To Move Surplus Food

Negro and some white leaders
who said there was in fact a
great need and that action of
the county authorities was a
facet of local controversies over
segregation.
Under normal procedure, the
task of certifying the eligibility
of individuals for surplus foods,
and for unloading and dis
tributing the foods. falls upon
the public welfare agencies.
Handled by State
In the case of these two
counties, certification is being
handled, the spokesman said,
by the State Welfare Depart
ment at the direction of the
Governor of the State.
The distribution, which is
scheduled to begin Monday
from armories at Brownsville
and Somerville. will be handled
by Agriculture Department per-
sonnel. The spokesman said
the Governor made the armories
available for such use,
The spokesman said Haywood
County Withdrew from the pro-
gram in August, 1859, and
Fayette County in April, 1858.
He said at the time each county
had about $4,000 persons certi-
fled as being eligible for the
food.

Administration
Weighs Move
In Berlin Issue
BY EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy is striv-
ing to steer a middle course
on Berlin that neither exag-
gerates nor downgrades the
possibilities of a serious crisis.
Administration officials say
they doubt Russia will permit
the dispute to develop into
war But they also feel the
Nation must be aroused so that
it will be prepared for such
an eventuality.
And while these leaders said
there is no desire to exaggerate
the situation, they concede the
administration hopes to exploit
it to gather support for Mr..
Kennedy'S program.
Danger Pointed Out
The President. they say, does
not wish to call. for instance,
for a vast mobilization. but he
does think the situation has
sufficient potential danger to
require a generally expanded
national effort in such fields
as foreign aid, civil and mill
tary defense and space.
Selling the Nation on the
need for an expanded budget
to finance these programs
tends to invite an exaggera-

German Leader Walter Ul-
bricht's prediction yesterday
that the Berlin crisis will pass
off peacefully" may be efforts
to undercut Presioent Ken
nedy's moves to arouse the
Nation to greater efforts.
On the other hand, if the
Berlin problem is not taken
quite so seriously. the danger is
that Mr.. Khrushchev will be
encouraged to apply greater
pressure to oust the West from
Berlin.
The Kremlin is believed to
have a whole range of objectives
in the Berlin situation.
The maximum would be to

The Agriculture Department
is bypassing local authorities
TO move surplus foods into Hay
wood and Fayette Counties in
TIE n nessee where local officials
have said there is no need for
it. A spokesman said President
Kennedy is interested in seeing
this be done.
Trouble has developed in
these counties over voting by
Negro sharecroppers. Some of
the sharecroppers. displaced
from farms, moved into tent
cities.
Normally, the department
makes surplus foods available
for local distribution only when
requests are made by public
State and county welfare agen-
cies.
% See No Demand
A spokesman said the two
Tennessee counties Withdrew
from the program some time
ago, explaining that there was
no need or public demand for
it.
The spokesman said protests

public acceptance of the status
quo in Eastern Europe, includ-
ing some arrangement for West
Berlin to slide, quickly or
slowly into the Soviet orbit.
Should this happen, Washing
tons position around the world,
particularly in the crucial un-
derdeveloped areas, would be
greatly Damaged.
A minimum Soviet objective,
presumably, would be to shake
the confidence of the West
Berliners in the faithfulness of
the United States and its allies.
This could lead to a slow exodus
of West Berliners to West Ger
many or a gradual strangula-
ton Of West Berlin by East
Germany.

ton of the gravity Of the Berlin
situation, officials say.
At the same time, they fear
the administration could pre-
cipitate the real crisis it is try
ing to avoid by rushing into a
vast mobilization program. Rus
Sia could misjudge this as prep
aration for war, they explain.
So far, Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev appears not to have
made any misjudgment. He is
sensitive to the Presidents
strategy, officials are con-
vinced.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

@. We call our future space
men "astronauts" but the Rus
slams call their man Yuri a
"cosmonaut." Which do you
think is the better name?
e. N. NJ, Riverside, Conn.
A. I'm afraid that, as the
Madison Avenue lads would
say, the Russians have bested
us wordwise as well as space
wise. Our word "astronaut"
(from the Greek words "as-
tron," star, and "nautes,"
sailor or seaman) aptly labels
a person who sails among the
stars. But the stars are not
the whole of our cosmos drom
the Greek "kosmos" meaning
"universeD. So it would seem
that "cosmonaut" is more all
encompassing than "aStro-
naut."
Perhaps "cosmonaut" was
also chosen with a thought to
Its propagand implications,
since cosmos implies not mere
ly the universe but specifically
a universe conceived as an or
derly, harmonious system.
HHH
@. Just when did our scient-
lists decide that they would use
the "countdown" method Of
setting the starting time for
things like rocket-launchings?
In my youth-and still today
in track meets and the like
we set things In motion by
simply saying. "One. two,
three-Go."-M. L. c., Stam-
ford, Conn.
A. Intriguingly enough, the
creator Of the "countdown'
technique is motion-picture di-
rector Fritz Lang, whose CHIEF
claim hitherto to fame was his
direction Of the silent-film
classic, M" In the late 1920s
Lang directed one Of the very
