For Years, Stair Says

it does, Mr.. Sahr said, is fam
taStic.
Mr.. Stahr said President
Kennedy had made it clear he
was not trying to downrate the
need for nuclear striking power
But, the Secretary added,
Mr.. Kennedy realized that total
reliance on strong nuclear
forces would encourage the
Communists to create more
local incidents "tnat would
place us in the position of
either backing down on our
commitments or triggering a
nuclear war"
That was the reason, Mr..
Stahr added, that Mr.. Kennedy
acted to strengthen conven-
tional forces and give the
United States the capability to
halt and turn back the eX-
pansion of communism with
out inviting chaos"
Mr.. Stahr said there have
been a series of Communist
aggression since the Korean
War despite United States pos
session of a nuclear deterrent.
DIFFERENCE has worked
where we have had American
servicemen on the ground-or
where, as in Lebanon, we got
them there fast" he added.

OF West German Chief

might force a change in Their
position.
The Free Democratic Party
Executive Committee and its
Bundestag Deputies met yester-
day to consider the coalition
problem. After the meeting
the party said it would meet
with Mr.. Adenauer Monday,
but left the question of his
acceptability open.
The meeting was described
by party officials as stormy
with many Deputies accusing
Party Leader Erich Mende, A,
of going too far in his public
opposition to Mr.. Adenauer.
While the Free Democrats
previously said the Chancellor
problem must be top item at
coalition negotiations, they now
repeatedly want first to discuss
domestic and foreign policy and
take UP the leadership question
last.
Mr.. Adenauer has already
talked with Socialist leaders.
The Free Democrats fear a
Socialist Christian Democratic
coalition if they continue to
hold out against him.
Some Free Democrats have
said privately they would
rather go with Mr.. Adenauer
than become the opposition.
They have 66 seats in the Bun
destag. compared with the 241
held by Mr. Adenauer's party
and 100 by the Socialists.

BONN. Germany, Sept. 80
(AP).-The question of who
will make up a new govern
ment for West Germany was
wide open again today as the
Free Democratic Party recon-
sidered its conditions for TAX
ing part in a coalition cabinet.
The Free Democrats, who
hold the balance of power in
the Bundestag dover house,
seem to have shifted from their
earlier refusal to participate
in a government headed by
Konrad Adenauer. They now
appear to have adopted a
wait-and-see position.
Late this week, the Free
Democrats hinted their opposi-
tion to the 85-year-old Chan
cellor might be changing in
the face of a concerted effort
by the powerful Socialists to
get into a coalition with the
Christian Democrats. With the
loss of its absolute Bundestag
majority in the September II
election, Mr.. Adenauer's party
must seek partners.
The Free Democrats said the
Socialist move, plus the re-
fusal of Economics Minister
Ludwig Erhard to try for the
chancellorship, might force a
change in their position. Mr..
Erhard was their top choice
to lead a new government.
The Free Democrats said

Pilots Threaten
Not to Fly DC-8
Over FAA Quiz

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 80 (AP)
Six hundred Eastern Air
Lines pilots say they will stop
flying DC-8 jets in three days
if the Federal Aviation Agency
doesn't assure them the planes
hydraulic system is safe.
The pilots raised the safety
question in a telegram sent
last night to Najeeb Halaby,
FAA director, by Council 18
of the Air Line Pilots AsSocia-
ton.
Silence on this question will
force us to suspend operation
on DEB aircraft which is used
on Eastern Air Lines within
three days" the telegram said
The protest was a result of
a new FAA regulation requir-
ing pilots to answer 10 true
or-false questions on the Doug
las DC-8 hydraulic system.
Capt. John D. Payne, chair
man of Council 18. said that
safety of the system was an
FAA matter, not the pilots
responsibility. He indicated
that the test might be used to
blame pilots for a crash when
the real cause might lie else
where.
Il ask you is the airplane
safe or not" Capt. Payne said
in the telegram.
Capt. Payne said the DC-S
hydraulic syste m has been
under scrutiny because of sew
eral failures. The pilots could
tie up at least Is DC-8 flights
which come and go from Miami
daily.
There was no comment from
Eastern or Mr.. Halaby.

Moscow has been actively WOO
ing into the neutralist camp
for more than a year.
ManeuverS Seen
Informants said the Rus
slams had made the commit
ment hoping to cash in on
Morocco's claim to Mauritania.
In return for keeping out the
African state, they apparently
expect Morocco to intensity
its drive against United States
air bases there.
The United States has agreed
to withdraw by gradual stages,
but the Russians are reported
fearful the Moroccans may re-
consider because of the result
ant loss of income.
Russia was reported to have
felt a promise to Morocco was
all to her advantage since the
Nationalist were going to veto
Mongolia anyway and she could
say her move against Mauri-
tania was in repriSal.
The Western powers have
outmaneuvered the Soviet Un-
ion by persuading the council
to act first on Mauritania and
then Mongolia. This would
make it awkward for the Rus
slams to claim they were coun-
tering a Nationalist veto that
had not yet been cast.
The NationalistS are hoping
there will be enough negative
votes-or abstentionS-in the
council to defeat Mongolia's
application without their veto.
Seven affirmative votes are
needed for the Council to act.
The NationaliSts vetoed Mon
golia's application in 1855, pro-
voking a Soviet veto that
blocked Japan's admission until
the following year. The Rus
slams first vetoed Mauritania
early this year and thus set UP
the package deal linking its
membership with Mongolia's.

Fired Carrier
Charges Told
By Post Office
BY the Associated Press

A three-man postal board has
reviewed charges that brought
dismissal of w. w. Law, head
of the Georgia NAACP. from
his job as a letter carrier in
Savannah.
After the closed hearing, the
Post Office Department re-
leased the charges. They in
cluded an accusation that he
had admitted urination on the
lawn of a home on his route.
Mr.. Law said he was suffering
from a kidney condition, the
Post office said.
Other charges were that Mr..
Law mishandled forms used to
guarantee forwarding of mail,
had inflated the count of the
mail volume he carried, had left
his route regularly for lengthy
periods to visit an office build
ing and took too long to COM
plete mail deliveries.
Political Reasons Charged
After the charges were
released. Clarence Mitchell,
Washington head of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
said:
The Post Office is being
grossly unfair in revealing the
charges. 1t had said again and
again it would not do so. 1t
seems to me they are trying to
divert attention from the issue. F."
In the past, Mr.. Mitchell has
said Mr.. Law was fired because
of his activities for civil rights.
Mr.. Mitchell said last night that
the top echelon of the Post Of
flee Department has Joined in
trying to crush Mr.. Law, mot
just segregationists."
Mr.. Mitchell had testified at
the closed hearing. He told re-
porters he had contended Mr..
Laws job was taken for politi-
cal reasons and charged that
the issue represented an attack
on the entire Civil Service sys-
tenn.
j. F. Kelleher, assistant to
the Postmaster General, replied
quickly with a lengthy state
ment saying the department
was reluctantly" revealing the
charges against Mr.. Law "as a
result Of persistent and re-
peated distortions of the facts
made in statements outside the
department. :"
Two Negroes on Board
The department previously
had refused to release the
charges.
The three-man board refused
to discuss the case with report
ers afterward.
Presiding over the hearing
was Henry w. MCGEE, regional
personnel manager for the Chi
cago region. He said the pan
els recommendations will be
submitted to the Atlanta re-
gional director for a decision.
If Mr.. Law is dissatisfied with
the decision. he can appeal to
Postmaster General Day.
Two of the three board mem
bers were Negroes-Mr. MCGEE
and John w. White, a Post Of
flee clerk from Baltimore who
had been selected by Mr.. Law.
The third board member was

controller for the Atlantic Post
Office region.

comes up in the Security Coun-
Gil Monda ay-regardless of
whether the Nationalists use
their veto against Communist
Outer Mongolia.
+ This could touch off chain
reaction that might backfirc
against the Communists when
debate on seating Red China
starts in the General Assembly
later this fall. On the other
hand, the Russians hope their
stone-walling tactics will work
against the West by forcing out
Nationalist China.
Africans Confer
The key to this is the posi-
ton of the Brazzaville group
of IL French-speaking African
nations backing Mauritania,
another former French colony.
Members of the group first
had indicated they would vote
in the Assembly to seat Peiping
if the Nationalist veto Mon
golia.
They reason that if they
get rid of the Nationalists, it
would clear the way for Outer
Mongolia and thus lift the So
Wet veto threat against Maui
ritania. AS things stand now,
the BraZzaville groups votes on
Red China seem to hold the
balance of power in the 100
nation Assembly.
But representatives of the
BraZzaville group may see
things differently if they be-
lieve the reports that Moscow
will veto Mauritania just to
curry favor with Morocco. The
IL African representatives went
into a huddle last night to
reconsider their position in
view of the reported Russian
commitment to Morocco, which
