WASHINGTON LR - President Kennedy says neither he nor So- viet Premier Khrushchev won a victory over the other at Vienna, but chances of war should be less now that each leader knows bet ter where the other stands.
 Kennedy reported this to the American people Tuesday night in a 23-minute radio-TV speech in which he talked "candidly and publicly" about "a very sober two days" with Khrushchev.
 In balance, the President found his first personal meeting with the Soviet leader immensely useful" - even though, he said a result was to expose more clear ly the prospects of longterm struggle between East and West.
 On specific cold war issues, Kennedy saw some hope that his Vienna encounter would break the deadlock at the Geneva conference on Laos over Soviet refusal to grant cease-fire inspectors free dom to check Violators.
 But he said Khrushchev struck a "serious blow" at the lengthy Geneva talks on a ban on atomic tests. He hinted that the United States, while not abandoning the talks, might soon feel free to re. sume testing
 Our most somber talks" Ken nedy added, were on Berlin where KhrushcheV wants to boo out the Western Allies. Kennedy said he made clear America is de termined to maintain its right there "at any risk"
 To any who might suspec secret deals, Kennedy added 1T reporting on his overseas trip:
 "No advantage or concession was either planned or taken. Nc new aims were stated in private that have not been stated in pub lie on either side"
 "Generally, MT. Khrushchev did not talk in terms of war" Ken

Kennedy Addresses Graduating Class of the US. Naval Academy

ANNAPOLIS, Md. R - Presi- dent Kennedy told the 1861 graduates of the U. s. Naval Academy they must be prepared for leadership in troubled world
 "The battle for freedom takes many forms," Kennedy said. "Your devoted assistance is need ed as never before"
 Kennedy received a standing ovation when he arrived at the field house, where the graduating exercises were held, and again when he was introduced by the Academy Superintendent, Rear Adm. John F. Davidson.
 After his speech, Kennedy handed diplomas to the honor graduates, headed by Jerome F. Smith Jr. of San Diego, Calif., who ranked No. among the 785 receiving degrees.
 Only the top 95 had the dis tinction of receiving their diplo- mas from the Presidents hands.
 Kennedy was introduced by Davidson "as our Commander in Chief, the President of the United States" but the President re- ferred to himself as "a retired civilian officer
 Kennedy, a World War II PIT boat hero, remarked that he never reached the physical and profes- sional perfection that would cause anyone to mistake him for an academy graduate.
 It was Kennedy's first visit to the academy since becoming President.

Labor Officials Survey Feasibility of Full-Time ESC Agent at Nome

Labor Commissioner Gil John son, accompanied by Clinton Johnson, Director of the Federal Bureau of Employment Security's regional office in Seattle, and Merrill Weir, Director of the Elm ployment Security Division with in the Alaska Department of La bor, arrived here yesterday for hearing on the feasibility of a full-time employment agent in this area instead of the local part time agent now employed.
 The survey included a visit to Barrow, Kotzebue and Nome and MT. Johnson expressed the opin- ion that there is need for such an office to handle both employment service and unemployment in surance programs. The person who will be hired, if money is available for this service, would spend half of the time here and the balance of the time in the field or villages throughout the Second District.
 Opening of a full-time office in this area would tie in the big northwestern part of the state with the seven other employment offices stretching from Fairbanks to Ketchikan.
 The party will also visit Bethel and Kodiak as well as Anchorage before returning to Juneau.

Castro's Reply to
 TractOrS-fOr-P Prisoners Described as Verbose

DETROIT tR - Leaders of a citizens movement today studied a cable from Prime Minister Cas- tro giving his latest conditions for further negotiations on swapping 1,200 Cuban invasion prisoners for 500 American tractors.
 Castro indicated he still stood by an offer he first made May IT for such a deal. But his cable described as verbose as his speeches - hedged on details.
 Before replying to Castro, Wal ter Reuther, cochairman o1 Tractors for Freedom, Inc, con ferred here with Joseph M. Dodge Detroit banker who is treasurer of the group. The conference was delayed until Castro's reply could be translated from Spanish.
 Reuther and Dodge also set up phone conferences with Eleanor Roosevelt, honorary chairman of the committee, and pr. Milton Eisenhower, President of John Hopkins University, who is CO., chairman along with Reuther who is president of the United Auto Workers Union.
 Castro's willingness to continue negotiations was announced on the Havana radio 12 hours before to- days noon deadline given by the committee.

Chances of War are Less as Each
 Leader Knows Where the Other Stands

nedy said "He believes the world will move his way without resort to force Most of all, he predicted the triumph of Communism in the new and less developed coun- tries"
 Denying this inevitability of the Communist victory, Kennedy ap- pealed for national support of his $48-billion program of foreign aid for the coming year, much of which is earmarked for newly de- veloping lands. "We will have no more crucial obligation now" he said.
 The youthful President spoke earnestly and somberly and part ly without text as he recounted the high spots of his 9,120-mile weeks trip to Europe from which he returned Tuesday morning.
 Congressmen of both parties joined in praise of Kennedy's un- vanished report. They generally agreed that little had been ac- complished beyond putting Ken neoy and Khrushchev on a first hand basis for the future, but they figured that at least was a step forward.
 In telling of his June 3-4 meet ing with Khrushchev, Kennedy said in like vein:
 "The gap between us was not in such a short period materially reduced, but at least the channels of communication were opened more fully.
 "At least the chances of a dan gerous misjudgment on either side should now be less, and at least the men on whose decisions the peace in part depends have agreed 1 to remain in contact.
 Our views contrasted sharply, but at least we knew better at the end where we stood"

Nikita Gets In the Act - Dances the Cha Cha Cha

MOSCOW R - While Presi- dent Kennedy was telling the American people of his "somber' talks with Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Premier was dancing the cha cha cha with President Sukarno of Indonesia.
 Back from Vienna in a light hearted, light-footed mood, the 66-year-old Soviet leader was the life of the party last night at a celebration for the visiting In- donesian presidents 60th birth day.
 It was the gayest Moscow party in half a dozen years and Khrush- chev was in his gayest form since he gave up vodka for orange juice.
 Swept up by the rhythmic beat of band playing "Indonesia Is Free, Cha Cha Cha', the Soviet premier v-9s out on the dance floor hand-in-hand with Sukarno
 Khrushchev did a few impro- vised steps just for laughs - crouching as in the Cossack dance and kicking out his legs. He beat bongo drum. At another point he grabbed Sukarno's marshall; baton and began leading the or. chestra.
 When the Indonesian presiden suggested this would cost the So viet government new loan Khrushchev turned his pocket inside out to show they were empty and quipped:

SEATTLE R - Atty William Paul, Grand President Emeritus of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, said here today the plight of Es- kimoS at Pt. Barrow, Teller, Bethel and other places is livery serious" because Fish and Wild life agents have confiscated the natives weapons as they hunted ducks and geese for food.
 To take guns away from Es- kimos now means they will be on relief the rest of the year, he de- clared.
 He said he had a telegram from ANB President Alfred Widmark, of Klawock, Alaska, which read:
 "Fish and Wildlife agents have made mass arrests at Barrow and have confiscated guns of hunters. There also has been gunplay near Bethel and in other areas. Vel fare and relief measures cannot adequately replace this source of food for family use. Battle is for survival"
 Alaska Gov. Egan said at Jul neau last week that the states welfare costs would jump $780, 900 a year because the Eskimos, by federal law, are absolutely for bidden to take migratory water fowl for food out of season. He commented on arrests at Barrow and a mass meeting of Eskimos at which 138 signed statements they had killed birds illegally.
