Moscow Reviews U.S. Turmoil And Ponders Future of Detente
By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press Reporter
A dispatch of Tass, the official Soviet news agency, hints that Moscow is taking a long and thoughtful new look at Russia. It could be determining whether to lodge Soviet bets on the fruits of detente.
At the same time, indications of new strains on the fragile Soviet-American "ear side of negotiation" come from the American side with news that the minister of state Congress to shelve appropriately the President's recommendation to liberalize trade with Moscow.
Obviously, the Middle East crisis has opened cracks in the structure of the U.S.-Soviet detente. In fact, there is a hint in what Tass has done that Moscow is wondering about the Nixon administration's staying power.
As is customary in cases where the Kremlin treats cautiously, the dispatch got into the subject obliquely. But Tass never said it was an accident. The police message, and it can make its point simply
by quoting others out of context. In this case, the quotation was from an American commentator's opinion that the ad-

An announced Soviet intention to send troops, ostensibly to oversee the cease-fire, triggered a U.S. alert to military units, and for a few hours it had the look of nuclear brink once again. Brehzhen complained indignantly that the Americans overreacted.
Louis I. Brezhnev, the Soviet chief, was euphoric about the prospect of the U.S.-Soviet defeat after his visit to Russia in 1986, but the East now seems to have applied some kind of
EVIDENTLY, official Moscow now sees it all as the desperation of an administration need crisis to absorb public attention. The Russians have been in such situations. Only six months ago Breznev, defending his political position, criticized the inconvenience noobelieve or two. And the Russians have a way of imputing their own fools to others.
Thus, Moscow, probably seeing what it believes to be a groggy Washington staggering from ceaseless punches, is likely being pushed into a life of difficulty, so is everything he stands for.
If the Tass dispatch is a herald of flagging confidence in the Nixon staying power the detente could be about to enter a mark-time phase, at the least.

Prof Studies Human Perception
By ANN GARDNER
Kanan Staff Reporter
The study of human perception is Ivo Kohler's first love, and the opportunity for experimentation in that field is the main reason Kohler is spending a semester at the University of Kansas as a visiting professor of psychology.
Kohler is a native of Immsbruck, Austria, where he is the only full professor in a psychology department of 400 students, two associate professors and two assistant
The KU psychology department, which has 20 full professors and 18 assistant professors.
The greater number of faculty members, Kohler says, is the major factor that allows American professors more freedom to carry out psychological research.
HE SAYS he has noticed a difference in between the two countries concerning research.
"In this country, they give money for different research projects that look to the future," Kohler says. "We (at Innsbruck) are honeymooned in immediate results."
Besides teaching two classes at the University, Kohler is also working on perception research with Robert Welch, associate professor of psychology. They are investigating the use of inner ear stimulation to control physical movements.
Although Kohler is interested in his research work, he says he also enjoys the classes he teaches. He describes American students as more studious than his students in Austria, many of whom have joined revolutionary movements in recent years.
Kohler has served as a visiting professor in several other American universities including Duke, Cornell and Purdue. He graduated with his wife and 11-year-old son in a house furnished by the KU Endowment Association. All three have favorable impressions of Lawrence and the United States.
"The atmosphere of freedom and of accusing other people is very great," says
Mrs. Kohler says she has found Lawrence to be "very friendly." Many people seem glad to have a foreign visitor here, she says
"It is more the habit around here to show a friendly face," she said.
