ROME, Italy. AS a prelim-
mary to a major cold war
offensive, the Soviet Union
is Softening up at least
three of the more important
NATO members = Turkey,
France and Italy.
The process takes the form
of severe internal troubles
and is in keeping with the
decisions in the statement
by 81 Communist Parties
in Moscow last December.
This is the considered opin-
ion of competent European
observers who are watching
the la test antics of the
Communist conspiracy.
The Statement" set forth
that the system of military
blocs supported by the United
States must be weakened"
by the struggle of the peo-
pie" within these blocS. These
blocs are the NATO, SEATO
and CENTO.
The Communist action in
Laos and our weak policy in
that area has weakened the
SEATO more than is public
ly admitted. The CENTO is
being reduced to a mere
name by the continually
difficult situation in Turkey
and by the impending i'm
portant developments" in
Iran. Now the efforts of in
ternational com munism,
clothed in nationalism, are
being felt by France, and in
the last few weeks, by Italy.
The conference at Evian
between the French govern
ment and representatives of
the FIN Moscow backed
Arab nationalists has broken
down. The French at
tempted in vain to move the
conference into a more real
istic atmosphere from which
the Arab nationalists would
have gained most of their
detectives if they were peace
minded. But they remained
adament, using the Krem-
lin strategy at conference
tables. When it appeared that
some understanding might
be reached, the FIN leaders
raised new points which
were not on the original
agenda.
One of the new points was
the control of the oil rich
Sahara which is no more a
part of Algeria than Mexico
is part Of the United States.
This led to an indefinite
postponement of the Evian
negotiations - the diploma
tic camouflage for failure.

Soviet Seeks to Weaken NATO

Nationalist Party, which has
representatives in the Ital-
ian parliament, began agi-
tating for immediate solu-
ton Of the problem. The pam
German nationalists, q small
group with headquarters in
Munich and Innsbruk, pro-
vided the Italian Tyrolean
leaders with money. Their
objective can be summed up
as "a state within a state"
There was, until recently,
more talk than action, how
ever.
The world paid little heed
to these manifestations in one
of Italy'S most prosperous
provinces. But as soon as the
Kremlin realized that Italy,
too, would remain adamant
on the Berlin question things
changed draStically in the
Alto Adige. A wave of ter
rorisrn, as taught in the Lenin
school in Baku, spread
throughout the Tyrol. The
nationalist leaders found on
their hands unprecedented
violence committed against
important Tyrolean industrial
establishments, communica-
tionS, and dams which help
supply essential electric cur
rent. In less than a week the
damage exceeded 50 million
inflicted by unknown fight
erS for Tyrol'S freedom" And
for the first time in this dis
pute men were killed.
The purpose of all this is,
of course, to create a gener-
al confusion which not only
may spread to other parts of
Italy but would draw world
attention such as was done
with the pirating Of the Por-
tuguese liner Santa Maria
before the Angola question
was stirred up. Another aim
of the Kremlin is to force
the Italian government to
adopt stringent security
measures-always an excuse
to cry "dictator!"
When this reporter visited
the Alto Adige last year one
of the nationalist leaders re-
marked: why is it that the
CongoleSe and other black
Africans can have their free
dom while we, a highly civil
lied people cannot?" 1t was
obvious that the propagan-
diSts had been doing a good
job in the area.
While Washington policy
makers are pondering the an
swers to the big world ques-
tions, the Kremlin is acting.
Internal trouble of the strong
free countries could easily
bring the military fortresses
against Communist aggres-
sion tumbling down.

IA million bushels OF corn.
The corn-from low grade
surplus Stocks-will be used by
Publicker as a substitute for
the molaSses in the production
of industrial alcohol and liquor.
The company said it had de-
pended on the molasses to keep
some of it's operations in pro-
duction.
For the period OF the con-
tract Publicker Is required to
suspend all imports Of molaSses
from Cuba" the Agriculture
Department said in a state
ment.
The White House pressed
Publicker to accept the agree
ment by announcing the mo-
lasses imports are mot in the
public interest" because they
provide dollars for Mr.. Castro's
dictatorship.
The announcement made
clear that President Kennedy
was displeased by the unload
ing Tuesday of more than 2
millions gallons of Cuban mo-
laSSes at Publicker docks in the
port of New Orleans.
Publicker con:ended its New
Orleans plant, which employs
700, would be forced to shut
down unless it received raw
materials for producing al
cohol.
Since the United States halt
ed purchases of Cuban sugar
last year, trade between the
two countries has been limited,
totaling about $40 million.
White House News Secretary
Pierre Salinger said on We'd
nesday that the 100000 worth
OF molaSses unloaded Tuesday
represented only a small part
of the order placed with Cuba.
He said the total order
amounted to 100 million gal
Ions, valued at $12 million.
Mr.. Kennedy first expressed
opposition to the Publicker-
Cuba deal last February.
When it was announced that
the deal had gone through and
the shipment had arrived,
Louisiana Senators and Rep
resentatives protested sharply
to Mr.. Kennedy, who assigned
an aide to check into the situa-
ton. The aide, White House
Deputy Counsel Myer Feldman,
worked out the agreement be-
tween Publicker and the Agri-
culture Department.
Under the contract, Publicker
will pay 64 cents a bushel for
the surplus corn-which Mr..
Feldman said is of poor quail
ity that has deteriorated in
Government storage. The corn
will be taken from stocks in
which the Governments invest
ment is figured at $1.66 a
buShel.
The contract stipulates that

Education Bill PeriIed
By GI College Rider

and to improve training of Ii
brarians.
8. Make colleges and univer-
sites eligible for grants and
loans to get equipment and ma
terials needed to teach the sub
jects specified in the bill. Only
grade and high schools were in
cluded in the original law.
4. Increase from / 500 to 5000
the number Of annual fellow
ships for graduate students in
tending to become teachers.
The CT education benefits in
serted into the bill yesterday
would give veterans who have
served since January 81, 1855,
similar college and vocations
education payments to those
received by World War II and
Korean War servicemen.
Keyed to Draft
The program would run until
four years after the expiration
of the draft law, presently set
for 1868.
1t would mean outlays of
about 1920 million the first
year in addition to the $500
million for the broadened De-
fense Education Act. That law.
first passed in 1858, has re-
suited in spending of about
1925 million a year.
The bill is not expected to
reach the Senate floor until
after July 4. The full Labor
Committee is to take 1t up
Tuesday. Subcommittee Chair
man Morse, Democrat of Ore
gon, said he expected quick
committee approval.
The veterans education pro-
gram was proposed by Senator
Marlborough, Dem ocrat of
Texas. A similar program was
approved, 57-31, by the Sen
ate in 1859 but cold-shouldered
by the House.
It was opposed by the Eli
senhower administration and
that opposition has been con-
tinued by the Defense Depart
ment and the Budget Bureau
under President Kennedy even
though Mr.. Kennedy as a Sen
ator voted for the plan in 1859.
Despite Kennedy administra-
tion opposition to the Yay-
borough propos al, Senator
Morse said it was indorSed in
the 1860 Democratic platform.

A Senate subcommittee ha,
hitched a 50 billion CT college
program to the defense educa-
ton bill-thus adding another
knot to the tangled Federal
aid-to-education situation.
In a surprise, last-minute ac-
ton yesterday, the Senate Edu-
cation Subcommittee approved
a plan to provide college edu-
cation for servicemen dis
charged since January 81, 1855
now numbering about 1885,
900.
First reaction from the House
was that if the Senate insists
on including the veterans COL
lege education provision, the
defense education bill would be
in grave danger. And the ad-
ministration has been strongly
opposed to the CT program.
The Senate subcommittee
also added other things Mr.
Kennedy did not ask for in
broadening the act into a $500
million annual program.
Church School Rider
One of these is a key feature
of the bill-a $125-million-a.
year loan program for three
years to build claSsrooms ir
parochial and other private
schools. These would be used
for instruction in science
mathematics, foreign Languages
and physical fitness.
Democratic congressiona
leaders have made it plair
they hope this amendment
will improve chances of the
general public school aid bill
passed by the Senate last
month but stalled in the House
They think the loan provision
should ease disappointment oi
Catholics at being excluded
from the general measure.
Principal Changes
The principal changes made
by the bill in the Defense Edu-
cation Act would:
/. Add physical fitness ano
English as subjects for which
help would be given to i'm
prove instruction.
2. Include a new program o1
grants and loans to buy equip

U. 5. Studying
Seat in u. n.
For Red China
BY the Associated Press

The State Department says
United States policy on United
Nations membership for Com
munist China "is under study
and a number Of possibilities
are being considered"
Department Press Officer
Lincoln White stressed yester-
day, though, that no decision
has been made.
Diplomatic sources, however,
said United States strategy is
based on the assumption Com
munist China would refuse a
U. N. seat as long as Nationalist
China is still a member.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
discussed the problem with ia
pans Foreign Minister, zentaro
KoSaka, the sources reported,
and held the view that a ma
jority of the SO members of the
United Nations would not vote
to deprive Nationalist China Of
its seat.
New Approach" Reported
The Chicago Sun-Times re-
ported yesterday that the
United States was considering
a new approach to the China
U. N. problem. The approach,
unveiled by Mr.. Rusk in talks
with Mr.. Kosaka, the news
paper said, is designed to
Jockey Peiping into refusing to,
accept a seat in the United
Nations.
Asked about the story, Mr..
White said he was not in posi-
ton to discuss conversations
between Mr.. Rusk and Mr.. .,
Kosaka. He added:
However, with regard to our
view on the question of the
seating Of Communist China in
with U. NJ, I would remind you
that our position has been set
forth repeatedly. In essence
it is this:
"The United States supports
the Republic of China (For-
mosa) in the U. N. and is op-
posed to the seating of Com
munist China.
"No determination has been
made as yet with regard to the
parliamentary problems in
volved in the next General As
Sembly."
Pressure Increasing
Pressure has been increasing
in the United Nations to give
Communist China membership.
The Sun-TimeS said q mem
ber Of the Japanese mission
described the new proposal as
the successor-state theory. Un-
der it, Nationalist China would
continue as a member of the
11-nation Security Council and
the General Assembly with Red
China as merely a member of
the Assembly.
"The Kennedy administra-
ton is aware" the Sun Times
reported, "that its proposal
would be certain to meet with
a prompt, angry Chinese Com
munist no." This would have
the effect Of making Red
China keep itself out Of the
United Nations.
