The YuqosIovs and Mr.. K.

Nikita Khrushchev continues to
make merry, and also to generate good
publicity, on his working vacation" in
Yugoslavia. At the same time, much to
the annoyance of Peking, he and Presi-
dent Tito-who is peculiarly anathema
to the Chinese CommuniStS-seemt to be
getting along famously in bringing about
better economic and political relations
between Moscow and Belgrade.
Interestingly enough, though, as he
accompanies the touring Soviet Premier,
Marshal Tito is careful to assert, in a
number Of subtle ways, that Yugoslavia
under his dictatorial rule intends to
keep on practicing its own independent
brand of communism. This is what led
Josef Stain to try to destroy him after
their sensational break in 1948 And this
is why Red China's Mao Tze-tung at
tackS him so venomously, and why Mr..
Khrushchev, who now happily hobnobs
with him, has become symbol Of evil
for the humorlesS Chinese Communist
doctrinaires.
However, to quote an old, non-Rus-
sian proverb, this is something that
takes no skin off the nose Of either
Nikita or his Yugoslav host. On the con-
trary, both have commented on the mat
ter with studied contempt. Mr.. Khrush-
chew, for example, has attacked Peking's
attitude in these bluntly eloquent words:
This is stupid, stupid" And IzveStia,
the Soviet governments chief news
paper, has spectacularly aSSailed the
Chinese Communists in an article ac-
cusing them of wanting a thermonu-
clear war and being no better than
Outrageous aggressors and villains" like
Attila the Hun, Ghenghis Khan and
Adolf Hitler.
Here is something that speaks pretty
much for itself as a measure Of Sino-
Soviet relations. The relations obviously
are about as low as they can get, short
of complete diplomatic break and dis
solution Of the Peking-Moscow military
alliance.

Afro-Asians and Russians. It
is the old story: We have
been so holly determined to
maintain the friendship Of
the newly emerging ex-colon-
ial lands that we have been
able to find no good at all in
Portugal.
But Portugal, whatever her
grave faults, is, after all, q
Western power and has for
20 years permitted us to use
her Azores Islands as military
bases. The agreement for use
Of those bases expired at the
end of December, and Prem
Ter Salazar quite understand
ably has not seemed so eager
to renew the lease as he used
to be.
1t Is against all this back
ground that Ball undertakes
his mission to Portugal and
Pakistan. To repeat, If one
could think this mission
means some real change in
American policies, the news
would be good, indeed. 1t is
not easily possible, however,
to see Mr.. Ball as the eager
herald for such a change. He
is very close to Adlai Steven
son, our chief United Nations
delegate, and nothing in his
record indicates that any,
body is more pro-Afro-Asaan
or more respectful of the self
righteous neutralism of Pre- 3
mier Nehru's India. -
The Wrong Man?
It rather looks that in send
ing Ball to placate Ayub
Khan and Salazar, the Presi-
dent has not picked the most
sympathetic possible ennis
sary. The melancholy odds
are that American policy will
simply be the mixture as be-
fore. sr
Still. there may be just the
slightest chance for some
alteration, at least as con-
Germs Southeast Asia, where
American backed military
resistance to Co m m u mist.
guerrillas in South Wet Nam
Is now menaced by disorder
within the local government
and by increasingly threat
ening attitudes among the
Red Chinese.
PakiStan remains the sole
major power Of reliable pro-
Western military capacity in
all that area. Maybe now we
will realize that 1t is more
important to get the Paki-
stanis truly back on our side
than to continue to arm
supposedly to flight the Chi
nese" a neutralist India
whose main interest thus far
has been to keep Pakistan
under constant threat.

become wearisome. It Is not
for nothing that National
Geographic photographers
place a girl or two in the
middle ground Of photo
graphs Of the most eloquent
scenery.
A history like Prof. Han
dlin's must have the equiva-
lent Of those girls. Great
generalizations about the
Schauderromantik of the
1905, for example, are all
very well, but is there some
single feature that however
trivial in itself can serve
the essential function of q
point on which to focus? -
There is: I'm 1882 q 22-
year-old Divinity School stu
dent at Harvard went In the
middle Of the night to the
tomb OF a cousin who had
died a few months earlier.
They had been in love when
he had been 16. Laboriously
he unscrewed the coffin to
catch a glimpse Of her unde-.
cayed features. hoping there
to find some clue to the
meaning Of life. In fiction, ,
too, the blond girls went
untitled to the grave"

gious and medical notions
and strains on family life. ,

sight are arrayed around and
against one another, support
ing and clashing and always
mutually clarifying. It is a
stunning performance as his
tory and as literature. %
The virtuosity is magniff-
cent for itself. Yet the book
seems always to have an ex-
ternal goal. Three pages from
the end, Prof. Handlin makes
the goal explicit. "Often the
Americans Of the 1905 seem
to be fighting the same battle
as those Of the 1905, for the
abundance to satisfy material
want, for the stability to end
their rootlessness, for the
community to protect but not
crush their individuality. for
the unity that would acknow-
ledge their diversity and for
the faith TO explain their
unique situation In the uni
verse. In the past the out
come Of each successive stage
IN the struggle had only been
the discovery Of a new front
on which to stage It,"
The Americans" is the his
tory not Of how we got where
we are but Of how our atti-
tudes-both on and below the
surface - came TO be what
they are. It is a brilliant
contribution to collective and
individual self-knowledge.

THE PASSING SCENE
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE
Alarm Over Foreign Policies

The Kennedy Administra-
ton very late in the day is
showing alarm over the
damaging effects Of some Of
its policies-its long en-
chantment with the Afro
Asians in the United Ma
lions and its close associa-
ton with neutralist India
on the unity of the Western
Alliance.
The President is sending
Undersecretary Of State
George Ball to PakiStan and
to Portugal to seek better
relationships with Presi-
dent Ayub Khan In the one
and Premier Antonio Olive
ira Salazar in the other.
Portugal is an old ally in
the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Pakistan,
which borders giant India
and feels necessarily menaced
thereby, has until lately
been by all odds our best
military associate in Asia.
Fear In Pakistan
If one could suppose that
this trip really indicates
some change In our funda-
mental policies, there would
be cause for rejoicing. For
these policies have put both
Pakistan and Portugal on a
very thin diet. The Indians
have used military assaults
by their Chinese Communist
neighbors as levers with
which to pry from us a great
deal Of military aid which
may or may not ever be
used in any effective way
against the people we would
like to stop in Asia, the Red
Chinese.
Past Indian resistance" to
Chinese incursions has been
absurdly, almost ignobly,
poor. For illustration, at the
very height Of the last major
Chinese attack upon India.
the bulk of Indian troops
were never employed against
the Chinese. They were held,
rather, in reserve along the
borders Of Pakistan. More
over, the very possession by
India Of increased United
States-s upplied arms has
steadily raised Pakistan's
fears Of India and as steadily
diminished Pakistan's conf
dence in the value Of Amer
lean friendship for her.
AS to Portugal, our United
Nations delegation has con-
sistently taken a position of
basic hostility to her colonial
interests In Africa-if a hos
tility never carried to the
point Of totally joining Por-
tugal's outright enemies, the

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Americana at Its Very Best

History Of the People Of
the United States by Oscar
Handlin. Chapter head

Bryant. 434 PIP. atlantic

Even the dissenters (of the
1950s) were unsure of them
selves. The rebels Of this gen.
Grafton lacked the positive
standards Of their predeces-
sors In Bohemia forty years
earlier. Norman Mailer, the
beats, the hipSters and the
sick comedians knew what
they were against; the world
around them was a sham.
But they were unable to say
what they were for.
THE uncertainty was par
ticularly troubling for the
young people growing up. The
wind nipped at the bare legs
Of the drum majorette as she
twirled her baton and her
bottom. Behind her marched
the Holy Family Reveries In
leather boots, short skirts,
brass-buttoned TUNES and
shakos. They were on their
way, they hoped. to the
Legion's national competition
in Las Vegas. But they would
never be able to square the
pious verities they learned at
home with the rows of slot
machines and the steepled
offices Of Nevada where mar
riage or divorce was equally
easy to come by"
THIS IS NOT HISTORY,
not sociology and not creative
literature, but q somewhat
odd and very powerful blend
Of the three. 1t epitomizes the
nature and technique Of 1.-THE
Americans" by Oscar Hand
lin, Winthrop Professor OF
History at Harvard.
THE experience Of the
people-in all their variety"
writes Prof. Handlin, PRO
vides the continuity Of the
narrative. The characters are
the men and the women, ex-
ceptional and ordinary,
whose lives responded to the
pressure Of the great social
forces Of their times. But the
focus Is fixed upon the con-
text and on developments
common to the whole people,
rather than on the individ-
ual. What impelled men to
move and how they earned
their livelihood, their
thoughts Of life and death
and the ways in which they
expressed I IN selves are
among the subjects that re-
veal some aspect Of the COM
mon experience"
The great events OF tradi-
tional historical writing -
wars. panics, elections-are
summarized in paragraphs OF
sentences. The emphasis is
always on the spirit (or
spirits) Of the times as Prof.
Handlin sees them.
The erudition required is
nothing short Of awesome.
without 1t, a book Of this
sort is merely wind. Prof.
Handlin's vast knowledge
shows not the slightest sign
OF strain.

panorama, can In time

MUTT AND JEFF

The emerging story Of hui
man rights is told in a unique
display at the B'nai Birth
Building.
History tells the story in a
series Of documents, the most
notable Of which include the
Magma Carta, the Declaration
of Independence, the Emanci-
patton Proclamation, the 14th
and 18th Amendments, and
the Supreme Court school
segregation decision.
Many less heralded land
marks in this particular histo-
ry, however, helped ease the
way for the above to come
into being.
For example, in 1893, George
Herbert wrote 1.-THE Temple"
which is said to be the first
book in English to treat Jews
in a fair light.
Another unreknowned indi-
vidual who eased the way to
freedom was Hymn Soloman, a
financial wizard who raised
much Of the money for
George Washington to carry
on the American Revolution.
His checks, letters, and
French-English ads in Phil
adelphia newspapers are
some Of the 80 or more docu-
mentS included in the exhibit
compiled by curator Robert
ShoSteck.
Interested persons may
come to the exhibit hall at
