PARASITIC West is pre-
pared for q military show
down with the Soviet Union.
Such an assurance can be
obtained from the supreme
headquarters of the Allied
powers in Europe. which will
have the chief responsibility
for military operations.
The foregoing would not
be written today were it not
for the fact that Nikita
Khrushchev's speeches and
statements lately are ac-
cepted as a threat of war
that cannot be ignored.
Several times the Soviet
Premier has said publicly that
he intends to use military
force to compel the Allies to
get out of Berlin before the
end of the year. He has also
dashed any hopes that the
United Nations might resolve
the dispute over Berlin by
declaring that he would not
recognize" any U. N. decision
that is not in his favor, but
would use military force in
disregard of such a decision.
Thus, as in 1899, has one
man again told the world
that war is threatened.
Under the circumstances,
the Western allies can con-
slider that they have been
given notice Of an intention
to start q war against them.
What are the Western
powers doing about it? They
are studying their plans anew,
and it is no secret that they
do not consider the defense
Of Berlin by itself as desir-
able and that they do con-
slider that any military opera
tion in the vicinity of Berlin
will inevitably require action
in other areas bordering on
the Soviet Union.
It is important to clear the
air about the use of Con
ventional forces" The op-
erations that might develop
include the possible use of
tactical weapons with nu-
clear warheadS. Perhaps
the most authoritative state
ment about this is that made
recently by Gen. Lauris Nor
Stad, Supreme Allied Com
mander in Europe, when he

crossroads between East and
West. AS such, it is becom-
ing . clearing house for in
formation concerning Asia.
In Rome, one can find as
much interest in the Far
East as there is in Wash
ington; also a wealth Of in
formation unavailable readi-
ly at home. The occasion for
meeting Fasteners is not
lacking, and since they are
as q rule not handpicked by
governments to make propa-
ganda, nor constrained from
making critical statements
about the United States lest
they lose economic support
from us. these men speak
their minds freely.
One of the principal criti-
cisms I have heard recently
concerns middle and lower
echelon officials sent by
Washington. The point was
made that they are either
too servile, as is the case of
those sent to India and In
donesia. or overbearing, as
some of those sent to South
Korea, Wet Nam and PAX
istan. There was no grum-
bling about the ambassadors;
they, the contention was, are
mostly career men who carry
out the somewhat conflict
ing attitudes and philosophers
Of the State Department to
the best Of their abilities.
The main beef was against
the little Satraps" - the
minor officials, especially
those representing the many
alphabetical agencies - who
either make policies on their
own or fulfill the policies
framed by the fifth floor"
Of the State Department.
These policies. more often
than not, are in conflict with
the spoken words Of Presi-
dent Kennedy and Secretary
of State RuSK.

Undersecretory's Prestige Believed Hur1
For Coming Conferences Abroad

The timing Of the flap over
Undersecretary Of State
Bowles is wretched, and the
circumstances by which it
entered the public domain
cast q most unflattering light
on the process Of decision at
the White House.
The only person who can
claim any profit from the
situation is Gov Rockefeller
OF New York, President Ken
nedy's potential adversary in
1864. The liberals and inde-
pendentS who admire Mr..
Bowles would not find a shift
in Mr.. Rockefeller's direction
too difficult should they de-
eide that the President de-
spite his proclaimed identity
with their views, is person.
ally undependable.
At the moment the White
House is trying to put the lid
on this Pandora's box. Mr..
Bowles will depart on sched-
ule this week for a series of
regional conferences with
Ambassadors abroad which
will keep him out Of the city
for several weeks.
The object apparently is
to keep the question of his
future and what is equally
provocative, the problem of
his successor, out of the pub
lie dialogue until the Berlin
policy is framed and the cru
cial foreign aid bill ready for
Mr.. Kennedy's signature.

Friendly Critics Rap Our Little Sotrops'
And Faulty Intelligence Abroad

ing Of this criticism, Pakistan
was given as an example. It
was pointed out that when
the perennial trouble between
our Pakistan ally and the
unruly tribes across the
northern border in AfghaniS-
tan broke out again, Ameri-
can officials voiced their deep
concern because Pakistan
troops had been using Ameri-
can war material. The Sensi-
tive Pakistani government
was wondering why we had
supplied their divisions with
modern implements of war
if it was not for the defense
of their own country.
after ALL" said a free
Asian to this reporter, "the
Afghans are under Soviet in
fluence: and we assumed
that when you specified the
war materials were to be used
against aggression, the de-
fense of our own country was
included"
There is unanimous de-
light among representatives
of the free world over the de-
termination President Ken
nedy has shown on the Berlin
issue. These same personali-
ties wonder why we don't
display the same firInness in
other areas such as Laos.
They point out that 1t is an
old Kremlin trick to create
a major crisis in one area
while quietly reaping import
ant advantages in another.
Berlin and Laos are a perfect
example of this strategy.
When this reporter point
ed out that initially, when
the Laotian crisis first started,
we had been determined to
protect that little kingdom
but had been discouraged
from going too far by our
British and French allies, the
answer was, Maybe so. But

CONSTANTINE BROWN
A View of u. S. Shortcomings

that had you told Paris and
London that you will show
strength in that area, even
without their physical as
sistance, they would have
joined you in moral support
at least.
Your Asian policies are
those of Nehru. You seem
hypnotized by him and con-
slider him as the most inn
portant personality in Asia.
He could become just that
with the support you are Civ
ing him. And when Nehru
becomes the spearhead Of .
Asia, that entire continent
will become neutralist.
"As it is, the SEATO, like
CENTO. has become a mere
expression. Some new align
mentS may have to be found,
since in our belief Southeast
Asia is about to fall in the
Red orbit. Your policies and
the behavior of some of your
officials may lose the entire
continent. You have huge or
ganizations all over the
world. Yet you seldom know
what is going on.
For instance" added my
informant. II was in Seoul
early in May. / learned that
there was to be an Army coup
d'etat against the govern
ment of President John M.
Chang. His student-support-
ers, who had thrown out
President Syngman Rhee,
had set up a big rally for
May 20 at which time they
were to demand unification
with the North, neutraliza-
tion and the withdrawal of
all foreign troops-meaning
the two American divisions.
THE army leaders had to
act fast. They feared the
infection from the students
might spread to the troops.
And what did the Ameri-
can officials in Korea do?"
asked my friend. They tried
to slap down the generals"
Evening star., 1961-07-18

That wing of the party for
which Mr.. Bowles speaks is
the Presidents most depend
able ally in both these areas.
But MIR. BowleS has been
greatly weakened in the cru
cial assignment it has been
decided he should carry out.
The American Ambassadors
and the nations he visits will
. not now feel that he has the
confidence of the President
or the Secretary Of State.
The wound to his own pride
could be overlooked If he so
chose. but he is man of the
world enough to know what
has been done to his author
ity and prestige.
He has to go; the question
is when and where. His pres
ent impulse is to depart the
administration altogether.
It is still unclear just whose
idea it was to pick on Mr..
Bowles and thus annoy a
sizeable segment of the GUS
toners at this difficult mo-
ment with Congress still in
session for six to eight tense
weeks.
An attenpt is being made
to suggest that veterans of
the foreign service started
it because they resent his ef-
forts to shake them out of
their bureaucratic lethargy.
Perhaps they do resent him;
certainly Mr.. Bowles is an
idea man to whom old forms
are not sacrosanct.

DORIS FLEEsoN
Bad Timing on the BowIes Case

The theory does not gain
support from the identity of
the writer's who first gave
tongue to news that the Pres
ident was dissatisfied with
Mr.. Bowles. For they are the
rich and well born group -
contrary to Hollywood, such
reporters do exiSt-which by
reason of long acquaintance
or attendance at the same
schools are personally close
to the President. They tend
to reflect his views, or at
last all Washington so be-
lieves.
Thus it seems more prob
able that the conversations
reported originated from the
White House circle. From
then on, everyone is pick
ing his favorite villain or pet
hate. This is a long list but
former Secretary of State
Acheson and McGeorge Bum
dy are high on it.
The best light on it will
be shed when a successor is
appointed to Mr.. Bowles, the
betting now being that this
will not be done until after
Congress adjourns.
Another suggestion given
currency is that Mr.. Bowles
was deemed not loyal to Mr..
Kennedy because he opposed
the Cuban landings. He did
oppose them but with those
who gave Mr.. Kennedy bad
advice still in office, it would
be a curious paradox to Sug-
gest that they are loyal and
Mr.. Bowles is not and so
must go.

Ston Churchill have sprung to
his defense against a campaign
led by the independent Wood
ford Guardian to turn him out
Of the House of Commons as
too old and unrepresentative OF
his constituency.
The paper suggested the S6-
year-old statesman should be
elevated to the House of Lords

because he rarely appears in
Commons now. Moreover, he
lives elsewhere although he has
represented this district in the
Eastern London outskirts con-
tinually since 1924.

tirement as out of tune with

they think the old man should
give way he said. But as far
as we are concerned we think

About 20 boats were capsized
