Reports of Humane Feelings Contrast
With Horshness in Public Statements

his being a true believer in
the communism he cham
pionS.
In another incident a few
days ago, the Soviet Premier
said that he broke up the
Paris summit meeting in
1860 because Mr.. Eisenhower
wouldn't personally apologize
for the U-2 flights. 1t seems
incredible that any man who
claims to represent 200 mil
lion people would attempt to
stand on such a flimsy pre-"
text to prevent a peace set
tlement from being attained.
Another recent remark runs
like this: Foreigners contin-
ue to want to teach us. They
tell us, If you don't do as
we say, we will pull your ears
and we will make your ears
red.' And I say, We will get
another part of you, and how
it will burn
The Soviet Premier, in
what he says in his speeches
and offhand comments. is,
in fact, his own worst enemy.
Much more favorable views
of him and his personality
are held by responsible Of
ficials who have had the
opportunity to talk with him.
Here is an estimate which
summarizes former President
EiSenhower's impressions as
revealed by the latter to
friends:
/. Khrushchev is not a real
disciple of MarxiSm, but a
man who sees communism as
a tool which he can use to
control, if not rule, the world.
He has a deep-seated desire
to take his place in history
as the man who achieved
most for communism.
2. Khrushchev is not an
other Hitler. The Nazi die
tator was all black. Khru-
Shchev is not all black. He
has a sense of humor and is
a family man. He likes chill
dren and is popular with
them.
3. Khrushchev has humane
feelings that it is believed
would prevent him from de-
liberately starting a world
disaster. He has more than
once told some of his foreign
visitors with a show of pride
that he has never ordered
the death of a single political
offender since he took over
the top job in the Kremlin.
There are other signs of a
humane attitude which are
mentioned by Western states
men who have had occasion

knows nothing of modern
theology. Paul Tillich, and
others of today's great teach
ers, heartily would agree with
the Soviet Premier that it is
important that those religious
beliefs which are engendered
by fear of elemental forces
and which are unaware of
the forces of social oppres-
sion should be abandoned.
In both the Roman Catho-
lie and Protestant churches
there are divisions, with a
small group ciinging to the
sort of supernatural explana-
tion of religion and science
which Mr.. Khrushchev wants
rooted out of his people. But
such beliefs are held by few
er and fewer persons.
What Mr.. Khrushchev
needs is to attend a seminar
or so in any Western nation
and learn how both the
Christian and Jewish be
levers" find spiritual COM
fort and strength in the
achievements of modern SCI
ence. They are moving away
from what the brilliant Rab-
bi, William B. Silverman, has
called "the kindergarten re-
ligion" to a socially motivated
faith which serves the be-
lieving man or woman. The
essence of the Nazarene's
teaching was change and re-
form. both of man and his
environment.
Perhaps the most vivid and
helpful book, for Christian
or Jew, is Rabbi Silverman's
God Help Me-" Man is in
search of an answer-even
Mr.. Khrushchev's Soviet
man. Nor will the fact that

New York, If q show is any
kind Of success, you are all
most sure to be told there

In London. as far as I've
been able to tell, there are
always a few seats. even at
the last minute. The only

seen is the Old Vic, where
there were standees. and
even there I bought an or

hours before curtain time.

POliteness Even
Not only are there seats
available, but they're offered
to you with politeness that
borders on diffidence, as
something you might fancy
but then again might not:
it's up to you. The box office
even displays q complete
seating chart and-still more
unlikely-the ticket seller
voluntarily points out your
seat to you on the chart.
The top price usually is fl,
or about $2.80, for the, best
stall Orchestral or box seat.
Your program costs another
shilling. bringing the total
to about $2.95. For musicals
this may go as high as 81
and 5 shillings. or about
$3.65 including program.
Most performances end by
1890. They have to if there's
to be any time left to get to

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

No one apparently shared
Secretary Rusk's view that the
U. N. forces in Katanga had
been acting purely in self de-
fenSe and that the operation
should continue until the OBJ
jectives of the U. N. had been
achieved.
Basic Dilemma
In the course of the debate, it
became clear that a basic di-
lemma troubled many of the
miniSterS-the same dilemma
that has troubled officials in
New York and Washington
since the start of the Katanga
operations.
This is that the United, Ma
tions "objectives" so often re-
ferred to by those who support
its operations are confused and
in some degree, at least, quite
contradictory.
On the one hand, as both
Mr.. Ball and Mr.. Rusk re-
minded everyone yesterday
the U. N. has made it clear
again and again that its pur-
pose is not to crush the Ka-
tanga forces militarily or to
impose a political solution by
force"
On the other hand under the
terms of the Security Council
resolution of November "a the
U. N. Secretary General is au-
thorized to take vigorous ac-
ton, including the use of a
requisite measure of force. If
necessary, for the immediate
apprehension and detention
pending legal action and OF
deportation of all foreign mill
tary and paramilitary person
mel not under the United Ma
tionS command. :"
Showdown in Offing
To many people it now seems
reasonably clear that the U. N
forces in Katanga cannot carry
out the "objectives" of this
resolution without first crush
ing the Katanga forces mill
tarily. "Mercenaries" of the
Katanga army, it appears from
recent reports. now include
most of the able bodied white
men in the vicinity of Elisa
bethville. Supported by Ka-
tanga President Noise
Tshombe'S well-trained gen.
darmerie. they are not likely
to be handed over peacefully
And. in fact, all reports from
the Congo today suggest that
a full-Scale military showdown
is in the offing.
If it becomes necessary to
defeat Mr.. TShombes army
before the "mercenaries" can
be apprehended, it also seems
likely to many people that a
political solution of the Ka-
tanga problem will in fact have
been imposed by force whether

is lined up l4-to-l against
France. On the issue of the
Congo and the role of the
United Nations forces in Ka-
tanga, the council for the first
time in the history of NATO is
lined up, so far as one can tell
14-to-l against the United
States.
There is. however, Signifi-
cant difference between the
positions of the two heavily
outvoted countries.
U. S. in Weak Position
France, as one of the three
Western powers occupying Ber-
lin, is in a strong position to
block any move toward new
negotiations with the Russians
The United States, as the leader
of the alliance, is in an en-
barrassingly weak position in
calling for allout support of
the United Nations military
action which is disapproved by
an overwhelming majority of
its allies.
AS far as the public is con-
cerned. Furthermore, the issue
OF Katanga has dominated the
debate so far. The argument
over Berlin has been deliber-
ately submerged in official
secrecy in the interests of West
ern unity. Little of what has
been said in the council sessions
has been made public.
The argument over the Con-
go. on the other hand. has pro-
vided most of the meat of the
conference. Because that issue
does not involve such great
immediate dangers as those
which face West Berlin, the
objections and protests of the
ministers to the recent develop
mentS in EliSabethville are being
reported in rather rich detail.
"Unflattering Light"
Thus what United States
UnderSeCretary of State George
Ball describes as an honest
difference of opinion" has been
shown up here in Strong-and
so far as Secretary of State
RuSk is concerned-unflatter-
ing light. In yesterdays session
one minister after another rose
to second the British demand
for an immediate cease fire in
Katanga and "a return by the
U. N. to the role of pacificd-
ton an Cancellation.
Some like Belgium's Paul
Henri Spaak, emphasized the
emotion and indignation
which the U. N. action has
caused in Belgium and else
where in Europe. Others
echoed the idea of Frances
Couve de Murville that IF a
state had started the kind of
operation the United Nations
has launched in Katanga there
would have been movement of
general reprobation against it
and the Security Council would
have met already to demand
an immediate cease fire as has
been the case in the past"

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The
stock market retreated this
week under the impact of two
major forces-the Berlin crisis
and fear of an automobile in
dustry strike. 1t was the first
market decline in five weeks.
The Associated Press average
of 6 stocks fell 2.9O to 253.2O.
The Dow Jones industrial aver
age fell 6.84 to 1870.
Prices broke sharply on
Wednesday and Thursday as
the Communists put the
squeeze on Berlin and contract
talks between the United Auto
Workers and the Big 3 auto
makers begged down with the
three-year contracts nearing
their expiration date, August
81. Wall streeters who envison
a booming economy if there is
labor peace in Detroit, began
to have the filters.
Some brokers said that if
Berlin and Detroit had not pro-
vided the excuse" for a selloff,
something else would have.
Traders took profits on a

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Atlantic Free Trade Bnidqe?
BY SYLVIA PORTER

A United States of Europe is
in the process of creation. 1t
may become the mightiest in
dustrial and economic power
on the globe.
Its member nations eventual
ly will number 10, its consum-
ers will total 300 million, and
in size, production and poten-
tial it will dwarf both the So
Wet Union and us.
Among these nations trade
walls will be torn down and
goods will move duty-free
across the borders of the
United States of Europe. Just
as goods move duty-free across
the borders Of the United States
of America. Around themselves,
the members will erect a tar
iff wall that will place goods
coming into the United States
of Europe from non-members
at a price disadvantage.
In the past two columns. I've
emphasized the advantages to
us of a united, powerful and
prosperous Europe, but hope
I also have put over the point
that this emerging union will
be tougher market to pene-
trate with our goods.
What to do About 1t
What, then, might we do
about it?
We might become at least
a limited partner in the Euro
pean Common Market.
We might eventually become
a full-fledged member of the
Common Market so that we
can compete from within.
We might ultimately create
with our friends across the At
lantic one great free trade area.
If this were the wild-eyed
dreaming of a few one-world-
ers, a report on their thinking
wouldn't be worth a line of
space. It's certainly not diff
cult to imagine the response to
this of distressed American in
dustrialists and protectionist
congressman working now for
raising, not lowering, our tariff
walls! It's easy to figure the
reaction of American manufac-
turers who are painfully aware
OF the competition efficient
European producers with their
much lower wage scales can
give us. Nor does it take much
knowledge to shudder at the
proportions of the special prob
lem we have with the Latin
and South American nations.
The fact is, though, that this
