policy will be guided by court
rulings. No effort is now con-
templated to desegregate exist
ing housing by executive order.
The planned exemption on
the resale of private homes was
explained by officials as an
effort to ease the administra-
tive burden and to focus en-
forcement efforts on what they
regard as the crucial area
opening new suburban develop
ments and city apartments to
Negroes.
The order generally follows
the recommendations of the
Civil Rights Commission but
stops short in its exclusion of
property financed through con-
venticnal loans from federally
insured banks and savings and
loans.
1t is similar to laws and
ordinances already in effect in
II States and more than 20
cities.
The executive order created a
Presidents Committee on
Equal Opportunity in Housing
to oversee administration of
the anti-bias effort of various
Federal agencies. A member Of
the Executive Office staff will
be named to head the new
committee.

The FBI today arrested Army
Pvt. Edward d. Palmatier, II,
on charges of kidnapping a 19-
year-old Fairfax County girl
who was held captive briefly
Sunday night before she man
aged to escape.
Pvt. Palmatier was arrested
at 5:03 am. as he walked along
a street in downtown Baltimore,
the FBI announced. He was
unarmed and offered no re-
sistance when taken into Gus
tody.
The FBI said he was charged
in a Federal complaint with
kidnapping Miss Barbara Louise
Fitzgerald of $40 Spring drive,
Groveton, and bringing her
from Fairfax County into
Washington.
Miss Fitzgerald escaped un-
harmed from her car while 1t
was stopped for a traffic light
at Aspen and Fourteenth streets
NV, and Pvt. Palmatier,
AWOL from his station at Fort
Belvoir, drove off with the auto
mobile, according to Fairfax
police.
The FBI said its investiga-
ton showed that Pvt. Palmatier
drove to Baltimore Sunday
night and checked in at the
Central YMCA, "a West Frank
lin street, under his right name.
Seeks to Borrow
He remained there Sunday
night, Monday and Monday
night and checked out some
time between 8 am. and 4 pm.
yesterday, the FBI said. The
investigation disclosed that he
returned to the YMCA at about
l am. today and tried unsuc-
cessfully to borrow money.
FBI agents, accompanied by
Baltimore Policeman Francis
Howard, who had seen Pvt.
Palmatier trying to borrow
money. searched the downtown
area for the soldier until the
policeman recognized him on
the street. He was in civilian
clothes.
The FBI reported Pvt. Pal

later today. He was being held
under $4,000 bond.
Pvt. Palmatier abandoned
Miss Fitzgerald's car some
where in Baltimore, apparently
some time yesterday, the FBI
said. He also threw away her
handbag. FBI agents were
searching for the car and hand
bag.
Miss Fitzgerald was seated in
her car in the parking lot at
the Mount Vernon Methodist
Church, 805 Belle View boule-
ward, at about $40 pm. Sunday

refusal to accept inspection.

the expectation that by the
end of the week we ought to
have a clearer idea what the

what assistance they would like

Mr.. Kennedy said last night:
II have heard nothing about
American troops being re-
quested" to aid India in the
war with Communist China.
Mr.. Kennedy observed that
the Chinese had made great
advances in Northeastern In

tunity to Judge what the Chi
neSe cease fire offer meant.
The Harriman-Nitze team is
going to India, the President
indicated, because the admins

said.
The United States, at the

that. "if five years ago we had

James Farmer, national di-
rector Of the Congress Of Racial

plauded the order as a first
STEP"
Some Fear Showdown
Some housing industry spokes-
men expressed fear that the
order would drastically slow
construction of new homes. But
Government officials said their
own surveys of the probable
economic impact of the order
convinced the President it would
have no serious long-range i'll
effects.
Both Gov .Albertus Harrison Of
Virginia and Senator Robert
son, Democrat Of Virginia,
questioned the coilstitutionality
Of the presidential directive.
The order will affect pur-
chase and rental of units built
and financed henceforth in
public housing, with VA, FILA
or Farmers Home AdminiStra-
ton loans, Federally assisted
college housing and housing for
the elderly, structures built
under the Community Facilities
Act and the Capehart housing
for families of military person.

'srnment-owned housing-chief-
" the $4,000 taken over by
the FILA on loan defaults-and
to property built on land
cleared by the slum clearance
and urban renewal programs.
If a complaint of discrimi-
nation is filed against the
builder, developer or operator
of any Of these categories OF
housing, the appropriate Fed
eral agency will investigate.
Cancellation First
The presidential order re-
quires that the matter be set
tied if possible by informal
Cancellation. If that fails, the
financing agreement may be
Cancelled or future Federal as
sistance withheld. Ultimately,
the case may be referred to
the Justice Department for
civil or criminal prosecution.
The stress, however, will be
on prevention of discrimina-
ton, rather than litigation,
Government officials indicated.
So far as existing housing is
concerned, the order directed
Federal officials to "use their
good offices" to promote the
abandonment Of discriminatory
practices" in property built with
Federal assistance.
This action, officials said,
could include the filing of test
suits to determine whether an
anti-discrimination policy may
be implicit in past housing con-

moned the Indian charge

erjee, shortly before issuing the
cease-fire statement.
They also called in the In
donesian and Burmese Ambas-
dadors. This suggested that
these two countries may be ac-
tive in seeking to bring the two
warning powers to the confer
ence table.
u. S. Aid Referred To
The Chinese statement said
the cease fire order was die
tated solely by a desire to bring
about a peaceful settlement of
the dispute which first erupted
in 1857 and involves around
81 900 square miles of noun
famous territory.
But the Chinese limited one
of the reasons may have been
mounting United States mill
tary assistance to India which
might eventually have a de-
cisive effect on the struggle.
Referring to the American
arms aid, the Chinese said:
THE Chinese-Indian bound
airy question Is an issue be-
tween two Asian countries.
China and India should settle
this issue peacefully; they
should not cross swords on ac-
count Of this issue and even
less allow United States imper-

ate border conflict into a war

Third, officials said the de-
tailed regulations, in all proba-
bility, viii provide a blanket
exemption from the anti-bias
order for the resale or rental
of private homes by individual
owners.
In other words. for the fore
seeable future, the private
homeowner can sell his house
even on a VA or FHA-guar-
anteed loan-to the purchaser
of his choice.
Despite these limitations on
the scope of the order. initial
reaction from civil rights groups
was favorable.
Administration officials said
it was based on the inherent
authority of the President to
establish regulations for the
execution of public laws and
was in line with the policy
declarations Of various housing
acts.
Campaign Pledge
The housing bias order was
one Of Mr.. Kennedy's most
often reiterated campaign
pledges. During his 1860 race
for the presidency, he chided
former President Eisenhower
for failing to end discrimination
in this field with a stroke OF
his pen"
Just why Mr.. Kennedy re-
sisted the pressure to sign the
order for 20 months and then
chose yesterday as the appro-
pirate moment remained an Of
ficial mystery.
Asked about it yesterday, the
President said only: II said ]
would issue it at the time when
I thought it was in the public
interest and now is the time. I"
Government officials specu-
lated that the Chief Executive
deliberately sought to make
the housing order appear as nom
political a decision as possible
They noted that he chose to
issue it as far as possible from
the next election day.
Instead of staging a public
ceremony, he signed the order
privately in his office Just be-
fore his press conference last
night. Then he announced II
on a day when the major head
lines were certain to go to the
developments in the Cuban
crisis.
Administration officials view
the new order as the begin
ming of a long and gradual
campaign to remove bias from
the housing field. The objec-
tives of the first order, they
said, we're deliberately limited
in order to gain experience on
which later steps could be
based. t

I'm short, the record of re-

and we are hopeful that fur
Their progress can be made, {"
the President declared.
/ But throughout his press
conference review of Cuban
crisis developments, he made
1t clear in a diplomatic way,
without saying so directly, that
he was not taking MoScow's
word at face value on any,
thing.
He emphasized that ''im-
portant parts" Of the under
standings set forth in an Octo-
Der 27-28 exchange Of letters
between him and Premier
Khrushchev remained to be
carried out.
He referred primarily to Mr..
Khrushchev's agreement to
permit United Nations observa-
ton and supervision to insure
the carrying out of his COM
mittments to remove from
Cuba all weapons systems
cable of offensive use and keep
them out.
Cites Evidence
He did not directly blame
Mr.. Khrushchev for falling
down on his word. He siad
"the Cuban government has
not yet permitted the United
Nations to verify whether all
offensive weapons Lave been
removed" At another point,
the President said Cuban Pre-
mier Castro has not agreed to
on-site inspection.
The evidence to date does
indicate that all known Of
fensive missile sites in Cuba
have been dismantled and the
missiles loaded on Soviet ships,
Mr.. Kennedy said.
Avoiding a flat statement
that all the missiles have been
removed, he put it this way:
Our inspection at sea of
these departing ships has con-
firmed that the number of
missiles reported by the Soviet
Union as having been brought
into Cuba, which closely cor
responded to our own informa-
ton, has now been removed"
He emphasized that the
United States is ready to con-
tinue negotiations to work out
adequate international ar
rangements for inspection and
verification in Cuba.
While carefully avoiding any
direct threat of invasion or
other American military action,
the President made clear in
diplomatic language that there
could be no guarantee against
such action unless and until
adequate international safe
guards are arranged.
IF all offensive weapons are
removed from Cuba and kept
out of the hemisphere in the
future, under adequate verifi-
cation and safeguards, and II

that even if the United States
pledges never to invade Cuba
this would not keep it from
trying to get rid of Mr.. Castro
by other means.
