Into Foggy Bottom one day last week tramped stormy-faced Soviet Ambassador Georgy N. Zarubin for an interview with Secretary of State Dulles. It was obvious, as Zarubin cooled his heels in the State Department's fifth-floor reception room, that something was on his mind beside the new Kremlin policy of smiles. Ushered into Dulles' office, he protested angrily that four times in early July and four times last April U.S. planes based in West Germany had "deliberately" penetrated the air space over Baltic Russia-"some for more than 2½ hours" and by as much...

...Battle for Minds. Georgy Zarubin's pilgrimage to Williamsburg was a symptom of the new phase in the battle for men's minds, which last week flared with new intensity throughout the free world. The Soviet policy of smiles was picking up mileage and momentum by the minute, relaxing freedom's watchfulness, exacerbating the free world's differences, as the urgency of fear was removed. In suburban Hyattsville, Md., First Secretary Alexander Zinchuk of the Soviet embassy made a jovial pitch for a U.S.-Russian bridge across the Bering Strait so man could ride by road...
