisenhower. in his deli
cate position. naturally can
not do any saber-rattling. For
the Soviets would criticize
him as a "warmonger." Yet
he must answer the criticism
at home that comes from
generals. as well as politi-
clans, who think America is
closing the race" or failing to
"catch up" on missiles, trips
to the moon and various
other endeavors in the field
of science and exploration.
The President said at his
press conference yesterday:
ct am always a little bit
amazed about this business of
catching up. What you want
is enough-a thing that is
adequate. A deterrent has
no added power, once it has
become completely adequate,
for compelling the respect Of
any potential opponent for
your deterrent and, there
fore, to make him act pru-
IDENTIFY"
This is but another way
of saying that the United
States has the military power
today to destroy the Soviet
Union and doesn't have to
feel inferior because some
other country may have more
of certain types of weapons.
1t is the adequacy of our
overall power that Mr.. Eli
senhower explicitly reaffirms.
But, it is asked, how is it
that Gen. Power of the Stra-
tegic Air Command can tes-
tify that, with 300 missiles,
the Soviets can destroy our
ability to fight back? The
answer to that is the one
that the general himself
giVeS-the "airborne alert"
This means that the United
States would have in the air
at all times enough manned
bombers to deliver a destruc-
tive blow in retaliation, and
the mere knowledge that this
can happen is enough to

The faith of Americans in
themselves and their way OF
life should be strong enough to
quell any feeling of defeatiSm
over running second best to
Russia in some areas.
That was the theme of q
little sermon preached by Pres
ident Eisenhower at his news
conference yesterday.
His answer to reports OF
alarm over this country's lag
behind Russia in missile and
space activities was: "Our peo-
pie ought to have greater faith
in their own system"
Mr.. Eisenhower spurned any
idea Of trying to catch up"
with the Russians in all things.
What you want Is enough, a
thing that is adequate" he
said. And he insisted that our
defenses are adequate and our
missile record gratifying.
How DictatOrships Act
Let's face the fact that a
dictatorship like that in the
Soviet Union can perform "for
awhile" more efficiently than
a democracy in some specific
fleld-be it winning an olympic
contest or shooting a rocket
to the moon, the President ad-
vised in effect.
Remember how people talked
about Mussolini making the
trains run on time? And "look
how we were over-awed, al
most, by Hitler's early years"
But here. he went on, we
have something that CON-
munism and other dictator
ships don't have.

RALPH McGILL

Senator Kennedy's early
decision to state with all nee
esSary emphasis that he
would not accept the vice
presidential nomination is
daily revealed as wise in the
best strategic tradition. He
now is the developing favorite
to win the nomination.
The Senator plowed no
new ground in strategy in
this firm disavowal of the
second place on the Demo-
cratic ticket. One of the ear
liest to use it was a Repub-
lican, then little-known Abra-
ham Lincoln. In the year
1859 the tall, patient man
from Springfield, H., had
prepared the party to give
him consideration. He made
% political speeches in that
year, all in the West. He
was still, however, not well
known in the East. And this
was where most of the dele
gates were. William Seward
already had attempted to
dismiss him with ridicule,
contemptuously referring to
him as that prairie states
man."
In January, 1860, lawyer
friends of his went from ILL
noiS to Washington to argue
cases before the Supreme
Court. They met earlier with
Lincoln to obtain his permis-
sion there to discuss plans
for winning him the nomina-
ton. Jackson Grimshaw,
friend and attorney from
Quincy, asked Lincoln if his
friends might, on finding the
presidential nomination un-
obtainable, urge him for the
vice presidency.
Lincoln's reply was an en-
phatic refusal.
He had, as was his custom,
made up his mind. He had
