WASHINGTON ll'.nt—New Com-
munist strategy behind the smiles,
wise cracks and backslapping of
the Kremlin men is beginning to
develop recoiiiiizeable shape.
The strategy is a play for re
laxed East West tension, not nec-
essarily accompanied by any im-
provement in overall Communist
objectives. Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin's recent salute to the
maitini diplomacy he enjoyed
with President Eisenhower at the
\ Geneva conference would fit that
pattern.
So would (leorgi Malenkov's hat-
waving progress throughout I ileal
Britain in search of electronics and
atomic know-how.
Last summer's summit confer-
' ence at (lenev a among the Bigi
Four chiefs of state appears to be
the basic propaganda item and the
contioiliiig factor in the new Com-
munist strategy. This summit con
ference was preliminary to the
October foreign ministers' conftvt-
Wealthy Detroit
Man, Wife Killed
VICTOKIO, Mexico il l!'—Police
Chief A gust in Torres said Tuesday
he expects the "early capture" of
two young Americans suspected in
the mystery slaying of a wealthy
Detroit manufacturer and his wife.
Torres said police thioughout
Mexico were searching for Wil-
liam Shetton and Joseph O'Brien,
Victoria motel operators, who fled
Monday following the identifica-
tion of the two murder victims
found on a lonely ranch road north
of here Saturday.
The nude bodies were identified
as those of Everett B. Kennisort,
56. and his wife, Pauline, 51. They
had been brutally beaten and shot
at close range. X^H'ir bodies were
dumped at a point nearly five
miles off the main highway.
Pnc<* at which western hopes Cor
solution of vital problems were
sadly disappointed.
Communist propaganda here
and abroad, however, holds that
the so called Geneva spirit thrives,
that East West tensions have been
relaxed, that Americans and oth-
ers now are more understanding of
Communist objectives than before
the Big Four met. Foreign Com-
munists, as in France, seek again
collective political action with oth-
er parties in the so-called popular
front pattern.
Bulganin and Communist part*
boss Nikita Khiushchev are sched-
uled soon to visit Great Britain
for a show of amiability which
easily could excel Malenkov's per
tormance.

sweetness and light was indicated , *•' *>•!' Survey
