The Courts Ruling
On School Players

@. Mr.. President, in the furor
over the Supreme Courts de-
cision on prayer in the schools,
some members of Congress have
been introducing legislation for
constitutional amendments Spe-
officially to sanction prayer or
religious exercise in the schools.
Can you give us your opinion
of the decision itself, and of
these moves of the Congress to
circumvent it?
A. I haven't seen the meas
ures in the Congress and you
would have to make determi-
nation of what the language
was and what effect it would
have on the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court has made
its judgment, and a good many
people obviously will disagree
with it. Others will agree with
it. But I think that it is i'm
portant for us if we are going
to maintain our constitutional
principle that we support the
Supreme Court decisions, even
when we may not agree with
them.
In addition, we have in this

80 Policy on Islands
Is Still in Effect

q. Mr.. President, in your
campaign for the Presidency
in connection with the offshore
islands-you suggested in ad-
vance of any violent attack in
the area that might be con-
Strued as an attack upon For
mosa and the PeScadores that
we might reduce our commit
ment to Quemoy and Matsuz-
that this was not the appropri-
ate place to draw the line be-
cause the islands were strate-
gically indefensible and un-
necessary. What is your view
now?
A. I think that my statement
represents the view of the
United States Government, and
the view of the United States
Government is regulated by the
resolution which was passed in
by the Congress in 1854. and
which has been interpreted by
President Eisenhower and
again by me.
President Eisenhower, as you
know. had some views about
what should be the extent Of
the commitment Of the Chi
nese Nationalist forces to these
islands and, as a matter of
fact, sent Admiral Radford out
in the mid-'50s to discuss it. I
also made some statements on
my views on the matter in
1854 when the treaty came up,
as you well know. But the fact
Of the matter is, I also said in
the fall Of 1860 that there
should be no withdrawal from
these islands under the point
Of a gun, and that the matter
Of these islands-that the
President must make a judg-
ment based on the resolution
of the Congress that the action
that he will take will depend
upon his Judgment as to the
effect Of any action which the
Chinese Communists might
take on Formosa and the Pes
cadores.
Now, that is what my state
ment says. We stand on the
traditional policy which has
been approved since 1854.

Policy Is Defensive

@. Mr.. President, in connec-
ton with your China state
ment. would you say. sir, what
the position of the United
States would be toward a re-
turn to the mainland by Chi
nese Nationalist forces? There
have been reports recently that,
from Taiwan, that the time
may be approaching for such
a move.
A. 1t seems to me that the
statement indicates the view
that I wish to express today. ]
think the statement, the con-
clusion emphasized the defen-
sive nature of our arrange
ments there. That was true in
1855. Gen. Eisenhower made
that clear, I think, in a letter
to Senator Green in 1858.
have made it clear today that
our arrangements in this area

ticipate in the development Of
a national deterrent. We believe
that is inimical to the COM
munity interest Of the Atlantic
alliance - that it encourages
other countries to do the same.
Now France is determined to
do so, she is going to do so. But
I think that France, to associ-
ate with that effort, to aSSoci-
ate with additional independ-
ent national nuclear deter
rents, to play our part In
its development would be a
mistake, both from the point
of view Of the United States,
the Atlantic Community and
peace. because other countries
will be compelled to do the
same.
In my Judgment, the NATO
alliance and the steps we have
taken to implement the NATO
alliance give adequate security
to the security Of France. I
think we should stay with that.
The French do not agree. They
are going ahead. We accept
that. But we do not agree
with it.

month ago now explaining your
new trade expansion bill. I was
impressed with your emphasis
on the need for the European
nations to take over more of
their own defense. My ques-
tons are two:
Does this mean that you
would like to See a gradual
withdrawal of United States
troops from Europe; and, two,
are you also considering send
ing men to Europe on short
ened tours Of, say, one year,
without their families?
A. Well, I would hope that
we could withdraw or lessen the
number of forces at some time,
certainly not under the present
conditions, until we have a
clear indication Of what the
future is going to be in Berlin.
Quite the reverSe-as you know,
we have in the last IL months
strengthened our forces in Ber-
lin and we have expressed our
hope that other members of
NATO would strengthen theirs.
The United States has six di-
visions in Western Germany.
Other members Of NATO have
substantially less, with the ex-
ception of the West German
government itself. would hope
that they strengthen their
forces. They represent a large
geographic area with ever in
creaSing wealth. The United
States cannot sustain this bur-
den of maintaining the atomic
deterrent-maintaining the sea
strength we do, our ground
commitments all around the
globe-and still maintain such
a large force in Western Ger
many. But we shall continue to
do so as long as it contributes
to the security of Western Ger
many and the maintenance of
our commitments.
With regard to your second
question, that is not q matter
before us at the present time.
At the present time, we are
planning to continue the tours

@. Mr.. President, Secretary

his rounds Of the Western Eu-
ropean capitals. I wonder if
you can give US an evaluation
of his trip. with particular re-
ference to whether this Govern
ment has now accept e d
Frances determination to build
its own nuclear power, and
whether we will seek to CO.
ordinate and integrate that
power into the NATO system.

mination to do so. What we

More Support
Needed on Program


generally about your legislative
program. do you feel that 1t
senses the proper degree of
support from the Democratic
majorities in the House and
Senate?
A. No, we haven't gotten the
legislative program. I don't
think we ought to go home un-
til we get a good deal more of
it by. I think that is the wishes
of the majority. We should
realize that some Democrats
have voted with the Repubh-
cans for 25 years, really since
1898, and that makes it very
difficult to secure the enact
ment Of any controversial leg
islation. You can water bills
down and get them by. or you
can have bills which have no
particular controversy to them
and get them by. But impor-
tant legislation-medical care
for the aged and these other
bills. farm programs-they are
controversial, they involve great
interest. and they are much
more difficult.
:. That is why this election
in November is an important
one, because If we can gain
some more seats, we will have
a workable majority, and if we
don't. then Of course we will
not. So that I am concerned
about what progress we make.
There is no sense in the Con-
greSs going home without TAX
ing action on a whole variety
Of steps which will strengthen
our country and our economy.
On the farm bill, when we
got defeated. as you know, by a
close vote, there were powerful
Interests against it. In the
first place, there was the unan-
imous opposition, with the
exception of one Congressman,
Of the Republicans. Then in
addition there was the opposi-
ton Of those who store sur
pluses. They like to have addi-
Itional surpluSes built up. There
are SO billion Of them now, but
they want more because they
make money out Of them. Then
there were those who want
cheap feed. and they want
the more surpluses there are.
the cheaper the feed is. So that
those who feed livestock, they
did not want it.
These there are other parts
Of the country who want to
plant corn, and who figure that
If there are restraints on pro-
duction, they won't be able to
plant it. So there are powerful
interests built up.
Now, what is interesting, If
I may conclude, is that there
was support indicated after our
bill was defeated for the emer-
gency feed grain bill. The Re-
publicans now indicate they
will support it. Yet last year
when that bill was up. all but
four or five voted against it. -.
So that I think the Demo-
Gratis have to do better, and I
hope that some Republicans
will support us. and we support
ed President Eisenhower in i'm
portant matters, and I would
hope some Republicans will
support US on the trade bill
which is vital, and on similar
issues as they come along.

GIs in ThoiIond Poised
To Hit Wet Nam Reds

rightist faction Of the coalition
in Laos still has control in the
panhandle Of Laos, there are
American military teams, either
special forces or advisers.
Laos has been described as q
dagger pointed at Southeast
ASia's heartland. The eastern
half Of that dagger, split the
long way from north to south,
has been in Communist hands
for . year or more. . con-
venient highway for Red aid to
the Wet Cong. Until that aid
is cut off, many American mill
tary men acknowledge privately
that winning the guerrilla war
against communism in South
Wet Nam will be almost i'm
possible.
President Kennedy is thus
approaching the South Wet
Nam guerrilla war from the
direction Of Thailand, speak
ing softly but keeping q stick
in reach If needed.
In this connection, tits sig
nificant that American Army
engineers are building a mod
ern, all-weather road link from
ThaiIand's beaches south of
Bangkok, bypasSing the clogged
Bangkok traffic complex.
Step in LOgistics Plan
This could be the first step
in a roadbuilding program to
give the United States a log
istics system to fee whatever
kind of operation might be
necessary in Eastern ThaiIand
or Southern Laos. Other road
links would have to be built in
Thailand's patchwork upcoun-
try system.
The Army engineers are not
merely advising the That's in
road construction. They have
been building the road at full
speed since last February, an
other indication Of how long
the United States has been pre-
pairing for the move into Thai
land.
With this background, the
announcement some months ago
that the Army abroad would
help in foreign aid projects
overseas appears in a new light.
All this must be quite clear
to Soviet Premier Khrushchev,
who reads this kind Of sobering
message with greater COM
prehension than diplomatic
notes or exchanges Of letters.
The United States is proving
here it is serious about stopping
communism in Southeast Asia.

Here is a partial teTt of
President Kennedy's netDs
conference yesterday:
The President: Good after
noon. I have two statements.
The situation in the area of
The Taiwan Straits is a matter
of serious concern to this Gov
eHnent. The very large move
ihents Of Chinese Communist
forces into this area have tax
en- place. The purpose of these
moves is not clear. 1t seems i'm
portant in these circumstances
that the position of the United
States Government be clearly
understood.
Our basic position has al
eays been that we are opposed
to the use of force in this area.
In the earlier years, President
Eisenhower made repeated ef-
forts to secure the agreement
or Communist China to the
Mutual remuneration of the use
Of force in the Taiwan area,
and our support for this policy
continues.
Ore possibility is that there
might be aggressive action
against the offshore islands OF
Matsu and Qnemoy. In that
event, the policy of this coun-
try will be that established
seven years ago under the For
mosa resolution. The United
States will take the action
necessary to assure the defense
of FormoSa and the Pescadores
In the last crisis in the Taiwar
area in 1858, President Eisen-
hover made it clear that the
United States would not re-
main inactive in the, face oi
any aggressive action against
the offshore islands which
might threaten Formosa.

BAN KOK, Thailand.-
American troops in Thailand
have at least as much to do
with the guerrilla war in South
Wet Nam as they do with
defending Thailand.
President Kennedy has
strongly emphasized the troops

Last Of q Series.

role in defense of Thailand,
but has not excluded their
possible usefulness in damping
the Communist Wet Cong Of
fensive in South Wet Nam.
When the United States
forces rushed into Thailand
they did not take positions
opposite the most heavily
threatened area Of either Thai
land or LaoS-in the north
west where Bon Houie Sal was
thought to be falling into Red
hands. This they left to the
Thai army to defend.
United States troops went
instead to the eastern part Of
Thailand, the Marines to Udorn
in the northeast, and the 9th
Infantry to Korat, in the CEN
tral east.
The Marines may yet move
farther east, into the corner
Of Thailand opposite Thakhek.
The 9th Infantry Wolfhounds
eventually may go to Ubon.
Thailand repeatedly refused
an American request to go to
Ubon at the outset, possibly
because the move would have
been closely associated with
the VietnameSe guerrilla war.
At Ubon, instead Of a battle
group, the United States has
set up a radar station and mil
itary advisory mission and Aus
tralia has stationed a squadron
of fighters at the airstrip.
Reds Supply Route
The effect of all these mill
tary moves looking east is to
lean heavily, as the generals
say, on the Laos panhandle
and northeastern Laos. 1t is,
Of course, through eastern Laos,
held by Communist Pathet Lao
and Wet Mimi, that the Ho
Chi Mimi trail and the Soviet
airlift send Communist forces
and equipment into South Wet
Nam.
American Marines, with hell
copters and air support at the
ready, are now in bases from
which they could cut the Ho
Chi Mini trail well above the
18th parallel dividing North
and South Wet Nam.
American radar presumably
now watches the landings and
takeoffs of Soviet cargo planes
at Tchepone, which the Pathet
Lao grabbed in May, 1861, be-
fore accepting the cease fire
the first time.
The radar can presumably
also see Soviet planes making
drops of equipment in the
southern tip of the panhandle
at Attopeu, where the airstrip
is too small for the Soviet
equivalent of the CAT to land.
In an emergency, Ubon can
provide an alternate landing
strip for Straying American or
South Wet Namese helicopters
or other Western aircraft in
volved in the South Wet Nam
war. Listening posts for moni-
toring Soviet, Pathet Lao and
Wet Mini radio communica-
tions can be set up with less
fear of capture.
Accessible to Special Forces
American special forces
across the border in Laos also
are more accessible to the Ubon
installation. Wherever the

dent Eisenhower's position on
this matter.
Under this policy, sustained
continuously by the United
States Government since 1854,
it is clear that any threat to
the offshore islands must be
judged in relation to its wider
meaning for the safety Of For
mosa and the peace of the area.
Exactly what action would
be necessary in the event of
any such act Of force would de-
pend on the situation as it
developed. But there must be
no doubt that our policy spe-
officially including our readi-
ness to take necessary action
in the face of force, remains
just what it has been on this
matter since 1855. It is i'm
portant to have it understood
that on this point the United
States speaks with one voice.
But I repeat that the purposes
of the United States in this
area are peaceful and defensive.
AS Secretary Dulles said in
1855, and I quote, "The treaty
arrangements which we have
with the Republic of China
makes it quite clear that it is
in our mutual contemplation
that force shall not be used.
The whole character of that
treaty is defensive" unquote.
This continues to be the
character of our whole policy
in this area now.
Urges Trade Bill Passage
Secondly, I want to empha-
size once again how deeply I
am convinced that the passage
this year Of the trade expan-
sion bill on which one house
will vote tomorrow is vital to
the future Of this country. To
re-commit this bill back to the
committee is to defeat it. To
extend it for one year is to
defeat the purpose because we
have exhausted the powers
given under the previous-un-
der the present-law. All its
