Truman Given BeIuted Credit

Space and Aeronautics Ad-
ministration.
Paul Mite. who now is AS
sistant Secretary Of Defense
in charge Of international
security affairs, served in
various capacities under
Democratic administrations
beginning in 1889 and was
director Of the policy plan
ming staff of the Secretary
of State from 1850 to 1852
under President Truman.
Eugene M. zuckert, who
now is Secretary of the Air
Force. served as Assistant
Secretary of the Air Force
from 1947 to 1852 and as q
member of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission from 1852
to 1854.
Roger Tubby, who was as
sistant press secretary for Mr..
Truman at the White House
from 1850 to 1852 and had
served previously as an IN
formation officer in other
departments Of the Govern
ment, now is Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Public AZ
fairs.
There are several other
men who were first appointed
by President Truman and
now hold important posts in
the Kennedy administration.
Among them is George Nc
Ghee, who is chairman of the
policy planning council in the
State Department but who
served in that department
under the Truman admin
iStration as Assistant Secre-
tary for Near Eastern, South
Asian and African Affairs.
Also there's Averell Hartman,
who was Secretary Of Com
merce under President Tru-
man and is now rowing am
basSador. Likewise, David K.
Bruce, now Ambassador to
Great Britain, was Under
secretary of State from 1949
to 1852 in the Truman ad-
ministration.
What does all this prove?
That experience counts in
Government and a President
who needs a specialist for a
particular job doesn't stop to
think how a man might have
voted before but considers
primarily whether he has the
knowledge and background to
do the job. Nor is President
Kennedy an exception in ap-
plying that rule in the White
House.

WILLIAM S. WHITE

There is not a speck, not a
mote, not the faintest shade
of the smallest doubt that the
United States is fully and
coolly prepared to use the
atomic bomb if need be in de-
tense of West Berlin, West
Germany and the free worlds
position in Europe.
There is not a grain of
doubt that our atomic power
is many times that of the
Soviet Union.
There is not a grain of
doubt that Nikita KhruShchev
knows this as well as we do
and possibly better.
There is therefore an al
most total certainty - al
most" because only we our
selves could with mortal
foolishness talk him out of
this present certainty-that
Mr.. Khrushchev will never in
the showdown challenge us to
an all-out, nuclear war.
OF all this, no rational
being talking long with Sec
rotary Of Defense Robert Nc
Namara, as this correspond
ent has just done, could have
any rational question. This
man heads all the military
services Of the United States.
If he doesn't know what the
facts are, nobody knows.
He is not political; and
he is not a propaganda. He
could not care less who is a
Democrat and who is a Re-
publican, for he himself has
been both, in a small way as
a voter.
He is a big businessman,
the former President of Ford
Motor Company, who now
runs the biggest Of all power
businesses, the Pentagon.
He trusts in power; not in
images"
He will never hesitate to

Foreign Aid Bill Was Wotered Down
Despite Mojorities in Both Houses

watered down the foreign aid
bill too.
The White House has now
to answer the question of how
much did it in fact gain by
the tactics it pursued. Has
the President secured a firm
base Of Republican support
for his foreign policy or
muted the voices of Republi-
can critics? Or has he only
enlarged the area OF Demo-
cratic dissension?
Evidence bearing on the
first answer is not encourag-
ing. Recently in Chicago,
former President Eisenhower
shocked and angered the
President by the force of his
criticism of the administra-
ton. The new Republican
national chairman, Repre-
sentative Miller, continues
to play it rough in every
area of dispute with the
party in power.
Gov. Rockefeller of New
York switched positions in
the dangerous hours of for
eign aid and is described
now as feeling that he too
must play ball with the con-
servatives of his party. Rich
ard Nixon has re-entered the
political arena and no favors
can be expected Of him.
The Democrats will prob
ably make known their views
more cautiously. But Ken

DORIS FLEESON

President Kennedy's politi-
cal base of strength dissolved
almost completely in the final
weeks of the session of Con-
gress just concluded. The
fact Is significant for many
reasons.
This was his honeymoon
Congress in which his party
held substantial majorities in
the Senate and House. Those
majorities we're led by men
whose loyalty to the President
and his campaign pledges is
unquestioned. On the side
lines lowered Vice President
johnson, renowned as a po-
lihcal technician.
During the period Of
dissolution-which at times
amounted to insurrection-
the Presidents whole atten-
ton was turned elsewhere.
His own energies and his
power Of bargaining were
concentrated on foreign pol
icy, including the foreign aid
bill.
His natural allies and party
regulars had to play second
fiddle while the President
sought feverishly for Repub-
lican appointees to bolster
him in the foreign field and
presidential lieutenants wa
tered down still further
domestic programs which Mr..
Kennedy had in part COM
promised at the start. In the
end, as might have been fore
seen, the runaway House

Will u. S. Use the Atom Bomb?

Soviet Union, running all the
way from merely nasty local
actions to a Soviet military
attack on the West.
Premier Khrushchev always
knew that if he acted at the
top end of this scale-with an
invasion of Europe, for ex-
ample-we would drop the
bomb. But until the troop
buildup in Germany he had
the whole length of the scale
below that very top point in
which to probe. For at the
bottom of the scale we had
no genuine military power at
hand.
This is to be a shell no
longer and thus his field for
testing is sharply narrowed.
He can no longer act with
impunity anywhere along the
lower end of the scale. For a
formidable, if local. Allied
troop and air power would
meet his local thrust at once.
And these greatly strength
ened conventional forces
would by instant resistance
ring alarm bells which could
not before this have been
rung, simply because there
were no real conventional
forces to ring them. Thus. a
cumulative early warning de-
vice is now set up. Mr.. Khru-
shchev no longer needs to
grasp our very Threats, at the
top Of the scale, to get a
fight. -
Because the warning bells
are able 10 ring at the bot
tom of the scale, as before
this they could not convinc-
ingly do, why suddenly as
sumo that the bell at the very
top-the bell of atomic reac-
tion-has lost its voice?
Or, to put it another way,
because the West now has a
AS pistol where before it had
only a %, why assume that
the atomic rifle is now some
how being disregarded?
