INTEREST, CONFLICT CITED
Astronouts' Inn Stirs Poser

then under construction, these
questions were raised:
Would it be ethical for the
space men to spend Govern
ment per diem for lodging at
their own motel? Would it be
proper for the Space Agency to
use the motel as a focal point
Of activity during the feverish
build-up to a Mercury mission?
When the astronauts' WASH

flict Of interest in the astro-
nauts' tieup with Cape Colony,
he called the questions "pica-
yune."
Inn Offers Best Facilities
1t was understood at the time
that NASA headquarters had
decided to avoid embarrass-
ment by not using the Cape
Colony as press headquarters.
But the present feeling at the
Manned Spacecraft Center here
is that use Of the Cape Colony
can be defended on its merits.
There is no question that
the inn offers the best facili-
ties for a press headquarters.

Chief Threat to Rule

rights guarantees they sus-
pended for 80 days upon seiz-
ing power. The move was cal
culated to add strength to the
claim that the new government
is ruling legally and provision
ally according to the will Of the
people.
Nevertheless, the deep polit-
ical upheaval Peru is expert
encing has affected the tradi-
tional three-day celebration Of
national independence. The
colorful students parade yes
terday and the imposing mill
tary parade tomorrow were
Cancelled to avoid possible dis
turbances. Since no elected
president exists to take the
place Of the Prado, whose six
year term expires today, no
presidential ball is scheduled
in the palace tonight.
No chief executive came for
ward to give the traditional
greeting to a sparse crowd
gathered after mass today in
the central plaza.
The feeling here is that the
psychological timing Of the
coup was perfect. The politi-
clans had completely discred-
tied themselves by the time the
military stepped in to prove
fraud in inconclusive elections
on June 10. After those cleo
tons, three leading presiden-
tial contenders engaged in
complicated maneuvers for
power in the new congress,
which was to elect a new presi-
dent.
These maneuvers occurred
against a backdrop of mill
tary threats against APRA
(American Popular Revolution
airy Alliance)-the mass social
ist party and chief antagonist
of the military-political lead
ers and a demoralized public.
The result today Is almost
complete a vacuum of civilian
political power, which military
rulers are filling. Although
Gen. Perez Godoy and company
have said almost nothing about
social and economic policy
and have stuck to proclaiming
repeatedly that one-year provi-
Sional nature of their power
public support for them has
grown by leaps and bounds.
Main Threat Abroad
The main threat now is not
at home but abroad. Absent
United States Ambassador
Jones Loeb has become the
accepted scapegoat for ell
advised" United States instant
and persistent hostility toward
the new regime. The junta now
is saying publicly what was
whispered here in private for
monthS-that Mr.. Loeb med
died in Peruvian politics by
backing APRA and the United
States now is paying the price
for the miscalculation.
Despite no official word from
Washington, Gen. Perez Godoy
and his LieutenantS remain
calmly convinced the United
States will recognize the new
Peruvian reality" They have
also made 1t patiently clear that

come gradually and perhaps
automatically over the next
few months. But lurking lust
beneath the surface is the
danger Of Peruvian Peronism
which like Gen Juan Peron'S
dictatorship in Argentina allied
nationalism, reStlessneSs of the
underprivileged m asses and
military power against the
ruling oligarehy.
Few informed Peruvians be-,
lieve today that Gen. Perez
Godoy has the political skill
or popular touch of Juan Peron.
To most he is a professional
soldier, acting in the traditional
way Of the Peruvian military to
veto unacceptable politicians.
But these same Peruvians
concede he has shown a sur
prising talent during his brief
time in the presidential palace.
On Friday night, he held his
latest meeting with repre-
sentative workers and poverty
stricken occupants Of Limas
"barriadas," among the worst
slums in Latin America. With
clear emotion on all sides, he
pledged better houses and
schools during his year of
office.
Too Early to Tell
Such pledges are not new in
Latin America. 1t remains to
be seen how they will be carried
out rapidly without alternating
the entrenched wealth. A strong
suspicion already exists here
that the new rulers are more
interested in feathering their
own nests than in promoting
the broad social advance of the.
country.
1t is too early to tell. But it
Is well to recognize that the
faltering strength of the once
powerful APRA and the general
decentralization of the people
present great opportunities for
the new leadership. Peru is
disorganized and confused.
Seen from Peru, the central
issue today is not removing the
military government now firm
ly in power. 1t is how to assure
that this government keeps its
promise to return to democracy
in one year.

President Kennedy appears
likely to win approval Of the
Senate Finance Committee for
sweeping new tariff cutting
powers he seeks In the trade
expansion bill.
But the provision for special
aids to workers and companies
hard-hit by import competition
faces a tough fight and may be
watered down.
This estimate Of the bills
prospects emerged from a check
of the committees II members
yesterday. The group has just
completed the first Of foul
scheduled weeks of public hear
ings on the measure.
One factor making for un-
certainty over the proposal is
the lukewarm attitude toward
it on the part of Chairman
Harry F. Byrd, Democrat OF
Virginia.
Senator Byrd has fought fol
such legislation in the past and
is fond of saying his maiden
Senate speech % years ago was
in support of Cordell Hull'S
reciprocal trade proposal.
But as of now he probably
will vote to strike out or sharply
cut down the trade-adjustment
provision containing grants and
loans for those who can show
they have lost jobs or business
because Of imports.
Reasons for Byrd's Concern
The Virginian said he is con-
cerned about this provision be-
cause he thinks:
/. 1t would set up q double
standard of unemployment
compensation payments, with
workers affected by imports
getting larger checks for q
longer period than those who
lose jobs because Of domestic
factors.
2. 1t could bring renewed
pressure to federalize the I'M

tem-Set Federal standards for
size and duration of payments
which all States would have to

Senator Byrd said also that
many large textile manufacture
ers who originally favored the
bill have now switched, adding
that they advised him they be-
lieve the White House had not
carried out a commitment
made to them.
