Vandenberg Papers Tell Of HST
Wish To 'Phone Stalin At Kremlin
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, April 24.—(AP) :
—The private papers of the late
Senator Arthur Vandenberg dis
closed today that during one dan
. gerous impasse with Russia Pres
ident Truman talked about tele
« phoning personally to Generalissi
mo Stalin “to see what he could
¢ do with him.”
. The President’s famous project
for sending Chief Justice Fred
Vinson on a peace mission to Mos
cow had just been nipped by Sec
retary of State Marshall. It was
1948 and a critical time.
The Truman-Dewey presiden
tial campaign was at fever heat.
The Russians were blockading
Berlin, The world was gripped by
war fears, »
There was apprehension here
that the Kremlin would try to
take advantage of American polit
ical differences to act worse
abroad, and possible stumble into
war.
Secret Meeting
Republican Senator Vandenberg
wrote that at a secret White
House meeting with himself and
Democratic Senator Connally,
Truman seemed “anxious to do
something” for peace and appear

ed aware also that his election
campaign “sadly needed a shot in
the arm.”
The President made clear he
was just looking into the idea of
phoning Stalin, according to Van
denberg’s notes, and there is no
evidence that anything ever came
of it.
The incident stands out in “the
private papers of Senator Vanden
berg,” however, as a fascinating
footnote to a risky period of re
cent history.
It illuminates the working rela
tionship which the TRepublican
Senator had with the leaders of
the opposition party even in an
election year.
The 599-page volume of Van
denberg’s papers—a record of the
Senator’s conversion from ‘“isola
tionist” to “internationalism” and
of his influence on great affairs
through the last decade—is to be
published next Tuesday by
Houghton Mifflin Company, Bos=
ton. \
Senator Vandenberg's son, Ar
thur, jr., his assistant through 14
years, edited the letter, diary and
scrapbook selections that make up
the volume. It mainly covers the
time from 1939 to Vandenberg's
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 80, 1052,
death of gancer om April 18, 1961,
.. Other Disclosures
Chief apmong the how..dhdfo
ures about the ‘events ‘on which
Vandenberg had inside knowledge
are theset
1, Britain formerly had a veto
over American use of the atomie
bomb, This was provided in war
tinre agreements between the late
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill, arranging for
joint develcpment of the weapon
in the first place. The veto agree
ment ended in January, 1948, the
wartime American - British - Ca
radian partnership having dis
'solved and final decision on use
of the bomb passed into the hands
of the President.
2. In July, 1949, at a Blair
House meeting (recognized as
sensational at the time) President
Truman proposed to share Amer
ica’s A-bomb secrets with Britain
and Canada by reviving full
atomic partnership with them. He
said the British and Canadians
wanted this and it would benefit
American atomic developments.
Vandenberg opposed such sharing.
He argued Britain should cooper
ate without getting the secrets.
3. In the years before his death
Vandenberg envisioned General
Dwight D. Eisenhower ‘as a Re
publican presidential possibility.
On December 12, 1949, he wrote
his friend, Dr. Isiah Bowman,
Johns Hopkins University Geogra
pher, responding to a suggestion
that Eisenhower would make the
party’s strongest candidate in
1952. Vandenberg replied “we
may find ourselves ‘riding the
same horse’.”
4. President Truman wrote Van
denberg on March 27, 1950, that he
believed “the Chinese and Far
Eastern situation eventually will!
be rescued from the totalitarian
regime at Moscow.” The letter‘
dealt mainly with the President’s
idea of imporiance of biparti
san foreign policy.
