diplomatic view, it means a

t ((The U. S. claims the RB47
as shot down over the Bar
ants Sea last July).
While the concern in the
United States over the slow
pace of the RB47 case is un
derstandable, diplomats 1 n
Moscow feel that often the
only way to get anything from
the Soviets is to match them
at their own game of patience
and firmness.
There is considerable diplo
matic opinion in Moscow that
little by little the Soviets are
trying to move toward some
face-saving solution to the
RB47 case.
This opinion holds that
Washington's job is not pub
licly to keep the Kremlin
leaders in a corner on the
question, but discreetly to find
out how far the Soviets are
willing to go and for what
price.
It was recalled, for instance,
that Khrushchev, who had
banked much of his foreign
policy on an attempt to pro
mote a personal friendship
with ex-President Eisenhow
er, kept the door open after
the U2 incident for Eisenhow
er to disclaim responsibility.
In the diplomatic shambles
that followed Elsenhower's ac
ceptance of such responsibil
ity, Khrushchev often made
the point that for reasons of
prestige as leader of a mighty
state, he could not meet the
President without an apology,
Khrushchev's offer to bury
the U2 incident as far as Pres
ident John F. Kennedy and
the United Nations are con

Of course he, like so many

seemed to know she had a
problem child, an eager
beaver, a young one without
judgment but with a firm de
termination. Because he seemed so ad
vanced, and so Impatient, she
decided to start his training.
One night when the moon was
full she permitted him to
leave the nest. He crawled
out on a nearby limb. His
great, soft brown eyes sur
veyed the moonlighted forest.
Mother launched herself on a
downward slant, just to show
him how it was done. She
scampered back to his side.
He thought he as ready. He
had the idea he could step off,
spread his legs and sail grace
fully through the air to the
base of a nearby tree; climb it,
and again launch himself,
thereby traveling across the
forest. He could foresee no
problem at all.

have known that folks like

It's the only way he'll ever

and gave the little guy the
signal to "take off."
Sickening Sideslip
He confidently leaped off
the limb; set his legs in what
he thought was a graceful
position. Inside of five feet
he was In trouble. He lost his
balance, and began a sicken
ing sideslip. Attempting to
right himself, he missed a
large tree limb by Inches.
Suddenly he realized he was
going too fust, and at too sleep
a slant. In fact he was com
pletely out of control. He
crashed headlong into a tree -
not the one he was aiming for.
Stunned and bruised, with
his breath knocked from him,
he lay in a crumbled heap on
the forest floor. By the time
he regained his breath Mother
was beside him. Slowly she
climbed the home tree, junior
painfully followed her.
Sheepishly, the little guy
crawled back Into the round
opening in the tree trunk.

costing the Soviets little polit
ically despite its importance
as a gesture of willingness to
Improve relations with the
new President.
The earlier Soviet demand
for an apology regarding the
U2 was clearly aimed at
Eisenhower.
It would be asking for the
moon and out of character for
the Kremlin's current "we
want to be friends with Ken
nedy" policy to insist that the
new President humble him
self for actions of the preced
ing administration.
Also the U2 propaganda
value already has been milked
for just about all it is worth.
It is doubtful if the Soviets
figure they have much to gain
by a future rehashing of the
issue. And by now it is a stale
affair in the United Nations.

still held incommunicado here

officials yet permitted.
In Cold Storage
Diplomats here estimated
that as far as any concrete de
cision goes, the case simply is
In cold storage until Kennedy
takes over.
Khrushchev's g e st u r e to
bury the U2 incident was in
terpreted by westerners here
as a preliminary Kremlin ma
neuver, with wider implica
tions than the RB47 case
alone.
For one thing, it clears from
the Soviet side one technical
hurdle to a possible meeting
with Kennedy at which the
whole range of East-West
problems could be discunssed
Eisenhower refused a meet
ing with Khrushchev before
the release of the RB47 pilots.
Kennedy so far is uncom
mitted, but it is not excluded
that the Soviets would use the
RB47 pilots as a bargaining
tool for the attainment of such
an encounter.
Due to the disputed facts of
the shooting down of the
bomber, the Soviets might ac
tually gain more by releasing
the men for some suitable
counter-concession than by
bringing them to trial.
But the men are too valu
able as a' diplomatic chess
piece to throw away for noth
ing or as a gesture unless the
Kremlin knows exactly what
it could expect in return.

effete MK's Friend Manhandled
By M-BR-RMAN SMITH
Wl White House Reporter
Washington -(UPD- Backstairs
at the White House:
Leaving the Inaugural ball
at the district armory the oth
er after-midnight, President
Kennedy spotted a friend In
the crowd, waved to him and
motioned the man to come to
the side of his White House
limousine.
The man moved at the pres-
Idents behest, only to be
leaped upon by four burly
metropolitan policemen who
gave the President's friend a
brief but spirited pushing
around before Kennedy called
out of the limousine window.
Almost as though they had
been cheated, the police slow
ly released the man who then
talked with Kennedy for four
or five minutes. As the Pres
ident drove away, he called to
the man, "I want you to come
see me." The friend quickly
disappeared in the crowd and
his name thus was lost to his
tory. .
The above incident is rather
unimportant by itself, but it
does point up an interesting
situation with the new Pres
ident. First, he is a most in
formal man. Secondly, he has
worked around Washington
for 14 years and naturally has
a number of friends here.
The police would be well-advised-and
this goes for the
White House police and the
Secret Service, too-to take it
easy until they can learn
something about the Presi
dent's large circle of friends
and acquaintances.
Kennedy has an aversion to
seeing anyone roughed up be
cause of his presence. This
was distinctly true during the
campaign. He notices things
like this.
And one additional bit of
unsolicited advice to those as
signed to the protection of the
new President: Fellows, you'll
simply have to do your job
and take it easy, too. A hard
order, to be sure, but if you
want to avoid complications,
always remember: This man
likes to talk with people. He
intends to keep doing it and
you're buying trouble if you
think he can be bent to your
concepts of security and iso
lated in the manner of former
President Eisenhower when
he was in public.
It was 3 a.m. the dawning
after Inauguration and the
President still was at the
Georgetown home of column
ist Joseph Alsop, reliving the
exciting day with such old
friends as Earl E. T. Smith,
the former Ambassador to
Cuba, and his wife, actress
Florence Pritchard, and Mrs.
John Fell and her family from
Palm Beach.
Mrs. Fell, incidentally, is
one of the more amazing
grandmothers of our time.
She's probably in her late 40s
or early 50s and has the stat
uesque looks of a starlet. Ter
rific golfer, too. v
The narrow street outside
Alsop's DumbartonPlace home
was choked with White House,
Secret Service, police jnd
press association automobiles.
Down the snowy street
tramped an obviously irate
man who trumpeted to police
that he was "an owner," ap
parently of a nearby house.
Choking with rage, he re
ported that on the average of
every week or two he received
a parking ticket on his car
right in front of his own home
and here before his eyes was
a veritable fleet of cars in vio
lation of every known regula
tion. "What," 'he shouted, "Is go
ing on around here?"

Cost of Hospital
Care Has Dropped
Salt Lake City - lUPIl-Tha
president of the American
Pharmaceutical A s s o elation
says the cost of a stay in the
hospital is less than it was in
1940.
Ronald Robertson, Spokane,
Wash., says that's because new
drugs have shortended periods
of hospitalization or even
make it unnecessary.
An example, Robertson,
points out, is pneumonia cases.

automatic two-week confine
ment in a hospital. Now many
cases are cared for in the)
home.
