DAVID LAWRENCE

President Kennedy by his
television address has left
many members Of Congress
puzzled. What did he really
tell Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev? Is the United States
now committed to go to war
over the defense Of West
Berlin? Did Mr.. Kennedy
threaten war, or did he imply
that America would not take
any military steps if the
Soviet Union makes a peace
treaty with East Germany
and leaves the matter Of
Allied access to West Berlin
up to the East Germans?
The President was abstract
and general in his statements
on the air. He did not reveal
exactly what he said or what
Mr.. Khrushchev told him on
these vital issues.
Mr.. Kennedy, moreover,
didn't tell the American peo-
pie on Tuesday night about
the two memoranda on the
Berlin, disarmament and nu-
clear test problems which Mr..
Khrushchev brought to the
conference. Only after news
dispatches from Bonn dis
closed this yesterday did the
State Department confirm
that such memoranda had
been given to Mr.. Kennedy.
In his television address,
Mr.. Kennedy said that mo
new aims were stated in pri-
vate that have not been
stated in public on either
side"
Who is to be the judge of
the meaning of that state
ment, especially when there
is no record available even to
Congress on what was said
by either Mr.. Kennedy or
Mr.. KhruShchev? If nothing
new was stated and, as Mr..
Kennedy now says, mo major
decisions were either planned
or taken," then what were
the several hours of private
discussion about? Why was
the trip undertaken?
The President gave as his
reason that he wanted to
find out firSt-hand what Mr..
Khrushchev thinks. He did
not care to rely on what his
ambassadors or what Presi-
dent Eisenhower told him af-
ter many years of expert
ence with the SovietS. Also,
Mr.. Kennedy says he wished
to present our views directly,
precisely, realistically, and
with an opportunity for dis
cussion and Qualification"

President Kennedy's for
eign aid bill is under fire in
the Senate and his tax pro-
gram is mired in the House.
The most resourceful man
agement will be needed to
rescue them in anything like
their original form.
The President must wiring
the last possible dime for
foreign aid from the Senate
because the House will Ger
tainly want to do less, possi-
bly, much less. Thus the best
he can get from a conference
between the two houses will
be a compromise of the totals.
The basic difficulty is that
foreign aid has not been well
handled in recent years. All
Senators know it, and the
present Majority Leader
Senator Mansfield-was one
of the first critical voices to
be raised against the pro-
gram.
In an effort to meet ad-
mitted faults, the new ad-
ministration offered its legis-
lation in somewhat different
form. Its alterations have not
been well received; some al
ready have been eliminated
from serious discussion in
committee.
This kind Of general dis
satisfaction is hard to handle.
The White House is perfect
ly willing to expend its pa
tronage resources and other
means Of grace and favor,
but when even the most

which does so much to illu-
inmate even complex issues
Is lacking.
Yet reform Of the present
tax structure is basic to the
problem Of getting the money
needed for the conduct Of a
foreign policy which min
giles economic with military
aid all over the world. The
President made a brave start,
but progress is disappointing.
Apart from these major is
sues, little seems to attract
congressional attention, and
the session Is limping toward
an undistinguished close.

Lawmakers Reported Curious at What
Kennedy Said to Soviet Dictator

Yet hardly any details Of
what went on during that
discussion" have thus far
been revealed. If Mr.. Ken
nedy says he sought to state
Americas position precise
ly," it is important that the
Congress be told Just what
those precise" positions are
today. The few members Of
the House or Senate who
were "briefed" on Tuesday
afternoon at the White House
learned little more than what
was said by Mr.. Kennedy in
his television address.
The President added to the
mystery of why the meeting
with the Soviet Premier was
ever undertaken when he
said in his Tuesday night
speech:
Neither of US was there
to dictate a settlement or to
convert the other to a cause,
or to concede our basic in
tereStS."
One wonders whether the
President really felt before
hand, too, that there was no
use trying to Convert" the
Soviet leader to a belief in
peace-or anything else.
1t is evident, however, that
the issue Of peace or war
was discussed. In fact, there
is a hint or threat Of pos
sible war in the following
section Of Mr.. Kennedy's
speech:
But our most sober talks
were on the subject of Ger
many and Berlin. I made it
clear to Mr.. KhruShchev that
the security of Western
Europe and, therefore, our
own security are deeply in
volved in our presence and
our access rights to West
Berlin, that those rights are
based on law and not on
sufferance, and that we are
determined to maintain those
rights at any risk, and thus
meet our obligation to the
people Of West Berlin, and
their right to choose their
own future.
''Mr. Khrushchev in turn
presented his views in detail
and his presentation will be
the subject Of future COM
munications, but we are not
seeking to change the present
situation. A binding Ger
man peace treaty Is a matter
for all who were at war with
Germany, and we and our
Allies cannot abandon our
obligations to the people Of
West Berlin"

BIunders Blamed for Low u. S. Prestige,
But Confidence in Kennedy Persists
ROME. ItalY (RY Air

ROME, Italy (By Air MaiD
This reporter, returning to
the European scene Of his
early newspaper work after
three decades in Washington,
has noted that the patriotic
sensibilities of Americans are
in geometric proportion to
the distance from the shores
Of the United States.
Since before World War
II we had become accustomed
to the idea that America
could do no wrong. It was
Britain and France which
sold Western freedom down
the river when they sur
rendered to Hitler at Munich.
At that time our top leaders,
as well as public opinion,
bitterly condemned the yield
ing to the threats and
clustering Of the German
and, to a lesser extent, to the
Italian dictators.
Now the shoe is on the
other foot. The Europeans
are criticizing our policy Of
fear and our endeavor to
appeaSe the Communist
Moloch Just as they appeased
the NaZi Fascist combine
much to their sorrow.
AT home we freely de-
nounce the mistakes Of our
policy makers. But when we
reach foreign lands we bristle
when we hear open or covert
criticism Of WaShington'S
inept policies. And we prac-
tically choke with anger be-
cause there is no apt answer
to these criticisms.
Although this reporter has
been only briefly away from
the scene of our unbelievable
blunders he has had time to
learn from journalists, politi-
clans and diplomats that at
no time in our history has
American prestige been at a
lower ebb. He has not had
time yet to probe the actual
feelings Of the European
people in regard to our
policies.
1t appears that the some
times arrogant and sometimes
apologetic attitude Of the
non-political American trav-
eler is due to the subconscious
feeling that our leadership
though not our country-is
being looked down on by
many Europeans.
There is no doubt in the
minds Of American and Ital-
ian observers to whom this
reporter has talked so far
that the 100 days Of the
Kennedy administration have

next chapter the United States

But he said they have or

Pentogon Studying Plan
For Commend Control

Mr.. Mcnamara was described
as studying the Partridge pro-
-posal, but there was strong
doubt that he would adopt a
plan which might result in
bypaSsing of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
The task force, composed of
about 20 civilian and military
officials, was formed on Sep
tember / to make a survey of
systems of commanding and
controlling military forces.
Approval of a proposal for
a single chief of staff to re-
place the present Joint Chiefs
system would face several OBJ
staclSs. 1t was turned down in
the original consideration of
service unification legislation
and has been opposed by all
Secretaries of Defense since
the formation of the Defense
Department. Influential MEM
bers of Congress have rejected
such proposals.

Secretary of Defense McNa-
mara was reported to have be-
fore him today a recommended
tioh for the establishment of
a single commander for all
unified and other combined
service commands.
The proposal was said to
have been made by retired Air
Force Gen. Earle E. Partridge
who is chairman of a special
task force which made a study
for Mr.. Mcnamara of the COM
mand control system.
Pentagon Spokesmen would
say only that the task force
had completed the survey and
turned over reports to Mr.. Nc
Nannara.
However, it was understood
that the single commander
recommendation went beyond
the general framework of
recommendations by the full

Soviet Cog
In u. S. Seen
ByThurmond

SANTA MONICA, Calf, Nov
80 (AP) Senator Thurmond
Democrat of South Carolina
says. American military leaders
were muzzled on anti-Com-
munist statements on orders
direct from Moscow"
Senator Thurmond spoke
last night at a rally attended
by more than 1000 persons
He criticized those who he said
were chiefly responsible for
gagging the military and also
were responsible for the no
vim. policy of the State De-
partment.
He said the National Security
Council in 1858 issued a dice
tiXe urging the military to give
tougher anti-Communist train
ing, to troops and to conduct
seminars informing civilians of
the. dangers of communism.
"When it appeared that this
program was making tremcnd-
GUS progress so much progress
in fact-the Communists in
Moscow decided to formulate
their own anti-anti-C Communist
campaign" he said.
Government orders in the
United States squelching public
anti-Communist statements by
military leaders followed, ne
said. and were the result of
orders which came directly
from Moscow"
Senator Thurmond, who has
made a series of speeches III
Southern California. did not
cite any source for his m-
formation. Earlier he told 200
persons at a Project Alert
luncheon that the Federal
Government is infested with
secret Socialists" - persons
who though not Communists
are playing directly into Com
muniSt hands.

, cold war should say frankly
whether they mean we should
declare war against the Soviet
Union" Senator Goldwater has
called on Mr.. Kennedy to make
a cold war victory the CHIEF
collective of United States for
eign policy.
/ Worry Suspected
While these same-day as.
saults on Senator Goldwater's
views by the two top elected
Democratic officials may have
conceded only by accident, they
seemed to indicate the admin
iStration is worried by what the
Arizona Senator contends is a
rising tide of conservatism.
If this tide is running, it may
threaten several key admin
istration proposals in the next
session of Congress. These in
clude broad tariff authority
school aid and medical care for
the aged.
Neither Mr.. Kennedy nor Mr.
Johnson has made any public
attempt to link Senator Gold
water with the political "ex-
tremists" both have denounced
But they have implied that
some of his views are similar to
those held by the occupants OF
the far right fringe.
Senator Goldwater has been
careful to avoid being identified
closely with these groups
Nevertheless. many of their
members look to him as a po-
tential 1864 presidential candi-
date to their liking.
Although he has criticized
what a reporter called right
wing extremist groups" Mr.
Kennedy told his news confer
ence he doesn't think the Gov
ernment should interfere in the
right of any individual to take
any political position he de-
Sires.
Query on Donations
He made this response to a
question as to whether the
President thought that "sizable
financial contributions" to such
groups constituted a danger to
the elective process.
THE only thing we should be
concerned about is that it does
not represent a diversion OF
funds, which might be taxable,
for nontaxable purposes" Mr..
Kennedy said. He added that
II would not want to interfere
with the right of any individual
to give his own finances or sup
port any movement he chooses
to do so, providing he comes
within the law. :" ...
On the trade issue, Mr.. Ken
nedy said nobody was proposing
the kind of association" with
the Common Market that Sena-
tor Goldwater had suggested.
What he was primarily con-
cerned with, the President said,
was to have "the power to ne
gotiate with the Common Mar
ket to protect our export in
dustry."
