Revolt Against France Is Called
Greater Present Danger Than Cuba

The threat to French au-
thority and stability caused
by the revolt of the generals
in Algeria is of such immense
Importance to America and
the West that soul searchings
over the Cuban fiasco have
been forced to the rear.
President Kennedy on
learning Of the revolt imme-
diately sent to Gen. de Gaulle
a message offering full sup
port. 1t was heartfelt. Gen.
de Gaulle has been difficult.
indeed, for his allies toadeal
with, yet he has come to rep
resent the most stable force
in France. And France, de-
spite the rise of postwar
Germany, remains the heart
Of any solution Of European
problems, military or econo-
mic.
He has dreamed Of renewed
grandeur for France and on
occasion has acted as If that
grandeur was a fact. But the
truth is that at no time dur
ing his presidency has he
been complete master Of his
household. The war for Alge-
rian independence has sapped
French power to an even
greater degree than the pre-
vious long and bootless war
in Indo- China. The counter
rebellion Of the retired gen.
erals places his hopes in dou-
BILE jeopardy.
AS embarrassing as the
Cuban adventure turned out
to be for the United States, a

matter in which Castro has
already begun to rub our
noses, the threat to Gen. de
Gaulle is a far more present
danger than any which could
be mounted now by Havana.
At immediate stake is NATO
and the whole fabric of the
defense Of Europe from any
threatened attack by the So
Wet Union.
AS was the case in the
Cuban affair, communica-
tions between Algeria and the
outside world are notably
lacking. There are indica-
tions that the rebellious gen.
erals acted sooner than they
had planned out Of fear that
Paris had learned OF the plot
and would take steps to halt
it.
The fears of the govern
ment in Paris that the take
over in Alg1ers would be
promptly followed by a para
troop attack on the govern
ment in Paris itself proved
groundless. But the threat
remains. From the point of
view Of the rebels, their ac-
tions cannot be considered
successful so long as De
Gaulle remains the central
figure of authority in metro
politan France.
AS Frances most famous
general De Gaulle appears
to have placed too great a
reliance on the loyalty of
the French army. 1t is true

who have their own fish to

the extent of disaffection on
the part of the corps of

the end the power of no
state is any greater than the
loyalty of its military forces.
What will happen now to
the off-and- d-on-again nego-
tiations with the MoSlem
Algerian rebels which were
scheduled for May II Is un-
known. Possibly they will be
held anyway in an effort to
get the Moslem freedom
fighters on the side Of the
French government in the
fight with the revolving gen.
erals. So far nothing has
been concluded either about
postponing the visit to Paris
by President Kennedy which
was set for late May. The
security problem involved in
such a visit has under
standably greatly increased.

questions we regard as

will have to wait for an

People and BywOys, Not Washington,
Called the Nations True Heart

1t is in Americas homes, its
schools and universities and
colleges, its Main Streets and
city halls, its prairies and
mountains, its churches and
lodges. its baseball diamonds
and picnic grounds. 1t is in
America and in Americans
all.
Our true ideologies are not
necessarily truly expressed in
Washington. Only a few of
their trappings are visible
here. They can be found on
the family hearthside, on the
kitchen range.
Freedom, as the Founding
Fathers meant it to be, will
never be preserved in the
Nations Capital. 1t will never
be realized in its true nature
through political parties,
movements or programs that
in their very nature are The
antithesis of American free
dom and integrity and self
reliance, the kind that made
us the Nation we have be-
come.

disenchanted with their lot
played 1t safe.
The more knowledgeable
people in Latin America did
not, of course, anticipate
Russian action. But the dis
contented in Latin America
and they are many-will
have been stimulated by Mr..
KS well timed shout of en-
couragement and promise of
assistance. And this, when
all is said and done, is prob
ably all that Mr.. K meant to
accomplish. He put on q
flash show of riots, demon
strations and denunciations
of the United States. This
will surely bring grief, in
the weeks ahead, to at least
four or five governments in
Latin America. The leftist
groups will begin a new
period of activity. All this
will bring new burdens to
the slender, young man in
the White House.
1t is well that the Presi-
dents new Latin-American
policy is started through the
legislative mills. We will need
it. There was not a single
head of a government to the
south of us which wanted to
see Castro win. But not one
spoke out, even though each
of them will hope to work
with us If their domestic
conditions do not deteriorate
too much to prevent it. Even
In the United Nations we
stood alone.
Castro will, sooner or later,
have to go. But whether
Communist influence and
strength also will depart is
the most thorny question Of
the future in that area of the
world. The moving finger of
history will be busy there for
many years to come. Presi-
dent Kennedy's strong state
ment to the Nations editors
reveals our determination
not to be a minor part of
that history.

Maybe it's time to urge
the petty politicians to lay
off each other and recognize
the seriousness of the Cuban
situation. For it's serious in
more respects than one.
It's not important to look
back just to assess blame,
political or otherwise. 1t is
more important to learn from
the past and then go ahead
decisively.
To understand what's been
going on here, it is neces-
sary to say that President
Eisenhower and his advisers
felt more than a year ago that
it was desirable to encourage
the Cuban exileS who wanted
to liberate their homeland.
Vice President Nixon and
others participated in those
discussions. Some people in
the State Departm e n t
dragged their feet and kept
urging all the reasons why
no help should be given.
Division Of opinion was re-
sponsible for many months
of delay. Meanwhile. the
Communists intensified their
help to Castro.
When the presidential
campaign got under way, it
became necessary for PreSi-
dent Eisenhower to take
Senator Kennedy into his
confidence and tell him what
was taking place. There was
no dissent by Mr.. Kennedy
but an eagerness to find out
what was being developed to
hasten the exit of Fidel
Castro from the scene. Dis
cussion of dangers and pit
falls became prolonged at
various levels of Government
here and caused Vice .Presi-
dent Nixon. for instance, to
become impatient as he
urged that the plan be
carried out promptly. But it
proved to be a bigger under
taking than anyone had fore
seen. Also. the political
campaign itself acted as an
inevitable roadblock to action.
When President Kennedy
came into office, he could
have stopped the whole enter
prise. He was urged to do
so by some Of his inexperi-
enced advisers who said a lot

Need for Information on Activities
Of Reds and Costroites Held Crucial

in the familiar pattern. It
was tied in with riots, demon
strations, and other acts
which the Kremlin custom
arily employs to stimulate
party activity and discipline.
We have here, in rather
clear form, an example of
the almost desperate need to
know the news. Presumably
our official counter-espi-
onage service knows. But
they may not. Equally i'm
portant, as a news need, will
be to be informed of any
return Of Communist dele
cations to Cuba-if, in fact,
they departed.

Illustration of how quickly
the Russians move to fill
vacuums. One serious fall
ure of the invading forces
was to propaganda their
beachheads. They were hop
ing for large defections.
These they did not get. One
reason they didn't was Mr..
Khrushchev's loud announce
ment he would provide help.
We must be sure that this
had a profound effect in
Cuba.
The illiterate peasant and
the unemployed in the cities
may have long ago become
disillusioned about Castro.
But they did not have any
invading propaganda in their
ears. CaStro's militiamen
were roaming around the
streets with automatic car
bines, and all were trigger
happy. The uniformed
fully expected to see Russian
planes landing soldiers and
Soviet ships showing up in
the Havana harbor with food
and weapons. So since 1t
was not healthy to defect
and Russia was coming to

about prestige" in Europe,
Asia and Africa, and ex-
pressed fears about Latin
American opinion and over
what Mr.. Khrushchev might
do. President Kennedy rose
above the chickering's of his
advisers and decided to
stay with the original plan.
He is being Fundamentally
commended for this by
former Vice President Nixon.
Now, it so happens that
Secretary Udall of the Inte-
rior Department made a COM
ment on television last Sun
day which aroused the ire of
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen and others. Mr..
Udall was asked If the Amer
ican people today support
this kind of American in
volvement in an attack on
Castro" The Secretary
replied:
well, I don't think there
Is any doubt but that they do.
The fascinating thing about
this particular business is
that here was a plan con-
ceived by one administra-
tion-thiS, from all l can find
out, began over a year ago
and President Eisenhower
directed 1t. And here the ac-
tual plan was carried out un-
der a successor adminiStra-
ton. I certainly think the at
titude Of the former Presi-
dent. of Mr.. Nixon, and Of
these other people is indica-
tive of the fact that we do
stand together as a people
and that whether what we
did was right or wrong, that
there is national unity on
questions like these"
Perhaps Mr.. Udall was try
ing to bolster national unity,
but his off-the-cuff remarks
came to be construed as criti-
cal of the preceding admin
istration. He expressed regret
afterward that this had
happened.
Actually, one good purpose
is served by examining in re-
Prospect what did happen.

At the moment of seeming
triumph in Cuba, it can be
said that Castro can't last.
Whatever the invasion was,
it did not succeed. But it
will continue in various forms
of sabotage and guerrilla
raids. The economy of the
country has received another
blow. The Russians and Red
Chinese will take another
look. They will hardly retain
Castro in the future picture
If they determine to continue
as active suppliers and in
structors in Cuba.
Even before the invasion
began Castro effectively had
suppressed outgoing news.
There were two important
items in the trickle of infor-
nation which came out a
few days before the first
bombing raid. One said that
Czech technicians had quit
and gone home because the
Cubans were too inefficient
and difficult to organize and
instruct. The second one was
that the Red Chinese dele
CATION Of observers had also
departed, leaving the house
they had occupied in a sham
bles, indicating sudden de-
parture.
If these stories were true,
and not planted for pur-
poses Of deception, which
would be a logical Communist
act, these items are impor-
tant. If they were un-
founded, or a trick to de-
ceive the invaders and cause
them to think the Castro
regime was being deserted by
It's allies, then we need to
discover that fact.

ON WINGS
Any Experts on Prophecies?
By CHARLES YARBROUGH

There could be something
prophetic in New York-pub-
lished stories last week that one
of United Air Lines new Cara
velIe jet transports landed and
took off from Newark Airport,
apparently unseen and un-
heard by airport neighbors.
Newark is just as "out of
bounds" for jet operations as
National Airport.
The Caravelle operation at
Newark was planned by state
officials to get a noise meas
urement on the sleek, aft
engine Caravelle which starts
flying for United, New York to
Chicago Friday.
Noise has been one of the
big factors in Newark's ban
on turbine-powered transports,
just as it is at National.
The Newark study was made
by a Chicago firm, hired with
out advance notice, to make
on-the-spot sound tests which
could lead to permanent Jet
service at Newark, The New
York Times reported.
Results of the study haven't
been released, but it must be
obvious that if the Caravelle
got into and out of Newark
without noise complaints from
airport neighbors, it has scored
something.
Even as long as jet trans
ports have been flying, there
still remains among a surpris-
ingly large number of people,
a feeling of awe and even fear
in merely seeing and hearing
one.
Infrequent air travellers may
still be heard to express fears
about riding one. I've never
heard any passenger express
that fear after making a trip
aboard a jet.
The Newark operation speaks
highly of the Caravelle's low
exterior noise level. Inside, it
is quietest transport I have
ever flown in-and that in
cludes about everything except
the Russian airlinerS.
Sporting a hi-fi system with
"a speakers, the Caravelle sent
