THE PROPAGANDA BATTLE AT GENEVA
(An analynis of the big news development of
the day by l nited I'ress)
The Geneva conference is a Viattle of
propaganda as well a> a contest in states-
manship.
And both sides are scoring far better in
public relations than in diplomacy.
Historians are inclined to look down
their noses at headline-hunting statesmen.
That f because so many of them have been
shallow demagogues and potential dictators.
But in our age of Mass communications,
statesmen must contend for propaganda ad-
vantage as well as diplomatic advantage.
The main reason the Russians brought
Marshal Khukov {■ Geneva was for the effect
cn public relations. The marshal really has
little to do with Soviet policy making. But
his high reputation and his past friendship
for President F.i>enhower made it a propa-
ganda “natural” tor the Reds to bring the
two together a* Geneva to discuss peace.
Mr Kisenhower was quick to take ad-
vantage of this by making a dramatic per-

sonal appeal to Zhukov in a plenary session
of the conference.
In fact, the President, who i- not a con-
spicuously good phrase-maker, has shown
his usual flair for good public relations at
Geneva. He even coined one good phrase by
asking for a “Bridge of Peace.”
He tied up traffic in Geneva by walking
on the spur of the moment into a shop to buy-
toys for his grandchildren.
On the opening day, Soviet Premier Bul-
ganin took advantage of his position as the
last speaker to grab the headlines by offering
a two-stage security program. Ike fielded
that one by giving noticeably enthusiastic
cheers for Bulganin.
The President showed how to counter
criticism too. When t .e:v were whispers

Geneva-Go-Round
After 'his conference ends, the
psychiatrists of the world will hold
i meeting here. Geneva will need
• heir. ... Nikita Khrushchev's of-
ficial Soviet biography say- he be-
gan life as a shepherd In Geneva
he shepherded three top Russian
delegates into a swank villa on the
lake and a large coterie of Russian
experts into the Austere Hotel Me-
tropoie—with 'he help of several
dozen Austere bodyguards bulging
around the middle .... The Rus-
sians brought their own Limousines
to Geneva-—well-built job.- looking
somewhat like J Edgar Hoover's car
with bulletproof windows . . . The
Russians immediately got wise,
however, to tour Geneva in an open
car with no bodyguards save Swiss
motorcycle cops. Khrushchev made
a smiling con'rast to the stern-faced
Secretary Dulles when we drove up,
doffing his hat to the press at. the
opening session. Ike smiled cheer-
fully, but members of the European
press commented on the eight body-
guards around him in contrast to no
guards around Bulganin and
Khrushchev .... Unfortunately
Dulles has a paralyzed lower lip
which won’t permit him to smile no
matter how rosy the diplomatic
horizon . . . The Swiss, a sophisti-
cated people, take international con-
ferences in their stride: they have

conference . . . Even so. they are
polite Photographers were given this
invitation to submit 'heir cameras
to the police to see if any sawed-
off machine guns were inside: " All
cameramen wishing to take pictures
at the Palace des N.vions are in-
vited to present their cameras to
the police control." . . . Evangelist
Billy Graham opened in Geneva
on a day before 'he conference began
with a prayer for the success of the
Big Four's negotiations.
Pope-Eisenhower Meeting Nixed
President Eisenhower has aban-
doned the idea of a dramatic meet-
ing with Pope Pius at his summer
residence at Cast el Gandolfo near
Rome.
Eisenhower advisers had discussed
‘he idea as a move to dramatize
America's all-out search for an end
to the cold war. and Eisenhower,
though not anxious to prolong his
visit in Europe, was willing to go.
However, Secretary Dulles has
poured cold water on 'he idea. He
pointed out that if Eisenhower went
to Rome he would of necessity be
forced to call on new Italian Premier
Seam. And Dulles doesn't want to
boost Segni's prestige.
Dulles is still wedded to ex-Pre-
mier Scelba and feels that the new
premier’s government is a bit, too
much left of renter.
Swiss Neutral, But Prepared
If there were a general mobiliza-
tion in Europe tomorrow, the larg-
est force ready iur immediate ac-
tion-for the first 36 hours—would
be the Swiss . Every ablebodi-
ed male between the ages of 13 and
45 is a reservist and puts in three
weeks per year in the field.
Every man has his rifle and equip-
ment ready at all times and military
inspectors are empowered to enter
his home to see if his rifle is kept
cleaned, oiled, and loaded . . Cer-
tain mountains have hollowed-out
sections stocked with food and mu-
nitions and all strategic roads are
protected by trap-, mines and ar-
tillery .... This country is neutral
all right- and bristling with a de-
termination to stay neutral
The Swiss don't like to be reminded,
but the original reason for their
neutrality was to export their mer-
cenaries to the rest of the world.
Bohlrn in Driver's Seat
Ambassador "Chip" Bohlen, the
man Joe McCarthy bitterly tried to
defeat as It. S. ambassador to Rus-
sia. is in the driver’s seat at Geneva.
He occupies much the same position
he did at Yalta as an adviser and
interpreter, except on Russian af-
fairs. Elsenhower can't get along
without him any more than Roose-
velt and Acheson could .... Boh-
lcn's advice generally is good. He’s
not as optimistic about Geneva re-
sult., as Dulles is. but is more so
than the U. S. military. Bohlen is
the adviser who cautions not, to say
that the Russians are playing from
weakness instead of strength, as
Dulles told the Senate relations
committee last month. This Just
makes 'em sore, says Bohlen. After
all,-they read the newspapers ....
This being a conference at the Sum-
mit. press relations are run not by
Dulles’ Assistant Secretary of 8tnte
Carl McCardle but by astute White
House Press Officer Jim Hagerty.
Hagerty. incidentally, docs not like
McCardle, and would have had him
fired long ago if he weren’t Dulles’
personal appointee. /

A law enforcement officer said the wrecked car now al
k.whiers Chevrolet should be wen by those younger drivers
who like to race and play chase and that it might cause them
to think twice before engaging in such dangerous practices.

A prominent business man who is a father ot a teen-
ager said he would like to see something done in the way of
providing more supervised recreation for youngsters.
While admiring the ingenuity of teenagers in parking
’.i group of cars around a place they call “the slab and turn-
all the car-radios on full blast to provide music for dancing,
he said such practices indicates that an inadequate program
>f recreation exists in the city.
Kids going to such an isolated location are in danger
from prowlers and need to be provided with safer places to
have fun.

Another fellow told us that after he heard a part of the
Community Choir perform at the Lions Club yesterday, he
could hardly wait to hear the whole group in concert next
month.
He lamented that he couldn’t carry a tune or he would
lie right up there with them. They looked like they were hav-
ing such a good time singing.

Now. we don’t know if this is true or not, but we heard
that <i city Mffieia! went out to serve notice at a residence
maintaining an outdoor toilet.
He knocked on the door and asked the old woman ans-
wering if that was her privy out in the back yard.
“Yes sir,” she answered, “You can use it.”
