De GouIIe Arrives to See
British on Berlin Crisis

LONDON. Nov. "a (AP).-
President Charles de Gaulle ar
rived today for a week end Of
confidential talks with Prime
Minister Macmillan on how the
West should handle the Berlin
crisis.
Mr.. Macmillan hopes to con-
vince Gen. de Gaulle that the
time is ripe now for the West
ern powers to enter into nego-
tiations with the Soviet Union
over the future of West Berlin.
Gen. de Gaulle wants no ne
gotiations until the Russians
end the crisis they created over
Berlin.
President Kennedy used
much the same sort of argu-
ment in Washington conversa-
tions this week with Chancel-
lor Adenauer Of West Germany.

regard Mr.. Adoula's refusal to
participate in the U. N. puni-
tive action as a significant blow
to U. N. policy. He obviously
was responding to internal
pressure. He made clear to the
journalists it is only U. N. pro-
cedure he opposes-not the
agreed aim Of arresting and
furnishing the troops guilty of
the outrage.
TT is a touchy and difficult
matter" a U. N. spokesman
said, "but the United Nations
has made no change in its
plans to deal strictly with the
guilty troops"
Mr.. Adoula said the United
Nations wants to surround and
disarm the Kindu garrison
1000 men, according to his es-
innate. The Premier came out
against this extreme measure
because, he said, it would pre-
vent the troops from carrying
out their mission to invade Sc
cessioniSt Katanga.
The U. N. has never an
nounced its precise intention
for dealing with the Kindu
troops. 1t has carefully avoided
saying it intends to disarm
them, knowing the explosion
which would inevitably ensue

among trigger-happy Congolese
soldiers.
Mr.. Adoula's denunciation of
the Congolese troops who mu-
TIMED at Kindu brought him
under strong criticism by left
wing members Of Parliament,
mainly partisans of Lumumbist
Antoine Gizenga, who is be-
lieved to command the loyalty
Of the Kindu troops.
The U. N. has declined to give
any clear picture of what is
actually happening in Kindu.
Qualified sources fear, how
ever, that with every day that
passes without any action being
taken it will become harder to
find the guilty troops. Many of
the Kindu soldiers have already
fled the town for nearby viii
lagos, according to reports re-
ceived here.

A plan aimed at helping
young men who are rejected for
military service because of poor
health has been announced by
Secretary of Welfare Ribicoff.
The plan would guide these
men to places where their
health could be improved. It
was developed by the Federal
Interdepartmental Committee
on Children and Youth, of
which Mr.. Ribicoff is chairman.
A recommendation for such ac-
ton was made at last years
White House Conference on
Children and Youth.
Selective Service officials said
about so per cent of draft reg
istrants are being rejected on
physical and mental grounds.
Some Cases Referred
Mr. Ribicoff noted yesterday
that for some years cases of
tuberculosis and venereal dis
ease nave been referred to
health departments in order to
protect the community from
these communicable diseases
but nothing has been done
about medical rejectees who
want help with a wide variety

NucIeor War Is the End
English Abbot Feels

The English are inclined to
take a jaundiced view of our
entire current Civil Defense
ruckus, including the shelter
argument, a visiting English
Benedictine abbot said.
To some of them, he added,
the fallout shelter selling ac-
tivity is promulgated by those
"who want to take advantage
Of the situation" indicating a
certain shoddy commercialism
The clergyman is the tall,
gray haired, Right Rev. Dom
Basil Christopher Butler, Alb
bott of Downside Abbey, Bath,
England.
Visiting in Washington until
Monday, he came here to pre-
side today over the election of
the first abbot of st. Anselm' s

people are taking very little
interest in it.
The English people think
that if all-out nuclear war
comes, there's no defense. We
really just ought to face the
fact that a nuclear war is the
end and take steps to see there
won't be one"
Abbot Butler cautioned that
he was not commenting on
American affairs - only ex-
plaininc some British reactions.
To Visit Elsewhere
Following his visit here the
abbot, who is also author as
well as educator, will visit two
other English Benedictine mon
asteries, at Portsmouth, R. I.
and st. Louis, Mo.
The man elected abbot today
by the vote of 26 monks will
serve eight years. He is eligible
for another term.
Installation will follow in the
monastery church, with Abbot
Butler presiding. The new alb
bot will be blessed in another
installation ceremony Decem-

Secretary Duncan Sandys said
some Commonwealth govern

The American President was

The French leaders plane

For the rest of today and all

themselves in Birch Grove, Mr..

In addition to Berlin they
