Paris and London. There
may be, as is natural, varia-
tions due to circumstances
that arise in the complex
matter of international ex-
change, but any report that
Mr.. Dillon doesn't see eye
to-eye with Mr.. Anderson Is
erroneous. Their mission was
many weeks in preparation,
and. although Mr.. Dillon
didn't accompany Mr.. An
derson on his final visit to
Augusta to talk with Presi-
dent Eisenhower before going
abroad, this was Of no signifi-
canoe because the policies
already had been laid down
and the high officials Of the
State Department, including
Mr.. Dillon, were in entire
agreement with the Treas
ury.
To q large extent the Sc
lection of Mr.. Dillon to be
Secretary Of the Treasury Is
understandably political. Mr..
Kennedy knows that the
principal attacks by the Re-
publicans during the CAM
paign and the fears expressed
since have been concerned
with possible unsoundnesS in
fiscal policy. The President
elect wanted to give aSsur-
ances that he really means to
maintain fiscal SoundneSS.
What better way to dispel
fears than to pick a man from
Mr.. Eisenhower's administra-
ton, even If it opens UP from
time to time a bombardment
from the factions on Capitol
Hill which want to tinker
with the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn and preserve artiflcially
low interest rates when the

DAVID LAWRENCE

Did President Eisenhower
really advise the Undersecre-
tary Of State, c. Douglas Dill
lon, not to accept the
PreSident-elect's proffer OF
the secretaryship Of the
Treasury in the new Cabinet?
What was meant when Mr..
Kennedy was reported to
have said in Q press con-
ference that he understood
Mr.. Eisenhower had urged
Mr.. Dillon to accept the
post?
The conflict is more ap-
parent than real. It is i'm
portant to clarity what did
happen, not only for the
benefit of those in this coun-
try who are directly affected
by Treasury policies but for
the guidance Of foreign gov
ernments, particularly since
the gold problem will con-
tinue to be Of paramount i'm
portance in the next several
months.
After q careful inquiry into
all the circumstances Of the
incident, this correspondent
has ascertained the following
to be the facts:
I. President Eisenhower
gave friendly counsel to Mr..
Dillon and urged him to make
sure that he had a clear un-
derstanding as to the making
Of future policies in the
Treasury. He pointed out
some of the difficulties but
carefully refrained from
making, any request that Mr..
Dillon should decline the
post. .
2. II the President had
made the specific request.
Mr.. Dillon would not have
accepted the post in the new
administration. He, therefore,
was free to make his own de-
cision and did not feel it was
necessary or proper to trans
init. to Mr.. Kennedy what
had been discussed at the
White House.
3. The President sees no
objection to anybody taking
q post In the Government
at any time If he feels the
national interest can be
served thereby, but he does
express to his friends the
caution that so often is

At this ticklish point, the
new Vice President comes on
the scene In q role which
could add greatly to his stat

essence Of successful admin
istration.

Of course, will rest with Mr..

By all the signs and por-
tents. the Soviet Union and
its allies and satellites have
decided to waste none of the
golden opportunity offered
by the change in administra-
tionS in the United States.

an adage that surely did not
originate in Iowa.

Bolivia, in Ecuador-all over

munists are as busy as the
proverbial bees Of Brigham
Young's Deseret. But unlike
the busy bees Of Utah, these
insects are not builders. but
wreckers.
The pattern has become 80
deliberate and readily dis
cernible that no one can be
in doubt Of its organized in
tent. Against the unfortu-
nate background Of the fail
ure Of the Summit meeting
last May, the U-2 fiasco
which was used as the excuse
to wreck the summit, the
embarrassment of Japan's
riots and the cancellation Of
the visit to Tokyo by Pres
ident Eisenhower and many
other developments which
have weakened the prestige
and strength of the United
States in the world, the men
in the Kremlin have design
ed and put into effect q plan
for sabotage.
The result they hope for,
and certainly one which they
stand more than a fair
chance Of achieving, is to
present the incoming Ken
nedy administration with a
world in shambles. Accord
ing to the obvious Soviet
blueprint, President elect
Kennedy will take office at
a period when the world will
be absolutely rife with crises,
all Of them serious chal-
lenges to the free world.
A close o bserver might

automatically embarrass him

Package Services, Like Rental Engines
While Yours Is Fixed, Believed in Cards

Notes Along the Road:
This Is q time Of revolutions
in politics. government and
thought. Nothing seems as
sured In our scheme Of
things, including. even, the
excellent gas stations which
offer such courteous service.
A man typical of those
who has created an Amer
ican culture out Of the mass
production and sale Of con-
sumef goods is even now pre-
pairing to establish an en-
gine Service in which one
may drive in and have q
newly rebuilt motor replace
the old, or rent one for a
designated period.
The great change, or revo-
luton, will come in mergers
in the field of Service in
dustries" and in none will it
be more radical than in
those serving the tourist and
those whose business re-
quires travel by automobile.
The businessman who
plans to offer engines as a
quick-change package says
automobile manufacturers
already are trying to let us
know what Is ahead. A num-
ber Of the 1851 models need
an oil change once every
1000 miles and greasing not
more than once or twice a
year. The trend is away from
the phrase which has come
to haunt some of the mass
production peoples-"planned
obsolescence." BY 1865 the
models are expected to have
all greaseless bearings-no
greasing at all will be neces-
sary. The parts, which once
seemed to last so short a
time, already are lasting
longer. There will be con-
tinued improvement in this
field.

necessary when there 10 i'm
portant policy TO be made.
For. 1t Is obvious that all
sorts Of conflicting influences
are bound to arise in shap-
ing such a policy, and q
cabinet oficer is better or II
he has assurances in ad-
vance that he will be sup
ported by the President.
4. Mr.. Dillon has read the
Democratic National Plat
form and knows that there
are various persons promi-
nent in Kennedy circles who
will be pressing for bigger
and bigger Federal expendi-
lures, but the new Secretary's
task will be to set forth what
seem to him to be sound
fiscal policies, irrespective Of
whether they conform to or
conflict with the platform Of
either national political
party. Every cabinet oficer
often finds outside advisers,
in Congress and elsewhere,
trying to tell q President
what should be done in a
particular department, and
if Mr.. Kennedy has to tell
them that he can't do what
they want because his Secre-
tary Of the Treasury objects,
it isn't going to disturb Mr..
Dillon to be the scapegoat
for such turndownS as the
new President may have to
give to various economic
advisers.
5. Mr.. Dillon is convinced
that he and the President
elect are in basic agreement
on Treasury policy. This was
revealed officially in Mr..
Kennedy's press conference
a few days ago at Palm
Beach. That's enough assur-
ance for the new Secretary
and for the public until
otherwise advised.
g.. Published reports that
Secretary of the Treasury
Robert Anderson didn't want
Mr.. Dillon to accept the post
are entirely in error. because
Mr.. Anderson actually urged
him to do so.
