WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) The Ge neva conference at the summit for which. President Eisenhower will depart Friday night poses a tough question which might be com pared to the classic:" Which came first, the chicken or the ?' The Geneva question is whether Lyte C. WUmb political matters or disarma ment should be undertaKen first. Some realistically, minded diplo mats and some realistically minded newsmen, as well con sider the current arms race be tween the Communist and non- Communist nations to be only a svmntom of what ails the world, The organic maladjustment of world affairs is political or so it is argued. The arms race is a svmotom of the organic mal adjustment. Therefore: If the maladjustment is corrected, the symptom will disappear. Against this logical and per suasive argument that the - Ge neva conferees should bear down on political questions and let the arms race take care of it self, however, is a hard, illogi cal fact of life. The hard fact is that there is almost no area of political dis pute in which the diplomatic crystal gazers see more than a remote possibility of agreement, if that much. In the field of dis armament, however, there seems to be some chance of limited agreement to improve a situation which is a heavy burden to the United States and, perhaps, an impossible burden to the Soviet Union.. - .' Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told a House subcommit tee last month that the Soviet Union economy "is on the point of collapsing." There have been other if leas official sug gestions that Moscow's more or less new diplomatic look- is caused by an urgent necessity to turn some of the Communist world productive faculties away from armaments and toward the higher living standards of a peacetime economy. " If all of that is accurate, Mos cow is eager for at least a limited slowdown in arms spending. The taxpayers of the United States unquestionably welcome less ex pensive national defense and it would delight the Eisenhower ad ministration which is baffled and may finally be embarassed by 38pnq eq aauareq oi XTnqBuj So a cut in arms spending is something the two great powers really would welcome. On that basis, the administration has put disarmament at the top of its Geneva objectives, instead of making more fundamental poli tical adjustments the top objec tives. No arms limitation agree ment is expected from Geneva, however. More likely the powers might agree to a new start to ward that objective. They might direct the United Nations sub committee which long has wrang led over the problem to back ub and start over in a spirit of more determined intent and bet ter faith. Some actual limitation might even be agreed on within 12 or 18 months under such conditions but not quickly enough to reduce U.S. taxes soon nor immediately to improve the Russian living standard. Collapsing or not, the Com munist economy lags behind the West in the standard to which its productivity permits its peo ple to live. A respite would en able the Communists to improve their relative position. A settle ment on that basis, or an accom modation, as. the diplomats call it, could be a start toward big ter things. But adjustment of basic politi cal , questions seems far in .the future. The Soviet Union Geneva conferees are expected to pro pose abolition of the North At lantic treaty, abandonment of plans to re-arm Germany, neu tralization of Germany as a mili tary and political entity, creation of an. East-West buffer zone in Europe, abandonment of U. air. bases and withdrawal of U3. troops from Europe. Moscow, of course. .will plus: for disarma ment and relaxed trade restrict tions. ' The U.S. might finally give a little on air bases, troops and trade restrictions. But the rest of Moscow's program gets a curt "no." On the U.S. side it is planned to. stress arms limita tion, free elections in the satel lite states, unification of Ger many and to refuse to discuss at all questions relating to the cold war in Asia. Few of these political matters seem now to be headed .' toward satisfactory discussion or adjustment. ... Architect Offers Free Academy Drawings Washington (U.PJ Architect Frank Lloyd Wright has offered to work without fees in drawing new designs for the Air Force Academy and believes - other architects could do the same.
