a grand jury investigating the

The spokesman said the i'm

An encouraging word to who may be slightly
family unhappy about the wide variety market TODAY

If all the baby brothers, junior editions, and
in-between sizes of cars you've known and
liked for years have you slightly confused
and family unhappy, we hope you'll take a
long, hard look at the cars from Chrysler
Corporation.
Although our 1862 models are probably the
most truly modern cars on the road, they are
designed and engineered with the old-fashioned
notion that Chrysler is a Chrysler, a Dodge
is Dodge, and Plymouth is Plymouth.
You'll know where you're at with 1862
car from Chrysler Corporation, and we think
you'll find it good place to be.
To begin with, there are some things our
cars do have in common.
There's no fat or dead weight. Each car has
a trim, racy look. They're nimble in traffic,
far easier to handle and park. And they do
what lot of automotive engineers thought
was impossible. They give you lot more
action on a lot less gas. Acceleration is up as
much as 10%; gas mileage, which was already
outstanding, is up as much as 795.
These are the cars that we have to offer:

Political Trop

To help get out Of this political
trap, Mr.. Bourguiba demanded
that President de Gaulle make
statement affirming Frances in
tentions to evacuate Bizerte. But
the French leader gave him no
satisfaction: in fact, told him that
France would make no such state
ment under the threat of an
ultimatum.
Gen. de Gaulle's reply probably
was the final straw that led Mr..
Bourguiba to try to blockade the
Bizerte base. But there were other
factors. The Algerians, whom he
had supported in their liberation
fight, had claimed all the Sahara
in their peace talks with the
French, disregarding Tunisia's
claims. Thus, the Tunisian Presi-
dent felt that unless he acted now
and sent troops to Marker 233"
in the desert to claim what he
wanted, France might give the
area to the Algerians if a settle
ment is reached in the peace talks
which resumed again last week
in the small French town of
Lugrin.
Mr.. Bourguiba's maneuvers in
blockading Bizerte's access roads,
and in sending troops into the
desert, caught France momentar-
lily off guard. But it was not long
before overwhelming French mill
tary superiority broke the block

No Surprise

A Catholic, Mr.. Delaney pre-
yiously had said he would not vote
on the Presidents public school
bill until the private school bill
also was in hand.
There was little chance that the
Rules Committee would approve
the private school bill, and Mr..
Delaney last week supported mo-
ton to table them all, explaining
later that he felt the public school
bill constituted discrimination"
against parochial schools.
Though the committee vote was
a near-fatal blow, some admins
tration leaders have not given up
hope. And encouraged by q new
plea from Mr.. Kennedy they may
try to bypass the Rules Commit
tee.
The President said at his news
conference Wednesday that. he
considered the public school bill
probably the most important
piece of domestic legislation" He
urged that measures be taken to
bring it to floor vote.
One way would be to petition
the bill out Of committee, but that
would take signatures of 219 mem

obtain.

British Cautious

Leaders in Bonn and Paris have
tended to react with firmness to
the Soviet note. They have
stressed the Vests rights in
Berlin. and its determination to
protect them at all costs.
The British reaction, expressed
by Lord Home last week, generally
has been for quiet. serious, pa
tient" diplomacy, "free from the
threat of force or the use Of force"
to find a peaceful solution Of the
Berlin problem.
American leaders have spoken
alternately of partial mobilization
and of the need to negotiate. This
middle -of-the-road attitude has
led some British observers to
criticize the United States for hav-
ing mo policy at ALL"
The result of these differences
was a long delay in sending q
reply to Mr.. Khrushchev. Mr..
Kennedy agreed at his press con-
ference that I'VE are going to
have to improve our consultation
so that we can come to decisions
more quickly"
The American reply-issued
Monday-was firm but not bellig-
erent. It stated the American po-
Sition calmly, but emphasized the
strong legal position Of the West
in Berlin. The door to negotiation
was left wide open-although the
Russians were told the West would
not accede to their demands.

sink to such a depth that chances
of a provost North African ted-
Grafton under his leadership may
be lost forever.
The United States recently has
gone out Of its way to improve
relations with France, and has
looked to the Tunisian leader as
its chief ally in North Africa
Thus, the fight put Washington in
a very delicate position. ~
Not wanting to take sides, the
United States strongly supported
the Security Council resolution
calling for a cease fire. It also
has urged both sides to conduct
bilateral negotiations to reach q
settlement.
Such talks offer the best hope
for agreement, since further
United Nations action seems
unlikely. Any Arab-backed reso-
luton to force the French out will
meet with a French veto. and
anything less than this may be
vetoed by the Soviet Union.

School Aid:
Mortal Blow?

President Kennedy made a
new plea for his school aid bill
after 1t was Shelved last week
by the House Rules Committee.
A Senate committee boosted the,
Presidents foreign aid program.
Embroiled for weeks In political
and religious controversy, many
House members have been ready
for some time to chuck aid to
education.
For legislators who do not relish
voting on the controversial leg
islation, the House Rules Commit
tee last week provided an out.
BY an S-to-7 vote, the Rules
Committee on Tuesday tabled the
Presidents $2.5 billion bill for aid
to public schools for construction
and teachers salaries. To the shelf
with it were sent two other educa-
ton measures, one of which would
have provided $375 million for
construction loans to private and
parochial schools.
Providing the margin Of defeat
was Representative Delaney,
Democrat of New York, who
usually votes with the administra-
ton.

Chance of Let Down

While the administration GER
tainly believes the decisions sig
nificant. unless they are a little
dramatic many Americans may
feel that the mountain labored
and produced only a mouse.
One decision that seems cer-
tain is request for more defense
money. The additional amount
to be asked by the President has
been estimated at So to IS billion.
Mr.. Kennedy said Wednesday
at his press conference that the
United States and its allies must
be prepared ITO move not only
through the present difficulties
(the Berlin crisis) but we
have to look forward to many
challenges in the coming months
and years."
A military buildup is aimed not
only at strengthening the Ma
tion's military position, but to
impress the Soviet Union and our
allies that we mean business,
and to impress the American peo-
pie with the seriousness of the
situation,
Evening star., 1961-07-23
Notes Challenge

If the formal note was calm,
President Kennedy's press con-
ference comments were more fore
boding. He made it clear the
United States was considering
military steps to counter any
eventuality, and that they were
predicated not only on Berlin. but
on the whole global situation.
1--WE have commitments in
Southeast Asia and we have COM
mitments in Berlin and We are
being very vigorously challenged.
he said.
In the American note, these
points were underlined.
o Agreement with the Soviet
Union that a German peace treaty
is "long overdue"
. Willingness to negotiate a
treaty, but one covering all of
Germany and based on the freely
expressed will" Of all the German
people.
. A Soviet unilateral treaty with
East Germany not only would be
Unacceptable" but would be "a
serious menace" to world peace.
. Rejection of the Soviet view
that unilateral peace treaty
with East Germany would end the
Vests rights in Berlin.
At his press conference, Presi-
dent Kennedy amplified his views
to emphasize the following:
/. The United States is not un-
happy with the status quo. There
is peace in Europe now, and West
Berlin is free city in the real
sense Of the word free"

to negotiate a peace treaty only

Bizerte:
Cease Fire

The Security Council began
debating the Bizerte issue, seek
ing an end to the fighting that
erupted last week between
France and Tunisia. Its first
action was to call for an i'm
mediate cease fire, acceded to
by both countries almost immed-
lately.
When France seized Tunisia in
1881 and made it a protectorate,
the port Of Bizerte, once the pride
Of ancient Rome, was in utter de-
cay. Its channel was choked up,
and except for the fishing boats
plying its waters, the port was vir-
tually deserted of ships.
Since Bizerte-midway between
Gibraltar and Suez - commanded
a strategic position in the Mediter-
ranean, France quickly set about
to rebuild the ancient harbor,
whose anchorage pool is two and
a half times as large as that of
Pearl Harbor.
The sprawling base was equip
ped with the most modern facili-
ties, and in due course, an airfield
was built nearby. Only Toulon,

Kennedy Signs

President Kennedy hailed the
flight while signing congressional
authorization for the entire $1.8
billion he asked for the fiscal
year to boost the Nations effort
to reach the moon during this
decade.
Capt. Grissom's flight, like that
of Comdr. Shepard's. was a sub
orbital flight. The astronaut who
is to be shot into orbit around
the earth will get his thrust from
an Atlas missile which still must
prove itself as a safe vehicle for
manned flight.
Next on the schedule is either
another suborbital flights similar
to the first two, or an Atlas shot
carrying an empty capsule. Later.
a chimpanzee will make the trip
around the world and return.
After that, in the latter part of
this year or early next year, it is
hoped. the United States will be
ready to hurl a man into orbit
and return him safely.
Evening star., 1961-07-23

President Kennedy said he
would report Tuesday on rec
concentrations to bolster the
Nations military preparedness.
Cranking UP a nation to meet
a world crisis is a little bit like
cranking up Model T. First you
have to get the thing headed in
the right direction. Then you have
to decide how much spark to give
it. Finally, you have to be careful
not to wear yourself out cranking
or get an arm broken or be run
over when it catches fire.
President Kennedy, with the
help of his advisers, apparently
has decided where the Nation is
going in preparing to meet the
Berlin and other crises and how
fast and how long to crank. On
Tuesday he will tell the people.
The time lapse between the de-
cision and the announcement has
resulted in all sorts of speculation
and many people have been led to
expect something bold and dra-
matte. This could be unfortunate.

Kennedy Problem:
To Avoid Letdown

Grissom was in the capsule this
time as RedStone rocket carried
it 11S miles above the earth on
Friday, and to q maximum speed
Of $3.50 miles an hour.
With a little less trepidation
than last May 5 and Navy Comdr.
Alan B. Shepard'S historic flight,
millions Of Americans watched the
thrilling shot which, though sue
cesSful, was not quite perfect.
The loss Of the capsule and the
necessity for Capt. GrisSom to swim
from the sinking vehicle showed
that bugs remain to be elimi-
mated in ascending the ladder to
the moon.

Delicate Balance

A hard line must be accom-
panied by action, but the danger
of being overly impressive - at
home and abroad-was recognized
in the discussions of how to crank
things up.
There has been speculation that
the President would declare a
national emergency and call up
to a million National Guardsmen
and reserves into sctive service.
The best guess at the end of the
week was that it would be much
less dramatic.
Among the possible moves dis
cuSsed:
. An increase in the authorized
strength Of the Army. Ironically,
with all the talk of increased man
power, it was disclosed that the
Army has let its forces fall about
$4,000 below the authorize d
$4,000.
Q A step up in future draft calls
from the present level Of about
5000 a month.
Q Extension Of the normal two
week training period for reserves
and National Guard.
. A shift Of some additional
American troops to Europe.
. Spending boosts for a wide
assortment of ornaments, eSpe-
cially those used in conventional
warfare.
There also was pressure in Con-
gress, bolStered by requests from
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
Curtis E. LeMay, to increase
spending for big bombers.
Prospects Of a tax cut in 1862
apparently became but a wishful
thought last week. There were
reports, in fact, that Treasury
Secretary Dillon has recommended
a tax increase to offset some of
the extra defense spending.

France on Spot

The French victory, however,
may jeopardize Frances position
throughout Africa. Gen. de Gaulle
has worked to create an image
OF France as a progressive de-
colonizer, but the Bizerte episode
cannot help but disillusion At
ricans, and give Communists val
liable propaganda ammunition at
the same time.
The Algerian peace talks may
also be wrecked if the rebels de-
eide to join the fight on the side
Of the Tunisians. One thing in
Frances favor is that the fighting
may be over before the Algerians
decide to help the Tunisians.
The defeat = accentuated by
more than 200 dead Tunisians-

tonomy in the area, but Austria
claims this was violated when
Bolzano was merged into the
heavily Italian province of Trento
in 1948.
After years of angry words, and
occasional acts of violence, Aus
tria asked the U. N. last October
to consider the problem. The
U. N, however, told the two coun-
tries to continue bilateral dis
cusSions, and to offer the case to

tice if no agreement could be
reached.
Continued violence in recent
months has disrupted Austro-
Italian talks, just as real progress,
principally due to new Italian
concessions, was being made.
Since then world attention has
been focused on the area.
The latest U. N. move is appar-
emily another attempt by the
Austrians, who are divided domes-
tically by the Alto Adige problem.
to gain support for its attacks on
Italy.
The Italians, who are backed by
most Of the West, need have little
to fear in the U. N. They can
point to the fact that they have
constantly offered to go to the
International Court of Justice, as
the U. N. suggested, while the
Austrians have just as regularly
refused.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Berlin: A Promise Of Action

The United States answered
the Soviet Unions aide-memOire
on German peace treaty last
week. The reply firmly restated
the Vests rights and ObIiga-
tiOns in West Berlin, but held
open the door to future nego-
tiations.
On the afternoon of June 4 in
Vienna, Premier Khrushchev
handed President Kennedy the
now-celebrated aide-memoire that
set forth the latest Soviet proposal
for a German peace treaty.
The notes main points were
similar to those voiced in Novem-
Der, 1858, when Mr.. Khrushchev
first called for an end to the
status quo-a peace treaty that
would formalize the existence of
two Germanies, seal East Ger
many's border with Poland, and
establish West Berlin as q "free
city"
If the West co-operates with the
Soviet Union IN signing such a
treaty, Mr.. Khrushchev- said in
his latest proposal, "the Soviet
Union proposes that the most re-
liable guarantees should be estab-
lished against intervention in the
affairs of the free city by any
state"
If. however, the West refuses to
sign such q treaty, the Soviet
Union is prepared to sign q uni
lateral treaty with East Germany
by the end Of the year.
