The United States held firmly
today to its plan to confine
Nikita KhruShchev to Man
haitian Island during his United
Nations visit despite expecta-
tions that the Soviet Premier
would seek to exploit the issue.
In a new move today the Rus
slams, already rebuffed by the
United States State Depart
ment, carried the issue directly
to U. N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold, saying they ex-
pected him to act to get the
travel ban lifted. Mr.. Hammar-
skiold did not reply immedi-
ately.
Mr.. Khrushchev is heading
the Russian delegation to the
U. N. General Assembly meet
ing starting next Tuesday. Both
the White House and the State
Department said yesterday his
movements are being restricted
only to assure his safety.
In cool but correct terms, a
United States note speedily re-
jected last night a formal Rus
sian protest that the September
9 United States order restrict
ing Mr.. Khrushchev to Man
haitian was an unfriendly act,
unlawful and aimed at hinder
ing the work of the Soviet dele
cation.
Safety Is Stressed
Soviet Ambassador Mikhail
MenshikoV delivered the Rus
sian protest yesterday. The
State Department reply was
delivered by messenger to. the
Soviet Embassy last night.
The United States note told
Mr.. Khrushchev that under the
U. N. headquarters agreement
between the United Nations and
the United States, the American
Government is responsible for
his safety and for assuring his
unimpeded access to U. N.
headquarters which are on East
Side Manhattan.
Precisely in strict fulfill
ment" of this obligation, the
note said, the United States
Government has had to re.
quire that Premier Khushchev
reside in closest convenient
proximity" to U. N. head
quarters and limit his moves
to Manhattan.
The American order in nc
way interferes with "the nor

never entirely achieves either.

Gene could refuse the cam

impossible physical feats led
to his downfall, to q Grip

There is another boy in the
story. too, a timid, bookish
one who suddenly volun-
teered for the ski troops and
promptly cracked up.
This reaching back into
an adolescent memory of
dramatic events surely is not
a bad theme for what must
be, at least in part. an auto
biographical novel. But Mr..
Knowles manages to make it
dull, probably because he has
written the story in a held
back, oblique and consciously
literary way, squeezing out
most of the suspense. Even
though It's a short book, 1t
seems long. &c. B. ].

Presidents
Ghosts Are

By CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Writer


THE INVISIBLE PRESI-
DENCY. BY Louis w.
Koenig. (Rinehart & Co.;
$685.
When President Eisenhower,
at the height Of the Bernard
Goldfine scandal said of
Sherman Adams, II need
him." he was expressing q
feeling common to others in
the White House who have
had favorites on whom they
leaned heavily. In The In
visible Presidency" DR.. Koe-
mig, associate professor Of
government at New York
University, has undertaken
to appraise the role of the
spectral figures who toll in
fluentially in the shadows
around the presidency" The
result is a first rate historical
study enlivened by the au-
thor's sparkling style and
numerous anecdotes, many of
them gathered first hand.
Seven Presidents
While ranging widely
among the many who have
been close to Presidents, DR..
Koenig centered his study on
seven Of them, the last Of
which, and the most power
full, was Sherman Adams.
Others that are studied are
Harry Hopkins and Thomas
G. (Tommy the Cork Cor
coran of Franklin D. Roose-
velt's administrations; Col.
Edward M. House Of the Will
son period; the almost for
gotten William Loeb, jr., who
was Th eodore Roosevelt's
man Friday, and Martin Van
Buren, and Alexander Hamil-
ton of the Republics earlier
days.
The reader, most likely,
will find the appraisal of Mr..
Adams, the Vermont sphinx,
the most absorbing because
of the recentness of his tenure
and the circumstances sur
rounding his departure from
the White House. Mr.. Adams,
says DR.. Koenig, will become
one Of "the misconstrued
figures Of history" if he is
remembered only for the
Goldf1ne affair and as "the
perfect synonym in the ma
tional culture of vicuna, a
free nights lodging and bor-
rowed rugs"
Had Most Power
For the better part Of two
terms he exercised more
power than any other presi-
Dental assistant, made deci-
sions that Presidents in the
past reserved. for themselves
and had an impact on his
tory not exceeded by a num-
Der of Presidents. He was,
the author observes, "the in
strument by which Dwight D.
Eisenhower accomplished one
of the most thoroughgoing
Withdrawals from the duties
of the presidency in the his
tory of the Office"
Over all, DR.. Adams fares
well at DR.. Koenig's hands.
He gave direction to the ad-
ministration and got things
done. He made mistakes, as
in the Dixon-Yates and Geld
fine cases. How many more, II
any, he made in more vital
matter Of defense and edu-
cation, no one can say for,
as the author points out,
many of his decisions have
gone unreviewed.

-HE CASE FOR THE
SOUTH. by William D.

Mr.. Workman. a South
Carolina journalist. defends
vigorously and capably the
South's stand against inte-
grafton in the schools.
To whatever extent you
may agree with Mr.. Work.
mans premises and conclu-
SionS, he makes his arguments
cogently. Surely he deserves
a hearing.
Lest Southerners be termed
''lawless," as they already
have been by integrationists
and conformistS, he contends,
this point should be under
stood: The people of the
South are observing the laws
of their States and localities
laws properly, legally and
representatively enacted by
the people themselves. The
clash is not between the peo-
pie and the law, but between
the opposing sets of laws:
Those Of the central Govern
ment and those of the local
government"
Clash of Sovereignty
Here, he points out, "is a
clash Of sovereignty, not a
breakdown of law. The sub
missioniSts cry out that the
Southern States are defy
ing the Supreme Court and
the law of the land Yet
even If it be admitted that
there is defiance of the Su-
preme Court, it does not
necessarily follow that the
law Of the land is being
fouted.
I'm the first place, nowhere
where is it declared that the
Supreme Court, or the Fed
eral judiciary, shall have
dominion over the other two
parts Of government. The
law of the land need not be
always what the Supreme
Court wills it to be at any
given moment of sociological
progress"
Who Has Final Voice
And he cites the Constitu-
tion in support Of his argu-
ment. He adds:
IF the Supreme Court,
then, is not the final voice in
such disputes, who does have
that voice? The answer is
that the States themselves
are the final determinant-
not individually through Sc
cession, which was tried and
found wanting Gin military
strength, but collectively
through the process of con-
stitutional amendment"
Mr.. Workman does not like
extremists on either side and
he processes to represent
"the man in the middle"
whose voice needs to be
heard, for too long has his
quiet but determined resist
ance to tyranny from either
side been unheralded and un-
explained"
The author contends that
"ThoSe who call the South
