Was Move executive and commander in chief of its armed forces. But his proposal was not in keeping with the principles or the tactics he has recommended ever since he arrived at the summit.

The President's argument all week has been that this was a conferer.ee not for orations but for discussions, not for controversial details but for general principles, not for emphasizing the things that divide the Big Four but for emphasizing the things that unite them. AMERICANS have been White House propaganda chief. Whether they persuaded the President to change his tactics or whether one or another of them merely threw out ideas which he accepted was still a matter of speculation. The fact is, however, that he changed his line. He's still saying that a new spirit and good faith may dissolve the contradictory East-West policies on German unity and European f'curity.

But Thursday's barrage of Soviet propaganda, followed by Mr. Eisenhower's improvisations, have not improved the outlook. The new thing is that President Eisenhower Thursday joined the propaganda parade with a vengeance. He produced the only new dramatic proposal of the week. He suggested that the United States and Russia trade all military blueprints.

He proposed further that the Russians fly all ve the United States, photographing our military establishments, and that they let us do the same in Russia. THIS WAS the surprise of the conference for a variety of reasons. pointing to the President's tactics here this week as a model of how to act. He has been full of good will toward everybody. He has been courting the Russians, so much so that they have been saying privately for the last two days that they are convinced there will never be a war so long as he is President.

Wednesday, however, a new flock of advisers arrived from Washington Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Harold Stas-sen, disarmament assistant, and Nelson A. Rockefeller, THE IDEA of exchanging "defense blueprints" and aerial photos with Russia had been discussed casually here in private meetings, but it apparently was not in the draft of the speech $Ir. Eisenhower took with him to the palace Thursday afternoon.

When Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin started talking about the Soviet ideas of disarmament, however Mr. Eisenhower apparently decided to spring his "blueprint' and aerial photograph ideas. This, of course, he had every right to do. He is the President of tke United States, its chief First, it was generally regarded as unrealistic. As Mr.

Eisenhower himself aid Wednesday, Russia already knows almost everything it needs to know about United States defense arrangements. They don't need to hand over their defense blueprints and let American aviators photograph their country in carder to find out what the United States is doing. Second, it is illegal under United States laws. Nobody, for example, is allowed to fly over certain atomic energy projects. Third, in light of these facts BY JAMES RESTOX New York Timet Foreign Sertiee GENEVA The Big Four conference is declining fast.

What was advertised as a realistic private discussion of conflicting national interests, and what had started as a -1e-termined demonstration of international chumminesd, developed Thursday into a propaganda battle between the United States and Russia. There is nothing new ab.jut this for the Russians. They have been making propaganda since Monday. it seemed to the other Western delegates to be a proposal like the Soviet proposal for the destruction of all atomic bombs and the dismantling of Allied air bases, which the other side knew in advance had no chance of being accepted. Fourth, and this was the greatest surprise of all, the idea of exchanging defense blueprints and aerial photographs with Moscow, forbidden under United States law, apparently was not cleared with the Congress, which makes the laws, or decided upon as a carefully, calculated policy in Washington.

Throw Open Skies, President Urges Bulganin Gets Plan Sidetracked; British and French Praise It Free Press ire SeM ires GENEVA President Eisenhower Thursday-challenged Russia to prove its sincere desire for disarmament and peace by exchanging military blueprints with the United States and throwing both countries open to unlimited aerial photography.

British Prime Minister Anthony Eden and French Premier Edgar Faure said they were "deeply moved" by the sincerity of the Eisenhower proposal.

BUT WE CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GIVE THEM GUNS AGAIN. Last Saturday the Bonn parliament passed legislation calling up the first officers and men of 12 new German divisions, with the blessing of the West. The prospect of an armed Germany is believed to be one of the reasons the Russians were so eager for conversations at the summit.
