Meanwhile, the West is going
forward with what may be the
most significant development Of
the l960s, the integration of the
20-odd Western economies into an
Atlantic trade association which
will present communism with one
OF its most serious challenges.
Ambassador Ormsby Gore is not
altogether in agreement with the
Presidents press conference re-
mark last week that the Russians
fooled us by negotiating on a
nuclear test ban up until the mo-
ment Soviet tests were resumed.
Mr.. Kennedy remarked that "If
they fooled US once, it is their
fault. and if they fool US twice,
it is our fault"
The Ambassador was no longer
fooled after last March, and had
serious doubts after May, 1860
when the U-2 incident soured the
Soviet Union on the teSt-ban ne
gotiations.
In early 1860 the Russians made

These moves by the Soviet

Chonce for Agreement
Then came the collapse of the
summit conference, however,
caused by the U-2 incident. There
was never any period after that
in which the Soviet Union gave
any indication of being sincere
about getting a test ban. The
negotiations dragged on, however,
because of the hope that a new
administration could think UP
something new.
All this is too fresh in mem

test ban agreements stand much

Germ will be to see that United

monized, preferably far enough in
advance of crisis to make for
smooth relations. There are pres
emily no Suezes on the horizon
to circumscribe this hope.
Besides his last decade of ex-

A Genuine Friendship
By WILLIAM r. FRYE
Contributing Writer

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Holland has come up with
unique. If temporary, solution for
the Vests No. l U. N. problem:
How to tie the Afro Asian bloc
in knots.
The formula: Offer to set free
colony which the A-A bloc
passionately anticolonial under
normal conditions does not want
freed. Then sit back and watch
the fun.
1t is not good, clean fun. It
is a form of revenge for the West
Europeans, who have been lashed
raw on colonialism - many of
them with good reason-and who
resent the double standard which
would free Western Europe's col
onies but leave Eastern European
victims of the cold war" in
bondage.
The Dutch maneuver, which
reached the General Assembly
floor last week. is a kind of eli
max to two years of Illustration
among Europeans who have seen
the rampaging Afro Asian bloc,
with 48 votes out of 1903, have
its own way. on an increasing
number of sensitive U. N. issues
where Western, and particu-
larly European, interests have
been at stake.
Now Holland is standing the
A-A bloc on its ear.
Preparing on SeIf-RuIe
The plan is as simple as it
Is subtle. 1t consists of offering
to turn West New Guinea (alias
West Irian) over to the u. N.
The U. N. then would prepare
the islanders for self -determina-
tion.
West New Guinea is a primi-
tive. jungle-covered steam bath
north of Australia which many
American GIs encountered, to
their great regret, in World War
II.
Alone of the islands which
comprised the Dutch East Indies
for three centuries, Holland kept
possession of West New Guinea
when it gave Indonesia inde-
pendence in 1949.
AS real estate, the property had
little intrinsic value. In hostile
hands, it could have been a
threat to Australia's security. But
economically, it was a liability.

The Indonesians were furious at
the Dutch for keeping it back.

Formal Engagements

Evenings are already filling UP
with formal diplomatic engage
ments, but the aim viii be to
keep. some time free for evenings
in private.
One of the Ormsby Cores first
excursions out of Washington will
be for the ArTny-Navy football
game. Under Secretary Of the
Navy Paul B. Fay. jr.. has in
vited the Ambassador to see the
traditional spectacle.
All this. of course, is the easy.
ceremonial side of diplomacy. The
hard work is something the Am
bassador has been prepared for in
his long, largely fruitless negoti-
ations with the Russians on dis
armament.
He has. learned, the hard way,
that Western diplomats must be
extremely patient in negotiating
with the Russians. Soviet nego-
tiators start with big advan-
tage, he believes. because they are
not under pressure from public
opinion at home. This means
they can afford to sit tight as
long as a month or six weeks,
without budging from their stated
position. in the full knowledge
that the Western democracies will
be under extreme pressure to "get
somewhere" or do something"
wSpaperS, parliamentary
committees, commentators, other
critics have a habit of demanding
that the West make a move, any
move. to get things off dead CEN
ter, Ambassador Ormsby Gore has
observed. His theory is that, de-
spite the anticipated clamor, the
West must sit through this OPEN
ing period to prove to the Rus
slams that concessions cannot be
forced simply by a waiting game.
Then, he says, very often the
Russians do get down to serious
negotiation and do make conces-
sions.
This of course does not end
the process. But it gets the ne
gotiations into new cycle.
Berlin and Trode Issues
The two principal problems with
which Ambassador Ormsby Gore
expects to be dealing in his first
year or more in Washington will
be the Berlin-German problem
and the question of free-world
trade relationships, including, of
course, Britain's moves toward the
European common market.
Nuclear tests and disarmament
have been the subjects in which
the Ambassador has been most
deeply involved, because he led the
British negotiating team in Ge-

ography. He has a particular lik-
ing for the great Russian novel;
lists like DostoeSski. Turgenev and
Tolstoy.
Right now Sir David is reading
the third volume Of Arthur Schle-
singers historical trilogy on the
New Deal. He finished the sec
ond volume on the Queen Mary
when he was coming here for his
new assignment.
The new Ambassador knows DR..
SchleSinger best among the new
White House brain trust around
Mr.. Kennedy. But he also devel-
oped passing acquaintance with
Adolf A. Berle and Walt Rostow
when they appeared on one of Da-
vid SusSkind'S long open End"
television programs recently.
The Ambassador is best ac-'
quainted with those Americans
who have conducted recent United
States negotiations on disarma-
ment, both general and nuclear-
test varieties. Arthur Dean, the
test-ban negotiator for the Ken
nedy administration, became
close associate in. Geneva earlier
this year. James j. .Wadsworth,
who represented President Eisen-
hover on the test-ban talks, also
had been good friend.
Friends at the White House
Ted Sorenson, now Mr.. Ken
nedy's special counsel. has been
an acquaintance for some years,
mainly because he had been
around the President when Sir
David was.
Despite all these ties with the
white House crowd" Ambassa-
dor Ormsby Gore intends to prac-
tice his diplomacy in the time
honored channel = through the
State Department. He met Dean
Rusk, now Secretary of State, in
New York before last January, but
these were strictly social con-
facts.
The Rusk taste for long hours
in the office has already caught
the new Briton's attention. Not
long ago Ambassador Ormsby
Gore was called to the State De-
partment at $3.50 pm. for consul
tation with Secretary Rusk on a
matter that could not wait until
the next day.
Work loads for newly arrived
ambassadors can be heavy or
light, depending on the man. Sir
David starts his working day in
bed, before breakfast, with the
morning papers. Then he goes to
breakfast. At $3.50 am. he stops
off on the way across the court
yard from the British Embassy
residence to his new office for a

1890
Sir David Ormsby Gore is not
q hyphenated Englishman.
Back in the days before he was
knighted. meaning just before be
sailed last month to become Am
bassador in Washington, he was
plain Mr.. Ormsby Gore. No
hyphen between the Ormsby and
the Gore. despite the newspapers.
His father is the fourth Baron
Harlech. and Sir David will in
herit that title, too, unless the
law on compulsory inheritance Of
peerageS is changed. but the FAM
lily never put on enough airs to
hyphenate the last name When
you rank the family alphabetical
ly, it comes under the Os, not
the Gs.
In his first few weeks here AM
bassador OrmSby Gore has been
occupied with formalities, deliver
ing his credentials to his close
friend Of % years standing, Pres
ident Kennedy: paying courtesy
calls on other ambassadors in
Washington; getting his two
younger children situated in
school; getting used to the glass
wall in his modernistic office,
which provides a pleasant view of
the courtyard but makes for an
extremely un-British goldfish
bowl kind Of diplomacy. Things
like that.
1t has been just this week end
that the new Ambassador, the
second youngest ever sent from
London to Washington, has felt
himself ready to plunge into the
Ambassadorial Steering Group
meetings Of Western Four repre-
sentatives here, to elaborate STRAIT
egy on Berlin.
Recreation: Tennis
One Of the pleasant parts of
settling into the job was last Sun
days visit with Attorney General
Kennedy and his family when the
new Ambassador had a chance to
sharpen up his tennis game. He
hasn't found a steady doubles
partner yet, and has played only
a few times on the court in the
British Embassy compound. He
is still in the process of testing
the competition to find where his
game fits" with his staff. After
a three-year layoff, however, his
game is still rusty.
His predecessor. Sir Harold Cac-
cia, was known here as skilled
tennis player who managed to
get into the late rounds of several
tournaments during his tour here.
Ambassador Ormsby Gore has no
such high and mighty aspirations.
Still he would play every day If
his work load permitted.
The Ambassadors other main
sport is shooting" as the English
say. In England he tried to get
in as much hunting as he could,
for grouse, pheaSants, all game
birds.
While he was Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs and in other
posts based in the United King
dom. he especially enjoyed the
modest but good pheasant shoot

A Furor

The Day statement set off
furor. 1t angered some whites,
who demanded to know why Mr..
Law was being reinstated to de-
liver mail to other citizens if the
Postmaster General felt as he did.
Many Negroes, on the other hand,
believed that Mr.. Law was being
prosecuted for his NAACP ac-
tivities.
On Wednesday the President
was asked by a reporter how he
felt about Mr.. Days remarks.
II think he probably today
feels he would like to recast that
statement" Mr.. Kennedy said
firmly, with a trace of a wry
smile.
Many reporters at the news
conference felt something else
that Mr.. Kennedy had figuratively
taken Mr.. Day to the woodshed
long before Wednesday for his
handling of the case.
Shortly after the Kennedy news
conference Mr.. Day withdrew. that
