Those who expect great things from the "summit" conference at Geneva, are bound to be disappointed. In fact those who expect anything of importance signed and sealed, will probably be disappointed. ' There will be considerable conversation and un doubtedly general agreement the two countries are in favor of peace, an end to the armament race, and along with the late President Coolidge against sin. But when it comes to tangible, concrete results, in the area of formal agreements, it is doubtful that much if anything will be, or under the circumstances CAN be, accomplished. ' THIS does not mean the conference will necessarily be a failure. In fact the mere gathering together of the leaders of the 4 great powers, insures a cer tain success. A year ago even this much cooperation would have been impossible. The assembling in such a short period of preparation, and without noticeable hesitation on the part of any participant is a decided step in advance, internationally. THE significance of this unanimity in our judgment lies in the fact that no one and this includes Russia wants war. The fear of war on one hand and the financial burden involved in preparation for it on the other have priced war out of the market. If the burden can be relieved every nation wants it. However so long as the United States fears and distrusts Soviet Russia and with reason and Soviet Russia fears and distrusts the United States, it is too much to expect that the leaders of either country will agree to any disarmament program of any practical importance.-and if they financially, would not be worth the paper it was writ ten on. So any treaties of vital cards, or any formal epoch HAT is in the cards talk-f est at a hieh level which will or should clarify the atmosphere, reduce rather than increase existinz tensions, and make it more evident to the four great powers and eventually to their peoples that while the cold war promises ta continue the danger of any hot war, any war on a worldwide scale of any sort in fact is steadily declining, for the very simple and undeniable reason that no country and again soviet, Kussia nas 10 The imDortant thinir is United States become more is a fact and we believe it In so far as this Geneva conference contributes toward this mutual realization, it can't help but be a success. R.W.R. How About Secy Dulles? It is reassuring to this States will be represented at Geneva rather than Secretary of btate uuiies. Our Secretary of State has been extremely tactless in his statements, particularly those concerning Russia of late, and on at least three occasions nas expressed opinions directly contrary to those expressed by the chief-executive. , DERHAPS it is the humidity. Or it may be that the membership of Senator Knowland on one of the committees Dulles addressed, had something to do with his undiplomatic and " Whatever it was the report from Washington that die Dulles stock has been declining ever since his visit to the Far East, and he is being criticized by Repub licans as well as Democrats, causes no surprise to this department , We assume Mr. Dulles still has the confidence of the President or he wouldn't be holding the job he has, but we doubt if his advice as far as conference tactics are concerned will have sufficient weight to place the President's more sound diplomatic instinct, much out of balance. THE great danger in Europe as of today is in our 1 judgment, by blundering provocation throwing Germany into the arms of Russia. And it is hardly an exaggeration to say that President Eisenhower is the best man in international ruling circles today, to pre vent it The Russian leaders know the President, and all evidence indicates they like and respect him. He is equally respected and liked by Adenauer of Germany. "Ike" also has this great advantage, he can not only understand the Russian point-of-view but he can make concessions to it, without being accused ex cept by Senator McCarthy perhaps of being "soft toward communism." In addition as his opposition to dropping atomic bombs in Indo China and blockading Red China demonstrated, he is naturally conserva tive, conciliatory and self-controlled. MO ONE should expect Mr. Eisenhower to accom- plish any miracles at Geneva. The age of miracles in the realm of international relation, we fear, has passed. But he is in a position to accomplish more in the direction of decreasing tensions and reaching some satisfactory condition of peaceful world co-existence than any other national leader, and the more he fol lows his own judgment and impulses and the less he heeds the . whispers and alarms of his Secretary of State, the better for the Geneva conference, the USA and the democratic world.

K.WJC i Matter of AND "GUIDED" V. Washington The intelligence estimators have been sent into a quick huddle by a seemingly minor detail in the recent Soviet statement on Germany."1? In a passage con cerning the horrors of mod ern war, there was a brief reference to the invention of "new, for merly non existent wea pons of mass Joseph Alsop destruction . . . atomic, hydrogen, guided and others." In this casual manner, the Kremlin has in effect declared that guided missiles which are weapons of mass destruction" are now accomplished facts. And the Kremlin has further placed these guided missies in the same grisly class as the A- and H bombs. The experts are not certain precisely what this may portend. But it is a fair bet that it means the Kremlin is well satisfied with the progress of its guided missile program. The bet is logi cal because Soviet guided mis sile development has .been an all-out effort, both more inten sive and larger in scale than the comparable American effort, ever since the end of the last war. A deadly, unseen race is go ing on, in fact, to, produce the first workable models of the true ultimate weapon the inter-continental guided missile with atomic or hydrogen warhead. And in this race, while the So viets are working all-out and have now begun to hint of their own success, the American motto is plainly "business as usual." The prevailing Pentagon cen sorship is nowhere stricter than in this special field on which the fate and future of this country may quite probably depend. But anyone with the most trifling experience in such matters can see that there is little urgency in the American effort, just by tak ing a quick look at the way the effort is organized. The pattern of organization is a matter of common knowledge in the air craft industry. The effort is headed un under Brig. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever and his Western Division of the Air Research and Development Command. Gen. Schriever has a total staff of about 100 persons. pi ADDITION, he has the con- suiting services of the Remo-Wool-Ridge Corporation, an ex tremely competent scientific group headed by the two former chief scientists of the Hushes Aircraft Company. Gen. Schrie ver's chief, scientific adviser is the brilliant Atomic Energy Commissioner, Dr. John . von Neumann. , Such is the superstructure of the American effort to build long-range guided missiles. The actual missile projects are in the hands of primary contractors, who in turn emolov swarm of subcontractors. Atlas, the nro- jected intercontinental ballistic missile with a speed ten times that of sound, is a Convair con. tract, for example. Navajo, the slower ram-let missile of inter. continental range, is a North American contract; and the still slower Snark is a Northrop Avi ation company contract. The primary contractors by no means give all their time to these vast projects which have been conf inded to them. The Con vair company,, for instance, is wonting on the F-102 fighter and the B-58 bomber, a new jet trans port and a jet-powered flying boat, a seaplane fighter' air craft and the Terrier guided mis sile, in addition to having re sponsibility for Atlas. The sub contractors are similarly han dling the needs of the long-range guided missile nroiects alone with much other business. The Pentagon maintains, meanwhile, that the long-range guided missile nroiects have highest priority. "Every dollar that is asked for is promptly made available, is the Pentagon theme sons. But that is meaning less. Los Alamos, at the end of the war. had 8.000 neonle at work behind the barbed wire. In the lons-ranee missile effort the substitute for Los Alamos is a Brigadier General with a staff of 100, plus a rather small indus trial rnmnanv. rilus a chief sripn- tist who is giving his life-and- death 30b what time he can spare from his other duties as Atomic Energy Commissioner. BUILDING long-range missiles is a vastly more difficult job than building A-bombs. What is wanted to do the job, of course, is a Manhattan District type of organization, outside Pentagon channels, able to mobilize all needed scientific manpower, en joying a commanding industrial priority, and above all directed by the sort of huge collective or synthetic super-brain that was the Los Alamos laboratory in war-time. But that kind of orga nization would upset the Penta gon's dominant budget balances by developing really massive ex penditure requirements. The people now involved in the long-range missile effort are all admirable and capable peo ple. But the organization is wrong. The priorities an wrong. 1 Fact By Joseph Alsop The Pentagon outlook is wrong (which is not surprising, since Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson originally regarded the whole effort as visionary non sense.) And so the Soviets are being given a golden opportu nity to win the guided missile race. - Copyright, 1955, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Editorial Comment A HEW CLIMATE' FOR AMERICA? So much has happened. It is hard to believe that only a year ago, as the "Army-McCarthy" hearings ground to a close, Americans were still scared to death of "subversives," so scared in fact that they didn't have time to hold the initiative in the cold war. But so much has hap pened since. Now, as.Alistair Cooke observed in the Manches ter Guardian "Freedom breaks out all over." Rarely, we dare say, has the "political and moral climate" changed so radically in one short year. Remember a year ago, or two years ago if you prefer, and now look. Consider these recent events: The government decided not to prosecute Owen Lattimore, the man whom Sen. McCarthy identified as "The top Russian secret agent in this country," that the McCarren committee called "A conscious, articulate instrument of the Soviet conspir acy," that Pres." Truman's at torney general James McGran ery, called "A Communist sym pathizer and promoter of Com munist causes and a perjurer for denying that he was these things," an dthat Pres. Eisenhow er's attorney general, Herbert Brownell, called "A follower of the Communist line and perjur er for denying he had been one." It occurred to the government, a little late, that Mr. Lattimore's "crime" had been the possession of bad judging, a failing not pun ishable by law. The courts took away from the state department its arbi trary authority to deny pass ports without cause and without permitting the citizen recourse. The U.S. supreme court clear ed Dr. John Peters of Yale of the "security Tisk" stigma. (Unfor tunately the court did not rule on the more basic question of using "secret witnesses" and "star chamber" techniques, both of which figured in the case against Dr. Peters.) Harry P. Cain, once a bit of a witch-hunter himself until the voters of Washington saw fit to retire him from the Senate, suf fered a change of . heart. 4 Now he's an outspoken critic of the devices he once used himself. Ezra Taft Benson, the secre tary of agriculture, came around, somewhat less than gracefully, to admitting what most people already knew, that he gave a public servant named Wolf Ladejinsky a very bad deal. (There are some who think Mr. Benson might have added that he's sorry. . But he didn't, so maybe he isn't) - i The Senate Internal Security committee asked the attorney general to scrub up his list of subversive organizations. One member of that committee is In diana's Sen. Bill Jenner, one of the few remaining "McCarthy- ites," and Sen. Jenner didn't say a word about the committee's re quest Didn't even wave his arms. 'The troubles of a New York politician named Corsi started the ball rolling for possible re vision of the immigration law. When Sen. McCarthy sought to tell President , Eisenhower what to talk about at the coming "summit" meeting, the Senate voted, 77 to 4, to put the Sena tor in his place. - And from here it looks as if Sen McCarthy will be remem bered in history principally as the man who gave "mccarthy- ism" to the language back in the frantic days when the people of the home of the brave were act ing scared to death.

To the Editor: One thing I like very much about being a new citizen of the United States is that now I can "pop off" about things I don't like. There are very few things I do not like in my new country but there are many things I do not understand. One of these things which makes a big puz zle to me is this: Before coming a U. S. Ameri can I am a Latin American and where I come from we mostly drink the coffee "straight" No cream, no sugar, just coffee. The other day in the news paper a restaurant man said that the 5 cents cup of coffee will never come back. He said that while the coffee that makes one cup of coffee now costs only 2 cents, the sugar and cream prices make it impossible to sell for 5 cents so he charges 10 cents. Now, for my "pop off." Why should people like me who al ways drink the coffee black pay ten cents, the same as people who use the cream and the sug gar? I think for American fair play the man who drinks the coffee "straight" should pay not so much as those who take the sugar and cream. Maybe some of your readers will agree with me, I hope. ' Jose Rivera Gonzalez, Parkway Village Jamaica, N. Y. Today and By Walter THE PRELIMINARY SKIRMISH As "a preface to the secret meeting at the summit we have just heard a public dialogue on the subject of German re unification. Last Thursday evening Sir Anthony Eden made a speech saying that the West want ed a united Germany Walter Llppmana Within the NATO system, but was prepared to negotiate about guarantees to reassure. the Soviet Union. That this was the Western position was, of course, known in Mos cow, and that same day Pravda had an article rejecting German unification inside NATO. On Tuesday of this week the Krem lin backed this up in an official statement' The question is why, after go ing to a great deal of trouble to arrange a secret meeting at the highest level, after all that has been said about confidential di plomacy, the two sides have chosen to make a public demon stration of how incompatible are their positions oh the German problem. I can think of only one reasonable explanation. It is that they know that . they cannot agree now on German unifica tion, and they want the world to know it before they go to Geneva. rpHE public exchange does not disclose all the reasons,, and certainly not the main reason, why the four powers cannot agree now. It is that German re unification can only be ap proached, it cannot be achieved, without a settlement on the German-Polish frontier. The West ern proposals, as outlined by Sir Anthony Eden, are silent on the subject of the frontiers. The So viet reply is also silent Neither proposal is entirely serious. Both sides know that neither proposal is acceptable to Dr. Adenauer's government Even if the Soviet Union agreed to the Eden plan, Dr.. Adenauer cannot sign a treaty which renounces the German claim to the lost ter ritories. And the West .cannot, of course, agree to the Soviet plan for a weak Germany con fined' within the Potsdam fron tiers. ' The two positions which were taken publicly this past week are not only incompatible with one another. Each is inherently im possible. Both are based on the outdated premise, which no one can really believe in any longer, that it is still possible for the four victors to make, if they can agree among themselves, a Ger man settlement. A four power agreement, based on the Pots dam frontiers, would have to be imposed on the two Germanies. But the German Federal Repub lic is now a great European power, and a settlement cannot be imposed upon it. No German government which was free and democratic could survive if it agreed to the Potsdam frontiers. SINCE this spring, since West Germanv recovered its sov- ereienty and was admitted to NATO, it has been evident that when serious negotiation be gins the two , principal powers will be Bonn and Moscow. Dr. Adenauer's loyalty to the West ern alliance is not in question. But bo made it clear enough dur-, IPOYIUCEC (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Potluck can be serious, once in a while, and this is one of the times. . We shared the shock of his other friends at learning of the death of Dr. Bob Sleeter at the age of 44 last .week. Dr. Bob was one of the nicest people we know, and that senti ment is shared not only by his friends but by most of his pa tients. One of them, who asked not to be identified other than as one "who has reason to be grateful to him," called us Fri day to suggest that it would be most appropriate to remember him in a permanent way. "There will be plenty of flow ers at his funeral," she said, and added, "I'd rather give what I can to do something he would have .liked. Maybe the other doctors in his office would be willing to accept gifts for the purchase of obstetrical equip ment for one of the hospitals, or for some other purpose about which they'd know best. What do you think of the idea?" , Potluck collectively likes the idea, and its sincere and honest and heartfelt motivation, and passes along the suggestion to others who may feel the same way. On the lighter side, we can report that a new hampthire red hen, owned by Mrs. Andy Payne, 4264 Hilsinger rd laid a speckled egg last week on which the speckles were so arranged that on one side the figure "292" was spelled out The formation of the figures Tomorrow Lippmanh ing his American visit this spring that his policy is to be armed by the United States, and .then with the loyal support of the whole Western alliance led by the United States to negoti ate a German settlement with the Soviet Union. Dr. Adenauer believes that in two or three years, -when there is a German Army in NATO, his position will be strong enough to obtain re unification with frontiers that are much better than Potsdam, It follows that Dr. Adenauer neither expects nor desires seri ous negotiations about. Germany at this time. : There are strong reasons for thinking that the Soviet Union, for. its part, is also intending to negotiate not with the Geneva powers but directly:- with the Germans. The invitation to Dr. Adenauer to come to Moscow to arrange for normal diplomatic relations is the necessary prelim inary. But there is more to it than that. Since the Berlin meet ing of 1954 there has been little reason to think that Moscow would ever wish to negotiate with us about Germany. All the Soviet actions , have quite ob viously been addressed to the Germany., THE fact that both Bonn and Moscow are looking toward direct negotiations does not mean that they are ready to ne; gotiate. Almost certainly neither is now ready to negotiate. Dr. Adenauer wants first to have a German Army, which means that he expects to wait .about three years. The Kremlin, pre sumably, is waiting for Dr. Aden auer to disappear, confident that it can deal more easily with his successor. Dr. Adenauer seems to think that the Soviet Union is in trouble,, that it iil need a set tlement more and more urgently and that by putting off the nego tiation Germany will gain. the upper hand. It-is a bold specu lation. The obverse of it is that in this waiting period of several years the Soviet Union can keep on tempting the Germans and sowing dissension inside West ern Germany. -. TOHE Atlantic nowers cannot be -- happy about the prospect of all : this maneuvering ' and of eventual direct German-Soviet negotiations at the end of it Dr'. Adenauer's policy is for a long run, and there is no telling who will conclude what he : has started. There is no certainty at all that the German government which settles with the Soviet Union will think and feel as does Dr. Adenauer. The . problem of the .West- is how to avoid being excluded and disregarded, or of being dragged along," when the German-Soviet negotiations take place. Our best hope would seem to he in work ing out in the near future an all European-security agreement some sort of all-European politi cal community, within which the two ; Germanies would be im bedded. On this point the Soviets appear to be ready to negotiate with us.. For while the direct German- Russian .negotiations are . un avoidable, and indeed necessary, it is enormously important that in these negotiations neither the Germans - nor . the Russians should have an entirely free hand. v- - Copyright lt55 - Mew York Herald Tribune lac was "juit perfect" she said. As of the moment, two mem bers of the Mail Tribune staff write editorials. The senior of the two last week received a 'phone call from a young man a very young man who de manded if he had written "that piece about Davy Crockett?" No," the senior editorial writer disclaimed, and offered to connect him with the junior staff member who had done so. This was accomplished. Did you write that piece about Davy Crockett?" the youthful voice asked the sec ond writer. "Yes," he admitted. "Is it true?" the youngster de manded. (The piece in question had been entitled "Davy Crock ett, Bum.") The truth of the piece was. somewhat hestitantly, admitted. The young voice exuded ela tion ai it said, "I thought to. My friend didn't believe it an will you teU him?" Another young voice came on and asked "is it . true?" "Yes, I'm afraid so," he was told. Oh," he said. There was a long pause. "OK," he said.
