President Kennedy is sending
Adlai E. Stevenson on a mis-
sion to South America to seek
to perfect and accelerate the
inter-American program for So
cial and economic development.
Mr.. Stevenson is the United
States Ambassador to the
United Nations.
Announcing the special mis-
sion last night, Mr.. Kennedy
said he felt sure Mr.. Steven
sons journey will contribute
immeasurably to preparations
for the mid-July meeting Of the
Inter-American Economic and
Social Council in Uruguay.
Mr.. Stevenson told reporters
he intended to visit all 10 South
American capitals prior to the
inter American economic con-
ference to formally launch Mr..
Kennedy's Alliance for Prog
'Iess" program.
The trip "looks forward to
the future and not backward to
the past" Mr.. Stevenson said

The administration is said
to believe the situation Is just
right to undo any damage in
relations with other Latin
American nations caused by
the invasion failure. The United
States aided the effort Of

prisoner exchange In hopes Of
building his own prestige while
hurting the United States in
the eyes of Latin America.
Reaction Favorable
Reaction from that part Of
the hemisphere, however. has
been surprisingly favorable to
the United States. Mr.. Kennedy
repeatedly feels it's time to
make the most Of that reaction.
Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat Of Minnesota, was under

speech attacking critics Of the
exchange deal and insisting it

French General on Trial for Life
In Algerian Revolt CoIIopses

PARIS, May 20 (AP).-Gen.
Andre zeller. on trial for his
life for leading a military in
surrection in Algeria, collapsed
today when he tried to speak in
his own defense. He was car
ried from the courtroom.
The graying, 63-year-old for
mer army chief Of staff, was
weak and almost incoherent as
he began his defense. He
started to speak after codefend-
ant Gen. Maurice Challe COM
pleted his own defense in
clipped military tones, claim
ing that only a bare handful of
officers in Algeria opposed the
military coup d'etat last month.
Gen. Zeller collapsed but re-
sumed his testimony after a
short recess, but hardly had he
begun again when he slumped
back in his chair once more,
with his hands over his eyes.
ChalIe Defends Stand
In his testimony Gen. Challe
said, "You can count those who
fatty refused to follow us on
the fingers Of your two hands"
Defending his opposition to
the Algerian policies of Presi-
dent de Gaulle, whom he hoped
to topple from power. Gen.
Challe said the French army
now "is only united in its
despair"
He said officers in Algeria
no longer have any faith in
anything. He blamed failure
Of the generals revolt on the
hesitation of the army leaders
and, to some extent, supposed
Communist influence among
French drafteeS who in gen.
eral opposed the coup.
Gen. Challe spoke in his own
defense after the prosecutor

ment charging him and Gen.

tention on his European confer

Former Vice President Nixon
and Republican leaders in
Congress have denounced the
proposition of Cuban Premier
Fidel Castro to exchange 1900
prisoners Of the crushed inva-
sion attempt for 500 tractors
and bulldozers.
They called it blackmail and
criticized Mr.. Kennedy for
helping to organize q commit
tee Of citizens to raise the
necessary millions and arrange
details Of the transfer.
Backing Not Solid
Democratic backing for Mr..
Kennedy's approach to the ex-
change plan has not been COM
pletely solid. For example, for
mer President Truman said at
q news conference Saturday
that the deal involves foreign
policy in which the President
has the constitutional respon-
sibility.
"The Government is going to
have to do it If it's done at
ALL" Mr.. Truman said.
There have been signs that
Mr.. Castro may welsh on the
offer, and one administration
objective Is to put the Cuban
dictator on the spot.
Mr.. Kennedy has appealed
for contributions to pay for the
tractors, which would cost ar
estimated SIS million. The
White House also has disclosed
that behind the scenes he got
three committee leaders TO-
gether. But he also has declared
the Government itself can play
no part in the transaction Of
fund-raising.

Psalm of the Welfare State

The Government is my shepherd, I need not work. It alloweth me to lie down on good jobs, it leadeth me beside still factories. It des- troyeth my initiative, if leadeth me in the paths of the parasite, for politics sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of laziness and deficit spending, I shall fear no evil, for the doles and the vote getters, they comfort me. It pre- pareth an economrc utopia for me by appropriating the earning of my grandchildren. It filleth my head with bologna. My inefficiency runneth over. Surely the Govern ment will care for me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in fools paradise forever.
