# Nixon Appoints Kissinger New Assistant for National Security

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

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

President-elect said he was concerned that, after inauguration day, he gets a broad spectrum of news on foreign policy

problems and is "not presented with a paper that represents a consensus—the least common denominator."

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

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

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 name 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."

The violence broke out on the eve of the convention Aug. 25 as police invoked a curfew to clear demonstrators from a park. One of the first victims was a University of California criminologist struck in the back with a shotgun as he tried to aid a boy who had fallen under police blows.

The report noted the criminologist had come to Chicago "to study convention security procedures."

Protesters outflanked National Guardmen and burst out of the park at dusk to besiege the main hotel. The taunts to police escalated in obscenity. At 7:57 p.m. the police started the arrests and, in the words of one patrolman, "Everything went up for grabs."

One witness among the demonstrators charges that the police chanted, "Kill, kill, kill." The report said, "There is no question that a violent street battle ensued. People ran for cover and were struck by police
