Summit Proposal Rejected by West
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Kennedy informed Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev today that a Russian proposal for expanding the Geneva Disarmament Conference into an 18-nation summit might set back the cause of arms control.
Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan today sent separate, but coordinated replies to Khrushchev's note of Feb. 10. In that note the Soviet leader asked that the 18 heads of government meet in Geneva March 14 to set the pattern of later disarmament negotiations by their deputies.
MACMILLAN RELEASED his answer to Khrushev in London about a half hour before Kennedy acted here. In his message, Macmillan said that a summit meeting "will more likely be practicable and fruitful when the main problems on disarmament have been clarified and some progress has been made."
Kennedy expressed a polite willingness to participate personally at a later date if it appeared that such participation "could positively affect the chances of success."
But the main theme of his letter to Khrushchev was against a major summit conference in the near future.
"I DO NOT BELIEVE that the attendance by the heads of government at the outset of an 18-nation conference is the best way to move forward," the President said.
Area Theater Called Possible
Lewin Goff, professor of speech and drama and director of the University Theatre, told the Faculty Forum yesterday that resident professional theater may make the theater a respectable, paying profession.
"It is just as inevitable as getting John H. Glenn into orbit," he said. "We are almost on the threshold of this very thing happening in this area."
It seeks to be a part of the people and the peculiarities of the area, and it encourages young actors, playwrights and designers.
He explained that resident professional theater is theater which builds itself in a town area and is professional in occupation, quality, discipline and education.
Prof, Goff said a resident professional theater would begin here when the city brought in a professional actor-director, paying his transportation expenses and a salary of about $100 per week.
"The box office itself would put us on a paying basis within three years." Prof. Goff said.
The professional would be given a chance to practice his art, "performing with KU students and participating in KU's academic program," he said.
"We would perhaps have a program that is unique, and it would give considerable weight and promise to our own theater.
"The final goal is to feed our own graduates into the company. They would remain with the resident professional theater for five or six productions, then move on."
The first resident professional theater is now being supervised by actor-director Tyrone Guthrie at the University of Minnesota. Similar programs are planned for Omaha, Des Moines, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City and Kansas City or Lawrence.
It has not been decided whether the resident professional company in this area will be in Kansas City or in Lawrence. KU will take several of its productions to Kansas City this year to determine Kansas City support for such a program.
The kick-off for this program will come March 30 of this year when KU will take its production of "The Boy Friend" to Battenfeld Auditorium in Kansas City.
Prof. Goff was asked if KU has received any financial support from foundations for its program yet.
Kennedy has a news conference scheduled for 10 a.m. Lawrence time at which he is expected to develop further the reasons why the major Western powers do not want to go into the Geneva meeting at the start on a heads of government basis.
"We have some interesting rejections," he replied. "I think most of the foundations are going to wait to see if we can do it."
The Kennedy Administration, while keeping its guard up, intends to give Khrushchev every opportunity to draw closer to the West as his troubles with Red China increase.
Officials said today that was a major consideration behind Kennedy's strategy in handling Khrushchev's proposal for opening the 18nation Geneva disarmament Conference next month at the summit level.
Kennedy was expected to gently reject Khrushchev's proposal, contending that it would be premature to meet at the top level until some progress has been made.
He will, however, hold out the possibility of a summit meeting later this year if some headway is made on blunting some of the sharper East-West issues.
Administration officials said some progress toward a disarmament agreement and a continued easing of the Berlin situation might well be considered sufficient to warrant a summit conference with Khrushchev some time this summer or early fall.
OFFICIALS ACKNOWLEDGED it was uncertain whether the new cordiality which has marked Soviet-American exchanges in recent weeks could survive a U.S. resumption of nuclear tests in the atmosphere.
Kennedy has said he will decide by the end of this month whether such tests are necessary and most officials believe he will give the go-ahead sign. His aides said he would make his decision purely on the basis of security needs and without regard to any improvement in the East-West atmosphere.
Administration officers are divided in their assessment as to whether Khrushchev may be growing more anxious for some accommodation with the Western powers on the disarmament issue and other thorny problems.
THEY ARE GENERALLY agreed that the Soviet Union faces one of its most critical periods since World War II. Khrushehev is generally regarded as being in a difficult position because of problems on three fronts:
- The growing ideological split with Red China, which opposes Khrushchev's "peaceful coexistence" theory of negotiation with the West.
Economic problems within the Soviet Union, particularly difficulties in agricultural production which are affecting supplies of both food and industrial raw materials.
Some U.S. officials believe circumstances are impelling Khrushchev to seek compromises with the West in an effort to bolster his position with demonstrable diplomatic achievements.
