Russia's announced withdr
of almost i'iO.imki troops frmi
ern Europe is calculated to
atoiiR a sentiment that has
gaining strength in Western
rone.
The idea is that it's time for
engagement, for an end to the
war.

received powerful impetus from the
concept that nobody" can win now,

Military, both east and west
hii i' reached an impasse. Russian
rockets cannot be hulled against
the west without western bombers
and rockets being huiled against
Russia from hundreds >f buses.
The West piobably can not stop
Russian rockets. On the other hand,
the Russians can not destroy the
hundreds of buses on which allied
rockets and planes are at the alert.
Add to that the immense de-
stiuctive Dower of nuclear war-
h"ads, and one has a powerful de-
terrant t > attack.
Overthrow From Within
The author of the current Ameri-
can policy of containment of So
viet Russia, George Kennan. has
been expounding the idea in Eng-
land that the main danger from

Russia is not a military danger,
in any case He says, in el'fert, that
where Communism has taken over
it has tended to gr >w out of do-
mestic revolutions. Albeit, helped
along a bit by Russian diplomacy.
One may recall that in the post-
war chaos. Soviet troops ami or-
ders from Moscow gave m ire than
a little help to Communist seiz-
ures in what are now the satel-
lite countries of Eastern Europe
but there 's a theory that a peo-
ple seized by force of arms must
always lie restrained by arms.
And eventually, the biggest im-
perialist runs out if armies.
If so. the Soviet Union may be
moved by the high cost of policing
satellites to ease off a bit in East
ern Europe. Some 60,000 men, ac-
cording to a Kremlin announce-
ment, are to be withdrawn fr >m
Hungary and East Germany, and
demobilized.
They are part of .100,000 men
who are to be sent back to civilian
pursuits.
Both Out t'rged
Kennan's idea, which is gaining
favor, is that both the United
States and Russia should get out
of Europe eventually. For there, in
the political sense, the same stale-
mate exists that one finds in world
military power.
Germany is forever divided un-
less the cold war ends, for Russia
holds East Get many unilaterally,
and West Germany is powerfully
and unmistakablv anti-Communist.
With Germany divided. Europe oc-
cupies an uncomfortable political
posture.
Kennan's idea is that if all for-
eign troops were withdrawn from
Europe, perhaps a step at a time
more nearly free to shape their
own destines.
Ultimately, the cold war would
become a shadow, and the Com-
munist Nations and the allied na-
tions would make a treaty to pre-
serve world peace between them, re-
flecting the iriginul concept of the
United Nations i the great pow-
ers as the world's peacemakers.

(A. P. WRITER)
The vvor.l in Washington is that
the session of Cungics* which con-
vened yesterday may produce more
fiieworks than the nation's capital
has seen in s me years.
The reason:
The Democratic Congress may-
have a dramatic issue to debate
with the Republican Administra-
tion, the issue of national security
and national defense.
For some years, Democratic lend-
ers have found it difficult to get
at the Republican president. Orig-
inally, he went into offiee as a
military hero with none of the
scars that one picks up during
along political career.
Once in office. President Eisen-
hower tended to remain aloof from
the hurly buily of political Wash-
ington. Hut, as things shape up
n >w, a political campaign this year'
may- take shape along two lines:
Fint. that the President's per j
soiial popularitv may be offset by;
the argument that he is no longer.
in full command of his administra-1
tion. that illness has forced him i
to delegate essential responsibili- j
ities. !
Defense Criticism
And, second, that the past years •
have been seen America's leader-!
ship in the fields of science and
military defense slip away while j
Russia has been earning up fast. j
This is the type of issue which
is calculated to register with vo-'
ter« at the polls. It is an issue i
which was dramatized by the fir-j
ing of an artificial satellite into an
an orbit around the world.. A sat-
ellite that bore the legend "made
in Moscow.
Political analysts will agree tiiat
elections are not always w .n or
lost by the most reasonable argu
ment, particularly when the issues
are intricate, technical or abstruse.
Rather, large blocs of votesr tend
to cast tbir ballots on the 'oasis of
of dramatic issues, spiced, perhaps,
with a touch if emotion.
In the present session of con-
gress, there is som ereason to be-
lieve that the debate will not be
altogether between the democratic
congress and the Republican admin-
istration. The Congress may have
some difficulty unifying its own
views as well.
Two Directions
The members back in Washing-
ton, like the ancient god Jesus,
are ttying to look in two directions:
On the one hand, they'd like to
see America's military and scientif-
ic capacity expanded suddenly and
dramatically.
On the other, though, these things
cosi money and this is a Congres-
sional electi m year. And in elec-
tion years, voters are notably
touchy about paying more taxes.
What it boils down to is this:
Both parties probably will be wil-
ling and anxious to take credit
for any improvements that develop
in our status and stature.
Neither party will be anxious to
take the blame foi spending the
money that made such improve-
ment possible.
Legislation is possible in this
country only by approval of 1> ith
the Congress and the administra-
tion, 2 VtftO 15 to be oiti-
ridden, but the issues shoved be
Slittieinitly ob.'Allled to iUppol C
