...London talks have skirted the political issues and concentrated on the immediate question of reduction in arms. Harold Stassen's proposal for a two stage 25% reduction in conventional arms shows signs of being accepted on its merits alone. If this reduction can be effected, it will represent a significant, thought not conclusive step forward. The actual achievement of any agreement with the Russians, will, moreover, signify a new atmosphere of harmony in which more gains can be made. Real progress can only come if the conventional arms reduction provides an inspection system that admits international observers to military posts...
...real task of the London Conference, which has not yet concluded, is to set up an area of agreement from which further gains can be achieved. In this, at least, Stassen appears to have been successful. If he can cement the advances of this conference, the future of disarmament will have come several steps nearer realization...
...Dispatched, to this week's London disarmament talks, U.S. Disarmament Specialist Harold Stassen, after a private talk and a round of photographs at the White House with Ike. One reason for the White House visit: the U.S., which will seek agreement on a five-point plan aimed at nuclear-and conventional-arms reduction, feels that Russia, economically hard-pressed and anxious to improve its international reputation, may present some new and realistic proposals of its own-and Washington wants to flag the Russians that Negotiator Stassen, despite his recent political difficulties with Administration leaders (TIME, March...

And then, five weeks ago, he served up his opinion that Nixon was indeed a 1956 liability, and that the Republicans could have won control of Congress if Massachusetts' Christian Herter rather than Nixon had been the vice-presidential nominee. Fellow Republicans glowered, wondered how long, O Ike, before Harold is sent...
More and more, Disarmament's Stassen has been crossing swords on policy with the State Department. Item: last December, while Secretary Dulles was in Europe, Stassen called a press conference and suggested, to the consternation of Dulles and U.S. allies alike, that both the U.S. and Russia might withdraw their forces from Europe. Last week Stassen and Dulles dropped in at the White House for a chat with President Eisenhower. When they came out, Dulles' sword was sheathed, Stassen was virtually disarmed. Announced Dulles: the President had directed Stassen henceforth to operate under policy guidance of the Secretary...
