Britain Hopes Troops
Won't Have to Fiqht

Gaitskell to brief him on the
latest Developments.
Mr.. GaitSkell told newsmen
afterward the Labor Party is
solidly behind the government.
I'VE made it plain in the
recent agreement with Kuwait
that if we were asked for help
it would be forthcoming" Mr..
Gaitekell said. "In view Of the
real possibility of an attack by
Iraq and the request from the
ruler of Kuwait, I don't see
how we could have refused. "
No Domestic Controversy
1t was clear the Kuwait move
aroused none of the fierce
domestic controversy such as
characterized the Suez invasion
of 1856, in which Britain was
joined with France while Israel
moved in from the east.
Britons generally appeared
unalarmed by the prospect of
another Middle East flareup.

LONDON, July 1 (AP). -
Prime Minister Harold Mac
milan tonight urged Iraq's
Premier Abdel Karin Kassem
not to force a showdown over
Kuwait. He voiced hope that
the British forces now pouring
in to Kuwait will never need
to join battle.
II still trust that the threats
against Kuwait are no more
than words and that the gov
ernment of Iraq will refrain
from aggressive action" Mr..
Macmillan said in a speech at
Calne, in West England.
The Prime Minister'S state
ment came only a few hours
after British warships, planes,
tanks and marines moved in
to protect the desert state from
threats of annexation by Iraq.
The threats stirred sharp
alarm in Britain which buys
about 40 per cent of its crude
oil from Kuwait. Oil produc-
ton is in the hands of British,
American and Japanese inter-
eStS.
And Formally Asked
Mr.. Macmillan said British
forces entered in response to
an urgent and formal request
for aid by Kuwait's ruler,
Sheik Sir Abdullah As-Salim
As-Sabah and have been placed
at the sheik's disposal.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Mac
milan conferred with his de-
tense chiefs and senior min
listers on the military moves
in the Middle East. He also
had 20-minute meeting with

Much hope for q settlement was

terday to friendly Arab govern
ments to moderate in the dis
pute.
Diplomatic sources indicated
that Britain's buildup of forces
in Kuwait would continue over

Aid Bills Suffer

Foreign aid remains perhaps
the most difficult program to
administer in obligating money
on a yearly basis" a Budget
Bureau official noted. And il
is foreign aid that Congressman
such as Mr.. Passman have at
tackled most heavily on this
point.
Aid officials explain that
their budget is tied to decisions
by many foreign governments,
and the red tape can hold up
millions Of dollars for months,
President Kennedy himself
just two months ago took note
of the problem, asking Con-
gresS for authority to make
long-term com mitm e n is
abroad.
Real progress in economic
d evelopm ent cannot be
achieved by annual short-term
dispensations he said.
Congress is sometimes TO
blame for the year-end SPEND
ing furry. If a money bill
stalls until July, August or
September, obviously an agency
can't gets its spending off the
runway for that many months,
so the pressure builds toward
the end of the year.
Purchasing agents are under
pressure also from big business,
the small business bloc, and
individual Congressman in the
award of contracts. All these
things can cause weeks of de-
lay.
Il don't know if the 20 per
cent rule has helped" sighed
one officer. Il wasn't in pro-
curement seven ago. But I do
know this: June is the busiest
month in the year for procure
ment people around here"
The likelihood is remote,
agents agree, of an aide saun-
tering in on June Is and tri-
umphantly announcing, "Chief,
I've just saved you SO mil
lion. :"
But what can an executive
do when that does occur?
well, we'd probably get it
spent somehow" admitted one
official.
"And then" he added with
a thoughtful look at the CELL
ing, "we'd ask that guys heirs
how the hell it ever happened"

ficial. Everybody has 1920
hindsight vision"
The status of the purchasing
officer presents another deli
cate problem. Like the young
lady in the musical "Oklaho-
mai" he's a guy who can't
say no.
Generally a purchasing Off
GER does not have the power to
refuse if his boss cites funds
and wants to spend them"
commented an executive in the
Bureau of the Budget.
THE program officer-who
outranks the purchasing man
may discover in June he
needed a new chair. back in
January" explained an Agri-
culture Department official.
This puts the agent in a spot.
If he refuses to obligate the
money, he's called a bureau
crat. If he orders it, the audi
tors notice it and ask How

Agriculture Got Slapped
Agriculture is not under the
20 per cent rule, but it is SUBJ
Ject to apportionment, a prac-
tice where the Budget Bureau
requires steady spending in
each quarter of the year.
Agriculture is also gun-shy
about Splurging late in the year
because of congressional rep
rimand dating back to World
War II. AS a result no bids in
volving an annual budget may
be opened after June Is, and
on construction bids, none can
be opened after May is.
I'VE know the kind of things
we once had to pull ourselves"
said a highly placed budget Of
ficial, so we look for them
now that we're on the other
side of the fence"
One of the major aids in
avoiding the June spending
binge has been the rise of the
continuing obligation" idea,
where a spending program is
spread over several years and
no June 80 deadline looms each
year.
The General Services Admin
lstration uses this revolving
fund approach, for example,
and perhaps three-fourths of
the Defense Departments huge
budget is also on a continuing
basis,

Cuban Issue No Place for Politics

to carry on guerrilla warfare.
Also, it is well known that
Vice President Nixon has been
recommending right along
that the Central Intelligence
Agency confine itself to in
formation-gathering and that
it be relieved of any respon-
sibility for guiding guerrilla
operations. For this is largely
a military problem. One re-
suit of the discussions has
been a determination by
Pre- eside t Kennedy to
strengthen Americas facili-
ties for helping guerrilla op-
erationS on our side, especial
ly since the Soviets specialize
in that sort of thing nova
days. He has asked Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor to study
the problem and recommend
a plan of operations for the
future.
A lack of coordination is
inevitable when one admins
tration goes out and another
comes in. Theoretical discus
sions about the transition
period" are helpful, but they
cannot become a substitute
for actual experience. The
United States changed horses
in mid-Stream" and is today
paying the penalty for it.
Next time a presidential elec-
ton comes up. some serious
thought will have to be given
to a system that will preserve
the continuity of operations
on the world front irrespec-
tive of who is the victor in
the contest for electoral votes.
One thing is clear. Mr..
Castro will make the mistake
of his life If he thinks the So

him anything in the long run.
Mass executions will only in

possibly involve the use Of

In a few weeks this re-
porter will sail across the
Atlantic and up the Mediter-
ranean to Naples, and thence
by train to Rome. For the
next two years, the assign
ment will be to cover at first
hand the extraordinary de-
velopments in Western Eu-
ropes almost miraculous rec
overy, political as well as
economic, from the disaster
of World War II.
And, Of course, from the
vantage point of the Italian
capital, we will be close at
hand to cover the next mani
festations of militant COM
munism's penetration of the
Middle East and Africa.
Except for occasional trips
to Europe, the Middle East,
and Asia. this reporter has
covered the Washington
scene for more than 81 years.

achieve.
On leaving our old beat"
for a while, however, it seems
a few reflections might be in
order. We would like to leave
a few observations on the
nature of things American
today as they appear to a
reporter on the point of leav-
ing for a new environment
and new perspectives. Here
they are.
First of all, every American
ought to know that the true
voice Of America is not in
Washington, not in that fas-
cinating stretch of American
government between the
White House and the Hill.

and throatS of all Americans.
