his Gettysburg (PaO farm.
He conferred in his Office
this morning with Secretary of
State Herter. Mr.. Hagerty said
he would be comforting with
others during the day in shap-
ing the report.
The President returned to
Washington Friday after seeing
his hopes for easing cold war
tensions blasted when Soviet
Premier Khrushchev refused to
go on with the scheduled sum-
NIT meeting at Paris last week.
Mr.. KhruShchev demanded
that the President apologize for
sending spy planes over Rus
Sia, promise that it would not
happen again and punish those
responsible for sending the
plane as condition for sum-
NIT negotiations.
Mr. Eisenhower refused to
meet his demands. He would 60

plainly when he left Washing

fallacious. plan to put

Associates said Mr.. Lodge
probably would speak for only
half an hour.
1t was assumed that Mr.
Lodge would devote his main
effort to trying to show that
the Soviet Union is just as
guilty of espionage as the
United States is. One United
States source said he undoubt-
edly would cite a few cases.
He will not be able to deny
that the United States has
been spying from the air. Mr.
Herter has already conceded
that United States planes have
been flying over Soviet terri
tory for the last four years.
The Council debate is ex-
pected to last several days.
Mr.. Lodge has said that al
the proper time" the United
States will present a proposal
for a U. N. aerial surveillance
system to guard against sur
prise attack. United States Of
ficials said, however, he wanted
to hold off until after the So
Wet complaint has been dealt
with.
For Mr.. Lodge personally
the council debate has a special
significance. Coming just a
few weeks before the presi-
dental nominating conven-
tions, it could have an i'm
portant bearing on his chances
to win the Republican nomi-
nation for Vice President
post for which he has heen
mentioned frequently.

widespread unrest. Oflcial ex-
plantations of what was done
have not been accepted every
where without question.
There is an obvious distinc-
ton to be drawn so far as this
reaction is concerned. From the
beginning, Communist Party
leaders have fallen in line with
MoScow's lead. Official press
and radio reports have been
loudly trumpeting Mr.. Khru-
shchev's charges about Ameri-
can spying and his argument
that. under the circumstances,
no meeting was possible.
The only criticism on the
party level so far has come
from East German leaders who
have complained that Mr..
KhruShchev did not go far
enough. The East German
leaders-Walter Ulbricht and
Otto Grotewohl-argued un-
successfully, it is believed, for
a much tougher stand on Ber-
lin and a German peace treaty
than Mr.. Khrushchev was will
ing to make.
Hopes Now Dashed
But their reaction is in sharp
contrast to that of the great
majority of the ordinary people
in the satellite area. Their fer
vent hope had been that the
summit conference would re-
suit in a further relaxation of
the Russian grip on Central
Europe and eventual restora-
tion Of something like normal
contacts with the West.
These hopes have now been
cruelty disappointed. And it
seems clear that in some of the
satellite states. the reaction of
the rank and file has been less
resigned than their leaders
might have wished.
In East Germany this reac-
.tion was strikingly demon
strated in the apathetic send
off given Mr.. Khrushchev on
his departure for Moscow Sat-
urday. Despite urgent appeals
of ofhcial party "agitators," al
most no one turned out. Like
party militantS, ordinary East
Berliners apparently had found
litl. in Mr.. Khrushchev's per-
formaice to cheer about.
At the same time, news Of
repercussions elsewhere has

Ioflcial Communist reports. In
Munich, the monitoring sta
ton of Radio Free Europe,
which keep an ear cooked to
radio broadcasts throughout
the satellite area, has reported
several incidents in the past
few days which caused concern
to party propagandists.
In Budapest. for instance,
the official radio has reported
on special meetings of workers
where party officials were at
pains to justify Mr.. Khrush-
chev's course. 1t was found
necessary, according to the
radio, to convince workers that
their strained reaction" to the
summit failure was unjuStified
and to explain it to them COR
rectly " Afterward, said Radio
Budapest, "even these people
resumed thier work as before
and everyone looked to the
future with confidence.
New Attacks on Tito
Elsewhere in Hungary an
official party organ gives q
long account of a certain pro-
feSsor who had questioned
Khrushchev's wisdom in con-
demning harshly the aerial in
cursion into the Soviet Union. ="
The professor. according to
the paper. was finally con-
vinced." But the very fact
that his criticism was men
toned at all reflects unusual
anxiety over public reaction.
At the same time the summit
failure has set of a new and
angry series Of attacks against
Yugoslavia'S Marshal Tito. A
recent interview in which Mr..
Tito expressed the opinion that
the U-2 flight was not the "es-
sential fact" which caused the
conference breakdown has in
furiated his critics in Red
China and Albania.
So far as China is concerned,
Marshal Tito has tried in every
way to justify American "ag-
greSSion. To Albanians it
proved that Yugoslav leaders
were ''incorrigible renegades
and revolutionists" following
the orders Of American impe-
rialistS to the limit of their
power"
Confused as they may be,
these strident charges, echoes
from the Communist orbit seem
to signal a new period of trou-
BILE within the orbit itself. A
more serious blowup could be
in the making.
Meanwhile, there is some
comfort in the knowledge that
when the caviar hit the fan
in Paris. it wasn't only the
West that got spattered.

In a heated reply, Senator

Mr.. Stevenson denied giving

nois Governor had a right to
make the "crowbar" speech he

While Senators DirkSen and
Mansfield were debating in the
Senate, Representative Holi-
field was lashing out at the
Eisenhower policies in a speech
to the Woman's National Dem
ocratic Club.
Sees Too Little Homework
He said these policies "have
veered from craftsmanship to
expediency" and have de-
pended too much on self-right-
eouSness and moral preach
ments and too little on home
work and long-range realistic
planning"
Mr.. Holifield is one of the
leaders of the 38 House Demo-
Gratis who wrote President Eli
senhower Saturday demanding
that he tell the whole story of
the spy plane incident.
In his speech today, he criti-
cized those members of his. own

deep-seated deficiencies in our

and in the management of our

Our foreign policy has failed
not because of recent blunderS
related to the summit meeting
but because of its fundamental
lack Of purpose and integrity"

Democratic Party in any sound
efforts" Mr.. Eisenhower may

wreckage of the Paris meeting

of the world can be assured" :"
THE administration cannot

sion of our international af-
fairs" said Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Paul M. But
Ter in releasing the statement.
Truman IndOrses
The statement was indorsed
by Mr.. Stevenson, former Pres
ident Truman and Senators
Kennedy of Massachusetts and
Symington Of Missouri. All
but Mr.. Truman are potential
contenderS for the Democratic
presidential nomination, as is
Senator johnson.
One Republican Senator,
JavitS Of New York. backed the
plans for congressional inves-
legations.
Il think that when things
go wrong naturally the admin
istration has to account for
them-just as when things go
right. it gets credit for them"
Senator JavitS said on a New
York State television program.
Things went wrong this time,
but I do not really believe they
went wrong in any way that
you could hold anybody cul-
pable for"
Adding to the controversy
was a foreign policy statement
by a Democratic study group
that criticized the administra-
tion's policy as sterile and in
effective.
This statement, prepared be-
fore the summit collapse, was
the work of IL House members
and 40 scholars, scientists and
foreign policy experts, called
the Liberal Project. The House
members, enlisting outside aid,
set out a year ago to fashion
a liberal program within Con-
gress in a number of fields.
The foreign policy study,
written by New York author
and economist, James War
burg, said one vitality important
future policy should be recog-
milton of Red China and its
eventual admission to the
United Nations.
I'VE cannot see how our
Government can hope to ease
tensions, to arrive at fair
settlements of disputes, or
above all, to achieve disarm-
ament without establishing di-
