Diplomacy:

to

Peace?

NEW YORK (M-)-The "longest
game in modern history may have
established floating" diplomatic
averted war between the United
States and Communist China and
may yet provide the scene for a
meeting of minds, says a former
U.S. ambassador who once con-
ducted negotiations with the Chi-
nese Communists.
For 11 years, through 130 se-
cret formal sessions and other in-
formal ones, U.S. and Communist
Chinese have met, first in Gene-
va and then in Warsaw, in what
were largely ritual sessions of
cold hostility.

Kenneth T. Young, deputy U.S.
representative to talks which
brought about the truce in Korea,
finds the meetings significant,
especially in providing a channel
"for reducing miscalculations."
Young presents his views in a
comprehensive accounts of the
U.S. - Communist Chinese talks,
published in the current issue of
Foreign Affairs, quarterly of the
Council on Foreign Relations.
"When a crisis seemed to be
building up over Laos in 1961,"
Young writes, "President Kennedy
reportedly used the ambassadorial
channel in Warsaw to warn that

the United States would be com-
pelled to intervene militarily,
however unwillingly, if a cease-
fire did not precede the opening
of negotiations in Geneva.
"Peking informed Washington
via the Warsaw channel that it
was serious about wishing to ne-
gotiate rather than fight and
that it hoped that the United
States would cooperate in work-
ing out an acceptable agreement
for the neutralization of tne
country. By preventing a serious
miscalculation, Peking's notifi-
cation averted a potential military
clash and helped to assure tne

diplomatic alternative of the Ge-
neva conference of 1962 on Laos."
Young cites another instance of
the long-range effects of the
tenuous Peking-Washington con-
tact. This was during the For-
mosa Strait crisis of 1958, when
"the United States assembled the
most powerful striking force in
history and at the same time tried
strenuously in the ambassadorial
talks to negotiate a new staius
for the offshore islands."
This had several results, Young
says. A much greater U.S. mili-
tary presence emerged in East
Asia than might otherwise have

been the case.
Rut the talks also contributed to
the estrangement of Peking and
Moscow: "Peking made the bitter
discovery that its ally put limits
on challenging Washington re-
garding Peking's national 'irren-
denta' unredeemed territories.
Partially in retaliation against
ally and enemyalike, Communist
China is now uncompromisingly
hostile to both and prevents ne-
gotiation with either."
According to Young, Washing-
ton has used Warsaw talks to ex-
pound a plan for political settle-
ment in Viet Nam based on the

1954 Geneva agreements. This in-
volves mutual de-escalation of
military operations as a prelude
to talks. China remains intract-
able.
The net result of 11 years of
talks is that "the gap between the
two governments is growing and
the prospects for closer contacts
seem remote," Young writes.
Nevertheless, Young says, the
contact has given Washington
more continuous diplomatic con-
tact and diversified dialogue with
Peking than any other non-Com-
munist western government has.
switchboard for the U.S. president

to talk to Peking and vice versa,
and a device for exchanging views'
on such critical issues as Viet
Nam and Formosa.
He concludes: "If we persist
long enough in our 'sit-in,' it
might some day become a place
for a meeting of minds, not just
of men, to explore such critical
tasks as a guaranteed settlement
for Southeast Asia, nuclear con-
trol, the internal requirements of
China, the regulation of the Tai-
wan-Formosa Strait problem in all
its aspects and the evolution of
the triangular relations between
Peking, Moscow and Washington."

Red Guards

Stage Mass X
Peking Rally
Crowd of Million
Gathers in Plaza,
Told To End Revolt
TOKYO (RP)-Communist China's
leaders Yesterday decreed a tem-
porary halt to the month-long
rampage of the young Red Guards
and urged them to heln bring in
the harvest. The orders were is-
sued during a mass rally in Pe-
king that amounted to a farewell
party.1
Under. the gaze of party Chair-
man Mao Tze-tung, Defense Min-
ister Lin Piao who is Mao's heir
apparent, and Premier Chou En-
lai about a million Red Guards
and soldiers jammed into the
Plaza of Heavenly Peace, Japa-
nese correspondents in Peking re-
ported.
The official New China News
Agency said many Red Guards al-
ready had scattered to the coun-
tryside in many parts of China
to help the peasants with the
autumn harvest.
An article in the People's Daily
did not make clear whether the
Red Guards, whose violenc'e for a
time created turmoil and fightingt
in China, would be allowed to re-
sume their revolutionary drive1
later.1
"Under no circumstances must
production , be allowed to slow
down," People's Daily said. "Dur-
ing the busy fall harvesting sea-.
son, you may cease your revolu-
tionary activities."E
The paper said the Red Guards1
should learn from the peasants
and laborers of China. Sayingt
that there was no need for RedE
Guards to try to "instill theirt
revolutionary zeal" in factories or
farms, People's Daily declaredf
workers and farmers are "carry-
ing out revlutionary activities of
their own."
This may have been a rebuke.
Various reports of clashes be-
tween Red Guards and other Chi-}
nese throughout China have said1
the workers were in the forefront
of the resistance. There also have
been clashes between farners andE
Red Guards, according to these
reports.
While they have been admon-
ished to desist from revolutionary
activity, at least until the har-
vest is in, the rally under the
high auspices of Mao and De-
fense Minister Lin showed the

Senate Republican Leader Ev-

Aswed whether a Monday de-

mply: "I'm afraid so."
New Proposal
Hart said he believes if the

Congress a new, similar proposal
next year.
A new bill in a new Congress
would have to begin all over
again the path to approval. And
Hart acknowledged it would be
responsible for the House, which
passed the controversial measure
in an election year, to insist that
the Senate act first next time.
This would create new prob-
lems, since Sen. James 0. East-
lands, D-Miss., a bitter foe of
civil rights legislation, heads the
Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen-
ate leaders were able to bypass
the Judiciary Committee this
time by putting the House-
passed bill directly on the Sen-
ate calendar.
Open Housing Section
.A compromise open housing

tion to the measure. But both
Mansfield and Hart, the bill's
chief Senate sponsor, said there
is no plan to drop that provi-
sion in an effort to gain support
for the. rest of the bill.
The measure also includes pro-
visions aimed against discrimina-
tion in jury selection, would au-
thorize government - sponsored
court action against any violator
of federally protected rights, and
would make it a federal crime to
use force or threats to intimidate
civil rights workers.
Dirksen, who has focused his
criticism on ' the open housing
provision has indicated he would
not support the 'bill even if it
were eliminated. Dirksen and -his
allies also have criticized the jury
selection provisions.
