A VISIT BY MR. K.T
There is a certain amount
of talk, which the President
has now encouraged, about in-
I v i t n g Mr.
Khrushchev to
come to Wash
ington. Some
who favor it
believe that
while the ex

thing to make Mr. K. under.
stand this country and its at
titude, it is one thing to
understand a distant and un
familiar land and another" to
realize what is it.
There is no substitute, they
feel, for seeing the sights and
hearing the voices one's self
and so to put Cesh and blood
where there were shadows
and abstractions. A personal
visit, they hold, is the only
way to make Mr. K. realize
the size and vitality of this
country, its determination not
to abandon West Berlin, and
its will to peace.
There are a few others,
more sophisticated in power
politics, who would like to
see an Eisenhower - Khrush
chev parley because they have
come to think that this is the
quickest and most likely way
to reach a tolerable compro
mise arrangement. The argu
ment here is that on the So
viet side only Mr. K. can or
will make exchanges of con
cessions that would seal a bar
gain, and that he is more like
ly to do this in a two-power
parley than in the more com
plicated summit talks. On the
Western side, the argument is
that negotiation is difficult
and clumsy between the So
viet Union acting alone and
the three powers who are four
powers because West Ger
many is consulted in every
stage and is virtually present.
Advocates of a two-power
parley, such as the "Econo
mist" in London, go so far as
to think of It "as an alterna
tive to the summit."
!
FROM the American point of
view there is amidst all the
subtlety and pitfalls of this
question one clear and cer
tain rule of conduct We can
not appoint ourselves " to ne
gotiate with Mr. K. on behalf
of the Western world, and
even an intimation on our part
that we were thinking of a
two-power parley as an alter
native to a summit meeting
would be resisted furiously in
Bonn and in Paris.
A visit by Mr. K. to Wash
ington has its -advantages and
its dangers. But if it takes
place, it s ho u 1 d follow, it
should not precede, a summit
meeting in which Gen. de
Gaulle is present personally
and Dr. Adenauer is present
by proxy. It is not certain
that anything substantial can
be accomplished at such a
summit meeting. But the
Western allies are committed
to the idea that this is the
right way to negotiate sub
stantial things and that is the
only way they can accept.
This right way is by four
power negotiation with West
Germany in fact though not
in form making it a five-pow-
Crews Extinguish
Eight-Acre Fires .
Two eight -acre grass and
brush fires in Jackson county
were being mopped up Satur
day morning by crews from
the state department of for
estry. One blaze was located
along Ded Indian rd. and the
other was along the Southern
Pacific railroad tracks south
of Ashland.
The Dead Indian rd. fire
was believed started from
sparks from motorized equip
ment backfiring, and the fire
along the railroad tracks was
believed started by a train.
er negotiation.
This method will have to be
tested out by us in good faith
at another summit meeting.
It requires, as the ''present
Geneva conference has been
demonstrating, that the four
Western powers must be
unanimous not only on the fi
nal results, if any. They must
also be unanimous in advance
on each of the moves during
the bargaining process. We
must adhere loyally to . this
procedure through another
summit meeting.
But it will be with the
knowledge that this is not the
only conceivable way to ne
gotiate with the Soviet Un
ion. It is quite conceivable
that we could negotiate direct
ly with the Soviet Union, con
sulting in advance, consult
ing whenever the negotiations
arrived at some tensive but
substantial p o i n t of agree
ment, and, of course, making
no final agreement without
the consent of our principal
allies. There is more latent
sentiment in Europe for this
type of negotiation than now
appears on the surface.
THERE is, also, the problem
of an American visit by
Mr. K. My view is that it will
be imprudent until and unless
there is a decided improve
ment in the general atmos
phere. This improvement can
come only if there is a provi
sional agreement on West Ber-lin-an
agreement arrived at
by the Foreign Ministers or
at a summit meeting later on
in Europe. Mr. K. should not
come to Washington until
there has been eliminated the
threat of a blockade and the
risk of our having to resist
the blockade and to retaliate.
There does net have to be a
solution of the whole German
problem before Mr. K. comes
to this country. But he should
not come while West Berlin is
in such a dangerous position.
I do not mean to suggest
that an agreement on West
Berlin should be marked, as
the price of an invitation, or
that an invitation should be
treated as a reward for good
behavior. This approach is be
neath the dignity of both coun
tries. The reason for saying
that the visit should follow an
agreement on West Berlin is
that then only, will it have a
good chance of being useful to
both sides. Only when the
threat of war has been elimi
nated can we explore success
fully the chance of greater
cultural and economic inter
course. MOREOVER, as long as the
war clouds hang over
Berlin, this country could not
protect " Mr. K. completely
against unfriendly demonstra
tions. :
I found in Moscow that this
problem was not well under
stood. They find it hard to be
lieve that any government
cannot keep perfect order if it
wants to do so. The Soviet
with its police and its docile
population can control com-
Tips Given to Reduce
Accidents in Summer
Drivers will live longer if
they do not permit themselves
to be distracted by the scenery
as they travel this summer,
according to Medford Chief
of Police Charles P. Champ
lin. He pointed out that while
no one will ever know just
pletely the behavior of crowds
during a visit like that of Mr.
Nixon's. We could not do the
same for K. He has too many
passionate and organized ene
mies in this country, and
while they are minorities they
can make effective demonstra
tions if the great mass of our
people are themselves un
friendly. So let us begin to open the
door to a visit, and to pre
pare for it. But let us not rush
things. Let us prepare without
being hurried and with frank
explanation as we go along
explaining why and when and
how the visit, when it comes,
will do the most good and the
least harm. i

how many accidents are caus

driver should take a chance
on an accident by allowing

Window shopping and driv

While on the subject of
using your eyes in traffic, the
chief explained that night
driving presents a different
problem for drivers, one for
which they must compensate
if they are to-be safe.
This is especially important
when going from a brightly
lighted city to open country,
a time which vision authori
ties recommend reduced
speed.
Another safe-driving tip for
night driving passed on by
the chief is to relax eye mus
cles by looking about to pre
vent highway hypnosis.
Drivers can also reduce
night glare by looking to the
side of the road rather direct
ly at the source of glare.
