Old Proposals

These considerations were not
new to the world, for similar pro-
posalS were contained in the So
Wet memoranda on Berlin and
nuclear testing bans that were
widely printed before the Thurs
day speech.
1t was reaSSuring to peace loving
Russians, however, to hear again
that I'VE do not want another
world war-we want peace. We
have no reason to quarrel with
any people, we want to live in
friendship and accord with all

How could the United States
call itself peace loving and still
not accept his proposal for uni
versal and general disarmament.
Premier Khrushchev asked. 1t
must be as he said. the Americans
are dragging their feet"
And on Berlin and Germany,
the Premier said. the West is
foolishly supporting the successors
to the army which invaded Russia
20 years ago. He can still recall
those horrible wartime years
which devastated his country.

Khrushchev asked. It must be. he

Pessimism Here

Across the seas, Premier Khru-
shchev's renewed demands about
Berlin and Germany, his insist
ence on a peace treaty by the end
of the year, his refusal to COM
promise on his "troika" policy
toward nuclear test bans, and his
broad propaganda-laden disarma-
ment proposals all struck pessi-
mistic chords throughout the
United States.
President Kennedy has said
"our views clashed sharply" in
Vienna, and nothing illustrated
this better than reading of the
two reports. 1t was a case of the
irresistible meeting the immovable
and it seemed inevitable that an
other world crisis was in the
making over Berlin. The feeling
was so grim in many quarters that
one newspaper said. "The real
meaning of (Khrushchev'S) words
was that before the end of this
year. the world could face and
suffer thermonuclear catas-
trophe."
What are the views of the two
nations on these pressing issues,
and what, if any, are the alterna-
tiveS?
The Soviet and the United
States answers to the problems
were on the record.

refusal to john, by the end of the
week, little hope was seen for any
progress in Geneva.
Premier Khrushchev frankly ad-
mitted this when he urged the nu-
clear test ban talks be merged
with the general disarmament
talks which begin on a preliminary
level tomorrow in Washington.
The facts are, he said, that ces-
sation of nuclear testing would
not be enough to prevent a nu-
clear missile war" anyway.

tests, but the existing stocks will
remain, the production of these
arms may continue. and conse-
quently. their stockpiling will go
on. Thus the danger of nuclear
missile war will keep mounting"
Premier Khrushchev said.
The answer lies in solving
without delay, the question of
total and universal disarmament"

The Elements Of a World Crisis

Premier Khrushchev reported
to the Soviet people on his VII
emma talks with President Ken
nedy. His speech emphasized the
sharp differences that separate
both sides on most issues.
The Soviet people switched on
their television sets and sat back
to hear Nikita S. Khrushchev's
long-awaited report on his con-
frontation with John F. Kennedy.
The setting was unusual for Pre-
mier KhruShchev. Instead of
speaking in his normal volatile
manner to a Stadium-full of cheer
ing partiSanS. Premier Khru-
shchev was alone in a television
studio. speaking in calm, meas
ured tones.
This would be a serious speech.
Somberly, the Premier made
clear, the purpose of his appear
ance was Ito state some conSid-
erationS as to what, in our opin-
ion, is the best way Of solving
those disputed or outstanding
problems in relations between
states which have become ripe or
overripe and insistently call for
a solution"

Matter of Procedure

The legislative situation on the
school measure is somewhat con-
fuSing.
House Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack wants the private-pa-
rochial school aid measure-an
amendment to the National De-
fense Education Act-brought up
first. He is supported in this by
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Ribicoff, fact which
would appear to indicate that this,
too, is the White House wish.
But Speaker Rayburn and many
other Democrats, mostly the nom
Catholics, want the general edu-
cation bill brought up and passed
first. They fear that should the
other measure be defeated-and it
might well be-then the SO Catho-
lie Representatives, or many of
them, would be in a mood to re-
taliate by voting against the main
bill.
Late on Friday, three House
subcommittee voted in a joint
session, 12-to-8, for 40-year, low
interest loans to non-public schools
for construction of facilities for
science, mathematics, languages
and physical fitness. The ap-
proved amendment to the NDEA
bill presumably has the blessing
OF Mr.. Kennedy, who last week
maintained a full business Sched-
ule despite his ailing back and
the need for crutches. The vote
was strictly on party lines, with
the Democrats in the majority.]
Meanwhile, it is reported, two
Northern liberal Democrats, nor
mally loyal to Mr.. Rayburn, are
the key factors in the Rules Com
mittee blockade. Both Catholics,
they are Representatives Delaney
OF New York City and Thomas P.
O'Neill, jr.. of Boston. Their votes
give the anti-clearance forces a
majority.
Unless the Delaney-O,Neill duo,
which apparently is adamant, is
persuaded to bulge, Mr.. Rayburn
may have to "rethink" his strategy
on this one.

Disarmament

There once was time when q
controlled nuclear test ban was
thought possible. AS a result Of the
Vienna talks, and Premier Khru-
shchev'S statements last week, only
a cock-eyed optimiSt could still
believe so.
When the Geneva talks began
two and half years ago, the main
obstacle holding up agreement was
the number of inspections each
country was willing to allow within
it's territory.
On the important matter Of the
makeup of the control team, all
sides agreed it should be headed
by a single neutral boss. Since the
resumption of talks this winter,
however, the Russians have in
sisted on the "troika" policy which,
in effect. gives them a veto over
the INSPECTIONS.

Mistake Charged

Chairman Miller, a New York
er, charged on a television pro-
gram that Mr.. Kennedy had, in
a tragic" mistake, "rescinded
ard revoked" an Eisenhower ad-
ministration plan to protect the
anti-CaStro Cuban invaders with
United States warplaneS. Senator
Scott Of Pennsylvania, a former
G. o. P. chairman, supported the
Miller charges.
The fact that, the next day,
former President Eisenhower said
no Cuban rebel invasion plan had
been approved by him and, that
consequently, no decision on
United States air cover had been
made, did not slow down the Mil
ler-Scott combination.
Speaking before the National
Press Club on Tuesday, Mr.. Miller
asserted that Mr.. Eisenhower
would never have approved a
Cuban invasion plan which did
not provide air cover for the rebels.
The next day, Senator Scott
returned to the firing line to back
up his colleague. He said he was
authorized by sources close to Mr..
Eisenhower to say that the latter
would not have, under any circum-
stances, approved an invasion
plan which did not call for ade-
quate air cover.

More DELAY

suggesting they resume within
two weeks.
For six and a half years France
and the Algerian rebels FLN)
have waged a war over freedom
for Algeria So'vicious that at times
it has bordered on barbarism.
Communication had been so in
frequent that when peace talks
for the first time began four
weeks ago in Evian-leS-BainS, no
one knew what to expect. Because
the first few meetings were held
in a cautious and calm atmoS-
phere, hopes were raised that the
bloody and costly war might soon
be ended.
OptimiStS easily overlooked the
frequent bombings and the con-
tinued massacres by French and
Algerian extremists who wanted
no part of the peace talks.
Last weeks decision by the
French to suspend the talks in
dicated more than ever that
neither side has yet begun to
trust the other. The emotionally
charged Algerian issues will take
time and good faith to solve.
There is plenty of the former,
and unfortunately little of the
latter.
Both sides agree that the prob
lens themselves are not complex,
but saying this, and then reach
ing an agreement, are two sepa-

Laos:
Good Sign

Laos three warning princes
agreed yesterday to reconcile
their differences and decide on
a single delegation to represent
their country at the Geneva
talks.
The decision by the princes
may bring long-sought peace to
the troubled Southeast Asian
kingdom.
One Of the stumbling blocks at
the Geneva conference trying to
negotiate a settlement in Laos has
been the refusal of the three diff
ferent factions to come to any
understanding themselves.
The pro-Western Prince Boun
Gum had refused to sit at the
same table with the neutral Prince
Souvana Phouma and pro-Com-
munist Prince Souphanouvong.
This had made it difficult for
the Western negotiatorS, since
their own man was boycotting the
talks.
The immediate hope, as result
OF the agreement, is that cease
fire can be arranged, so the talks
can get on to more substantive

Suspend Talks

At Evian, the French and AL
gerianS repeated their arguments
over and over. When it seemed no
headway was being reached, the
French suspended the talks to give
both sides a chance to reconsider
their positions.
To give impetus to the talks,
the French had announced a
month-long cease fire that they
renewed indefinitely last week.
AlgerianS, however, called it a
propaganda move to weaken their
strength.
They have refused to put down
their arms until a political settle
ment is reached. Their leaders
say if they stop fighting and a
settlement is not reached, it might
take 20 years to start a new revo-
luton.

rearmed Germany is real indeed.
Premier Khrushchev said a
treaty formulating the borders
could help prevent hostilities
which he said would "mean war
and a thermometer war at
that"
The United States supports
West Germany's demand for a
unified Germany. The United
States has no intention of rec
ognizing East Germany, and
President Kennedy has said no
peace treaty would be signed un-
til free and universal elections
we're held throughout Germany.
President Kennedy said two
weeks ago that I'VE are not seek
ing to change the present situa-
ton" in which Allied troops are
stationed in West Berlin and
have access rights guaranteed by
treaty with the Russians. In a
Soviet-East German treaty there
is an implied threat that war
might break out over access rights
if the East Germans try another
Berlin blockade.
With little compromise visible
in these conflicting views, Senate
Majority Leader Mansfield brought
a fresh approach to the subject
in urging that all Of Berlin be
made a free city under interna-
tional protection.
This, he said, would be third
way" between the two positions.
He said it was his own idea, and
not the administrators. The con-
cept, however, met strong oppo-
Sition.
West Germany Immediately re-
jected the idea, because it would
deepen the division" OF Ger
many. Observers also doubted If
the Mansfield proposal would be
acceptable to the Communists
who carefully have avoided in
cluding East Berlin in any plan
to set up a free city.
Immediate prospects were for
a hardening of positions and an
increase of tensions this summer.
There is a possibility that the
Russians will call an interna-
tional conference to sign a peace
treaty, in which case it is not
likely the West would attend.
Evening star., 1961-06-18
Berlin

If, as Premier Khrushchev
says, the lack of a German peace
treaty "keeps alive the smoldering
Goals of World War H." then
Berlin is the bellows that could
enflame the world in another con-
flagration.
During the 16 years Germany
and Berlin have been divided, the
Russians have had only to squeeze
the bellows and world tensions
have flared anew.
Premier Khrushchev famed the
flames again last week in calling
for a peace treaty which would
recognize formally the existence
of two German states and end the
Vests occupation rights in West
Berlin. Mr.. Khrushchev said if
the West was willing to sign such
a treaty then he would help
guarantee West Berlin's existence
as a free city, with necessary
access routes.
If the West does not join the
Soviet Union. however, in signing
such treaty, he said the Rus
slams would sign unilaterally with
the East Germans before the end
of the year. This would force the
West to make it's own arrange
mentS with the East Germans,
situation observers fear might
lead to war if the East Germans
try to block access routes to the
city.
In his latest speech, Premier
Khrushchev said "the conclusion
of a peace treaty with Germany
cannot be postponed any longer.
A peaceful settlement in Europe
must be attained this year."
The Premier's haste is due ap-
parently to fear that West Ger
many might become so strong it
would be willing to start war to
"liberate" East Germany or to re-
claim land ceded at the end of
the war to Poland.

fears seem groundleSs, but as any
visitor to the Soviet Union can
testify, the fear in Russia of a

Stevenson Hit

But the Senator went beyond
this. He charged that Adlai E. Ste
venson, United States Ambassador
to the United Nations and a IA
vorite target of many Republicans,
was largely responsible for a last
minute White House decision to
withhold air cover from the Cuban
freedom fighters during their
abortive assault on April IT. Mr..
Stevenson's U. N. office branded
the charge as totally false and
irresponsible.
Mr.. Kennedy has said he as
sumed full responsibility for the
Cuban fiaSco. But he encouraged
those administration officials in
volved to give the press back
ground" information on it. In
addition, he briefed Democratic
and Republican congressional
leaders.
He has not briefed the Ameri-
can people, however. The result
has been confusion and, now, the
creation of a brand-new political
football. Barring an official White
Paper, or somesuch, this business
appears due to be kicked around
a good deal more.
Last night the Republican Ma
tional Committee, in it's review of
the just-released World War II
Cairo and Teheran conference
papers, charged that Franklin D.
Roosevelt had arbitrarily doomed
free nations to munist
slavery" And it accused Mr..
Kennedy of "secret one-man"
diplomacy at Vienna, which gave
Premier Khrushchev "a chance to
open a new drive to obtain effec-
tive control of Berlin."]
The lively and provocative Mr..
Miller also stirred things up with
in the Republican Party last week
when he appeared to be trying to
push former Vice President Nixon
into the 1862 California guberna-
torial race against Gov. Edmund
(Pat) Brown.

French Fears

The French fear if they give
Algeria it's freedom before secur-
ing these rights, they will never
gain them. Europeans, they say,
might be treated as second-class
citizens, deprived of their French
citizenship and their French cul-
ture. Decades of French invest
ment might be lost by impetuous
naturalization, they fear.
The Algerians, angered by
French refusal to accept their
word on good faith, want inde-
pendence first and then, they say,
they will discuss the other issues.
The two sides also are stale
mated over the Sahara and it's
rich oil and gas deposits. The
rebels want it because the desert
region was formerly considered an
administrative part of Algeria.
France, instead, has proposed
multi-national control of the area,
with France the principal economic
beneficiary. 1t gained support for
this view last week from TuneSia
and Mali formerly French Sudan
which also border on the Sahara.

ploitation of what once was a bar

They still do.

good deal of Illustration within
the breasts of the more partisan

the major mistakes of the five
month-old Kennedy administra-
ton have been, it is widely
agreed, in the international tield.
