In contrast to the past when he relied chiefly on the late Secretary of state John Foster Dulles the president is making a per Sonal Effort to crack the stalemate in the cold War with Russia. In this role he has emerged As what Veteran White House correspondents term the new Ike. The president himself has described the trip As designed to get the views of British prime minister Harold Macmillan French president Charles de Gaulle and other Allied leaders before he confers Here next month with soviet Premier Nikita s. Khrushchev. His problem is to reassure Western leaders particularly German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer that he will make no concessions to Khrushchev that might damage their interests. At the same time he wants to avoid an appearance of rigidity that might chill the atmosphere of his talks with Khrushchev. In his meeting with de Gaulle or. Eisen Hower can hardly avoid sensitive issues which trouble Franco american relations. These in clude refusal of the .

Adenauer and de Gaulle Are both reported to believe that no Good can come from the Exchange of visits Between or. Eisenhower and Khrushchev but have refrained from an Public expression of their views. There Are some misgivings in the state department Over or. Eisenhower s decision to make a special trip to Bonn instead of meet ing Adenauer in London. Officials recognize that Adenauer is at or near the top of Khrushchev s hate  the say the soviet Leader probably thinks the German Chancellor is out to sabotage any soviet american Accord which might ease tensions. For that reason some officials fear that or. Eisenhower s special trip might seem provocative to Khrushchev. However after a Strong recommendation from american ambassador c David k. E. Bruce in Bonn it was agreed the trip was vital to Calm Bonn  " or.
