Surplus" of medium and in

sileS.
Every one Of them estab-
lished in Cuba is the equiva-
lent of an ICBM based in the
Soviet Union.
For q nation with a first
strike strategy, this one vast
launching pad in Cuba thus
becomes a key component.
If the United States had a
strategy Of delivering the first
blow, the Soviet missile bases
In Cuba would have little sig
lificance, because they could
be knocked out in a surprise
first strike by this country.
But the United States has
disavowed any intention OF
embracing the first-strike
strategy.
At a later stage in the devel-
oping arms race, after the
United States second-strike
force becomes more heavily
weighted with missile-carrying
Polaris submarines and other
less vulnerable systems, the
land-based SAC component
may be less important. Hostile
iuclear rocket bases in Cuba
might then be somewhat less
Of a threat.
What electrified American
strategistS was that the Soviet
Union was Selling this moment
in the arms race for a lightning
buildup in Cuba of nucleaI
rocket power which might be
sufficient to leave the United
States helpless after a sur
prise attack.
Lack Of symmetry between
the Soviet Unions first-strikt
strategy and the United States
second-strike strategy alsC
makes it invalid to equate
NATO bases in Turkey anC
Italy with Soviet bases in Cuba
officials say.
Against a first-strike STRAIT
egy like the Soviet Unions
these bases have less value
than usually supposed. The!
probably would be wiped out II
the first surprise salvo.
But the Cuban missile bases
on the doorstep Of a nation
with a second-strike strategy
become extremely important il
the hands of nation with
first-strike strategy.
This insight into the bash
strategic picture also exposes
the absurdity Of the Sovie
propaganda claim that all thu

where Soviet and United States
power confront each other.
No Evidence of Dismantling
The key issue remains the
presence of some 80 rockets
and launchers in Cuba. United
States intelligence has found
no evidence the bases are being
diSmantled as the President de-
manded in the American reso-
luton now before the United
Nations Security Council.
The United States objective
Is to get the rockets out OF
Cuba, without war if possible,
American officials are re.
ported ready to talk with Acting
Secretary General U Thant
about his proposal for a tenn
porary United States lifting o.
its quarantine in return for
simultaneous suspension Of So
Wet shipments of offensive
weapons to Cuba.
But the United States posi-
ton is understood to be firm
that verification of at least tn

be provided before the arises
blockade is lifted.
Elements Of Caution
Premier Khrushchev's letter
to British Philosopher Lore
Bertrand Russell disclosed ele-
ments of caution and flexibility
in the Soviet position, these
sources acknowledge, but il
changed the situation very
little.
Experts here did not see the
Soviet proposal for withdrawal
from all foreign bases, those Of
the West in Europe and Asia
and those Of the Soviet Union
in Cuba and Eastern Europe
as a solution.
The United States has con-
sistently opposed the same
proposal in general disarma-
ment discussions.
Washington was cool to thu
suggestions that Cubans be in.
vited to join the discussion
for a possible settlement Of thu
crisis. The Acting Secretary
General, it is pointed out, will
be in touch with Cuban Off
Gals.

Presidents Trip
To Brazil Is IfN

President Kennedy's long
planned visit to Brazil next
month now is in the "iffy''
stage.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger told newsmen
late yesterday that there is
no present plan to cancel the
Brazilian trip scheduled for
November 1914.
But he said he thought that
trip as we'll as all of the Presi-
dents scheduled activities this
year are being "re-eValuated
| in the light of the current
situation"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-25

population. A move to stop
military traffic on the auto
bahns and in the air corridors
as an alternative to an about
blockade might offer some ad-
vantages to the Russians IN the
propaganda field. But that ii
would reduce the risk of con-
flict is strongly denied by all
allied officials here.
The more hopeful view OF
what may be in store for Ber-
lin has been strengthened
during the last two days by the
obvious restraint of the Russian
reaction so far.
Foreign Minister Andrea
Gromyko, it is noted. made nc
mention of Cuba in the course
of his stopover in East Berlin
yesterday. His rather routine
speech merely repeated the
well-worn Russian themes
about the need for a peace
treaty and respect for East
German sovereignty. There was
no new note OF menace.
The only reference to Cuba
came from East German For
eign Minister Bolz who said
Russia would save the island
from "imperialistic attacks
But neither he nor the East
German press have so far made
any connection between Berlin
and Cuba.
Note to Russell Cited
Even more significance is
being attached to Mr.. Khru-
shchev's message yesterday to
Britain's leftwing philosopher
Bertrand Russell assuring him
that 1.-The Soviet Union will
take no rash decisions"
The message, of course, was
not wholly reassuring. MIR.
Khrushchev's call for a summit
conference and his promise to
do everything which depends
on us to prevent launching OF
a war" is balanced against the
threat to make use Of the
means of defense against the
aggressor" If the United States
goes through with its Cuban
blockade.
The best that can be said,
perhaps, is that Mr.. Khru-
shchev seems in no terrible
hurry to make up his mind.
Quite obviously, whatever he
decides to do will be done in
the name of humanity and uni
versale peace. And whichever
side of the argument he favorS
no one in Berlin is increasing
his fingers at this point.

TALK, THEN MUSIC

something that is either a type
writer with a dragons head or
a dragon with a typewriter's in
nards. Whatever it is, it is i'm
paled with a sword, and when
ever Adlai Stevenson gazed upon
it during the long evening OF
suggested compromise, it seemed
to give him no inspiration
whatever.
Sermon on Morality -
Surely what was said did not.
The United Arab Republic de-
livered a little sermon on in
ternational morality, and said
it could not condone the United
States unilateral decision to
use a blockade in the Carib-
bean and said that the secre-
tary general should "act ur-
gently to save international
peace"
Ghana followed, forbearing
to assign the blame for the
dreadful state of affairs pre-
vailing and suggested that the
discussion proceed "f not
along the lines of serenity, at
least those of sanity"
And finally, at 9:34, the
acting secretary-general, u
Thant laid down his cheroot
and read aloud identical let
tiers he had sent to President
Kennedy and Chairman Khru-
shchev asking the first to call
off the blockade and the sec
ond to call off his arm bearing
ships for two to three weeks.
Whisperers at Work
Before he finished speaking
the whisperers were saying
that President Kennedy would
never accept the suggestion
without guarantees: 80
In the corridors afterwards,
the crisis was on again. PreSi-
dent Kennedy's rejection was
taken for granted. Predictions
were heard that the blockade
would continue, that the Soviet
ships would return to course
and that the threat Of war,
which receded all afternoon
was back in full force.
The birthday celebration was
over.

not be stopped, and, therefore,
war-like incidents need not
occur.
The President is said to have
been estimating from the start
that the blockade would be
proved successful after one en-
counter.
He was fairly confident
that intelligence could tell him
which Soviet ships carried
contraband. These he intended
to stop, search and turn bach
or sink.
Incident Seen Crucial
But, he reasoned, it woulC
take only one such incident
either to make the blockade
a success or to find that Russia
means war.
The informed estimate now
is that Russia has backed
down, that the ships that
turned tail will not return
escorted by the Russian navy
Now comes a tougher nut:
Can the existing missiles and
bombers be ousted from Cuba
by persuasion, and economic
blockade, or must the sites be
bombed or the island invaded?
The administration hopes
that the less forceful steps will
do the trick.

the logic OF the situation rather
than anything that Premier
Khrushchev has said or done
within the last 48 hours.
Berlin, 1t is pointed out, is
the most convenient and vul-
nerable target for a Russian
countermove. Mr.. Khrushchev
has been talking for years about
his determination to normal
ize" Berlin by forcing the Allies
out of the city. Quite clearly
the plans have been carefully
prepared.
Even before the Cuban crisis,
Russia's leader had apparently
convinced top American off,
cials that a new move against
the city was imminent. And
there is a fairly widespread
suspicion that this timetable
may now be stepped up.
Other Argument
Those who do not expect real
trouble in Berlin also base their
argument on the length of time
the threat to Berlin has incu-
bated. BY this time, they con-
tend, the whole problem has
been so thoroughly explored
that Mr.. Khrushchev knows
within very precise limits ex-
actly how far he can go without
precipitating a war.
Since this is not very far and
Mr.. Khrushchev doesn't want
war, Berlin may not be a very
attractive target after all. The
perennial Berlin crisis, accord
ing to this school of thought, is
perhaps the most stable crisis
in the world.
II this argument proves
wrong what kind of squeeze on
the city is to be expected?
Here again there is nothing
like unanimity among the
crystal ball gazers assembled
here. One opinion frequently
expressed, however, is that if
anything happens it will be the
Russians rather than the East
Germans who will be involved.
Since the Cuban showdown has
developed as a direct confronta-
ton of American and Soviet
power, nothing less than that
can be expected as a retaliatory
measure.

Siren Signals Explained
Up-to-date warning instruc-

as a steady, non-pulsating siren
blast continuing for five min
utes. Persons hearing the sig
nal should go Immediately tc
designated shelter areas.
The "take-cover" siren blast
a wailing, rising and falling
sound, indicates that an attack
is imminent.
Previously, the steady siren
sound was the signal to evacu-
ate buildings. This procedure
was formulated in the era OF
the manned bomber when it
was assumed that city popula-
lions would have time to evacu-
ate to the countryside.

There's family nobody likes to meet,

In the city of Never-Are-SatiSfied
The river of Disc content beside.
They growl at that and they growl at this,
Whatever comes there is something amiss :;
And whether their station be high or
humble,
They are known by the name of Grumble -
he weather is always too hot or too cold
Summer and winter alike they scold:
Nothing goes right with the folks you meet
Down on the gloomy Complaining Street
lhey groWl at the rain and they growl at
the sun,
In fact, their growing is never done
And if everything pleased them. there isn't
doubt
They'd growl that they'd nothing to
grUmble about"
And the worst thing is that if any one stays
.tm0ng them too long he will learn their
ways,
And before he dreams of the terrible tumble
He's adopted into the family of Grumble

FROM wandering into Complaining Street :;
And never to growl. whatever YOU do,
Lest we be mistaken for Grumblers too
