Nixon Is Hoping
For Frank Talks
In Middle East

NEW YORK, Nov. 29. — (AP) — 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 Scranton will leave Monday on a fact-finding 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 UAR was transmitted via the Spanish Embassy.

Nixon 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.

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

Scranton, however, has said he does not want a permanent post with the Nixon administration.

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. He spent 15 minutes with Nixon.

# Harvard Defense Expert In Line As Nixon Adviser

By ROBERT B. SEMPLE JR.
© New York Times 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 New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's adviser on foreign affairs.

Kissinger conferred with the President-Elect Friday in his temporary headquarters in the Pierre Hotel for the third time in five days. The two men met previously on Monday and Wednesday.

NIXON SOURCES would not confirm a firm offer had been made, but conceded the President-Elect would welcome into his administration a man of Kissinger's range and abilities.

Sources in the academic community asserted over-

tures had been made but Kissinger had made no final decision.

IT IS BELIEVED if Kissinger accompanies Nixon to Washington he will occupy one of two posts, either 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 now 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. He was a consultant to the National Security Council in 1961 and 1962, 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.

NIXON also talked briefly with Robert Strausz-Hupe, director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania; Robert Kintner, associate director of the institute, and Roy Ash, president of Litton Industries.

Nixon formally announced he has asked former Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton to undertake a fact-finding mission to six Middle East nations. Scranton undertook a similar mission to Europe in October.

SCRANTON'S mission will carry him to Teheran, Iran, Dec. 4; Beirut, Lebanon, Dec. 5; Cairo, Dec. 6; Jidda and Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia, Dec. 7; Amman, Jordan, Dec. 8; Tel Aviv, Israel, Dec. 9; Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Dec. 10. He will return Dec. 11.

He will visit "heads of state and governmental leaders" in all six countries. He was briefed at the State Department the past week.

WELCOME, DR. KISSINGER

President-elect Richard M. Nixon on Monday picked Prof. Henry A. Kissinger to be chief White House adviser on foreign policy.

Dr. Kissinger thus is to succeed Walt W. Rostow in one of the most important appointive offices in the federal government.

The choice looks like a good one to us. Though a Harvard professor, Dr. Kissinger, so far as we know, never has bought the Rostow & Co. notion that Soviet Russia's Red tyrants are "mellowing" toward the free world. On the other hand, Kissinger never has been a fire-eating jingoist.

He has impressed us for years as a man who realizes the size and determination of the world Communist movement and has some constructive and realistic ideas on how to keep communism from realizing its long ambition to enslave the entire human race.

His first specific instruction from Mr. Nixon is to try to work out ways and means of getting away from government-by-crisis. That would call for working out detailed, coldblooded plans for coping with virtually any crisis that could come upon us from any foreign quarter.

Here's a world of luck to Kissinger in this assignment.

Luck, too, we say, to President Lee A. Dubridge of the California Institute of Technology, whom President-elect Nixon yesterday chose as his policy-making science adviser.

We know little about Dr. Dubridge—except that he is strongly opposed to cutting back radically on U.S. space programs. That, we'd say, is recommendation enough.

# The New Face Is Cast
## From a Familiar Mold

By Jon Margolis

To those who know him, Henry Alfred Kissinger is a man whose personality matches his intellect. Both are incisive, dispassionate and essentially solemn.

Some of those acquainted with President-elect Nixon's top foreign policy adviser said after his appointment yesterday that he fits the image of his most recent predecessors, McGeorge Bundy and Walt W. Rostow. "He's very much at home in that Establishment world of Eastern universities and big foundations," one man said. "He really has a penetrating, analytical mind."

At Harvard, where he received his doctorate in 1954 and where he has been teaching since then, Kissinger is known as the professor with the 16-page reading list. But in spite of all the work involved, Kissinger's class in foreign policy is one of the most popular at Harvard.

The professor reportedly is not as popular as his course. Students and former students who know him describe him with words like "brusque" and "austere." "He's not the kind who pals around with students," one said. A graduate student, who said he knows Kissinger better than most, said Kissinger is aware that he lacks rapport with his students, and is bothered by it. "But he's too busy to have many relationships with students," the graduate student said. "When he has a choice between talking with students or talking with the State Department, he'll go to Washington."

Kissinger's aloof image is heightened by his

appearance. He is a square-faced, bespectacled 45-year-old, conservative in dress and demeanor. He talks in a monotone, with a slight German accent, smiles rarely, and lives alone in Back Bay Boston.

Nixon said he has known Kissinger personally for only one year. "I met him for the first time at a Christmas party at Clare Boothe Luce's apartment in New York last year," the President-elect said.

But Kissinger is not above a joke at his own expense. In the speeches he gives around the country, he often remarks that he knows his hosts invited him only because they could not get Herman Kahn, the prominent systems analyst who, like Kissinger, "thinks the unthinkable" about the ramifications of nuclear war and weapons.

Kissinger is known to love the beach and sailing. He vacations frequently at Martha's Vineyard, Mass., where he relaxes by reading novels. He also is fond of good food, and once was quite fat, but has since slimmed down.

Kissinger was born in Germany. In 1938, when he was 15, he and his family fled their native Bavaria to escape Hitler's persecution of the Jews. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1943, and served in Europe with the Army.

The first of Kissinger's five books, "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy," was published in 1957. He has been a foreign policy adviser to Gov. Rockefeller since 1956, and friends said he was bitterly disappointed when Rockefeller failed to get the GOP presidential nomination. Kissinger was previously married and has two children. The marriage ended in divorce.

# Innis Urges a Negro in

By R.V. Denenberg

Newsday Staff Correspondent

Princeton, N.J.—Roy Innis, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality, startled an international conference of intellectuals here yesterday by presenting a plan for a separate Negro nation composed of the ghettos of American cities.

Speaking to conferees invited from around the world by the International Association for Cultural Freedom to discuss domestic and foreign policy problems of the U.S. as the Nixon administration prepares to take over, Innis declared, "We want a social contract between blacks and whites sharing the same piece of geography." In order to control their own destiny, he said, Negroes do not need integration but the "separatism of islands immersed in land." Those islands, he explained, would be the Negro ghettos of the major American cities, linked politically as a nation "totally autonomous of the U.S., like Mexico or Canada."

He said that the Negro nation would contain 25,000,000 persons and have a gross national product of $40 billion, larger than that of many countries. Because of modern technology, he added, the widely scattered components of the Negro nation would find it easier to communicate with each other than the original 13 states did.

Innis' proposals surprised and puzzled most non-American participants, who questioned the rationale and the practicability of the plan. Many of them said that they were surprised that Innis was advocating integration, was suggesting white peared to them to be a form of segregation meant for South Africa's apartheid policy.

Responding to questions, Innis denied that the Negro enclaves would be similar to those autonomous native regions of South Africa, he said, American Negroes have greater resources ability than Africans, and because the enclaves be designed to liberate the black population, white control. Several of the American delegates to prove to their foreign colleagues the impracticality of the plan, which one American termed and "racism carried as far as anti-racism."

Innis spoke at the afternoon session of the conference, the first full working day of which was been devoted to a critique of America's interna- tional problems. From the beginning, however, the discussion was transfixed by the topic of black power, non-Americans, at least, spent more time then criticizing.

The foreigners' obvious unfamiliarity with American scene prompted several of them to afterward whether the conference could ach-

## Kissinger Links Administrations

# No Crack In Postwar Foreign-Policy Mold

By J. F. TER HORST

North America Newspaper Alliance

WASHINGTON—By choosing Dr. Henry A. Kissinger as his chief international security expert at the White House level, President-elect Nixon appears to have ruled out any radical shift in American foreign policy.

The evidence is Kissinger's long identity and involvement with the persons and groups which have formulated basic U.S. policy since World War II. But if ... —and Nixon —have no argument over American purpose in foreign affairs, they do have an argument with the Johnson administration over methods.

It is in this category, judging by Kissinger's latest writings, that Nixon and his national security adviser hope to have the most imprint on national policy.

### Combined Rostow-Bundy

To evaluate Kissinger's role, it's important to see him as the White House link between the office of the President and the secretary of state.

Structurally, it's the same position that McGeorge Bundy, now head of the Ford Foundation, and Walt W. Rostow have filled the last eight years.

Nixon's yet-to-be-named secretary of state will of course, have ready access to the Presi-

dent. But Kissinger, acting as Nixon's closest foreign-policy consultant, is also a personification of Nixon's pledge that he intends to be his own policy maker.

But if Kissinger — and Nixon — what he has been telling his own foreign policy colleagues in recent months, the

Nixon administration will attempt to develop a blueprint not unlike the Grand Design concept that President Kennedy sought to work out—and which has been spurned the last five years by the so-called pragmatic, piecemeal approach of President Johnson.

Kissinger is the author of “Central Issues of American Foreign Policy,” the last chapter of a new publication by the Brookings Institution, “Agenda For The Nation.”

“A new administration,” Kissinger writes, “must recognize that in the field of foreign policy we will never be able to contribute to building a stable and creative world order unless we first form some conception of it.”

### End Of U.S. Hegemony

He goes on to say that the U.S. is no longer in a position to operate programs globally; it has to encourage them. It can no longer impose its preferred solution; it must seek to evoke it.

What's needed, Kissinger says, is an overall conception of what America's vital interests ae in relation to its global commitments. He calls for a restructuring of the NATO alliance in line with the problems of the 1970s and a policy to permit dealing with the Soviet Union without alternate smugness and panic.

The 45-year-old Harvard professor, a German-born naturalized American citizen, has been identified with the moderately hawkish side of the Vietnam argument. He has been an adviser to New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, a consultant on weaponry and foreign policy for the Council of Foreign Relations and for the U.S. National Security Council during the Kennedy years.

Among his first tasks for Nixon will be to reorganize the NSC, which has seldom been used under the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and to see how a stronger Atlantic alliance can be forged.

# Nixon Names Kissinger
To Foreign Policy Post

By PAUL HOFFMAN

President-elect Nixon today
named Prof. Henry A. Kissinger
of Harvard University as his
Assistant for National Security
Affairs.

He described it as "the first
appointment to the White House
staff in a major policy position."

The German-born Kissinger,
45, served as Gov. Rockefeller's
foreign policy adviser during
the pre-convention campaign.

In his new post, he'll be as-
sisted by Stanford University's
Richard V. Allen, who served
the same function for Nixon.

Kissinger's role will essential-
ly be that played by McGeorge
Bundy under President Kennedy
and Walt Rostow under John-
son.

A Planning Role

At a Hotel Pierre press con-
ference, Nixon stressed that
Kissinger's role would be long-
range planning rather than sol-
ution of immediate problems.

He also directed his new aide
to revamp the National Security
Council.

Both Nixon and Kissinger de-
clined to discuss their views on
specific foreign policy problems
except to rank Vietnam as "the
most immediate and pressing,"
with the Middle East second.
Nixon added that under Kiss-
singer "we would get the prob-
lems of Western Europe onto
the front burner."

Seeing Scranton

Kissinger, most noted for his
book "Nuclear Weapons and
Foreign Policy," is considered

a specialist on NATO problems.
His salary will be $30,000.

At present Kissinger is direc-

tor of Harvard's defense studies
program and head of the uni-
versity's international seminar.
He came to the U. S. 30 years
ago and was naturalized five
years after that.

In 1950 he was graduated
from Harvard summa cum
laude. He got his master's de-
gree there in 1952 and his PhD
in 1954.

The Big Man?

Asked if Kissinger might over-
shadow the man Nixon eventu-
ally appoints as Secretary of
State, the incoming chief execu-
tive said: "I intend to have a
very strong Secretary of State."

But he added that he had not
yet decided who that would be.

Nixon scheduled a meeting
later today with former Pa.
Gov. William Scranton, who
leaves tonight on a 10-day fact-
finding tour of the Middle East.

## Report Teachers Slapped

During the morning, according to United Federation of Teachers observer Vincent Speranza, two women teachers in JHS 271 were slapped, and the school's acting principal, John Mandracchia, resigned his post, saying there was inadequate supervision to maintain a proper educational atmosphere.

As a result, Johnson decided to close the school at midday, especially since he couldn't get any other teacher to accept the responsibility of serving as acting principal.

When Johnson tried to reach the room where the microphone for the school's loudspeaker system is kept, some of those who had come in early in the morning barred the trustee.

## Becomes Principal

For nearly two hours, the group blocked Johnson's way. At one point, he summoned a squad of detectives to clear the people from the building. They arrived at 1:35 p.m.

But after conferring with State Education Commissioner Allen by telephone, Johnson changed his mind, decided to keep the school open and appointed himself principal.

The third target was Win-gate HS.

Police who responded were also pummeled by some of the students, and two of them were reportedly hit by rocks.

Minutes later, the youths, supplemented by some Barton students, went down the street to Prospect Heights HS, where they staged another invasion.

Teacher Edwin Nathanson, 50, was on duty in the school lobby, and when the mob rushed past him, he tried to stop them. He was punched on the nose and knocked unconscious when he was hit on the head with a chair. He was taken to Brooklyn Jewish Hospital.

By this time, police were ready. riot call sent many police who had been held in reserve at JHS 271 to Wingate, about a mile away, and cops standing shoulder to shoulder kept the students out of the building.

Some of the students invaded the BMT shuttle Line between Franklin Av. and Prospect Park.

There are six stops between the other teacher, Jules Casalbore, was hit in the chest and knocked to the floor. He was kicked several times as he lay on the floor.

At 11:03 a.m., another group aboard an IRT 7th Av. train bound for Manhattan caused a 22-minute delay at the Brooklyn Museum station when they held doors open and pulled emergency cords.

There were other reports of trouble on the subways. One unidentified man told police several hundred students, most of them negroes, entered a Manhattan-bound RR train at Pacific St. He said the students robbed passengers, kicked some of them and shouted racial epithets at white passengers.

## Rally in Village

Many of the students aboard the subways were bound for Washington Square, where the City Wide Student Strike Committee rallied about 800 students in its continuing protest against the 45 minutes of extra daily teaching and the loss of full Christmas and Easter holidays.

Mounted police and patrolmen in squad cars kept the students from causing disruption of traffic. Similar groups on Friday had rallied at United Nations Plaza and then demonstrated on city streets.

Little happened in the square until Leslie Campbell, a suspended teacher from Ocean Hill-Brownsville, told the students

as the first working day
the strike, which began at
midnight Saturday.

Demands for electricity are
much heavier than during the
weekend because of the in-
leased use of subways, rail-
roads and elevators.

## Through Power

Another company spokesman
said the present capacity of the
generating plants was 6,500,-
0 kilowatts, more than suffi-
cient to handle the evening's
peak period, when the load was
expected to be 5,400,000 kilo-
atts.

He also said that there were
applications that industries and
householders would cooperate in
conserving electricity during
the period.

Meanwhile, State Mediation
Board Chairman McDonnell con-
cluded efforts to end the strike,
on Ed's first in 42 years.

But he was pessimistic about
balances for an early settlement.
Talks between the company
and Local 1-2 of the Utility
workers Union were scheduled
resume later in the day at
McDonnell's office at 270 Broad-
way.

There was speculation that
the strike would continue until
union leaders reached an agree-
ment with the rank-and-file on
their strike goals.

The members, by a vote of
9144 to 6423, rejected a proposed
contract after it had been
accepted by business agent
James Beamish last Wednesday.

No new management offer
has since been made, disclosed
Bernard Gallagher, Con Edison
vice president in charge of in-
dustrial relations. He said he
had been "surprised" by the
membership's rejection of the
Wednesday settlement.

## Some Concern

On a quiet Sunday, no major
problems erupted — although
there was some concern at 4:45
a.m. over a transformer fire at
the East River station on
14th St.

The blaze was controlled in 20
minutes. The only other incon-
venience came when some 85
pickets lay down in a truck exit
at the Astoria plant, trying to
halt trucks bringing food to su-
pervisory personnel inside. No
arrests were made.

Police kept order with ease
at most of the company's 12
power plants and other facilities,
and the supervisors had no dif-
ficulty providing the normal 3.5
million kilowatts of electricity
used by consumers last night,
the company said.

More than 1000 strikers pick-


eted Con Ed's headquarters at
14th St. and Irving Pl. but there
was no disorder.

William J. Ronan, head of the
Metropolitan Transportation Au-
thority, said subways could be
kept running unless there was
a total power blackout like the
one that darkened the entire
Northeast on Nov. 9, 1965, after
a fluke equipment failure.

Ronan said the subway sys-
tem has alternate power
sources that would be adequate
as long as Con Ed supplies
some juice.

Local 1-2 got some encour-
agement Saturday when Local
3 of the Intl. Brotherhod of
Electrical Workers changed their
minds about accepting the
Wednesday contract offer, and
joined the walkout with the 500
Con Ed employes it represents.

The causes of the rank-and-
file's adamant stand are rooted
in three major areas—pensions,
paid vacations and holiday over-
time pay.

The rejected contract report-
edly provided for a pension at
age 60 for anyone with 15 years
service — an improvement over
existing pension terms. But the
members balked over a clause
under which a man who retires
at 60 would lose part of his pen-
sion when he starts receiving
Social Security payments at 62,

Nixon Meets Today With Henry Kissinger

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Richard M. Nixon meets today with Henry Kissinger, a Harvard braintruster, in their fourth publicly announced meeting in eight days.

This coincides with reports around the Nixon headquarters that an important noneabinet appointment would be announced today.

Kissinger, 45, director of Harvard University's defense studies program and head of the Harvard International Seminar, was a federal consultant on national security matters early in the administration of the late President John F. Kennedy.

Kissinger has continued to

serve as a consultant on nuclear weaponry.

Sunday's developments around the Nixon camp hinted at the possibility the President-elect might not go as far as his campaign speeches indicated in substituting tax credits— requiring congressional approval—for direct federal subsidies in some aspects of the antipoverty program.

Robert Ellsworth, a top assist-
ant to Nixon, had lunch here
Sunday with Henry Ford II,
board chairman of the Ford Mo-
tor Co. and chairman of the Na-
tional Alliance of Businessmen
created earlier this year at the
behest of President Johnson.

The alliance has a goal of
creating 500,000 jobs for the
hardcore unemployed by early
1971. Businessmen train the re-
cruits for regular jobs, with the
federal government paying the
difference between the normal
cost of such training and—in
about one-third of all cases—the
higher cost of preparing the dis-
advantaged for similar em-
ployment. Congress appropriat-
ed 1200 million for such subsi-
dies to business in the fisca
year ending June 30.

During the campaign, Nixon
often talked about substituting
tax credits for subsidies in this
type of situation but, after Sun-
day's luncheon, Ellsworth said

Nixon is "hopeful and desirous"
of continuing the alliance pro-
gram "aggressively and
progressively."

The alliance already claims to
have trained 110,000 workers at
an average cost to the govern-
ment of $2,000.

Ford was asked about the rel-
ative merits of subsidies and
tax incentives. He termed it a
"toss of the coin" proposition
and said "It is not definitely
clear that one way is better
than the other."

PRESIDENT-ELECT Richard M. Nixon stands with Harvard Prof. Henry A. Kissinger, left, and Richard V. Allen at news conference in New Monday. Nixon said he is making the 45-year-old Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs. Nixon named Allen, 42, as a "principal associate" of Kissinger's. Allen is a senior staff member at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University.—AP

Physicist Nixon's Science Adviser

NEW YORK (UPI)—President-elect Richard M. Nixon, his administration beginning to take shape, today names as his chief science adviser Dr. Lee A. Dubridge, president of the California Institute of Technology.

Nixon was to introduce Dub-

ridge, a long-time personal friend and a renowned physicist, at a news conference later today.

Dubridge, who will take a leave of absence from Caltech, has met with the President-elect several times since Nixon's

election to help map plans for scientific programs in his administration.

He told newsmen after a meeting with Nixon last week that he was not a candidate for a White House post but that as a patriotic American he could not turn a firm presidential offer down.

"No scientist will decline an important government position if offered one," he said. He will replace Dr. John P. Horning, President Johnson's science adviser.

Both in Agreement

Durbridge said he and Nixon agree on the need for government to stimulate science and technology and on the need for collaboration in space exploration with "friendly" countries in Western Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Nixon named the first high-level policy maker in his administration Monday when he appointed Dr. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard University as his assistant for national security.

Appearing at a joint news conference with Kissinger at his Hotel Pierre headquarters, Nixon charged him to bring "creativity" into American foreign policy and defense planning and to revitalize and streamline the National Security Council.

In his new post, Kissinger will be the chief liaison between the President and the State and Defense Departments. He will occupy the position now held by Walt W. Rostow, Johnson's national security adviser, although their specific duties will vary.

Security Post
For Kissinger

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Richard M. Nixon announced today he is making Harvard Prof. Henry A. Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs to oversee the foreign 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 has 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.

Sunday's developments around the Nixon camp hinted at the possibility the President-elect might not go as far as his campaign speeches indicated in substituting tax credits—requiring congressional approval—for direct federal subsidies in some aspects of the antipoverty program.

High Advisory Post
Due For Kissinger?

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

It is widely believed, however, that the new chief executive will almost have to have a close personal adviser in this area, even if he changes the job's title.

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 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.

By James Reston

NEW YORK — President elect Richard M. Nixon's appointment of Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard as his White House assistant for national security affairs is a reassuring sign that the new administration is going to make a serious and objective reappraisal of its security problems and priorities.

Dr. Kissinger, who took his doctoral degree at Harvard under McGeorge Bundy, has been concentrating on precisely these problems for years in Cambridge and at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and it is significant that he has the respect of most of the foreign-policy experts who have served the last three presidents.

He is an intelligent, articulate and remarkably industrious scholar, who also has had the experience of being a consultant to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson on many of the critical problems of the last decade — from Berlin to arms control.

No doubt the Soviets will have their doubts about a German-born official being established as head of the security operations room in the basement of the White House, but his record scarcely supports his journalistic reputation as a foreign-policy hardliner.

It is true that both he and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York helped persuade Nixon that a reasonable period of time should be allowed to go by after the Soviet invasion of

Czechoslovakia before going forward with new arms-control negotiations with the Soviet leaders.

His record as a whole, however, indicates he is a cautious and reflective man who is prudent about the use of military power and does not hesitate to change policies when they seem to be going against the national interest.

He worked very closely with Jerome Wiesner, Thomas C. Schelling and others on the formulation of "the strategy of equilibrium" for dealing with the Soviet nuclear threat. This was based on the view that the best hope for peace and arms control lay in creating a situation where, in Wiesner's words, "a surprise attack by one side cannot prevent retaliation by the other."

This stable deterrent system, it should be noted, did not rest, as Nixon's campaign speeches seemed to rest, on the assumption that the United States must always have a clear superiority in military arms over the Soviets. Kissinger has always seemed to agree on the need for a powerful balance of power, but, like Winston Churchill, has felt that there is "no need to make the rubble bounce." In fact, the theory behind the "stable deterrent system" was that it would eventually make it possible to limit the size of the deterrent of the nuclear race.

Also, at the time of the Berlin crisis of 1961, early in the Kennedy administration, Kissinger worked with Abram Chayes, Carl Keysen, and Arthur Schlesinger Jr. to try to bring about a diplomatic settlement. At that time, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson had argued for a bolder military strategy for bringing the crisis to a diplomatic settlement, if necessary by running a military convoy through Helmstadt along the autobahn to Berlin.

Kissinger and the others opposed this on the ground that all other diplomatic initiatives should be tried before any such test of strength were threatened or mounted and this view finally prevailed with President Kennedy. Acheson is not one of Kissinger's most enthusiastic supporters.

There is also reason for believing that Kissinger was primarily responsible for persuading Rockefeller to moderate his policies on Vietnam during the presidential campaign. So Nixon has chosen an adviser who can not be easily characterized as a hardliner or a softliner, but as a careful student of power and the machinery of government for analyzing and exercising power.

The president-elect's emphasis on the reorganization and strengthening of the National Security Council is also reassuring. This cabinet committee for helping the president reach his decisions on vital security questions has been seriously weakened under Kennedy and Johnson. Kissinger will now have the task of restoring it to the authority it had under President Eisenhower.

It is odd, in a way, that Kissinger should have been chosen by Nixon before the secretary of state was selected, and this may lead to some friction, for Kissinger will be closer to the center of power than most top officials at State, and he is a more forceful advocate than the normal run of State Department officials.

Nevertheless, it is significant that his appointment is now being widely praised by men like Bundy and Schlesinger and the other foreign-policy watchers in the Western world.

ATLANTIC CITY — Nineteen city-wide conventions with an estimated attendance of a 250,000 delegates are scheduled for the coming year as a nucleus of the nearly 500 organizations, large and small, which are expected to hold their sessions here in 1969.

Meanwhile, December, the resort's lightest convention month, closes out the year with a listing of 12 organizations and a total estimated attendance of some 5,000 delegates.

Consequently it is not surprising that the resort is pushing for the big addition to Convention Hall which will increase the size of that structure from 350,000 square feet of exhibit space to 550,000 square feet. Work is scheduled to start Feb. 1.

At present the big hall has been temporarily converted into a 12,000 seat stadium with a full-sized indoor football field for a series of games to be maximized by the Boardwalk Bowl on Dec. 14 with the University of Delaware meeting Indiana, Pa. State University for the NCAA Atlantic Coast College Division Championship.

FOOTBALL gives the big convention hall an opportunity to display its versatility. The first football game on a full-sized indoor gridiron was played here back in 1930 with Washington and Jefferson meeting Lafayette. Since that time hundreds of contests have been staged on the indoor field.

The first shipment of stones, carefully numbered and catalogued, is already on hand in a locked enclosure. They and many more to arrive must wait completion of engineering plans and the digging of a mile-long channel.

### Nixon's Economic Course

THE APPOINTMENT of Dr. Paul D. McCracken as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers should go far toward assuring the nation that President-elect Nixon will not try to turn the clock back on the economic gains of the past seven years.

Critics who have been denouncing Nixon's policies even before he takes office have predicted he would follow conservative economists and accept a rise in unemployment to gain stability in prices. McCracken's appointment would indicate otherwise.

McCracken, a member of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Eisenhower administration, may not be a dedicated disciple of the "new economics." But he has indicated he would follow the principle of using federal spending and taxing powers to encourage economic growth, a high rate of employment, and price stability. These are the techniques used successfully by Dr. Walter Heller, who was chief economic adviser to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Coupled with the proper use of monetary tools, they can be successful again, provided they are not weakened in the political process.

The appointment of McCracken, now of the University of Michigan and a one-time research director for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, comes on the heels of two others of similar importance. These are Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, of Harvard, as Nixon's chief adviser on national security affairs, and Lee A. DuBridge, retiring president of the California Institute of Technology, as his science adviser. They indicate Nixon is striving to fulfill his pledge of seeking "the best minds" to serve the administration.

Key Assignment for Kissinger—
"To Prevent Crises, Not Just React"

One of the principal tasks of the chief assistant on national-security affairs in the Nixon Administration will be "to prevent crises from happening."

The man who will have that job—one of the most sensitive and influential policy posts in the executive branch—is Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, professor of government at Harvard.

President-elect Richard M. Nixon has instructed Dr. Kissinger to start immediately on "a complete reorganization and restructuring of the entire White House security-planning machinery." Part of the plan is to "revitalize the National Security Council," as Mr. Nixon put it, "so we may not just react, ... but so we can have a planned policy in effect."

**Long-range view.** Dr. Kissinger said that the idea is to avoid giving complete emphasis to immediate problems and to "try to develop middle-term and long-range policy and contingency plans for foreseeable emergencies."

The appointment of Dr. Kissinger—an expert on defense policy who has served as an adviser to the last three Presidents—won immediate praise both at home and abroad. Democrats as well as Republicans saw the choice as a bright sign for the incoming Administration.

For one thing, Dr. Kissinger has achieved wide respect for his forthright views on world affairs and for his scholarly writings. The "liberals" saw less possibility of a cleavage they had feared might develop between intellectuals and the next Administration.

Mr. Nixon said the appointment was his first one "in a major policy position." Both he and Dr. Kissinger said they plan to draw on the best talents available for advice.

**Emphasis on Europe?** Some political observers have expressed the view that Mr. Nixon plans to give more emphasis to Europe than has President Johnson.

Dr. Kissinger is an expert on European affairs, and the President-elect said one of his assistant's first jobs will be to "examine our relations with Europe and see how we can strengthen them."

It will be Dr. Kissinger's first full-time position in Government. But he has often been an adviser, and recently was chief consultant to the State Department on foreign policy and U.S. security. Earlier this year, he was a foreign-policy adviser to Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York when Mr. Rockefeller sought the presidential nomination.

Dr. Kissinger has been acquainted

with Mr. Nixon only about a year. But the President-elect said he knew Dr. Kissinger through the Kissinger writings.

Though he has a reputation as a "hard-liner" in dealings with the Communists, Dr. Kissinger said he has tried to avoid such labels.

Dr. Kissinger has made these points among others: that Western Europe should take over more military responsibility in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; that there should be an "understanding" of French nationalism; that the top military men have a right to express openly their views on military is-

DR. KISSINGER will be chief aide to Mr. Nixon on national-security affairs.

sues; and that it is "impossible to impose an American design" on the world.

About Vietnam, Dr. Kissinger says:

"Whatever the outcome of the war ... it is clear that it has greatly diminished American willingness to become involved in this form of warfare elsewhere. Its utility as a precedent has therefore been undermined."

**A "changeable" realist.** Those who know Dr. Kissinger or have read his many works say he is a realist who is not afraid to change his mind.

Dr. Kissinger, 45, was born in Germany and came to this country in 1938. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He served in the U. S. Army in World War II.

Named to serve with Dr. Kissinger as

a principal associate on the staff of the National Security Council was Dr. Richard V. Allen, 32. Dr. Allen is senior staff member of the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. He was director of foreign-policy research during the campaign.

An expert on Soviet affairs, Dr. Allen is described by his associates as being thoroughly skeptical of just about everything the Communists say.

(Other views of Dr. Kissinger, p. 45)

Nixon's New
Link to Scientists

For his science adviser, Richard M. Nixon has picked a man he hopes can "bridge the gap" between the nation's scientists and politicians. The President-elect referred to such a gap and spelled out this particular assignment for his new adviser, Dr. Lee A. DuBridge, when he named him on December 3.

Mr. Nixon said he thought Dr. DuBridge—retiring president of the California Institute of Technology—would be able "to reassure the scientific community that our interest in them is not simply what they can produce, but also in how they can counsel us and how they can advise us."

One way Dr. DuBridge may seek closer relations is to push for added spending for research. He has already said that both federal and private spending in this field should be increased.

Science and technology cannot be "turned off and on like a faucet," Dr. DuBridge said.

The appointment of Dr. DuBridge brought expressions of delight from the scientific and academic communities.

Dr. DuBridge is a physicist who is primarily interested in pure science—that is, the attainment of knowledge. However, his practical side has led him to serve on various advisory boards, as consultant to several Government agencies and as president of Caltech for 22 years.

**The duties.** As science adviser to the President, Dr. DuBridge will present recommendations on scientific and technical matters, and attempt to win support for Mr. Nixon's policies in this field.

Matters with which Dr. DuBridge may be concerned include, among others, the space effort, weapons research, pollution.

Dr. DuBridge said it is important that the U.S. "meet its commitments" in its attempt to put a man on the moon, and he added that an "urgent matter" is the future of the space program.

Dr. DuBridge, 67, established a repu-

# Kissinger Mistrusts Soviets, Says U.S. Must Know Its Role

HENRY A. KISSINGER
He's Cool Toward Detente

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Henry Kissinger, who will be Richard M. Nixon's closest adviser on foreign policy, believes the United States has been entirely too eager to read into the Soviet mind a desire for peaceful accommodation where none actually existed.

This willingness to seize upon and inflate symbols rather than to demand substance in the search for coexistence has been a mistake, he argues, and may actually have strengthened the hand of Kremlin hardliners by allowing them to collect the rewards of conciliation at no sacrifice.

Rather than trying to read the minds of the Russians, he says, the United States probably needs a clearcut, systematic "conception of our role in the world."

Kissinger, 45, a Harvard professor who immigrated to the United States from his native Germany at 15, will hold in Nixon's administration the post of special assistant for national security affairs held by Walt W. Rostow in the Johnson administration and before that by Kissinger's old boss, McGeorge Bundy, former dean of the Harvard faculty. In a sense he will serve as Nixon's personal State Department as opposed to the actual secretary of state, a public figure and director of a far-flung bureaucracy.

"I believe very strongly that the position of a White House assistant is inconsistent with making public statements on substantive matters," Kissinger told reporters following his designation by Nixon last Monday. Like Rostow, while one of the most influential men in govern-

ment, he will rarely be heard, from in public.

But his views most recently were spelled out in detail in a paper he wrote for a Brookings Institution book, "Agenda for the Nation," published last week.

Here he argued that a willingness in the West "to be content with changes of Soviet tone and to confuse atmosphere with substance" actually has set back movement toward peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union.

"It has enabled the Communist leaders to postpone the choice which they must make sooner or later: Whether to use detente as a dtrvice to lull the West or whether to move toward differences" between Moscow

and Washington.

He argued:

"The eagerness of many in the West to emphasize the liberalizing implications of Soviet economic trends and to make favorable interpretation of Soviet intentions a test of good faith may have the paradoxial consequences of strengthening the Soviet hard-liners.

"Soviet troops had hardly arrived in Prague when some western leaders began to insist that the invasion would not affect the quest for detente while others continued to indicate a nostalgia for high level meetings. Such an attitude hardly serves the cause of peace.

"The risk is great that if there is no penalty for intransigence there is no incentive for

conciliation. The Kremlin may use negotiations—including arms control — as a safety valve to dissipate western suspicions rather than as a serious endeavor to resolve concrete disputes or to remove the scourge of nuclear war."

# New Nixon High-Level Aide Called An Expert On Defense

By United Press International

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger — assistant to the President — elect for national security affairs.

Henry Alfred Kissinger is a pleasant, quiet speaking man of 5-foot-10 who could lose himself in a crowd. But he towers as an expert on matters of national defense.

Kissinger, a bespectacled 45 and conservative in dress and manner, fled from Nazi Germany with his family 30 years ago. He still speaks with the trace of a German accent.

A member of Harvard University's Center for International Affairs, Kissinger is well versed in U.S. involvement in Vietnam — and its behind the scenes efforts to become untangled from the Southeast Asia hotspot.

Kissinger has advised every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower and while on sabbatical leave from his post at Harvard

University, he served as a special adviser to then - Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge in Vietnam.

He fled as a refugee to this country in 1938 and later became a naturalized American citizen. He was graduated from Harvard summa cum laude in 1950, received his masters degree two years later and added his Ph.D — also from Harvard — in 1954.

His book "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy" was published in 1957 and quickly became a source book for top-level American policy-makers. It rocketed Kissinger into the "inner circle" of Washington planners.

He also headed a special study of this country's defense setup during 1956-58 for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and was a consultant to Nelson A. Rockefeller when the New York governor was undersecretary of

Health, Education and Welfare.

The professor, who will take a leave from Harvard to take up his consultant's role with President-elect Richard M. Nixon, also has been an adviser to the National Security Council and the Defense Department.

Kissinger wrote an essay entitled "Central Issues of American Foreign Policy" for a Brookings Institution publication, "Agenda for the Nation." In it, the educator - consultant says the United States can't hope to soothe the trouble of the world unless it draws up some concept of order.

"The most profound challenge to American policy," he wrote, "will be philosophical: to develop some concept of order in a world which is bipolar militarily and multipolar politically . . . in the field of foreign policy we will never be able to contribute to building a stable and creative world order unless we first form

some conception of it."

Kissinger was instrumental in an abortive Vietnam peace bid in the summer of 1967, in addition to his secret meetings with W. Averell Harriman and other top-level personnel since 1965.

In 1967, two Frenchmen — one a former friend of Ho Chi Minh — went to Hanoi with instructions from the U.S. government on what it was looking for

in an effort to halt the war in South Vietnam. Kissinger had met both Frenchmen while in Europe.

When Kissinger debriefed the Frenchmen after their return from Hanoi, it appeared favorable to secret peace moves. However, Hanoi refused a second visit by the two and the peace feeler died.

# Nixon turns to Harvard

The eyes of the world are focused now on Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger, 45-year-old German born Harvard University scholar. For he is the man chosen by President-elect Nixon to be his assistant for national security affairs. Today there is no position more sensitive or more important in the executive branch of the federal government below the chief executive.

It's interesting that Mr. Nixon should turn to the Harvard University faculty for this principal adviser. The late President Kennedy started that custom when he turned to his alma mater for assistance and received an enthusiastic response.

Just what kind of man Dr. Kissinger is, what his philosophy is, what his cool is, are factors which interest and concern the American people. His name is no household word yet, but he is known, and known well, to the international policy makers. He has been a continuing adviser to our State Department since the beginning of the Kennedy administration.

He was Governor Rockefeller's adviser in his unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination at Miami and is given credit for moving

the Republican platform makers from a hawkish stand.

He believes in military strength for a proper foundation for negotiation. His associates say he is a bit of a hard-liner but questions if what we have been doing in Southeast Asia justifies the purpose of establishing stability and freedom in that part of the world.

At the age of 15 he with his parents escaped from the Hitler regime in Nazi Germany. He served in the ranks during World War II with our 84th Infantry and wound up as a sergeant. His scholarship attainments at Harvard since are stunning.

The Boston Globe, in searching the Cambridge campus for an estimate by colleagues and students of Dr. Kissinger, came up with a single word—expert. This is encouraging. We need the finest minds and the bravest leaders in Washington.

# NATIONAL SECURITY AIDE FOR NIXON IS CAUTIOUS

NEW YORK (AP)—Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, President-elect Richard M. Nixon's new assistant for national security affairs, is compact, square-jawed and circumspect.

Ask him, for example, how he will counsel Nixon on the war in Vietnam:

I BELIEVE very strongly that the position of a White House assistant is inconsistent with making public statements on substantive matters."

His speech is brisk, businesslike and marked by the lingering accent of his native Germany.

At 45, Kissinger has an 18-year string of credits as a consultant to government agencies, and a reputation in the foreign affairs community as something of a hard-liner on dealings with the Communist world.

KISSINGER has written five books, dozens of magazine articles, on foreign and defense policy.

He joined the faculty of Harvard University in 1954, now is a professor in the Department of Government. He has been a consultant to the State Department since 1965, and to an array of other government agencies in the security field.

Kissinger, who came to the United States in 1938, is a graduate of Harvard University, and earned his doctorate there.

HE SERVED three years in the Army counterintelligence corps during World War II.

His acquaintance with Nixon dates to a Christmas party little more than a year ago at the New York home of Clare Boothe Luce. But Nixon said he knew Kissinger long before through his writings. He mentioned particularly a 1957 book, "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy."

Nixon said several men were under

consideration for the assignment he gave Kissinger. "I felt that at this time there was a need to bring to government someone who had never had that responsibility before," he said.

THE NEW job is Kissinger's first full time position in government; he is seeking leave from Harvard.

Kissinger was born in Fuerth, Germany, on May 27, 1923. He became a naturalized citizen at the age of 20.

He is the father of two children.

NICK THIMMESCH

Washington—The President-elect is enjoying privately expressed satisfaction from the salutes he won for his appointment last week of Henry A. Kissinger as his national security adviser, Dr. Paul W. McCracken to head the Council of Economic Advisers, and Dr. Lee A. DuBridge to be his science adviser. Somehow, everyone from Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the academician-turned-liberal polemicist, to William Buckley, the droll voice of the right, purred approvingly.

Nick Thimmesch

If that wasn't enough to make Richard M. Nixon's brown eyes glisten, why the New York Times, always sour on Nixon, fairly gushed over his choices. Of Nixon's appointment of Kissinger, Schlesinger said: "I think it's an excellent appointment. It's very encouraging. He's the best they'll get." Not bad from a man who has already expressed doubt that Nixon is up to the presidency.

"I will sleep better with Henry Kissinger in Washington," said Harvard Professor Adam Yarmolinsky, a gifted fellow who suffered as scapegoat for the rightwing when he was in the Kennedy administra-

tion. "A good appointment," piped in Prof. John Kenneth Galbraith, whose liberal octane tests high and who ritualistically sneers at the mention of Nixon's name.

Bill Buckley, a Yale man, explained to me that these liberal gents offered their okays because they feel "Kissinger is one of ours. He's Harvard, you know. I don't think they've read Kissinger's books which have a hard line on communism. I am very pleased. So far, so good on the Nixon appointments."

The current issue of he ultra conservative Human Events declares: "Kissinger has been generally greeted with cautious optimism by foreign policy experts who want the new administration to develop a tougher line toward the Communist world. Not all conservatives are enchanted with the professor, but the majority believe that he will pursue a realistic approach in world affairs."

Human Events also says the Dr. DuBridge, as Nixon's science adviser, is "a better selection than many he could have made... Conservatives are not at all happy with the fact that DuBridge probably will not cut down on federal spending boondoggles and that he made a forthright defense of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer after Oppenheimer had admitted having lied to federal officials about security matters."

Nixon Wins Praise Left and Right

From Richard Barnett, co-director of the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies, comes this appraisal: "Kissinger is the best possible appointment to be expected from Nixon, especially when compared with Walt Rostow (President Johnson's special assistant for national security affairs). He is not a wild ideologue as Rostow has been. I disagree with Kissinger on many issues. He made his reputation on a dangerous book calling for use of nuclear power in foreign policy. But it's meaningless to put a label on him. Kissinger is a Republican who worked for Rockefeller and shows good balance. We like DuBridge, who supported Oppenheimer, over some fantastic conservative like Dr. Willard Libby whom Nixon might have chosen."

In brief, the facts are that these appointees are nonsense Republicans, the sort of men Nixon loves to sit down and talk business with. None is an ideologue, a man pursuing a preconception.

Each is a respected professional, whom ideologues probably envy. Nixon feels it is worth the extra time and effort to choose such men who he thinks will help reunify the country.

The Cabinet appointments Nixon will announce this week, in clusters perhaps, will further test his notions on reunification.

(Continued)

during the Nixon cam-

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 a istant 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, re-ferring to Kissinger, said: "His first assignment is to go to Washington—I hope immedi-ately."

Federal Consultant

Kissinger is director of Har-vard University's defense stud-ies program and head of the Harvard International Seminar. He was a federal consultant on national security matters early in the administration of Presi-dent John F. Kennedy and con-tinued to serve as a consultant on nuclear weaponry.

He came to the United States in 1938 and was naturalized in 1943. He was graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in 1950, and got his master's de-gree there in 1952 and his doctor of philosophy in 1954.

Sunday's developments around the Nixon camp hinted at the possibility the President-elect might not go as far as his cam-paign speeches indicated in sub-stituting tax credits—requiring congressional approval—for di-rect federal subsidies in some aspects of the anti-poverty pro-gram.

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 conferred yesterday with the president-elect in his temporary headquarters in the Pierre Hotel for the third time in five days. The two men met previously on Monday, and Wednesday.

Nixon sources would not confirm that a firm offer had been made, but conceded that the president-elect would welcome into his administration a man of Kissinger's range and abilities. Sources in the academic community of which Kissinger is a part and elsewhere asserted that overtures had been made, but that Kissinger had made no final decision.

Kissinger himself could not be reached for comment.

It is believed that if Kissinger accompanied Nixon to Washington he would occupy one of two posts, either 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.

NEW MAN FOR THE SITUATION ROOM

His title is a jawbreaker, his functions well masked from the general public. Yet when Harvard Political Scientist Henry Alfred Kissinger assumes the role of Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, operating out of the Situation Room in the White House basement, he will automatically become one of the most important men in the U.S.

Kissinger's appointment, the first one Nixon has made to a major policymaking position, won wide praise from academe. Harvard Law Professor Adam Yarmolinsky, who spent six years at the Pentagon under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, declared: "We'll all sleep a little better each night knowing that

as a hard- or soft-liner, he replied: "I have tried to avoid labels like 'hard' or 'soft,'" Moreover, he has vigorously criticized those who wear such labels. "Soft-liners [and] left-wing critics of American foreign policy seem incapable of attacking U.S. actions without elevating our opponent to a pedestal," he wrote in the Brookings Institution's recently published *Agenda for the Nation*. "If they discern some stupidity or self-interest on our side, they assume that the other side must be virtuous." As for hard-liners, he continued, they "follow the same logic in reverse."

**Riposte Removed.** In his first published book, the widely hailed *Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy* (1957), Kissinger emphasized the dangers of overreliance on the concept of massive retaliation and called for the adoption of a more flexible response—three years before General Maxwell Taylor made headlines with the same argument. There are those, however, who insist that the flexible-response approach has, in fact, made the U.S. more vulnerable to limited, "brush-fire" actions since the threat of a nuclear riposte has been all but removed. Kissinger has also deplored the notion that the U.S. should seek to establish overwhelming military superiority over the Soviet Union on the grounds that this would destroy the balance of power that is needed in a nuclear world. In *A World Restored* (also 1957), on Metternich and post-Napoleonic Europe, Kissinger wrote, "The desire of one power for absolute security means absolute insecurity for all the others."

That position places him squarely at odds with Nixon's campaign argument that the U.S. should abandon the concept of nuclear parity. He has disagreed with Nixon on other issues. Through the campaign, Kissinger served as New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller's principal foreign policy adviser, and on more than one occasion implied that he regarded Nixon as the least qualified of all the presidential candidates, and even as a dangerous man. But Kissinger, who first met Nixon last year at a Christmas party in Clare Boothe Luce's Manhattan apartment, discovered during his recent talks with the President-elect that they shared a number of views—most notably on the need to shore up NATO, establish closer relations with France and West Germany and keep the U.S. militarily strong.

Born in Fuerth, Germany, in 1923, Kissinger came to the U.S. in 1938, when his family fled from Hitler, still speaks with a noticeable accent. After four years as a World War II enlisted man, including a year and a half in Army counter-intelligence in Europe, he received his bachelor's (*summa cum laude*), master's and doctoral degrees from Harvard. He served as a White House consultant during the first 18 months of the Kennedy Administration,

*Absolute is not the word for security.*

Henry is down there." One who viewed Nixon's choice with outright misgiving, however, was Nuclear Physicist Ralph Lapp, who has often been at odds with the nation's scientific Establishment for its overinvolvement with the military. He argued that Kissinger is an un-reconstructed hard-liner.

**Hard or Soft?** Lapp is not the only American with that view of Kissinger. Herman Kahn, head of the Hudson Institute "think tank" and long an influential consultant to the Pentagon, once noted that the creator of the film character Dr. Strangelove used "part Henry Kissinger, part myself, with a touch of Wernher von Braun" for a model. In fact, claims Yarmolinsky, "the resemblance is entirely superficial. He is no war lover, period." Rather, Kissinger is acknowledged by most of his colleagues as a thoroughgoing "realist" among the often dogmatic band of thinkers known as "defense intellectuals."

When a reporter asked Kissinger last week if he would characterize himself

the foreign field on a crisis-to-crisis basis without sufficient advance planning. Talking of the Eisenhower years, Nixon said that the NSC had been "the controlling element in our success in keeping the peace." He attributed "most of our serious reverses abroad since 1960 to the inability or disinclination of President Eisenhower's successors to make effective use of the council."

Whatever the system employed, there can be no argument that a world power must constantly seek to anticipate major problems and to be prepared with fresh ideas to cope with them. Kissinger said that his major assignment would be to "make certain that the planning mechanism of the Government functions more effectively and presents to the President all of the relevant contingencies and choices." This implies liberating Kissinger from much of the hour-to-hour drudgery—the monitoring of cables from abroad and memorandums from agencies in Washington—that kept Bundy and Rostow tied to the "situation room" beneath the White House. It also means that greater freedom of action in routine matters will be entrusted to the operating departments, particularly State. Nixon, said Kissinger, "urged me to make sure that his staff and his advisers free themselves for long-range thinking to prevent crises from happening, rather than spend all of their energies on managing crises that might have been avoided."

### Under No Gun. 
Like most proposed reforms, Nixon's looked fine on paper. Whether in fact they will prove more efficacious than the present system is uncertain. Much will depend on the quality of the brainpower assembled under Kissinger, the ability of the State Department and the Pentagon to function more independently than at present while still satisfying the President, and whether the pace and press of developments abroad permit the top echelon of Government the luxury of deep thought.

While still President-elect, contemplating both foreign and domestic affairs and the shape of his Administration, Nixon is enjoying the exertion of power without the pressure of urgent responsibility. "He's not under the gun," says one aide, "not in his own mind. He's going to be damned sure it's put together right, and with the right people." The announcement of Cabinet officers was due this week, but Nixon was not rushing matters. He was not even in a hurry to nominate a new Chief Justice, although he has frequently criticized the Supreme Court's decisions on police practices and criminal law. Earl Warren's resignation, originally submitted to Johnson last June, now will not take effect until the end of the current court term, probably in six months. Thus the work of the court will not be disrupted.

AS Richard Nixon intimates people "When there's trouble, the wants Bob." Nixon all but annoued last week that he had chosen his friend Robert Hutchison Finch for retary of Health, Education and fare. In a jocular speech, Finch, remarked, "I've worked with the President-elect a long time and I can say you there hasn't been much health it, there hasn't been much welfare in it but it's been a damn good education. In the process, he has matured as a consummate politician who is likely to the next President's No. 1 domestic problem solver and technician.

### Help Needed. 
Few public figures recent times have been so closely linked as Finch and Nixon. They first met in Washington in 1947 when the President-elect was a freshman Congressman and Finch was a congressional aide. It was the start of a political career for which Finch had long prepared.

He had earned a political science degree from Occidental College and received a law degree from U.S.C. in 1950. Shortly thereafter, he entered and won two congressional races. But between these beatings, Finch developed a lucky law practice and a solid grounding in California politics. In 1956 he was named chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Los Angeles County. He did well for two years, but after the G.O.P.'s debacle in the 1958 congressional elections, he needed help. At Nixon's request, Finch came to Washington, where he showed his gratitude running a magnificently organized convention drive to head off Rockefeller in 1960. After Nixon's nominating Finch served as campaign manager.

### Blocked at Home. 
Finch helped organize Nixon's 1962 gubernatorial campaign, but even as Nixon lost, Finch started to get the political fever again. The political winds at the time were blowing hard toward Ronald Reagan and a wiser Finch decided to skip the big contest and content himself with the lieutenant-governorship. In a surprisingly large victory, Finch succeeded in outpiling Reagan by about 100,000 votes. All through this period, Finch mained close to Nixon. When Nixon decided to run for the presidency in 1964 Finch was one of the first to start wheels rolling.

After the election, there was little doubt that Finch, if he wished, could come a member of the Cabinet. The question that remained was one of own political ambitions. What he wanted was to return to California and succeed the ailing Senator George McCarthy in 1970. But Murphy told Finch that he intended to run for a second term. Blocked at home, Finch decided to cast his lot once more with Nixon.

but his influence waned after he argued that it was anomalous to send 16,000 "advisers" to Viet Nam just when the decision was being made to neutralize Laos. Since 1965, he has made three trips to Viet Nam for the Johnson Administration.

**First Priority.** In the Brookings Institution study, Kissinger maintained that a "comprehensive, bipartisan, high-level re-evaluation of all aspects of national security" should be one of the first orders of business for the new Administration. The primary requirement is for "a definition of the national interest and national security over the next decade," since in his view the ultra-empirical U.S. too often handles developments on an ad hoc basis, without any clearly defined purpose or overall view. In his five books and a raft of magazine articles, Kissinger has set forth his viewpoints on how the U.S. should handle some of the major geopolitical issues of the day:

*   **FLEXIBLE RESPONSE:** "The Romans stampeded the first time they confronted Hannibal's elephants, not because the elephants were particularly effective but because the Romans had never considered a mode for dealing with such a contingency," Kissinger wrote in *Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy*. Consequently, the U.S. needs "a doctrine [whose] task will be to prevent us from being continually surprised." Kissinger argued that weaponry and personnel should be set up to cope with any contingency, so that force could be resisted without inevitable resort to nuclear weapons (though he envisioned the use of tactical nuclear weapons without incinerating the world).

*   **THE ATLANTIC ALLIANCE:** "The most constructive American foreign policy since the end of World War II has been the development of Atlantic relationships," he wrote in *The Troubled Partnership* (1965). Arguing that the Allies want leadership—not hegemony—from the U.S., he strongly defended De Gaulle for his efforts "to teach his people and perhaps his Continent attitudes of independence and self-reliance." He also paid tribute to the French President as a man who, like himself, recognizes that peace is not a natural condition but the result of a carefully maintained balance of power.

*   **VIET NAM:** Kissinger dates the beginning of U.S. error to 1961, when the number of American advisers was expanded twentyfold. He argues that a U.S.-style political structure cannot be superimposed on Viet Nam. He also maintains that doing battle with the North has only complicated matters. Thus, he privately called for a bombing halt over the North in early 1967. In mid-1968, he was instrumental in preparing a peace proposal offered by Nelson Rockefeller. It called for a phased troop pullback, the end of guerrilla warfare by the Viet Cong, internationally supervised elections, and finally Saigon-Hanoi negotiations on reunification.

idea was something of a triumph for the incoming Administration. Throughout the campaign Nixon had stressed his reliance on the private sector in coping with domestic problems as the principal difference between his approach and the Democrats'. Mills himself is no big-spender. His insistence on economies as the price for enacting the income tax surcharge last June caused a lengthy deadlock with Lyndon Johnson. But Mills opposes tax remission as "backdoor spending," a bookkeeping gambit that can reduce the tax base and make the federal budget even more misleading than it already is.

**No Grand Schemes.** One factor that helped to mollify Mills was Nixon's apparent agreement that any tax breaks allowed to private industry—to subsidize job training for the unemployed, for

instance—be listed in the budget as expenditures. Also, when Mills preached to Nixon on the virtues of an austere spending program and the vices of cooking the books, he found a receptive audience.

Of course, one comfortable talk does not necessarily ensure protracted harmony between a Republican President and a Democratic Congress. Mills, for instance, still opposes Nixon's proposal to gear increases in social security benefits to rises in the cost of living. At least three other areas of dispute are already discernible:

* DEFENSE SPENDING. If Nixon insists on a large-scale buildup of military strength to close what he has called the security gap, he will likely run into heavy opposition, particularly in the Senate.

* THE SPACE PROGRAM. Nixon has been a vigorous advocate of space exploration. Congress is likely to pick space as a target for retrenchment rather than expansion.

* THE INCOME TAX SURCHARGE. Scheduled to expire June 30, the 10% surcharge worth more than $10 billion a year, will be crucial in budgetary considerations. Nixon would like to see it ended, but on the other hand he is pledged to check inflation. Mills and other fiscal conservatives who initially opposed the tax now argue that it may be necessary to keep it unless Government spending is reduced.

Other issues will emerge as Nixon presents his detailed proposals and as Democratic leaders more liberal than Mills seek to produce their own alternatives. So far, the Democrats have unveiled no grand schemes for the 91st Congress. Their main effort may well be to preserve and finance Great Society programs. Nixon is now in the process of determining how much he can safely demand—and how he can get the opposition to meet him halfway.
