But the great point is that
all these peevish reactions

Khrushchev Is Viewed as Withdrawing
Ultimotum Weapon on Berlin Issue

Mr.. KhruShchev became con-
WINGED that he cannot deal
lightly with the American
viewpoint or brush it aside
and Immediately sign a peace
treaty with East Germany.
The formulating Of such a
pact, moreover. has more
meaning than appears on the
surface. For to sign a peace
treaty between the Soviets
and East Germans means the
end and not the beginning of
negotiations" with the West.
II. for instance. the Soviet
treaty were signed, there
would be nothing further to
negotiate with Moscow. 1t
would imply that everything
had been left for the Allies
to settle with the puppet
government of East Ger
many. The Soviet Govern
meat would then be taking
itself out Of the parleys al
together, and whatever hopes
it had for other concessions"
or new arrangements con-
corning, for instance. the
Polish boundary, would have
to be abandoned.
So the incident confirms
the belief that prolonged ne
gotiations are in prospect,
and that the Russians aren't
going to throw away their
trump card by signing a peace
treaty with East Germany
until they have exhausted
every opportunity to negoti-
ate settlements favorable to
them.
What probably happened is
that when Mr.. Gromyko re-
turned to Moscow he report
ed that President Kennedy
and Secretary Rusk were
firm in their determination
to resist any change in the
status of West Berlin so far
as rights hitherto granted
the Western Allies are con-
cerned and that the only
hope lay in further talks. IN
doubtedly. the emergence of
some differences of opinion
among the'Western allies en-
couraged Moscow to postpone
any definitive action on the

Reported Differences Among Allies

The Soviet Union some
times shows sounder respect

does the West. itself.
This ironical fact is again

dangerous nonsense =. and
one which this correspondent,
is able to say is deeply
troubling to President Ken
nedy and to Republican
leaders alike. This is the al
most constant spread Of ex-
cited reports Of fundamental
differences within the West.
The British are presented
as furious at the French: the
French as disguised with the
United States, the Germans
as fearing a ~sell-out" by
their allies. But all these re-
ports, inevitable in a free So
ciety, should be most heavily
qualified. They spring from

DAVID LAWRENCE

= President Kennedy, in be-
half Of the United States, has
won his first victory in the
''cold war" When he met
with Premier Khrushchev in
Vienna last June, Mr.. Ken
nedy said no "ultimatum"
had been presented to him.
Later it was disclosed that
the Soviet Premier had left
a memorandum with the
President which was widely
interpreted as an ultimatum
that before the end of this
year the Soviets would sign a
peace treaty with East Ger
many abrogating. the four
power agreement signed after
the close of World War II.
But now the Soviet Premier
announces that the plan for
signing a peace treaty with
East Germany will not be
carried out this year and will
be postponed. AS so often
happens in diplomacy. the
Premier decided to confirm
Mr.. Kennedy's earlier inter-
probation of the Vienna con-
ference because it now seems
expedient to do so.
This may sound like an
unimportant detail, and per-
hapS it is no proof Of any
fundamental modification of
the Soviet viewpoint on the
main issues of the current
controversy over Berlin. But
it is significant. neverthe-
less. of a change in the
timing. 1t can only mean
that Mr.. Kennedy's firm po-
sition has been duly taken
into account in Moscow and
that all the words in the
Presidents speech to the
U. N. and in bis private con-
versations with Soviet For
eign Minister Gromyko here
really did take effect.

A Kennedy Score in Cold War?

East German peace treaty on
the theory that nothing
would be lost and that there
was perhaps something to be
gained by first letting the
Western allies argue the is
sues out among themselves.
What stimulates a feeling
Of satisfaction here is that,
despite Premier Khrushchev's
big talk about the Soviet plan
to test the largest megaton
bomb ever developed, he is
not making any moves that
indicate he will really use
nuclear weapons to force the
Allies to agree to his views IN
the problem of Berlin. In a
broad sense. the whole world
can derive the inference that,
while talk of a big nuclear
war still continues, it has not
been given any real impetus
by the speeches made or the
events occurring on either
side of the Iron Curtain.
When one, therefore, con-
cludes that President Ken
nedy has won a significant
victory In staying the hand
of Premier Khurshchev, it is
important to note that this
was brought about by a
remarkable display of unity
inside the United States. Not
only have both political par
ties supported firmness as the
Nations policy, but public
opinion polls have reflected
the refusal Of the American
people to be bluffed or intim-
idated by repeated mention
of the horrors of war. In.
stead. the people have talked
considerably about building
"fallout" shelters and have
indicated that, If war comes,
they will face up to its
realities.
Under these circumstances,
1t would seem logical to re-
cord that the Presidents
policy Of firmness. coupled
with a sense of restraint and
a willingness to 60 on talk
ing, has had a favorable
sequel - Mr.. Khrushchev is
now putting the "ultimatum"
idea on the shelf and perhaps
it will stay there indefinitely.

up to Mr.. Khrushchev, not
over how to give in.
But the true heart of the
problem lies in even deeper
human factors. All should
bear in mind certain funda-
mental truths about the al
lance.
Item: Any British gov
eminent in any crisis will
seem to be peering about for
rainbows: to be apparently
soft" But all this is mis-
leading. as the world should
remember from the Second
World War. Neville Cham
berlain appeased Hitler al
most beyond belief-but the
same Neville Chamberlain
then hurled Britain into the
maelstrom Of war.
The British always talk q
poor fight. but always fight a
good one. 1t is simply their
nature to dicker, to procras-
tinate-but then to go in all
the way, and without ever
looking back. They are al
ways exasperating to the
American temperament; but
they are always there when
the time comes.
Item: The French govern
ment Of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle may seem unduly
tough; but for this there is a
human reason Of special
poignance. The French feel
a buried private humiliation
at Frances largely futile role
in the last war. 1t is not that
Gen de Gaulle is bluffing at
all when he talks a good
fight. But. he is more belli-
cose than is always wise
which especially annoys the
phlegmatic British - for he
cannot forget the old stain
on Frances military honor.

DORIS FLEESON

Members Of the Republican
National Committee will meet
here soon to receive sugges-
tions on how it can retrieve
the party's fortunes in the
Nations largest cities. These
population centers, except for
two Eisenhower victories. now
regularly hand the Presi-
dency and control Of Con-
gresS to the Democrats.
One of the committees
ADLER members, Ray Bliss Of
Ohio. is in charge of the new
study. 1t was instigated,
after Richard Nixon's mar
row defeat, by Gov. Rockefel-
Ter Of New York, who pointed
out that it took only a few
cities to overcome the votes
Of a whole cluster Of States.
The flight to the cities
continues and reapportion-
ment as dictated by the 1860
census underlines the politi-
cal potential Of the shift.
The Supreme Court, once
reluctant to join the fight to
make all voters equal in fact,
Is giving sympathetic con-
sideration to a new effort to
compel the dominant rural
power Of State legislatures to
give ground.
Mr.. Bliss showed himself
to be a capable technician
when he pushed Ohio into
the Nixon column at the last
minute, much to President
kennedy'S chagrin. He will
know how to set forth the
facts.
What will be interesting is
whether he is ready to chal-
lenge the conservative course
Of Republicans in Congress
who coalesce with Southern
Democrats to defeat the So
cial. economic and school
programs demanded by city
jewellers. Unless the party
acts decisively to change its
image in such fields, organi-
zation charts and doorbell
ringing will be a waste of
time.
Democrats acknowledge the
Importance of the civil rights
issue in a symbolic and moral
sense all over the Nation.
But they are satisfied that
the record of their party in
leading the social and eco
nomic advance Of the less
privileged is where those city
votes come from.
A text Is at hand, 1t so
happens. for a Republican
effort to help the cities and
so win their attachment. 1t
is DR.. James B. Conant's
"Slums and Suburbs" DR..
Conant, an eminent chemist,
has been president Of Har-
ward and was Ambassador to
Germany during the occupa-
ton.
He warns on the basis Of
long and intensive study that
the schools in the slums Of
the Nations 10 largest cities
might easily become dead
ends to disaster. They suffer,
he contends, from unemploy-
ment, unrealistic school pro-
grams and discrimination by
employers and labor unions.
The Conant diagnosis is a
telling indictment of the
New Deal-Fair Deal and New
Frontier failure to carry on
ever more effectively the re-
forms to which 1t gives al
legiance. Republicans could
not hope for more damaging
ammunition to hurl at the
Kennedy administration next
year.
