Nixon picks are qualified

During the campaign President-elect Richard Nixon said he intended to get "the very best men and women I can find in the country—from business, from government, from labor, from all of the areas—bring them to Washington as a team, give them responsibility."

This obviously was more than campaign oratory. The appointments he has made in advisory and administrative posts reflect his determination to get highly qualified people.

Mr. Nixon knows that intellectuals are indispensable to the proper conduct of government business and he said in September he wanted "not only executives and administrators, but scholars and thinkers." He seems wisely to be using one criteria—brain power—above all others.

The first major policy position on the White House staff went to Harvard University's intelligent, articulate and industrious Dr. Henry A. Kissinger as assistant for national security affairs.

For a science adviser, Mr. Nixon chose the retiring president of California Institute of Technology, Dr. Lee A. DuBridge, a physicist who has served as a consultant to eight federal agencies.

As chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Mr. Nixon has appointed Dr. Paul W. McCracken, a University of Michigan economist who

was a member of the council under President Eisenhower.

Since congressional relations are expected to be a most difficult area, it is significant that Mr. Nixon's very first appointment was that of Bryce N. Harlow to deal with this specific problem. Harlow was a top congressional liaison man for President Eisenhower.

Nixon has named Alan Pifer, president of the Carnegie Corp. in New York, to head a special study group to outline the nation's educational priorities, and Roy L. Ash, president of Litton Industries, to work with him on matters of management and efficiency during the transition period for the administration.

A Nixon aide reports most of the work of selecting the cabinet completed and says announcements will begin to come fast early next week.

Mr. Nixon has said he wants "strong men as Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, who on their own as members of the team will be able to provide the leadership that this nation needs."

He has promised to pay more attention to the advice of his advisers than other recent presidents and for this reason, if no other, he should assemble about him the most competent team possible to assist in solving this nation's problems.

The pattern he has established thus far is reassuring.

Kissinger Joins Up

There must be something about the groves
of academia in Cambridge, Mass., that
attracts presidents of the U. S.

President Kennedy picked Harvard's
McGeorge Bundy to be his top adviser on
national defense, and President Johnson
selected Walt W. Rostow of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.

Now President-elect Nixon, in filling this
"major policy position," has appointed
Harvard Professor Henry A. Kissinger.

In picking Dr. Kissinger, a 45-year-old
German-born naturalized citizen who came to
America on the eve of World War II, then
served in the Army three years, Mr. Nixon
chooses a man who ranks at the head of the
class in the study of national security.

It was his 1957 book, "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy," that took the first cool look at the way A- and H-bombs and missiles had changed the strategic shape of the globe.

He criticized the horrendous formula of
"massive retaliation" and argued for a flexible
response to confrontations, depending on their
character.

And while upholding the American policy of
containment of Communist expansion in
Europe, Dr. Kissinger criticized Washington
for not giving our NATO allies more informa-
tion and control—and hence sense of involve-
ment—in the alliance.

A central plea in his writings and frequent
consultative trips to Washington is for greater
discrimination by top policymakers.

What they need, he says, is sophistication
enough to match American power and
responsibility, discernment about individual
countries and their leaders instead of
"undifferentiated globalism," and a keen eye
to where our real interests lie, instead of our
obsession for helping out anybody who says he
is being threatened by Communists.

In short, he urged an awareness of the
variety and subtlety of international affairs,
compatible with a sense of what-we-really-
want-to-accomplish.

So, Dr. Kissinger has a reputation as a
hard-headed, unsentimental man, which will
stand him in good stead in his new job. He will
not be the president, or the secretary of state,
but he will fill an important White House post.

Talking a good game of world affairs is not
the same as lending sound advice consistently,
under high pressure. But Dr. Kissinger looks
like a good choice.

Outnumbered

Richard Nixon shouldn't have too much
trouble dealing with an opposition Con-
gress. He's the only man in a three-woman
household and should be accustomed to
functioning as a minority leader.

## Nonwar Preparedness?

IF THE performance of Harvard Prof. Henry A. Kissinger matches his credentials, the next White House assistant for national security affairs will reflect President-elect Nixon's announced determination to prevent future global crises rather than react to them in the fashion that has marked American foreign policy for nearly two decades.

In his choice of Professor Kissinger, Mr. Nixon has filled the biggest foreign affairs post next to that of the secretary of state—and some in high diplomatic circles suggest that the Kissinger appointment could almost reduce the cabinet choice to an anticlimax.

Planned prevention reportedly is a hallmark of the Harvard professor's approach to defense and national security. An intimate adviser on world affairs to New York Gov. Rockefeller since the 1950s, his role as government consultant on national security and nuclear weaponry since early in the Kennedy administration has earned him a high reputation as a hard-minded braintruster.

His studies and writings have focused mainly on western Europe and its relationship with the Soviet Union, but he has made several trips to Vietnam and has served as a government consultant on political matters there. In both, he has expressed estimates that reflect those of a knowledgeable pragmatist, divest of sentimentality.

In noting the Soviet swings that first outrage, then mollify westerners, he advises that "we should not again confuse a change of tone with a change of heart . . . we should concentrate negotiations on the concrete issues that threaten peace."

This, plus his urging that full consultation with the nations of western Europe must precede any dickering with the Kremlin, should come as welcome at a moment when a strengthened NATO alliance is dependent upon the willingness of all members to do what is necessary to keep Russia at bay.

His attitude on Vietnam, according to close associates, is definitely not hawkish in the sense of urging any military re-escalation. His view appears to reflect more a willingness to leave to Saigon the political decisions to be reached in peace talks while the United States attends to military considerations in pursuing a basis of settlement with the Hanoi regime.

All of which invites a kind of hope that the new Administration will be as interested in the preventive machinery designed to halt drift and abort crises as it is in building a military establishment capable of coping with unforeseen eventualities.

# Kissinger, Top Man in His Field

(Appointment of Dr. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard University as chief White House policy adviser on national security affairs is an excellent choice by President-elect Richard M. Nixon.

Kissinger's knowledge of global matters has gained him recognition as one of the nation's top men in this field.

The Harvard professor of government has an uncanny ability to look at the larger picture and to look far into the future in projecting his ideas.

If Kissinger's ideas are accepted in the

Nixon Administration, we may expect to see a further de-Americanization of the war in Vietnam and policies that will strengthen the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to offset the Russian challenge in Europe and the Middle East.

Mr. Nixon took pains to point out that his still unnamed Secretary of State would be the chief foreign-policy adviser. But Kissinger will bring the President the points of view outside the government, a vitally needed perspective. The President-elect couldn't have chosen a man better qualified for this post.

Advice on National Security

"National security policy is not primarily a technical problem, but a challenge to political understanding and, ultimately, to philosophical insight." So wrote Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, the Harvard specialist on defense whom President-elect Nixon has named as his assistant for national security affairs.

Add to the view quoted above the job specifications that are to guide Dr. Kissinger in a most influential White House post and there is indication of the great pains Mr. Nixon is taking to assure for himself both depth and breadth in the advice he gets in the security area.

For Dr. Kissinger is not expected to consume his time reading telegrams dealing with details of what's going on over the globe from hour to hour. He is not to constitute himself a barrier between the President and the Secretary of State.

What he and the staff he is assembling are to do is to be concerned with something more than reacting to crises. He is to think and plan long-range, to assure that the President gets the wide spectrum of policy views that he desires; to bring before the President views that

the latter may not necessarily find pleasing to hear.

President-elect Nixon obviously regards foreign affairs as an area in which he has special expertise. He has said that he will have a "very strong Secretary of State." Given the appointment of Dr. Kissinger, an adviser to Governor Rockefeller, as Mr. Nixon's national security adviser with the special goal of restoring the National Security Council to full vigor, and the picture emerges of a perhaps more flexible and less doctrinaire approach than the new President's critics might have thought likely.

In his slow and careful construction of the policy-shaping mechanism, Mr. Nixon obviously is drawing on his own experience and study of how the White House operates. Policy choice, control over actions and long-range purpose appear to be the ingredients that he intends to assure to a much greater degree.

Even more important will be whether this leads to a "new burst of creativity, not so much for the sake of other countries as for our own people, especially the youth," which Dr. Kissinger has also said is needed.

## Names Assistant

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.

Dr. Kissinger Joins Team

President - elect Nixon has chosen as his chief advisor on foreign affairs a German - born Harvard professor who came to America as a boy, fought for the United States in World War II, and has an outstanding background in the field of national security.

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger has been a strong advocate of maintaining a flexible policy in foreign affairs, and against a fixed policy such as that of "massive retaliation" of the Dulles era. He has how-

ever been in agreement with the long-standing U.S. policy of containing Communist expansion in Europe, but with a provision that our allies should be given a larger role in the effort.

Of major importance is his belief the United States should act to direct foreign affairs events, rather than reacting to events initiated by others. His theories appear to be in line with those enunciated by Mr. Nixon during his campaign, and the team of Nixon and Kissinger could prove to be an effective one.

National Security Aide Named

Each President naturally has his own ideas about how to handle his constitutional duties in the field of foreign affairs, and President-elect Nixon has said that he plans to make some rather drastic changes in the way President Johnson has gone about doing the job.

He has said, among other things, that there will be emphasis on trying to foresee possible crises and finding ways to prevent them, instead of reacting to them as they arise.

His plans call for revitalizing the National Security Council in the White House. It will concentrate on long-range planning, with foreign policy operational responsibilities being shifted back to the State Department, which, the President-elect has said, will be presided over by a very strong man.

### MR NIXON'S SELECTION of Dr Henry A. Kissinger
Harvard University, foreign policy adviser to Gov Nelson A. Rockefeller, as his principal White House national security adviser was in line with these plans.

The 45-year-old, German-born professor will occupy the position held by Walt W. Rostow in the Johnson administration. Although this assignment will be his first full-time governmental job, he frequently has been called upon to serve as a consultant in the past.

He helped write a study for the President-elect which recommended that the National Security Council, which he will oversee, be made a strong instrument in the formulation of foreign policy. It has been somewhat downgraded since the Eisenhower administration.

The President-elect said that it will be Dr Kissinger's job to see that the new President gets a broad spectrum of views when faced with making major foreign and security policy decisions. He said that he wants to know what all the arguments are, including the conflicts and differences of opinion between and within departments of the federal government, rather than just a bland paper that represents a "consensus, the least common denominator of what the various departments are able to negotiate between themselves."

### BY SIMPLY MAKING the appointment, the President-elect demonstrated a desire to get this broad spectrum. Dr Kissinger is credited with having influenced positions taken by Rockefeller's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

He has made an extensive examination of the Vietnam problem, but his special field of interest has been European security problems and relations with the Soviet Union. He was a consultant to the National Security Council in 1961 and 1962. Since 1961 he has been a consultant to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and since 1965 he has been a consultant to the State Department.

At Harvard he is head of the international seminar and director of the defense studies program. He has lived in this country since 1938. He was naturalized in 1943 and received his doctoral degree from Harvard in 1954.

His is an excellent appointment by any standard.

The Greek military government Wednesday postponed the trial of **Composer Mikis Theodorakis**, who scored "Zorba the Greek" for films, and five others charged with "insulting authorities."

The three-man court ruled in favor of postponement when two of three prosecution witnesses failed to appear in court. They set no date for the next hearing.

Theodorakis, 43, achieved international fame for the exhuberant music he wrote for the movie version of "Zorba." He and the other five are accused of publishing a protest against the government in 1966, before the present military junta achieved power but aimed at alleged military misbehavior.

The protest said soldiers attacked Greek citizens on the isle of Lesbos and charged the military leadership of Greece with "promoting hate between soldiers and civilians."

The leader of a globe-circling transpolar flight intended as "an animated memorial" to the late explorer **Adm Richard E. Byrd** says his expedition "had it pretty soft compared to the admiral."

Cmdr Fred G. Dustin, 58, his wife and 60 businessmen returned to Boston Tuesday, 26 days after they left Boston on what Dustin said was the world's first commercial flight

# Kissinger Appointment Lauded

Richard M. Nixon's appointment of Prof. Henry A. Kissinger, of Harvard University, as the president-elect's assistant for national security, has drawn general high approval because of Kissinger's eminent qualifications.

Kissinger, who knows Washington well and is well respected there, will have the job of overseeing foreign and defense policy machinery of the administration.

Nixon's assignment gives Kissinger the mission of revamping the entire security planning machinery so that the nation will be able to act to prevent global crises, rather than trying to cope with them once they arise.

When asked by newsmen what his stance might be on various problems, Kissinger answered: "I have tried to avoid

labels like hard or soft." He is known for his insistence on keeping up with developments, and for changing his positions if he deems the change necessary because of new occurrences and findings.

Among Kissinger's stands on record are those in favor of strengthening NATO, shoring up Western Europe, strengthening of alignments with France and West Germany, and keeping American military power strong while talks continue with Russia on what is to be done by control of arms and the explosive situation in the Middle East.

Kissinger sees no conflict between his role and the work of the secretary of defense. With a man of his calibre providing information and counsel, the nation gains tremendously in its global relations.

Mr. Kissinger's job

The immediate attempt by some of the press to fix simple-minded ideological labels on Prof. Henry Kissinger of Harvard, President-elect Nixon's adviser on national security problems, is absurd. He is no litmus paper for doctrinal leanings in foreign policy. He is neither hard-liner nor soft but a history-conscious student of American strategic problems who is respected throughout the Western community.

As the heir to the McGeorge Bundy-Walt Rostow job he will bring no startling change, though he may bring better judgment and that would be a gain. His job, however, is largely as a high-level paper-shuffler; he will co-ordinate presidential relations with State and Defense and facilitate policy decisions in foreign affairs.

Professor Kissinger came to this country in 1938 as a refugee from Hitler's Germany, and he has probably seen enough of totalitarian government not to be naive about it. His main concerns, as a scholar of strategic matters, are not ideological. More than a decade ago he wrote a landmark book, *Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy*, then and since widely regarded as the most penetrating assessment of atomic-age diplomacy in print. Like some of the more enlightened generals (Maxwell Taylor and James Gavin, both of whom were brought back from exile by President Kennedy) he was worried by the stark either-or choices posed by all-out dependence on nuclear deterrents.

From these worries evolved the doctrine of "flexible response," which is now and will evidently remain the governing strategy of the U. S. Kissinger deplored the Eisenhower defense formulas that let

conventional forces wither, partly for economy's sake, while reliance on the "big bang" increased. He saw such a strategy as encouraging potential aggressors to make moves too slight for nuclear response but too dangerous to be ignored — the "salami tactics" we heard so much about a few years ago.

Mr. Kissinger is a flexible man, however, and his ideas change with his observations. For a time he thought so-called "tactical nuclear weapons" might be a credible modification of the all-out deterrence strategy, but gradually came to see that a nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon and no more diplomatically or politically acceptable for being called "tactical" rather than strategic. No doubt Mr. Kissinger's early thinking on strategic problems has been changed, or at least modified by Vietnam, where "flexible response" was tested and found wanting. The point is that he is not a hidebound or doctrinaire thinker — having far less of that in him than Walt W. Rostow, his immediate predecessor — but a flexible and history-minded man with impressive qualifications for the job. Certainly the naming of Mr. Kissinger augurs well for the quality of Mr. Nixon's appointive judgment.

Nixon Talks
With Expert

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 noncabinet 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 assistant to Nixon, had lunch here Sunday with Henry Ford II, board chairman of the Ford Motor Co. and chairman of the National 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 recruits 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 disadvantaged for similar employment. Congress appropriated $200 million for such subsidies to business in the fiscal year ending June 30.

Nixon Names
Harvard Prof.
As Overseer

New York — (AP) — President-elect Richard 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.

President-elect Nixon 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 — at 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 these cabinet jobs.

Shown by three young broth-
ers from Highmore, S.D., the
Aberdeen Angus junior yearling
named Black Jack brought the
boys $11,700 based on its sales
weight of 1,170 lbs.

The steer weighed 1,100 when
judged grand champion Mon-
day.

The prize steer was fattened
from a 100-pound calf by Greg-
ory Arendt, 14, and his brothers,
Aloysius, 16, and Peter, 12. The
brothers live on a 10,000-acre
cattle ranch near Highmore
which their father, Harold, man-
ages.

The steer was bought by Pea-
vey Producers Service, Minne-
apolis, a feed and grain prod-
ucts firm. A spokesman for the
company said the steer will be
exhibited throughout the Mi-
west.

The record price for a grand champion steer at the International is $30 a pound paid in 1957. That steer brought a total of $31,000.

The three brothers come from
a family of 13 children - eight
brothers and five sisters. They
live on a 10,000-acre cattle ranch
near Highmore.

The ranch, owned by Ankony
Farms of Rhinebeck, N., is
managed by their father, Har-
old.

Nine months ago, the
three youths purchased Black
Jack from stock on the ranch.

Gregory appeared stunned by
the victory. Holding tightly to

what had happened.

Then his face turned a bright
red and a broad grin replaced
the look of astonishment.

Asked how it felt to win a
grand championship, Gregory
responded: "Real good."

Gregory said he and hisbroth-
ers paid $125 for the calf when
it weighed a little more than a
100 pounds.

"And we put another $74 into feed," chimed in Peter.

Gregory said he and his broth-
ers plan to put money from to-
day's sale in the bank for a col-
lege fund.

The record price ever paid for
a grand champion steer was $30
a pound in 1957. Total price for
the steer, a Hereford, was $31,-
000.

Last year's grand champion
brought $17,500 for its owners,
Marlene Wiseman and Anita
Buffer of Gilman, Iowa. The
high bidder paid $15.50 a pound
for the Angus senior calf.

The Arendt brothers' steer
also was named champion of the
Aberdeen-Angus breed and
Black Jack teamed with two
other Angus brought to the ex-
position by the brothers to win
the group of three Angus
awards.

The father of the Arendt
brothers said the boys worked
hard in raising and caring for
the champion steer, but he
didn't think they acquired a sen-
timental attachment to Black
Jack.

"We've been in the cattle busi-
ness a long time," he said. "We
raise them to sell and we are
used to this aspect of it."

The Team Nixon
Is Assembling

THE COMPLETE LINEUP of the team which President-elect Nixon will take with him to Washington isn't off the press yet, but the three top appointments he has announced this week are first-rate and inspire hope that those to follow will be up to the same mark.

His nomination of Professor Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard as special assistant for national security affairs has drawn cheers even from anti-Nixonites like Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who pronounced it "very encouraging... the best they'll get." Various other Harvard and M.I.T. associates of Kissinger have sounded their equally high praise of the selection.

Kissinger's job is one of the most sensitive in government, in that he is at the President's side when he makes national security decisions. He himself has described it as "seeing to it that the President of the United States does not just hear what he wants to hear, which is always a temptation for White House staffers."

WHAT PARTICULARLY ATTRACTS approval for this appointment is Professor Kissinger's wide experience in foreign policy and nuclear questions and his strong position in favor of talking with the Russians to control the missile race. In that stand, he may have a modifying effect on the President-elect's own views, as expressed during the campaign when he came out for the idea of a "clear superiority" over the Soviets.

Advised in nuclear and other national security matters by Kissinger, in scientific research and development by President Lee DuBridge of Caltech, and on economic matters by Professor Paul W. McCracken of Michigan, a highly regarded member of the moderate school of economists, Mr. Nixon could not ask for better brains to pick in those important areas. And that seems to be his praise-worthy objective, for, as he has said, he will be "trying to pick the brains of the best people in the world."

# Kissinger Picked For Security Post

NEW YORK (UPI)—Richard M. Nixon today appointed Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, German-born Harvard University educator, as assistant to the president-elect for national security affairs.

The 47-year-old professor of government, a leading expert in weapons systems and defense policy, has been an adviser to the administrations of Pres-

Johnson. Most recently he has been a chief State Department consultant on foreign policy and national security.

## To Take Leave

Kissinger, who came to the United States with his family as a refugee from Nazism in 1938, later became a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Nixon said Kissinger would be charged with revitalizing and streamlining the National Security Council. Kissinger will take a leave of absence from Harvard's Center for International Affairs to assume the key position.

At the same time Nixon named Dr. Richard V. Allen, a senior staff member of the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University as Kissinger's principal associate on the National Security Council.

Allen, 32, served as Nixon's director of foreign policy research during the presidential campaign.

Nixon and Kissinger met with newsmen for an hour today, to discuss Kissinger's appointment.

Nixon characterized it as "the first appointment of a White House staffer in a major policy position."

## Develop New Ideas

He said Kissinger's principal job would be to reorganize the National Security Council and to develop new ideas and policies for the critical problems his administration will face.

Kissinger said he was "honored by the confidence the president-elect has in me" and said he would make sure that Nixon had available the thinking of the intellectual community, not only in the United States but throughout the world.

Nixon said one of Kissinger's most important jobs would be to make sure the President will not "just hear what he wants to hear."

Kissinger declined to comment on his own view on substantive foreign policy issues. He said he didn't want to characterize himself either as a hard-liner or a soft-liner.

## Met at Party

Nixon who has met several times with Kissinger in the past week said the two first met last Christmas at a party at the home of former Ambassador to Rome Clare Boothe Luce, although he had been an admirer of Kissinger's writing for some time.

Nixon said that among the most pressing foreign problems confronting him were ending the war in Vietnam and relieving tensions in the Middle East.

He said over the longer range the United States must negotiate, a broad spectrum of problems with the Soviet Union and must strengthen ties in the NATO alliance.

Nixon scheduled an afternoon meeting with former Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton who leaves later in the day on a six-nation, nine-day tour of the Middle East.

# Review of Security Weighed
## NIXON MAY PICK PANEL

By JAMES McCARTNEY

Chicago Daily News Service

WASHINGTON, D. C. — President-elect Richard Nixon is considering forming a new, top-level committee to make a sweeping re-evaluation of all aspects of national security.

The committee would be similar to the top-secret Gaither Committee of the Eisenhower years.

It would be composed of eminent Americans from all walks of life, but would be dominated by civilians.

Questions re - examined would range from what to do about missile and rocket defense systems to long-range prospects for arms control.

The controversial Gaither Committee was formed by former President Eisenhower in 1957 to make secret studies of the nation's defense posture. It prepared a starting report that for the most part remains secret to this day.

Enough of the report became public, however, to say that it portrayed the United States as in the gravest anger in its history, moving toward becoming a second-class power.

It recommended huge increases in defense outlays, including a massive shelter system to protect citizens in the event of atomic attack.

### Source of Controversy

The Gaither report — named for the committee chairman, H. Rowan Gaither, one - time head of the Ford Foundation — furnished raw material for much of the missile - gap controversy of the early 1960s.

Soon afterward, another study was made public, spon-

sored by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

It also advocated huge increases in defense spending. Among its authors was Prof. Henry Kissinger, President-elect Nixon's newly-appointed national security adviser.

Kissinger, of Harvard, is on record as favoring a Gaither - type re - evaluation at this time.

# Nixon to Meet With Harvard Braintruster

Robert Ellsworth, a top assistant to Nixon, had lunch here Sunday with Henry Ford II, board chairman of the Ford Mo-

The alliance has a goal of creating 500,000 jobs for the hardcore unemployed by early 1971. Businessmen train the recruits 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 disadvantaged for similar employment. Congress appropriated 1200 million for such subsidies to business in the fiscal year ending June 30.

During the campaign, Nixon often talked about substituting tax credits for subsidies in this type of situation but, after Sunday's luncheon, Ellsworth said Nixon is "hopeful and desirous" of continuing the alliance program "aggressively and progressively."

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

Ford was asked about the relative 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."

# Kissinger named security assistant

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.

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."

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.

# Nixon names Kissinger as security assistant

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 deal-

ing with them as they arise.

Kissinger said he foresaw no prospect that he would be in competition with the men who eventually get those cabinet jobs.

and continued with a spade, permitting West to score the fourth defensive trick with the six of diamonds.

So the American team registered a huge gain of 1,570 points, which seems rather harsh punishment for West's failure to lead a spade at the first table in a situation where the killing lead was far from automatic.

Both North-South pairs missed the only legitimate game contract. Three notrump (making four) was surely best on the combined hands, but it was obviously easier to reach in theory than in practice.

All of which proves that even in a world championship, where the standard of play is generally high, the proper contract is occasionally elusive. Besides, in review of the outcome, who would want to criticize Hamman and Krauss for bidding and making a vulnerable slam?

## Professor Kissinger Joins Up

There must be something about the groves of academia in Cambridge, Mass., that attracts presidents of the United States. President Kennedy picked Harvard's McGeorge Bundy to be his top adviser on national defense, and President Johnson selected Walt W. Rostow of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now President-elect Nixon, in filling this "major policy position," has appointed Harvard Professor Henry A. Kissinger.

criticized Washington for not giving our NATO allies more information and control—and hence sense of involvement—in the alliance.

A central plea in his writings and frequent consultative trips to Washington is for greater discrimination by top policymakers. What they need, he says, is sophistication enough to match American power and responsibility, discernment about individual countries and their leaders instead of "undifferentiated globalism," and a keen eye to where our real interests lie, instead of our obsession for helping out anybody who says he is being threatened by Communists. In short, an awareness of the variety and subtlety of international affairs, compatible with a sense of what-we-really-want-to-accomplish.

So, Dr. Kissinger has a reputation as a hard-headed, unsentimental man, which will stand him in good stead in his new job. He will not be the President, or the secretary of state, but he will fill an important White House post. Talking a good game of world affairs is not the same as lending sound advice consistently, under high pressure. But Dr. Kissinger looks like a good choice.

©New York Times

NEW YORK — President-elect 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 hard-liner.

IT IS TRUE that both he and Gov. Nelson 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 that 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 force on both sides and thereby lead in time to a limitation 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 of the Berlin crisis. At that time, Dean Acheson, former secretary of state, had argued for a bolder military strategy for bringing the crisis to a diplomatic settlement, if necessary by running a military convoy through Helmstadt, long 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.

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.

Nixon's Appointments

President-elect Richard Nixon has made a good start in his appointments to major posts in his administration, including Dr. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard as principal adviser on national security affairs and Dr. Lee A. Du- Bridge, longtime president of California Insti- tute of Technology who had planned to retire next year, as science adviser.

There will be some argument as to whether Mr. Nixon should change heads of the nego- tiating team in Paris, but little with Mr. Harri- man's surmise that the new President will want his own man. In that event the report he has asked Henry Cabot Lodge, now ambassa- dor to Bonn, to take the job, and that Mr. Lodge is willing, can be welcomed. The en- voy has been serving both Democratic and Republican administrations, always with abil- ity, since the Eisenhower era.

Dr. Kissinger has been a Rockefeller con- fidant who struggled nobly to construct a viable statement on Vietnam for the New York governor before the Republican conven- tion. He is soundly grounded both on the forces for change and the need for perse- verance where freedom is concerned. His ap- pointment also probably lessens chances that Gov. Rockefeller will serve in the Nixon cabi- net.

Dr. DuBridge, although 67, is a vigorous exponent of the need for maximum effort in the fields of basic and other research. Mr. Nixon is said to share in this commitment.

For both of these appointments the next President has gone to the intellectual com- munity. He says: "There is a tendency for people in the scientific community and people in the intellectual community to take a rather dim view of the political operator. I think that we would like to bridge that gap." And he has begun well.

Among other appointments is a stunning promotion for Chattanooga Rep. Bill Brock's administrative assistant, Bill Timmons, to the $28,000 job of deputy assistant to the Presi- dent for Congressional relations. Mr. Tim- mons has been one of the reasons for the Brock organization's political effectiveness. The promotion is well deserved.
