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.

Fund Dissipation Feared If New Recession Comes
WASHINGTON 'API - Offi
cials fear that if another recession
c'evelops in the next few years
ilic jobless aid funds of more than
a dozen states will rapidly go
bankrupt and be unable to pay
idle benefits.
The reason: Reserves in all the
states were nicked hard in the
1938 recession and many aren't
being replenished very last.

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

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.
