# Nixon Talks Hint Top Job for Kissinger

New York, N. Y. -AP- Three meetings in five days between President-Elect Richard M. Nixon and Henry Kissinger have prompted speculation that Kissinger may become Nixon's personal adviser on national security matters.

Kissinger had another meeting Friday with the president-elect. Ron Ziegler, Nixon's press spokesman, later described Kissinger, 45, as "a man well respected in the field of foreign affairs and national security." He is director of Harvard university's defense studies program and head of the Harvard international seminar.

Kissinger has a broad range of experience in international relations and is considered a specialist on such subjects as European security, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Mediterranean.

He was born in Germany and became a naturalized citizen in 1943.

He and Nixon are known to share cautious views toward the Soviet Union and a belief that the United States must maintain strategic strength both as a deterrent to hostilities and as a bargaining weight in negotiations.

# Kissinger May Be Nixon Adviser On National Security

NEW YORK (AP) — Three meetings in five days between President-elect Richard M. Nixon and Henry Kissinger have prompted speculation Kissinger may become Nixon's personal adviser on national security matters.

Kissinger had another meeting Friday with the President-elect. Ron Ziegler, Nixon's press spokesman, later described Kissinger as "a man well respected in the field of foreign affairs and national security." Kissinger, 45, is director of Harvard University's defense studies program and head of the Harvard International Seminar.

There has been no word from the Nixon camp so far as to whether the President-elect even plans to have a special assistant for national security affairs—a top post occupied during the past eight years by McGeorge Bundy and Walt W. Rostow.

It is widely believed, however, that the new chief executive will almost have to have a close per-

sonal adviser in this area, even if he changes the job's title.

He was born in Germany and became a naturalized citizen in 1943. He was a consultant to the National Security Council in 1961 and 1962, and has been a consultant to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency since 1961.

Kissinger is the author of a number of books including "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy," published in 1957.

Nixon also discussed foreign affairs Friday with Robert Strausz-Hupe, director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania, and William Kintner, the institute's associate director.

Another visitor to Nixon headquarters in the Pierre Hotel, Board Chairman Roy Ash of Litton Industries, discussed recruitment of top-level talent with the President-elect. There was no immediate indication whether Ash himself might be recruited by the new administration.

Nixon's schedule for today was not announced. He was expected to continue meetings with his principal aides at the Pierre.

## Nixon Appoints Harvard Prof

# Kissinger Gets a U.S. Security

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Richard M. Nixon announced Monday he is making Harvard Prof. Henry A. Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs to oversee the foreign and defense policy machinery of the White House,

Nixon, at a news conference, said the 45-year-old Kissinger, a native of Germany, will revamp the entire security planning machinery at the White House with an aim to preventing global crises rather than simply dealing with them as they arise.

President-elect said he was concerned that, after inauguration day, he gets a broad spectrum of news on foreign policy problems and is "not presented

with a paper that represents a consensus—the least common denominator.”

He said he was calling on Kissinger, a professor of government at Harvard, to bring in new men and promote new ideas so he will have the benefit of divergent views.

Asked if Kissinger might overshadow the man Nixon eventually appoints as secretary of state, the incoming chief executive said, "I intend to have a very strong secretary of state." But he insisted he has not decided on nominees for either the state or defense cabinet posts.

Kissinger said he foresaw no prospect that he would be in competition with the men who

eventually get those cabinet jobs.

Long a federal consultant, but never a full-time government official, Kissinger was asked if he had not tended to pursue a hard line on Vietnam and other top overseas problems.

"I have tried to avoid labels like hard or soft," he replied.

Two assist Kissinger in developing the new national security apparatus at the White House, Nixon named 42-year-old Richard V. Allen, a senior staff member at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. Allen, who will be a "principal associate" of Kissinger's, served as director of foreign

policy research during the Nixon campaign.

Kissinger had met with Nixon at least four times in eight days. He has asked for a leave of absence from Harvard to take the White House job.

In his new post, Kissinger will be the direct successor to Walt W. Rostow, President Johnson's assistant for national security affairs, who succeeded McGeorge Bundy, now president of the Ford Foundation.

Nixon said Rostow has been very cooperative in planning the transition in his office, referring to Kissinger, said:

"His first assignment is to go to Washington—I hope immediately."

Nixon Selects Herbert Klein
As Director of Communications

NEW YORK (UPI)—President-elect Richard M. Nixon announced the appointment today of Herbert G. Klein as director of Communications for the executive branch “to coordinate information activities of every department of government.”

Ron Ziegler, chief press spokesman for Nixon, made the announcement. He said Klein's position would be on a policy making level and had been established “to ensure free access of information from all parts of government.”

Klein, 50, formerly editor of the San Diego Union and a key Nixon aide during the campaign, said his job was part of a new structure within the executive branch of government.

"It is a further indication of a major effort by the President-elect to present the American people all the information possible so that they can make the decisions they must make," Klein said.

presented a major effort to eliminate the credibility gap in government.

Ziegler appointed earlier as a special assistant to the president-elect will be the chief spoksman for Nixon. Klein's job was described as coordinating the public information policy and efforts of all other branches of the government. His offices will be located in the executive office building instead of the White House.

"My job will be to set the tone and give direction to this program for making information available," Klein said.

Nixon also met with Dr. Henry Kissinger, professor of government at Harvard University, at his offices here and scheduled meetings later this afternoon with Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., and Gov. James Rhodes of Ohio.

Nixon kept in close touch with the monetary crisis in Europe.

Nixon Emissary on
Fact-Finding Tour

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Richard M. Nixon has called on the heads of state in six Middle East nations to give a "full and frank exposition" of their views to his special emissary, former Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton.

Nixon confirmed Friday that he has asked Scranton to undertake a fact-finding, "reportorial" tour of the Middle East next week, similar to the trip he made to Western Europe for Nixon in October.

Scranton's schedule calls for him to see heads of state and governmental leaders in Israel, the United Arab Republic, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The diplomatic message to President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the U.A.R. was transmitted via the Spanish Embassy.

The president-elect said during his campaign that he favors American arms support to Israel, and said that if the sale of Phantom jets to Israel is necessary for Israel to maintain military superiority in the Middle East, the sale should be made.

Nixon said he favored such action in order to maintain stability in the area.

This latest mission for Scranton again raised speculation he might become Nixon's secretary of state or ambassador to the United Nations in the new administration.

Scranton, however, has said he does not want a permanent post with the Nixon administration, but will take on special missions for the president-elect.

Another focus of speculation Friday was Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard University, a specialist in foreign affairs and national security, who appeared at the Nixon transition headquarters at the Pierre Hotel for the third time.

Ronald L. Ziegler, Nixon's press spokesman, said Kissinger talked with aides to the president-elect, including designee White House assistant Bryce N. Harlow and John N. Mitchell, who was Nixon's general campaign manager

In addition to talking with the aides, Kissinger spent 15 minutes with Nixon.

"He is involved early in conversations on all matters," Ziegler said. Mitchell is one of Nixon's law partners.

# Nixon joins Eisenhower family for Thanksgiving

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Richard M. Nixon, passing up a homestyle Thanksgiving, today joins the family of ailing former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to share a hospital turkey.

Coming from New York with Nixon are his wife Pat and their daughters, Julie and Tricia. After a visit with Eisenhower at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the Nixons join Mamie Eisenhower, Mr. and Mrs. John Eisenhower and some of the former President's grandchildren for Thanksgiving dinner in a hospital dining room.

Doctors at Walter Reed reported Wednesday that Gen. Eisenhower is "able to walk a short distance unassisted" as he continues to make "slow but steady progress" from his latest heart attack.

Doctors said that Eisenhower, recuperating from a series of near-fatal heart attacks last summer, would be served a "somewhat modified turkey dinner" but would not be with the family group at dinner.

David Eisenhower, the former President's grandson who will marry Julie Nixon in New York on Dec. 22, will be among the dinner guests.

The President-elect put in a very full day at his New York hotel office Wednesday, meeting with Vice President-elect Spiro T. Agnew, present and past Republican office holders and key advisors.

Among those with whom Nixon discussed the Justice Department and other matters were Herbert Brownell and Wil-

liam P. Rogers, who served as attorneys general in the Eisenhower administration.

Back for a second conference this week was Henry Kissinger, a defense specialist who is a lecturer in government at Harvard University.

There was no word on whether the Kissinger visit presaged his appointment to a high post in the Nixon administration. But another caller, President Lee Dubridge of the California Institute of Technology, smiled and dodged when newsmen asked if he would be Nixon's science ad-

visor at the White House.

Agnew, meeting Nixon for the second time since the election, told reporters that he was exhilarated by the enlarged role which the President-elect has promised him. And Agnew said that, contrary to an earlier announcement by Nixon himself he would have a fullsize vice presidential staff. Nixon had said Agnew would occupy a White House office and share the presidential staff so no rivalries or jealousies would develop between separate sets of aides.

# Nixon names national security consultant

NEW YORK (AP)-President-elect Richard M. Nixon yesterday appointed foreign policy scholar Henry A. Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs, with instructions to overhaul the diplomacy and defense operations of the White House.

Kissinger, a Harvard University professor, shunned the suggestion that his is a hard-line view of world problems. He said he will stress long-range planning which can be "prevent crises from happening."

THE president-elect personally announced his choice of the 45-year-old teacher, author and government consultant to what he said will be a major policy position in the new administration.

"There will be a complete reorganization and restructuring of the entire White House security planning machinery," Nixon said.

Kissinger said his job in essence is to see that all options are considered and long-range planning is weighed in shaping security decisions.

Neither Nixon nor his new aide would discuss security policy matters, stressing machinery instead. Nixon said it would not be appropriate for him to talk about substantive policy matters publicly until after the inauguration; Kissinger said that as a White House assistant it would not be appropriate for him to talk about them at all.

BUT when a reporter noted that Kissinger has a reputation as a man with hard-line views on dealings with the Communist world, the professor replied:

"I have tried to avoid labels

rity Council is going to be "revitalized and streamlined, and I will meet with it frequently and regularly."

He said Kissinger will be in charge of that effort. Nixon said the council will put major emphasis on contingency planning, to prepare for problems before they become crises.

In another foreign policy move, Nixon held a farewell meeting with former Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton, about to depart on a study mission to Israel and the Middle East for the president-elect.

NIXON had another meeting, too—with a group of all-star college football players, among them O. J. Simpson of the University of Southern California, winner of the Heisman Trophy. They gave him an autographed football.

Nixon also announced that

Dr. Richard V. Allen of the Hoover Institution of War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University will be a principal associate of Kissinger on the council staff. Allen was Nixon's campaign director for foreign policy research.

Discussing Kissinger's role, Nixon emphasized a search for advisers of all viewpoints. "We want a broad spectrum," Nixon said. He said he wants to make sure that the President does not hear "just what he wants to hear" in national security matters.

AGAIN and again, Nixon and Kissinger stressed the word "planning" in discussing the National Security Council's function.

Kissinger said he will seek to draw into his operation the best talent in the nation, although the staff will remain about its present size of some 20 people.

In addition, he said, Nixon wants the advice of overseas experts drawn into planning councils.

Nixon said he had in mind the counsel of people outside the governments of U.S.' allies.

Both Nixon and Kissinger said they foresee no conflict between the assignment of the new White House aide and the men who become secretary of state and secretary of defense in the new administration.

After making his formal statement, introducing Kissinger and answering a dozen questions, Nixon asked that the cameras be turned off. He then answered informally but for direct quotation a series of other questions on the appointment to provide more background on his action.

Wide Traveling Director
To Guide 'Miser' Here

By CLARA HIERONYMUS

A theater professional whose assignments have taken her to such distant "off-Broadway" locations as Australia, South Africa, Yugoslavia and Israel, will direct Theater Nashville's January production of "The Miser."

Miss Ella Gerber, native of New York City, will come to Nashville in mid-December to hold tryouts and conduct rehearsals for the Moliere comedy to be presented Jan. 15-18 at Vanderbilt University Theater.

MISS GERBER is the first of three professional directors who will stage productions for Theater Nashville this season. The theater, according to Eric Ericson, president, plans to engage a full-time permanent director for its 1969-70 season and will present its shows at Vanderbilt theater until such time as it acquires its own building.

Miss Gerber's theater debut was as an actress with the Knickerbocker Players in New York City in 1933; she later toured as both actress and dancer before turning her talents to directing in 1943.

Her directorial stints have included numerous stagings of the musical, "Porgy and Bess," beginning with such stars as Cab Calloway, Leontyne Price and William Warfield in a 1952-1955 tour that played twelve countries in addition to the United States and Canada.

MUSICAL THEATER has claimed her directing skills in a long list of plays that includes "Carousel" (in Johannesburg), "Lost in the Stars," "Gypsy" (with Ann Sothern), "Camelot" (with Patrice Munsel), "Guys and Dolls" (with Vivian Blaine),

Miss Gerber is just back from London where she directed three opera excerpts for London Opera Center. Following her work here she will rect a group of one-act plays Off-Broadway.

MISS GERBER has not directed Maori in New Zealand but has been a guest teacher the London Opera Center. In addition she is co-author and adapter, with Howard Richardson, of six plays for stage and TV.

IN FOREIGN-POLICY STRATEGIST

# *Nixon shows high interest*

By MURREY MARDER
Times-Post News Service
Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President-elect Richard M. Nixon is showing high interest in a strategist who says the United States must replace “spasmodic” foreign policy with a clear concept of vital American interests abroad.

Henry A. Kissinger, who met three times with Nixon last week, is the author of a provocative essay on “Central Issues of American Foreign Policy,” which Nixon is known to be studying. The essay is the concluding chapter of the Brookings Institution’s new publication, “Agenda for the Nation.”

Kissinger, in his analysis, projects almost the opposite course of the pragmatic approach which the Johnson administration has taken for the making of its foreign policy.

President Johnson, at the outset of his administration, specifically disdained any “grand design” for the conduct of foreign affairs — such as the Kennedy administration sought. Without

HENRY A. KISSINGER

using that precise terminology, Kissinger maintains:

> "In the years ahead, the most profound challenge to American policy will be philosophical: to develop some concept of order

in a world which is bipolar militarily but multipolar politically."

Kissinger protests that "in almost every area of the world, we have been living off capital — warding off the immediate, rarely dealing with underlying problems. These difficulties are likely to multiply when it becomes apparent that one of the legacies of the war in Vietnam will be a strong American reluctance to risk overseas involvements."

A specialist on defense and foreign policy, Kissinger is director of the defense studies program at Harvard University.

Among other things, Kissinger states that "a new look at American national security policy is essential."

He calls for a basic re-examination of alliance operations. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, says Kissinger, requires new "common concepts" to face the different problems of the 1970s; He challenges "the conventional view" that NATO can be as useful as "an instrument for detente as for defense."

As for the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) and the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO), both, says Kissinger, "have grown moribund as instruments of collective action."

In dealing with Communist power, Kissinger protests that "the obsession with Soviet intentions causes the West to be smug during periods of detente and panicky during crises." Therefore, he finds, "the West is never ready for a Soviet change of course; it has been equally unprepared for detente and intransigence."

# Defense Expert Gets Close Look

BY ROBERT B. SEMPLE JR.

©1968 New York Times News Service

New York — Richard M. Nixon is thought to be seeking the full-time services of Henry A. Kissinger, a defense and national security specialist from Harvard University who serves as Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's adviser on foreign affairs.

Kissinger has conferred several times with the president-elect.

Sources in the academic community of which Kissinger is a part and elsewhere said overtures were made but that Kissinger has made no final decision.

It is believed that if Kissinger accompanied Nixon to Washington he would be chairman of the policy - planning council at the Department of

State or special assistant to the president for national security affairs. The latter post is currently held by Walt W. Rostow and was occupied during the Kennedy administration by McGeorge Bundy.

Kissinger, 45, was born in Germany and became a naturalized citizen in 1943. Presently head of the Harvard international seminar and director of the defense studies program at Harvard, he was a consultant to the National Security Council in 1961 and 1962 and has been a consultant to the arms control and disarmament agency since 1961.

He is regarded as a specialist on European security, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Mediterranean. He and Nixon share cautious views toward the Soviet Union.

## Next Month Called Crucial

From Post-Dispatch Wire Services

BOSTON, Dec. 5 — Prof. Edwin O. Reischauer, former United States Ambassador to Japan, said today the coming month was crucial to the incoming administration's understanding of how best to approach the Vietnam war.

Reischauer said he believed that President-elect Richard M. Nixon planned a "de-Americanization" of the war, but said he hoped that Nixon would not listen to military advisers who say "give us a few more months and we will win."

Reischauer spoke as one of four new "diplomatic sponsors" associated with Business Executives Move for Vietnam Peace, an organization of 2300 execu-

tives who opposes the war on the ground that it is an economic disaster.

Harold Willens, president of Factory Equipment Supply Corp. of Los Angeles, was chairman of the meeting. Willens said that John K. Galbraith, former U.S. Ambassador to India, was to have attended but was ill.

### Teach at Harvard

Reischauer and Galbraith teach at Harvard. Both served as ambassadors under President John F. Kennedy.

Reischauer said that the National Liberation Front in Vietnam was "a fact of life," and the United States should realize that the Viet Cong, although

Communist-led, basically were nationalists.

He cautioned against an abrupt a pull-out of American forces, saying that world stability would be damaged "if we pull out of Vietnam in a clumsy, helter-skelter way."

Reischauer told reporters he did not believe that "very meaningful negotiations would get under way (in Paris) until Nixon assumed office. "I fear the Nixon Administration may be too slow in the de-Americanization of the war, giving time for the military to think it can win—which it cannot do," he said.

that they can really win militarily." Reischauer said that the persuasion might work because the Nixon Administration would not yet be "in the morass" of the Vietnam war that mired the Johnson Administration in its final years.

Much depends on Nixon's choice of Secretary of Defense, the former ambassador said.

In a short statement read by Willens on behalf of the committee, the executives said, "We must face the undeniable fact that in Vietnam we have been fighting not Communism but nationalism, led by people who happen to be Communists. Failure to understand the nature

and force of the new nationalistic aspirations in Southeast Asia led to the tragic mistake of Americanizing the Vietnam war."

Willens said that there was "noting wrong with making a mistake, but the mistake was the failure to admit it."

### Disputed 'Domino Theory'

Reischauer disputed the "domino theory" espoused by critics of American withdrawal from Vietnam and said that each country's development depended on the situation within it and, therefore, was not directly influenced by external pressures.

He said that he could not envision the United States becoming involved "in another war like this one because we might

not be able to get out of it fast enough." He said that he did not foresee American military involvement in the Middle East but "we're very involved."

Of the appointment of fellow Harvard Prof. Henry A. Kissinger as Nixon's special adviser on national security, Reischauer said, "An excellent appointment — a man of very sound and solid judgments — a real humanist."

Willens said that two other members of the new Diplomatic Sponsors Committee of business organization were Roger Hilsman, former assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs, and Benjamin B. Cohen, a former Department of State official.

# Kissinger Outlines Views On Foreign Policy Action

© 1968, New York Times News Service

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 5 — Henry A. Kissinger, newly appointed by President-elect Richard M. Nixon to be his assistant for national security affairs, told an audience of intellectuals last night that in foreign policy "whether one acts or doesn't act depends on some moral or philosophical judgment as well as on some judgment of fact."

"The great danger of war," Kissinger said, "seems to me not to be in the deliberate action of wicked men, but in the inability of harassed men to manage events that have run away with them."

He said that "when the scope for action is greatest, the knowledge on which to base that action is at a minimum" and when the scope for action is at a maximum, the knowledge is at a minimum.

Kissinger pointed out that Hitler's invasion of the Rhineland in 1936 could easily have been opposed because the forces of England and France were much superior to Germany's. In 1941, it would have become morally easy but physically difficult.

Kissinger said: "I can tell you that speaking for myself as well as for the President-elect, that every opportunity will be given the best talent of the

country to present their views.

"I would hope that I can use this opportunity to ask you, first of all to tell you, that the doors of the White House are open to your ideas and ask you to share them with me."

The Harvard professor spoke

to a gathering of liberal scholars from the U.S. and abroad who were attending a seminar sponsored by the International Association for Cultural Freedom, a Paris-based alliance of left-of-center scholars and publicists.

Kissinger asked the scholars to volunteer ideas to him in the Nixon administration. He said he wanted to "maintain the dialogue with all my friends" and said he wanted to be judged on his effectiveness in providing a spectrum of options to Nixon.
