Encrooching Soviet Fishing Fleets

had seen In the moving pic
ture. It looks like the liner
United States or the Queen
Mary.
Each year the Russian
fishing fleets move further
south. This is the first year
the Russians have fished in
the Gulf Of Alaska. Last
year they sent only explora-
tory vessels there. 1t is the
second year they have fished
on Georges Bank. 1t is the
second year they have fished
in Bristol Bay and the third
in Boring Sea areas Just
above Bristol Bay.
an each case exploratory
ships preceded the fishing
fleets. 1t is a standard So
Wet procedure.
My colleagues in Con-
gress from the States of
North and South Carolina
may find it Of interest that
last month Russian explor-
atory ships were cruising
the coastal waters of those
two States, observing and
evaluating off-shore stocks
of menhaden. If the Russians
follow their usual pattern,
they will be fishing there a
year or two from now"
Senator Smith Of MasSa-
chusettS supplemented the
above with the statement
that, only Is miles from the
shores of Cape Cod, Ameri-
can fishermen this spring
encountered a huge Soviet
fleet Of over 100 vessels.
Several Senators Joined in
pointing out that American
fishermen face serious COM
petition. Requests are being
made for Fe deral help in
countering the Soviet "in-

Ostensibly, the purpose Of
the Soviets is commercial,
though it is difficult to un-
derstand why they have to
go so far away from their
own coastal waters, or at
least so far beyond the
shores of Britain or France
or Spain or Africa, and
travel all the way across the
Atlantic to get fish that are
plentiful elsewhere, too.
The mystery is so closely
related to military opera
tions that one Of these days
some further disclosures may
be expected.

DAVID LAWRENCE

The Russian people pre-
sumably are hungry. and
they seem to want some fish
to eat. Is it plausible to be-
lieve that the waters ada
cent to Europe haven't any
fish in them, and that this
is why the Russians have
been sending fleets in I'M
precedented numbers to
cruise up and down the Pa
cific and Atlantic coasts Of
this country?
The real function Of these
ships and the equipment
they carry are clothed in
mystery. These vessels are of
such size that they can
conceal mechanical devices
which can be used to inter-
fere with undersea cables or
to lay mines or to operate
detecting devices to chart
the course Of American sub
marines.
There is undoubtedly q
military objective in the
sending Of such large fishing
fleets to American waters.
It's true that outside the
three-mile limit the seas are
legally free to any country,
but so is the sky above the
Soviet Union. Yet not SO
long ago the Communists
raised q big fuss when an
unarmed U-2 plane made
observation trips in space
high above Soviet territory.
The Russians are quick to
condemn Americans for
making what are called
provocative" speeches on
military policy. But the
Communists have not con-
fined themselves to talk.
They have taken an action
with their fishing fleets
which constitutes a real
provocation.
Another questionable phase
Of the whole affair is what
the Russians are up to in
Cuba as they encourage the
use there of certain fishing
vessels for reconnaissance In
American waters. A United
Press International dispatch
from Moscow the other day
said:
THE Soviet Union has
agreed to provide free tech
nical assistance to Cuba for
the development Of CONNER

Sx-Notion October Session in Rome
Ekened to Vienna Event $50 Years Aoo

ROME.-German Chancel-
Tor Adenauer, French Presi-
dent de Gaulle and the Prime
Ministers Of Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg will meet early in Oc-
tober with Prime Minister
Fanfani in Rome to get Eu-
ropean political unity going.
The Italian Prime Minister
eagerly agreed to be the host
to the epoch-making meet
ing. This gathering Of the six
heads of the European Com
munity is regarded as equal
in importance to the Con-
gress Of Vienna, held nearly
$50 years ago. Then Euro
pean statesmen laid the
foundation for a genuine
peace on which Europe
thrived until the outbreak Of
World War I.
Prime Minister Fanfani re-
quested that during the
months preceding the Euro
pean summit there be discus
sionS at the lower level so
that the heads of state could
put the final touches and
their signatures on the his
toric document.
The fact that Gen. de
Gaulle and Chancellor Ade-
nauer have said that they
will remain in Rome only two
days indicates the converse
tons which Mr.. Fanfani re-
ferred to already are under
way and that the heads Of
the Bonn-Paris axis expect
no real difficulties.
There still are differences
between the French point Of
view-which urges a Europe
of the Fatherlands-and the
views Of the Benelux coun-
tries which want complete
European unity in which the
sovereignty of all its members
would be merged. Mr.. AIDE

Notes Made at Toyokan
Inn:
At noon there was Just
time for a bowl Of curry and
rice at q small restaurant
in Fuji-Yoshida. Time was
short because, before starting
for the first climbing station
above the foothills of Full
yama, the guide insisted son
going by q Shinto shrine to
purify himself. So, at the
artesian fountain and it's
huge, square basin, main
tanned for worshipers, we
bathed faces and hands and
poured dippers Of water
down our new mountain
stats. Tradition decorates
them with q flag and two
small bells.
Mount Full Is more than
two miles High. It is snow
capped for most of the year.
In July and August there
is snow only in the deep crew
ices below the peak. The
mountain is closed to elm
bers from late September
until July first.
There Is a mystique about
Full. It Is, Of course, Japan's
most beautiful symbol. Color
pictures of its snow-covered
peak are almost q trademark
Of Japan. But for japanese,
it is more than that. Some
centuries ago Buddhists made
q shrine Of it. They declared
tn at to climb it was q
purifying experience Of great
spiritual value.

co-operated with the West
on the question of Laos. Lord
Home said in a radio inter
view at the London airport
that Laos was regarded at
one time by Washington and
London as likely to unleash
a third world war. RuSsia's
cooperation removed that
danger.
Both Bonn and Paris were
aghast at the statement Of
the well-meaning British
Foreign Minister. But, diplo-
mats in the two capitals
asked, what has been done in
Laos? The Soviet thesis for
a troika with a neutralist
prime minister, Communist
ministers in key positions and
insignificant jobs for pro-
Westerners has prevailed. The
Soviet Union and its Chinese
ally could not have asked
for anything better. There
are few In Western Europe
who do not believe that
within a reasonable time,
say a year, the neutraliSts
will eat up the pro-West-
ernerS and the Communists
will eat up the neutralistS.
Hence, the suggestion of
Lord Home that Laos should
serve as IN example for Ber-
lin has been received in the
two main European capitals
like an icy shower on a cold
winter day.
II the ideas Of the British
Foreign Minister are followed,

that Berlin, too, will become

and eventually gobbled up by
the Communists. Further
more, there is a unity Of
mind between Washington
and London on "accommo-
dation." There is no question
that Lord Homes statement
was not made without a nod
from Secretary Rusk, with
whom he had talked only a
few hours earlier.

Kennedy Seen Issuing New Demands
Before Old Ones Are Resolved

President Kennedy and the
United States Senate speak

at cross-purposes.
With only q month to go
before the normal start of a
congressional campaign, the
President Is making fresh de-

the old ones. Neither seems
willing to take the initiative
in establishing q priority list

which afflicted some Of his
predecessors whose constitu-
entS cared little for the

wanted their Senator to

against the satellite commu-

swiftly and bitterly. They

terness of their own that

buster on civil rights, he

but there are Indications Mr..
Fanfani may veer toward the
French-G German thesis.
Belgium's Foreign Minister
Paul Henri Spaak, leader Of
the opposition to Gen. de
Gaulle, has been Modified.
According to reports from
Brussels and Paris, he is now
satisfied with the promise of
the French and Germans
that Britain eventually will
become a member of the
Common Market. Moreover,
Paris has agreed that the
British shall be kept informed
about the Rome proceedings.
The fact is that, despite
their earlier eagerness to
have Britain in the political
makeup Of New Europe. the
smaller members are willing
to concede to Gen. de Gaulle's
point of view that Britain
can be associated although
she does not actually belong
to the continent any more
than, say, the United States.
The English-speaking ma
tionS. Gen. de Gaulle and
Mr.. Adenauer contend, have
an international outlook to
suit their own purposes. This
at times differs greatly from
that of Western Europe.
An incident which has
caused disquiet in Bonn and
Paris occurred recently. Brit
ish Foreign Minister Lord
Home stated on his return
from Geneva that the agree
ment between the West and
the Soviet Union on neutral
Laos should serve as a good
example of what could be
done about the troublesome
Berlin question. He warned
