Russian Believed Seeking to Split Allies
By DEALING Directly With President

Soviet Premier KhruShchev
relies on information re-
ceived from his official and
unofficial agents in the
United States to the effect
that he will have the best
chance to put over his plan
for coexistence with the
United States under the ad-
miniStration Of President
Kennedy. He is doing his ut
most to inveigle us into BIZ
lateral conversations in the
hope that in this manner he
will create q further schism
among the Western allies by
dealing directly with the
American Chief Executive.
While, according to re-
ports. Mr.. Kennedy Is eau
tious about the forthcoming
negotiations with the Red
dictator. o number Of ad-
visors who in the past have
been, advocating eoexistence
and disarmament-by ex-
ample, II necessary-are
enthusiastic over the willing
ness Of Mr.. Khrushchev to
resume peace talks with the
United States. For the time
being such talks conform
with the views Of Mr.. Ken
nedy. who wants the pre-
liminaries conducted through
the usual diplomatic cham
nels at AMBASSADOR level.
But Mr.. Khrushchev Is ex-
pected to arrive in New York
some time in March, when
he will insist on being given
the opportunity to pay his
respects" to the new Ameri-
can President. 1t Is in this
manner. according to in
formed sources, that he ex-

NIT conversations.

may refuse to divulge.

may give 1t an artificiality

which will open the door to

ing and naturally, If the Re-
publicanSsare assailed in such

sent their rebuttals. Former
Vice President Nixon Is the
titular leader OF the Repub-
lican Party and the natural
choice to answer any at
tacks made in presidential
press conferences. If he de-
clines, then Republican lead
ers in the Senate or House
would be logical for the task.
But the American people
would prefer a rest from pol
itics and political campaign
ing. and it will be up to
President Kennedy to make
his press conferences in
formative and objective with
out using them as q forum
for political debate in which
the side attacked is not
present to give its version Of
the argument.

that given this atmosphere
Of conciliation he could

1t Is academic to argue at
this point whether the means

It Is not often that the

may.
The Soviets are pushing
hard to have more Of their
nationals named to U. N.
posts. They have asked to be
able to fill 50 key posts, and
this is likely and not with
out some logic. 1t Is inevitable
that the United States should
have more persons employed
In the large staff for the
reason the U. N. is located In
this country. The Soviets
have filled only A posts with
their people. and the United
States has 361. This Is ex-
planned in substantial meas
ure by Russia's refusal to
follow the rules in submitting
personnel specialists for ap-
pointment. Recruitment for
the U. N. Is based on merit
as well as on geography. TIE
Communists wish to bypass the

There also is growing pres

countries to have more of

The United States argument
that efficiency should be the
primary test is a sound one,
but. 1t has less and less
weight with those countries
which want the jobs given on
q basis Of national interests
and political. ideologies. This
also is contrary to the at
tempt Of the founders as

Effectiveness of Texans Leadership

The Kennedy adininistra-

the membership Of the Rules

practical reason that the ef-
fectiveness Of his House
leadership now and In the
future has been jeopardfzed.
What happens to q leader

In the House only two years

hover majority dwindle

available to balance off the

DAVID LAWRENCE

Off-the-cuff government
through impromptu answers
at press conferences. with all
its risks to the conduct Of
International affairs, has
been frequently condemned
during preceding admins
trations as an undesirable
practice. The press-confer-
ence ~idea. nevertheless, has
been steadily enlarged to the
point that President Ken
nedy now conducts sessions
with the newsrnen as q show
on live television.
> II the President Of the
United States has something
important to say to the
world. there's no reason why
he shouldn't take time to
formulate o carefully worded
statement which has been

Secretary of State and his
other advisers, including per-
haps key members Of Con-
gress. But in q press confer

so that they could offer their
own suggestions and perhaps
;. notifications. For America
cannot play the game alone
1T is dependent on the good
will Of the Western Allies.
There are signs that PreSi-
dent Kennedy would like to
modify some Of the past prac-
tices in diplomacy. Thus, for
i instance. the word has al
ready gone forth that the
. new administration doesn't
like summit conferences but
: wants to talk to the Soviet
government through the am
basSadors at Moscow and
Washington. It also has been
intimated that the State De-
. partment will not give out

A good start has been made

managed to say to q Senate
committee that Red China will
almost certainly be voted into
the United Nations within
the year. Members of the
committee looked grim, but
they accepted the statement
without exploding.
The hearing on Mr.. Bowles'
nomination was a very sensi-
BILE and educational expert
ence. revealing what might
be called a new sophistica-
ton in the Senate. Mr.. Bowles
could. for example. say that
our policies in the East
should be explored in q broad
sense and not in the narrow
one Of tying our future en-
tirely to Chang Kai-shek as
a man. The questioning Of
Mr.. Bowles was skillfully di-
rected by Senators Fulbright
and Sparkman, but, even so.
none Of the hostile oppose
ton emitted any smoke or
fire. This could not have
happened even a year ago.

is. frankly. discouraging. No
one feels too much assurance
about the future of it, but
this Is perhaps too depressed
a view. 1t is one which has

Kennedy Held Risking Embarrassing
Allies With on-the-Spot Statements

The point has been made that
only In this way can progress
be made.
But the same rule might
well apply to the answering
Of questions on foreign policy
at a press conference. No
President is capable of doing
as good a job in stating his
views off-the-cuff as he could
If he had time to write out
his answers and consult his
advisers. After all, the stakes
are too high for any risks
to be taken.
On domestic matters. the
case is different. A President
can cause embarrassment to
his official family If he states
q view divergent from one
of his cabinet officers. but
the damage can as q rule be
quickly reduced by later
Qualifications.
The most significant change
that President Kennedy has
made thus far in relation to
the press conferences Is to
permit them to be televised
and broadcast instantly as
they happen. Under the pre-
ceding administration. press
conferences were held in the
morning hours and tape re-
cordings were made. When
necessary. however. certain
parts or sentences were elm
mated from the transcripts
for the press and from the
tapes for later use by radio
and TV. With the press con-
ference going on the air as it
takes place, there is. Of course,
no opportunity for any edit
ing or revision. Mr.. Kennedy
showed In his first confer
ence that he has confidence
in his own ability to say ex-
actly what he wants to say
and that he Is apparently not
disturbed by the chances Of
serious error. It was on the
whole q creditable perform
ance.
Eventually Mr.. Kennedy
may refuse to discuss any Of
the delicate questions. and
his answers will not be salts
flying to the reporters present.
The press has maintained
