Defense

The President, in his previously
submitted military budget message
and in other public statements,
has emphasized the need to bolster
Americas non-nuclear forces. His
few modest recommendations,
made earlier, did not appear to
some observers to match his words.
Now, Mr.. Kennedy has asked for
more and almost certainly will
get it from Congress. This, in
cludes money for 10000 more
Marines, for a total OF 100000,
and $100 million to begin pro-
curement of modernized conven-
tional arms and equipment for a
more mobile Army, reorganized
into new-type divisions.
BY executive action, the Pres
ident has directed the rapid ex-
pansion of para military opera
tions and non-nuclear warfare

500 million of existing funds for
such things as air and amphibious
transportation and development

Army to field 10 reserve divisions,

France and the Algerian
Nationalist rebels met last week
in the small French town of

end to the war which so far has
killed thousands Of persons and
cost billions of dollars.
In the six and a half years
that the French and Algerian Ma

cation between the two sides vir-
tually has broken down. So many
promises have been broken and
so many treacherous acts COM

negotiations started out slowly
and cautiously last week.
Both sides weighed every word

Space

Perhaps the most dramatic and
with little doubt potentially the
most expensive, proposal flows
from Mr.. Kennedy's flat decision
to take on the Soviet Union in the
race to the moon.
He called for $531 million more
this coming year for the effort he
believes will enable us to send a
man to the moon and return him
safely before 1870. (He also called
for the spending Of $3.50 million
more for other space equipment
and vehicles)
The President, after indicating
that his decision was based largely
on the Importance he attaches to
the psychological prestige gain
to be registered by the nation
which first conquerS the moon,
cautioned Congress and the peo-
pie that he is asking for firm
commitment.
1t will take many years and
involve very heavy costs"-$7 to
50 billion over the next five years,
he said.
Perhaps even more important
for Congress to consider, the pro-
gram will, in his words, demand
"a major national commitment Of
scientific and technical man
power, material and facilities, and
the possibility Of their diversion
from other important activities
where they already are thinly
spread"
While Congress probably will go
along with the moon plans, some
Republicans wondered whether
more money might be better spent
on our military forces if we and
the free world are to remain
secure.
On the other hand, some liberal
Democrats and West Europeans
contended that to spend such
huge sums-the final cost for the
moon adventure could reach $50
billion - and not vote adequate
money for needed domestic pro-
grams, such as better schools,
housing and medical aid to the
aged hardly makes good sense.

that bold action is required if

How Radical?

The Kennedy recommendations,
which already have provoked OPP
position in some particulars from
the conservative coalition of Re
publicanS and Southern Demo-
Gratis, are being described by some
as Spectacular" Perhaps. But
they are not radical, unless one
considers the spending Of large
new sums Of money, in itself,
radical.
The major areas taken up in
the presidential message included
economic and social progress at
home and abroad; defense, mill
tary and civil; disarmament and
space.
In the main. the Kennedy ap-
proach is to expand, improve, re-
organize or reorient existing
programs rather than introduce
entirely new ones.

fiscal year. No one can say for
certain what they will cost even

Some Incitement

There were, without question,
elements of incitement and provo
cation in the Alabama disturb
ances.
The riders" and the Congress
for Racial Equality '(CORE), who
organized them knew the passion
ately held feelings and old customs
in the Deep South.
In fact, the CORE chief, James
Farmer, who rode in a bus es-
corted by Alabama police, may
have unintentionally lent support
to charges that the riders" ac-
tually wanted to provoke incidents
when he told newsmen:
I'VE are saying we don't want
this protection. We have come
prepared to take the risks"
Although. unlike President Eli
senhower in the 1857, Little Rock
school integration crisis, President
Kennedy did not use Army troops,
he permitted his brother, the At
torney General, to dispatch Fed
eral marshals.
There is little reason to believe
that white Southerners like the
presence Of these civilian-attired
officers any more than they did
the troops, but the firm Kennedy
action brought Alabama Official
dom to more sensible frame of
mind. Gov. Patterson declared
martial law in Montgomery, called
out National Guard troops and
helped restore order.
Late in the week, the Attorney
General spoke of the racial crisis
to so nations over a Voice of
America hookup. He told of Negro
gains over the last 80 years and
said that colored man could be
elected President in the next 80
or 40.
Doubtless the Kennedy broad.
cast was prompted by the almost
unanimously unfavorable reaction
to the race crisis in the world
press. The Soviet Union, Ccmmu-
mist China and even South Africa
trumpeted the news from the
Deep South for varying reasons,
to be sure.

Rights:
A Bad Week

Federal marshalS, dispatched
by Attorney General Kennedy,
and Alabama National Guards
men helped restore order after
racial riOting rocked MOntgOm-
cry. But tensions remained high
as Freedom Riders continued
tests of bus depot segregation
in the Deep South.
Gov. John Patterson, &c.. was
elected to his high office in 1858
on a platform pledging a fight
against efforts at racial desegre-
cation in Alabama.
From statements he has made
since his election on integrationist
moves in his and in other States
of the Old Confederacy, this early
supporter of Presidential Candi-
date John F. Kennedy, indicated
that he intended to redeem his
promise.
Last week, mobs in a few sec
tions of Alabama stirred bloody
and dangerous racial violence
which embarrassed the Nation,
grieved our free world friends and
delighted our Communist enemies.
The Governor, despite forewarn-
ingS of trouble, did not act effec-
lively to bar it, either in Birming-
ham and in Montgomery. AS a
result, the Federal Government
was required to act to protect the
indisputable right of the so-called
Freedom Riders, racially mixed
groups organized in New York and
coming mostly from Northern
States. to make an interstate
transit through Alabama.
However, it was suggested by
some observers that, although they
had legal right to travel as they
did, the Freedom Riders must
share part of the blame for the
ugly incidents. Does one wave a
flag in front of a fighting bull
and not risk being gored?

Trouble Points

Troubling the President is Rus
sian intransigence at the Geneva
talks on banning nuclear testing
and on settling the Laotian
crisis.
At both tables, the Soviet Union
Is echoing the veto doctrine that
Mr.. KhruShchev first enunciated
at the United Nations last fall.
The doctrine states that the
Communist bloc, the Western
powers, and the neutral countries
should be represented on any in
ternational control group. Any
decision of the group would have
to be unanimous.
Thus the nuclear test ban talks
have begged down because Soviet
negotiatorS demand a veto on any
control machinery that might be
set up. The United States prefers
a neutral czar to administer the
machinery.
In addition, the Russians have
said the Communist bloc must
have a veto on any commission
that would be charged with
guaranteeing the neutrality of
Laos.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
New Program for U. S.

President Kennedy, in a spe-
cial message delivered in person
before a joint session of Con-
greSS, called for the expenditure
of new billions to win the space
race, strengthen our ability to
fight nOn-nuclear wars, increase
foreign aid, refrain workers and
build fall-Out shelters.
The President, speaking in seri-
Gus if not somber tones, jabbed
the conditioned air of the House of
Representatives elegant chamber,
filled as only a joint session can
fill it.
Senators, Representatives, cabi-
net members, foreign diplomatic
officials and gallery-goers listened
with solemn attention.
"These are extraordinary times"
Mr.. Kennedy declared. I'VE face
an extraordinary challenge"
Thus, he explained his presence
and the expanded programs he
offered for advancing the free
dom doctrine" around the world
in the face of the growing Com
munist menace.
The Presidents address was, in
fact, a second state -of-the- Union
message. 1t was a message written
after the educational experience
of four months in the White House
and new evidences of the implac-
able war being waged on freedom
by world communism.
Evening star., 1961-05-28
Economic

The President had his cheeriest
comment on the state of the
American economy since his in
auguration. The recession has
been halted" he said. Recovery
is under way"
But, because there is still large
scale unemployment, some of a
chronic nature, steps must be
taken to eliminate this major
social evil" and source of ma
tional weakness" And long range
economic growth must be en-
couraged.
His proposal: Refrain several
hundred thousand workers in new
Skills, adopt a tax-incentive plan,
increase the lending capacity of
the Small Business Administration
and help ease credit.
The President, who has often
been needed about his failure to
tell the people the sacrifices they
must make in this time of peril"
made a point to list some he
thought were real and necessary.
For example, he cited the need
to practice democracy at home;
to use restraint instead of push
ing up wages and prices; to re-
fraip from overproduction of farm
products; to bar the disclosure of
military secrets and unnecessary
work stoppages; to pay higher
postal rates asked of Congress by
President Eisenhower last year to
no avaiD; to keep physically fit,
and to serve the Government in
the Peace Corps, armed forces or
civil service.
But many felt that the Presi-
dents list did not include any
major new sacrifice which the
great bulk of the people would
be required to share.
This feeling was buttressed
when. despite the fact that his
recommendations would increase
the prospective fiscal 1862 deficit
to $3.5 billion, Mr.. Kennedy said:
Il am not requesting additional
taxes to finance the very urgent
requests I am making today-for
our present tax structure and
resources are more than sufficient
to support them without a budget
deficit if our economy moves
ahead"
Guns and butter and rosy
dreams? Many members of Con-
greSS, it is certain, fear an even
worse deficit than predicted and
will not go along with the whole

President Kennedy made final
preparations for his trip to
Europe this week. He will meet
President de Gaulle in Paris
on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, and then travel to
Vienna for weekend talks with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev. The
President will fly to London to
confer with Prime Minister
Macmillan before returning
here.
John F. Kennedy likes to tell
about the time Samuel Adams
confronted the British Colonial
Governor after the Boston mas
sacre and warned him of the
coming American Revolution.
Adams later wrote in his diary,
1T was then that I fancied that
I saw his knees tremble."
There is no reason to suppose
Nikita S. Khrushchev's knees will
tremble after his conformation
with the President next week end,
but the Communist leader should
at least come away from the
informal Vienna talks with no
doubts about Americas intentions.
He should know, in the Presi-
dents words, that "our patience
at the bargaining table is nearly
inexhaustible, though our credulity
is limited-that our hopes for
peace are unfailing, while our
determination to protect our Sc
curity is resolute."
He should know also, as the
President has said, what he is
up against-so that he does not

underestimate our resources"
