North Korea did propose such a local arrangement. In Pyongyang the North Ko reans (and their Chinese mas ters) had not accepted free elections for unification, any more than Russia had done so with regard to Germany.

RYAN Associated Press Foreign IS etc s Analyst EVIDENTLY the Soviet regime considers its increasing ly bold peace and cultural offensives a whopping success. In the short space of a few months in which the Soviet tone changed from pugnacious to peaceful there has been a notable slackening of tension, which is what Moscow wanted, for its own purposes, in the first place.

The regime probably can keep it up for a good while to come certainly well beyond the Octo ber meeting of the foreign min- isters. But it involves a calcu lated risk for the regime itself.

Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Com mission and chief delegate at Geneva for the United States, put this country firmly behind the drive to make it a regular affair.
