proved disconcerting-that
and the color scheme.
At the windows were
heavy curtains of royal blue
velour; on the floor was q
bright red Oriental-type rug,
and the lamp on the table
was sea green. There were
signs in four languages
Russian, German, French
and Italian-no English. A
knowledge Of French and a
few Russian phrases helped
us to find out about the
drinking water. The porter
explained that drinking
water was in a rather ornate
cut glass decanter above the
wash basin faucets which
said: Eau non-potable.
Marian Water
1t wasn't of much import,
however, as we asked for
Marian, the bubbling bottled
water of Russia. But the
porter answered: "Vfipori,"
meaning we could get it in
Viipori, but not on the
train. No meals we're served
on the day-long trip, but ex-
cellent Russian tea in silver
holders with handles and
paper-thin glasses was
served constantly.
The train stops at Viipori
for 40 minutes. and passen-
gers may go into the new
station built by the Rus
slams. Like all of the sta
lions we saw in Russia, it
was literally on the right
side of the tracks, painted
a deep yellow and very
large. We went into the
dining room, ordered Mar
zan, borscht, black bread
and butter and vodka.
Even though the sun was
still high in the sky, it was
late evening and now we
were getting far from Fin
nish Karelia and into Rus

SEAMS
TO Me-.
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

A teenage girl is often
stumped when it comes to
finding a gift for her older
brother unless, of course, she
has saved enough from her
allowance to buy him an ex-
pensive present.
But, if money is a prob
lem, and if her sewing SkillS
are still limited, a felt desk
set for his room at home or
school makes an ideal gift.
Most of the work is done
with glue, glue especially
made to use with felt and
other fabrics. Only a few
rows of stitching are required.
1t couldn't be simpler, and
won't even put a dent in a
teenager's savings.
You'll need: p yard tan
felt, 70 inches wide; piece of
black felt, 14"x18"; piece of
stiffening, 14"x18"; 2 empty
cans with smooth edges -
one the size of a frozen fruit
Juice can for the pencil hold
er, and one about an inch
deep for the ash tray; piece
of wire from light weight
dress hanger; glue for fabric;
/ package brown rickrack; l
package black rickrack.
To cut:
l. Cut piece of tan felt II"
x22" for desk pad.
2. Cut piece of tan felt for
pencil holder so that it goes
around can with edges just
meeting and one inch wider
than height of can. Then,
make a circle for the bottom
of the can, by drawing
around it on the felt, and
cutting it out.
3. Cut a strip of tan felt
for the ash tray to go around
can, even with top edge. Cut
circle for bottom of can.
To make.
l. Paint inside of both cans
with black enamel.
2. Pin stiffening to piece of
black felt, being careful that
edges are even. Center black
piece on tan pad section, with
stiffening side down and pin
together.
3. Stitch brown rickrack
over edge of black felt,
stitching through all thick
nesses. Stitch black rickrack
"a inch in from edge of tan
pad section (top illustration) q.
4. For pencil holder (cen-
ter illustration, glue side
section of felt to side of can,
bottom edges even. Turn
edges of felt to inside, over
top of can and glue down.
Cut 2 brown and 2 black
strips of rickrack 112 inches
longer than can. Glue one
strip over "seam" where
edges of piece meet to con-
ceal, turning top end of rick
rack to inside of can even
with edge of felt. Turn other
end over bottom of can. Do
same with remaining strips,

AS we neared Viipori (Vy-
borg, beautiful old city with
its castle so beloved by the
Firms, the Russian officials
came aboard. A woman doc
tor came through wearing a
white smock and carrying a
gigantic needle, examined
our passports, asked us how
much money we were TAX
ing into Russia, to list it all
and jewelry too, asked if we
had our vaccination certifi-
Gates, if we were carrying
hashish, heroin or opium,
and looked under the seats.
After we passed a sentry
compound where guards
stood with fixed bayonetS,
we came into Viipori and
the Soviet Union.
The Train
We had really been in
Russia since we boarded the
train, as the cars personnel
was all Russian. The de-
luxe class tickets arranged
through Intourist entitled
US to a compartment, pam
eled in richly rubbed wood
and with brass fittings. 1t
was much like the compart-
ments on American trains,
except that there were
no restroom facilities-the
only one was at the end of
the car, and was shared by
both sexes.
Also, the bed above was
pulled out, though made up,
and when we asked the
porter to push it back
against the wall, he did not
respond, and we rode all the
way to Leningrad with it
hanging out from the wall.
But. as the train pulled
out of the HelSinki station,
we examined the compart-
ment and found it COM
Portable. There were ample
racks and hooks for cloth
ing and baggage, a table
at the window, and the
seats were deep and COM
Portable. with long extra
cushions for the back. 1t

Pitfalls of Observation-Disclosures

with Russia, that chance al
most disappeared after the
Kennedy interview with Nj
kita Khrushchev's son-in-
law"
The tendency to go it alone
in a matter of Allied strategy
probably will be defended in
quarters here as necessary in
order to bring about, through
world opinion, the harmony
that is not achievab lie
through diplomatic channels.
But it is risky business.
Already Walter Ulbricht, the
East German leader. has de-
nounced the Kennedy pro-
posal-made publicly for the
first time in the Izvestia in
terview-for an international
administration of access
routes to West Berlin from
West Germany. This Is one
tactic that Moscow employs
to knock down the PreSi-
dents proposals with the idea
of getting more and more
concessions before the ne
gotiations actually begin.
President de Gaulle feels
that the Russians should
come to the West with pro-
posals for negotiation and
that the West should not
take the initiative in Offer
ing bargaining proposals to
Mr.. Khrushchev.
Within another week the
foreign ministers of the
Western Allies are due to
meet in Paris. So far as is
known, they have not as yet
come to any agreement on
the main proposals to be
made to Russia and that is
why it is wholly unprece-
dented for public statements
to be issued that tend to
commit the Allies to a posi-
ton which they themselves
have not all accepted.
Dissension among Allies is
not surprising, but to express
differences publicly in ad-
vance Of a negotiation makes
it difficult for any foreign
minister or secretary Of state
to perform effectively the
duties of his office. The State
Department here is frequent
ly under fire, and some of the
White House aides are some
times impatient with its
slow-moving tendencies, but
in the long run it's better
to listen to your doctor or
lawyer, as they know from
experience with other cases
the pitfalls arising from in
difference to competent
advisers.

French Assoi| Negotiating in Public
On Proposals Allies Aren't Agreed On

in their recent meeting. At
that meeting, it was agreed to
limit negotiations with Rus
sia to Berlin. But, in the
published interview, Mr.. Ken
nedy talked of restricting
West German armament. He
talked of negotiating to keep
the peace in central Europe
He indicated a willingness to
accept a divided Germany for
IS years. if agreement is
reached on Berlin. He seemed
ready to accept a Soviet peace
treaty with Communist East
Germany, If Western rights
in Berlin are protected.
"In recent weeks, repre-
sentatives of the United
States, West Germany, Brit
ain and France have been
meeting to discuss proposals
they might make to Russia if
a conference is called.
1T is understood here that
one of the American pro-
poSalS was to create an inter
national administration over
all access routes to West
Berlin-by air as we'll as land
and water. This idea was
advanced by Mr.. Kennedy in
his interview with IZvestia,
although United States allies,
themselves, are not agreed on
the idea. 1t was the bringing
of such proposals out into the
open at this stage that dis
turbed De Gaulle. He feels
that the United States is
going too far and moving too
fast in it's efforts to come to
terms with the Soviet Union"
The question naturally
arises as to what part, If any,
the Secretary of State
played in the handling of
the Presidents interview
with the the editor Of L.
vestia. 1t would be surprising
to find that a diplomat of
experience would approve of
the revelation of delicate
matters under discussion
with Allies without consult
ing them in advance as to
the wisdom of such disclo-
sure. Just how seriously the
French regard the mistake is
indicated in the concluding
paragraph Of the Paris dis
patch quoted in part above:

If there was a chance after
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS talks
that De Gaulle finally would
agree to participate IN the

native troops. But they
could, by the force of their
own toughness and skill,
make military headway.
Almost half-a-billion dol
lars went into Laos. and
President Kennedy inherited
the bankruptcy proceedings.
Being a disciplined man he
can grin wryly when some
nut complains about failure
in Laos"
This seemed a necessary
sort of preamble to the news
from Saigon. Let us not esti-
mate how many millions
were poured into that half
OF the one-time French
colony - where the French
army was defeated by Com
munist jungle guerrillas.
(The name Diem Bien Phu
is now almost forgotten)
A short while ago, the
President, alarmed by the
steady deterioration of af-
fairs in Wet Nam, sent a
toug h-minded intelligent
man there - Gen. Maxwell
D. Taylor.
He saw a situation which
could be retrieved. He rec
commended a decentraliza-
tion Of the government. The
President, Ngo Dinh Diem, is
something of a mystic. He is
almost a recluse. He trusts
few persons - which is not
a bad idea - save that those
he does trust do not deserve it.
His administrations are gen.
orally ineffective or corrupt
- or both.
The army morale is low.

even lower.

Diplomacy by means Of

struck a snag among the
Western Allies. Outwardly,
Great Britain and West Ger
many have gone along, but
rumblings in France have be-
come noticeable.
President de Gaulle, for
instance. thought the inter-
view given by President
Kennedy to the editor of
Izvestia-who happens to be
Premier Khrushchev's SON.
in-law-was a serious error
in tactics. A significant dis
patch from Paris published
this week in U. S. News &
World Report says that the
1zvestia interview is regarded
in the French capital las the
latest IN a series OF tragic
mistakes 1t adds:
President de Gaulle is con-
vinced that President Ken
nedy is prepared to sacrifice
West German interests in
order to save Western rights
in Berlin. He fears dis
illusionment on the part of
the West Germans that can
lead first toward neutralism,
then toward a deal with Rus
Sia to reunite the two Ger
manys.
DE Gaulle's belief is that
another Yalta' Is in the max
ing. and he sees no reason
why France should partici-
pate in any such negotiations
with Russia. De Gaulle's
view is that If the United
States and Britain are de-
termined to negotiate with
Russia there is nothing he
can do to stop them. But
France will not take part on
the basis set forth in the
Kennedy interview.
LAS the French President
sees it: Mr.. Kennedy, in the
interview. wasn't Just talking
to Soviet public opinion.
He was talking to Khru-
shchev, too. In his Ode
Gaulle's) opinion, the inter-
view amounted to negotiating
in public about issues and
United States proposals on
which the Western Allies are
not agreed.
The interview, it is pointed
out here. covered much more
than the area for possible
negotiation that Mr.. Kennedy
and Germany's Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer agreed to
Evening star., 1961-12-05

The normal reaction would
be to stop dealing with him.
The Soviet government has
been cheating the West ever
since they became partners
in the last war. 1t signed
solemn agreements including
the status of Berlin and &C
cess to the city from the
west. 1t admitted formally
the rights of communication
between the citizens Of East
and West Berlin as we'll as
that of citizens Of the occupy
ing powers. And what hap
pens? All the agreements
have become scraps Of paper.
There are now two Berlins
instead of one.
Russia instigated the ne
gotiations for suspension of
nuclear tests. She led the
United States and Britain by
the nose for more than three
years. Then, suddenly she an
nounced she would resume
tests and set off more than
80 explosions, including that
of a 50-meqaton bomb. The
Reds have become satisfied
that their 1.uclear power is
in good shape and returned
to Geneva to begin again
where they left off.
There exists in theory a
superior court which could
make the Russians live up to
their agreements and punish
their continual cheating.
That court is the United Ma
.tions. But that organization
