Ore Frirlav. .lannarv 2(1. 10RO PAGE 7 A The Spirit Of Camp David Remains Tattered Ghost, Too Weak, Discredited WASHINGTON (API-All that, remains of the spirit of Camp David now is a tattered ghost too weak and discredited to in fluence this year's Summit nego tiations. A few months ago 10 was re garded by many people as likely to be a hopeful year for a start on settling East-West issues. That idea was fostered by the talks between President Eisen hower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at Camp David last September. The evidence now is that the Western powers and the Soviet Union are heading into a period of strain and tension as they try to wring concessions from each other. Since the Western powers have trouble agreeing among them selves on when and how they should stand firm against Soviet pressures, the strain is sure to be much worse for them. The Eisenhower - Khrushchev meeting provided a peak of ami ability only a few months after Soviet threats against West Ber lin had created a serious danger of East-West conflict. The peak was quickly scaled, then quickly lost to sight. A whole scries of incidents has provided evidence that the forth coming East-West negotiations are more likely to be grim and dan gerous than to be relaxed and pro ductive of agreement. The latest came two days ago with a breakdown here in U.S. Soviet negotiations for a settle ment of the Soviet Union's 15- year-old lend-lease debt. . The renewal of talks on lend lease after a lapse of seven years was .agreed . on at Camp David There was much speculation on the U.S. side that the Soviets might now actually settle by com promise the old obligation of less than a billion dollars. A com promise settlement of about half a billion might have been possi ble. But Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Lithuanians Reunited In Chicaqo CHICAGO (AP) The Lconas family, reunited through the per sonal intervention of Soviet Pre- mier Nikita Khrushchev, today be gan making up for 16 lost years. "They feel strange but close to us," said Paulius Leonas of his two children, Regina, 20, and her brother, Tomas, 17, who arrived in Chicago Thursday from Soviet controlled Lithuania. It was the first time the children had seen their parents since 1944, when Leonas and his wife fled Lithuania in front of the advanc ing Soviet army. They had lived with their grandparents. There was little time for getting reacquainted Thursday night at the Lconas home, where scores of friends gathered to celebrate until nearly midnight. There were gifts for Tomas and Regina from friends and from strangers. "So many I couldn't count them," said the elated father. Lithuanian songs were sung with solemnity and vigor. Lithuanian delicacies were served. There were champagne toasts, speeches, telephone calls, telegrams, laugh ter, tears. And thanks were given to the atheist Khrushchev and to God. "I think it is only proper to say 'thank you' to Khrushchev," said Leonas. "He is the man who has made this possible. And my wife made a promise to the church. . ." "This is the most exciting day of my life," said Leonas. "There's been no such day since the world was created. My feelings can't be said in words. My heart is too small to hold them." "It was too good to believe,' he said. "Could this miracle hap pen?" It happened Thursday at Chi cago's Midway Airport, where some 200 persons cheered as Re gina and Tomas fell into their parents' arms. Menshikov demanded on the first day that the United States agree to remove trade restrictions on the Soviets as part of any lend lease deal. U.S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen said this was impossible. The two sides never changed from those positions and finally on Wednesday Bohlen broke off the talks, saying they served no further purpose. Though the issue was not vital. the lessons which diplomats may draw from it- are important. In the first place, through four sessions, Bohlen and McnsniKov never succeeded in bridging the negotiating gap between them They were always at cross pur poses. In the second place, by insist ing on an unacceptable condition the Soviets seemed to be express ing a tough attitude in the very first 1960 negotiation. Third, by breaking off the ne ;otiatioris Bohlen in effect told the Soviets that the United States was not impressed by their tough attitude. There are other pieces of evi dence which fit into the same pattern: 1. The only solid agreement made at Camp David was that which lifted the Soviet threat to West Berlin and committed Eisen hower to go to a summit confer ence if his allies would agree. On three occasions now Khrushchev has renewed the threat to Berlin in a December speech in Buda pest, in a January policy speech in Moscow and in a New Year's Eve talk with U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn ' Thompson. 2. The U.S.-British negotiations with the Soviets at Geneva for an enforceable prohibition on the testing of nuclear weapons have made no important progress for several months. The Soviet Union is still trying to negotiate the Western powers into accepting general ban without strong en forcement machinery. 3. In the United Nations ses sion at the end of last year Soviet spokesmen tried to force U.S. con cessions on various issues by charging this country with violat ing the "spirit of Camp David. Their behavior left no doubt that the Soviets considered this a tool to be used in propaganda harm ful to the United States. 4. The Soviet decision to set up a rocket range target area in the Central Pacific is one of the most dramatic and subtle moves the Soviets have made in missile dip- plomacy. Allen W. Dulles, Cen tral Intelligence Agency chief, said in a speech this week that Soviet rocket testing in the past has been conducted with the great est possible secrecy but now: "they wish to call attention to the strength of their sinews." At the time of Khrushchev s visit to the United States and the agreement to hold a summit con ference this year (set for Paris in May) two courses of negotia tion were open to the Soviets. They could seek to settle issues on their merits by mutual con cession and compromise, to bring a long term improvement in East West relations. Or they could seek to advance their own expansionist aims at the expense of the West ern powers. Under this latter possibility it would appear that a major Soviet aim in negotiations on disarma ment would be to weaken the Western powers. In the negotia tions on Berlin the main Soviet purpose evidently will be to break the Western hold on West Berlin and begin to tear down the West ern position there. Barring some change of Soviet behavior, there is little sign that the high hopes of a real relaxa tion of tension and real East-West settlements, which flourished in many countries at the time of Camp David, now have any justi fication whatever.

(M Missing; T Trace) Billboard To Be Razed TULSA, Okla (AP) - The Red Cross is hauling down a billboard advertisement here showing May or James Maxwell donating blood. It is captioned, "Maxwell Good to the Last Drop." Maxwell is a Democrat up for selection this spring. Republi cans cried pontics over the poster. Thursday to boost the Red Cross campaign for blood donors, Tulsa Republicans challenged Democrats to a blood giving con test. Democrats rolled up their sleeves ready for the challenge. The Red Cross is elated because its blood bank is short. Deadline for the contest is the April 5 election. Slates regarded as being in the worst fix for reserves include Michigan. Illinois, Ohio, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island, Maryland, West Virginia, Alaska, Delaware, Oregon. Tennessee, Connecticut-, New Jersey, Minnesota and Maine. If they ran out of money, the federal government undoubtedly would have to step in. The Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies cautioned last fall that a recession within two years "is likely to cause ritical fund shortages in one lilih to one fourth of the states villi presently low reserves." The conference added that many slates with low reserves have "an established practice of levying taxes at low average rates rela tive to their benefit costs." President Eisenhower called at tention to the problem in his Economic Message to Congress recently. He said the unemploy ment compensation funds of a number of states "would be in a precarious financial condition if another recession should occur in Ihe next few years, unless their finances are improved." The administration has been The domestic turkey is the only type of poultry that has descend ed from wild stocks native to the United States. urging (1) the states to rebuild their reserves, and i2 Congress to increase a federal emergency loan fund. This fund of about 200 million dollars has been nearly wiped out by loans to two states, Michigan and Pennsylvania. In addition, Eisenhower again proposed that the states increase benefit amounts. "In general," he said, "benefits have lagged be hind the rise in wages, and it is again recommended that the stales increase their benefits to nake Ihe great majority of cov ered workers eligible for pay ments equal to at least half their regular earnings." Benefits, varying widely be tween states, averaged about $30 weekly for idle workers in 1939. Under the Eisenhower formula the benefit average would in crease about a third, or to about S40 weekly. the Labor Deparlnirnl says only one state. Hawaii, meets the Eisenhower benefit standard. A number of states also lag behind his recommended 26-week dura tion of benelits for workers un employed that long. ; The program is financed by federal payroll tax on employers. This is nominally 3 per cent, but can be reduced according to the judgment of the individual states based on their benefit cost exper ience. As a result the national average payroll tax in 1959 was about 1.7 per cent of payrolls- The average cost of benefits for all Ihe slates in the five-year period 1934-1J38 was 1.9 per cent of payrolls. This compared with average, tax rate of 1.3 per cent of payrol's. 10 homes in Klamath County to display new roofing and insulated siding. PHONE TU 4-8866 THE FILL MEASURE RALEIGH, N. C.
