A new and far more cas-
ually personal diplomatic
link between Britain and the
United States is now being
prepared, in the thin person
Of David Ormsby-Gore.
Sir Harold Caccia, the
Queens Ambassador here
since late 1856. is going home
to become permanent Under
secretary at the foreign Of
flee. When his tour here ends
there will end also a long
and friendly, but also highly
proper and correct" rela-
tionship between British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan's government and the
old Eisenhower administra-
ton.
Mr.. Macmillan made a
good deal of his political
success in England on the
fact that he had been a war
time associate of Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower. From
first to last he was a sort of
British Citizen for EiSen-
hover"
The Prime Minister never
made any bones that he was
"an Eisenhower man." in
much the spirit of those
Democrats here who became
Eisenhower ocrats."
Never had a British leader
so frankly hitched so much
of his own political career to
an Americans friendship.
But in diplomacy the
Eisenhower administration
played by the old rules. So
while Mr.. Macmillan himself
could pick up the telephone
anytime and speak to Mr..
Eisenhower personally, the

Prelude to Kennedy-Khrushchev Talk
Marked by q CIumpdown on News

He has spoken with grace.
humor and authority. His
remarks have been unerring-
ly directed to the point of re-
assuring France that the
United States remains its
friend and that the world be-
longs to those who believe in
freedom.
1t is unfortunately typical
in this era of clear and pres
ent danger that if nothing
bad happens at an interna-
tional conference it is called
a success. Thus it appears
certain. barring a last.minute
breakdown, that Paris will be
said to have gone well.
In point of fact, it has gone
about as expected, with a
maximum of personal eX-
posure of the attractive new
American President and very
little said about the issues.

More Casually Personal Diplomatic Role
Seen for Ormsby-Gore in Wushinqton

British Ambassador here. Sir
Harold Caccia, was expected
to transact British business
on the whole only through
the Secretary of State-"at
his own level" as they say
in the diplomatic trade.
There was, moreover. a
certain fittingneSs in this.
For Sir Harold is strictly a
foreign office type, a career
diplomat. Mr.. Ormsby- Gore
is a different fellow alto
gether. He is not a foreign
office type. Basically he is a
politician, a Conservative
member of Parliament from
Coventry.
And then, at 43 as against
Sir Harold's SIS, Mr.. Ormsby-
Gore is not only in President
Kennedy's generation but is
also a friend from way back
OF the President and half-a-
dozen other Kennedys. He
was a boy growing up in Eng
land while the President him
self was a boy living there,
when his father. Joseph P.
Kennedy. was American Am
bassador in Franklin Roose-
velt'S time.
There is also the fact that
the Prime Minister himself
has no Jack and Harold"
footing with Mr.. Kennedy, as
he had an Ike and Harold"
footing with Mr.. Eisenhower.
Thus-though in such deli
cate matters no official on
either side of the water would
dream Of uttering 1.-THE
fact is that Mr.. Ormsby Gore
will undoubtedly have an easy
access to President Kennedy's
private ear, much as Mr..

sibility for the conduct of
the operation. The implica-
ton is plain that Mr.. Eisen-
hover thinks it was unwise
for the present administra-
ton to start blaming the
military chiefs and thus terd
to weaken public confidence
in them.
1t was in domestic affairs
generally, however, that the
former President EXPRESSED
his most vehement criticism.
He said:
What, exactly, do we
stand for here at home? We
Republicans see Mr.. Ameri-
can in his high station as a
free, self-reliant, proud in
dividual. We are convinced
that he can plan his own life
and spend his own money
better than some possibly
benevolent bureaucrat can
in his behalf. Any action
that weakens any citizens
self-respect is wrong. That
is the reason we oppose the
ever-increasing concentration
of power in Washington.
"All agree it is criminal for
one man to steal from an
other. But overpowerful gov
ernment can rob the in
dividual just as surely-only
the scale is grander, the
stakes are greater, and the
loss far more tragic. For what
is stolen by paternalistic gov
ernment is that precious
compound Of initiative, inde-
pendence and self-respect
that distinguishes a man
from the mob, a person from
a number, a freeman from
the slave.
I'VE Republicans take our
stand for the individual!
I'VE will not barter local
and State responsibility for
Capitalization, nor will we
trade a little government in
tervention for a little hand
out.
I'VE consider it sheer ar
rogance to believe that people
in government know better
for the people than they know
for themselves.
I'VE are, therefore, against

It's always a significant

Mr.. Eisenhower used the i'm
plicit rather than the explicit
style of expression, but it
was not difficult to discern
his meaning.
Many people, as a matter
Of fact. who supported the
Republican ticket have been
wondering why the Republi-
cans in Congress have not
been more vocal and more
pointed in their criticisms.
The speech of former PreSi-
dent Eisenhower was digni-
fled but nonethelesS pene-
trating. Here is a passage, for
instance, where the inference
is clear. though the words
are restrained:
II was proud when, in re-
cent crises, members of our
party did not attempt to
criticize, condemn or belittIe
those in authority. This we
did. even though some
seemed disposed falsely to
blame us. We did not Scurry

goat We decry anyones ef-
forts to do so. Here 1 pay my

1t was the first league loss
for the Barons and dropped
them out of a tie for first place
in the Bi-County league. Despite
the fact that B-CC had no hits,
the Barons had runners in scor-
ing position several times in the
close game.
They had men on second and
third as result of walks in the
first inning with nobody out but
