President Kennedy's po-
litical advisers have a right
to preen themselves on their
skill in candidate politics,
but they are less successful
in the intricate game of issue
politics. This was evident in
the mixed results of the leg
islative session ending last
September.
Politicians on the firing
line for the Presidents poll
icies charged this off to the
necessary education Of a
new team in the White
House. They are not happy
to discover that in the trade
offensive just launched. the
same aides are urging the old
techniqueS which yielded such
disappointing returns.
The Trade Agreements Act,
which gives the President
power to negotiate recipro-
cal tariff cuts, expires June
80 next. He would like now
to take what a congressional
committee report calls a
giant step forward" in the
direction Of closer economic
relations with the whole of
the non Communist world.
The President looks on this
project as absolutely neces-
Ssry If the West is to COM
pete successfully with the
Communist world and CO.
exist with it securely. It is
the 1860 version Of the Cor
dell Hull slogan of peace
through trade on which the
orig In a l reciprocal trade
agreements were based dur
ing the early '30s.
The drive for it has opened
on two fronts and under BIZ
partisan auspices. George e
Ball, Undersecretary Of State
for Economic Affairs, sound
ed the tocsin at a National
Foreign Trade convention.
Christian A. Herter, Secretary
Of State under President Eli
senhower, and Will Clayton,
a Truman UnderSecretary of
State, joined in a call for a
trade partnership" with Eu-
rope.
The Presidents political
associates already are argu-
ing that this is too big a dose,
especially for an election

What about presidential
press conferences, an institu-
ton for which Mr.. Kennedy
has shown less than wild en-
thusiam in past weeks.
II think a President should
hold a press conference once
a week." he said.
His TrOika Plan
He had given thought to a
troika Of past Presidents, to be
made up Of him, Herbert
Hoover and Dwight D. Eisen-
hover?
"Mr. Hoover and I have al
ready formed one," he replied.
Hes the president, and I'm
the secretary, and the other
fellow hasn't been taken in
yet"
Should Mr.. Eisenhower run
for the Senate in PENNSYLVANIA.
He didn't know about that,
Mr.. Truman said dryly, but
He wouldn't dare run in

Mr.. Truman let 1t be known
he doesn't hold much with tel

a fellow means it unless you're

but yet-"you've got to show
yourself to the people"-but
otherwise the modern world is
nothing anyone has to ap-
proach with fear and trem-
bling.

What the world sorely
needs today is not more talk
about fallout shelters. but
more information directly
from the President of the
United States on the military
power of this country - its
ability to destroy an enemy
If there should be any kind
Of attack.
Some speeches have been
made by lesser officials and
brief comments have lately
appeared in White House
statements, but all these are
not a substitute for a COM
prehensive pronouncement by
the President that the whole
world would read and accept
as authoritative.
Why is it so important?
Because if the peoples of all
the world could realize that
the United States is capable
Of destroying an aggressor,
attention would really turn
to the restraining influence
that could be exerted upon
such an aggreSSor. The de-
mand would arise not merely
for a limitation of armament
but for eventual non-uSe Of
any nuclear weapons.
To achieve any kind of
balance. however, requires
something far more effective
than merely a paper agree
ment signed by an interna-
tional conference in Geneva
or anywhere else. 1t requires
the only assurance that can
be given against another
world war - the establish
ment Of a free system Of gov
ernment in Russia and in
her several colonies now cap
tive behind the Iron Curtain.
The sooner this is recog-
nized as the paramount issue
the greater the chance for
the early achievement Of a
true peace in the world. For,
while the Communists may
remove the body of Stain
from its place of promi-
nence in Moscow, it is
significant that they have

failed thus far to show the
slightest intention Of bury
ing his ideaS-faithleSsnesS
to the pledged word, bluff,
bluster, threats, and a form
Of tyranny as old as the des-
potism of a Caesar.
But how can the men who
hold power in the Soviet
government today be de-
prived of their position Of
authority? Only by the will
of the people. And how can
that be done? Only by pene-
trating the Communist coun-
tries with official statements
and ideas that will eventually
convince the 200 million peo-
pie of the Soviet Union
and the many millions more
under the Communist yoke
that to set up a free gov
ernment is the only way to
prevent a nuclear war and
the destruction of millions of
human beings.
Once the issue is fully un-
derStood, the people Of the
Soviet Union can be de-
pended upon to exercise their
concerted will at least to pre-
serve their own lives.
The first step, therefore, is
for the President to put aside
any qualms about being ac-
cuSed of "saber-rattling" and
tell the whole story Of Amer
ica's bomber and missile
strength. For Mr.. Khrush-
chev has certainly manifested
no such sensitivity lately, and
he has actually joked about
his mistake" in setting off
something even more terri
flying than the 50-megaton
bomb that had been planned.

Under the proposal, Mr.. Bala-

placing Gen. Rodriguez

The strikers disregarded an
anti-strike appeal by Gen.
Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria,
armed forces secretary, issued
shortly before the hour set for
the walkout. He urged the peo-

The 0.9 per cent increase in
the overall living costs was the

Price changes from Septem-

Housing Costs Up
But several important items
rose and more than offset the
drop in grocery bills. The
transportation index went up
0.6 per cent, mostly because of
a 80 per cent increase in the
dealers selling prices for new
cars. Prices of used cars in

prices dropped by 1.3 per cent.
Housing costs moved up OIL

maintenance, and household
operation. These. together with
seasonal increases in coal and

cline in the price of house fur

date, it was learned today.
B. G. Macnabb, head of
operations for the General
DynamicS Corp. here, said his
company has been instructed to
get an Atlas missile on the
launching pad as soon as pos
sible after the pad is vacated
by a similar rocket carrying a
chimpanzee.
The chimp shot, officially
designated "Mercury-Atlas S"
is scheduled for tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Macnabb said techni-
clans will start to work re-
furnishing the fire-damaged
pad for Mercury-AtlaS within
hours after the chimp launch
ing. A "refurbishment kit
consisting of new cables, paints
and other materials needed to
repair normal fire damage was
being laid out today. The
Atlas chief said refurbishment
after a launching takes about
48 hours if no unusual dam
age has been done to the pad
in the rockets fiery takeoff.
Checking out the Atlas on
the pad before putting the
Mercury space capsule on top
of it takes about five days, ="
he went on. Then it takes
II days to check out the whole
system - capsule and bird -
after the capsule is in place.
That's 18 days.

Paul P. Haney, NASA news
chief, confirmed that General
Dynamics had been given in
structions to try for a Decem-
Der 20 launching date. But I'd
say it's just a mathematical
possibility" Mr.. Haney added.
The December 20 launching
depends not only on good luck
and good management in get
ting rocket and capsule ready,
but also on the outcome of to-
morrow's chimp shot. The men
in charge of Project Mercury
have insisted on orbiting the
chimpanzee as a necessary pre-
liminary checkout of the entire
Mercury system before risking

Failure of any significant
part of the complicated, world
wide Mercury apparatus would
require corrective action that
would almost certainly push

Mr.. Abzhubei, whom the Pres
ident described at one point as
both "a newspaperman and a

Mr.. Kennedy'S statements with
the Soviet point of view on the
matters under discussion.
In all the approximately
5000 words of the transcript of
the discussion, the Soviet Jour-
nalist asked only eight ques-
tions of the President. But the
Russian had 1877 lines in the
transcript to 359 for Mr.. Ken

Still. the publication of
the Presidents remarks py L.

peaceful intentions and what
