UNITED NATIONS. N. Y:
There was an almost audible
sigh Of general relief in the
halls Of the United Nations,
and In the delegates lounge
o few fervent thank heav-
enS," when word came the
Kennedy administration Is to
have q policy Of secret d.
plomacy.
The new direction was an
nounced in connection with
the recent talk by Ambassa-
dor TIL ompson with Mr..
Khrushchev. Secretary Rusk
said there would be no press
conference or statement con-
cerning it. He also let 1t be
known this would be the
course In the future.
President Kennedy hopes
that some OF the preliminary
diplomatic chores Of the new
administration can be car.
rted out as IL normal, by the
diplomats. And this surely Il
not an unreasonable atti-
tude. He has by no means
closed the door to high level
meetings. But. when, and Il
they come, they win not be
publicity circuses nor mere
soundings for divergent pro-
paganda causes.
It is almost impossible for
. head Of o state to prepare
for such Q meeting without
neglecting everything else. It
Is perhaps more difficult for
0 President Of the United
States, because he does not
have the continuity of staff
work which Is to be found In
Great Britain. for example,

US. Return to Secret Negotiation Policy
Is Welcomed at United Nations

or In one Of the totalitarian
countries where there also
are fewer changes in the top
levels Of foreign office
bureaucracy. The American
presidency is an astonishingly.
dismayingly. and gratifyingly
personal sort Of operation.
To put 1t aside. or give 1t
half an ear for three or four
months while preparing for
a summit meeting, is not easy
and almost certainly guar
antees an inadequately pre-
pared man at the session.
The decision to maintain
decent secrecy about the Dip
lomatic exchange is long
overdue. There win be minor
complaints from some news
media, but not too much.
And none Of this can be
strongly argued. The facts
are that, for at least eight
years, we have had diplomacy
by publicity. by the processes
Of news leaks" and much
use Of the shaken finger,
Our European allies have
long been distressed by this
American habit Of rushing
into print with our diplo-
macy. The fact Is that any
measures requiring the pre-
cesses, or skills. Of diplomacy
are slow to come to fruition.
They are at best q business Of
trial and error, Of starts and
Withdrawals. Of acceptance
and rejection. This cannot be
done under O spotlight.
We ought to be convinced
Of our error In this by the

a platform quite q distance
from the first row Of seats.
At the Roosevelt news con-
ferences the reporters had to
stand while the President sat
in his chair behind the huge
presidential desk. The only
exception was made for the
late radio commentator Earl
Goodwin who had q seat
placed next to the Presidents
desk. The reporters gathered
close to the President and
until the Secret Service men
announced "all in" there was
bantering, teasing and joking
with the President, himself.
The conferences were usually
joyful occasions. and FDR
never missed a chance to
harpoon his opponents or
make q crack on himself.
In the summer Of 1899
when the war clouds were
gathering rapidly over Europe

necessity Of Americans tight
ening their belts and giving
up many things they usually
enjoyed in order to help the
national defense. II myself.

Mr.. Stevenson said 1t would

than before by saying:

that he (Mr. Kennedy would

portunity to get acquainted

Mr.. Stevenson spoke. Mr.. Rusk
held the door open, at least q
little, to Q summit meeting OF

Union.
"One does what the national
interest requires" Mr.. Rusk
said. II don't want US to get
frozen In any position"
AS Mr.. Stevenson seemed to
view q Kennedy -Khrushchev

nature Of an informal get
together. perhaps simply q
courtesy call Of one on the

have taken q series Of defeats
in the publicity prize ring.
Mr.. Krushchev has licked US
every time. or almost 30. Vice
President Nixon handled
himself well in the so-called
kitchen debate in Moscow o
summer ago. but this was not
given over to diplomacy. It
was confined to washing ma
chimes, the American stand
ard Of living. and whether
or not United States ladies
did not waste too much time
in kitchens when they should
leave those to experts and
themselves be out doing pro-
ductive labor. But. otherwise,
Mr.. K has won all the head
lines. On Mr.. Krushchev's
last appearance here he used
the upper balcony Of his res
idence to throw raw meat to
the wolves or to propagan-
die his presence and position.
He kept 1t up day after day
while the TV cameras turned
and reporters put down notes
or telephoned his latest
words. It was one Of those
SatuInalia's Of propaganda
and Mr.. K beat Us TO o fraz-
zle. Only o glutton for pun
ishment would want any
more Of that. Certainly diplo-
macy cannot be part Of such
goings-on.
At any rate. the United
Nations, which Is confronted
with the Congo and Q move
by Nasser to outdo other
African rivals, Is pleased with
this change by Mr.. Kennedy.
Diplomacy will be handled by
diplomats and not by TV

Georgia Votes
Local Control

ATLANTA. Ca. Jan. % (AP) .
The Georgia Legislature
moved swiftly yesterday to re-
place the States rigid school
segregation laws with a local
control plan designed to. hold
integration to q minimum.
Action was completed-ex-
cept for correction Of a typo
graphical error-on three bills
and a proposed constitutional
amendment prepared by Gov.
Ernest Vandiver. The Cover
nor is expected to receive the
proposals for signature the
first Of the week.
The measures represent a
shift from the school closing
philosophy Of recent years and
place emphasis instead on guar
anteeing freedom Of associa-
ton.
Follows Court Order
The Legislature acted shortly
after two Negroes were ad-
mitted for the first time to the
University Of Georgia on Fed
eral Court order. A Federal
Court also has directed the At
lanta public schools start de-
segregation by September.
At Memphis, Tenn, John
McFerren, 36-year-old unoffi-
cial mayor Of Tent City" was
asked to resign as chairman OF
the Fayette County Civic and
Welfare League but he said the
action was illegal.
Mr.. McFerren played an ac-
tive part in the Negro voter
registration drive that resulted
in a Justice Department suit
charging white leaders in
nearby Fayette County with
economic conspiracy against
Negro voters.
The request that Mr.. Meier
rem resign was made by Scott
Franklin. president Of the
league. But Mr.. McFerren said
only the board of directors can
name a new chairman.
Shelter for Negroes
"Tent City" was envisioned
as q shelter for 800 Negro fam
lilies that the league said faced
eviction from their share
cropper homes because they
registered to vote.
However. Federal court or
ders barring immediate evic-
tions took the pressure off.
And "Tent City" remains a
struggling line Of 13 family
sized tents on one Negro farm
near Somerville, with 5 at an
other.
In Brownsville, Tenn, Phil
lip H. Savage Of Baltimore, q
field secretary of the National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People, was
convicted Of threatening a
breach Of the peace and
fined $50.
He was arrested while inter-
viewing Negroes lined UP to
register as voters. An appeal
was planned.

Ed Murrow Expected
To Be USIA Director
BY the Associated Press

Edward r. Murrow Of CHS
News repeatedly has been
chosen by President Kennedy
to head the United States In
formation Agency.
Mr.. Murrow is well known to
television viewers as the con-
ductor Of Person to Person"
and "See It Now" His trade
marks were a furrowed brow, a
deep voice and a lighted Gig
arctic.
White House Press Secre-
tary Pierre Salinger declined
comment on the report, but it
was carried yesterday on a
CHS news program from New
York and was confirmed by
authoritative sources here.
Mr.. Kennedy is known to
place great Importance on the
USIA as a means Of presenting
Americas image abroad. He
criticized its operations as in
adequate during the election
campaign.
Mr.. Murrow, SO, has a long
background in radio and tele-
vision news. He joined CHS
in 1885 and covered much Of
World War II in London for
the network. For many years
after the war he had a regular
daily news program.
He served from 1945-47 as a
vice president and director of
public affairs for CHS, re-
signing with the comment:
I'm not the executive type"
He then went back to being a
CHS news correspondent.
Tito Okays Kennan
Diplomatic sources, mean

has sent word that Marshal
Tito would be very pleased by
the appointment of George F.
Kennan as United States Am
bassador to Belgrade.
There has been no formal
announcement of the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Kennan. Govern
ments first receive formal ap-
proval from the host nation
before sending an envoy.
Mr.. Kennan, a former Am
bassador to Moscow and chief
Of the State Department policy
planning staff. is credited with
conceiving the containment
policy to hold communism

From the White House came
only this comment by White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger: "The President has
said he would make q decision

known whether Mr.. Khrushchev
was coming"
Mr.. Salinger. talking to re-
porters here after Mr.. Steven
sons news conference, said he
believed the new United States
Ambassador to the United Ma
tions was voicing strictly his
own opinion on the Presidents
attitude toward seeing Mr..
Khrushchev.
Kennedy Noncommittal
II will stand on what the
President said at his press con-
ference Wednesday night" Mr..
Salinger said.
At that time. Mr.. Kennedy
was noncommittal.
When q reporter asked how
Mr.. Kennedy felt about Mr..
Stevenson's speaking out as he
he did, Mr.. Salinger declined
to amplify his earlier remarks.
Other Washington officials
repeatedly were surprised by
Mr.. Stevenson's remarks. Still,
they offered no contradictory
comment. Secretary Of State
Dean Rusk had nothing to say
about IL Immediately.
At the, United Nations, some
observers regarded the Presi-
dents statement Wednesday

minder Of 1t as efforts to avoid
any appearance that Mr.. Ken
nedy was issuing an open invi-
tation to Mr.. Khrushchev.
