Judging by the on and off
the record statements by key
men around President Ken
nedy, our ties with the Euro
pean members Of the NATO
take second place in the dip
lomatic policies Of the new
administration. 1t appears
from available information
that the main efforts will be
concentrated on the i'm
provement Of relations with
the Soviet Union; counting
the African nations; closer
relations with Latin Amer
lea, and new approaches to
Communist China.
The overwhelming major
ity Of the Kennedy advisers
appear firmly convinced that
the new world"-that Of the
Communist bloc, emerging
black Africa, and the Far
Eastern powers (China and
India). are more important
to our future than Europe,
for which we have fought
two bloody and costly world
wars.
Experienced diplomats here
and in Europe strongly dis
agree with these assumptions
Of the Presidents close ad-
visers. They point out that
any attempts to "normalize"
relations with Moscow and
Peiping may prove q costly
illusion. Both despotisrns rec
ognize only strength and will
consider our present discreet
approaches as further indi-
cations Of weakness. There
have been suggestions from
Europe that, to preserve the
present strength Of the free
nations. President Kennedy
arrange a meeting with the
leaders Of the Western Eur
opean powers, rather than
flirt with the idea Of having
informal talks with Nikita
Khrushchev. as are now be-
ing planned. For only by pre-

The basic miSunderStand-
ing between the United
States and Great Britain on
the one hand and the con-
tinental members Of the
NATO on the other has been
our insistence that they lit
orally follow our policies and
do what they are told. The
continental Europeans led by

de Gaulle want equality

"What would happen"
they ask, "if by one Of those
strange Quirks Of diplomatic
fate, the United States and
the USSR agreed to iron out
all their problems at the ex-
pense possibly Of some Of
the Western European ma
tions?"
In the past. 1t Is true,

He must be supported in
his desire to breach the high

on other reporters to show

Meanwhile, Republicans

Furthermore, precise Ian.

United States and Russia Is
not to say that this Nation
Is militarily weak.
This Is what President Ei.

pointed to the Strategic Air
Force, short-range missiles
stationed abroad, and other
components Of United States
military strength. He rightly
added them up to powerful

Missile Cop Incident Called Big Lesson
For Mcnamara, q Problem for President
DORIS FLEESON

Defense Secretary Robert
s. Mcnamara is now on
notice that while it Is possible
to roll . Ford off the as
sembly line in accordance
with q blueprint, the art Of
political press relations is not
an exact science.
Within little more than two
weeks Of taking office he has
qualified for the select club
Of Washington big wheels
who thought that in q coy
little hour or two he could
get better acquainted with
veteran reporters and explain
everything to them off the
record. But the first love Of
reporters Is information, and
Mr.. McNamara'S guests have
fallen arches from patrolling
the Pentagon aisleS whereon
he has barely scuffed his
shoes.
Hence. the present furor
over whether there is or is
not Q missile gap. It was al
ways mired in politics and
will be more so now. Presi-
dent Kennedy has been
brought into 1t and Is seek

It always was and still iG
misleading to talk about q
missile gap" For in truth
there never has been and is
not now any such thing If by
this is meant there is lacking
the power to deter the Soviet
Union from attacking Amer
lea.
Whoever originated the
phrase perhaps had a cause
to champion-political or
otherwise - or misguidedly
tried to convey the impress
sion that, because the United
States may have had fewer
missiles at o given time. its
deterrent power was also
weaker. At last the true story
is coming out.
The real question Is what
is the strength, actual and
potential. Of the whole mill
tary apparatus Of the United
States at any moment to de-
fend this country and our
allies and to threaten such
severe punishment in re-
taliation as to make sure no
attack would be sanctioned
by any enemy.
Lately some startling ex-
periments have been COM
pleted. The groundwork for
these was laid many months
and years ago. Those who
talked Of q missile gap knew
then what was in process.
But they tended to confuse
the public with statements Of
Q highly technical nature
which have not been under
stood generally.
Now the early type Of in
tercontinental ballistic mis-
siles contemplated large We
hicles weighing many tons.
The SovietS went ahead on
that theory, but the United
States preferred to wait until
1854 for q breakthrough that
would give promise Of COM
paratively lightweight war
heads Of the nuclear variety.
But. In the meantime, q
rather heavy weapon-but
not Of the weight Of what the
SovietS developed - accom-
plished for US q considerable
advance in economy Of power
over that Of the Soviet mis-
sile.

grades as they desire. There
is no limit on what they may
do to or with their schools.
There has been no Federal
tyranny" The Constitution
applies equally to each Of the
so States. It does not inter-
fere with the schools or the
operation Of them. It merely
says the States may not dis
criminate against any citizen
who Is qualified to attend
them. There Is no sophistry
about this. It Is wrong to de-
ceive the people, as some po-
litical leaders do, by crying
tyranny when none exists.
Each State is treated the
same.
So, we need to look ahead.
The Government Of the
United States collects taxes.
They are. as Justice Holmes
once said. the price we pay
for civilization. These taxes
are collected from all citizens.
In the past, and in the
present. for example, State.
municipal and county gov.
ernments or authorities have
obtained Federal funds to
build highways, hospitals,
airports, and housing. This
Is true in all States.
That 1t Is unconstitutional
to impose restrictive segrega-
ton in these fields IL plain.
1t has been done for q long
time because it was unchal-
lenged. AS soon as q court
test Is made, or an executive
order declared, this will come
to an end. We, as q people,
owe 1t to ourselves to UNDER
stand this and to be ready
for 1t. We also ought to have

Actual and Potential Military Strength
OF b. S. Held Only Measure of Defense

Meanwhile, United States
research made remarkable
advances in fuels and in
guidance systems. Also, while
the big missiles that must be
fired from fixed bases, were
being developed. America
made great progress In what
are known as migratory mis-.
siles-those that function
from movable platforms. The
Minuteman, which has Just
been successfully fired o little
over 1000 miles in distance,
Is an example Of this achieve
ment.
The advantage in the
Minuteman is in its simplicity
and economy and in the fact
that 1t can be fired one minute
after receipt Of the command.
This could be significant in
any retaliatory action.
Until the Minuteman be-
comes operational in IS to 18
months, there are other
missiles presently available
which carry a larger payload.
Hence, the use Of the term
missile gap is bound to abate,
and the talk will be concerned
with the relative destructive
power Of all the American
weapons versus those Of the
Soviets.
There Is little sense In
matching numbers Of missiles
and much more justification
in matching destructive power
as q whole. What IL import
ant to know is the Overall
kill" or potential Of the two
rivals in the world.
The number Of Minuteman
missiles needed can be de.
termined only within the
framework Of the whole
arsenal. For the present, this
arsenal viii include ~ squad.

There are lessons ahead
for which we will do well to
prepare psychologcally and
practically. They are in the
field Of constitutional rights.
They will follow somewhat
closely on the heels Of the
instruction provided by the
decision on discrimination in
education. This teaching re-
mains unacceptable to those
whose thinking has been con-
ditioned by status and Gus
tom. 1t will be folly to ignore
the future.
The Constitution Is there.
It awaits only court tests or
executive orders in areas
which have long remained
unchallenged. There is no
reason why we, as q people.
should close our eyes to these
facts only to be painfully sur
prised, and resentful when
confronted with the changes
ahead.
We must begin with Q
basic fact. It Is that every
citizen has equal rights in

transportation, ct cetera.
