Shortly afterward, the Kasa-

Travellers:
Busy Days

Israeli Premier David Ben
Gurion arrived last Tuesday on
an unofficial visit to the United
States. Yesterday Chancellor
Adenauer Of the German Fed
eral Republic arrived in New
York. On Tuesday Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev flies to
Paris for a twO-week tour of
France.
Summit diplomacy, if the travels
OF chiefs-of-state and chief execu-
tives are reliable indication, has
displaced the old conventional
procedures in international affairs.
The jet age has made a trip half
way around the world almost as
simple as bus ride to the suburbs.
Last week, despite the formal
protests OF ambassadors of 10
Arab states, the Prime Minister of
Israel flew to America. The visit
was called unofficial" but after
accepting an honorary degree from
BrandeiS University in Waltham,
Mass, on Wednesday, Mr.. Ben
Gurion came to Washington for a
tWo-hour private conference with
President Eisenhower.
On Friday he told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee that
the United Arab Republic could
assure peace and prosperity in the
Middle East "if Egypt would be
satisfied to live in peace with it's
neighbors-not only its Jewish
neighbors but its Arab neighbors
as we'll :" Such a course. he
said, would encourage Western
nations to help in developing the
Middle East.

Frances Welcome

When Mr.. Khrushchev's sleek
jet lands at Orly Airport on Tues
day, he will receive a rousing
reception. Frances Communist
Party musters some five million
votes at election time, and al
though there are not nearly that
many Communist members, the
party is the largest in France.
The government of President
Charles de Gaulle has taken elab-
crate precautions to assure Mr..
Khrushchev'S security. A large
number of refugees and emigres
from Eastern European countries
have been politely escorted to
pleasant vacation resorts on the
island Of Corsica and other spots
conveniently distant from conti-
mental France. Special security
police are keeping a close watch
on all possible sources of demon
strations or violence. The Khru-
shchev itinerary has not been pub
lished, although the general out
lines of an eight-day tour have
been disclosed. (See story of
Frances preparation on this page.)
Gen. de Gaulle will welcome Mr..
Khrushchev gratif1ed that France
has Joined the "nuclear club"
thus securing a stronger hand in
the bargaining sessions to come.
After the Soviet visitor goes back
to Moscow, Gen. de Gaulle plans
trip to the United States and pre-
summit talks with American off,
cials.

CRISIS IN WESTERN ALLIANCE
What Adenauer Has in Mind

feeds inter-allied suspicious. 1t
seems, on the surface, to confirm
fears that Germany, allowed to
begin rearming, is now determined
to continue, whatever happens.
This in turn suggests that Bonn
is Tending off an East-West
detente because rearmament can
best be carried forward in an at
moSphere of cold-war tension,
with the victorious allies of World
War II competing for the defeated
enemy's favor.
Such suspicious are poisonous
things. Mr.. Strauss has an answer
to them, of sort. He is reviving
the idea of disengagement: pro-
posing, in effect, that Germany
be forbidden to rearm, indeed,
that she be withdrawn from NATO
and her territory neutralized, If
Russia will agree to reunite the
country by free elections.
This is a highly controversial
idea, potentially more explosive
by far than the Spanish deal.
What it amounts to is a proposal
that the West sell its single most
valuable bargaining asset-the
strength and effectiveness of
NATO-for nothing more than
the reunification of Germany.
Position Of Strength
The original decision to rearm
Germany was taken in order to
build a position of strength"
that is, to create bargaining power
with which to buy from Moscow a
satisfactory settlement of the cold
war. But reuniflcation alone
would not be a satisfactory settle
ment in very many eyes. If re-
unlf1cation and detente cannot
both be had-and they cannot
Britain and much of the rest of
NATO would prefer to buy. not
territorial unity for the defeated
enemy, but reconciliation among
the victorious allies.
Germany, however. is deter
mined to the point of desperation
not to be, as she sees it, sold down
the river. She feels she has
worked her passage back into the
society Of free peoples, and should
now be treated as a valuable
friend, not defeated enemy. No
one says so out loud, but there
always remains, implicit in what
is said, the observation-disclosures
but real-that an embittered West
Germany might one day seek a
separate deal with Russia.
The stakes therefore are high
as President Eisenhower and
Chancellor Adenauer meet.

tember-that the California city

Soviet Union provoke or level"
an attack on the United States.
In the propaganda department,
where each contending bloc keeps
ever a wary eye on world opinion.
it was recalled last week that the
Soviet Union has been calling for
the destruction of nuclear weapons
stockpiles since 1916. But in 1946,
the Kremlin had no nuclear weap-
ons, and even after the explosion
of the first Soviet nuclear bomb
in l949, it was a long time before

The 1946 proposals, made as a
counter-offer to the Baruch plan
for worldwide nuclear weapons
control, foundered on the same
rock that threatens to sink the
1860 Geneva talks: Inspection and
controls.
Whatever the actual extent Of
the unity" achieved in the Paris
talks, diplomats were pointing out
yesterday that the West would at
least be entering the Geneva
negotiations with a single plan
instead Of two. The measure of
agreement was considered a happy
augury for Western accord in deal
ing with the Communist proposals.
But there was no disposition to
underestimate the continuing,
fundamental disagreement among
the allies as to the extent it was
safe to go in meeting the Soviet
position.
In any event, few expect any
significant progress in the Geneva
disarmament talks, even in a gen.
eral way, in advance of the sum-
init conference scheduled for mid
May. The results of that summit
probably only the first Of several
are being awaited by statesmen
all over the world as some reliable
indication of the climate of inter-
national relations. If the talks
are warm and productive, even
though not definitive (Which al
most no one expects, then the
men who gather around the lesser
green baize tables will have a cue

a failure, or if it ends on a note
OF chill hostility, the subordinate
conferences will have few pros

THE FOREIGN SCENE

New York. Mr.. Adenauer will come
to Washington for talks with Mr..
Eisenhower, Secretary of State
Herter and other top officials
Tuesday. Wednesday he will dis
cuss the coming summit meeting
in an address at the National
Press Club.
Mr.. Adenauer is expected to
urge a very cautious approach to
the Russians, and to ask that un-
der no circumstances would the
future status of West Berlin be
compromised by concessions. He
is also certain to argue against
even a de facto recognition of the
Communist East German regime.
West Germany will not be off,
cially represented at the summit
talks in Geneva in May. but Mr.,
Adenauer's influence will be very
much present. British diplomats,
political leaders, and a large and
responsible part of the British
press have been complaining in
creasingly in recent weeks that
United States policy is geared
more closely to Bonn than to
either London or Paris.

FORT CAMPBELL, KY, FEB. II:
After a few cold days in
snow-covered Washington, we are
now in Fort Campbell, touring
the facilities of the 101st Airborne
Division and various other type
units of the Sd Army.
In every military base we visit
(this is our third in that many
days. we come across officers who
have served with the Turkish
brigade in Korea. Maj. Young
told us this morning of the night
of April %, 1851, when the Com
munist Chinese attacked in full
force. He remembers how val
iantly the Turks fought to slow
down the attack, how they re-
fused orders to pull back.
The Korean war was nine years
ago but its lesson is not forgotten.
The United States military is on
a 24-hour alert to prevent another
Korea-or something even worse.
1t. Gen. Morton, who was also in
Kunuri that April night, gave us
an example of how quickly the
101st can get into action. This
happened during Vice President
Nixon's eventful trip to Latin
America. Five hundred men left
this base in two hours after ordered
and were in Puerto Rico in six.
DENVER, COLO, FEB. 20:

but the highlight of our day was
a private dinner. Cetin Emec

guests this evening of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones-"a typical American
family" we were told.
Mrs. Jones turned out to be
French-born-nothing "untypical"
for a country often called "the
melting pot" Mrs. Jones has be-
come thoroughly Americanized.
She uses frozen vegetables freely
and likes them, too. Her kitchen
is her pride" but she is de-
termined to spend as little time
there as possible. since machines
do most of the work and Mr..
Jones does the rest.

name to pronounce. President Eli
senhower was here a few days
ago, inspecting the experimental
base here, as we did today.
AS a pleasant surprise, our visit
conceded with the successful fir
ing of Thor missile.
To see this base, and the others
we've visited so far is enough to
diSpel any fears that America is
weak, or weakening. We hear a
lot about "co-existence," accom-
modation," easing Of tensions"
etc. But one thing is certain:
America is not letting her guard
down. She is strong and deter
mined to remain strong.
WASHINGTON, MARCH
A snow storm and a big de-
bate" in Congress are the two
leading problems here in WASH
ington on our last day in America.
The schools are closed but the
United States Senate is opel for
business "a hours a day.
1t is not easy to find out what's
going on in the Senate - this
greatest deliberative body in the
world" = except perhaps to see
the proof of this description. The
speeches are going on day and
night with no end in sight.
The Senators are celebrating
about civil rights-what to do, if
anything, to extend and guard the
voting rights of the Negro citizens
in the Southern States. The Con-
stitution guarantees this right.
but it's apparently denied in some
places. The Senate is trying to
pass law to guard it. But no
vote is possible until all debate
or all opposing Senators-are ex-
hausted. There is no sign of
either, yet. as the speeches con-
tinue. This is called a "filibuster"
"a term without a Turkish coun-
terpart.
This is my final report from
America. Our three-week trip is
over and we are leaving this
afternoon, all of us with weary
bones but full hearts. 1t was long
trip, physically, but a short one
in terms of what there is to see
in this vast, great land. This is
a country of diversity, strength,
still great potential, and some
contradictions.
The average American is a
friendly, warm-hearted, generous
fellow. He may seem naive at
times, but he knows that his
destiny is now linked inextricably
with the destinies of free peoples
everywhere.
If I learned one thing during
this trip, it is this: The American
will do what he can, what he must

rope if by so doing the West could
purchase genuine relief from the
threat of atomic war.
The British argue that the Ger
mans still owe the West a kind
of diplomatic and political war
debt. They ask them to pay it by
accepting partition of their coun-
try.
Mr.. Adenauer, it can be said
on excellent authority, would go
a certain distance. He would
accept temporary standstill
agreement, with a private under
standing that no one would
actively press for Identification, if
a free West Berlin were part of
the deal.
What he absolutely refuses to
do is to place a formal, official
seal of approval on the permanent
partition of Germany. He takes
this stand not simply because it
would be political suicide to do
otherwise, but because, he feels,
it would be a human tragedy to
