The Question
Of Non-InVosion

@. Mr.. President, with respect
to your no-invasion pledge,
there has been considerable
discussion and speculation in
the press as to the exact scope
of this pledge. I believe that
Chairman Khrushchev, in his
letter of the 28th, made the
assumption, or the implication,
or the statement, that no at
tack would be made on Castro,
not only by the United States,
but any other country in the
Western Hemisphere.
1t appeared to be an implica-
ton that possibly you would be
willing to guarantee Castro
against any and all enemies
anywhere. I realize that in your
letter there was nothing Of that
sort and you have touched on
this today, but / am wondering
If you can be bit more specific
on the scope Of your no-in-
vaSion pledge.
A. I think that today's state
ment describes very clearly
what the policy is of the Gov
eminent in regard to no-in-
vasi0n

KENNEDY AND HIS MONEY
President Carries Cash

General Robert F. Kennedy,
Fairfax County, Va, records in
dictate the home is still legally
owned by Joseph P. Kennedy,
the father.
For two years the Kennedys
have rented a Middleburg (Va0
estate, Glen Ora, but now they
are building a seven-bedroom
country house on Rattlesnake
Mountain, near Middleburg.
The 39-acre tract was purchased
for $4,000 and the White
House says the home, over
looking the lush fox hunt coun-
try of Virginia, will cost about
$45, 900. The only other home
he has owned as President is
the modest vacation house in
the Kennedy family compound
at Hyannisport on Cape Cod.
Not Gambler
While Mr.. Kennedy has al
ways lived well, as befits a man
of means, he has never been a
big spender, a gambler or a
man who sought to impress by
scattering large bills around.
His biographer, James Mac
Gregor Burns, who had access
to many Kennedy papers when
John Kennedy was a Senator,
relates two instances that indi-
cate how the boy was nodded
financially. The first was let
ter from young Jack to his
father. as quoted. in the book,
John Kennedy:
MY recent allowance is 40
cents. This / used for aero
planes and other playthings Of
childhood but now / am a scout
and I put away childish things.
Before I would spend 20 cents
of my 40 cents allowance and

Can't Predict Result

@. Mr.. President, when you
speak of this as a climactic
period, can you sketch in what
you think some Of the ultimate
possibilities are?
A. No, I don't think we can
but 1 do think If five years age
we had looked at the world,
don't think we would have
made Judgment that it would
have moved quite the way it
has moved, that China and
India would. be involved in a
very serious struggle which
may lead to a full-scale war
if it hasn't already, and that
relations in many parts Of the
world would be as changing as
they are.
I think this is a very eli
period.

Nations? If we wanted to in

unilateral action in any way,
could we do so without the
approval Of United Nations?
A. The United States has the
means as a sovereign power to
defend itself, and of course ex-
.ercises that power. 1t has in
the past and would in the
future. We would have to hope
to exercise it in a way con-

Contributing Writer

President Kennedy has never
owned a credit card.
In this respect, he is a fiscal
troglodyte, clinging to the pre-
historic days when prominent
men of affairs carried cash to
pay their small bills of the day.
Some of the Presidents po-
litical friends used to twit
him about not carrying enough
pocket money to defray such
items as restaurant checks, but
the President himself believes
this poor rich mans angle has
been overdone.
There have been times when
others had to pick up the check,
but for the most part the Pres
ident carries enough money in
his wallet to pick up a gift for
Caroline or buy newspapers
and magazines, which he &C.
casionally does at newsstands
in the vicinity of the White
House.
Didn't Have a Dime"
AS President, there are few
times when he needs cash of
any stable amount, since a
President moves in cocoon Of
aides and services.
The old days bring fond
memories to some people. One
unsung national hero, Newell
Garden, an electronics COM
pany employee in Boston, made
the news wires one day by
claiming he met Mr.. Kennedy
when he didn't have a dime.
It seems Mr.. Garden once
said hello to Senator Kennedy
in LaGuardia Airport in New
York City and was promptly
bummed for a dime so Mr..
Kennedy could get the operator
to call his home IN HyannlS
Port.
Most Of Mr.. Kennedy's major
money transactions, including
his tax returns, are handled by
the Kennedy family financial
headquarters at 230 Park ave-
nue. in New York, where about
20 persons keep track of invest
mentS and records under the
direction of Stephen Smith, the
Presidents brother-in-law, and
Thomas j. Walsh, New York
auditor and tax consultant.
For smaller items, the PreSi-
dent and Jacqueline Kennedy
maintain separate checking &C
counts. Her bank is the Riggs
National Bank on Pennsylvania
avenue only a block from the
White House.

Key Problems

that you will issue a formal no.
invasion pledge only after sat-
isfactory arrangements have
been made for verification and
after adequate arrangements
have been made to make sure
that such weapons are not re-
introduced much more?
A. Quite obviously, as 1 said
in my statements, serious prob
lens remain as to notification
and reinsurance, and, there

tiations really have not been
completed and until they are
completed. of course. I suppose

The President keeps his &C
count in the First National City
Bank Of New York City.
Like most first families, the
Kennedys find that some of
their checks never get cashed.
In Georgetown, a shoe repair
firm, Bredice Bros, has framed
two Kennedy checks written
last year.
Check No. 1889 on the First
National City Bank from John
Kennedy paid for SIS worth of
shoe repairs on May %, last
year. Earlier, on February 8,
1861, Mrs. Kennedy paid for
$5.87 worth of shoe repairs with
Check No. 5 on the Riggs Ma
tional Bank.
Has Had 4 Homes in Area
While Mr.. Kennedy has never
been in business, he lost nc
money on his major house deal
He purchased a home at 1907
N street in Georgetown in the
fall of 1857. Revenue stamps at
the recorder of deeds office in
the District of Columbia indi-
cate a sales price of $45,500,
but the former owner says that
actually Kennedy paid $4,000
for the house, paying $45,5
cash above, the mortgage. The
check for this amount came
from the Kennedy family fl
nancial headquarters in New
York.
The Kennedys m ade SUBJ
stantial improvements in the
property and shortly after they
entered the White House, they
sold the Georgetown home to
the Perry C.. Ausbrooks for
$105,000 as indicated by reve-
nue. stamps on the deed.
Earlier, in 1855, Mr.. Kennedy
purchased a large home in Nc
Lean. Va, from the estate of
Supreme Court Justice Robert
H. Jackson, for SIPS, 900. When
he moved back into town in
1857, Mr.. Kennedy transferred
this property to his fathers

the abandonment of discrim-

exist.

In order to assist the depart

menting this policy, and 10 CO.
ordinate their efforts, I have
established the Preside n t's
Committee on Equal Opportu-

proper nor equitable that
Americans should be denied the
benefits of housing owned by
the Federal Government or
financed through the Federal
assistance on the basis of their
race, color, creed or national
origin.
Our national policy is equal
opportunity for all and the
Federal Government will con-

achieve the realization of this
goal.

kept out Of the hemisphere in
the future, under adequate veri-
fication and safeguards, and If
Cuba is not used for the export
of aggressive Communist pur-
poses, there will be peace in the
Caribbean. And as I said in
September, we shall neither ini-
tiate nor permit aggression in
this hemisphere.
Policy Not Military
We will not, of course, aban-
don the political, economic and
other efforts of this hemi-
sphere to halt subversion from
Cuba, nor our purpose and
hope that the Cuban people
shall some day be truly free.
But these policies are very
different from any intent to
launch a military invasion of
the Island.
In short, the record Of re-
cent weeks shows real progress
and we are hopeful that fur
ther progress can be made.
The completion Of the commit
ment on both sides and the
achievement Of a peaceful So
luton to the Cuban crisis
might well open the door to
the solution of other outstand-
ing problems.
May / add this final thought.
In this week of Thanksgiving,
there is much for which we can
be grateful as we look back to
where We stood only four weeks
ago-the unity of this hemi-
sphere, the support of our allies,
and the calm determination of
the American people.
These qualities may be test
ed many more times in this
decade, but we have increased
reason to be confident that
those qualities will continue to
serve the cause of freedom with
distinction in the years to
come.

Back Into Car
After quite a wait the
President in the windy
weather got back in his car
with Ambassador Galbraith
for what looked like a serious
talk.
A White House spokesman
released a statement on the
trip made by Mrs. Kennedy
on the plane between London
and New York:
This, has been the most
fascinating experience i'm
aginable and I would not
have missed one second of it.
However. it feels unnatural to
me to go on SUCH a long semi
official trip without my hus-
band. I have missed my fam
lily and I have no desire to
be a public personality on my
own. If people were kind to
me it was because I was the
wife of the President-so the
people were showing their
affection for him and he
should have been there to re-
ceive it.
1T was an unusual trip be-
cause it was neither official
nor private. The reason it
happened is because my hus-
band knew how much I had
longed to see India and Pakis-
tan. This was my only
chance, so I am grateful to
him-and to my brother-in-
law-for letting us-two sis
ters-be away from home,
where we belong, for so long.
They were wise because it has
taught us so much. Our lives
and our thoughts will have
been enriched and deepened
by this experience.
I'VE will never forget all
the people who were so kind
to us-but our husbands were
the kindest Of all for letting
us CO."

Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy,
wife of the President, was the
typical American woman last
evening-she kept her hus-
band waiting.
The First Lady arrived at
MATS terminal from her 20
DAY trip to India and PAX
istan and London some 16
minutes late.
The President, beh ewing as
q normal anxious husband,
was early and pacing up and
down the runway at the air
port.
But the scene was some
thing quite different from
that accorded just any wife
returning from a trip abroad.
There were no bands, no
flags, no fanfare. But for
the President, there were
armed Air Force officers and
men; for Mrs. Kennedy, a
small group Of officials, lots
of press members and about
300 spectators.
Mrs. Kennedy flew back to
the United States on a COM
mercial jet plane from Lon
don, where she had spent
three days resting from her
hectic tour Of India and
Pakistan. The Kennedys'
private twin-engine plane,
the Caroline, brought her
down to Washington and the
reunion with her husband.

AS the Caroline, painted
white with its brown and
orange colored stripes, came
to a halt a few feet away
from the presidential limou-
sine, Mr.. Kennedy moved
quickly up the ramp to see
his wife briefly in private.
He stepped into the plane
and moving through several
secret service men, made his
