' . 0 \ Star Staff Writer Henry Kissinger, who is trying to make the White House an open house, for doves, had one to lunch yesterday. He and Eugene J. ) McCarthy, the 1963 peace candidate; spent a “gemutlich hour over trays discussing the movement of history, government institutions and the burden of bureaucracies. The visit came just 10 days after Kissinger received three peace militants named as co- conspirators in the Berrigan case. It suggests that the President’s national security adviser | is engaged in a little spring offensive of his ; own to present himself as a fiendly and rea- cMoMathy, who like his host, js a former professor, reports that the converSation was, as it is apt to be when old academics get to- gether, ‘“‘quite abstract.” Kissinger extended the invitation a week ago, before the startling news of the previous dove incursion had Jeaked out. He told his guest, whom he entertained in his West Wing office, that the visit was not the President’s idea. This was rather superfluous, as the Pres- ident is notoriously adverse to receiving dis- Senters under his roof . int Kissinger told McCarthy he had read with “interest the former senator’s recenf guest edi- tori fe magazine, the proposition of eM “ “aL APR 12 1971 APA 1 itt (We ——* which, was, that the Vietnam war ahd other féretpit policy disasters have occurred be- cause Presidents Juhnson and Nixon have made military de- cisions rather than the politi- cal judgments necessary in ‘such cases. There was no attempt on ei- ther side to proselytize about the war, which was, in fact, not specifically discussed. No Mention Of Barb Nor was there mention of a sharp thrust of McCarthy’s about présidential counsellors, made at a recent anti-war teach-in at Harvard, where Kissinger taught history until he became what Sen. Stuart Symington calls “the second most powerful man in govern- ment.” McCarthy had told a cheer- ing audience, which included some of Kissinger’s old friends and colleagues, that there was ‘“sqmething to be said about the medieval practice of exe- cuting or exiling counsellors who give bad advice.” ‘While I do not advocate this course,” McCarthy had said, “I have reservations about certain people, after giv- ing bad advice, being wel- comed back to the academic community.” Kissinger is sensitive on this subject. He winces at talk of following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Walt W. Ros- tow, who was denied re-entry at M.LT: after servic to Lyn- don Johnson, and repaired to the University of Texas, work- ing on the L.B.J. memoirs. ‘Best Generalizations’ Sometimes at dinner parties, Kissinger moans, “I do not think I would be happy at the University of Arizona.” - But at the Kissinger Mc- Carthy meeting, “Each _of us was Using his best gerferatiza- ———=) Sullivan Mohr .
