I'd as saying that neither West
Germany nor France will fight
for West Berlin and the United
States shouldn't fight for them.
In a telegram to Gen. Van
Fleet, Mr.. Stevenson said:
You are quoted by the press
as stating that the United
States air cover for the Cuban
invasion was called off at my
insiStence. You have apparently
not famiharized yourself with
public statements 1 issued on
this long ago, denying even
knowledge of the matter.
"The charge you have repeat
ed is totally false. l will be
obliged if you will correct your
statement and if there is any
doubt about this in your mind
i suggest that you check the
facts yourself"
Taken Out of Context"
In Lakeland. Fla, the Ledger
quoted Gen. Van Fleets secre-
tary as saying the generals re-
marks were made at a question
and answer session A most
informal question and answer
period The general says
the article was taken out of
context and is inaccurate.
The secretary, the Ledger
said, quoted Gen. Van Fleet as
saying "the meeting last night
was a small group; I was as
sured if was a closed session."
The Lakeland paper had a
representative at the meeting
but did not publish a story
about his remarks.
The Tampa Tribune disputed
the contention Gen. Van Fleet
spoke out at question and
answer period. 1t said he
started off by saying, II imag-
inc there are others things you
are more interested in E" and
then continued speaking.
A spokesman celebrating on
the Army statement said when
President Kennedy named Gen.
Van Fleet a part-time con-
sultant on Ocober 9 it was with
the understanding he would
serve for 80 days. There is no
special pay for his service aside
from his retirement pay.
The Army said Gen. Van

Florida newspaper to have said
in a speech Monday night that
Mr.. Stevenson snould have been
fired because of his rule in the
Inflated Cuban invasion.
The general also was quoted
by the Tampa Tribune as say
ing that Berlin and Laos are
lost and that there Is only a
$3.50 chance of keeping South
Wet Nam out of Communist
control.
The only official response to
Gen. Van Fleets reported COM
ments waS an Army statement
indicating tnat the general may
say what he wants to as long
as he isn't acting in his role
as consultant to Army Secre-
tary Stair.
~ Citizen Role Noted
When he is not acting in this
role, said the Army, his re-
marks "are made in his capacity
as a private citizen"
But, added an Army state
ment. when Gen. Van Fleet is
acting officially in his role as
consultant. he is subject to the
same regulations and directives
as other military personnel
and civilian employees of the
defense establishment"
The remarks attributed to
Gen. Van Fleet, said the Army,
were made in his role of private
citizen. It added:
ITO date, he has performed
no official duties as special con-
sultant to the Secretary of the
Army"
An Army spokesman said
Gen. Van Fleet had not been
recalled to active duty.
Van Fleet Quoted
The Tampa Tribune reported
yesterday that in his Monday
night speech to a waterways re-
sources conference, Gen. Van
Fleet departed from his pre-
pared text to say that Mr.
Stevenson should have been
fired when he said he would
not support the armed action
by this country against (Fidel)
Castro during the ill-fatec

having seen them in text and
without knowing definitely
whether the general had re-

But Senator Stennis said the
subcommittee is drawing a line
between what is said by a Re-

and an officer on active duty.
The subcommittee's objec-
