Q. If you take a news story
with nothing involving security
why should 1t be necessary that
a third person come along with
you, a Pentagon information Of
ficer2
A. That isn't necessary I'M
der the current Pentagon order.
q. 1t is happening.
A. No. Under the order the
person could see you as long as
he submits a report to Sylvester
arthur Sylvester, Pentagon in
formation chief) saying he has
seen you and that is the SUBJ
ject he talked TO you about.
q. Why should he even have
to submit q report2
A. Because, Of course, in the
Defense Department the line
between security and non-secu-
rtty information is a very diff
cult line. and 50 II you are going

nation. AS, I am saying, this
policy is under study right now,
but I do make the statement,
and I stand with 1t. that ! have
had no demonstration whatever
that this policy has been inhib-
iting to anybody in the Defense
Department nor has it kept any
reporter from getting legitimate
information.
@. Is there not a possibility
If this order is allowed
to stand, it will be an example
for not only Defense and State,
but for the other agencies2
A. Defense and State are the
two places where you are likely
to get the bulk Of your security
information in the Government
and I would not think 1t would
spread to other agencies. and ]
would not be in favor of II
spreading to other agencies.

Policies Decided
By President

q. Just who is responsible
for this administrations over
all information policies?
A. In the stage from October
is to October % there was the
Presidents determination thai
there should be absolute secrecy
in the Government in order Il
permit him the freest hand ir
preparing to deal with this crisil
and presenting our opponents
with an accomplished fact.
Q. This would have been SOLE
ly his decision?
A. 1t was his decision. After
October % there were a variety
Of people who participated in
the decision, notably the Exec
utive Committee of the National
Security Council.
q. Before October %, was it
the Presidents order that these
high officials not talk with the
reporters?
A. Absolutely.
@. Did he lift that order at
any point?
A. Yes. ! would say that a
number Of these officials have
talked to reporters in the past
three or four weeks. There has
been an abundance Of recapitu-
lation Of the Cuban matter
which has been gained through
discussion with various officials
who took part.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-09

would have I'd work out over
a period of time.
He repeated that in a greatly
expanded way in his speech to
the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association in April of
1861, and the real thing / re-
greet is that there was not a
real, sincere effort made be-
tween April of 1861 and Octo-
Der of 1862 to sit down and
try to work out these problems
in a Joint way between the press
and the White House, because
I think that we are living In
a period when there are going
to be a number of crises of this
kind.
I would rather have the type
Of approach to these problems
which meets with the approval
Of the press. Naturally we have
to decide these policies in what
we consider to be the best in
terest Of the Government of the
United States in a time of
crisis.
We have been through the
Cuban experience and now
would be the time for top lead
ers in the information media
who have real feelings about
this subject to get together
with some of us in the Gov
eminent who have responsible
tiles in the field of information.
@. Is the President contem-
plating initiating any meetings
on information policy or do you
think that the publishers them
selves have this responsibility
A. 1 think right now, on the
basis of the Presidents remarks
at his press conference two
weeks ago. that the ball is ir
the other court. I think the
President made it very cleal
that we are willing to discus,
these subjects at any time tina
anybody wants to come for,
ward and discuss them with us
We have not yet had such az
approach.

Not Trying to Find
Source of Story

@. Are you trying to find
out how they got the infor-
nation?
A. Well, I think I would
rather let that matter stand
as it is.
@. Is 1t true that the sug-
gestion for q post-mortem Gu
ban piece in the Saturday Even
ing Post came directly from
the President to Mr.. BartlettP
A. I don't believe that is a
fact: no. sir.
O.. And secondly. is 1t q fact
that the President did call
people in the Government
asking them to see both Mr..
Alsop and Mr.. Bartlett?
A. I know Of no such call
made by the President.
@. Before the President took
office, we had a session at
the Mayflower when you want
ed our suggestions on handling
the press. and I believe I asked
what the President would do If
one Of his personal Journalistic
friends would exploit the In
formation that he got from
the President, and whether
the President was prepared to
end or break those friendships.
1t is my recollection you said
you thought he would. Can you
tell us whether there will be
any such break2
A. No, because the President
did not talk to Mr.. Bartlett
about this piece and this piece
did not result from any in
formation which Mr.. Bartlett
got from the President.
It is always going to be a
problem for q, President who
has friends in the newspaper
business. but I can state cate
gorically that the President
played no role whatever In this
piece, or as far as ] know in
any other piece MFR. Bartlett
has ever written.
q. Getting back TO the Gu
ban crisis, and the informa-
ton policies at that time. is
there any lesson In this affair
for the administration
A. Well. I think there is q
lesson.
At the Presidents first press
conference Of January rs. 1861,
the President said that this
was a very difficult problem
In a free society and one which
the Government and the press
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-09

the Saturday Evening Post was
an accurate description of the
accounts Of the National Sc
curity Council, but assuming
for a moment that they were,
we are constantly on the look
out to attempt to stop this.
But this is one Of the great
problems Of a free society, and
that is that people in Govern
ment are accessible. and they
talk. and sometimes they talk
too much, and the RESPONSE
bility is as much on them as
it is on newspapers, which Of
ten carry information Of an
intelligence nature.
We have had some examples
in the last two years of in
telligence information which
has appeared in newspapers,
and I think that there is a
joint responsibility there on
the Government official who
disclosed the information and
the member Of the press who
prints that information.
The Saturday Evening Post
article is less Of an intelli-
gence problem than the leak
Of secret information out Of
the Defense Department.
@. Obviously, someone did
talk to Stewart Alsop and
Charles Bartlett.
A. Again, ! can't make that
assumption. Neither Mr.. Alsop
nor Mr.. Bartlett has told me
how he acquired this informa-
ton.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-09
Would Set Limits
On Classified Data

I don't believe that anything
that is really not vital to the
Nations interests should be
classified. We are attempting to
define 1t so that we can have
a very clear line between what
is vital to the national interest,
and what is not. When that line
is drawn. then 1t is much easier
to enforce the regulations
against the dissemination Of Sc
curity information. Only when
there is a kind Of "fuzzed up
middle area, where you are not
quite sure whether it is secur-
ity information or not. and
someone Just puts. a security
stamp on 1t, that is where our
problem comes.
@. Beyond the reaction Of the
press, what has been the reac-
ton Of the public?
A. My mail is running about
80 per cent in favor Of the Gov
ernment's policies. These people
are saying that the President,
who has all the facts before
him and has got to make the
decisions, should have the lati-
tude Of making the decisions
and revealing what he thinks
can be revealed in the national
interest. and I do agree with
that.
@. Why doesn't this same
philosophy justify censorship in
any field?
A. Because we haven't advo-
Gated censorship, nor have we
practiced it.
@. Doesn't what you say about
the public reflect a distorted
idea of what the objections are?
A. Well. if it does, then the
press is to blame itself, because
they have been writing rather
massively on this subject.
think that they have failed tc
communicate these objections
to the public.

Freedom of Action
Was Goal of Curbs

Number one, 1t was to per-
NIT the United States Govern
ment the freedom of action
that it needed to respond to
the missile threat, and second,
the desire Of the United States
to make its decision known
without our adversaries having
prior information on 1t. And ]
think there Is no question that
a key element in the success
of the Presidents Cuban policy
was the fact that he was able
to come out on October %
with the decision for the quar-
antine without the Soviet
Union having prior informa-
ton about it.
On the second period, we did
put q clamp on news such as
the movement Of troops, ships
and planes. We did institute
the policies which have been
criticized by the press.
Personally. my own view of
these policies is that they were
an internal mechanism within
the departments for giving
Secretary Of Defense Mcnamara
and Secretary Of State Rusk
some idea Of who in the de-
partment was dispensing In
formation and what kind.
Despite the many things !
have heard from the press
about this policy, I have yet
to have q single demonstrable
incident where an officer of
the Defense Department or of
ficer Of the State Department
was inhibited IN talking to the
press about legitimate infor-
nation. or where q reporter
feels that he was denied legiti-
mate information because of
this policy.

No Double Standard
On Press Controls

a kind of double standard
operating In view Of the re-
strictions on the press general
ly IN that period. and the &C.

Evening Post article?
Al would say Just the OPP

article which appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post, pur-
portedly revealing information
from inside deliberations Of the
National Security Council
would back up my feeling thai
the type Of policies which VIC

crisis were necessary.

how do you defend that prac-

A. I DO not accept the prem
Use Of news management, either
during the Cuban crisis, or as
an aver-all premise Of this ad-
ministration. I think that our
record will demonstrate that it
has been our intent wherever
possible to allow the freest
access to information,
One Of the first things that
we did when we came into the
White House was to find those
areas where the Moss commit
tee felt that legitimate infor-
nation had been withheld
from the press. We managed
to solve about 80 per cent Of
the complaints Of the Moss

the Moss committee actually

First was the period from
October is when the missiles
were first detected in Cuba, to
the time the President gave a
speech the night Of October
%. And the second period from
October % to the present time.
We frankly did impose the
highest type of security and
secrecy over the activities of
the Government In the period
from October is to October 20.
There were several reasons for

AND RHEUA
New muScle-relaxing tablet Wol
gives more effective relief from pa
body aches and stiffness ir
Today there has been breakthrough against the
pain and muscle stiffness of minor arthritis and
rheumatism. Scientists have developed new
kind of medicine that you can take frequently,
according to directions, for prolonged relief.
This medicine works by new principle-through
the muscle fbres themselves. 1t has been tested
extensively on patients suffering from arthritis,
rheumatism, body aches and stiffness in the 8
major areas of pain and has proved dramatically
superior in bringing relief.
In case after case pain and stiffness we're relieved.
Twice as many patients found relief, compared
to those who took the most widely used pain
tablets. Many patients found the new medicine
acted faster or relief lasted longer, or was more
complete. They could reach, lift walk, bend and
move with greater ease and freedom.
This new medicine is DEFENCIN-a two-layer
tablet with prescription-type ingredients-now
available without prescription.
Here IS an explanation of how DEFENCIN works,
what it does and its three-action relief.
Arthritis and its chain of pain
The pain of arthritis or rheumatism is not
simple matter 1t is like chain with many links
Muscles, joints and nerves make up these links.
When muscles around the painful joint stiffen
and ''lock" they restrict Joint movement. Every
time we do move, it hurts This pain, in turn,
irritates nerves, making the pain still worse.
Muscles, joints, nerves-this is the chain OF pain
of arthrtis and rheumatism.
The key that unIocks the chain
Aspirin, common pain tablets and ordinary nom
prescription "arthritis pills are designed essen
TALLY to blunt pain. They act primarily in one
way give only PARKWAY relief, do relatively
little for muscles, joints or nerves. They don't

unique new three-action formula
Each DEFENCIN tablet contains:
Cd An exclusive muscle reldrant that quickly

tension that accompanies and aggravates painful
conditions.
