When KhruShchev started to

There are those who say that
our intelligence agencies have
faltered badly - that what we
really need is not so much U-2

some down-to-earth intelligence
on what's happening inside Rus

No one will disagree with that.
Since Stains death, notwith-
standing considerable relaxa-

seem to be less and less informed

when we do find out, we seem to
have grown too rigid to make the |

PLANTATION for the incredible series
of mistakes that makes sense to
me is that in the panic Of pre-
pairing for a presidential election
we have lost our heads.
Just think back to what we
have done in recent weeks:
The President announces that
certain pressing domestic prob
lens might make it necessary to
absent himself from the SUM
nit conference, so he feels free
to send Nixon as his substitute.
This was an obvious build-up for
the Nixon-for-President move
ment. But Khrushchev quickly
said he would not buy it and as
serted, in typical language, that
it was like sending a goat to
tend the cabbage patch"
When called upon W captain
this obvious political gesture, the
President resorted to the flimsiest
of explanations: Congress might
do something in his absence that
requires veto, so he would have
to come home to study the situa- |
ton. No one bothers to answer
that all the data and even the ex-
perts could be flown to Paris.

A new intercom system
now available needs no wiring
and the user simply plugs it
is and talks. Conventional
wiring and installation pro-
cedureS are unnecessary.
One simply plugs the inter-
com unit into any AC outlet.
AS many units as needed can
be used because each is self
contained and capable of
originating and receiving
calls.
Among the major features
is a silent air squelch device
which filters out unwanted

This Intercom Needs No Wiring
By D. IA. DERWIN
Contributing Writer

A disposable dust mop, now
available, is discarded after
use, with no washing, or
shaking.
This mop is a special light
weight tool weighing less than
/ pound, with a cotton pad
which picks up dust like a
magnet, the maker claims.
With this dust mop there
is no need to clean or to shake
out a dirty mop, no need to
open windows or to have dirt
fly back into your face or the
house, or into someone else's
house.
After cleaning, when the
mop pad is soiled. simply re-
move and discard it and put
a clean refill pad in its place.
The replacable dust pad is
made of cotton batting.

United States. and notably
Western Europe.
If, for example, during the
period of the missile gap the
Russians we're to attack Europe
with nuclear weapons or con-
ventional forces. how would the
American deterrent work?
In this case the United States
would be in a position of invit-
ing almost sure destruction it
self in order to protect its allies.
In this case also the United
States would have to attack
first with inferior force against
Russian missile Launching sites
with the virtual assurance of
massive retaliation against
American cities.
Berlin Key Issue
Already, even before the era
of the missile gap. there is the
disturbing example of Berlin
for European leaders to brood
about.
For all the "firmness" of
Western resistance to Premier
Khrushchev's threats, there has
been plenty of soul-searching
over the key question of just
how far the West should be
prepared to go to defend the
city. And if it is not clear that
the United States would risk
nuclear war to save Berlin to-
day, where is the guarantee
of European security tomor-
row?

Missile Debate Here
Has Europe Worried
BY CROSBY s. MOVES
European Correspondent Of The Star

PARASITIC debate in the United States missiles has
special meaning in Europe.
In particular, the discussion of the missile gap"-and
the admission by United States Government experts
such gap will exist the next few years-has special
signicance highy nationaistic and often

misunderstood atomic policy of
Frances Gen. de Gaulle.
In the United States, the de-
bate boils down to the question
of whether the Soviet Union at
some time in the early l960s
will have such superiority in
missiles as to risk an all-out
surprise attack on the United
States.
Will Russia Strike?
In Europe, the problem is
perhaps less clear cut but no
less urgent. Given its inevi-
table missile superiority. will
Russia be in a position to risk
a military offensive in West
ern Europe without fear Of
American retaliation?
In the United States. a num-
Der of serious and informed
people are apparently not too
sure of the answer to the first
question. In Europe, even
greater uncertainty about the
answer to the second explains
the decision of President de
Gaulle to go ahead with an
atomic program for France
despite all difficulties and costs.
Surely. if there can be valid
doubts that an American de-
terrent will protect the United
States, there are far more valid
doubts that it will protect Eu-
rope.
Until now Western Europe's
security has rested on the
American nuclear deterrent
reinforced by the presence of
American troops in NATO.
These troops have provided the
best guarantee that the deter
rent would be used if Europe
were attacked. This. guarantee
is still subscribed to by most
European leaders. including
West German Chancellor Ade-
nauer. as the best that Europe
can expect in the forseeable fu-
ture. 1t has been an article of
faith since the beginning of
NATO that if Europe were
seriously menaced, the United
States would fight.
Faith Questioned
Gen. de Gaulle Is the first
European leader to question this
faith seriously. His attitude is
partly a matter Of personality.
His wartime experiences made
him automatically distrustful
of any situation in which the
fate of France depends ulti-
matelv on the determination
and the power Of another
country.
Beyond this, however. the
new problem of the missile gap
has particularly serious impli-
cations to those whose national
safety depends on American
deterrent strength.
In the course Of the debate.
as it has been reported in
Europe, the Administration has
argued that despite the lag in
missile development there
would be no corresponding de
terrent gap" so far as the
United States is concerned.
Even with an admitted super
iority in missiles, Russia could
not strike at the United States
itself without the strong proba- =
bility Of a Gripping counter
blow.
1t also has been pointed out
that a Russian attack would
presumably be directed against
military bases in the hope of
knocking out American retalia-
tory power. The counterblows,
on the other hand, would be
aimed at mass population CEN
ters Of Russia.
These arguments, all aimed
at emphasizing the continuing
deterrent value of fewer Amer
lean missiles and the Strategic
Air Force. may be sound enough
when what is being discussed is
an attack on the United States
itself. They are quite reverse,
however, when the problem is
one Of deterring Russia from an
attack on areas outside of the

Barrymore Romance
Detours Via Prison

ROME. Oct. 8 (AP) Bearded
John Barrymore, jr., son of the
late American actor, was cool
ing off today in Rome's Regina
Coeli Queen of Heaven) Jail
on the banks of the Tiber,
charged with insulting Italian
police.
Also in Jail were Gabrielle
Palazzoli, young Barrymore's
latest fiancee, her father, two
of her brothers and three other
Italian youths.
The trouble-latest incident
in Mr.. Barrymore's hectic Ro-
man life-began yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Barrymore, %, was in a
Rome street. An automobile
with five Italian youths-in-
Guiding two of Gabriella's
brothers who apparently are
not oVefJoyed at her engage
ment-came up to the actor.
Insults were exchanged. A
scuftle developed. Police inter-
vened and took the five youths
into custody. Mr.. Barrymore
fed.
Later, Mr.. Barrymore, Ca
griella and her father went to
the Rome district police COM
missioner's Office where the
youths were being held and
sought to obtain their release.
Suddenly Mr.. Barrymore ran
to the cells and tried to open
them to free the five. Police
grabbed him. There was a brief
scuft1e and hot words.

Runaway Girls
Are Found Here
With Fugitive

Two runaway girls and a
fugitive wanted in two cities
were found here yesterday by
police responding to a tip from
a 61-year-old man who had
paid for a hotel room for the
two girls.
Detective Sergt. Nicholas
Beltrante said Isaac Jestes, 26,
is being held because he is
wanted by police in both Ra-
leigh, N. c., and Charleston,
w. Va.
The Raleigh police want
Jestes for breaking and enter
ing, and the Charleston police
for escaping from jail, police
said.
They added that JesteS ar
rived here with two girls, one
16 and the other II, who were
runawayS from Hartford, Conn.
The girls left Jestes because
they were broke and struck up
an acquaintance with a 61-
year-old man, who got them a
hotel room, police said. When
the elderly man visited the
girls later in the hotel room, he
found JesteS, who told him to
leave. Angered by this treat
ment, the man called police.
TIL girls are being held in the
Receiving Home until they can
be returned to their homes.
