existence politicians who will

COW.
When this reporter pointed
out to a doubling Thomas
that america could, also,
reach an understanding with
the Red regime, the answer
was, international commu-
nism is dedicated to your de-
struction and not necessarily
by military means. Russia
and China are more inter-
ested in a friendly Europe
which alone can further the
economic plans of interna-
tional communism. For. un-
less there is a substantial
improvement in the way of
life of the slaves in the Com
munist states, the regime,
particularly in Russia, can
not last indefinitely. 1t has
become so shaky already that
KhruShchev has been forced
into the present diversions to
whip up the nationalistic
frenzy of his people,"
A close analysis of Mr..
Khrushchev's position made
by actual and not make
believe experts indicates that
he is planning a dangerous
game for himself and is
banking for its success on
the fear of some Americans
and the bulk of the United
Kingdom of a nuclear war.
Khruschev does not have
the same popular following
as Hitler had in Germany.
Hitler became a hero be-
cause he rearmed Germany
in defiance of the treaty of
Versailles under the very
noses of the powerful Gin
1856 France and Britain.
Moreover, unlike Stain, Mr..
Khrushchev does not enjoy
the reputation among the
Russian people as the man
who won World War II for
them. The present dictator
played only a very small role
as a political commissar in
the days when the Russians
were fighting for their exist
ence. He is more a Musso-
lini than a Hitler. Under
these conditions, he can
hardly throw his nation and
the satellites into an all-out
war.
Who are, then, the people
in the Soviet Union who
could enjoy the popular con-
fidence if the present Drinks
manship were to be trans
lated into action? The an

CONSTANTINE BROWN
NATONeurs Point of No Return

swer is the field marshals
and generals, such as NAL
inovsky, Konev and others
who have been Russia's war
heroes and actually led mil
lions of soldiers to victory.
The men who fought un-
der their orders as well as
the young Russian soldiers
know about their prowess.
If it ever came to a show
down between the top mill
tary and the dictator, the
chances are that the armed,
forces would get the upper,
hand.
Are the Russian top sold
iers in favor of an all-out
conflict with the West? This
question, can be given only
an inferred answer based
once more on Nazi Germany.
The German generals were
against the occupation Of
the Rhineland in 1886 and
against the war in 1889; not
for humanitarian but for
practical purposes. But they
had no influence either on
Hitler or on the German
people.
Moreover, whenever mill
tary opposition to war was
strongly expressed, Hitler
pointed out to the generals
and the German people how
wrong they had been in OPP
posing the reoccupation of
the Rhineland because, they
had said, Germany was not
then militarily prepared
while France and Britain had
powerful forces. DemocracieS,
Hitler told his people, are
rotten and won't fight until
it is too late to win.
The situation is different
in Russia today. The Red
marshalS and generals are
fully aware of the present
and latent power of the West
led by the United States.
They fully approve and sup
port the present brinksman-
ship of the Red leader be-
cause so far it has paid rich
dividends and has made the
Soviet Union the most feared
power in the world. But, so
the arguments Of European
specialists go, should these
highly competent profession
al soldiers realize that Khru-
Shchev is endangering the
Soviet Union and by implica-
ton international commu-
nism through an impulsive
military action, they will try
to hold him back. And if he
proves stubborn, he may
share the fate of other Rus.

Fall Tests Set
0nA-Booster
By the Associated Press

Tests starting this fall could
determine whether nuclear
power will be used for manned
flight to the moon and back,
according to top atomic and
space officials.
DR.. Glenn T. Seaborg, chair
man of the Atomic Energy Com
mission, said nuclear propulsion
offers the potential for sup
porting space exploration and
lunar base missions.
Space Agency Administrator
James Webb told the Senate
House Atomic Energy Commit
tee yesterday that the first
moon landing is planned with
out using nuclear rockets. but
that they would be needed to
carry very heavy payloads into
distance space.
Mr.. Webb and DR.. Seaborg
agreed the outcome of reactor
tests starting in October will
bear heavily on any decision to
substitute a nuclear stage for
one or more of the chemical
rockets now planned for big
moon shot.
The Acc chief said the first
reactor tested on the ground
will use gaseous hydrogen and
that a liquid hydrogen reactor
will be tried early next year
with the first full flight test
of a nuclear rocket coming in
1866 or 1867.
Representative Price, Demo
crat Of Illinois, sought to pir
down a specific mission for nu-
clear propulsion, contendine
that it represents "our best
chance of leapfrogging the ex-
panding lead of the Soviets.
Mr.. Webb replied that Presi-
dent Kennedy's decision in May
to add money and emphasis to
the Rover nuclear rocket pro-
gram committed his agency tc
"move as rapidly as we can
but it Gid not commit us to a
specific mission for Rover"

ROME, Italy. - The next
few weeks will decide the
future Of NATO and, by
implication. that of the free
world. It all depends on the
determination of the United
States Government not to
yield to Premier Khru-
shchev's gigantic blackmail
operation.
This reporter does not want
to appear a prophet of gloom
any more than when he
wrote in his column of
November 90, 1941: "It is
feared in responsible quarters
in Washington that war may
break out in the Pacific very
soon. The earlier estimate of
high officials that a crisis
may be expected within 80,
so or 80 days has narrowed
to a few weeks even a few
days. The Japanese govern
ment's answer to the last
American note in all like
lihood will be the salvos of
her men of war" 1t hap
pened eight days later.
We are now approaching
with lightning speed the
point of no return. The pres
ent crisis does not offer the
risk of a shooting war as
much as in 1941. The danger
is in the Use of word-rattling
and half-measure tactics in
the expectation of shaking
the determination of Khru-
shchev to win a decisive,
bloodless victory in Berlin.
If we yield by compromis-
ing, say those familiar with
Mr.. Khrushchev's tactics, the
NATO alliance will lose it's
purpose. 1t will fold up, and
we will in the long run be
left alone to face the deStruc-
tive menace of international
com munism. The policy
makers in Washington should
have it clearly in mind that
international communism re-
CARDS America, not Western
Europe, as its enemy which
must be cowed.
The consequences of a
Chicken" policy are incalcu-
liable for the security Of our
own country. The loss of con-
fidence in Americas willing
ness to act in self-defense
and resist the KhruShchev
blackmail will result in a
political upheaval in Europe;
it's strongmen, De Gaulle and
Adenauer, will be forced to
give up the reins and be re-
placed by appeasers and CO.

Though Nation Is Still Highly Regarded,
Its Role as Hurmonizer Is Called Weak

ship it should in the world
today.
It's too bad that President
Kennedy has not himself
heretofore had the benefit of
actual experience in interna-
tional affairs. Two years from
now he will be doing per-
haps many of the things he
ought to be doing today. For
he will learn the hard way
that trying to harmonic diff
ferences with the Western
allies is a frustrating task and
results in the end in policies
that represent a common de-
nominator of weakness rather
than strength.
President Wilson during
World War I gave an exam
pie of leadership that might
well be repeated today. He
did not worry too much
about what his allies said or
thought about the large pro-
grams of policy that he be-
lieved should be formulated
for the postwar years. He
spoke out directly and forth
rightly. He didn't feel that
he had to consult allies on
how each paragraph of his
speeches or statements should
be worded.
Today there is a conflict
between materialism and
idealism, between adherence
to principle and a readiness
to barter with the Commu-
nists-to buy peace at the
expense of principle. The
Western allies are divided
in their concepts of what
ought to 'be done about
East Germany, for instance.
and are allowing themselves
to be pushed around on the
subject of human rights in
East Germany as well as in
East Berlin. The United
States gives an impression of
timidity in what is euphem-
istically described as caution
and restraint. But it actually
is furnishing to Nikita Khru-
shchev - as happened with
Hitler-the feeling that the
Western alliance is not as
strong as it is cracked up to
be.
Outwardly, some lip service
is being paid to the cause of
Identification of Germany.
But, under the surface, there
is fear of such a contingency.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Some impressions formed
in Europe during nearly two
months of observation there
are presente d here today.
They are derived from many
frank conversations with
heads Of government, foreign
ministers and well-informed
editors Of important news
papers abroad.
There is, first Of all, a high
regard for the United States.
Its prestige has never really
been impaired, though dis
appointments in the postwar
years have been noted and
editorial criticism at times
has been severe.
Basically the United States
is looked to for leadership,
which is somehow expected
to be perfect in form and
substance and method. The
moment American policy
seems at variance with what
highly placed officials in
other countries think it
should be, they do not hesi-
tate to express themselves
about it. Too often the news
papers reflect this dissatis-
faction, and the episodes
then become magnified be-
yond their true Importance.
There is, however, funda-
mentally a difference in view
point. European nations are
struggling for economic
equilibrium and ways and
means Of satisfying the pres
SureS for more and more vel
fare programs for their
growing populations. They
are not as strong by any
means as the United States,
nor have they its potential
resources. They have drifted
into sheer dependence on
America for military, if not
economic, support.
AS for a big war, it is
feared but everyday life
doesn't seem to be modified
because of that fear. Nor
NAL processes of development
continue, and officials,
though worried, seem con-
fident that war will be
avoided.
If this correspondent brings
back, however, one single i'm
preston about the whole
situation, it is that America
is not furnishing the leader
