A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
Let us pray that strength and
courage abundant be given to all
who work for a world of reason
and understanding y. that
the good that lies in every
mans heart may day by day be
magnifed - that men will
come to see more clearly not that
which divides them, but that
which un1teS them ~ that eaCn
hour may bring us closer to a
final victory, not of nation over
nation, but of man over his own
evils and weaknesses ~ that the
true spirit ofthis Christmas Season
its joy, its beauty, its hope,
and above all its abiding faith
may live among us ~ that the
blessings ofpeace be ours-the
peace to build and grow, to live
in harmony and sympathy with
others, and to plan for the
future with confidence.

President Urges
Invitations to
Foreign Students

President Kennedy has urg-
ed all Americans who want to
do something for their country
to. invite foreign students into
their homes.
The President made his sug-
gestion yesterday in greeting
a score of students from 20
foreign countries at the White
House as a part of Foreign
Students Day activities in
Washington.
He said those from other
lands studying here will 90
back home to become leaders of
their countries and he hopes
they will get to know more
about the United States and its
people while here.
Recalling that he gets many
letters from people asking what
they can do for their country,
he. said it would be an import
ant service for Americans to
make an effort to get to know
foreign students in their COM
munities and show them the
better side of our country"
while making them realize that
they are extremely welcome
here.

Likelihood Seen of Unspecified Factors
Prompting Talks With the President

as not altogether to the lik-
ing of Secretary of State
RuSk.
From sources close to the
United States mission to the
U. NJ, it is learned that Mr.
Stevenson at first clearly IA
vored the admission of Red
China to the U. NJ. and that
as late as March of this
year he gave his own staff
the impression that he
wanted a change in Amer
ica's policy. He is reported
to have felt that admission
of Red China to the U. N.
was inevitable and that the
United States should find a
graceful way to bring this
about. But the idea back
fired in Congress. as Dem
ocrats and Republicans
Joined in passing a resolu-
tion reaffirming opposition
to the admission of Red
China to the U. N.
After this, Mr.. Stevenson
is reported to have become
more reluctant to discuss
these matters with his staff,
and a belief has prevailed
in New York that he has
been at odds with the Pres
ident on the issue but was
maintaining nevertheless a
discreet silence. This gave
rise to rumblings in the U. N.
mission that American policy
was not being clearly defined.
The President spent a good
deal more time last Saturday
and Sunday comforting with
Mr.. Stevenson than has been
his custom, and, coincident-
ally, there appeared news
dispatches about the possi-
bility of Mr.. StevenSon's en-
try into the Illinois contest.
Just why Mr.. Stevenson
would wish to give up a post
of worldwide Importance to
become the junior Senator
from Illinois was not clear to
many of his friends. It was
suggested. however-prior to
his deciSion-that from a
political standpoint a victory
for Mr.. Stevenson in No
vember, 1862, would be widely
Evening star., 1961-12-06
Stevenson Staying at u. N.

interpreted as a victory for
Mr.. Kennedy, too.
There was always, on the
other hand. the possibility
that Mr.. Stevenson might
take a licking in the 1862
election. and this would not
have helped the prestige of
the Kennedy administration.
AS a tactician in politics,
Mr.. Stevenson has not been
rated too highly. An exam
pie Of a humble that may
have cost him many votes
in the 1856 presidential con-
test is this extract from a
speech delivered on the eve
of the election when he said:
Your choice tomorrow will
not be of a President for
tomorrow. 1t will be of the
manor men-who will serve
you as President for the next
four years. And distasteful
as this matter Is, I must say
bluntly that every piece of
scientific evidence we have,
every lesson of history and
experience, indicates that a
Republican victory tomorrow
would mean that Richard M.
Nixon would probably be
President of this country
within the next four years.
Il say frankly, as a Cit
izen more than candidate,
that I recoil at the prospect
Of Mr.. Nixon as custodian
OF this Nations future, as
guardian of the hydrogen
bomb. as representative of
America in the world, as
Commander-in-Chie of the
United States armed forces.
DiStasteful as it is. this is
the truth, the central truth,
about the most fateful de-
cision the American people
have to make tomorrow. I
have full confidence in that
decision"
Five years have passed
since Mr.. Stevenson deliv-
cred that speech. Not only
did Mr.. Eisenhower serve out
his term, but the American
people came close to selecting
Richard Nixon as their Pres
ident at the end of Mr.. Els
enhower's second four-year
term. It's risky even in pol
itics to try to predict the
life span of anybody.

DAVID LAWRENCE

There's more than meet.
the eye in the newspaper re-
ports Of two long conferences
last week end between Pres
ident Kennedy and Adlai
Stevenson. United States
Ambassador to the United
Nations.
Washington has been buzz
ing with stories that Mr..
Stevenson confided to friends
recently that he is not in
sympathy with the United
States policy toward Red
China. even though he fol-
lows the administrations line
in his public addresses.
On top of this came the
speculation that Mr.. Stew
enson might want to run for
the United States Senate
next year against Sen
ator DirkSen, Republican of
Illinois. leader of his party
in the Senate.
So the big questions were
these: Did President Ken
nedy possibly want to replace
Mr.. Stevenson with someone
else in the all-important
U. N. post and was the build
up of stories about the Ill
inois senatorial contest a
means to ease Adlai out
gracefully? Or was it a means
Of ironing out differences
between the President and
Mr.. Stevenson which culmin-
ated in the announcement
that Mr., Stevenson would
not run for Senator?
III looks as II the latter
question was the crucial one.
1t was answered by the Pres
ident himself as he an
nounced yesterday his salts
faction over Mr.. Stevenson's
decision. Mr.. Kennedy said
he had expressed to Mr..
Stevenson the hope that "he
would continue at the United
Nations and play an expanded
role in the making and exc
cution of our foreign policy"
There has been a lot of
talk around here about the
allegedly independent course
that Mr.. Stevenson follows
