In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, it seems
probable that the Big Four foreign
ministers meeting at Geneva will
end in a stalemate, with nothing
accomplished In the way of. bet
ter relations between the commu
nist East and the free "West.
Throughout the sessions, Russia
has stood stubbornly pat on the
status quo which amounts to an
armed truce.
It doesn't sound very encourag
ing. ; l
But
Let's not Jump to the conclusion
that the conference was a ghastly
failure and that the future of the
world Is utterly black:
This must be kept In mind:
Geneva was a negotiating ses
sion. . , ',
; This is the normal pattern of
normal negotiation:
1 You try out a proposition on the
other side. If it isn't acceptable,
you don't reach for a gun and
,fHart shooting- You keep putting
' ''out test proposals until you arrive
at an idea of what the other side
might really be willing to do.
Meanwhile; the other side has
ben working on you according to
the same pattern. It has been siz
ing you up and deciding what von
might be willing to' do in a given
set of circumstances.
-That is about what has been
going, on at Geneva.
The thing we must not lose
sight of is that one negotiating
session CAN be - followed . by an
other. Negotiating is FAR cheap
erin human life and human wel
farethan shooting.
Successful negotiating requires
IMMENSE patience. But If the ob
.. jective. of the negotiations is- an
agreement that .offers attractive
benefits to both sides it is quite
often possible to make a deal that
will be workable.
In this particular case, inimi
tably vas( benefits can accrue to
both sides if a way can eventually
be .-.found to avoid shooting war.
Another world war which would
Inevitably i n v o 1 V the use of
atomic weapons could mean the
end of the world.
Dulles Plans
TV Speech
GETTYSBURG, Pa. Wl The
White House announced Wednes
day it has requested radio and tele
vision time for Secretary of State
Dulles to report to the American
people on- the- Geneva-.conference
- nfter his talks here wltlr President
Eisenhower Thursday and Friday.
James C. Hagerty, press secre
tary, said he expects Dulles to de
liver his report on the new dead
lock between East -and West on
Friday night from Washington.
The announcement 1 came
President Eisenhower, kept indoors
by cold and rain, dictated letters
and read at-hls -country home
Because of the weather, the
President dropped plans to open
up shop in his new downtown Get
tysburg office Wednesday.
The bad weather also cancelled
plans for Secretary of Commerce
Weeks to fly here for a conference
with Eisenhower. Weeks will come
Thursday instead. ,; . '
Thursday shapes up as the busi
est day for the President, in terms
of official business, since his Sept.
24 heart attack.
Besides conferring with Weeks
he will see Budget Director Row
land Hughes and take a personal
hand in charting the government's
spending course for the next fiscal
year. Then at 4 p.m. Dulles is due
in with a report on Geneva.
Tlie Chief Executive's growing
work schedule probably will take
him to meetings ot the Cabinet and
the National Security Council next
week.
Acheson Raps;
ioyalty Plan
WASHINGTON 1.1 A new attack
on the government's loyalty-secur
ity program came Wednesday
Irom former Secretary of State
Dean Acheson,, who charged the
Eisenhower ' administration has
magnified a "grave mistake" of
President Truman into Moscow
like purge tactics. . -
Aclicson, a close friend of th-;
former president, says In a new
book "A Democrat Looks at His
Party" (Harper ti Bros. S3) that
Truman intended his 1947 order
setting up the security projram to
be carried out "with fairness and
restraint" .but that the opposite
has happened.
"It warpmg effect." Acheson
declared, "has gravely affected the
liberty of the individual In and out
ol government to think and speak
us he pleases and to live and work
in the creative atmosphere of free
dom and erespect."
Acheson says the Elsenhower ad
ministration has sought in many
Instances to impose "'bought con
trol" on federal workers and he
fays the attitude of Atty. Gen.
Brownell "is unhappily typical of
the authoritarian mind."

Wednesday for a specific list ol

At the same time, the Stale Dc

of disputes between Israel and
Arab countries.
The American view was made
known by the department within
minutes after Israel's Ambassador
Abba Eban delivered a formal note
urgently requesting American
weapons.
The Israeli envoy , told reporters
he asked for cut-rate prices, 11 pos

Adlai Says
Ike's Health
Not An Issue
CHICAGO KTI Adlal Stevenson
said Wednesday it would be fool
ish to say the people would not
take Into account the survival
chances of a presidential candi
date, but he will not make healtli
an Issue In his campaign for the
1956 Democratic nomination.
Announcing that he will enter
the March 20 Minnesota president
ial primary, Stevenson answered
a wide range of questions at a big
, news conference. '
One of these questions con-
I cerned the health of President El-
1 arnhnn,A anrt nf C A I, T tmHnn X
Johnson of Texas, the Senate Dem
ocratic leader. Both men suffered
heart attacks in recent months.
Stevenson said he hopes and
prays Johnson's "misfortune' In no
way limits his future activites or
his. usefulness."
"And the same goes for anyone
else, specifically the President of
the United States." Stevenson de
clared. The former Illinois governor who
was defeated for the presidency In
1952. said he could not speculate
on the possibilities that Elsenhow
er again will be the Republican
candidate.
Sen. Johnson . has been repre
sented as working for a wide
open Democratic nomination con
vention, a circumstance that has
convinced some of. Stevenson's
friends that the Texas senator may
not be In Stevenson's corner at
that ' convention. Johnson la con
sidered In some quarters as a pos
sible candidate for the nomination.
Stevenson said doctors told him
after a recent semi-annual medical
examination "that for one of my
age I fas in better than normal
condition" addlni -with a grin:
"I have no excuses from now on."
; As expected. Stevenson an

He said that was the only firm

To Reach
Agreement
GENEVA Mt The Big Four
foreign ministers conference ended
Wednesday with Russia and the
Western powers more deeply divi
ded than ever over the great vital
problems of German reunification."
and European security.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov,
chairman of Ihe final session.,
brought the conference to a close'
at about 6:40 p.m.
In almost 60 hours of debate over
three weeks, the Big Four had
failed to make substantial progress
on a single major issue before
them. The Western ministers
blamed an unexpected hardening
of Soviet policy for the breakdown.
Molotov blamed the West.
The four had begun their talks -Oct.
27 in the warm glow of hope
created by the "spirit of Geneva"
which flourished during and after"
the Big Four summit meeting here
in July.
WINTER
They ended In the bleak, cold of -an
alpine winter night without
agreement even on plans to meet
again. The possibility of another '
conference was left up to future
negotiations through diplomatic
channels. 1 , , .
U, 8. Secretary of State Dulles
planned to be the first of the four
to leave Geneva. He ordered his -plane
made ready for an overnight -flight
to Washington.
The final meeting was devoted to
a round of summary speeches, aft
er the ministers had agreed on a '
terse communique, which merely 1
confirmed their lack of agreement
and said that each would report to
his chief. !-..- v .
In the final statements:
Dulles accused Soviet Premier
Bulganin of having apparently sent
Molotov here with orders not to
negotiate seriously . on German
unity. He said the Soviets seemed
to be afraid free elections In Ger
many would threaten their hold on
Eastern Europe. He promised the
United states would continue to.,
work for peace. i
British Foreign Secretary Mac-
MUlan said -the Soviets had ap
proached the whole German prob
lem from the "wrong and wicked
principle" that people should not
have freedom to choose their own.
destiny through free elections.
- French Foreign Minister Plnay
said Soviet policy was aimed at
dissolving the North. Atlantic Al
liance and solidifying the division
of Germany. An Indefinite division '
of Oerrrtany,-he aald', will lead pre'
cisefy to what the Sovfets say they
most fear " rebirth of German -nationalism
and militarism.'! ;
Dulles, who is to report to President-
Eisenhower .Thursday, said
the President has "closely followed
this conference on. a day to day '
basis.
ANALYSIS
Elsenhower," he went on, "will
evaluate its results against the
background of his vast knowledge
and abhorrence of war and hi-.
dedication to the cause of a Just
and durable peace."
Dulles said he thought that the
Geneva meeting had not been
wholly barren." And he expressed
hope for better results In the fu
ture, saying that after long year
In International diplomacy he is
not "easily discouraged. '
The government and people nf
the United States," Dulles told -
Molotov, "want to develop better
relations with the Soviet nation.
'Our hope for the future derive
from our belief that the Soviet gov- -ernment
will sooner or later come
to Bee that the advantage to lt in
belter relation with the Western -power
I far better than local and
passing advantages which It could
gain at the price of forfeiting the
good relations which at the Summit '
conference the Soviet rulers
seemed to want." -
The West, In the closing hours, -
turned down flatly a statement by "
Molotov which he had proposed on
European security.
The Molotov statement set forth
those provisions for a European '
security pact which both sides had
agreed were desirable. But it omit- .
ted mention of the unification of
Oermany which the West considers
of first Importance to security.
