MOSCOW-Richard Nixon
and Leonid Brezhnev bar-
gained hard during their week
of summit talks, but they never
became belligerent and they
even learned they could joke
with one another.
"They've developed a re-
spect for one another," a Nixon
aide said. "They both came up
the hard way and they talk
each other's language. They've
even begun.to kid each other."
When 'a hitch developed in
the arms control talks, Nixon
told Brezhnev 'he had sent Hen-
7. Kissinger, his national secu-
rity affairs adviser, back to the
negotiating table to break the
"If Kissinger doesn't agree,"
joked the President, "you can

mits.
In 1959, Nixon did not utter a'
word without Brig. Gen. Ver-
non Walters, now deputy chief
of the Centr . ntelligence
Agency this side to interpret.
oS i i by before leaving Mos-
cow, President Nixon present-
ed a' Cadillac to Brezhnev, who
is a car fancier.
An American source said
the vehicle was a regular pro-
duction model, and a Nixon
representative took delivery of
it one hour after it came off the
assembly line.
Soviet President Nikolai
Podgorny and Premier Alexei
Kosygin were getting hunting

send him back to Siberia."
The tone of the past week was
far different from Nixon's visit
here as vice president in 1959.
There was no "Kitchen De-
bate" between Nixon and
Brezhnev as there was between
Nixon and. Premier Nikita
Khrushchev.
"While Nixon and Khrush-
chev became bitterly agrumen-
tative, these talks with Brezh-
nev are frank, sometimes
blunt, but they have never bor-
dered on the impolite," the
presidential aide said.
Nixon's triumph in Moscow
this time reflects more maturi-
ty and deeper understanding of
the Kremlin mystique.
Nixon's summit meeting in
Peking developed a new, intel-
lectual friendship with erudite,
mandarin Premier Chou En-
lai. Their talks were sweeping,
general, comparing philosophi-
cal views of the world.
The talks between Nixon, 59,
and. Brezhnev, 65, were termed
"more precise" by administra-
tion sources.
"Nixon feels confident he is
well prepared," one senior
adviser said while the summit
continued. "He's confident he
is here fn a position of strength,
living in the Kremlin while he
mines Haiphong harbor and
smashes the North Vietnamese
rail lines with his air power. He
also sees the South Vietnamese
improving their defense, in jus-
tification of his policies."
There was a small, yet sig-
nificant, public signal of
Nixon's new trust in the Krem-
lin.
During the summit he used

Of General Aide in Paris
Spec7el to The New York Times
PARIS, May 15-A group of
Americans in France protested
today the appointment of
,Brig. Gen. John W. Donaldson
as defense attache at the United
States Embassy in Paris.
General Donaldson, who took
command of the Americal Di-
vision shortly after the Mylai
massacre, was cleared by an
Army inquiry of charges of hav-
ing shot and killed six South
Vietnamese civilians from a
helicopter.
A statement in the news-
paper Le Monde described the
appointment as "cynical toward
American opinion" and show-
ing "an unfortunate lack of re-
spect for French opinion." It
was signed by the actress Jane
Fonda, the film director Wil-
liam Klein, Mrs. Alexander
Calder, - Prof. John Atherton,
Prof. Gabriel Kolko and Maria
Jolas, former editor of the bi-
monthly African magazine
Transition.
General Donaldson was re-
ported visiting a military base
in the South of France and
could not be reached for com-
ment. He recently was pro-
mated for defense attache, suc-
ceeding Maj. Gen. Vernon A.
Walters, who was named dep-
uty chief of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency.
