To the Editor: I too was interested in the loud ap
plause that greeted President Eisenhower and tried
to explain it as you did in your Sunday editorial. Only
I reached a different conclusion. However, you may
be right and I may be wrong or we may both be
right. Who knows?
Anyway, this is the way I explained it. It was all
due to Sputniks 1 and 2. Had there been such a world
wide shock a year ago there would have been 39 in
stead of only five interruptions then.
That is: I mean the country suffered a terrible sur
prise and shock second only to Pearl Harbor. The
members of congress naturally responded to that
shock and went to listen to the President in a high
emotional state, and I think most of them plain scared.
They wanted most of them to be reassured, to
have their national pride and self-confidence restored
and when "Ike" said anything that contributed to this
restoring their self-esteem and faith that "God'g
still in his heaven all's right with the world" they
applauded, cheered and, I think I detected a few
whistles.
I don't deny the affection for Ike and his show of
courage after his three serious illnesses were factors,
but the main reason for all that enthusiasm was, it
seemed to me, an emotional relief from apprehensions.
This is just for your information though I have no
great objection to printing it, but please don't sign my
name. I guess I am sort of publicity shy, I have the
courage of my convictions but I just don't like argu
ments, particularly over the phone.
Subscriber (Name on file)
We are giving top-billing to the above for sev-
j era! reasons the principal one being it is JNhWb.
in mebe paiiuua umea we ttiinuot ucvci get
comunications, particularly regarding editorials,
which deal in anything more relevant than name
calling. Rarely does the communicant answer anv of
the statements contained in the offensive offer
ing, make any serious attempt to refute any of
them, but is contented to enter a blanket indict
ment, ornamented with a few rhetorical cobble
stones and dead-cats.
THE author of the above, however, apparently
not only read the editorial in question which
is something but concedes there may be some
validity to it, though his or her own explana
tion is naturally preferred.
This reasonable and conciliatory attitude m
our communication department, as far as editon
als are concerned, is as rare, unusual and unex
pected as the well-known Charles Dana example
of man bites dog.
In fact, if our memory serves correctly some
man in Hoboken, N. J., did bite a dog a year or
so ago.
So that makes this offering even more NEWS'
worthy.
AND perhaps equally remarkable we agree en
til Cl VVXlvll UU1 tUi J. VOUllUvllU
We don't know that the high emotional de
sire for a "shot-in-the-arm" and reassurance from
on high," was the dominant factor in the en
thusiasm of the congress, but it was undoubtedly
an important element m that reaction. Moreover
it may very well have been more determining
than the bi-partisan wish to pay tribute to our
aging but "Happy Warrior", who so plainly was
standing there on the firing line, determined to
carry out the mission for which he had been
chosen, regardless of what the consequences
might be physically to himself.
THERE was another factor of course.
A year ago the election was over and there
was a natural emotional let-down. This year not
only had there been the two Sputnik" shocks,
but there is a congressional election in the offing,
and perhaps subconsciously but nevertheless ac
tually, there was a determination on the part of
the Republicans assembled therein, (modern
AND ancient), to leave no doubt as to where they
stood, when it came to their greatest political
asset in over half a centuiy General Dwight D
Eisenhower !
UNDOUBTEDLY there were other elements in
that vociferous reception picture but we shall
leave further details, as indicated before, up to
the psychiatrists. Sufficient for the present is to
again remark that as we viewed it, that almost
continuous wave of applause was not in any sense
universal agreement with or reaction to, what the
President said, but was a sort of spontaneous non
partisan expression of good will, respect and af
fection for the man ! R.W.R.
A Very "Ify" Question'
The final reason for choosing the above as a
ext for today is the fact that it brings up what we
regard as a very important question, namely:
There is no doubt that what the members of
he congress and the American people as a
whole WANTED from the President was re
assurance but there is some doubt in fact
considerable that at this particular time a dose
of soothing-syrup of "God's in his Heaven, all's
right with the world" was what the nation need
ed or should have had.

Ike's Proposal for UN Charter
Observance Challenges Russia

United Press Correspondent
President Eisenhower has
proposed to Soviet Russia a
practical and logical solution
of all Cold
Political Crossfire
Rages on Missiles
IT ALL depends of course upon what the situa-
tion between this country and the USSR real
ly is and what it isn't.
And the disturbing truth in that area, as we
view it, is really "NO ONE knows." It is a matter
for the Department of Intelligence and the nu
clear experts to decide.
But did the U.S. Intelligence know anything
about the Sputnik flight BEFORE it was launch
ed? Does it know today in any detail what Russia
really has in the field of nuclear war equipment
including the "ICBM", moon - rockets and the
like? If it does and has not informed the govern-
Washington (IB Top Dem
ocrats and Republicans flung
new charges today in a rag
ing political crossfire over
President Eisenhower's missile-age
leadership.
Sen.. Hubert H. Humphrey
(D- Minn.) declared that "no
amount of political hokum
and bunkum" will convince
Americans the Eisenhower
administration "has adequate
ly taken care of national de
fense." Humphrey said one of the
administration's first acts five
years ago was to trim $5 bil
lion from former President
Truman's defense budget and
$2 billion from foreign aid.
Counters Martin. Knowland
The Minnesota Democrat's
charge apparently was aimed
at countering a broadside
fired Monday night by Sen
ate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland and House
GOP Leader Joseph M. Mar
tin. They asserted in a joint
statement the Truman admin
istration must bear most of
the blame if the United States
is trailing Russia in missile
development.
But in New York, Truman
said Monday night they were
trying after five years "to
pass the buck" and it was a
little late.
Truman started the running
fight in an interview by say
ing Eisenhower was a great
military leader because "he
had someone to tell him what
to do."
But Truman did have one
work of praise for the Presi
dent. He told reporters Mon
day, Eisenhower had written
a "good" reply to Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai A. Bulganin.
Has Voice, Brains
Vice President Richard M,
Nixon told a lunch audience
Monday that Eisenhower had
shown last week that he "has
the voice and the brain and
knows what to do for the
United States."
Knowland and Martin re
acted with much greater vio
lence in a "public memoran
dum" addressed to Truman
and replying to his "incred
ible remarks."
They said expert testimony
from scientists and military
leaders showed that "if today
we are behind the Soviet
Union in some respects in the
race to perfect the weapons
of the future ... a consid
erable part of the blame lies
on the doorstep of your ad
ministration."
University of Portland
Dormitory Approved
Portland (IP) University of
Portland officials said today
the Federal Housing and Home
agency had approved plans
for a men's dormitory and a
dining hall at the school. Total

ment then it should be kicked out of office lock,
stock and barrel and not tomorrow but NOW !
I
F IT has had and still has such information and
kept the government informed during the
post-war era, then the government has been dere
lict and irresponsible to an appalling degree. For
this would mean that the present administration
knew what Soviet Russia was accomplishing in
the entire nuclear field, and yet sat supinely by
year after year and did nothing about it.
who knows?
We don't. And we don't know anyone who
does or if they do who have the courage to
speak out about it.
,
IT IS all right to refer it all to the "experts." But
among themselves, but many of them don't agree
WITH themselves. Several of them, for example,
said one thing at the time of the Second Sputnik
and are saying something entirely different today.
So it all adds up to the confusion and doubt
worse confounded.
If as some of the "experts" claim, the USA is
still ahead of Russia, there is no cause for alarm,
thanks to the, Sputniks we have awakened in
ample time, and without endangering our econ
omy or even unbalancing the budget we can con
duct business as usual, and keep the Muscovites
completely in check also have 1958 as prosper
ous and secure "as was the BANNER year of
1957" why fine and dandy relax, strike up the
band, let joy be unconfined.
DUT IF, as other "experts" claim, we are so far
behind Russia we can never catch up ; the con
trol of "outer space" is threatened ; the USA faces
the greatest peril in its history and we can't have
business as usual if we expect to escape the loss
of our position as a No. 1 world power THEN
Well that, as the saying goes, is entirely an
other "kettle of fish". Who is right? v
Who is wrong?
We don't know. And we don't know anyone
who does.
DUT this is for sure :
IF the prophets of "doom and gloom"
SHOULD be right THIS time, then that cheering
vigorous and reassuring speech on the "State of
he Nation, last Thursday will be linked in his
tory, in the same bracket of diplomatic failures
and surrenders with that of Premier Chamberlain
of Great Britain, who instead of calling for "sweat
and tears as Winston Churchill later did, pro
claimed majestically he had secured "PEACE in
our time." R.W.R.
llfHAT'S happening?
' I wouldn't know. But I
wouldn't put it beyond old
Kruschev to have a radio sta
tion hidden out somewhere
in the brush sending out the
beeps to scare the pants off
the rest of the world.
If such were the case, he'd
figure that if he could get us
badly enough scared he could
handle us. N

payrolls.
Let's complete the develop

is the No. 2 power stream of
the American Pacific coast

And so on.
LET'S LIVE IN THIS GEN

Let's leave preparation for
these distant coming genera

War differ
ences between
the East and
West.
It is simply
that the So
viet govern
ment, after
more than 12
years, start to
make its obli
gations under the United Na
tions charter the basis of its
foreign policy. (
There has been some com
plaint, both in foreign coun
tries and in the United States,
that there was nothing dra
matic or even new in the
letter the President has sent
to Soviet Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin.
There is considerable feel
ing in allied as well as in neu
tral countries that Bulganin,
in the letters with which he
has bombarded countries . all
oyer the world, has won the
diplomatic initiative.
Made Some New Proposals
Eisenhower, in his replies
to the two letters Bulganin
sent to him, did make some
important proposals of his
own.
One of them was that nu
clear - powered missiles be
launched only for peaceful
purposes.
Another was that a "sum
mit" meeting on Cold War
issues might be held if secret
diplomatic exchanges, then a
meeting of foreign ministers,
showed that there was real
hope of agreement.
But the President put his
greatest emphasis on the fact
that the U.N. charter, if Rus
sia ever started to observe it,
would make a summit meet
ing unnecessary.
Eisenhower cited the char
ter on six specific points in
his letter.
He said that the charter
provides for the collective se
curity which Russia says it
wants, and makes the U.N.
Security council primarly re
sponsible for maintaining it.
But he pointed out that Rus
sia has used its veto power
82 times in the council.
He reminded Russia that
the charter authorizes region
al treatment for self-defense
such as the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization which
the Soviet government de
nounces as aggressive.
In reply to Bulganin's
proposal that the big powers
respect the independence of
Middle Eastern countries, and
renounce the use of force in
settling issues there, Eisen-
Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
DISORDER OF THE WEST
Paris There is only one
word for Premier Bulganin's
latest suggestion of a meet
ing at the sum
m i t so en
larged that it
would resem
ble a prayer
!meeti ng, or
perhaps a gar
den party. It
is grotesque.
Being trans
parently gro-
JoseDh aisod xesque, more
over, Premier Bulganin's lat
est fusillade of letters can
only be regarded as an open
mark of Soviet contempt for
the present disorder of the
West. The reasons are not far
to seek, if you take a hard
look at what has been hap
pening in recent weeks.
In the first place, Premier
Bulganin has already enjoyed
one great epistolary triumph,
with his earlier fusillade of
letters fired off just before
the grandiose NOTO meeting
of Chiefs of State. Often be
fore, the Soviets have tried to
intrude upon the councils of
the West in just this way,
Never before has the attempt
met with anything but cold
rebuff.
This time, however, the in
trusion was brilliantly suc
cessful. The NATO really had
been called to strengthen the
West's defenses. Just prior to
the meeting, with his usual
inimitable timing, Secretary
of State Dulles had published
an article roundly condemn
ing any over -hasty resump
tion of negotiations with the
Soviet Union.
BUT the demand for re
newed negotiations in Bul
ganin's letters was a main
topic among the NATO con
ferees. Although the measures
they took to strengthen the
West were decidedly modest,
the conferees replied to Bul
ganin that they would just
love to negotiate. And Secre
tary Dulles assented with a
frozen smile.
At the NATO conference
table, certain limits were at
least laid down. Any mention
of a meeting at the summit
was sedulously avoided. Nego
tiations for the sake of nego
tiations, paper agreements for
the sake of agreements, were
piously and unanimously con
demned. In sum, a kind of line
was traced beyond which no
one was to go.
The line did not last long.
The first breach occurred
when French Prime Minister
Gaillard casually spoke up for
second summit meeting at
an early date, in the course of
an otherwise tough and sen
sible interview.
The second and even bigger
breech was made by British
Prime Minister Macmillan,
with a proposal, for a so-called
non-aggression pact between
the Soviets and the West. This
was just about on a par with
the Kellog Pact to "outlaw
war" the previous high water
mark of what may be des
cribed as wishful - thinking '
diplomacy.
.
MEANWHILE, the agitation
was also going on in
favor of Polish Foreign Secre
tary Rapacki's scheme for a
denuclearized zone in cen
tral Europe. The Rapacki "de
nuclearized zone" is most em
phatically not to be policed or
controlled, at least on the So
viet side of the line. A child
of three ought to be able to
see the hookers in such a
scheme. But it has been taken,
and is still being taken in
creasingly seriously in both
Paris and London.
In these circumstances, it
is not enough to say that the
fears of the post-Sputnik era
have given the peoples of the
West a gnawing appetite for
self delusion. As far as it goes
this is true; and Premier Gail
lard and Prime Minister Mac
millan have both been very
frankly catering to this public
appetite. But an almost total
lack of trust in American
present leadership is just as
significant a factor as the
post-Sputnik fears. And im
portant western leaders like
Gaillard and MacmiUan would
not be riding off in all direc
tions, if there were a remain
ing shadow of real western
unity.
Nor is this the worst of it,
by any means. The subjects
everyone is earnestly discuss
ing the Bulganin call for a
garden party at the summit,
the Rapacki scheme and the
Macmillan version of the Kel
log Pact are all obvious
phoneys. Every responsible
western official and every re
sponsible Soviet official
knows they are phoneyi.
"DUT while this endless con-
versation about phoneys
is carried on, no one says a
word about the only serious
question raised by recent So
viet diplomacy. This is the
question raised by the repeat
ed and more and pressing So
viet invitations to a Soviet-
American dialogue. Such a
dialogue is in fact the only
form of East-West negotiation
for which the men in the
Kremlin give a snap of their
fmgers. The Soviet invitations
to begin such a dialogue
therefore constitute a delicate
and vital problem, needing
most careful discussion among
the allies.
But this problem cannot be
discussed; it cannot even be
mentioned, once again be
cause of the almost total lack
of trust in the present Ameri
can leadership. Altogether,
the West's disorder has now
reached an unprecedented
point.
And the disorder will not
be cured, either, even if the
permanent NATO council suc
ceeds in its present endeavor
to persuade the member na
tions to speak (or mumble)
with one voice in their ans
wers to the Soviets.

hower pointed out that the
charter covers that situation
like a blanket.
As to Bulganin's- propo
sal for a non-aggression pact,
Eisenhower pointed out that
the charter contains a pledge
against aggression.
On Bulganin's proposal
for a pledge that the United
States, Great Britain and
Russia promise not to use nu
clear weapons, Eisenhower
pointed out that the charter
pledges U.N. members not to
use any weapons at all against
the territory or independence
of any state.
Finally, as to Bulganin's
proposal for development of
friendship and cooperation,
Eisenhower reminded Bulga
nin that the charter calls for
that.
Certainly it is true that
there was nothing dramatic
in the President's citation of
the charter. But it is pretty
certain that his detailed re
view of charter obligations
will appeal to a lot of coun
tries in Latin America, in
Asia and even in Western
Europe which would like to
see the U.N. made the bul
wark of peace which it is sup
posed to be.
