Pleasant Iowa monday evening february 2, 1970 Price to cents cold these Days by John Chamberlain from Russia without much love president Richard Nixon still maintains his Hopes that the Era of confrontation in . Russian relations will be replaced by the Era of negotiation. He May have his reasons for feeling sanguine for the soviets facing troubles with the red chinese on their Long Asiatic Border Are obviously not anxious to pick fights on their Western front. But if there Are to be significant negotiations they will be taking place in a pretty Chilly atmosphere. The truth is that the a to Russia with love a gambit is becoming increasingly Barren of results. Our cultural exchanges with the soviet Union must be close to an All time Low. Where Are the russian poets who a few years ago were touring .

Only a few soviet engineers and technologists including a few in the Field of atomic Energy applications have been coming to the . During the last year. I am told that the number of graduate students in Exchange programs has dwindled to the smallest in a decade. So there is a deep freeze in the sort of relations that makes for easy fraternization Between Peoples.

But my Friend who Speaks russian and has been sought out by some of the visitors poses a disturbing question. Why he asks has Moscow cleared Young russians for passports in situations which one or two year ago would have resulted in a cold and Clammy turn Down my Friend guesses that Moscow is exploiting humanitarian considerations for political ends. He says we could be dealing a with a Large scale Kob secret police operation aimed at finding out who is re Cru Itable for thie needs among the sex soviet too the reason for this presumed on it i Nixon budget liar \1o��nfai a signals shift t awards peace big merger of railroads judge j.

Since Aeroflot has instituted the flights Between Moscow and new York no dollars which Are scarce Are needed for the travel it can be paid in my Friend is not of a suspicious nature.
