The chronology clearly proves that a radical change of approach occurred. The dates, so to say, speak for themselves as follows: ... fX May 1, the U-2 that is " the alleged sole cause of the final explosion came down near Sverdlovsk. On May 3, 48 hours after the fall of the U-2, critically important concessioins were offered to the Western nego tiators at Geneva by Semyon Tsarapkin, the Soviet repre sentative at the conference dealing with a ban on nuclear tests. j On May 3 or 4. the chief of the Soviet Air Force, Marshal Konstantin Vershinin, also confirmed his intention to visit the United States. On May 5, Khrushchev made his first revelation of the fall of the U-2. In this speech, he carefully Inserted what amounted to a scries of escape clauses for the Ameri can government.

Vershinin's behavior; the important move made by Tsarapkin: the escape clauses offered to Eisenhower by Khrushchev himself all con stitute very strong evidence. This evidence, pointing to a continuing intention to nego tiate at the summit, first of all casts doubt on the theory that Khrushchev had already changed his mind about a sub mit meeting's usefulness at all. The speech on Berlin by Under Secretary of State- C. Douglas Dillon, and all the other indications that the West was not in a "giving" mood, dated from long before May 5. They undoubtedly provoked Khrushchev's threatening speech at Baku, that speech said Khrushchev would talk tough at the sum mit. But he certainly con tinued to want to talk. Turning again to the post May 5 chronology, the most conspicuous developments of this period were the series of statements in Washington which knocked all of Khru shchev's offered escape claus es into the next county.

M.y 20, 1960 A In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Rig Oi(;t irm J Why "did Mr. K do what he did at Paris? 1WE impression prevails .nlu that V.a im l.oirinr i troubles of his own at home. I The London Daily Express ! puts it this way: I "The most likely explana tion is that Khrushchev's pow er in Russia is waning stead ily." WILLI " the HLLIAM L. RYAN, one of A.P.'s top foreign news analysts, puts the same thought in greater detail. He says in a dispatch from Paris: "Nikita Khrushchev's per formance at the summit meet ing that failed to get off the ground indicates he is en gaged in a struggle to main tain his claims to lead world communism. "Unless he got an apology from the President of the United States, he insisted, he COULDN'T NEGOTIATE with the U.S. President. This, he added in an aside, was a matter involving the INTER NAL POLITICS of the Soviet Union." THAT is to say: He sounded like he was apologizing for having to do something he didn't want to do but HAD TO DO to save his own skin. f R. RYAN goes on: HI "The implication is that Khrushchev is engaged in a threesided struggle with (1) the Stalinists, (2) the Russian military and (3) the Chinese communists, who have been nagging him for what appear to them to be RECKLESS AD VENTURES in peace mak ing." Ryan adds in his dispatch: "The Soviet boss (Mr. K) has been required to kick overboard all he has built with great care over the past three years. Apparently, in the Stalinist and Red Chinese view, his peace gestures went '. much too far and threatened I communism as a constantly moving, dynamic force." ; IMPORTANT domestic news: Four top Democrats Speaker of the House Ray i burn, Democratic leader of the Senate Lyndon Johnson, Adlai E. Stevenson, Democrat ic Presidential Nominee in 1952 and 1956, and Senator William Fulbright, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee back President Eisenhower's stand at Paris. In doing so, they follow an for the U-2 overflight. And it was even officially intimated that overflights were a good thing which ought to be con tinued. In sum, Washington fol lowed the rules long ago laid down by the President's Press Secretary, James Hagcrty, that the useful reply, "no comment," is no longer per missible, and that the Presi dent can never be portrayed as Ignorant of any doings in the government. It seems pretty clear that Washing ton's rigid adherence to the Hagerty rules, laid down for domestic political reasons, in turn put Khrushchev in a do mestic political situation re quiring an explosion that has now occurred. IT IS obviously wrong to think about Khrushchev's domestic political situation in terms of an "opposition" and an "administration part y." But every government in the world is divided into the orthodox and the imaginative the cautious and the bold, the conservative and the experi mental groups. Pretty plain ly, the orthodox, cautious, and conservative men in the Kremlin, no doubt with the somewhat discontented army chiefs in the lead, were sharply insisting that an is sue must be made of the U-2 overflight, as soon as proof of the overflight was in the Kremlin's hands. The issue was made, but wth escape clauses. One can imagine the clamor, the "we told you so" 's, the parade of indignation of this orthodox group when Washington dealt as it did deal with all the escape clauses which Khrushchev had offered. Quite possibly, Khrushchev himself felt unable to defy the Kremlin consensus. More probably, he did not wish to do so. The Baku speech had clearly indicated that there would be hot arguments at te summit. The new Kremlin consensus called for no sum mit at all. The new decision of the Presidium was tele graphed ahead, though few understood the message, by Marshal Vershinin's sudden abandonment of his Ameri can visit. And Khrushchev came to Paris with a prepared brief drafted with the sped , fic purpose of blowing the summit conference higher than a kite before it began, (c) I960 Ntw York Herald Tribune Inc. Today fir Tomorrow y Woltar riRST OF ALL Amid the wreckage. I and as we recover from the shock, the long work of rebuilding will have to begin. Where must it begin? It must begin at the point w h e r the most critical damage has been done. Where is tl.t nninl1) It Walter .' , " Unprnann is not in what Mr. Khrushchev said or did to us. It is in what we did to ourselves. It is that we "first did help to wound our selves." The wound has been made by the scries of blunders on the gravest matters in the highest quarters. These blun ders have not only angered the Russians and wrecked the summit conference but, much worse than all that, they have cast doubt among our allies and among our own people on our compe tence to lead the Western alliance on the issues of peace and war. Mr. Khrushchev's harsh and intemperate language has pro duced a reaction and evoked sympathy for the plight of the President. But we must have no illusions about the depth and the extent of the loss of confidence in American lead ership, in the judgment, sa gacity, and political compe tence of the government in Washington. HpHIS is the damage to which - we must address ourselves. We are a free people, and one of the blessings of a free society is that, unlike an un- free society, it provides a way to deal with error and cor rect mistakes. This is to in vestigate, to criticize, to de bate, and then to demonstrate to the people and to the world that the lessons of the fiasco have been learned and will be applied. In a situation like ours the damage to our prestige would be irreparable if we all ral lied around the President and pretended to think that there was nothing seriously wrong. For that would prove to the world that the blunders will not be corrected but will be continued, and that our whole people are satisfied with bad government. It is the dissenters and the critics and the opposition who can restore the world's respect for American compe tence. We cannot do this by pretending that the Incompe tence does not exist. THESE are hard words. But in what other words shall ancient and very sound prin ciple: THERE CAN BE NO POLI TICS IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS. IMPORTANT foreign news: President Eisenhower, after widespread criticism for the handling of the spy plane incident, came out of the Paris debacle with EN HANCED PRESTIGE! The London Daily Express, often a critic of American foreign policy, says today: "Ike has behaved with splendid dignity." IN OTHER words: Instead of splitting the Western Alliance, as he of course hoped to do, Mr. K welded it together more tightly. ONE more question: Will Russia start nucle ar war? The likely answer: Not as long as it remains probable that if she docs bombers from our worldwide ring of bases will DESTROY RUSSIA. I Crater Television CENTRAL j 40S ' "i 13 Yean j !

Niona SP 2-2243 lippmann we describe the performance on Sunday nieht when the Secretary of Defense, who is in Paris as one of the Presi dent's advisors, ordered a worldwide alert of American combat forces? On Sunday night Mr. Macmillan and Gen. de Gaulle were still struggling lu find some way out of the affair of the spy plane. Yet this was the time chosen by the Secretary of Defense to "stage a world wide readiness exercise' which, though not the last strgc before actual war, is one of the preliminary stages to it. Why Sunday of all days? This blunder was not the work of some forgotten Colo nel on a Turkish air field. This was the work of the Sec retary of Defense and of the President. The timing of the "exercise" was just a shade worse than sending off the U-2 on its perilous mission two weeks before the sum mit. The timing of the so-called exercise makes no sense whatever. For if the alert was concerned with a possible surprise attack, when in the name of common sense could there be less danger of a sur prise attack on the Western world than when Mr. K. in person was in Paris? Unhappily, too. Secretary Gate's "exercise" was just about as incompetently ad ministered at the top as was the affair of the spy plane. This time, it appears, the top people forgot to say anything about the "exercise" to their press oriicvrs who did not know what to say, and were not even in their offices, when the public was being frightened by the "exercise." . great government faced with a most formidable adversary, itself the leader, champion, and mainstay of the non-Communist world. cannot be conducted in such a feckless and haphazard way. That is the damage that first must be repaired before we can begin to deal with the general international wreckage, and to regain our confidence in ourselves. Copyright 1960.
