(UPI Telephoto) Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop COUNTING OUR LOSSES jlew York - It is a sobering pectaele, this United Nations General Assembly session. It looks like an internationa 1 200, but it al so speaks vol umes about what has hap pened to the American and Western posi tion In the world in the joepii also? past seven- ang-a-half years. iosef V. Stalin died only a couple of months after Presi dent Eisenhower took office. But Stalin, whose method was tetror, had terrified the whole world and was on speaking tepns with almost no one. So it is perhaps more revealing toCchoose a somewhat later dae - February 8, 1955, for example, when the installation ofjthe new brightly smiling leaning team of Nikolai Bul ganin and Nikita S. Khrush chev brought Khrushchev to hist first pinnacle of supreme poyer. On that date, if you care to thflik back, Khrushchev might haye joined his own United Nations delegation in New Ycik if he chose. And he might also have secured the companionship of ..Poland's sinister Beirut, Hungary's slimy and blood-stained Rako-si.-pnd the other satellite boss es -of the period. TyT Khrushchev could have Jj. done hand-stands, offered free Aswan dams, sent diplo matic task forces, and prom ised special tours to the other side of the moon without bringing to the U. N. a single national leader of any conse quence from any country be yond the military borders of thfl Soviet empire. With many hriVies and much flattery he might just possibly have per suaded the bemusea ookhimu to'tome along from Indonesia; tint even this inconsequential su&ess would have been un likely. "today, in contrast, on Am erica's doorstep, so to say, Khrushchev is able to give his ran Dartv. ana 10 give 11 Bgiinst the will of the State Department ana me rresiuem t fho united States. Further more, this is not the sort of 0iv lhat smarty gave. Ev- nrunne is coming, including cvdn President' Eisenhower; and everyone is coming pre cisely because American and Western influence has declin-ed-and Soviet influence has intruded in Just about every strategically significant area of'the globe. " , VTOT ALL the members. of IN" the zoo-like assemblage of hfrfs of state ana national i.ico. have followed Khru shchev to the U. N. by his rf(.rt Invitation.

Nasser in turn persuaded Yugoslavia's Tito, and Tito and Nasser to gether persuaded Jawaharlal Nehru. In the case of Cuba's Fidel Castro, of course, the merest telephone call sufficed. The same held true for Guinea's Sekou Toure. who has taken far more undisguised pro- Communist line than Castro in the heart of Africa. Ghana's Nkrumah is reported to have decided to join the party, partly for the party itself, partly to please Khrushchev, and partly because of the ex amples set by others. Several more of the national leaders here assembled are in the Nkrumah category. There are simple : reasons why Khrushchev has thus been able to organize his own party of chiefs of stale and heads of government on Am erica's doorstep, despite the American government's best efforts to turn it into the kind of party smarty gave. In South America, to begin with, there is not only Castro; there are at least six oilier national situations which may explode at any moment into Castro like governments. - N SOUTHEAST Asia, again, the tiny, obscure, but geo graphically crucial nation of Laos has just been flagrantly invaded, for the second time, by Laotian Communist and Vietnamese units trained and organized by Khrushcnevs satellites in North Vietnam. This obscure invasion in jun gle territory, which tailed when it was tried a year ago, may well succeed this time because of internal divisions in Laos. If it succeeds, Cam bodia and South Vietnam will be next on the list. In Africa, yet again, the Soviet agent, Patrice, Lumum ba, has suffered a setback, and the massive Communist beachhead in the Congo has been at least temporarily, liq uidated. But in that chaotic and unhappy country, another turn of the wheel is likely at any time. Meanwhile, it is just as important to note that the two most outstanding Af rica leaders, the Arab chief, Nasser of Egypt, and the big gest single Negro figure, Nkrumah of Ghana, vigorous ly supported the Soviet agent, Lumumba, at least until the recent Congo coup d'etat. With the sole exception of Australia-New Zealand, there is not a single area on the face of the globe where the decline of American influence and the rise of Soviet influence 1 cannot be clearly observed. Even in Western Europe, the Soviets have openly begun to attack the freedom of West Berlin by carefully calculated salami tactics. The aim is clear. This country has no more sacred trust. Yet the! American and Western re sponse to the attack on Berlin has thus far been feeble and indecisive. , If anyone doubts the reality of the decline we have expe rienced, let him look at the world, and then look at this U. N. session. (c) 1960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. O OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY 'TIL 9 P.M. Dump Trucks Crush Washington Man Walla Walla - IUPD - Oscar D. Smith, 46, Walla Walla, was killed instantly Wednes day when he was crushed be tween two dump trucks on a highway project along the Washington-Oregon border.
