Expressing his high regard fol-
President Kennedy, he said che has
nothing but problems. If ever man
needs the prayers and support of
the people of America in these diff
ficult times, it is the President.
For all of the problems and final
decisions that must be borne by
"the loneliest man in the world,
Mansfield, in a sharp attack aimed
at such groups as the John Birch
Society, said that "there are forces
in this state and nation seeking to
disrupt this nation in its efforts.
"They have attacked former Presi-
dent Eisenhower, the Dulles brothers
General Marshall and Chief Justice
Warren as being traitors to this
nations best interests. "They want
to abolish the income tax, yet more
than half of it goes for Defense"
Concluding that portion of his talk
he said: II want strong America.
Pm willing to pay for it. think the
people of America are willing to pay
for it,
Returning to the Berlin situation,
he briefly reviewed how, since Feb
ruary 1859, he had made five Senate
speeches, latest of which last June Ia,
in which he contended that "You can
not maintain the status quo forever.
Times change and you have to change
with them" Each time he spoke thus
ly, you'd have thought the roof had
fallen in" according to some of the
outcries. "Somebody has to start a
discussion and an argument so that
the people can learn what situation
isl. That was his intent last June,
and in no wise reflected Administra-

his proposal that all of Berlin should
be unified under United Nations adj
ministration: 1. The continued indie
pendence. of the people of West Ber-
lin must be protected; 2. There must
be no abridgement of our rights in
West Berlin; 8. We must be guaran-
teed a continuation of our rights Of
access to and egress from West Ber-
lin.
Now, said he, his moderate pro-
posals have been left far behind as
the probability of de facto recogni- |
ton of East Germany and recognition |
of the Oder-Neise boundary between |
East Germany and Poland, come near
er to reality.
"a NEW SPIRIT"
Congressman Olsen, in talking
about the ''new spirit and new con-
fidence" in Washington and the ma
ton under Kennedy, said that Gamer
leans cannot forgive being in second
place in the space race" because of
"eight years of people in power who
believed in standing stilP'.
Since january, he said, "America
has been going full speed in at
tempting to catch up, and we're
going to keep on going full speed
until we are ahead.
President Kennedy" ne contin-
led, "has started programs in every
which will serve our peo-
pie +. :"
On his "skepticism" concerning
foreign aid, when he went to Wash
ngton. he said he has changed his
mind and now believes such aid is
IN important weapon in keeping the
rec world free The race with
