u. S. Backs
Belgium in
Congo Move
BY the Associated Press

The United States formally
disassociated itself yesterday
from Congolese Premier Patrice
Lumumba's charges that Bel
GUM committed aggression
against the Congo by rushing
troops there after rioting broke
out.
I'VE are satisfied that the
government of Belgium sent its
troops to the Congo in order to
protect the lives which were
endangered and that it had no
aggressive intent" the State
Department said.
The statement appeared to
be an answer to Mr.. Lumumba's S
denunciation of Belgium made
while he was an honor guest
of the United States Wednes-
day and Thursday.
In leaving for Canada Fri
day, Mr.. Lumumba said while
Undersecretary Of State Doug
las Dillon stood beside him at
the airport:
To-day all of Africa is threat
ened by Belgium"
Belgian authorities are known
to have been upset at the de-
partment's silence in the face
Of Mr.. Lumumba's accusation.
Ambassador Louis Scheyvens
called on Secretary of State
Herter Thursday to complain
that the United States welcome
for Mr.. Lumumba made it look
as though the United States
backed his accusation.
The State Department also
applauded the Belgian govern
ment for cooperating with the
United Nations by announcing
the withdrawal of $500 of the
10000 troops hurriedly flown
there.
Belgium announced at the
time troops were sent, the De-
partment noted, that they
would be pulled out "as soon
as order was restored"

Lunlumba Sees
Russian, Cuts
Canada Visit

OTTAWA, Ont, July 80 (AP)
Congo Premier Patrice Lu-
mumba cut short his two-day
visit to Canada today and flew
back to New York to catch a
plane for home.
Canadian officials said the
Premier, who originally had not
intended to leave here until
Sunday morning. had advanced
his departure because of "ur-
gent business"
There was speculation here
that the change in plans was
connected with domestic affairs
in the month-old African re-
bublic or the result of a surprise
meeting in Lumumba's hotel
suite with Soviet Ambassador
Amasap Aroutunia.
During the conference in the
Chateau Laurier Hotel, a Con-
golese said the Ambassador was
trying Ito put through a call
to Washington"

The Soviet Charge d'Affaires
in Washington, Mikhail Smir-
novSky, twice tried to get an in
terview with Lumumba during
his stay in Washington but
failed.
Mr.. Lumumba and Mr..
Aroutunian met for 80 minutes
while the Congo Premier had a
breakfast of orange juice and
steak. Their talk lasted until
almost an hour after the Pre-
mier was to meet Marcel Cadi-
eux, No. 3 man in the Canadian
External Affairs Department.
Shortly after noon, the 35-
year-old Congo leader inter-
rupted his talks with Mr.. Cadi-
eux and marshalled his eight
man delegation of Ghanians,
Guineans and Congolese back
to the hotel for an unscheduled
meeting. Plans for the depar-
ture were then announced.
Before leaving. he also had
an hours talk with Canadian
Prime Minister John Diefen-
baker.
Mr.. Lumumba showed signs
of irritation when asked fol
comment on his meeting with
the Soviet Ambassador.
Annoyed at Questions
. Arriving in New York, Mr.
Lumumba continued to- show
annoyance at questions about
the Russian Ambassador, say
ing he had not had breakfast
with any Russian, nor lunch
either.
He said he had been asked
too many nonsense questions
and was vexed at the press.
He described his Canadian
talks as fruitful, adding:

hension I found in Washing

Khrushchev and 'Co-existence'

Red China ultimately let him

of the New Communism?
The problems among the
Western allies are several.
The Western Big Two-the
United States and Britain
are divided, truly, but not
angrily. The whole sum of
their division-whether over
Berlin policy or disarmament
or what not-comes to this:
The British are the more
ready to take chances with
Moscow than we are.
We look at the British as
a little too hopeful. They
look at us as a little too fear
full and perfectionist. They
want first an agreement, on
most anything, with the
Russians. We want first an
assurance that any possible
agreement would in fact be
kept by the Russians.
So. what Of the future?
Since the West is committed
firmly to negotiation, we
must simply press on, hop
ing that if this summit ac-
complishes nothing, another,
or yet another, will do so.
We have got to prepare for
the worst and act for the
best. as the thing is put by
a very knowledgeable man
on this subject.

will be more squadrons in
position in Italy and Turkey
- all capable Of reaching any
vital target in the European
area of the Soviet Union.
Adding the 128 Polaris mis-
siles to these 800 land-based
missiles makes a grand total
OF about 518 effective retail
atory missiles.
On top of this will come
the Minuteman, which will
supersede the others as the
prime missile on land in 1868.
This is a mobile missile like
the Polaris. 1t can be moved
on freight cars. Some bridges
and overpaSSeS will have to
be increased in height to
move the Minuteman around
on trains or trucks, but, any,
way, all or a large share of
these will not be constantly
in fixed positions where an
enemy missile can find them.
With Polaris missiles roam
ing the high seas and Minute
man missiles moving around
this country and intermedi-
ate-range missiles based on
the territory of our allies and
our manned airplanes carry
ing nuclear bombs, the de-
terrent power Of the Western
alliance today and in the
foreseeable future is so for
midable that it justifieS in
every sense the momentouS
declaration of Gen. Twining,
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff, who said to a con-
gresSional committee on Feb
ruary 9:
"On the basis Of all the in

and in view of the mission
and locations of our retalia-
tory-weapons systems, I just
do not believe that any ma
ton possesses the ability to-
day or in the foreseeable fu-
ture to attack us or destroy
us without receiving unac-
ceptable damage in return"
That's the whole missile
controversy in a nutshell, and
1t explains the confidence
about the outlook felt by
President Eisenhower and
the three military chiefs Of
our armed forces. America
doesn't like to do any sabre
rattling," but, if it is forced

clans, plenty of missile rat

Thirdly, while there is evi-

At the national level the
Democratic Party is, to the
great distress of those who

From the time of Andrew

break down the white pri-

been much of a Negro vote.
But removal of some Of the

They are not, however,

Der of the still stubbornly

avoid being trapped into a
situation which might ap-

all the rest be total and re-

The Kremlin's slight cas-
ing Of the screw on the Rus
sian people does not suggest
that the Russian people in
any basic way can influence
Khrushchev's decisions. It
does suggest, however, that
he must give some small
heed to their wishes. The
reason is that he had pro-
foundly dedicated his whole
regime to industrial produc-
ton. Industrial production
requires workers who can,
and will, work usefully. They
need not be happy workers,
but they must be workers
with some stake in the fu-
ture.
This state of affairs ordi-
narily and in common sense
would press Khrushchev to
give measurable. if tiny,
ground to the West. But he
has at the same time. a
quite contrary pressure from
the Chinese Communists.
These grim and faceless
types, being converts, are
more Bolshevik than the

Preparing for Summit Talk, He is Seen
Toking Firm Line but Avoidino Force
WILLIAM S. WHITE

What really is in Nikita
Khrushchev's mind as he
prepares TO meet the West
ern leaders at the summit in
May and Mr.. Eisenhower
alone in the Presidents
June visit to the Soviet
Union?
Long effort to find author
itative and responsible esti-
mates from informed men,
both American and British,
produces these firm impress
sions from their private OBJ
Servations:
Khrushchev doesn't mean
by "coexistence" what we
mean-namely and simply,
two different blocs living side
by side at peace, however
much they dislike each other.
To him coexistence means
that he does the existing, so
to speak, while we do mostly
the cooperating. His notion
is this: Whats ours in the
Soviet Empire is, Of course,
ours. What's yours (the
Vests is, naturally, subject
to debate and further nego-
tiation."
All this does not indicate,
however, that Khrushchev is
likely to provoke war. 1t is
not even likely. indeed, that
he will try further to expand
his empire by force anywhere
at all.
He is determined not to
risk the destruction of the
vast industrial plant so labo-
riously and at last built up
by the Soviet Union. He
knows nuclear war would
work just that destruction.
Thus, in a highly ironical
way, he is in what could be
described as a conservative"
position. To hang onto and
to firm up his present hold
ingS-most especially his in
dustrial holdings - is cur
rently more important to
