Editorial Ball s Strange Behavior r pHE STRANGE behavior of George Ball, short-time I American ambassador to the United Nations and now a member of the Humphrey-for-president staff, needs to be aired in public since he might well be an important member of a new Democratic administration. Ball resigned his post to the U.N. on the very day of his confirmation by the Senate. He quit ostensibly because he wanted to help elect Humphrey to the presidency. Willard Edwards of a Chicago newspaper offers another explanation for Ball’s hasty departure—conflict of interest. According to Edwards, “For several weeks, a group of senators and representatives has been cautiously pursuing the leads furnished by an informant pertaining to Ball’s alleged retention of legal and banking connections while he served as chief United States representative to the U.N.” The informant released his information to the Government Employes’ Exchange, a publication for government workers which has turned up other questionable activities by Ball. Last spring the publication reported that the former ambassador, while serving as undersecretary of State, was in charge of the State Department’s “laboratory” which spied on state employes and visiting journalists to prevent news leaks which might put the administration in a bad light. John F. Reilly, friend and protege of the late Robert Kennedy, monitored phone calls in the lab. He was forced to resign when caught lying about his role in snooping on Otto Otepka. Otepka, top security evaluator for the State Department, was recently demoted by Secretary Dean Rusk for having told a Senate subcommittee about the department’s lax security. In view of the evidence, the investigation by Congress into Ball’s activities should not go uninvestigated. The public has a right to know about his previous career as a public servant before he is again allowed to serve in a governmental post.

Talks continue By RICHARD HUGHES PARIS (UPI)—U.S. negotiator W. Averell Harriman today called on Hanoi to “move toward an honorable peace," An American ally said talks on the key issues blocking a peace conference are in “the final stages." Roving Ambassador Harriman spoke as he entered the Majestic Hotel for his 28th regular meeting with North Vietnamese diplomats in twonation talks called to cool down the war enough to permit a peace conference. Unconfirmed reports spread in Paris that the United States was contemplating a full bombing halt against North Vietnam—the price Hanoi has demanded for arranging peace talks. In Bangkok, Thai Foreign Minister Thanat Khoman returned today from Washington and the United Nations and told newsmen; “At this time talks about a halt are in the final stages. There could be an agreement." In Saigon, President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam

and his highest aides met before dawn today. Sources said they discussed American proposals for ending the bombing of North Vietnam. In Paris, Harriman declined to detail to newsmen the state of negotiations. “This would not be the appropriate time," he said. But Harriman, a former Democratic governor of New York, replied when newsmen asked if the American presidential elections were having an effect on the talks here. “As far as I'm concerned the election is not entering into the discussions here in any shape, form or manner. We have been dealing with the problems of peace for the American people and that is the only thought any of us have," he said. Richard M. Nixon, the Republican presidential candidate, had said certain White House aides whom he did not name, had been trying to get some sort of agreement in Paris to aid the cause of his Democratic exponent, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. But he said he did not believe President Johnson was seeking an early peace for Humphrey’s political benefit.

HATE AMERICA DOWN MEXICO WAY There is sympathy for the two American athletes who >vere expelled from the Olympic community for attempting to turn their participation in the Games into a demonstration against their country. It isn’t surprising that there was such sympathy, if only because nowadays it is not surprising that there is sympathy for anyone. The question is: Should we sympathize with the sympathizers? There is a sense in which we have all been encouraged to politicalize the Olympic games. Although its director, Avery Brundage, has throughout his lifetime implored us to exclude politics from sports, in fact we have not done so. There are very good arguments for not doing so, e.g. Sir Arnold Lunn’s . He says that when there is abundant evidence of the systematic persecution of a people whether on account of race or religion or economic class or whatever, the oppressor government ought to be excluded. Sir Arnold has been quite consistent, as when he asked that the Nazis be excluded, after information had come in concerning the persecution of Jews. Nowadays, it is of course fashionable only to recoil against such oppressions as involve whites against blacks, so that the South Africans were excluded, even though they had nominated a fully integrated team. Subsequent proposals to exclude the Soviet Union after the rape of Czechoslovakia were -hardly even noticed. The Russians and their slaves are emotionally unmolested in Mexico, while the Americans are publicly provoked by some of its athletes and one wonders, truly, one wonders, whether the moral gyroscope is permanently offkilter. A young Englishman came by recently, a journalist, who was recently in Czechoslovakia, and more recently in California. He has a way of putting things. Have you noticed — he asked — how oddly the New American Conscience is working? I asked him to explain. Well, he said, a few days after the Russian Army occupied Czechoslovakia, he noticed in California papers tiny little twoinch ads deploring the end of Czechoslovakian freedom and of the politics of detente, and great big full-page ads deploring the limited freedom of Californian homosexuals. “It seems to me,’’ he said, with the heavy meiosis for which the British are renowned, “that that says something — or does it? -- about America’s capacity to understand what is important?" It does. Not that the English are the best teachers. Take for instance Graham Greene, the novelist.

Extremely important, inasmuch as he is a Catholic, and hence presumptively a conservative; and besides he is a consecrated moralizer, hence someone whom one would expect to be standin at-the-ready to come to the aid of any institutional victim. Mr. Greene wrote even before the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia that he is “an admirer of the Soviet Union and an admirer of the Communistsystem,’' (Encounter, June, 1968, p. 62). Greene may be the only person in the western world about whom Spiro Agnew could safely say, under the circumstances, that he is soft on Communism. However, Mr. Greene we.it on to point out that he disapproved the Soviet Union’s persecution of Daniel and Sinyavsky, a piece of naivete on the order of approving of Hitler Germany and the Nazi system, but disapproving the persecution of Einstein. Anyway, Greene tried to turn over his Soviet royalties to the wives of Daniel and Sinyavsky. First he instructed his publishers, and they said no, they had no right to turn over the money. Then he asked a friend on the Supreme Soviet to take care of the matter, and said friend wrote back a letter which even Mr. Greene recognized as

ice-like. But it is no doubt the supreme example of the dilettante that Mr. Greene should in the same article in which he related his failure to come to the aid of Daniel and Sinyavsky, reiterate his admiration of “the Communist system." That kind of thing becomes an international life-style. Meanwhile, the truly oppressed stand silent. The young Russian and Polish and Bulgarian and Chinese and Roumanian athletes keep their hands down, knowing that if they raised them in demonstration against true tyranny, they would next be raising them to plead with the firing squads. Meanwhile, the persecution is of America. Asked to name in one word what he loathes, Greene once answered, “America." Truly, America has borne our griefs and my heart goes out to her. Organized Beauty SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPD — The day beauty contest winners make numerous public appearances free of charge may be nearing an end.

He won’t know his Jumping-Jacks are dress-up shoes unless you tell him.

Boys can usually tell dress shoes by the way they feel: stiff. Jumping Jacks are different. They’re unlined so they’re soft, light and flexible. They’re made of prime leathers so they can take a beating whether he’s in his Sunday best or not. According to size, $10.95 to $11.95 You’ll find Jumping-Jacks*at MOORE'S SHOES West Side Of Square
