driven into the Soviet camp.
1t is, therefore, a long and
agonizing struggle. 1t is not
comfortable for the United
States to observe an avoWed
Communist heading the Gu
ban government only 80
miles away and full-fledged
Communist apparatus ready
to take over the whole coun-
try. The Organization OF
American States is supposed
to have accepted the prin-
ciple of the Monroe Doctrine
that no European power
should be permitted to es-
tablish a new foothold in
this hemisphere. But the
same OAS is hesitant to act
because many Of the men,
ber governments fear re-
prisals inspired by the Com
munists within their own
borders.
The United States could
become involved in every
country in Latin America
If it sought to fight the Com
munists openly, but the pol
icy of the Washington Gov
ernmen today, as in the
past, emphasizes patience
and restraint, rather than
impulsive action, in the hope
that in due time a united
front of all n-American
governments will gradually
but steadily weaken and
eventually eliminate the
Communist influence.
Meanwhile, inside the
United States, the fight
against the Communist Party
is proceeding on legalistic
grounds. and there has been
much public impatience with
the Supreme Court for its
failure to deal realistically
with what the late Judge
Learned Hand once described
as "a clear and present dan
ger" The high court has
taken the position that mem
bers of the Communist Party
in this country are just an
other minority group and
that they necessarily must
be protected by the very Con-
stitution they are plotting to
destroy. This paradox has
led to an array of conflicting
court decisions. The hope,
nevertheless, still prevails that
some day soon rulings by the
high court will give the FBI
the assistance it so much
needs to ferret out the Com
munist apparatus within the
United States.

Kennedy Steps Up Efforts to Change
Personnel of Regulatory Agencies

Commission Chairman New
ton Minow, illustrates the
problem.
The broadcasters-and the
advertising agencies. in par
ticular - complained when
Minow called their program
ming a wasteland, but there
were loud cheers from the
public. Pare especially
backed Minow, and the audi
ence for his views has multi
piled rapidly.
This was fine for MinoW,
but he is still sometimes out
voted heavily when he seeks
tighter control over the
broadcasters.
1t is not really very sur
prising, as Minow, a former
law partner of Adlai Steven
son. is the only Kennedy
choice on the seven-man
commission. Most Of the
other six are entrenched in
positions long held. They in
clude Robert E. Lee. a close
friend of the late Senator
Joseph Mccarthy, who began
his term with the comment
that he didn't believe in Fed
eral regulation.
1t is fair to add that for
mer President Eisenhower
who appointed Lee, believed
in it only very tepidly. Dur

not disturbing that the per-
sons writing such baseless
slander should have done so.
It is expected of their kind.
But they receive great en-
couragement from those men
and women of wealth and
position who seem also to be
accusing the President OF the
United States and those who
support his policies as
mounting communism.
Do they really mean that
John F. Kennedy would IN
any sense, at any time, mouth
a Communist line?
There is no country so
strongly committed against
communism as this one.
Thanks to the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation and
other law enforcement agen-
cies, no country has done so
good a job Of exposing and
knowing the Communists
within its borders. One OF
the reasons this is true Is the
many citizens such as Presi-
dent Kennedy.
There are many anti Com
munist organizations. Each,
we may assume. is sincere.
Their sum Of danger to the
community lies in the fact
that each is convinced that
it, somehow, somewhere, has
special knowledge of COM
munism and that unless
everyone else agrees with its
findings and it's conclusions
that persons Americanism is
suspect.

in a speech in Washington in
1851:

DORIS FLEESON

President Kennedy has or
dered a stepped-up effort to
increase New Frontier major
tiles on the Federal regulatory
agencies, that fourth branch
of Government which usually
gets headlines only when its
members get into trouble.
The branch has been bend
ing to a degree as old men,
bers step out and are replaced
by men with a fresh approach.
But the Kennedy stamp is as
yet too dim to satisfy the
President, chiefly becau use
most of the commissioners
we're appointed by his prede-
ceSSors.
The White House wants to
improve matters with respect
to policy as we'll as personnel.
It's gestures have led some
sgencies-the Interstate Com
merce Commission for one
to make changes in procedure
on their own, hoping to mol
lily critics.
Kennedy appointees, who
by now include most Of the
agency chairmen, also have
had assurances that future
appointments will be care
fully chosen to afford them
maximum assurance of sup
port. The case of the best
advertised New Frontiersman.

which have so much power
over what the consumer eats,
buys, sees or uses in interstate
traffic. He had in hand a tart
report from an old and
trusted friend, James M. Lam
dis, former Harvard Law
School dean and one-time
chairman Of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Civil Aeronautics Board and
Federal Trade Commission.
Without undue effort, the
interests affected persuaded
Congress to scuttle the Lam
dis recommendations. So the
slower way of reorganization
through the presidential
power of appointment is
going on.
An unfortunate aspect Of
the absorbing cold war is
that these agencies get too
little public ventilation and
that their members have
little snob appeal. Thus the
affected industries get more
chances to cultivate the key
figures than in the old days,
when they were thought to be
the kingpins Of the bright
new day.

ened by his bombasts and
missile ratings to the point
of near terror. He thinks that
II he continues to negotiate
under terroristic tactics all
Washington would want is
some face-saving agreements
to give the American people
a feeling that they have sur
rendered nothing.
Unlike Hitler, who chal-
lenged the Western democ-
racies only in Europe, the
whole world is KhruShchev's
playground. And wherever he
challengeS-in Europe, Asia,
Latin America or in Africa
he believes that he can win
his battles peacefully, as he
did in Cuba and Laos, by per-
mitting retreat with honor"
Britain, another important
member of the Free West,
more because of the prestige
she continues to enjoy rather
than her power, also is anX-
ious to come to an agreement
with the Kremlin. There is
serious and honest belief in
the minds of most Contlnen-
tai European leaders that If
there ever is a showdown, if
Khrushchev ever commits
Hitler's folly. Britain will sit
it out.
But all this is speculation,
say the Germans. for there
will be no showdown in the
military sense. Why should
Khrushchev risk the uncer-
tainty of another war-even
conventional war - W he n
things are going so we'll for
him?
And why should he pro-
woke a war when he knows
that Europe-possibly disil-
lusioned by the short-sighted
Anglo-Saxon policies-might
help build up the badly need
ed economic capabilities Of
the Soviet Union?

But Germans Still Believe Khrushchev
Will Rely on Peaceful ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The men in the Kremlin
have thoroughly studied the
history of the German Re
public under Hitler. They
realize that had Hitler not
gone haywire and attacked
Poland, he could have had
all Europe in the palm Of
his hand without ever fir
ing a shot.
England had become
friendly to Hitler and was
even thinking of offering as
a peace prize some of the
colonies Germany lost after
World War l France. in
the throes of unrest, was pre-
pared to sign a long-term
non-aggression treaty-in
fact an alliance. The Balkans,
once satellites of France, were
rushing to Berlin to make
their peace and offer their
fealty to Hitler.
Germany herself was pros
porous and at the point of
becoming again one of the
worlds foremost economic
powers. Hitler had only to
wait and he could have dom
mated Europe. But he was
a maniac and believed in the
slogan of Napoleon's Foreign
Minister Talleyrand that
you can do anything with
bayonets except sit on them. "
The megalomaniac decided
to dominate Europe-which
in fact was his-by rushing
headlong into a stupid war.
KhruShchev is not Hitler
He is shrewd and realistic.
And because he is realistic
he will not start another wal
when things are going his
way. He sees the United
States Government. repre-

This column finally will
quote the late Judge Learned
Hand, who was revered and
respected by conservative and
liberal opinion in this coun-
try as perhaps our greatest
juriSt.
For this Nation zone OF
severaD committed to a long.
demanding contest with COM
munism, there is need for
understanding Of the enemy.
Since the Communist COM
petition has been and will
continue to be frustrating.
confused and expensive in
respect to taxes, there will be
many who will want to go to
war and who will become so
unreasonably impatient they
will begin to do their coun-
try serious damage.
Some of these persons are
educated and experienced.
They should be able to un-
derstand that because of the
totalitarian directness of
communism, it can move
quickly in many directions.
Such persons should be able
to understand that frustra-
ton and long periods of what
seems. to the impatient. loss
Of time and prestige are a
part Of the price we must pay
unless, of course, they want
a nuclear war as an answer
They oppose any and all

1T is there, I think, that
you and I may be able to

will you not agree that any
society which begins to be
doubtful of itself. in which
one man looks at another

truth cannot emerge unless
it is subjected to the utmost

that a society which has lost

We must be a people strong
in unity, faith and purpose to
defeat communism. Those
who, no matter what their

BONN-Despite the un-
easiness which can be observ-
ed in German political and
diplomatic circles, the Ger
man people appear unmoved
and unexcited. Through re-
ports of refugees who con-
tinue to trickle through the
barbed wire and cement cur
tain, they know that a mas
sive concentration of Soviet
Warsaw forces is on the bor-
der between East and West
Germany.
A Bundestag representative
told this reporter that the
oviet-WarSaw Pact forces
have now, on paper, the ca
pability of reaching Bremen
in six hours, Hamburg in one
day and Frankfurt in four
days. This. of course, If the
NATO decides on a tactical
withdrawal to the Rhine and
also If the Western air forces
are not called tactically into
play for fear Of unleashing
an atomic war.
I asked this representative,
who belongs to a number of
important committees and
keeps closely in touch with
public opinion. why, under
these circumstances, the Ger
man people continue to work
harder than any in the free
world, with new factories and
new businesses Springing up
almost daily. Lights burn in
industrial establishments and
smoke comes from factory
stacks early in the morning
and late at night. How Is it,
wanted to know, that when
Germans know they are liv-
ing on the brink they con-
tinue this extraordinary ef-
fort?
His answer was that while
some members of the govern
ment consider an onruSh
from the Red East possible
the rank and file of business
men as we'll as citizens are
convinced that Russia will
not resort to war in Europe
to achieve its objectives.

DAVID LAWRENCE
. President Kennedy is to be

President Kennedy Is to be
commended for his courage
and devotion to the national
interest in braving the
dangers of a trip to Vene-
zuela and Colombia. He has
followed in the footsteps OF
both President Eisenhower
and Vice President Nixon.
who also, by their visits to
South America, took similar
risks in challenging the Com
muniStS.
There may be less salts
faction over the fact that the
Venezuelan and Colombian
governments last week end
had to place tens Of thou
sands of armed troops along
the parade line which Mr..
Kennedy travelled and were
compelled to take intensive
precautions of a security ma
ture. All this emphasizes the
fact that the Communists
could have stirred up riots
and other demonstrations If
such measures Of protection
had not been introduced.
For the simple truth is that
the United States faces in
South America the ruthless
competition of the Commu-
mist apparatus, which has
capitalized on long-standing
grievances and internal dis
satisfaction due to the failure
Of local governments to initi-
ate tax reforms and eco
nomic Improvements that
could lessen poverty and in
crease employment.
But. broadly speaking. the
Presidents trip and the visits
of the heads Of Latin Amer
ican governments to the
White House in recen t
months have been part of a
studied effort by the United
States to win friends in Latin
America. The huge crowds
that greeted Mr.. Kennedy
may be taken as a sign that
the plans are bearing fruit.
Such manifestations Of in
terest in atin-American af-
fairs by this country are ap-
preciated by all classes in
Central and South America
Most important Of all is
the part being played by the
Alliance for Progress,
which promises Latin Amer
ica $40 billion. of which the
United States Government

will furnish nearly a half,
over a period of 10 years,
This should mean also an
encouragement Of the flow
OF private capital from this
country to the nations south
OF us, though impediments
to the latter have appeared
in the form Of obstructive
laws and threats of confisca-
ton of foreign-ow buSi-
neSSeS.
This attack is mastermind-
ed by Communists inside
Latin America. The Commu-
mist leaders are not Russians
or Europeans. They are ma
tive Latin Americans who
have been trained in Mos
COW during the last two dec
AIDES, and they know how to
stir up students in the uni
verSities as we'll as opposi-
ton parties in the political
realm.
The task of the Washing
ton Government in seeking
to win increased prestige and
the cooperation of Latin
American governments Is
naturally related to what is
usually called foreign aid"
This writer has supported
the idea ever since the Mar
shall Plan was launched and,
though there have been in
stances of waste and mis-
directed energies around the
world, the problem is one in
which many a calculated risk
has to be taken and many a
failure encountered. But in
any war. whether it is cold"
or hot" some defeats must
be expected.
The important thing today
is that American money is
helping to achieve broad OBJ
jectives in the cold war.
Some ticklish decisions have
to be made, as in Ghana and
Yugoslavia, which at the mo-
ment will cause some an
guiSh inside the United
States. For it is difficult to
remove altogether the con-
cern felt throughout Ameri-
ca that the two countries
mentioned do play ball with
the Soviets when it is to their
interest.
Unfortunately, on the other
hand. the chances of further
complications are enhanced
if some of the "neutrals" are
