Urges New Accent
On Social Reforms

But his program, like eco
nomic assistance, needs a new
emphasis, It cannot be ex-
tended without regard to the
social, political and military re-
forms essential to internal re-
spect and stability. The equip
ment and training provided
must be tailored to legitimate
local needs and to our own for
eign and military policies, not
to our supply of military stocks
or a local leaders desire for
military display. And military
assistance can, in addition to
its military purposes, make a
contribution to economic prog
ress, The domestic works of
our own Army Engineers are
an example of the role which
military forces in the emerging
countries can play in village
development, sanitation and
road building. Thus, while kept
separate from our economic as
sistance, this program must be
closely co-ordinated with 1t un-
der our Ambassadors abroad.
In an earlier message, I re-
quested SIG billion for military
assistance, stating that this
would maintain existing force
levels, but that I could not
foreSee how much more might
prove to be requested. It Is now
clear that this is not enough
that many countries need in
creased mobility, moderniza-
ton and para-military equip
ment-and that others must
increase their capability to
work effectively with outside
forces dispatched to help them
in an emergency. The present
crisis in Southern Asia, on
which the Vice President has
made a valuable report-the
rising threat of communism in
Latin America-the increasing
arms traffic in Africa-and all
the new preSsures on every ma
ton found on the map by trac-
ing your finger along the. bor-
derS Of the Communist bloc in
Asia and the Middle East-all |
make clear the dimension Of
our needs.
I therefore request the Con-
gress to provide a total of
81, 1876, 100000 for military as
sistance in the coming fiscal
year-an amount less than that
requested a year ago-but a
minimum which must be as
sured if we are to help those
nations make secure their In
dependence. This must be pru-
IDENTIFY and wisely spent-and
that will be our common en-
deavor. But let me say again |
that military and economic as
sistance has been a heavy bur-
den on our citizens for a long
time; but that this battle, far

Calls Hope for Peace
Nearly InexhoustibIe'

Yet 1t Is important that they
should know that our patience
at the bargaining table is
nearly inexhaustible, though
our credulity is limited-that
our hopes for peace are unfail-
ing. while our determination to
protect our security is resolute.
For these reasons I have long
thought it wise to meet with
the Soviet Premier for a per-
sonal exchange Of views. A
meeting in Vienna next month
turned out to be convenient for
us both, and the Austrian gov
ernment has kindly made us
welcome. No formal agenda is
planned and no negotiations
will be undertaken, but we will
make clear that Americas en-
during concern is for both free
dom and peace-that we are
anxious to live in harmony with
the Russian people-that we
seek no conquests, no satel-
lites, no riches-and that we
seek only the day when ina
ton shall not life up sword
against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more"
Finally, our greatest asset in
this struggle is the American
people-their willingness to pay
the price for these programs
to understand and accept a long
struggle to share their re-
sources with other less for
tunate people-to meet the tax
levels and close the tax loop
holes I have requested - to
exercise self-restraint instead
of pushing up wages or prices,
or over-producing certain crops,
or spreading military secrets, or
urging unessential expenditures
or improper monopolies or
harmful work stoppages - to
serve in the Peace Corps or
the armed services or the Fed
eral civil service-to strive for
excellence in their schools, in
their cities and In their phySi-
cal fitness to take part in
civil defense to pay higher
postal rates, higher payroll
taxes and higher teachers SAL
aries, in order to strengthen
our society-to show friendship
to students and visitors from
other lands - and, finally, to
practice democracy at home, in
all States, with all races, to
respect each other and to pro-
tect the constitutional rights Of
all citizens.
I have not asked for a single
which did not cause
one or all Americans some in.
convenience, or some hardship,
or some sacrifice. But they
have responded you in the
Congress have responded-and
I feel confident in asking today
for a similar response to these
new and larger demands. It is
neartening to know, as I jour
ney abroad, that our country
IS united in its commitment to
freedom-and ready ~ do its
duty.

ban treaty-the first significant
stop toward disarmament. Up
to now, their response has not
been what we hoped-but we
intend to go the last mile in
patience.
Meanwhile, we are deter
mined to keep disarmament
high on our agenda-to make
an intensified effort to de-
velop acceptable political and
technical alternatives to the
present arms race. To this end
I soon shall send to the Con-
gress a measure to establish a
strengthened and enlarged
Disarmament Administration.
Such an agency can intensity
and improve our studies and
research on this problem, look
ing forward to the day when
reason will prevail, and all ma
tions Of the world will be pre-
pared to accept a realistic and
safeguarded disarmament in a
world Of law.
TX. Space
Finally, If we are to win the
battle for mems minds, the dra-
matte achievements in space
which occurred in recent weeks
should have made clear to us
all the impact of this new from
tier of human adventure. Since
early in my term, our efforts in
space have been under review
With the advice Of the Vice
President we have examined
where we are strong and where
we are not, where we may sue
ceed and where we may not
Now it is time to take longer
StrideS-time for a great new
American enterprise-time for
this Nation to take a clearly
leading role In space achieve
ment.
I believe we possess all the
resources and all the talents
necessary. But the facts of the
matter are that we have never
made the national decisions OF
marshalled the national re-
sources required for such lead
ership. We have never specified
long-range goals on an urgent
time schedule, or managed our
resources and our time so as tc
insure their fulfillment.
Recognizing the head start
obtained by the Soviets with
their large rocket engines
which gives them many months
of lead-time, and recognizing
the likelihood that they will
exploit this lead for some time
to come in still more impressive
successes, we nevertheless are
required to make new efforts
For while we cannot guarantee
that we shall one day be first
we can guarantee that any
failure to share this effort viii

asking the Congress and the
country to accept a firm COM
mitment to a new course Of
action-a course which will last
for many years and carry very
heavy costs-an estimated ST.
SO billion additional over the
next five years. If we were to
go only half way, or reduce our
sights in the face of difficulty,
it would be better not to go
at all.
Let me stress also that more

job. This decision demands q

power, material and facilities,
and the possibility Of their di-
version from other important
activities where they are al
ready thinly spread. It means
a degree Of dedication, organi-
zation and discipline which
have not always characterized
our research and development
efforts. 1t means we cannot
afford undue work stoppages,
inflated costs Of material or
talent, wasteful interagency
rivalries, or a high turnover Of
key personnel.
New objectives and new
money cannot solve these prob
lens. They could. in fact. ag-
gravate them further-unless
every scientist, every engineer,
every serviceman, every tech
nician, contractor. and civil
servant involved gives his per-
sonal pledge that this Nation
will move forward, with the full
speed of freedom, in the excit-
ing adventure Of space.
II x. Conclusion
In conclusion let me empha-
size one point: that we are de-
termined, as a Nation, that
freedom shall survive and Sue
ceed-and whatever the peril
and the Set-backs, we have
some very large advantages.
The first is the simple fact
that we are on the side Of lib
erty-and, since the beginning
of history, liberty has been
winning out in the end.
A second great asset is that
we are not alone. We have
friends and allies all over the
world. May I cite as a symbol
of traditional and effective
friendship the great ally am
about to viSit-France. I look
toward to my visit to France,
and to my discussion with her
magnificent leader, President
de Gaulle, as a meeting of par
ticular significance, permitting
the kind Of close and rang
ing consultation which will
strengthen both parties and
serve their common purposes
of world peace and liberty.
Such serious conversations do
not require a pale unanimity-
they are rather the instru-
mentS of trust and understand
ing.
A third asset is our desire
for peace. It is sincere and
the world knows it. We are
proving it in our patience at
the teSt-ban table, and we are
proving it in the U. NJ, where
our efforts have been directed
toward maintaining that Or
ganization'S usefulness as q
protector Of the small. In these
and other instances, the re-
sponse of our opponents has
not been encouraging.
Evening star., 1961-05-25

In line with these develop
ments, I have directed a fur
ther reinforcement Of our own
capacity to deter or resist nom
nuclear aggression. Our nu-
clear strength and our deter
rent capacity are adequately
safeguarded by what I have
requested in an earlier mes
sage; and if their strength and
invulnerability are maintained,
and If the Western alliance re-
mains resolute and united.
there will be no general nu-
clear attack. Even in the con-
ventional field, with one ex-
ception, I find no present need
for large new levieS Of men.
What is needed is rather a
change Of position to give us
still further increases in our
fleXibillty, our adaptablllty,
and our readiness. Therefore:
ID First, I am directing the
Secretary of Defense to under
take a complete reorganization
and modernization of the
Army's divisional structure. to
increase its non-nuclear fire
power, to improve its tactical
mobility. in any environment,
to insure its flexibility to meet
any direct or indirect threat.

with our major allies. and to

to tell them of our confidence
in freedom. In Latin America,
we are proposing to increase
our Spanish and Portuguese
broadcastS to a total Of %
hours a week, compared to six

Portuguese, the language Of
about one-third of the people
of South America0 The So
viets, Red Chinese and satel-
liteS already broadcast into
Latin America more than 134
hours q week in Spanish and
Portuguese. Communist China
alone does more public infor-
nation broadcasting in our
own hemisphere than we do.
Powerful propaganda broad
casts from Havana. now heard
throughout Latin America, are
encouraging new revolutions in
several countries; and our ef-
forts to isolate and counter
this menace require increased
efforts to convey throughout
the Americas the true nature
of Communist objectives in
this hemisphere. To strengthen
all of Latin America, we need
the widest possible appreciation
of our AlianZa para Progreso,
and its meaning to poverty
stricken peoples.
Similarly. in Laos, Wet Nam.
Cambodia and Thailand, we
must communicate our deter
mination and support to those
upon whom our hopes for re-
sisting the Communist tide in
that continent must ultimately
rest. Our interest is solely in the
truth-the truth that will make
men free.
v. Our Partnership
For Self-DefenSe
But while we talk Of sharing
and building and the competi-
ton of ideas, others talk of
arms and threaten war. So we
have learned to keep our de-
fenses strong-and to CO.
operate with others in a part
nership Of self-defenSe. The
events of recent weeks have
caused us to look anew at these
efforts.
l. The center of freedoms
defense Is our network Of
world alliances, extending from
NATO, approved by a Demo-
cratic President and a Repub-
lican Congress, to SEATO, ap-
proved by a Republican Presi-
dent and a Democratic Con-
greSs. These alliances we're
constructed in the 1940s and
1950s-it is our task in the
Cos to strengthen them.
To meet the changing con-
ditions of power. we have in
dorSed an increased emphasis
an NATO conventional strength.
At the same time we are af-
firming our conviction that the
NATO nuclear deterrent must
also be kept strong. I have
made war our intention to
commit to the NATO COM
msnd, for this purpose; the |
five Polaris submarines origi- |
nally suggested by President |
Eisenhower, with the possibil- |
ity Of more to come. Our will |
and our capacity to resist all |
types Of aggression in the
NATO treaty area should be
clear beyond possibility Of mis-
calculation. and if they so re.
main. I am certain there win
be no such attack. |
2. A major part Of our part-
nership for self-defense is the
Military Assistance Program.
The defense of freedom must

the price of helping those now

One of the most successful events
of its kind in the history of the
Phoenix Jewish community took
place in Hotel Westward Hos
Thunderbird Room when 600 per-
sons celebrated the Bar Mitzvah
year of Israers independence.
The event climaXed the Israel
Bond Campaign, with sale OF
bonds - more than $1S8, 900 = eX-
ceeding the expectations of cam
paign leaders. His associates in the
campaign agreed that the success
of the drive was due in great part
to the dynamic efforts of the gen.
eral chairman, Phil Taxman.
Guest speaker Jack Benny de-
lighted the audience with his wit

reproduced in an ancient Biblical
setting. 1t was felt that the Israeli
