ROME. - While many
Western leaders are often
discouraged by statements
coming from Washington,
they have reason to be en-
couraged by recent observa-
tons by Ambassador Arthur
H. Dean at the so-called dis
armame emit conference in
Geneva.
Mr.. Dean stated bluntly
that the United States looks
on disarmament "as some
thing that will strengthen a
free and peaceful world,
while the Soviet Union hopes
to further the cause of COM
munism and the so-called
wars of liberation"
The choice OF the former
law partner Of Secretary
Dulles to handle our negotia-
tons for disarmament was a
fortunate Kennedy appoint
ment. Mr.. Dean understands
clearly that the men in the
Kremlin have never lost sight
of their goal-world domina-
ton. And he apparently also
understands that the Krem-
lin is hoping that under its
continuous hammering the
United States will agree to
weaken itself while the
USSR will not.
What the Soviet delegation
is demanding is that the
United States eliminate its
foreign military bases and
destroy all military nuclear
delivery vehicles, such as our
PolariS submarines, rockets
and aircraft.
In the matter of bases, it
would seem that our foreign
policy may cause their elimi-
nation without any Geneva
agreements. Our hostile atti-
tude toward Portugal may
cause that country not to
renew the lease for our air.

President Seen Failing to Read About
Or Ignoring Reason for Business Fear
DAVID LAWRENCE

Confession Of error may be
good for the soul-but this
doesn't seem to include the
soul Of the politician. Pred-
dent Kennedy is sensitive to
the criticism that his admin
istration is against business.
But it is evident he has either
failed to read or prefers to
ignore the basic reasons why
businessmen are fearful and
distrustful.
If the President had said
in his speech at Yale yester-
day that he had made a
miStake-that he would not
go beyond the law and seek
to punish those who disagree
with him, if he had cleared
the air and acknowledged
that, until Congress passes a
law fixing wages and prices,
the administration has no
right to exert the kind of
pressure used in the steel
controversy-American bust
neSSmen would breathe cas-
Ter today, the stock market
would rise rapidly, and Amer
lea would be travelling the
road that leads to recovery
and prosperity.
But, instead, the speech
yesterday was in a sense de-
fiant and scornful Of critics.
The President said the recent
dialogue" between business
and Government is "clogged
by illusion and platitude and
fails to reflect the true reali-
ties Of contemporary Ameri-
can society"
The President, moreover,
included an ambiguous threat
when he said:
"If a contest in angry ar
gument were forced upon 1t,
no administration could
shrink from response, and
history does not suggest that
American Presidents are to-
tally without resources in an
engagement forced upon them
because Of hostility in one
section Of the society"
Since when in free America
is debate taboo? What does

The Geneva conference has
in three months arrived at
two agreements, from one of
which the Soviets withdrew

was reached. One was the
preamble of the disarmament
treaty. The other was the
abolition of war propaganda
and the concept of war as

been confusion in Europe as
to why the Soviets withdrew
from the latter. But many
consider it a lucky break for
the United States because of
the question it poses: Just
what is the definition Of war
propaganda?
The spectrum is vast:

A Sentimental Reunion Is Recalled
In the Life of the Late Famed Writer

This is about a newspaper
man. Demaree Bess, who was
one of the kindest, gentlest
and best Of men, and GER
tainly one Of the most COM
petent reporters the news
paper world has ever known.
One day in Moscow during
the visit there of then Vice
President Nixon. Mr.. Bess,
representing the Saturday
Evening Post, suggested to
another member Of the party
that he would be welcome on
a sentimental visit to two old
friends ct the United States
Embassy. VI.
The two friends, he said,
were respectively a Chinese
cook and houseboy, who had
for seven years worked for
the Bess household in Pei
ping. They had been brought
to Moscow in 1892 when it
became apparent the United
States was moving toward
establishment of diplomatic
relations with the USSR.
(This became official in No
vember 1880 1t had been
surprisingly easy to get them
in, Mr.. Bess said. despite the
fact they had no passports
or papers. They had worked
there another seven years for
Demaree and Dorothy Bess.
Mr.. Bess was then represent
ing the Christian Science
Monitor. The two Chinese
had remained in Moscow
when he and his wife left for
a new job and assignment in
1898.
Mr.. BeSs, during the trip
in 1859, had tele phoned
ahead to the Embassy. He
and the reporter went into a
large reception room. Within
a few minutes both men
came in. They were short and
round, and obviously quite
old. The scene was an emo
tional one. In turn they put
their arms about Mr.. Bess.
(The reporter who had come
with Mr.. Bess thought it odd
that he, who had never seen
the men before, should be
misty eyed as he looked on
They began Immediately to
ask about Mrs. BeSs and to
recall her many acts OF
kindness to them and what
a delight it had been to be
members of the household
staff. Maurice HinduS, in his
book, House Without Roof"
which Is an account Of a re-
cent tour of Russia, wrote of
visiting an old house in
Borisoglebsky Alley, where in
1898 the Bosses had q flat.
They had, he wrote, two
white-gowned, ever-smiling
Chinese servants who were
the best cooks in Moscow"
Mr.. Bess and his wife had,
Of course, kept in touch by
mail, but this was the first
personal visit in 81 years. The
Chinese had each married
Russian girls and had estab-
lished happy, successful
homes. They had worked as
cook and houseboy for every

The President in his speech
at Yale denounced as a

disarmament, proposed by the
Western powers, is regarded by
the Soviet Union. with full JUS
tification, as espionage.
"Such control would enable
an aggressive state to place its
agents on the territory of
peace-loving states to collect
information about their de-
fense systems"
This, in essence, restated a
well-trampled Soviet position.
Wants Honest Agreement"
Mr.. Khrushchev said what
the Soviet Union wants is IAN
honest agreement which would
furnish guarantees that neither
in the process of disarmament
nor after it's conclusion any
threats would arise to the Sc
curity of any state"
THAT" said Mr.. Khrushchev,
sis why we say-let us draft
a treaty on general and COM
plete disarm a m mt under
strictest international control
and carry out the provisions of
this treaty in stages, so that
control is commensurate to the
disarmament measures taken.
Having completed one stage of
disarmament under control, let
us pass on to the next stage,
also under control. This is a
sound and realistic approach to
the question of control. No one
has yet been able to suggest
anything better"

Kennedy's reply which also is

again that, as the statement

on February 10 raised the bid
to a summit conference. His
proposal was rejected by the

Two Sentenced

Sentenced were James
(Rocky) Seals. 10, a trade

Of Harvard street NV, and
Harold Greenwell, 20, a former
radio disc jockey, of Fort
Worth, Tex.
The two were convicted by a
jury last month Of robbing the
bank at 1779 Columbia road
NV. of 1894 in a holdup last
September.
Judge Keech, in handing
down the long prison terms,
said the robbery had been a
very bold daylight holdup."
The judge said he agreed with
the jury, which was out only
one hour and 20 minutes, in
the guilty findings. The maxi
mum sentence would have been
20 years.
In addition to the prison
terms, each of the two defend
ants was ordered to pay a $4,000
fine. FBI agents said more

was recovered.
