# The First of the Myths

NEW YORK—There is a deceptive myth making the rounds these days that President-elect Richard Nixon chose William P. Rogers to run the state department because he wants to be his own secretary of state.

This theory, based on Rogers' limited experience in foreign affairs, involves Rogers, the close personal relations between the two men, and the nature of the state department job.

No doubt President Nixon will take an active part in the definition and negotiation of problems with other

nations. He believes in personal diplomacy, particularly with leaders of authoritarian governments. He talks a lot about meeting with the soviet leaders, not in one summit conference, but in a series of summits.

James Reston

## Institutionalized Presidency

All signs, however, point to an institutionalized Presidency under Nixon rather than to the strongly centralized Presidency of President Johnson. Nixon has clearly put his personal stamp on the cabinet, but he has picked and is organizing his administration so that it can operate under the collective leadership of the cabinet aided by a vigorous and articulate White House staff headed by Dr. Henry Kissinger of Harvard.

Nixon did not pick Dr. Kissinger to head his national security staff and Pat Moynihan to run his White House domestic affairs council because he was looking for personal aids, but because he wanted efficient cabinet committees operating in accordance with a pre-circulated agenda under the staff system.

Nixon is a cautious man. He is well aware of the fact that Mr. Johnson made several critical moves in the escalation of the Viet Nam war without careful analysis in the National Security council, and that President

Kennedy, who, like Mr. Johnson, was bored with tedious debates in the cabinet room, made the same mistake when he plunged into the Bay of Pigs.

The outlook, therefore, is not for a President trying to be his own secretary of state, but for the new secretary of state presenting his case on major issues before the NSC and after much more consultation with the state department experts than was the case under Mr. Johnson and Secretary Dean Rusk.

## LBJ Relied on Outsiders

William Rogers, like any other secretary of state, will have only one client—the President of the United States—but he is a forceful advocate, will define the considered judgments of his department in the cabinet with precision, and will do so with the kind of confidence that comes only thru long years of easy and friendly association.

President Johnson had a way of relying not alone on the institutions of the Presidency, and not alone on the advice and debate in the cabinet room, but on outside advisers, and from time to time on outside negotiators and private emissaries.

This is not likely to be President Nixon's way. He will be very much out front, but only after the most careful private and organized discussion.

Cabinet meetings are tiresome and time-consuming, but Presidents are much more likely to get considered judgments when key questions are defined in advance, discussed within the departments, and then presented to the President in the presence of other cabinet members. Questions posed suddenly by the President to a single cabinet officer take less time but often get a less reasoned response.

No President, not even Mr. Johnson, can do all the things he has to do and also be his own secretary of state. He may try, but it is not likely to work, and Nixon is not even likely to try.

Kissinger Choice on Beam

The conservatives have been biting their nails in fear that Richard Nixon might veer to the Left in making his appointments. The promise to take Democrats into the Cabinet scared them; so, too, did the speculation about softly liberal Republicans in key policy jobs. But the sky hasn't fallen in at the moment of writing. When a power in the Republican South, Harry Dent of South Carolina, is named a deputy counsel in the White House along with the effective 28-year-old John Sears, who jumped from a job in Nixon's law firm to master the picture of the whole U.S. political chessboard in phenomenally brief time, it is evidence that Nixon can move with surefooted certainty.

This was doubly underlined by Nixon's first major policy appointment, that of Professor Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard as White House assistant to the President for national security. After a round of telephone calls to people who keep a watchful eye on the works of university and foundation foreign policy experts, I failed to elicit even a single derogatory remark on Kissinger. Even those who can't stand Harvard, believing it the projected shadow of the Americans for Democratic Action President J. Kenneth Galbraith, were quick to say that Kissinger is "Harvard with a difference."

Kissinger is supposed to be a "Europe and Atlantic" man who, like Nixon, thinks a first order of business is to restore firmness to the NATO alliance. This, after all, is simply good realism: if western Europe went to the Soviets, the rest of the world would go, too. But Kissinger is no fool about Asia; indeed, he has had his experiences in Vietnam, where he took part in abortive "peace" explorations for Washington.

The important thing about Kissinger is, in the understatement of the "Third World War" pundit, James Burnham, that he takes the existence of the Soviet Union seriously. There is more to this wryly dry observation than meets the eye. For the fact of the matter is that White House advisers during the Johnson and Kennedy administrations tended to take the Russians all too lightly. They reacted only at the eleventh hour to the presence - for weeks the subject of Senator Kenneth Keating's warnings - of Soviet missiles in Cuba. They concluded, rather bluntly in view of Hungary and Czechoslo-

vakia at two ends of an era, that "convergence" between the Soviets and the West is inevitable; that "detente" is a simple matter of declaring its desirability; that "bridge-building" could be started before major differences in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are settled.

True enough, the White House adviser, Walt Rostow, once the chief prophet of the convergence thesis, ran into Ho Chi Minh and learned that a Marxist could still think as a Marxist. Lack of seriousness about Communism, however, has been latent in Washington throughout the 1960-68 period.

KISSINGER is a tough man to pin down, for he dislikes such easy labels as "hard" and "soft." But he would certainly agree to dividing people into the bluffed and the unbluffed. He is an authority on weapons systems, but he is also a first-rate student of diplomatic psychology: he knows that atomic "deterrence" can't be considered apart from the pictures about it, sometimes fallacious, that exist in the heads of statesmen. It may be true that anti-missile systems will not stop nuclear warheads from reaching their targets. However, if a nation has an anti-missile system and its politicians believe in it, this must be considered in judging the likelihood of that nation to dare aggressive moves.

For those who have a perhaps frivolous taste for thinking about the impact of key appointments on the domestic political scene, Nixon's choice of Kissinger has its titillating side. For Kissinger was Nelson Rockefeller's chief adviser on foreign affairs questions. In picking Kissinger, Nixon has achieved a minor miracle: he has done something that must be welcomed by the Rockefeller liberals, yet he has avoided offending the conservatives. Moreover, he has selected a man who will work in easy tandem with other foreign affairs advisers who have been in the Nixon entourage all along. Richard V. Allen of the Hoover Institute for War, Peace and Revolution, who handled Nixon's foreign policy research during the campaign, is one of Kissinger's chief boosters.

Not all of Nixon's appointments will please everybody. But the beginnings have been auspicious.

# Nixon Taps Rogers To Run State Dept.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Nixon has decided on William P. Rogers, former attorney general and a long-time close friend, to be his secretary of state.

The appointment is due to be announced by Nixon at 9 p.m. CST today along with his other Cabinet appointments.

Rogers, 55, served as attorney general for the last three years of the Eisenhower administration, returning to private life when President Dwight D. Eisenhower left office in January

1961. He is presently a senior member of the law firm of Royall, Koegel, Rogers and Wells in New York and Washington. He maintains homes at both places.

Rogers' experience in handling foreign affairs lies in whatever role he played in decision-making as a member of the Eisenhower Cabinet and an assignment from President Johnson as a member of the U.S. delegation to the 20th General Assembly of the United Nations in 1965.

His experience in government is extensive. He served in the district attorney's office, New York County, in 1938-42 and again in 1946-47. In 1949-50 he was counsel to the Senate war investigating subcommittee. He became deputy attorney general in 1953 and then attorney general at the end of 1957.

The selection of Rogers is Nixon's second major personnel decision in the field of foreign affairs. Several days ago he announced the appointment of

Prof. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard University, who has served as a government adviser and written extensively on nuclear age strategy, as his personal adviser on international security affairs.

Kissinger's reputation as a foreign policy strategist caused immediate speculation about a possible conflict between him and the secretary of state in the new administration. Nixon said, however, he was confident there would be no conflict.

In Teachers' Assignments

BY JACK TYLLIA
Of The News-Tribune Staff

The Duluth Board of Education Tuesday night approved a resolution calling for cutbacks in study hall and homeroom assignments for secondary school teachers to enable compliance with recent arbitration decisions.

The board also authorized its attorney to resume negotiations with the Duluth Teachers Council on additional pay for elementary teachers assigned extra-curricular duties. In a separate matter the board denied a request by Local 66 of the City and County Public Services Union that it be designated the bargaining agent for the school system's 83 food service employes.

Meeting in Denfeld High School, the board accepted Dr. John M. Runquist's resignation as chairman of the board's Negotiating Committee and appointed board member Charles W. Bailey to take his place.

The hottest item on the lengthy agenda was Runquist's Negotiating Committee report dealing with addendum findings by Larkin McLellan, St. Paul arbiter

that this addendum, and the cost of implementing it, now makes it imperative that such changes in assignments be made immediately."

Approval of the recommendation was unanimous.

The added compensation for elementary teachers' extra-curricular duties, which is still to be negotiated, is expected to bring to $29,500 the total cost of complying with the binding arbitration order handed down by McLellan on Nov. 1. This figure is in comparison to an estimate of $17,500 prior to the addendum rulings.

According to Runquist, the changes in study hall and home-room scheduling will not save sufficient money to balance the costs of complying with the new rulings. He said the board is still in the process of determining where additional corners can be cut.

Earlier, the Negotiating Committee had discussed the possibility of eliminating some extra-curricular activities, possibly including inter-school athletics, and cutting some elective courses from the curriculum.

# Nixon Stresses 'Organization' Government

By JAMES RESTON
New York Times Service
New York.

THERE IS a deceptive myth making the rounds these days that President-elect Nixon chose William P. Rogers to run the State Department because he wants to be his own secretary of state.

a misjudgment of Nixon,
Rogers, the close personal
relations between the two
men, and the nature of
the State Department job.

**NO DOUBT** President Nixon will take an active part in the definition and negotiation of problems with other nations. He believes in personal diplomacy, particularly with the leaders of authoritarian governments.

All signs, however, point
to an institutionalized pres-
idency under Nixon rather
than to the strongly cen-
tralized presidency in the
person of President John-
son.

Nixon has been remark-
ably adroit so far in avoid-
ing some of the larger stu-
pidities of his own cam-
paign propaganda. He has
clearly put his own person-
al stamp on the Cabinet,
and he dominated it when
he presented it to the na-
tion, but he has picked and
is organizing his adminis-
tration so that it can op-
erate under the collective
leadership of the Cabinet,
aided by a vigorous and ar-
ticulate White House staff
headed by Dr. Henry Kis-
singer of Harvard.

NIXON did not pick Kissinger to head his national security staff and Pat Moynihan to run his White House domestic affairs council because he was looking for personal aides, but because he wanted efficient Cabinet committees operating in accordance with a pre-circulated agenda under the staff system.

The president-elect spent three long meetings with Kissinger explaining how he proposed to organize the Cabinet Security Council team and even longer with Rogers on the same subject before appointing them.

Nixon is a cautious man.
He is well aware of the fact
that Lyndon Johnson made
several critical moves in
the escalation of the Viet-

nam war without careful
analysis in the National Se-
curity Council, and that
President Kennedy, who,
like Mr. Johnson, was
bored with tedious debates
in the Cabinet room, made
the same mistake when he
plunged into the Bay of
Pigs.

THE OUTLOOK, therefore, is not for a president trying to be his own secretary of state, but for the new secretary of state presenting his case on major issues before the National Security Council and after much more consultation with the State Department experts than was the case under President Johnson and Secretary Rusk.

Rogers, like any other
secretary of state, will have
only one client—the Presi-
dent of the United States
—but he is a forceful ad-
vocate, will define the con-
sidered judgments of his
department in the Cabinet
with precision, and will do

so with the kind of confi-
dence that comes only
through long years of easy
and friendly association
with Nixon.

INDEED, the Nixon-Rog-
ers association is likely to
be a much more equal re-
lationship than the John-
son-Rusk relationship,
close and trusting as that
was. There was always the
danger in personal conver-
sation with Mr. Johnson of
being overwhelmed by the
power of his personality
and policies.

Also, Mr. Johnson had a
way of relying, not alone
on the institutions of the
presidency, and not alone
on the advice and debate
in the Cabinet room, but on
outside advisers, and from
time to time on outside ne-
gotiators and private emis-
saries.

THIS IS NOT likely to
be President Nixon's way.
He will be very much out
front, but only after the
most careful private and
organized discussion. The
days of one-man domi-
nance are not coming but
going.

No president, not even
Lyndon Johnson, can do
all the things he has to
do and also be his own sec-
retary of state. He may
try, but it is not likely to
work, and Nixon is not
even likely to try.

# Kissinger told: overhaul diplomacy

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

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

The president-elect personally announced his choice of the 45-year-old teacher, author and government consultant to what

he said will be a major policy position in the new administration.

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

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

Neither Nixon nor his new aide would discuss security policy matters, stressing machinery instead. Nixon said it would not be appropriate for him to talk about substantive policy matters publicly until after the in-

auguration; Kissinger said that as a White House assistant it would not be appropriate for him to talk about them at all.

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

"I have tried to avoid labels like hard and soft. I find it very difficult to characterize myself."

Nixon said the National Security Council is going to be "revitalized and streamlined, and I will meet with it frequently and regularly."

He said Kissinger will be in charge of that effort. Nixon said

the council will put major emphasis on contingency planning, to prepare for problems before they become crises.

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

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

football.

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

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

## Interpretive Report

# Crisis Room Is Likely to Remain

By RICHARD WILSON

WASHINGTON — Every administration since World War II has come into office vowing its intention to grasp the initiative in foreign affairs in pursuance of long-range plans.

Every administration, including Truman's, thereupon devoted itself chiefly to reacting to crises as they arose, while the long-range plans

conducted in-house exercises in theoretical foreign policy.

The Nixon administration is no different in this respect from its predecessors. Nixon's appointment of Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard University as his national security adviser is hailed as the beginning of deep thought and planning in foreign policy. But Dr Kissinger is not likely to dismantle the crisis room of his predecessor, Walt Whitman Rostow, in the White House basement. This information center goes into action in every world crisis to collect the information and intelligence a President needs to guide him in major decisions.

THE CRISIS ROOM has been rather overlooked during the Johnson administration, owing both to a succession of world crises and President Johnson's insatiable demand for instant information at all

hours of the day and night. The place is getting a little seedy with overuse, and Kissinger may not like the looks of it, but he nevertheless will have to spend a good deal of his time there rather than in the higher realms of theoretical postulation.

Dean Rusk thinks the foreign policy of the Nixon administration will be locked in on the same course as the Kennedy-Johnson and Eisenhower administrations, and there is every reason to think the secretary of State is right.

If we get involved in no more Vietnams, our non-involvement will not be the result of long-range planning but of the circumstances and conditions of some new crisis not lending themselves to American armed intervention. In any case reaction to a new crisis is not likely to be based on pre-packaged theoretical concepts but on crisis conditions. A reaction quite contrary to all previous concepts can easily be the case, depending on the atmosphere prevailing at the time.

If the planners could be blessed with faultless insight on the intentions of Kosygin, Mao, Nasser, and their like, tidy plans could be worked out. But contingencies rarely arise in the expected form or at their expected time, and so the planners and theoreticians are called out of their beds to help make instant decisions reacting to unexpected conditions.

DEAN RUSK'S point seems to be that, so long as we remain the world's leading power, we shall have to respond to these thrusts as conditions require or withdraw into some kind of isolationism. It appears to be Rusk's intuition that the public may not support much longer a strong position of United States leadership.

Nixon, however, is showing no signs of isolationism; nor is there any sign of it in his selection of Kissinger as his adviser. This much seems to confirm Rusk's judgment that the foreign policy of the Nixon administration will be locked on the same course as its immediate predecessors.

## New York City

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 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."

Richard M. Nixon as Cabinetmaker

The first real clue as to the quality and direction of the next administration will come with the announcement by President-elect Richard M. Nixon of his cabinet appointments.

The appointments are scheduled to be announced, beginning next week.

There has been speculation that Mr. Nixon, lacking a decisive mandate from the electorate, would seek to form a coalition cabinet, including members of the opposition Democratic Party. His offer of the United Nations ambassadorship to his vanquished opponent for the presidency, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, seemed to lend credence to this view.

There has been just as much speculation to the contrary, however, and despite the number of names that have been bandied about, no one outside Mr. Nixon's inner circle of advisers really knows what his plans are.

Mr. Nixon, typically, has been moving slowly, cautiously and discreetly in choosing those who will serve with him.

He has already completed the organization of his White House staff, which includes some young, seemingly competent "generalists" with pretty loosely defined duties.

By far Mr. Nixon's most significant appointment to date was that of Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, director of the Defense Studies Program at

Harvard University, as his assistant for national security affairs.

In this capacity, Dr. Kissinger will fill the shoes occupied by McGeorge Bundy and Walt W. Rostow under the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.

Dr. Kissinger's appointment, in our opinion, is a good one. He is an extremely able man who believes the United States must replace what he calls a "spasmodic" policy with a grand design, one which clearly focuses on vital American interests abroad.

It is such a design that President Kennedy had set his sights on achieving.

If Mr. Nixon's major cabinet appointments measure up to the level of Dr. Kissinger, he will have done himself and this country a great service and taken a significant first step toward putting together an effective administration.

Of particular interest, will be Mr. Nixon's appointments as secretary of state, secretary of the treasury, attorney general, secretary of housing and urban development and secretary of health, education and welfare.

These men will be carefully scrutinized not only for their abilities, but for their political and philosophical views, for it is they who will provide a major clue as to the direction in which Mr. Nixon will attempt to steer this country during the next four years.

Foreign Policy: World Crises Test Reactions

WASHINGTON — Every administra-
tion since Harry S. Truman relinquished
the presidency has come into office vow-
ing its intention to grasp the initiative in
foreign affairs in pursuance of well
thought out long-range plans.

Every administration, including Truman's,
thereupon devoted itself chiefly to reacting to
crisis as they arose while the long-range
planners conducted in-house exercises in theo-
retical foreign policy.

The Nixon administration is no different in
this respect than its predecessors. Nixon's ap-
pointment of Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard
University as his national security adviser is
hailed as the beginning of deep thought and
planning in foreign policy. But Mr. Kissinger
is not likely to dismantle the crisis room of
his predecessor, Walt Whitman Rostow, in the
White House basement. This is an information
center which goes into action in every world
crisis to collect the information and intelli-
gence a president needs to guide him in major
decisions.

THIS CRISIS ROOM has been rather over-
worked during the Johnson administration ow-

ing both to a succession of world crises and
President Johnson's insatiable demand for in-
stant information at all hours of the day and
night. The place is getting a little seedy with
overuse, and Dr. Kissinger may not like the
looks of it, but he nevertheless will have to
spend a good deal of his time there rather
than in the higher realms of theoretical postu-
lation.

Dean Rusk thinks the foreign policy of the
Nixon administration will be locked in on the
same course as the Kennedy-Johnson and
Eisenhower administrations and there is every
reason to think the secretary of state is right.

If we get involved in no more Vietnams it
will not be due to long-range planning but be-
cause the circumstances and conditions of
some new crisis do not lend themselves to

American armed intervention. In any case
reaction to a new crisis is not likely to be
based on pre-packed theoretical concepts but
on crisis conditions. A reaction quite contrary
to all previous concepts can easily be the case,
depending on the atmosphere prevailing at the
time.

IF THE PLANNERS could be blessed with
faultless insight on the intentions of Kosygin,
Mao, Nasser, and their like, tidy plans could be
worked out. But contingencies rarely arise in
the expected form or at their expected time
and so the planners and theoreticians are called
out of their beds to help make instant decisions
reacting to unexpected conditions.

Then the Central Intelligence Agency gets
much blame for not having foreseen precisely
what those conditions would be and the whole
city of Washington goes into a frantic flap.

In all fairness, this is not because the CIA
or the State Department or the White House
have failed to anticipate any number of possi-
ble contingencies. The public is usually
shocked because it has been lulled into thinking
that our adversaries will change their ways if
we treat them well. Then when our adver-
saries revert to their old ways it comes as a

shock and the CIA, State Department, Defense
Department and White House are all blamed
for their misguided complacency or bumbling
judgments.

USUALLY, HOWEVER, the public has been
listening to those on the outside of succeeding
administrations who have been drumming out
the message that the world has changed and
we no longer face the challenge of expanding
communism. Or, if we do we must meet it in
a different way. Then the old realities return—
a threat here, a thrust there raising immediate
problems on what our reaction shall be.

Dean Rusk's point seems to be that so long
as we remain the world's leading power we
shall have to respond to these thrusts as con-
ditions require, or withdraw into some kind of
isolationism. It appears to be Rusk's intuition
that the public may not support much longer
a strong position of U.S. leadership.

Nixon, however, is showing no signs of this,
nor is there any sign of it in his selection of
Kissinger as his adviser. This much seems to
confirm Rusk's judgment that the foreign
policy of the Nixon administration will be
locked on the same course as its immediate
predecessors.

# Nixon Tabs Kissinger As Aide On Defense Policies

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 and defense policy machinery of the White House.

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

President-elect said he was concerned that, after inauguration day, he gets a broad spectrum of news on foreign policy problems and is "not presented with a paper that represents a consensus—the least common denominator."

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

Asked if Kissinger might overshadow the man Nixon eventually appoints as secretary of state, the incoming chief executive said, "I intend to have a very strong secretary of state." But he insisted 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.

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.

# Nixon, Rogers, Kissinger
To Rule Foreign Policy

By DAVID LAWRENCE

WASHINGTON—In the next administration, three men will make foreign policy for the United States—President Richard Nixon, Secretary of State William P. Rogers, and Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, professor of Government at Harvard who will be the presidential assistant on national-security affairs.

Advice will be sought from Congress and elsewhere, but decisions will be made by the President primarily on the basis of the recommendations of his two assistants.

An essay on the "Central Issues of World Affairs" has been written recently by Dr. Kissinger and published by the Brookings Institution of Washington, and independent

research organization supported by private foundations.

## Present Problems

The article is 30,000 words long, and while it doesn't specify concretely how the world's troubles can be solved, it does state the facts about foreign policy problems.

Dr. Kissinger points out that statesmen currently face "the unprecedented problem of formulating policy for well over 100 countries" and that what used to be considered domestic

events can nowadays have worldwide consequences.

As Communist philosophies have spread among various nations the world has become "militarily bipolar," Dr. Kissinger says, and he explains it this way:

"Only two powers—the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics—possess the full panoply of military might. Over the next decade, no other country or

which President Eisenhower spoke before he left the White House.

On the other hand, Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., says defense spending must now increase. Long the Chairman of

leadership and policy in Washington, will pass us in deliverable nuclear capability."

## Recent Estimates

Here, from recent intelligence estimates, is a year-end comparison of nuclear strength:

<table><thead><tr><th>USSR</th><th>UNITED STATES</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1,050 CBMs</td><td>1,054</td></tr><tr><td>250 Submarine Missiles</td><td>656</td></tr><tr><td>160 Strategic Bombers</td><td>680</td></tr><tr><td>3,500 Short-range missiles</td><td>7,000</td></tr></tbody></table>

It is clear that the Russians, who were credited with only 720 ready ICBMs in the fall of 1967, have speeded their production of intercontinental missiles. To offset this development the Pentagon is moving to perfect the multiple warhead system, MIRV, which will increase its firing range.

Eisenhower years, sees the shifting power balance as a handicap for efforts of his new administration aimed at defusing world trouble spots by negotiation.

Pentagon authorities dispute Nixon's campaign charge that "we have a gravely serious security gap." They too are concerned, however, about the Russians' increasing strategic potential.

As long ago as last April, Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he was apprehensive about the trend of U.S. strategic capacity as against Russia's. Wheeler commented, however, that the trend is not irreversible.

Wheeler called the present military alignment a good force "and not one that causes me to fear for the future of the United States." He added, in the next breath, that the force can—and should—be better, with the addition of new weapons systems.

group of countries will be
capable of challenging their
physical preeminence. Indeed,
the gap in military strength
between the two giant nuclear
countries and the rest of the
world is likely to increase rather
than diminish over that period."

"A Bipolar World"

But Dr. Kissinger makes it
clear that a "bipolar world" is
not necessarily a contented one,
and that the smaller countries
"are torn between a desire for
protection and a wish to escape
big power dominance." He says:

"Weaker allies have good reason to believe that their

defense is in the overwhelming
interest of their senior partner.
Hence, they see no need to
purchase its support by
acquiescence in its policies. The
new nations feel protected by
the rivalry of the superpowers,
and their nationalism leads to
ever bolder assertions or
self-will . . . .

"The greatest need of the contemporary international system is an agreed concept of order...

"Regional groupings supported by the United States will have to take over major responsibility for their immediate areas, with the United States being concerned more with the over-all framework of order than with the management of every regional enterprise."

This latter idea was also
recently espoused by former
Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson
of Canada.

U.S. Must Contribute

Dr. Kissinger insists that "a
new international order is
inconceivable without a
significant American
contribution." He doesn't
suggest, however, what kind of
organization can be developed
which will not be plagued by
Communist subversion of the
governments of small countries

so as to influence their votes in
the General Assembly of the
United Nations.

He feels that some of the
weaker countries have not been
able to add much strength to the
multipower alliances. He doesn't
think that the Southeast Asia
treaty organization or the
Central Treaty Organization or
even the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization has been effective.

Cites Europe Attitude

He calls attention to the fact
that Europe has evaded "our
entreaties to play a global role,"
and that Europeans do not
consider their interests at stake
when America becomes involved
on other continents.

The impression that Dr.
Kissinger's paper leaves is that
Europeans must be persuaded to
assume much greater
responsibility, not merely
through military arrangements
but in what he calls "a degree of
political co-operation which
links the fate of each partner
with the survival of all the
others."

Dr. Kissinger is by no means
an isolationist. He reveals rather
a sincere desire to see a better
system of alliances in the world
which, he implies, can do more
to preserve peace...

# Bipartisan Proposal on Vietnam

By Matthew V. Storin

The Telegram and Gazette Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The critics of Richard M. Nixon may be interested to discover that the new President's chief foreign policy adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, has essentially the same position on the Paris negotiations that was enunciated by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in his televised speech from Worcester on Aug. 21.

(The critics of Kennedy may be similarly interested in the fact.)

Both advocate a distinction in the talks between military and political matters with the Saigon government being left pretty much alone to handle the letter.

Storin

Both men warned against trying to impose a coalition government in the South.

Kennedy said the U.S. should "negotiate with Hanoi the mutual withdrawal from South Vietnam of all foreign forces, both allied and North Vietnamese" and

"accompany this withdrawal with whatever help we can give the South Vietnamese in the building of a viable political, economic and legal structure that will not promptly collapse upon our departure."

He added, "Under this plan, neither Hanoi nor Washington will try in

Paris to either require, or rule out, a coalition government."

Writing in "Foreign Affairs Quarterly" shortly before his appointment by Nixon, Kissinger said of the negotiations:

"American objectives should therefore be (1) to bring about a staged withdrawal of external forces, North Vietnamese and American, (2) thereby to create a maximum incentive for the contending forces in South Vietnam to work out a political agreement."

He went on to emphasize, as Kennedy did, that "the structure and content of such an agreement must be left to the South Vietnamese."

## Not a New Idea

There is neither cooperation nor coincidence in the similarity of the Kennedy - Kissinger position.

The concept of categorized negotiations has reportedly been thrown about in the academic world for many months.

When Kennedy decided last summer that he must make a pre-Democratic convention speech on Vietnam — because the war was the reason Robert F. Kennedy was campaigning for president when he was killed — the senator consulted a number of trusted academic advisers.

Kissinger was not one, because the Harvard professor was at the time closely identified with Republican presidential contender Nelson Rockefeller.

Kennedy heard many proposals in more than a month of work on the speech, but his trip to South Vietnam early in the year had convinced him that the U.S. must remain as much as possible out of the complexities of Vietnamese politics.

## Public Advocacy

So Kennedy refined the theory to his own liking, as surely Kissinger did, and gave it its widest public advocacy.

Their statements are a warning to the United States about an issue that could handcuff negotiators for years. Also, they were an attempted incentive to draw the present Saigon government more willingly into the talks.

Realistically, it is probably impossible to truly separate the military activity from a political solution in Vietnam, but the Kennedy and Kissinger positions are obviously calculated ploys to speed along the negotiations.

There is no clear sign yet that President-elect Nixon will accept this argument. But the closeness of the Kennedy and Kissinger statements does indicate how a powerful idea can transcend party politics.

# Nixon Aide Predicted Czech Crisis

New York Times Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. —
Last July 18, Richard Nixon
received a staff memo warn-
ing that the

Soviet Union
was on a colli-
sion course
with Czecho-
slovakia and
would have to
invade to
crush the wave
of liberalism
in Prague.

Allen

Many experts
then doubted this would hap-
pen, but the Soviet invasion
came 34 days later.

The author of the accurate
memo to Nixon was Richard
V. Allen, a husky, bespec-
tacled six-footer who directed
foreign policy research for
the Nixon campaign and was
named last Monday to the
president-elect's White House
staff.

Allen, 32, a self-proclaimed
"Nixon man for the past 16
years — since '1952," will
work on the 20-man foreign
policy staff under Henry A.
Kissinger, the Harvard Uni-
versity professor who will be
Nixon's main foreign-policy
adviser.

NOT ALL of Allen's cam-
paign ventures were as for-
tunate as his memo on
Czechoslovakia. One incident
last July was pounced on by
the press as a public rela-
tions gaff.

It concerned an American
airliner en route to Vietnam,
forced down by Soviet jet
fighters over the Kurile
Islands north of Japan. The
State Department's immedi-
ate explanation was that the
airliner had strayed off
course.

But Allen, who has a repu-
tation as a "hard-liner" to-
ward the Soviets, quickly
drafted a statement for Nix-
on branding the Soviet ac-
tion a "flying Pueblo" inci-
dent and warning of drastic
consequences.

THE STATEMENT was
hurriedly issued by Nixon—

to his embarrassment when
the Russians released the
plane within 48 hours. For
some time afterward Allen
was kiddingly nicknamed by
other Nixon staffers as "my
flying Pueblo." With affable
good humor, he has since
acknowledged privately that
he learned a lot from the
episode.

Allen, who came to the
Nixon campaign staff last
June from the Hoover Insti-
tution of War, Peace and
Revolution at Stanford Uni-
versity, is known as an ef-
fective organizer and re-
searcher. During the cam-
paign he kept files on 170
foreign policy subjects for
Nixon, tapped about 50 schol-
ars for research papers, and
drafted portions of Nixon's
radio speeches and foreign
policy pronouncements.

HE IS known as a hard
worker, bright, articulate,
open in manner, and plain-
spoken. "He's a shoot-from-
the-shoulder, tough-language
type," said one young Re-
publican colleague. "Exceed-
ingly bright with an ency-
clopedic memory." He enjoys
debate, welcomes dissent, and
often seeks out liberal ad-
versaries.

He writes easily and clear-
ly, if not with the customary
style and flourish of presi-
dential speech writers.

One acquaintance re-
marked that Allen was "quick
on his feet, with a good in-
stinct for getting himself to
the right places at the right
time."

IN 1963, when most poli-
ticians and pundits had writ-
ten off Nixon's political ca-
reer, Allen decided that the
odds favored a comeback for
the former vice-president.
Having met Nixon in the
1950's while a student at
Notre Dame, and sharing
many of Nixon's views, he
began corresponding with
Nixon in 1963 on foreign
policy matters.

As a political scientist

Allen specialized in East-
West relations, Soviet doc-
trine, international Commu-
nist affairs, and defense
strategy and weapons sys-
tems. He is known as a con-
servative or relatively hard-
line analyst of Soviet af-
fairs.

His writing shows him to
be skeptical about the real
value of East-West detente.
Wary of the Soviet version of
peaceful coexistence, and in-
sistent that the United
States should bargain with
Moscow from a position of
clear military superiority.

He is not, as he has ex-
plained to friends, "a visceral
anti-Communist who believes
in a monolithic Communist

conspiracy or that the Sino-
Soviet dispute is a hoax."

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.

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 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 sublety of international affairs, compatible with a sense of what-we-really-want-toaccomplish.

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.

# Nixon Appoints Assistant To Plan Security Affairs

New York, N. Y. -AP- President-Elect Richard M. Nixon Monday appointed foreign policy scholar Henry A. Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs, with instructions to overhaul the diplomacy and defense operations of the White House.

Kissinger, a Harvard university professor, shunned the suggestion that his was a hard line view of world problems. He said he would stress long-

Neither Nixon nor his new aide would discuss security policy matters, stressing machinery instead. Nixon said it would not be appropriate for him to talk about substantive policy matters publicly until after the inauguration.

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

Nixon said the national security council is going to be "revitalized and streamlined, and I will meet with it frequently and regularly."

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

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

Nixon also announced that Richard V. Allen of the Hoover Institution of War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford university would be a principal associate of Kissinger on the council staff. Allen was Nixon's campaign director of foreign policy research.

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

The Nixon Cabinet

PRESIDENT-ELECT Richard Nixon did not rush headlong through the process of choosing his Cabinet. He moved with careful deliberation and consideration, taking more time than many of his predecessors to make his selection.

Now he has announced the names of his Cabinet, and it is evident that his careful evaluations and search for the best have been fully justified. He has gathered at this lofty level of government a team of highly able, knowledgeable and experienced men.

They are all individuals of unquestioned integrity who will be moving out of fields of endeavor in which they have been eminently successful. And though most of them have had little or no experience in the particular fields of government to which they have been called, they will for that very reason bring a valuable new freshness and new strength to the formidable tasks which they are undertaking.

Members of the new Nixon Cabinet have been characterized as moderates who are tough-minded, competent administrators

They are not, then, dedicated to particular philosophies which would dominate their thinking to the detriment of the practical, logical solutions that have become so vital in these trying times. On the contrary, they are —and fortunately so for the nation— men who will attack the many critical problems of the nation with the intent of solving them in the most practical manner and in the best interest of this country as a whole.

The wisdom of President-elect Nixon's choices has been emphasized by the unstinting approval of the Cabi-

net members by both Democrats and Republicans. Typical of this approval is that for William P. Rogers, who will be the secretary of state.

One of the nation's outstanding attorneys, he is a man of proved ability also in government, having served ably under President Eisenhower as attorney general and in other governmental capacities. He is known as an excellent negotiator. This quality will be all-important as he deals with the world's volcanic turmoils in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, in Latin America and in Europe, where the resurgence of Soviet aggression poses a special new threat.

Another typical example of the general approbation of the Cabinet members is that accorded Rep. Melvin R. Laird as secretary of defense. Laird, the ranking GOP member of the Military Appropriations Committee, is highly knowledgeable in military affairs. No mere politician, he is a sound, practical thinker, who believes that the safety of this nation lies in complete military preparedness.

We single out these two men as typical, though the rest of the selections are of comparable capability.

At the near-Cabinet level, the President-elect has shown the same determination to assemble a team of equally high caliber, with the appointment of such men as Henry A. Kissenger, the Harvard foreign affairs expert, as special assistant to the president for national security, and Paul W. McCracken, chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers.

With the known capability, strength and integrity of these men, led by the new president, we feel the nation can look forward with confidence to the administration of Richard Nixon.

Kissinger Sees
Paris Talks
Just Prelude

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18—(AP) — Henry A. Kissinger, President-elect Nixon's special assistant for national security affairs and a Harvard scholar, writes in the quarterly Foreign Affairs published this week, that the United States should focus its participation in the Paris peace talks on the mutual withdrawal of foreign military forces from South Vietnam.

The talks themselves, he added, should serve as a prelude to informal and perhaps even secret discussions between North Vietnam and the United States and between South Vietnam and the National Liberation Front, or Vietcong.

Any discussion of the internal political structure of South Vietnam, he said, should be left to the Saigon government and the NLF.

KISSINGER, in the article written before becoming a Nixon aide, also said there should be a third forum, an international conference to work out guarantees of any agreements reached in the other talks.

But the Harvard scholar also contended an honorable peace is essential to world peace and added: "If Hanoi proves intransigent and the war goes on, we should seek to achieve as many of our objectives as possible unilaterally."

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.

# Campus Goes To Washington

Dr. Henry Kissinger, whom President-elect Nixon has appointed to advise him on national security affairs, was never quite in concert with the room where his famous seminars at Harvard were held.

The Pound Room on the second floor of the main law school building, Langdell Hall, is lined with rather stuffy oil paintings of British jurists in their powdered wigs. Kissinger's thick, muscular frame and heavy German accent never achieved perfect concert with this decor.

It didn't matter. The graduate students and others came to his off-the-record seminars on national security policy because of the quality of his mind and the distinction of the visiting speakers.

His guests ranged from the defense minister of the British Shadow Cabinet, to Soviet intelligence analysts in the State Department, to Southeast Asia experts from the Kennedy sub-cabinet, to Herman Kahn, head of the Hudson Institute think-tank.

Kissinged led his seminar each time in an experience which must have been unsettling for his guests. He grilled each speaker, challenging the basic assumptions of their address, making the projections they made from those assumptions quiver like branches in the process of being sawed from the main trunk.

He did so not from any pre-cooked formula or any past prejudice which had formed in his head as leaden and immutable doctrine. His mind was an antiseptically clean tool for the testing of ideas, and their consequences.

Almost a year ago exactly, he

said to his seminar that government process could function only if the departments disagreed, the response to issues reflected real choices rather than prejudices and there was a strong president watching.

This is as simple and clear a statement as can be made of the necessity for presenting the president with all the genuine options available from which to make a decision.

That he came from the campus is not remarkable to even the most casual observers of government, despite the incessant chatter from certain quarters during the campaign about college pinkos, egg-heads and pseudo-intellectuals.

It is a perfectly laudable resource from which to attract policy advisers such as Nixon's choice of Paul W. McCracken, economics professor from the University of Michigan, to head the Council of Economic Advisers.

Such minds come to government relatively free of the bureaucratic malaise — a career made from defending a particular policy which has assumed the eminence of holy writ in that civil servant's mind.

Nixon's decision to go to the campus, as did those before him, to populate his administration is highly commendable. None is more qualified than his recruit from Harvard, the old haunt of the Kennedys.

Kissinger, assistant for
national security affairs

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.

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."
