'Sounds'
sight Into the mentality ani
morality of the people we are
geing to have ta deal with for a
long tong time.
If you want to knuw what the
Red strategy is like the 52-year-old
admiral will refer you to a
book by Nathan Lciles. called The
Operational Code of the Polit-
buro." That's required reading for
every Allied negotiator.' he said.
And it should be required read-
ing for everybody.
It describes Communist conference-room
strategy and tactics
and we find at Panmunjom that
they follow it closely.
Picking up the book he said
Listen to this." Then he read:
Only the effect of a statement
is important not its truth. In
making statements. Communists
must nut be concerned with truth
or consistency. The Bolshevik lies
when it is expedient to lie . . .
Threats abuse invective are
forms of pressure. They will be
used when it is expedient to put
pressure on the enemy . .
The admiral stopped reading
and said: That's the way II is
at Panmunjom. all right. That's
the way they operated."
Joy ran the fingers of his right
liiid through iiis wavy grey hair.
Then he said:
You know I lost 10 pounds in
the first Iwu weeks of these con-
ferences back in July. Thai was
a difficult time. We were trying!
lo size up the Communists get
their attitudes understand 1 heir j
feelings. And we knew the whole -world
was watching us. The whole
world. " I
"Tilings are different now'. We ;
know what to expert. I got my
10 pounds back and Im holding
m.v own."
Seven days a week Joy waits
in hi plan but ship-shape quar-
ters st the United Nations base

home from Panmunjom. where
the talks are held.
He waited now witli an occasion-
al glance at his little silver-handed
