CONSTANTINE BROWN
A Portuguese View of u. S.

Salazar administration did
not expect military assistance
from the United States when
Goa was attacked by the In
dians, nor any help in war
materials or transport planes
to strengthen its garriSons in
Angola and Mozambique.
That was not provided for in
the North Atlantic Pact. But
it did expect moral support
in the United Nations, which
the American Government
has come TO regard as a cure
all for such disturbances as
the Indians have been guilty
of.
All they got. dolefully said
a Portuguese high official.
were some friendly editorials
in the American press and a
perfunctory expression of
sorrow from the State De-
partment which was COM
pletely offset by the semi
official visit of Mrs. Kennedy
to India shortly thereafter.
The ambassador Of a
NATO power clarified the
state of mind Of the Portu-
guese by telling your report
er the following incident:
When the Berlin crisis gave
reason for serious concern to
Washington the American
envoy here. Bourke Elbrick,
asked the Portuguese govern
ment what and how much
help it would be able to
provide in the event of a con-
flict. The Portuguese read
the note and replied, Have
you presented similar in
quiries to the governments Cf
Ghana, Mali and Guinea?"
The ambassador was some
what taken aback and re-
piled that these African re-
publicS we're not members of
the NATO.
Well" answered the Por-
tugese. but they are your
newly chosen friends for
whom you go to bat at every
occasion"

Fair Play on Controversial Issues

might decide to prohibit labor
unions from using their dues
in certain political campaigns
and also to prevent officers
Of labor unions from making
speeches in political cam
paigns or from conducting
mail campaigns on public
issues.
Every President of the
United States has a tactical
advantage over his political
adverSaries because the ra-
dio and televiSion networks,
as well as the printed media,
give him space for almost ev-
cry announcement he makes
to the public. Yet during poll
tical campaigns there is a
tendency to draw a line and
require that political broad
casts be paid for. Mr.. Ken
nedy last Saturday night
made another speech in
Madison Square Garden-at
a fund raising affair - in
which he announced, in ef-
feet, that the congressional
campaign of 1862 has al
ready begun. He spoke Of the
coming congressional elec-
ton and appealed for the
support of his audience.
The law covering broad
casts of a political nature
requires that equal time" be
given to opposing candidates.
But who is the opponent Of
a President? He isn't run
ming for Congress this year.
Yet he is in a position to
help elect a party majority.
The opposition gets a chance
now and then to express It
self, but in the past two
weeks former President t
Eisenhower has had two
news conferences-one with
a group of Republicans in
Gettysburg and one in Wash
ington after a meeting with
Republican leaders in Con-
gress, at both Of which he
talked on current issues, in
Guiding Mr.. Kennedy's at
tacks on his administration.
Not one of the three prin-
cipal networks gave him a
half-hour in which to pre-
sent the "other side" Only
the newspapers printed this.

Resentment of Action by Washington
In Recent Incidents Found in Lisbon

LISBON.-"You Americans
are throwing your old and
tried friends overheard on
the chance Of making new,
untried ones" This refrain
has been heard by this re-
porter throughout Western
Europe, but nowhere as loud
ly as in Lisbon.
Not only Portuguese gov
ernment officials. but or
binary citizens such as
professors and lawyers with
whom 1 have come in contact
during a weeks stay here
are bitter over the cavalier
way in which the American
Government has been treat
ing this little country. All
are mindful that Portugal
long has been our friend:
she was our active ally in
World War I, gave us vital
strategic bases in the Azores
during World War II, and
finally has been a staunch
member of the NATO since
its inception. Unlike other
NATO members, especially
the larger countries. Portugal
has had very limited eco
nomic and military assistance.
There was no need for it,
for after the war the econ
omy of Portugal was in fair
shape. In as far as military
assistance was concerned. the
limited amount Lisbon re-
ceived was used to train some
of her forces set aside to
Cooperate with those Of the
other members in the event
of a Soviet march on the
channel.
Yet, ever since the drives
for independence in Africa,
which our administration
supported with the enthusi-
asm of a zealot. Portugal has
had more kicks in the shins
from the United States than
it received throughout its
long history.
The Portuguese govern
ment did not expect Amer
ica's support on every occa-
sion Of crisis because of its
membership in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The realistic Portuguese dip
lomats have been making al
lowances for the fact that in
as far as their overseas ter
ritories Of Angola and Mo-
Zambique are concerned, the
American Government will
have to maintain a reserved
attitude toward Portugal's
rights in those areaS-as it
did when British and French
colonies demanded and OBJ
tanned their often premature
independence.

ment was astounded. how

DAVID LAWRENCE

The American people want
fair play-they like to get
both sides Of controversial
questions. Did the television
= people make a mistake when
the three principal networks
after giving free time to a
speech by President Kennedy
in which he attacked the
American Medical Associa-
tons position on medical
care for the aged"-refused
to let the people hear the
other side unless the ANA
paid for it?
One large station in Bos-
ton even declined to broad
cast the American Medical
Associations reply to the
President. although payment
was offered through the net
work for the use of the sta
tion's facilities. The explana-
ton given was that the sta
ton doesn't sell time to
organizations for the discus
sion of controversial sub
jects. The Presidents speech
from Madison Square Gar
den, however, not only was
controversial but it attacked
the American Medical Asso-
citation specifically. Hence,
the right Of reply was ignored
by a station which is heard
by q large segment of the
population in the. Presidents
home State Of Massachusetts,.
Shouldn't all the networks
have made some provision for
free time so that the Ameri-
can Medical Association could
make its rebuttal Of the
Presidents charge that 1t was
misinforming the public?
This question goes to the
heart of the issue Of fair
play over the country's COM
munications systems.
For, while the Government
should not in any way in
fluence the decisions Of the
television companies, the
public will begin to believe
that fear Of losing their Ii
censes motivateS the broad
casters when they all join in

grieved and offended at the
actions Of Washington in re-
cent times over matters
which did not involve inborn
American principles. For in
stance, there was the deci-
sion Of the State Department
concerning the adventurer,
Capt. Galvao. when he per-
petrated an act of piracy OH
the high seas by hijacking
the Portuguese liner Santa
Maria. According to interna-
tional maritime law he
should have been treated as
a pirate-and the Navy De-
partment so announced when
the news first reached Wash
ington. But this stand was
reversed by the State De-
partment. which decided to
consider Galvao as a politi-
cal rebel against the SalazaI
dictatorship and adopted a
kid gloves" policy.
Then there was the far
more important affair Of the
Portuguese enclaves in In
dia, when the Indian govern
ment became guilty of rank
aggression. Except for ex-
pressing deep sorrow at the
Indian attack-not anger
and indignation-the admin
istration in Washington did
nothing else. A few days
later Ambassador Adlai Ste =
venson at the United Nations

The television stations have
every right to broadcast what

sided presentation. There is
no law which compels any
branch Of the press to present
anything that the editor or
director of a station or a
publication may choose to re-

influence over broadcasting
media or the newspapers is a
violation Of the principles of

The American Medical As
Sociation was lambaSted by
the President of the United
States over three networks
embracing a big percentage
Of their AIS stations. When
the request for equal time
was refused, the American
Medical Association spent
from $4,000 to 100000 to
get time for its own speaker,
DR.. Edward R. Annis, on one
network OF ABOUT 19U SCa-

My "Two-Bits Worth"

So much comment and confusing
statements have appeared, and con-
tinue to appear, using terms such as
Socialists, Communists, Democrats,
Liberals, Republicans, and Reaction
aries, that it has become difficult to
define, or understand what the speak
er, or writer means by the use of any
of the terms and so to help slightly
toward that Qualification I contribute
my own two bits worth" of defini-
tions for a few of the terms.
L. SociaIist-An Individual who be-
Heves that the earth with its natural
resources does (andIor shou1d) belong
to all humans inhabiting it and that
the true purpose of any government is,
and should be to secure to each indi
vidual his just and equitable share of
the results, of the efficient use of those
resources.
2.Communfst-Sociali in too damn
big hurry The principal reason for
the totaIitarian communists attitude,
and advocacy of dictatorship, is his
reluctance to await the evolutionary
mocratic process, and his conviction
that the public, or a majority at any
rate is not competent to govern itself.
(When 1 observe the activities, past
and present of many of the candidates
we have elected to legislatures and
other public offices, / begin to think
that the communists might just pos
sibly have something there.)
