Khrushchev' Diplomatic Boners

vitation to come to the
United States a year ago, the
Soviet boss said that, of
course, Mr.. Eisenhower could
come to Russia on a return
visit and that television and
broadcasting facilities similar
to those Mr.. KhruShchev en-
joyed while in this country
would be available there to
the American President. 1t
was to have been an oppor-
tunity for reciprocity on the
basis Of a new understand
ing.
But the Soviet Premier
became afraid of what
thoughts might be put into
the minds of his own peo-
pie. Although boasting that
communism could stand up
in any debate against the
arguments of the non-Com-
munist philosophy of free
enterprise and human liber-
ty. the truth is that the So
Wet Premier was fearful and
looked for some way to get
out Of his promise. He found
the excuse in the U-2 Incl
dent, which any diplomat
should have known was not
worth the hullabaloo created
over it. Indeed, when the
Lusitania was torpedoed in
1915 by a submarine of the
Kaiser'S government, and
ia Americans travelling
aboard the unarmed passen-
ger ship were drowned,
the Washington government
didn't even break off diplo-
matte relations with the i'm
perial German government
but merely sought assurances
that the incident would not
be repeated. A way was
opened whereby instructions
to submarine commanders
could be revoked and by
diplomacy war was averted
for nearly two years.
Actually, the United States
last spring did Immediately
order U-2 flights discon-
tinued. From a diplomatic
standpoint, Mr.. Khrushchev
gained his point. But he
didn't have enough knowl-
edge of civilized diplomacy
to take advantage of it. In
stead, he demolished a diplo-
matte negotiation of the
highest importance and set
back the whole situation in
a troubled world. History
will say-what a blunderer
was Nikita Khrushchevl

Former Governors Sense of Vindicotion
And Personal Vanity Make Job Hard

The most difficult role Of
the presidential campaign
has been handed to Adlai
Stevenson. He is being COM
PEELED to play a kind of
political Enoch Arden who
must not merely look on while
former associates settle down
to welded bliss with Senator
John F. Kennedy, but he
must actively urge them to
do it faster and more en-
Enthusiastically.
The dedicated Stevenson
following is important in
many States, New York and
California being especially
crucial because of their big
electoral votes. He also has
a unique hold on rich sources
of campaign funds which are
not overly attracted to Sena-
tors Kennedy and johnson.
Democratic Party members
need him, and they are truly
grateful for his efforts. which

MIAMI, Fla.-We were sit
ting in Ell Minerva, which is
the favorite Spanish restau-
rant in town. eating Paella
Valencia, which is seafood,
chicken and yellow rice. The
conversation was routine.
The cafe was busy, as it has
a right to be. Tourists have
not discovered it, or are too
calorie conscious to patron
ize it. The atmosphere is
loud, relaxed, and honey
with plenty of what the Lat
ins call simpatico.
Maybe another reason the
tourists don't give it a play
is that it does not cater to
the wine cult. There is
simply red and white Spanish
wine. There is no raising of
glasses and bird-dog- like
shifting at them to discover
the aroma. Nor do the wait
ers go through the ritual of
pouring a Smidgen in the
hosts glass for him to sip
and pronounce a Judgment.
The waiter simply pours the
wine.
We were guests of a local
newSman. The talk was in
evitably shop talk. Manage
ment was given a quick, rou-
tine cutup, and then con
versation got quickly around
to the quality of newspapers,
books and writer's.
There was no warning at
all that the scene quickly was
to be transformed into low
grade Hemingway. Things
were just like they always
are in Ell Minerva. The
tables were filled. The talk
was loud and gay. The
guests were busy eating great
amounts Of yellow rice and
chicken, beef hash, Cuban

"And then the guests come.
They can't eat bread or but
ter. They speak of calories.
They do a soliloquy before
taking or refusing a rye crisp.
They are very formal and if
they relax at all it is but
slightly. Dessert is something
made from a new mix which
contains no taste save a
metallic sweet flavor. The
hostess explains it is made
out of a soybean powder
which has no calories at all.
They are beautiful meals but
they are not good to eat"
Look at her." he said,
pointing to a ck-haired
young woman of about %
who looked like. one of the
young ladies in painting by
Rubens. "She is topping off
fried beef and rice with
straw berries and heavy
cream. I tell you, when a
Latin woman comes to the
table she graces it magnifi-
Gently. She eats. There is
laughter and conversation.
There are bread pieces on
the table, sprinkles of yellow
rice, and a splash Of sauce.
"Only the Latin women"
he repeated, know how to
grace a table at which eat
ing is to be done. In fact"
he said, ''only the Latins and
the Chinese really appreciate
eating anyhow"
He abruptly turned his
wrist and peered at his
watch. Got to CO." he said.
And did, forgetting to pick
up his tab.

yielding his native State
spotlight to his presidential
running-ma He even
wanted to appear with Sem
ator Kennedy before the
Houston Ministerial Alliance
for the Kennedy discussion
of the religious issue. The
ministers solved that one by
refusing to invite Senator
johnson on the ground that
it would make the occasion
obviously political.
Mr.. Stevenson no doubt has
his share Of personal vanity,
though it rarely shows. But
he has other reasons for an
air Of command in the pub
lie arena. He has lived to
see himself indicated in
much that he said in two
presidential campaigns, and
he could hardly be expected
to be completely detached
about this one. Also, his fol-
lowers are emotional, and
emotion in political cam
paigns is a two-way street.
He does have intense feel
ingS Of his own to turn upon
his audiences inshis own way.
His intellectual disdain for
the Vice President is abso-
lutte. So is his sense of out
rage at the liberties Mr..
Nixon took with him person
ally during the old harsh
days when the Vice Presi-
dent was acting as Republi-
can hatchet man.

Stevenson Has q Tough Role

Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller has something of the
same problem as he mans the
battlements for his success
full rival for the Republican
nomination. But Mr.. Nixon
never felt himself really
threatened by Gov. Rookie
feller, and recognized politi-
cal techniques served the
Nixon ends. The Vice Presi-
dent never felt compelled to
aim for Gov. Rockefeller's
jugular vein as he did at Mr..
Stevenson's and those Of his
California opponents.
Senator Kennedy and his
advisers have had many dis
cussions about Mr.. Steven
sons campaign role and his
place in a Kennedy admin
istration. No one thinks it
wise for the nominee to COM
init himself on cabinet or
other posts for his support
ers and early demands by
StevensonianS that he get a
pledge of Secretary of State
have abated.
Nor does any great problem
about their views exist. In
the area of foreign affairs
they are not in dispute. On
domestic issues Senator Ken
nedy takes a more liberal
position than Mr.. Stevenson
ever did. Only the human
aspect offers any difficulty
and a test of the political
maturity of both men. 1t
could be complicated by the
fact that both are writer's, a
competition in which detach-
ment is rare, indeed.

DAVID LAWRENCE

What real progress toward
world peace could have been
made by Nikita Khrushchev
if he had been endowed with
a fundamental understand
ing of diplomacy! AS it is,
he has committed the worst
blunders in the history OF
diplomacy.
One rule, which has be-
hind it centuries of tradition,
is that the door is never de-
liberately closed and that,
however disturbing the crisis
may be, it is wise always to
give your opponent an hon.
orable way to continue ne
gotiations.
The Soviet Premier had
everything to gain and moth
ing to lose before he delib-
erately scuttled the summit"
conference at Paris la t
spring. There was a good
chance that he might have
gotten a workable agreement
on the Berlin problem-a re-
vision of the legal require
ments for the four Allies
and he would have been
hailed on both sides of the
. Iron Curtain as a peace
maker. His prestige certain
ly would have grown, at least
inside the Communist bloc.
Why did the Soviet die
tator throw away his
chances? Was he just a
blunderbuss "a man with
out the knowledge of West
ern psychology that he
should have had? Did his
advisers fail him, or was he
too stubborn or egotistic to
listen to them when they
gave him sound advice?
AS a propagandist and
Snowman, Mr.. Khrushchev
has made dramatic efforts to
enhance his own standing,
but except for the dictator
ship power he wields over a
vast empire. he would GER
tainly have no more prestige
in the world today than a
faltering Lumumba. To have
his movements restricted to
Manhattan Island by the
Government of the United
States is the biggest humilia-
ton any Premier of a big
country could suffer. But he
had it coming to him after
his ruthless denunciation of

people that we can be
wiped of the earth" before
we have a chance to strike
back. This is, of course, un-
true. and those who have
real responsibility in these
matters know it. But some
how or other the propaganda
has taken roots in the minds
of our people and it is this
frame of mind which Khru-
shchev intends to exploit
during his stay on American
soil. He appears before the
American people surrounded
by his minions from the
satellite countries as we'll as
his recent conquest, Cuba's
Fidel Castro.
From the rostrum of the
U. N. Assembly hall Khru-
shchev will present once
more a number of high
sounding but phony disarma-
ment proposals. His main
objective, however, is to get
the President of the United
States whom he has inSulted
as no American Chief EXecu-
tive and for that matter no
other head of government
has been inSulted in history,
to meet him again under the
pretext Of talking world
disarmament"
Khrushchev knows that
the time is propitious for an
other humiliation of the
United States. The elections
are only a few weeks away.
The candidates of both
parties have made peace in
our time" one of their
principal electoral slogans.
Will President Eisenhower
refuse to accept the phony
olive branch extended by
Khrushchev? The Red die
tator does not seem to think
so, otherwise he would not
be here.

1t was at this moment that
a visiting journalist entered
and with great confidence
pulled up a chair and joined
us.
Have you ever noticed and
appreciated the great su-
periority of the Latin women
as dinner companions?" he

rather buxom, pretty young

Look around you. A Latin
woman is magnificent at the

and lets the crumbs fall on
the cloth. She buffers it
generously. She throws back
her head and laughs heartily
when amused. She eats
chicken and rice with ap-
probation. When the newt
able happens and she grows
larger she has a very simple
solution. She buys a larger

the situation at staggering
cost in human lives, destruc-
ton and expenditure which
will burden American taxpay-
ers for generations.
Since the outbreak of the
cold war in 1916 there have
been innumerable disarma-
ment conferences and nego-
tiations. They were all with
out result because of the bad
faith and obvious trickery of
the Kremlin. AS in the past,
we have set the pace with
disarmament by example"
Immediately after the end of
the war we completely dis
persed our troops which in
1945 were the strongest in
the world. The Communist
aggression in Korea opened
our eyes. In the meantime
the Russians had built up
their conventional as we'll as
their nuclear weapons and
rocketry power to a point
where they have become as
great a relative menace as the
Nazis had become in 1896.
There has not been a single
limitation of arms meeting
during the last decade at
which the Russians have
given us even a vague indica-
ton that they want to nego-
tiate in good faith or meet
us anywhere near halfway.
Today the Soviet Chinese
bloc is not superior in
strength to the free world.
But it excels us by far in
psychological warfare and
propaganda.

the President of the United
States last spring.
It wouldn't have been re-
garded as out of order if the
Soviet Premier had merely
used severe language in OPP
posing another governments
actions or views, but to make
his attack personal and to
belittle the head of a foreign
power is about the most
senseless tactic a would-be
diplomat ever could be guilty
of employing.
The people of Russia have
had trained diplomats in past
history. and the Slavic ma
tions as a whole have turned
out men who have been skill
full in dealing with interna-
tional problems. But Nikita
Khrushchev has broken all
records for blundering in di-
plomacy.
What is most tragic from
the standpoint of the Rus
sian people is that they could
be plunged into a devaSta-
ting war by the same capri
cious man who poses as a
friend of peace. His word
today is not accepted in the
world at large. The pledges
he says he will give on dis
armament are regarded in
advance as worthless. He is
wasting his breath at the
United Nations General As
sembly. If there were a free
government in Moscow, an
other premier would have
been elected last May and
Mr.. Khrushchev himself
would have been relegated to
political limbo.
It is Mr.. KhruShchev, how
ever, who wieldS power to-
day in the Soviet Union. and
he is trying vainly for a neY
position of vantage by an
oStentatiouS maneuver at the
United Nations. In bringing
his henchmen from other
countries to New York and
endeavoring to give the ap-
pearance Of a mighty bloc,
he is certainly not fooling the
free world.
The Soviet Premter's prop
aganda is ineffective pri-
marily because of his record
of duplicity and deception.

These sources say Mr.. Cas-
tro's main effort-for which the
invasion warnings provide the
smokescreen - is anti-Ameri-
canism. His immediate goal,
they add, is to isolate the
United States from the rest Of
Latin America by fostering and
supporting Castro-type regimes
in such countries as Panama,

Puerto Rico.
This is the trend Of Castro
propaganda: to claim today

to claim tomorrow that the

day that Washington plans to
