1t is for this reason that
the De Gaulle victory which

warmly welcomed in Wash

is not an easy customer. 1t
is realized here that if the
fate of the United States
alone were placed in jeopardy
he is unlikely to bulge. But
the fate of Germany is
closely linked these days with
that of France and the rest
of continental Europe. Hence,
the men in the Kremlin will
have to consider that angle
and De Gaulle'S stubbornness
in their present planning.
The Soviet Premier realizes
that if the French are the
first to take a strong stand
over Berlin, we will follow
suit without harm to the
political partisanship in the
United States.

Politics and Defense Secrets

Americas confidence in her
deterrent power, but all this
is brushed aside as Senators
or Representatives emerge
from committee sessions tell
ing the world that what they
have heard confirms" their
impressions" Mr.. Gates, in
his latest statement to the
Senate Subcommittee on Ap-
preparations yesterday, said:
Our retaliatory forces are
capable of carrying out their
assigned missions. Manned
bombers are still, for both
ourselves and the USSR, the
primary means of delivering
heavy nuclear weapons in
the volume and with the ac-
curacy needed to strike a
decisive blow. In this cate
CORY the United States far
excels the USSR. E.
"On the basis Of all pres
ent indications, however, the
advantage they (the Soviets)
might attain in numbers of
long-range missiles would
fall far short Of providing
rational support for a deci-
sion to attack. He would
simply be inviting his own
destruction
"In short, because of the
versatility and strength Of
our overall retaliatory ca
pability, the numerical ad-
vantage that the Soviet Un-
ion may attain in long
missiles-which is likely to
be greatest in 1962-will not
produce a gap in our deter
rent power. This is not my
view only; it is the view Of
our principal military and
scientific advisers"
Gen. Nathan Twining,
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff, also told the same
committee that our military
chiefs do not do strategic
planning in en intelligence
vacuum"
But how effective can such
statements be as long as the
partisans think they can
gain votes by soaring the
American people into a belief
that our defenses have been
bungled. 1t means, to be
sure, telling the Soviets that
we are weaker than we really
are. Partisan politics has
reached a new low in Amer
lean history.

French Presidents Victory in Algeria
Shows Firmness on PRINCIPLES Pays

President Charles de
Gaulle's firm stand and ac-
ceptance Of a calculated risk
to his beloved France and
himself have demonstrated to
other political leaders in the
West that resoluteness and
refusal to yield on principles
pays dividends.
De Gaulle risked civil war
in his struggle against the
insurgent "colons," despite
their enjoying the sympathy
of the 500,000-man French
army, and won. He thus
emerges even more than in
the past as the strong man
of the free world.
The troublesome Algerian
problem is now on the way
to being solved. The betting
in diplomatic quarters in
Washington is that when it
is finally settled the Algerian
Arabs will want to remain
within the French common
wealth, rather than accept
the uncertainties and diff
f1culties Of complete inde-
pendence.
But the emergence of De
Gaulle as the indisputable
leader has a much greater
implication to us because of
the difficulties which are ex-
pected to rise in Europe this
summer. According to reliable
intelligence received in
Washington, Prime Minister
Khrushchev is expected to
drop one of his political
bombshells in midsummer
when the election campaign
is beginning to get hot. Ac-
cording to these reports, the
Soviet boss intends to rec
ognize the East German
puppet government, with
draw Soviet troops from
Germany and leave to the
discretion of the Pankow
regime the control Of the
lines of communication be-
tween Berlin and the West.
Mr.. Khrushchev plans to
put into effect the threats
contained in the ultimatum
served on the West in Novem-
ber, 1858, despite the efforts
made by the Western powers
to placate him by agreeing
to a summit conference and
cajoling him by an exchange
OF visits. His political bomb is
expected to be exploded after
President Eisenhower has
completed his state visit to
the Soviet Union. The ideal
time for such a coup would
be. of course, during our elec-
tion when a strong stand
involving serious risks is con-
sidered unthinkable by politi-
cal leaders Of both parties.
If the administration were
to take the strong measures
Of which we are capable at

by the opposition as reckless
with the holy cause Of peace.

GUS in the big make-or-
break States.
Senator Johnson's recent
comments may not have re-
assured the North, but they
raised some eyebrows in the
South. Members of Con-
gress acknowledge that they
are advising State leaders to
put a damper on pro-John-
son sentiment until the civil
rights issue is settled.
While it is new to have
a Southerner running hard
for the presidency - Senator
Kefauver's Tennessee is re-
garded as a border State
the tactics now being en-
ployed to protect the South's
position are not new. Nor is
Senator johnson quite as
paQly trapped as might ap-
pear on the surface.
For the Texan is by all
odds the most conservative
candidate available to his
party this year. He says he is
a centrist or moderate but,
however he may describe
himself, his rivals are clearly
to the left of the positions
he has long been taking.
Conservative Southerners
therefore cannot get a more
conservative candidate than
Senator johnson among
Democrats nor can they ex-
pect Vice President Nixon to
drag his feet on any wide
range of issues including
civil rights.
In fact, the South is in
much the same position with

In an election year bigotry

Eloquence of Russell and ToImodge
Not Dimmed by Nearly Empty Gallery

The Senate galleries were
almost empty when Sena-
tors Russell and Talmadge

rights proposals. 1t did not
dim their eloquence for
their audiences were else

Senate Majority Leader
johnson of Texas. Senator
johnson is credited with a
large bloc of convention
delegates, nearly all of them
from the South. What Sen
ator Russell was limiting to
him was that the old solid
South might just happen to
be a misnomer this year, de-
pending on how it is treated
in the civil rights matter.
The moment Senator
Johnson's presidential aims
were acknowledged by his
friends, it was apparent his
major problem would be to
negotiate a safe civil rights
passage between the North
and South. 1t is the only

DAVID LAWRENCE

The United States is having
a hard time fighting the cold
war" nowadays because, when
it does gather secret informa-
ton as to a potential enemy's
intentions or planning, there
are members of Congress who
insist on having it revealed in
some form.
Allen w. Dulles, who is di-
rector of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, is repeatedly
called before Congress to tell
what his agents and repre-
sentatives behind the Iron
Curtain have found out.
Naturally, the Soviets are in
terested. For it has an i'm
portant bearing on their own
plans - to learn how much
America knows about them.
What Mr.. Dulles says be-
hind the closed doors of the
congressional committees is,
of course, not made public,
but as the members go forth
they are met by the press.
The members then give their
impressions" of the testi-
mony. These might be parti-
san interpretations designed
to discredit the administra-
ton as not being efficient in
its planning, but the United
States Intelligence Agency is
unable to point out in rebuff
tai wherein wrong inferences
are being drawn. To do so is
to tell the SovietS exactly
what the Central Intelligence
Agency really knows of Soviet
planning.
So there is resort to gen.
eralities, and it is in this area
that the politically minded
take advantage of the neces-
sarily vague statements that
have been made. Allen Dulles,
emphasizing some of the
difficulties, said in a speech
in New York last week:
"In our estimates we gen.
orally stress capabilities in
the early stages of Soviet
weapons development, and
then, as more hard facts are
available, we estimate their
probable programming, some
times referred to as inten-
tions. =.
THE fact that in the later

conflne itself merely to dip
lomatic protests, as during
the Hungarian rebellion, it
would be denounced by the
opposition as being soft on
the Communists.
Mr.. Khrushchev knows that
during the great political
game which will be played by
both parties in the months to
come decisions involving risks
and strength are highly
unlikely-Short of actual on
slaught on our territory itself.
He and his military advis-
ers realize that despite the
hot controversy over our mill
tary strengthen which poll
tics does not play a small role
the American military pos
ture is such that an actual
challenge might be more Ger
tainly fatal to Russia and in
ternational communism than
to us. But the Russians are
also aware that because Of
politics during this election
year a marginal demonstra-
ton in such a key spot as
Berlin might make it difficult
for the United States to live
up to its commitments.
The matter of a Berlin
solution unquestionably will
be raised by Mr.. Khrushchev
at the summit meeting in
Paris in May, although it is
obvious that the most that
can be expected from the Big
-Four gatherings is an agree
ment that they should meet
again in the near future. 1t
appears that Mr.. Khrushchev
will not press the question
during the summit meeting
in order to leave himself a
free hand to settle it in his
own way while we are in the
throes of an election cam
paign. His explanation is
likely to be that the Ger
man Democratic" Republic
could wait no longer. Those
who have studied intelligence
reports say this would be in
keeping with the Red policies
which have not budged one
iota despite the smiles and
pleasantries Mr.. Khrushchev
has displayed recently. Actu-

respect to Senator johnson
that the Republican right
finds itself in with Mr.. Nixon,
now that it has helped to ell
bow Gov. Rockefeller out of
the picture. Neither group
has any place else to 60. It
is entirely safe for Mr.. Nixon
to WOO the left and Senator
johnson can make conces-
sions toward it.
This is what they are doing.
Since both rank high as polit-
'ical technicians their opera
tions are not crude but nei-
ther are they hard to discern.
Senator Kennedy has been
attempting to take advantage
of the apparent strength of
Senator johnson by insisting
that he is his real rival. This
in effect represents a warn
ing to liberals that they
should settle promptly for
Senator Kennedy or they will
get the only conservative
candidates.
Senator Johnson's formi-
dable reputation for getting
results serves in some quar-
ters to bolster the Kennedy
argument, and suggestions
are heard that both should
be on the ticket after they
fight it out for first place. To
this supporters of other can
didates reply that they have
never seen an election won by
pooling the liabilities of two
candidates to make a ticket.
So far this byplay is good
tempered with the candi-
dates able even to hold their
friends in check. But tensions
are increasing as the pre-
convention tests near.

Alobomions Honor Benedictine Monk,
Oppose That Religion in White House

In a recent annual State
wide dinner held at Tusca-
loosa, the Alabama Junior
Chamber Of Commerce chose
for their highest awards four
young men who had made
exceptional contributions to
the life of the State. One Of
the four was the Very Rev.
Bryan Egan, "a, a Benedictine
monk. president of st. Ber-
nard College of Cullman, Ala.
The awards were made late
on a Saturday night. The
news item was small, and an
item for the State wires. Yet,
in a real sense, it was national
news because this is a time
when the question of what
effect Senator Jack Kenne-
dy's religion will have in the
Deep South States is being
asked. But the answer is one
which perhaps only South
erners can understan d,
though even they cannot ex-
plain it, since it is all a part
of the complexity and some
times almost m a d dening
paradoxes of things labeled
Southern" So they can but
tell it.
In Alabama the Governor
sometime ago was sternly re-
buked by Baptist and Meth
odist monthly publications for
saying he could be for Senator
Kennedy. They made it plain
they did not approve a Cath
olic in the White House. Yet,
80 per cent of those who hon.
ored the young Benedictine,
with his wholesome, maga-
zine-cover face, his good will
and good works, were without

question members of Baptist
and Methodist churches.
Cullman, where the college
is, is overwhelmingly Protes-
tant. So is majority of the
student body. Ohhand, I
cannot recall any Deep South
Statewide organization
having chosen a Roman
Catholic priest to honor as
an outstanding citizen. To
be sure, in cities with long
established minorities of that
church, where political tick
cts often are balanced as in
the East with Protestant.
Catholic and Jew, popular
priests have been honored as
outstanding citizens. But this
was in Alabama, with the
Kennedy controversy in the
Protestant church press, and
where there almost certainly
will be no Kennedy delegates.
This is a part of the often
contradictory "mystique" of
the Protestant South. The
young Roman Catholic father
is loved and respected.
Nowhere do the people feel
hostility for Jack Kennedy.
They likely admire him.
They almost certainly re-
spect him for being a devout
member of his church. In
the silence of their heads,
and maybe now and then to
a friend, they will wish their
ministers were not so strait
laced and puritanical but
more relaxed and fun-loving
like the young Benedictine.
But when they think of
the White House they can't
see a Catholic there and,
almost always, this puzzles
them. They like Catholics
and the idea of Jack Ken
nedy being there wouldn't
worry them. The shadow of

years of development we can
crank into our estimates
more of the elements Of pro-
gramming and future inten-
tions than we can at the be-
ginning does not indicate any
change in the intelligence
approach to the problem. =.
There is no tendency in
the intelligence community
to underestimate Soviet So
phistication in any phase Of
the missile field, or the prog
ress they have been making
in developing their long
range missile system. We
have not downgraded this
system this year as con-
trasted with last year.
However, it would be Just
as wrong to let the Soviet
talk the world into believing
that the ICBM (interconti-
mental balliStic missile), pow
erful as 1t is, constitutes the
only armament with which a
country should equip itself.
I believe that the Soviets are
trying to take advantage Of
the publicity they have
achieved with respect to both
missile and space programs
in order to make the un-
sophisticated believe that
these achievements mean
overall superiority in the
military field. Such superior
ity, in the opinion of more
qualified experts than I, does
not exist"
Yet the newspapers are
filed with partisan claims
which are designed for the
American audience, but which
nevertheless tell the Soviets
that they are superior, that
they can destroy us and we
can't retaliate effectively, and
that the gap" is a matter
of grave danger to our safety
today.

Thomas S. Gates, on the
other hand, keeps on giving
