Pierre Salinger, White House

The press secretary has been
widely criticized for his attitude.
His prescription for the public, in
the opinion of some observers, has
been sugar coated pills.
When the mild virus infection

made a 180-degree change of

More Stability

On the surface, events in the
Congo seem more stable than at
any time since rioting broke out
last July, week after the coun-

Belgium.
Hostility still exists among the
rival factions, however, and Pres

$500 United Nations troops to
patrol the area and make sure the

Future stability will depend, to

Disarmament:
NucIeor Threat

Premier Khrushchev said the
Soviet Union will resume test
ing nuclear weapons as soon as
the West starts such explosions.
Since 1858, as far as is known
neither the Soviet Union nor the
United States has held any nuclear
tests. During this voluntary
moratorium, both sides have
sought in vain to negotiate a con-
trolled nuclear test ban.
AS result of the breakdown in
the Geneva talks, it seemed only
a question of time last week before
such tests are resumed again.
The administration, under pres
sure from Congress and the Pen
tagon, said the self-imposed ban
would be thoroughly canvassed"
from a security point of view to
see if by not testing the United
States was falling behind mill
tarily.
Premier Khrushchev announced
that mo sooner does the United
States resume testing" than the
Soviet Union will do the same.
This testing, of course, will
increase the fighting power of
our armed forces and enable us
to develop even better atomic and
nuclear bombs" he said.
Both sides hesitated to be the
first to resume testing because of
the psychological effect it would
have on world opinion. Although
such tests would most likely be
underground, and not harmful,
this sublety would be lost in Asia
and Africa.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Growing Menace
Of Maritime Strike

Prospects for settlement Of
the Nationwide maritime strike
dimmed last week after the
unions rejected Labor Secretary
GOldberg's proposal for q 6O-day
voluntary moratorium. Predic-
tiOns that the Government will
seek a Taft Hartley injunction
mounted. after Mr.. Goldberg
conferred yesterday with Presi-
dent Kennedy.
In 1850, the American merchant
marine totaled 1908 deep-sea
ships. Today. according to the
latest Maritime Administration
figures, there are GAL American
flag ships on the active list.
The dwindling number is the
basic factor behind the three
coast shipping strike called 10
days ago by five principal unions.
To find more jobs, the unions
are agreed that they must organ
ize the seamen and officers aboard
the 450 or more vessels owned by
Americans but registered under
foreign flags-mostly Panamanian,
Liberian and Honduran.
The ship owners, for the most
part, oppose any such organizing
effort by the unions because they
fear that the advantages they
now have-lower operating costs
and taxes-would vanish and they
would no longer be competitive in
the world market. They believe
they are no different from Ameri-
can corporations which build
plants in foreign countries.

break down over the Soviet in
sistence on a veto in any control
commission, than Mr.. Khrushchev
suggested the nuclear talks be
merged with the general disarma-
ment conference scheduled for
July 81.
President Kennedy rejected this
proposal last week at the same
time preliminary talks on the dis
armament conference began in
Washington.
These early sessions generally
discuss procedural matters only.
but substantive issues such as
whether nuclear testing should
be included in the talks, and the
makeup of disarmament COM
mission are sure to arise.
Because of the tense world sit
uation, and the inability of the
United States and the Soviet
Union to agree on a nuclear test
ban relatively simple to inspect,
little hope of agreement is seen
on the more complex disarma-
ment issues.

Tariff Demands

So many businesses and unions
have been hurt by Japanese COM
petition, however, that there have
been frequent demands to raise
tariffs and boycott japanese goods.
This Buy American" campaign
quite naturally has been resented
by the japanese.
To ease the pain, and to find
ways of increasing trade, Prime
Minister Ikeda and President Ken
nedy formed a cabinet-level COM
mittee to solve economic problems.
Both sides agreed this was a step
in the right direction.
Other points discussed included:
Asian situation-No agreement
was reached on admitting Red
China to the United Nations.
Japan has not made q decision
yet, the Prime Minister said. The
United States strongly opposes it.
Japan also indicated 1t wants to
increase trade with Red China.
The United States has not traded
with the Red Chinese since the
Korean war.
Disarmament-Both sides agreed
to press for a nuclear test ban
and for general disarmament.
Economic aid-Japan promised
to contribute to the economic de-
velopment Of other countries,
especially IN Asia.

Stumbling Block

And so, while there are eco
nomic iSsues-like the National
Maritime Unions demand for q
30-hour week-and a complicating
inter -union power struggle, the
matter of organizing foreign
registry ships is the big stumbling
block.
Last week, as activity at Amer
ican ports slackened and the ef-
fectS of the strike were being felt
more keenly, Labor Secretary
Goldberg made a new move to
bring at least temporary peace.
But the Kennedy administra-
tion's golden boy" of labor-man-
agement relations apparently had
no golden touch in the maritime
dispute.
He flew to New York in an 11th-
hour effort to head off the strike
II days ago, but his efforts failed.
Then, Thursday night, the Sec
retaty, a labor union lawyer by
profession, proposed that the
unions and owners accept a 60
day back-to-work truce while .
three-man presidential panel stu
died all aspects Of the complex dis
pute, including foreign-regiStry
ships, Government subsidy policy
and economic issues.
Again, Mr.. Goldberg met defeat.
The owners accepted, but the
unions rejected his plan.
With the negotiations appar-
emily frozen, there appeared to
be only one feasible way of get
ting seaborne commerce rolling
again: A Government request of
q Federal court for an 80-day
Taft-H Hartley Act Injunction.

Japan:
Harmony

At the end of Prime Minister
Ikeda's Washington visit last
week, the United States and
Japan said closer ties had been
forged between the two cOun-
tries, especially on economic
matters.
From the nuclear ashes of
World War II, Japan has grown
into a leading industrial power
the Free Worlds brightest hope
in the Far East.
Japan's progress has been so
rapid that it has startled Amer
ican observers, accustomed to
yearly rates of growth under 4
per cent. Japan last year record
ed an IL per cent jump an
amazing pace" in Prime Minis
ter Ikeda's words.
One of the main reasons for
Japan's success has been its abil-
ity to penetrate the rich Amer
ican market. The popularity of
inexpensive Japanese consumer
items cameras, textiles, transis-
tor radios) helped make America
Japan's best customer last year.
The trade picture has been bal
anced by the large amounts of
raw materials bought by Japan
from the United States. Only
Canada buys more here.

At White House

Mr.. Goldberg met briefly with
Mr.. Kennedy at the White House
yesterday morning and discussed
the possibility Of an Injunction.
In order to seek an injunction,
the President must find that the
strike threatens the health or
safety of the Nation. This may
not be difficult. Hawaii's Gov
ernor, William F. Quinn, said on
Friday that the walkout is having
a drastic impact on the health
and welfare of the islands, adding
that some food supplies are virtu-
ally depleted and others are in
short supply.

end and make his recommends

Good News

President Kennedy, his back
still ailing, was bedded with a
1O1.6-degree fever from a mild
strep throat on Thursday. A
rapid recovery, however, had his
temperature back to normal
within hours, his routine within
a day.
On Wednesday Mr.. Kennedy,
discarding his crutches on occa-
sion, had fairly full and good
day.
He felt so well, in fact, that he
journeyed to the Naval Weapons
Plant in the rain and there board
ed the presidential yacht, Honey
Fitz, for a cruise down the Poto-
mac with Japanese Premier Ikeda.
In the evening he took a long
swim in the White House pool.
"He was in very good spirits;
said he thought he had the best
day, his back really was not
bothering him." DR.. Janet Travell,
the White House physician, said.

But a few hours later, after he
had retired, the President tele-
phoned DR.. Travell at her home
in Georgetown and told her that
his throat was sore and that he
had a fever. The doctor dashed
to the White House and found Mr..
Kennedy with fever of 1O1.

Premier Khrushchev threat

unilateral peace treaty with East
Germany by the end Of the year.
Secretary Of State Rusk reaf-
firmed the Vests rights in
Berlin and said MIR. Khru-
shchev's threats can only

AS Berlin's tensions continued
to mount, Premier Khrushchev put
on his old generals uniform and
addressed a meeting in Moscow.
He told the veterans session
what he already had told Presi-
dent Kennedy and the Soviet pub
lie:
If the West doesn't sign separate
peace treaties with West and East
Germanies, and agree to West Ber-
Inns establishment as 'free city"
he will sign unilaterally with East
Germany, transferring control
over access routes to the Germans.
The urgency was underlined
by reptition of the simple phrase,
'by the end Of the year." The
furry over the exact date was
added to the angry tone in which
the speech was delivered and the
theatrical, military uniform which
the Premier wore on the occasion.

pearance Of the week before was

ever, he said this is not some
thing that we like at ALL"
More serious, though is the
grim possibility the East Germans
might try to cut off West Berlin
from the West-if only to end the
constant flow of refugees to the
West.
The East Germans might erect
another Berlin blockade, and this
might lead to war If either side
miscalculated the intentions or
strengths of the other.
Western officials must decide
what to do if roads were closed
but no efforts were made to inter-
fere with air flights. Should the
West fight to force its trucks into
Berlin, or start another airlift?
What if all access routes were
closed, but the East German gov
ernment said it would reopen them
when the West signed a peace
treaty? Should the West agree
to such blackmail, or should it
fight, knowing the Soviet Union
might come to East Germany's
aid?
If the West feels it must fight
for it's rights, should it use atomic
weapons? Without them the West
probably could not hold Berlin,
but using them might touch off
the feared world war.

grim alternatives to a peaceful

Rusk Calm

Secretary Rusk, calm man by
nature, gave the first official
United States reaction. He re-
fused to overdramatize the Berlin
crisis at a press conference. He
said Mr.. Khrushchev's militant
tone" was a keen disappoint-
ment" to those who wanted peace.
He made it clear, however, that
the West knew its rights in Ber-
lin. and ''it is obvious that the
United States could not accept
the validity Of any claim to ex-
tinguish its position in Berlin by
unilateral action"
The United States rights in
Berlin laboriously gone over
again and again to non-listening
Soviets - are based on the Pots
dam agreement. The nations
which defeated Hitler divided
Germany into separate occupa-
ton zones and set up also a di-
vided regime in Berlin with the
Western powers and the Soviet
Union with equal standing.
In the Senate, the Secretary
gained support from Senator
Javits who asked for Q mo back
down" resolution stating the
United States would not accept
unilateral abrogation of its treaty
rights in Berlin.
And in West Berlin, itself, 5000
American combat soldiers rushed
into battle positions early Thurs
day morning in an obvious show
of strength. A few hours later,
100 Soviet troops marched into
the British sector to mark the

The Possibilities

While these developments were
catching the pubhc's eye, Western
officials continued drawing up a
master plan for use in case Mr..
Khrushchev carries out his threat
to sign q peace treaty with East
Germany.
Such an event could pose sew
eral difficult policy problems. The
West is analyzing these political
and military contingencies, so that
1t will be ready to react swiftly to
any Communist move. In addition
to the Government departments
involved, the President has asked
former Secretary Of State Dean
Acheson to take part In the
studies.
The West must decide, for in
stance, how to act if Russia rec
ognizes the East German govern
ment and that government does
not impede movement into Ber-
lin, but insists on stamping papers
and policing the access routes. BY
acceding to these demands, the
West might be recognizing the
East German government de facto,
Western refusal to allow East
Germans to inspect their trains
and trucks could lead to fighting
if the Germans, for instance, tried
to halt a military convoy which
refused to stop. A trigger-happy
soldier on either side could touch
off dangerous situation.

Anxiety

Iranian Premier Amini has
s0Othed political tempers in his
troubled country by promising to
hold elections for Parliament
within the year. He had dissolved
Parliament a month ago.
Premier Khrushchev is reported
as saying that neighboring Iran is
a country where "the misery of the
masses and the corruption of the
government" will surely produce
a revolution.
When the Iranian government
toppled in early May after Tehe-
rams teachers had rioted in the
streets over salary increases, Mr..
Khrushchev looked something like
a prophet.
Not only had the government
crumbled, but the oil-rich country
was in desperate economic straits
brought on by the refusal of
Trans 1000 families" to part with
Cnelr lanoS Tor neeQeQ reforms
and by an unbalanced trade policy
that inflated prices and made life
even more miserable for the ma
tion'S masses.
The United States watched de-
velopments with more than passing
interest since Iran is a member
of the Central Treaty Organiza-
ton (CENTO), which is backed
strongly by this country.
Not only is Middle Eastern
security affected by events in
Iran, but so is American prestige.
The Shah has received millions Of
dollars in military and economic
aid from the United States. A
revolution would give Americas
enemies a propaganda field day.
