Asks New Effort
In Test Ban Talks

Secondly, I now have a report
on the special panel on nuclear
testing. This panel has ex-
amined a broad range of issues
concerning our capabilities to
detect and identify nuclear
explosions. It has also gone
into certain technical questions
relating to nuclear weapons
development.
Although the report is made
up of highly classified material
and cannot be released for
that reason. I can say that
as far as I am concerned this
report has made me feel more
urgently than ever that with
out an inspection system of
the kind proposed by the
United States and the United
Kingdom at Geneva. no country
in the world can ever be sure
that a nation with a closed
society is not conducting secret
nuclear tests.
In view of this report and in
view of the deep longing of
the. people of the world for an
effective end to nuclear testing,
I am asking Ambassador Dean
to return to Geneva on August
"a, in an effort to ascertain
whether the Soviet Union is
now prepared to bring a safe
guarded test ban agreement
into being.
It is my hope that he will
succeed in convincing the So
Wet representatives that the
test ban treaty which we have
proposed and stand ready to
use as a basis for serious nego-
tiations is a necessary and ra-
tional means Of reducing the
likelihood of nuclear war, and
if we are successful, would be
an admirable beginning in the
long road toward general dis
armament,

Pleased at Response
To Peace Corps

Finally, I would like to say
that while we face many prob
lens about the world, one of
the most encouraging features
of our recent months has been
the wholehearted response Se
which so many young men and
women have given to the pro-
poSal for the Peace Corps.
We have an opportunity, par
ticularly in the area of teach
ing, to send hundreds and hun
dreds Of young men and women
who are skilled in this area
throughout the world, teaching
them English. And English
opens up not only a key of
communication, but also opens
all of the great cultural, his
torical, judicial areas which
have become identified with
the Anglo-Saxon world, and
which are so vital in these
difficult days.
I am hopeful, therefore, that
the Congress will support this
effort. It has had a most prom
Using beginning, and we have
an opportunity, If the amount
requested by the Peace Corps
is approved by the Congress, Of
having over 2,700 volunteers
serving the cause of peace in
1862, the fiscal year.

Partial Text Of Kennedy's Press Talk

FOLLOWING is a partial tert
of President Kennedy'S press
conference today:
The President: Good morn
ing. I have a few announce
mentS.
I read last week with great
interest the statement by Prime
Minister Macmillan, calling for
negotiations looking toward
Great Britain'S entry as a full
member in the European Com
mon Market.
lam gratified that this state
ment has been well received
by the governments that are
already members of the Com
mon Market, and by the Com
mission of the European Eco
nomic Community. The United
States Government, under the
leadership Of both parties, has
SteadfaStly supported the polit-
1cal and economic integration
Of Western Europe. We are
convinced that the continuing
progress Of this movement can
bring new vitality to the Allan
tic community, and mounting
strength to the free world.
During the progress of the
negotiations, the United States
will, Of course, give close
attention to the developments
affecting our economic interest,
and those Of other friendly
states in this hemisphere and
elsewhere.
The enlargement Of the
European Conn munity will
necessarily result on some
changes in the patteren of
trade, but the necessary ad-
justments can be greatly
facilitated If the European
Community builds on the
principles Of broad and increas-
ing trade relations with all
other nations. It is our hope
that progress toward this end
is being made during the
tariff negotiations under way
in Geneva, in which both the
European Economic Community
and the United Kingdom are
participating.

Sees No Big Change
In Khrushchev Talk

@. Mr.. President, in your
reading of Mr.. Khrushchev's
recent speech and statements,
have they increased, reduced or
left unchanged the chances for
a peaceful settlement of the
German problem?
A. I thought Mr.. Khru-
shchev restated the position
which he took at Vienna and
which he took in the Soviet
aide-memoire and that there
were no new proposals in that
speech. He did state his desire,
as I have done before, to have
negotiations on these matters
which are in dispute. and
can say that it is the strong
conviction of the United States
Government that every means
should be employed, every dip
lomatic means, to see if a
peaceful solution to this diff
cult matter can be achieved.
I think that we will, in the
coming months, as I have said,
use every device available to us
to see if we can reach an
equitable solution and to see
If we can get a more precise

Ready to Attend
Western Summit

@. Mr.. President, in connec-
ton with the Berlin crisis,
there has been quite a bit of
speculation about one or more
summit conferences. Could you
tell us what your attitude is
at this time toward summit
negotiations?
A. Well, the attitude which
I have held and still hold is
that no summit between East
and West is useful unless the
groundwork has been laid be-
forehand and which will insure
some success. AS far as a sum-
init of Western leaders, I think
that if it should prove impor-
tant in co-ordinating our policy
on any matter, Berlin, I think
that that meeting should be
held and 1 am prepared to do
so.
@. Mr.. President, during the
foreign aid debate, there has
been some concern expressed by
legislators based upon the re-
ports from Montevideo that
some of the Latin American
nations are not, apparently,
eager to institute the self-help
measures which you made a
condition of your program, and
that the administration may
not insist upon those condi-
tions. Do you intend to insist
upon those conditions?
A. We are prepared to make
a major effort in this regard
Evening star., 1961-08-10

and we are hopeful that other
countries who also have high
living standards will do so.
But Of course it would be COM
pletely useless unless an effort
were made by all concerned.
One Of the proposals which
have been made in Montevideo
which is of particular interest
is that under the aegis of the
Inter American International
Bank, that a study by inde-
pendent experts be made of
each country's economic plan
ming and progress, and it seems
to me that this is a great basis
for a hemisphere effort. We
are not interested in making
the contributions which 1 think
we have to make unless we feel
that they are going to improve
the life of the people.

Plans Effort in u. NJ.
ToControI Space

@. Mr.. President, after this
latest Soviet space effort. Sen
ator Long of Missouri, among
others, said that the real prob
lem was not our present space
effort but the lack of young
Americans going into science.
He pointed out that the Soyiets
are still graduating three times
as many scientists as we are.
Can you see anything that the
Government can do and is do
ing to help in this problem?
A. We are hopeful that we
can secure the passage of the
Aid to Education Act as well
as the NDEA, both of which Of
fer scholarships to talented
young men and women. and
that we can increase the num-
ber Of scientists who may be
graduated.
In addition, of course, we
have a good many very talented
scientists, but we did not make
a major effort in this area for
many years, and we are now
behind and paying the price of
having the Soviet Union exploit
a great propaganda advantage
now on three separate occasions,
with the flight of the Sputnik,
the flight of Mr.. Gagarin, and
the most recent one. They are
still, as I said before, many
months ahead of us.
Therefore, we can look for
other evidences of their su-
periority in this area. We are
making a major effort which
will cost billions of dollars. But
we cannot possibly permit any
country whose intentions to-
ward us may be hostile to
dominate space. What I would
like to see at the United Ma
tions and elsewhere is an effort
made to have space insured for
peaceful purposes. The United
States delegation to the Cen
eral Assembly is going to make
a major effort in that regard
this year.

Car Test Passed
By Eisenhower

GETTYSBURG, Pa. Aug. 10
(AP). - Former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower has
passed his drivers test with
flying colors.
I'm my opinion, he's an ex-
cellent driver" said State Po-
lice Corpl. Edward Gallagher
who administered the tests to
Gen. Eisenhower yesterday.
The former President passed
both an oral examination and
a road test at the State police
substation in Gettysburg.
Corpl. Gallagher said Gen.
Eisenhower easily answered 10
questions relating to the State
Motor Vehicle Code and per-
formed well behind the wheel.
Earlier. Gen. Eisenhower
passed a physical examination
which is required of new driver
applicants in Pennsylvania.

Says FuIbright
Performed q Service

So I think this is a continu-
ing matter which the Secretary
of Defense is giving attention
to, and there is no desire to
restrain or prevent any mill
tary man from speaking, but
what we are concerned about,
however, always is that they
not be exploited for any parti-
san purpose.
I think, basically, it is for
their own protection as we'll as
the protection of the country
So in answer to your question,
some of this arose because of
an NSC decision in 1858, which
placed special responsibilities
on them. I think it is, there
fore, an obligation upon those
who placed those responsible
ties upon them to clarity il
in such a way that the COM
mon interest is protected.
So in my Judgment, Senator
Fulbright performed a service
in sending his viewpoint to the
Department of Defense and ]
am hopeful that every member
OF the Senate on this and every
other matter will continue to
give the administration the
benefit Of their judgment. That
is why we are all up here.
@. Mr.. President, are you
satisfied that the United States
compromises and agreement ir
Punta del Este on the public
information program and the
committee of experts will not
weaken your Alliance for Prog
reSS program?
A. Well, we haven't con.
cluded the negotiations. So fal
I have been very satisfied with
what has been done, and ]
have the greatest possible hopes
for this meeting. I hope that
all of us will not get so occu-
pied with other matters occur
ring in this hemisphere that
we forget perhaps one of the
most significant meetings in
the history Of the Western
Hemisphere in this century is
now taking place in Monte
video, and if we can reach a
successful conclusion we can
come out of that meeting, all
OF these republics, with a real
hope that we can move ahead
in improving the life of the
people of this continent. That
is where the great struggle is
going on.
If we fail there, and If we
fail here in the United States
to recognize that this is the
issue to which we should now
be devoting our attention, then
the spread of communism is
and the failure of the free So
ciety-going to be far more as
Sured.
So I am hopeful that the
meeting will be successful. !
am hopeful that the country
and the people of this hemi-
sphere will look at what is
going on there, because that is

definition of the phrases and
words and thought which the
Soviet Union has used in the
matter Of Berlin, Germany and
Central Europe.
@. Mr.. President, I would
like to ask your judgment on
a passage in Mr.. KhruShchev's
speech. He says that in con-
nection with a peace treaty be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
East German government:
1--WE do not intend to in
fringe upon any lawful interest
Of the Western powers. Bar
ring of access to Berlin, block
ade Of West Berlin, is entirely
out of the question"
Is there a catch in this, Mr..
President?
A. I think you have to read
the speech in total. I believe
it was stated that we should
engage in negotiations with the
East Germans in order to
achieve the result which has
been suggested. There have
been a number of proposals
about the rights of the East
German government to control
access, and also to control the
territory of West Berlin and,
therefore, the speech should be
read in total.
But I do believe that we
should use, as I have said,
every means available to us to
make a determination whether
a peaceful solution can be
reached which will protect the
rights of the people of West
Berlin and our own rights.

Tells of Agreement
In Event of Incopocity

@. Mr.. President, as a matter
OF prudence in these tense
times, have you given any
thought to making formal
arrangements for the exercise
of presidential power in the
event that you might become
unable to function, sir?
A. Yes. I have entered into
the same kind of agreement
with the Vice President that
my predecessor, President t
Eisenhower, entered into with
Mr.. Nixon in the case of presi-
Dental incapacity or inability
to fulfill his constitutional
functions, and I will ask Pierre
(Salinger) if he could, at his
news briefing, put out a state
ment on what that agreement
consists of.
@. Mr.. President, in the event
that Mr.. Dean fails in his mis-
sion in Geneva, do you have in
mind any deadline or any pos
sibility of setting a certain date
when you will decide to resume
nuclear testing?
A. think we will be able to
tell almost Immediately whether
the Soviet Union has made any
change in its insistence upon
the troika and therefore a uni
lateral veto on any inspection
system.
We will be able, therefore, to
tell quite quickly whether there
is any prospect of success. and
If there is not Mr.. Dean will
come home and I will then
make the appropriate decisions.
@. Mr.. President, there has
been considerable argument in
Congress in recent weeks about
the proper role of military Of
ficers in educating the public
on the dangers of communism.
Senator Fulbright wrote a
memorandum on it. There have

Maximum Effort
In Space Is Cited

A. We are now attempting
to devote-we are spending as
much money and devoting as
large a percentage Of scientific
personnel, engineering and all
the rest. as we possibly can
to the space program. We are
constantly concerned with
speeding it up. We are making
what I consider to be q max
imum effort.
1t may be possible to improve
it as we go along and we will
attempt to do so. But we
asked for all the money for this
program that those in posi-
tions Of responsibility felt
could be usefully employed for
this purpose, because beyond
this we begin to get into di-
miniShing returns on personnel
and all the rest.
We may be able to improve
it and if we can, we will, but
it is our hope to make as large
as possible an effort.
@. Mr.. President, if fighting
should break out over Berlin,
that is, If peace efforts fail,
do you believe it can be limited
to a conventional war or
would it lead the use of nu-
clear weapons?
A. Well, we are hopeful we
would be able to reach peaceful
solutions to the problems.
@. Mr.. President, the Budget
Director testified at the Capitol
a week ago and said that your
administration was a little un-
happy with the policy planning
and the generation of ideas in
the State and Defense Depart.
mentS and cooperation be-
tween them. Can you tell us
what that problem is in a little
detail and what is being done to
improve the situation?
A. Well, I think he also ex-
pressed satisfaction that some
progress was being made. One
OF the problems, of course, is
that nearly every international
problem involves several gov
ernmental agencies. Certainly
the Defense Department, State,
and in many cases at least one
other agency.
Therefore, the problem of oc-
ordinating these different agen-
cieS in an effective way repre-
sentS a major problem of ad-
ministration. We have, Of course.
as you know. on a number of
the most important interna-
tlonal problems that we faced,
set up task forces which meet
frequently and render at least
weekly reports to the NSC, but
1t is a matter Of constant con-
Germ, though I think we have
improved our techniques re-
Gently.

been some orders issued in the
Defense Department on the
subject Of proper conduct Of
military officers in this matter
I wonder if you could give us
your views on this subject?
A. Well, Senator Fulbright
sent a memorandum to the
Secretary of Defense at the
request of the Secretary OF
Defense, and expressed his
views about a matter which is
Of course, of concern to the De-
partment of Defense. The
United States military, due to
one of the wisest actions of our
constitutional founders, have
been kept out of politics, and
they continue their responsible
ties, regardless of the changes
of administration. l have no
idea what the politics are of
the members of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, and I have appointed
two of them since have been
President. And I have no idea
what their views on politics are.
This is a most important pro-
lection for our country, and it
is an equally important pro-
lection for the military. 1t
prevents them from being ex-
plotted or Disseminated by po-
litical people in either body,
So, therefore, the problem al
ways is how can the military
remain removed from political
life and how can civilian con-
troll Of the military be effec-
lively maintained and at the
same time the military have the
right and the necessity to ex-
press their educated views on
some of the great problems
that face us around the world.

Plans Major Changes
In Aid Administration

"I' TTeSlQenC, several
congressional committees have
issued reports that were quite
critical of the handling of for
eign aid in the past in Peru
and Laos specifically, and they
centered much of their atten-
tlon on two or three individ-
uals, Mr.. Theodore Gillis, Mr..
Roland Atwood, and Mr.. Gra-
ham Parsons, who still have
some positions of some respon-
sibility in the Government. I
wonder if you contemplate or
your administration contem-
plates any action of removal
OF these individuals . if you
have any specific plans for
tighter administration of these
programs in the light of the
past record?
A. Yes, I am hopeful if we
are able to secure passage of
legislation now before the Con-
gress, that our administration
will be more effective in the
Congress, five new area admin
istratorS, and between IS and
SO new country heads, into the
administration Of foreign aid.
On the three names you gave
me, I am familiar with two of
them. One of them is an Am
bassador now to Sweden, and
the other is at work here in
the State Department. and I
am not informed about the
third. I am not aware of any,
thing in their records that
throws any question, of course,
on their integrity. and we are
satisfied that they can meet
the responsibilities which. they
now hold.
@. Mr.. President, would you
give us your views on the latest
hijacked plane incident involv-
ing
A. The Cuban one or the
American one?
@. Both.
A. Well, let me say that I
think it was my understanding
that the hijacking which took
place yesterday of the Ameri-
can plane was done-or at least
the information I had before 7
came in-by a Frenchman who
had been treated earlier this
year for mental alterations at
Bellevue. The hijacking a
week ago was done once again
by two men, one of whom had
also been treated for mental
weakness. It does indicate that
the lunatic fringe, those who
are desirous of seeing their
names in the paper and all of
the rest, have seized upon this
technique -.
Now, let me say that we are
or we have ordered today on a
number of our planes a Border
Patrol man who will ride on a
number of our flights, and we
are also going to insist that
every airplane lock its door,
and that the door be strong
enough to prevent entrance by
force, and that the possession
of the key be held by those in
side the cabin so that pressure
cannot be brought on the
members Of the crew outside
to have the door opened ..
@. There seems to be some
doubt in the country as to
whether the Russians really did
put two men in orbit around

Are you satisfied from the evi-
dence available to you that they
did do what they said they did?
