Eisenhower's Speech Wakes Him Dominating Figure at Geneva Conference
Russians Learning How To
Say 'Nyet' With a Smile;
Now Capable of Laughing
By HENRY SHAPIRO
United Preti Correspondent
Geneva (U.R; Whetber
Geneva accomplishes anything
or not on a global diplomatic
scale, it has again demonstrated
to an Incredulous world that the
Russians can laught, joke and
smile.
Ever since former Premier
Josef Stalin's death unfroze Arc
tic Russia to be swept by the
thawing winds of the current
rew look. Soviet officialdom,
high and low, has learned that
good manners are not incom
patible with Marxism.
' They have taken a lesson out
of Emily Post and developed a
technique of saying "nyet" (no)
with a smile.
I experienced the thaw in
Moscow soon after Stalin's
death when Foreign Ministry of
ficials inexplicably began to an
swer my telephone calls in nor
mal, polite tones. The answers
were still "nyet" on most mat
ters concerning routine press
facilities, but somehow it did
not sound so offensive as in pre
vious years.
Sting Is Gone
After some weeks of effort.
the chief press officer even
agreed to receive me in his sky
scraper office to let me have a
negative, but courteous, reply
to my query.

It was the fourth logging ope

Patrolmen were called out
shortly alter 2 p.m. yesterday.
Cause of the fire was not cer

Two patrol crews, a logging in
spector and a number of log
gfrs worked on the fire. Ed

around the blaze.
A patrol crew was checking
the scene today and Edwards'
men were mopping up.
Mopping up operations were
still under way today also in
the Jameson gulch area on
Pleasant creek where a 10-acre

Two other fires in logging areas
were reported earlier in the

Nikolai Bulganin to the lowliest
Tass reporter, are still saying
"nyet" to most questions that
matter, but some of the old sting
has gone. A Western newspaper
man can freely walk into Soviet
headquarters at the Hotel Metro-
pole and be received by the of
ficial spokesman without a guard
looking over his shoulder.
At all the international confer
ences held since Stalin's death.
the formerly remote Russians
have been approachable and
talkative.
Will Talk Shop
They have been ready to ex
change opinions, swap jokes and
talk shop with anyone who wish
es to talk with them
But they still ar enot letting
down their guard
They are seeking contact -with
Western journalists, they give
and accept invitations for din
ner. I had more drinks and chats
with Russians in one week at
the Berlin and" Geneva confer
ences than in five years of the
cold war in Moscow.
At home, the top Kremlin
brass, to the delight of Western
journalists and diplomats, have
developed the practice of turning
up collectively at embassy recep
tions, mingling with the crowd,
making important statements
around the vodka bar and com
mitting calculated indiscretions.
This was inconceivable under
Stalin from the time the witty
and westernized foreign commis
sar Maxim Litvinov, was re
moved from the Cabinet in 1939.

Obvious Sincerity
Of Daring Secrets
Trade Applauded
Geneva UR) President Ei
senhower's dramatic appeal to
the Russians to trade arms se
crets, as proof of a mutual desire
for peace, made him today the
unrivalled dominant figure of
the Geneva summit conference.
One high French delegation
spokesman said the French feel
that Mr. Eisenhower has inherit
ed the mantle of retired former
British Prime Minister Winstan
Churchill as "the world's fore
most statesman."
This new assertion of world
leadership by the American chief
executive has been built surely
and rapidly at the summit con
ference by his obvious sincerity,
and the earnest and convincing
way he has made his points, both
inside and outside the conference
chamber.
Scored Great Victory I
French Premier Edsar Faure,
deeply moved by the President's
daring proposal to the Russians
yesterday put it this way:
Mr. Eisenhower, by his bold
stroke '"has scored the first great
victory over skepticism."
Geneva and much of the
world's press have been similar
ly captivated by his personal
warmth, sincerity and great hu
manity. The President is no maker of
great and resounding phrases in
the tradition of Churchill.
In fact, his bold proposal of
yesterday was made in rough,
looping and grasping language,
typical of his presentation of an
idea that is expressed his own
way, without the aid of ghost
writers.
But even the British, whose
concept of diplomacy is more
orthodox and straight laced,
agreed today that Mr. Eisenhow
er s personal diplomacy naa
done more than any other single
thing to ease the 10-year-old sus
picions and distrust of the cold
war and generate a new mood
of confidence.
And his arms secrets exchange
plan was a very personal stroke.
It became known today that
an intensive study started last
March 18 on the project the
President proposed. And the
timing, the basic idea and the
language were the President's
own.
The key paragraphs of the
proposal, it became known,
were delivered on the spur ot
close timing and without a pre
pared, text.
Conference sources said tit
was Soviet Premier Nikolai
Bulganin's outline of Russia's
disarmament' proposals that con
vinced Mr. Eisenhower the time
was ripe for his dramatic strike.
He read the smoothly phrased,,
carefully prepared text down to
its docile center portion.
Then Mr. Eisenhower removed
his glasses. He turned directly
.toward Bulganin.
Pounding the table repeatedly
for emphasis at several points,
he outlined the plan which he
said had come from deeply
"searching heart and mind" for
an expression of America's great
sincerity in the search for dis
armament and peace.
Haltingly, at points, awkward
ly at others, he laid his plan be
fore the conference. He reiterat
ed for emphasis and explained
his meaning in almost the terms
of a teacher to an inattentive
child.
There could be no mistaking
the sweeping scope of his pro
posal, the depth of his sincerity
or the meaning of his words.
The high ceilinged conference
hall was hushed. All eyes were
riveted on the speaker.
Near the end a thunderstorm
broke over Geneva. A short cir
cuit snuffed out the lights almost
on Mr. Eisenhower's closing
words.
Silence and emotional tension
followed.
"I didn't expect to blow out
the lights," the President com
mented, as much to himself as
to the delegations.
A French spokesman said the
tension in the chamber was so
great that few if any noticed,
that the lights had gone out.

Washington (U.R) Most of
Congress cheered President Eis
enhower's bold plan for a big
power exchange of military in
formation today. But a long
standing distrust of Russia kept
the verdict from being unani
mous. "I think it's terrible," was the
angry but private comment of
one Republican leader.
Some of those who applauded
were skeptical that Russia would
accept Mr. Eisenhower's plan to
trade maps of military installa
tions and rights for aerial re
connaisance of these defense
areas.
But those who approved gen
erally viewed the proposal as
a tactical coup which put Russia
on the spot and provided what
Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.)
called the "acid test" of Soviet
sincerity.
The administration had given
congressional leaders in both
parties a confidential tip-off that
Mr. Eisenhower might unveil
the plan at the Geneva confer
ence Thursday.
Statements of Approval
When the news 'came, George
and other Senate Democratic
leaders, including Floor Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson, hospitalized
for three weeks by a heart at
tack, were ready with statements
of approval.
The loudest backing,, in fact,
came from the Democrats. Sen
ate Republican Leader. William
F. Knowland and Chairman
Styles Bridges of the Senate
GOP Policy Committee declined
to comment, Knowland explain
ing that he would say nothing
about the conference until it
ends.
In the House, Republican
leader Joseph W. Martin Jr said
that Mr. Eisenhower's proposal
"might be the step which would
lead to peace." Assistant GOP
leader Charles A. Halleck said
Soviet acceptance would be "one
magnificent accomplishment" of
the conference.
But Rep. John M. Vorys (R.
O.) of the foreign affairs com
mittee was not satisfied. The ex
change of blueprints he said,
"with people who have been
known to fake blueprints is not
very satisfactory."
The hospitalized Johnson is
sued a statement calling the plan
"the daring, imaginative stroke
for which a war-weary world
has been waiting." Acting Sen
ate Democratic leader Earle C.
Clements said the success of the
Geneva conference on the dis
armament issue would depend
on the Communist answer.

Stockholm, Sweden U.R)
An aircraft designer at an un

warns that aerial photography
cannot show all arms projects.
Commenting on President Eis
enhower's proposal at Geneva,
the designer said that not every
thing can be seen from the air.
The 30-year-old engineer, who
asked that his name not be re
vealed for security reasons, was
skeptical.
"How can the Americans be

Russians accepted this . . . offer
they would not hide a number of
their important factories and
