Vast Ignorance. But the big fact about Peaceful Coexistence, 1959-the fact beyond Kozlov's toothy public grin and the U.S. Governors' convivial good will-is that it is a deadly serious part of cold war. Washington encourages a strictly reciprocal exchange in an attempt to dent the vast and dangerous Soviet ignorance of the U.S., make Russians more restlessly aware of the gulf between U.S. and Soviet standards of living. Washington tolerates Kozlov-level visits because the President wants the Kremlin hierarchy to know firsthand that the U.S. is united and deadly serious in its intention...
...Worse Than Stalin." Just what the U.S. can expect when the Geneva conference resumes next week-and how little the public Kozlov grin showed the true face of Soviet policy-was plain this week when New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to Moscow in 1943-46, reported, in LIFE and in memos to top Administration policymakers, on his talks with Premier Nikita Khrushchev (see FOREIGN NEWS). To Harriman, Khrushchev seemed to be dangerously cocky, dangerously ignorant of the West. Even after discounting Khrushchev's performance as tactical bluffing in part, Harriman found him "shocking, worse...
...last week, and the red ink splattered over a record peacetime deficit of $12.6 billion. Principal reason for the big red year: the now departed recession, which cut tax revenues by $6.2 billion, raised spending by $1.5 billion, for such antirecession programs as higher housing outlays and pump-priming public work projects. Other spending pressures: a $900 million post-Sputnik boost in defense, $1.4 billion turned over to the International Monetary Fund as of July 1 (but charged against the dying fiscal year), a $2.2 billion overbudget outlay for buying the bumper crops produced by the obsolete farm-subsidy program...
Under federal law, a radio or TV station that grants time to a "legally qualified candidate for any public office" has to grant equal time to his rivals. The same ridiculous law, now under attack by Ike as well as radio and TV stations, bars the station from "censorship" of what candidates say. Back in 1956, WDAY in Fargo, N. Dak. granted equal time to A. C. Townley, independent candidate for U.S. Senator (he lost), and a farmer association attacked in Townley's speech sued WDAY for damages. Ruled the Court, 5 to 4: since WDAY was only doing...
Under the clouds last week: ¶ The Congress appropriated $6 billion in three bills-for the Agriculture, Commerce, State and Justice departments-shaving off $162 million from the President's requests. ("They say we are budget busters and big spenders," raged House Speaker Rayburn in a rare public outburst, "and all the time we are cutting down on their bills. I don't understand it.") In the $4.6 billion farm-appropriation bill, both houses voted a ceiling on individual farm subsidies to put a stop to subsidy millionaires, but in the final maneuvering it was raised from...
