Honorary Member
States View on Club

Will say, as we are expected,
as President, to comment on
everything, I will say that in
nv judgment, that when an
official visitor comes to speak
to the Press Club that all
working reporters should be
permitted in on a basis of
equality. That is not a social
occasion, but a working occa-
sion. That happens to be my
personal view and the mem
bers of the Press Club will have
to decide it the way they want.
They are entitled to have any
arrangement they want on So
cial occasions.
I would think when there is
an official visitor here as a
part of the guest of the people
of the United States and there
is meeting, that all reporters
should be welcomed on the
basis of equality. I am not a
member of the Press Club but
an honorary member, but /
give my view as an honorary
member and not as President
of the United States.
@. Mr.. President, yesterday
you spoke of the possibility of a
commitment to peace between
NATO and the Warsaw Pact,
Senator Mansfield, early this
month, also suggested an ex-
ploratcry meeting between the
members of these two pacts to
attempt to work out a better
understanding between them.
Are these two ideas, yours
and Senator ManSfield's. in the
same vein and do you en-
visage such a meeting?
A. AS 1 stated and as we
stated at the time Of the visit
Eof Chancellor Adenauer, we
hoped negotiations would take
place in regard to Berlin and
Germany. OF course, this is
a question which would be re-
lated to that. At that time, we
would attempt to improve the
relations between NATO and
Warsaw Pact Countries
I think there are some diff
ferences in the view expressed
by Senator Mansfield and by
me, but the purpose was the
same. to provide a lesSening
of tensions between the two
blocs and to improve their re-
lations. I think that the de-
tails could best be worked cut
in negotiations, but we cannot
have, of course, an increase
in harmony between the two
blocs until we have come to
some negotiated and mutually
satisfactory agreement in re-
gard to Berlin and Germany.
After we have done that, then
such an arrangement would be
meaningful.
@. Mr.. President, could you
tell us what you had in mind
when you suggested in your
interview with Mr.. Adzhubei
the creation of an international
administration on the autobahn
| to Berlin?

Says Greater Effort
Was Needed Earlier


A. Yes. I always have felt
that we did not make a deter
mined enough effort in the
case of China. Given the prob
lens we now see, a more deter
mined effort would have been
visible. I would think that in
my speech in l949 I placed
more emphasis on personalities
than would today.
l would say that my view
today is more in accordance
with the facts than my view
in 1949. But / have always felt,
and I think history will recall
it, that the change of China
from being a country friendly
to us to a country which is
unremittingly hostile effected
a very strong. imbalance of
power in the world. While
there were-there is still, of
course, room for argument as
to whether any United States
actions would have changed
the course of events there. I
think a greater effort would
have been wiser. I said it in
1949. So it is not totally nom
sense.
| @. Mr.. President, earlier you
said that information would be
made available to private citi-
zens as to what they can do
individually to protect against
fallout. Do you have an opinion
as to whether individuals
should build private shelters
or not?
A. I stated that we are going
to send out a booklet when it
is ready. ! hope it will be ready
the end of November. The book
let will reflect the decisions we
made in November, and I think
| it will tell them what the Fed
eral policy will be. what we
hope to do, and what each in
dividual can do in his own
home, which will provide great
er assurances if an attack
should come. I want to empha-
size that the best defense still
remains the American deter
rent.
But I do think that within
each individual home that some
steps can be taken which are
not expensive, but which would,
if a disaster should strike us,
provide a greater security,
though of course there is no
security against blast.
There is bound to be, par
ticularly as these new weapons
increase in. power-there are
obvious limits to what any of
us can do. But in answer to
your question, the booklet
which will be sent out, I hope
shortly, will inform each indi-
vidual what he can do within
his own home as well as within
his community.
@. Thank you, Mr.. President.

Seeks to Improve
Ratio of Exports

A. Yes. I don't know what
the word associated" means
in the question. I don't know
any one-I have not heard pro-
posed that the United States
should become a member OF
the Common Market or asso-
ciated with the Common Mar
ket in the sense that the word
is ordinarily used.
What we are concerned about
is that we have the power to
negotiate with the Common
Market to protect our export
industry. The Common Mar
ket will represent a tremen-
dously important market for
American production.
1t is one of our areas where
we have concentrated most on
in recent years and represents
a tremendous potential for us
in the future. particularly when
Great Britain joins it. We
want to, therefore, protect our
export market. We want to
keep the ratio of exports to
imports comparable to what it
is today or perhaps even i'm
prove it, because If we are not
able to export substantially
more than we import we are
going to either have to cut off
al assistance to countries
abroad or begin to withdraw
our troops home.
We spend nearly So billion
a year in keeping our bases
and troops abroad. That rep
resents a SO billion drain upon
us. The only reason we have
beeen able to afford that is
that we have a balance of trade
in our favor of around SIS
billion.
In addition. we are concerned
that American companies who
are locked out of the common
market because Of their high

Adequate Funds
Held Still Available

A. Whenever we have a cut,
everyone wants economy. and
whenever any cut is made, Of
course, there are always COM
plants about it. The fact Of
the matter is that we subStan-
TALLY increased over the Eisen-
hover budget, the amount that
we requested for the Depart
ment of Health. Education and
Welfare, including research.
including support for the health
institutes.f The House of Rep
reSentatives increased our re-
quests and the Senate sub
stantially increased it.
Now. the figure which Mr..
Ribicoff cut to was. 1 believe.
several million dollars above
the figure that the House of
Representatives them elves
passed and the fact of the
matter is that the figure as it
now stands in the area of
HEW. cancer research and
others is 25 per cent now above
what it was a year ago.
So that I think that we have
funded these programs ade-
uuately and we would spend
additional funds if we felt they
could be usefullv spent, and
this matter has been very care
fully examined and let me reit-
crate, the amount of money
being spent is 25 per cent above
what was spent last year and
it is above what was recon-
mended by the House of Rep
resentatives as well as being
now above what we recon-
mended in our budget which
was substantially above what
President Eisenhower recon-
mended in his budget.
@. Mr.. President, could you
discuss the recent personnel
changes in your administration,
the reasons behind them?
A. The question was, would
I discuss the recent personnel
changes in our administra ton,
and the reasons behind them.
I think the first sentence of
our announcement on Sunday
which said that we thought
the changes provide a better
matching of the men with their
tasks and responsibilities ex-
plains the change. One of the
problems, of course, is that our
attention is focused today on
particularly Western Europe,
Berlin, Germany and the Com
mon Market and the Soviet
and even bloc tensions with
the NATO alliance and the
United States. We are, Of
course, also bearing a heavy
responsibility and we are ex-
tremely concerned with the
course of events in South
America, Africa, the Middle
East and Asia.
Mr.. Bowles has Travelled a
good deal into these areas be-
fore and after becoming Un-
dersecretary and he is now
going to devote his entire time
to our problems and policies in
those areas, and I believe it is
a much more effective use of
his extremely obvious talents to
use him in this area rather
than using him in the area of
day-to-day administration in
the Department of State.

There was laughter, some Of
it bitter from the distaff side.
Then, being sure of his au-

final answer was all that the
most demanding femenist could

Further on, the President
showed that if he were an
editor, he would not assign a
reporter to record the discon-
itent of reservists who have been
called back.
Not in Public Interest
He would clearly not consider
that in the public interest.
There is not any doubt that
any newspaper can go out and
interview a man who has been
called up" he said at the be-
ginning of his longest and most
eloquent answer.
AS an editor, he would not
be easily taken in by reporters.

ing comment on one develop
ment in the story.
"I have seen the stories in
some cases where newspapers
have reported that the Depart
ment of Defense has de-
termined to keep these people
in for more than a year. When
it was proved that story was
wholly wrong, they write that
the Pentagon has changed
their mind and sent their re-
porters around to examine and
interview service men and build
up the sense that Americans
are not ready to serve their
country"

Says Free Choice

@. In your interview with the
Izvestia reporter, you said that
what we objected to was dep
rivation of a political choice,
and I wonder if you can dis

to President Kekkonen has been
pressured into retiring from the
