statement he declared Specif1-
cally that so far as Russia was
concerned, the rights OF the
| Allies in Berlin would not be
affected in any way when the
time limit expired.
! Up to this point, the Allies
have ignored Mr.. Gromyko's
assurances. In their haste to
leave Geneva they seized upon
a propaganda speech made in
Moscow by Premier Khrush-
chev as demonstrating Russian
intransigence. Coming at a
most convenient moment, it
relieved them of the necessity
to answer Mr.. Gromyko's spe-
cif1c proposals in detail.
The Western tactic of putting
the worst possible construction
on the Russian plan has at
least succeeded to the extent
of inducing the Russians to
spell out more and more clearly
the limits of what they are
really proposing to do. And as
result the proposal itself has
become more and more in
teresting to some Western OBJ
servers as a point Of departure
when talks start again.
Would Defer Problems
If Mr.. Gromyko means what
he says, the net effect of the
Russian proposal would simply
be to put the Berlin issue on
ice for at least 10 months and
possibly considerably longer.
Although major problems would
remain unsolved they would be
deferred to a later date. And
in the meantime the status quo
with certain notifications
would be respected.
If this is what the Russians
really are offering on Berlin 1t
is hard to see how the allies
can very we'll refuse to even
consider it. The alternative, as
Mr.. Khrushchev has pointed
out frequently, is Russian ac-
ton now to sign a separate
peace treaty with East Ger
many which would, in his view,
automatically invalidate West
ern rights in Berlin. Exactly
the thing, in short, which the
Russians are saying they will
not do 10 months from now II
their plan is accepted.
One serious difficulty in &C
cepting the Russian plan, as in
terpreted by Mr.. Gromyko, is
that of making any concessions
in return for temporary guar
antees. The one thing the Allies
would not have at the begin
ming of a renewed negotiation
18 months from now are the

chimes, which the Air Force
rented from IBM. The value
of these machines was origi-
nally given out by an Air Force
spokesman as $50 million, but
this was erroneous. Norman j.
Wendler, Washington repre-
sentative in charge Of IBM con-
tracts with the Air Force, said
the cost Of the destroyed ma
chimes actually totaled So
million.
The Air Force pays a total
rent Of $2.4 million annually
for the machines, plus other
equipment, spare parts and
maintenance.
Asked If 1t wouldn't be
cheaper to buy than to rent.
Col. Gray said that question
had been studied continuously
but for many reasons 1t had
been concluded that rental was
more economic in the long run.
He said the equipment was
constantly being changed and
improved and that, on a rental
basis, the Air Force would get
the newest without being stuck
with older machines. In addi-
ton to obSolescence, he said,
the type Of statistical informa-
ton sought also changes and
the machines have to be
changed to keep up with the
new demands.
GSA, said Col. Gray, has re-
ported it can get the computing
center ready for occupancy
within 80 days and IBM will
be ready to install its equip
ment as soon as GSA completes
its work.
In the meantime, nearly half
OF, the 453-man staff Of the
statistical division will be
housed elsewhere. About $50 Of
them will be working in a ham
ger at Boiling Field and an
other so will be housed tempor-
arily at the old Family Serv-
ices Center and the Wing Head
quarters building at Boiling.
Those not in the actual
burned-out area will go to their
usual places tomorrow. The
Pentagon said all employees
have been notified Of the sched-
uled changes.
Meanwhile, both private in
duStry and Government in
stallations have moved in to
help the Air Force get on with
it's statistical work. Col. Gray
said offers of time on machines
similar to those destroyed
have come from Chrysler Corp.
in Detroit. the Bureau of Per-
sonnet of the Navy, the Army.
the David Taylor Model Basin
and CEIR, a private computer
center close by the Pentagon
which has offered time on its
own machines as well as space
to install another machine.
Col. Gray said Remington
Rand had offered program
. ming help to shift the work to
its machines, but he does not
think this will be necessary.
He emphasized not only the
cooperation he has gotten
from these sources but also
from Pentagon employees who
came to work on the holiday
and got begrimed in helping
to clear up the mess left by
the fire.

President Fillmore laid the cor
nerstone of the House and Sem
ate wings, the Nation was no
longer in its infancy.
On that day a proud Daniel
Webster extolled the progress
of the United States since 1893
from Is States TO 81; from
200 post Offices to $1,000 from
IS colleges to 694-and why 1t
had become necessary to en-
large the Capitol building.
Again this ceremony repre-
sents growth. America has
come a long way since the lay
ing of the 1851 cornerstone.
Yet it is somehow unneces-
sary to commemorate this &C.
caSion by reminding ourselves
of the bare statistics of cultural
and material growth-for ex-
ample, that our Nations col
leges and universities have
grown from 694 to 1857.
Meaning Of Day
Rather, we come here today
to remind ourselves OF our
responsibilitieS-to the world
and to ourselves.
We come here to rekindle
our faith that this building
! the central home of Americas
representative government, will
house wisdom, understanding
and compassion for all people
Finally, we gather on this
Fourth of July-as our fore
fathers did at Independence
Hall-more than nine score
years ago-to emulate them
as they pledged their common
adherence to basic principles
and their common obligation
to uphold these principles re-
gardless of differences OF
opinion. even of policy.
So long as we never waver
in our devotion to the values
on which these men began the
building of the Nation, no dit
ferences of partisan policy OF
partisan feeling can cause
America to falter on her up
ward course.
AS we now lay this new cor
nerstone in the United States
Capitol, we are grateful fol
the courageous beginnings Of
a new Nation, represented by
the first stone; for the pioneer
ing effort and the bountiful
growth represented by the
/ second: and for the confidence
that if we make ourselves
worthy, this third stone will
forever symbolic Americas
unending purpose to leao
along the path toward peace
with justice for all peoples.

1--WE are here today for the
ceremonial laying Of a corner
stone-a ceremony that has
twice before marked the history
Of this building, the Capitol of
the United States Of America.
BY this symbolic gesture we
DO more than to recognize and
provide for new needs resulting
from national growth. We re-
dedicate ourselves to the prin-
ciple of representative govern
ment. We reaffirm our devotion
to the values upon which this
Republic rests.
These values, unequivocally
stated in the Declaration Of In
dependence, in our Bill of
Rights, and in other parts of
that remarkable document, the
American Constitution are
both the hallmarks and the
hand tools of freedom. In a
free society they must be priced
and they must be used. lest
freedom wither.
In the collision of ideas be-
tween freedom and despotism,
freedom is neither won nor
held in a climate of spiritual
stalemate. Its preservation is
a many-sided and reverend
ing task.
COmplacency Is a Danger
Complacency today speeds
the erosion of liberty tomorrow
Inertia will destroy it; dynamic
dedication assures its lasting
vitality.
On this Fourth Of July, 1873
years since our Nation en-
barked on its course of in
dependence, we are reminded
that our Declaration of indie
pendence did more than gall
vanize the idea Of freedom for
Our own people.
THE generation that pro-
duced our Declaration of indie
pendence," said Lincoln. meant
to set up a standard maxim for
free society which should be
constantly looked to, constantly
proximated, and thereby con-
stantly spreading and deepen
ing it's influence and augment
ing the happiness and value OF
life to all people Of all colors
everywhere"
Each of these three corner
stone ceremonies has marked
stages of Americas evolution.
In 1893, when President
Washington laid the corner
stone of the original Capitol
building, a young but vigorous
Nation was struggling into po-
licial existence.
