Today & Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
STALEMATE
During the past week the
Kremlin has been acting as if
it were in no hurry at all to
have a meet
ing at the
summit. It is
not clear why
Mr. Gromyko
is taking this
line. It is pos-
s i b 1 e, how-
ever, that
there has been
U'alr.r l.innminn SOme KlUfl
. of dec i s i o n
reached at the highest level
We may assume, I believe,
that the Soviet policy is to
maintain the status quo, that
is to avoid serious negotiation
for settlements, and yet at the
same time to relax the fears
and tensions which , trouble
the Russian people as they do
all the other peoples of the
world. The Kremlin may have
come to the conclusion that
the basic Western policy is not
to relax the tension unless and
until the Soviet Union makes
concessions which amount to
a substantial retreat.
It has been made abundant
ly clear in Washington that
this government is opposed to
a meeting of which the real
and only purpose is to reduce
tension. President Eisenhower
himself might, if left to follow
his own impulses, be induced
to participate in that kind of
a meetng. But Mr. Dulles is
opposed and he has the able
and vehement support of Mr
Truman and Mr. Acheso act
ing as spokesmen of the Demo
cratic Party.
This would mean, so the
Kremlin may have concluded,
that at a summit meeting they
might find themselevs on the
' defensive, subject to embar
rassing questions about . . a
. change in Germany, in East
era Europe, and in the Middle
East.
ALL this, I hasten to say, is
mere speculation. But it
springs from the known reali
ties. Thus, we know from re
peated statements by Mr.
Khrushchev that his terms for
a settlement of the cold war
are a recognition of the status
quo in Germany and in East
ern Europe, plus open and
avowed rivalry in Asia and
Africa. On this basis, he pro
poses to relax the tension of
the race of armaments and of
the military posture which
put the two great powers in
a state of permanent mobiliza
tion. Our policy, on the other
hand, is in its essentials a
challenge to the status quo.
This means, and is bound to
mean, an acceptance on our
part of an indefinite state of
tension. Officially, we are
opposed to a pause in the race
of armaments. Unless the
President reverses it, our
policy is not to regulate the
race but to go all out to win
it.
Dr. Teller and Admiral
Strauss are offering the Pen
tagon a glittering prize. Or is
it a mirage in the desert? They
propose to give us absolute
nuclear superiority. It will
consist of offensive nuclear
weapons capable of destroying
the adversary and of defensive
nuclear weapons, still to be in
vented, which can defend us
from being destroyed by the
adversary. They are telling

us that we are allowed to &o
on testing and developing,
they will reach the Utopian
condition of affairs when we
can strike absolutely and can
not be struck dangerously.
rpHERE is no use going to a
summit meeting, .there is
no use going through the mo
tions of preparing a summit
meeting, as long as both of
the two big powers have posi
tions that cannot be negoti
ated. What is likely to come of
this diplomatic stalemate?
It will mean, I believe, that
since things will not stand still
and that as the new genera
tion, the post-post-war genera
tion, comes forward and the
Angry Old Men of Diplomacy
subside, the relative impor
tance both of Moscow and of
Washington will decline. We
are at least at the beginning
of the end of the post-war era
when political power was
polarized around the two
great survivors of World War
II.
I do not know this but I be
lieve that this is the fact in
side the Communist orbit. The
influence of Moscow in War
saw, in Belgrade, in Peiping,
may rise or fall from time to
time but its general trend is
downward. There is no doubt,
I think, that the decline of the
importance of the United
States is one of the great facts
within the non - Communist
world. The anti - Americanism
which is such a big political
phenomenon is no doubt a
complex of many feelings but
the core of it, I think, is not a
rebellion against our power
and our leadership but resent
ment that we expect to be
treated as if our power and
our leadership (relatively
speaking) were what they
were in the post-war years,

Takes Dad's Firm
Hollywood OPI Mike Todd
Jr., 28, was back in Holly
wood Saturday prepared to
take over the film producing
company left equally to him
and his father's widow, ac
tress Elizabeth Taylor, 26.
Todd visited his dad's of
fice at MGM Friday and said
he and Miss Taylor had de
cided to put off production of
"Don Quixote" the film his
father had spent years pre
paring to make and was about
to begin production on before
his sudden death in an air
plane crash March 22.
"Dad could have done it,"
Todd said. "But for me and
Elizabeth it would just be
too great a step. We have de
cided to do another produc
tion that won't take as long
to produce and won't take us
out of the country."
He declined to disclose the
name of the new production
but he said it was a film his
father had considered making
for the past 11 years.

phone calls threatening the
lives of actress Lana Turner
and her lawyer, Jerry Giesler,
Saturday caused Beverly
Hills police to continue a "spe
cial surveillance" of . their
homes and the home of Lana's
mother, Mrs. Mildred Turner,
where the star's 1-J-year-old
daughter, Cheryl, is living.
Giesler told Police Chief
Clinton H. Anderson he re
ceived three calls during the
week, two from women and
one from a man, all threaten
ing to "get" him and Lana for
the slaying of John Stompan
ato by Lana's daughter.
"We are sending people out
from the East to take care of
Lana," the man warned Gies
ler.
"And they'll take care of
you too."
The women told Giesler he
would be killed because he
represented "the people who

Cheryl plunged a carving
knife into Stompanto the
handsome lover of her moth
er and former bodyguard of
ex-convict Mickey Cohen
as he and Lana argued in her
boudoir April 4. The slaying
was later ruled "justifiable
homicide" and Cheryl was re
leased Thursday and given in
temporary custody to Mrs
Mildred Turner, her grand
mother, under court orders.
Officers indicated the tele
phone calls might have been
a prank but that they were
"taking no chances. '
