UNITED NATIONS, N. y
United Nations diplomats are
bracing themselves for the shock
wave which is likely to hit this
organization when Red China is
seated.
Only a minor miracle can pre-
vent Peiping from taking its seat
this year. U. N. people believe.
This event, coming on top of the
death Of Dag Hammarskjold, is
likely to rock the u. N. to is foun-
dations. The U. N. depends heayi.
ly on American public support.
And the Red China crisis is
essentially unnecessary. The bed
rock truth, according to the best
sources, is that Nationalist Chi
ma has the power to save her
self-and refuses to do 1t.
She seems determined to COM
NIT political suicide.
The story is this:
Mauritania, a sister state Of
IL former French colonies in Afri-
ca, is waiting in the U. N. ante
room, eager to consolidate her
newly won independence by ad-
mission to the world commu-
nifty.
Russia, wooing Morocco (Which
covets Mauritania's territory has
contrived to link the admission
Of Mauritania to that Of Outer
Mongolia. Both will come in, Mos
COW says, or neither.
And Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek will not let in Outer Mon
glia. So both countries stand to
lose.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-08

It is illogical, observers say,
for the African friends Of Mauri-
tania to blame China rather than
Russia for the deadlock. But 1t
is a fact. They do blame China.
And they say they will take re-
venge by casting the decisive
votes to Gust her delegate, DR..
T. F. Tsiang.
They can do it; they hold the
balance Of power.
Tsiang is one Of the ablest
diplomats here. He knows the day
Of decision has arrived. He cabled
home last week uging a policy
shift. Chang could agree, but as
Of this writing. his orders to
Tsiang still are to block Mon
golia, whatever the cost.
No one knows for sure what
the Gissimo's reason for this
stand is. He says it is a matter
Of refusing to pay blackmail, and
this may in fact be the reason.
He may believe that something
will turn up-that the United
States, under immense domestic
pressure to bar Red China, will
devise some miracle to stave off
the AK.
He is said to live in the past,
as do many men Of his genera
ton. To him, l945 is as vivid as
yesterday. In 1945, the Russian;
promised him they would not help
the Chinese Communists take over
the mainland. In return for this
promise, he agreed to recognize
the independence Of Outer Mon
golia-that is, in effect, to cede
it to Russia.

White House Making Real Moves
TO Achieve a Balanced Budget

lieve his objective is within reach.
Their earnestness has been hard
ened by the experiences Of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Dillon in
Vienna, where the conservative
men who hold the reins Of fl
nancial power in Europe and have
the capacity to force the United
States into a new gold crisis
showed deep scepticiSm Of the
administration fiscal intentions.
The President and his Budget
aides will be working to the &C.
compartment Of liberal cries like
those Of Harry Truman's econ
omist, Leon Keyserling, who
maintains the Kennedy admins
tration has come very close to
espousal of the Eisenhower Hum
phrey concept Of balancing the
budget at the expense Of the
economy"
The essence Of the Presidents
task is to persuade his liberal
supporters to be content with
progressivism at a time when he
feels the nation cannot afford,
for many reasons, to 60 deeper
into the red.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-08

much akin to that OF Senator
Douglas, Democrat Of Illinois, who
supports programs designed to in
crease Federal efforts in behalf
Of the individual but fights bit
terly to restrict the frills that
are constantly put forward by
the bureaucracy.
Important Pressures
Mr.. Kennedy is pressing to
have this philosophy reflected in
his administration by increased
efficiency. The largest single re-
suit Of these pressures so far has
been Secretary Of Defense Nc
Namara's development Of a uni
fled supply agency for the three
services, a move expected to save
over $50 million year.
These pressures are important
for the atmosphere they generate
as we'll as for the dollars they
save but they will not produce
a balanced budget next January.
The budget requests from the in
dividual services and agencies are
in and they are large beyond the
grimmest expectations. The buoy.
ancy that came to town with
the New Frontier stirred q
bureaucratic expectation that the
repressions of the Eisenhower
days were over and that the liv-
ing would now be easier. The
fact that Mr.. Eisenhower was
able to accomplish a balanced
budget on only three of his years
in office is strong evidence Of
the Federal appetite. ...
In pursuing his aim Of a bal
anced budget without increased
taxes, the President will be obliged
in the weeks ahead to make
tremendously hard decisions on
programs to which he has mental
and political commitments. But
he gives the impression Of being
determined and his top aides be.

u. N. Braces for Red Chino Admission

Chang. The Soviet dictator did
not give Mao Tse-tung all the
help Mao wanted, by any means,
but he did give significant help.
Now Chang refuses to, let the
U. N. ratify the separation Of
Outer Mongolia from China.
The United States. living in
the present, has moved heaven
and earth to persuade Chang to
change his mind. It has argued
that the U. N. seat Is worth more
"a lot more-than Outer Mon
golia. But as yet. these pleas have
had no visible effect.
Chang wants the United States
to put enough pressure on other
members Of the Security Council
to prevent Outer Mongolia from
getting a seven-vote majority.
Then it would not be-or at least
might not seem to be-China
which had blocked Mongolia.
This, the United States con-
tends, would not work. The
French Africans would simply be
furious at both China and the
United States, and would take re-
venge on both.
Washington and Taipeh have
been wrestling over the issue all
summer. Secretary of State Rusk
recently remarked ruefully that 1t
was hard to tell who was putting
. pressure on whom.
At one point, the United States
favored a two-Chinas solution,
with Red China seated as China
and Nationalist China as Formo-
sa. But Chang absolutely re-
fused to consider it.

By CHARLES BARTLETT

Much Of the commotion around
the Presidents office in recent
days has been directed at the
most Herculean task Of them all
the job Of cutting government
expenses and bringing the 1858
budget into balance.
cF Many outside economists doubt
that he can do 1t without raising
taxes. Some Of his own staff do
not. feel that 1t Is q matter Of
great political importance. Many
liberals In and out of government
are indignant at an effort which
seems certain TO infringe on the
generous promises Of the 1860
campaign.
But the Presidents own mood
was discernible in many phases
Of the week. His brother Edward
called from Boston after his veto
OF the $50 million postal pay
raise bill and said he had to ap-
pear in q matter Of hours before
a. group Of postal clerks. What
will tell them?" the younger
Kennedy asked.
=. Look them in the eye, the
President is reported to have re-
piled, and tell them that the
revenue to finance the raise
wasn't there.
Reviewing the unexpected de-
mands that the summers bumper
farm crops will make against the
Treasury, the President directed
his chief economic adviser, Wal
tet Heller, to begin a White House
study Of the agricultural subsidy
and issued orders that the Agri-
culture Department cannot make
any new support commitments
without White House clearance.
On Federal Employment
Other steps are underway. Aides
are moving toward the partial
impounding Of the extra defense
funds which Congress voted and
q Presidential directive aimed at
hating the expansion Of Federal
employment is in preparation.
The President is showing his
mood n dealing with instances Of
government waste which he per.
sonally perceives. When the White
House gardeners asked recently
fora larger staff, he refused then
and even considered having the
family gardener come down from
Hyannis Port to assess the dis
tribution Of labor on the execu
tive grounds.
