MOSCOW (UPD—The Krem

A major article in the
Communist party newspaper ,
Pravda did not identify the
fence sitters. But Romania and
Yugoslavia have balked at any
such conference.
Observers said the article,
written by political analylst
Vitaly Korionov and obviously
approved at a high party level, ,
was designed to build an

sensus at February's scheduled
“consultative” conference in
Budapest.
Some Communist sources,
however, said the Kremlin’s
“hard-sell” approach would
backfire and actually frighten
away some of the wavering
parties rather than win recruits
for its anti-Peking propaganda
campaign.
The article came little more
than a week after an 18-party
call for the Budapest meeting
which the Kremlin was believed
seeking to pave the way for the
world Communist summit.
“It would be unrealistic to
believe that the difficulties
which exist in the Communist
movement would vanish by
themselves . . Korionov
wrote. “Energetic and powerful
efforts by all fraternal parties
are needed to overcome these
difficulties.
“This Is what the 18 parties
call for and this call Is finding
wholehearted support every
where among all those who
actually, and not only with
words, seek the international
unity of the Communists.”

greeting cards since the appearance
of the earliest known holiday greet

the ancestor of our modern cards. Top

Christmas card, a quaint greeting de

Lighter Side
They Couldn’t Have
Done It With Tape
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPD-This
month, as someone may already
have pointed out, we are
commemorating the 25th an
niversary of atomic energy.
It was on Dec. 2, 1942, that a
group of scientists produced the
first controlled, self-sustaining
nuclear chain reaction.
That event, which took place
in a squash court beneath the
stands of Chicago’s Stagg Field,
has been duly celebrated in
song and story as “ushering in
the atomic age.”
Thus far, however, atomic
energy has not made the
deserts bloom or otherwise
benefited mankind to the extent
some of its creators envisioned.
And why is this so? Well, the
best explanation I have seen
came from Rep. Craig Hosmer,
R-Calif., a member of both
mankind and the joint Congres
sional Atomic Energy Commit
tee.
As he recently noted in the
Congressional Record, the same:
achievement which ushered in
the atomic age also ushered in
the age of atomic red tape.
In fact, Hosmer suggested
that if the late Enrico Fermi
and his associates had been
forced to operate under the
atomic energy program as it
now exists, they might have

Soooo. They Want
To Fight That Way
By MERRIMAN SMITH i
UPI White House Reporter <
WASHINGTON (UPD —Back- <
stairs at the White House:
Coming a week before Lynda
Johnson’s wedding, announce- j
ment of an Elsenhower-Nixon ,
betrothal fit right into the ,
politico-romantic mood of the ]
Washington season.
News that Julia Nixon, 18, ,
daughter of the Richard M. j
Nixons, was engaged to David .
Elsenhower, 19, grandson of the '
Dwight D. Eisenhowers, has ,
treated prominently across the ,
country. The San Francisco
Chronicle, for example, carried
over its front page an eight
column headline proclaiming 1
“Ike-Nixon Wedding.”
This and similar headlines set ’
the jokesters to concocting a :
raft of stories of how the news 1
might have been received. Some '
examples of these inventions: 1
—From the family quarters ;
on the second floor of the White :
House, a strong, familiar voice: 1
“So-o-o, they want to fight that 1
way.” I
—A member of the Common
wealth Club of San Francisco, i
where Barry Goldwater was ’
speaking, rushes up to the ;
Arizona Republican with a 1
newspaper, saying, “Say, did i
you see the headlines —lke and i
Nixon are getting married.” :
Goldwater faints dead away.

dropped the whole thing.
Here are some of the things
that might have happened when
the Fermi group applied to the
Atomic Energy Commission for
a reactor license:
—The AEC would have
decided a football stadium was
not a suitable place for the
experiment and would have
undertaken a two-year study to
select a proper site.
—A congressman from Cali
fornia would have proposed that
the project be switched from
Stagg Field to the Rose Bowl.
—A senator would have
demanded to know whether
there was equal housing oppor
tunity at Stagg Field.
—The staff of the congression
al committee would have asked
whether squash games would be
permitted while the reactor was
operating.
— Pickets would have
marched outside the stadium.
—Labor leaders would have
accused Fermi of trying to
acquire a monopoly.
—An AEC member would
have recommended that the
reactor be used to desalt
seawater, and that the water
then be used to grow grass on
the football field.
—The advisory committee on
reactor safeguards would have
scheduled a public hearing at
which no one showed up.
worker reads the headlines and
calls his headquarters: “What
do I do with all these Nixon-
Percy placards?"
In Albany. Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller takes one squint at
the headlines and dictates a
memo: “Be sure George
Romney knows about this.”
In Philadelphia, Harold Stas
sen on hearing the news tells
his campaign manager, “Issue
a statement right away —deny
the whole thing, denounce the
press and call on America to
stand firm.”
Lady Bird Johnson’s press
secretary and staff director,
Elizabeth Carpenter, was inter
viewed a few days ago by
Barbara Walters on NBC Radio.
Barbara wanted to know
whether Lynda Johnson and her
husband-to-be, Capt. Charles
Robb, had invited to the White
House wedding this Saturday
some of Lynda’s other former
boy friends besides actor
George Hamilton.
Mrs. Carpenter said of
course, the wedding guests
would include some of the
young men who dated Lynda in
her pre-Chuck days. Then to
give fuller dimension to Hamil
ton’s role, Liz added, "you must
remember, George also is a
good friend of the President and
Mrs. Johnson.”
COLD SHOWER
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—
Several hippies got unexpected
baths Tuesday night when a
power line snapped, blacking
out 1,000 buildings in the
Haight-Ashbury district for 45
minutes.
A fire department spokesman
said they were accidentally
sprayed with water as firemen
extinguished blazes in seven
trash cans which the flower
children ignited to provide
warmth.
