James B. Reston

An Inventory of the James B. Reston Papers at the University of Illinois Archives.


Previous: SUBJECT FILES

.

WORKING FILES    Reston's clerks created and maintained these file sequences, and they have been reconstructed in this group. Previously published source materials comprise the majority of this group, and the individual folders often contain scant amounts of correspondence, notes, or other unpublished source material. Nevertheless, these sequences do hold some speeches, correspondence, research notes, transcripts, memoranda, and unpublished reports. Though the sequences sometimes overlap and display wide gaps in chronological coverage, they have been assembled here as complete alphabetical sequences in chronological order. This chronology is based on the dates when Reston's clerks originally started these folders, and the contents of a folder may contain material from periods before or after the folder's creation. For instance, a clerk may have created a folder in 1952, which would place it in the "1951-54" sub-group, but the folder itself may contain documents from as early as 1947 or as late as 1988.

Confidential memo on the Suez Canal, Dec. 22, 1953   Drew Middleton informs Freedman of the British Government's fear of terrorist attacks against the British garrison stationed in the Suez Canal Zone. Middleton explains that these imminent attacks will be carried out by people in plain clothes and that there will be no formal Egyptian military action.
Freedman recieves report on America's involvement in Korea, Jan. 8, 1954   Bob Alden, writing from the Tokyo Correspondents' Club informs Freedman that despite the Pentagon's talk about the U.S. Air Force's increased striking power, there seems to be little evidence of it. Alden writes that there are no new weapons and that the American forces are hard pressed with their current arsenal to hold important island outposts.
New York Times stringer cables Freedman on the situation in Guatemala, Aug. 20, 1954   Julia Batre, stringer for the New York Times describes the political climate in Guatemala. She rues the fact that communism has planted firm roots in the country. But she also claims that while communism is gaining popularity among peasants and opportnistic congressmen, military servicemen - who have had their land taken away - and plantation owners pose legitimate impediments to communism sweeping the land.
Journalist Bob Alden expelled from Thailand; Reston believes the Ambassador to Thailand connived Alden's censure; he also writes about what he perceives to be the ambassador's violation of a journalist's rights., June 14, 1956 View.
Traveling Beyond the Iron Curtain, July 15, 1957   Harrison Salisbury of the New York Times criticizes the U.S. Government's seemingly arbitrary and outdated policies on Americans traveling to Soviet satellite nations.

Seymour Topping writes from Hong Kong, Apr. 2, 1964   Topping explains for his editors at the New York Times the advantages of reporting on China from Hong Kong. He claims that he has access to intellecutals, scholars and Chinese natives who might not otherwise talk in the closed Chinese society. He also says that access to the Hong Kong presses translates into access to information pouing out of the Soviet Union.
U.S. Generals Have Different Views on Vietnam Policy, Apr. 13, 1964   Hanson Baldwin reports that General Taylor is stubborn in his defense of the military's efforts to bolster the South Vietnamese government and train their troops to fight the war. General Wheeler, on the other hand, is, according to Baldwin, more pessimistic. Wheeler and many Washington insiders are in agreement that such measures are fruitless, will not win the war, and are merely "holding" initiatives for President Johnson, who is more concerned with domestic politics. Wheeler and others agree that a reevaluation of strategy is needed, but that it might not occur until after the '64 presidential election. Baldwin finds these views particularly interesting because Wheeler and Taylor have always agreed on Vietnam policy.

Reston expresses interest in delicately reporting the facts about Sen. McCarthy's allegations of subversion, Jan. 5, 1953 View.
Reston describes the current relationship between the CIA and the New York Times.

Gruson believes that negotiations are being hammered out in an effort to prevent the development of "two Chinas" and to agree upon political and economic fusion between the two entities., Feb. 1, 1957 View.

Gruson wonders whether the New York Times has written about the apparent holes in the case against Lee Harvey Oswald and Reston writes back, saying that since the Warren Commission will be releasing all of its information in full, there is no point in speculating, since such reporting will raise more questions than it could possibly answer., Apr. 2, 1964 View.
Gladwin Hill, 1953-59, 1962-64, 1966
Reporters cannot get access to military installations., Sept. 17, 1955   Hill complains to Reston about the military's public relations efforts to manipulate the media. He cites examples of reporters being denied access to facilities and notes how they are instead fed press releases and photographs taken by the agency in question.
Texas Primary falls only one day before Republican National Convention; Cause for intrigue, Dec. 22, 1955   Hill notes how the second Texas primary, which takes place at the end of August, was influential in 1952, and will be so again in 1956. In 1956, however, the primary falls one day before the Republican National Convention, a scenario that Hill believes will lead to some last-minute fumbling among GOP leaders.
Hill writes Reston about how the 1956 candidates are mistakenly running solely on the popularity they earned in 1952. Reston agrees with the supposition and attributes what he perceives to be voter apathy to what Hill observed., May 24, 1956 View.
Hill complains that modern technology has made the candidates' speeches anachronistic; he says that no one learns anything new from the speehes because all the information has already been in the newspapers.

Catledge also speculates as to the possible implications of the political scenario in these two nations.
