More than 100 Negro and
white ministers from seven
States and the District Of Co.
lumbia yesterday suggested to
President Kennedy a five-point
program to end racial unrest
in Albany. Ga.
The ministers, representing

Maryland. Virginia and Mas
sachusetts.
They forwarded their sug-
gestions to the President
through three emissaries he
named to meet with them or
the White House lawn. Meeting
the group were Burke Marshall
Assistant Attorney General ir
charge Of the civil rights divi-
sion of the Justice Department
Berl Bernhard, staff director
of the Civil Rights Commission
and Lee White, White House
aide on civil rights.
The Rev. George Lawrence
Brooklyn pastor and regiona
representative Of the Southern
Christian Leadership Confer
ence headed by the Rev. Martin
Luther King, jr.. was leader o
the group. Mr.. Lawrence salt
he was disappointed that Pres

with the ministers, but that h
was satisfied with the recep

three emissaries.

NEW SECURITY

The Secret Service put

effect at the White House

All tourists going through
the White House were re-
quired to check their cam

fore entering the White
House itself.
A special trailer was set
up at the White House East
Gate for checking of cam
eras and packages.
In announcing this new
procedure" White House
Press Secretary Pierre Sal
niger did not explain the
reasons for it. Obviously
it was designed to guard
against a possibly pro-
Castro tourist planting a
bomb in the White House
in protest against new
American moves to stop a
Soviet military buildup in
Cuba.

utory National Security Coun-
Gil. BY law, there are just five
members - the President, the
Vice President and the Secre-
taries of State and Defense,
and the director of the Office
of Emergency Planning.
But in practice, all those on
the executive committee named
today, plus many other key Of
ficials, regularly attend NSC
meetings.
Mr.. Salinger said the group
meeting daily with the Pres
ident would review all reports
of activity under the "quaran-
tine" ordered to prevent ship
ment of offensive arms into
Cuba and assess all other de-
velopments relating to the So

block the first three steps in
the 11-nation Security Coun-
Gil. The Afro-Asian bloc is con-
sidered unlikely to vote them
in the 109-nation General As
sembly, where action will be
sought after a Council veto,
probably in about a week.
What the United States can
get, and realistically hopes to
get, sources say, is this:
1. "a platform from which to
explain and justify its decision
to halt foreign ships - includ-
ling Soviet ships = on the high
seas and search them for Of
fensive war material.
Search and seizure is legally
an act of war, and II Soviet
ships resist, the result could
be shooting. The American po-
sition as initial U. N. plaintiff
improves Washington's chances
of escaping blame for such
shooting, sources here say.
Washington has launched an
offensive defense.
Chance to Duck
2. An opportunity for the
Soviet Union to duck out Of a
physical showdown without
unacceptable loss Of face - If
it wants such a chance.
The United States hopes
Russia will waffle" that is,
scream and tear its hair with
out doing anything significant.
The u. N. is a perfect forum
in which to waffle" it is
pointed out.
One of the U. MS principal
functions, Winston Churchill
once said, is to encourage
"jaw-jaw, not war-war."
The world is likely to soon
know whether Moscow will
waffle or act. The Kremlin's
diplomatic counteroffensive is
expected to explode today =
and it is expected to be loud.
Many believe it will include
a U. N. visit by Premier Nikita
Khrushchev.
It is entirely possible, sources
say, that the United States
may want to do a bit of "waf-
fling" itself under some cir
cumstances.
The really critical question,
it is said, is what the United
States will do if Moscow takes
up the challenge in deeds, not
words, (a) arming its mer-
chant ships or conveying them
to Cuba; and (b) moving
against some vulnerable West
ern outpost such as Berlin.
It is here that the greatest
danger of war lies, U. N. peo-
pie believe.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-23

It is hard to believe, in the face
of explicit warnings, that he
did not foresee the conse-
quences of shipping offensive
weapons to Mr.. Castro. 1t is
also hard to believe that the
Russian leader has not pre-
pared his countermeasures to
the blockade, carefully in
advance.
There is q very widespread
conviction here that whatever
happens in Cuba the Soviet
Union cannot afford SO grave
a blow to its prestige without
retaliating with measures
equal drastic somewhere.
The choice. Of course. is a
wide one. Speculation about
where q blow may fall ranges
all way from NATO bases in
Turkey and Italy to South Wet
Nam.
Thoughts on Berlin
It is only natural. however,
that the threat in Berlin is
the one which most keenly
preoccupies Europe today. The
whole concept of the blockade
has such immediate and OBJ
vious implications for the Al
lies position in Berlin that it
is taken as highly wishful
thinking on Secretary Of State
Rusk's part to maintain that
there Is mo connection be-
tween Cuba and Berlin"
1t is here that the risks as
they have been calculated in
Washington seem to be most
perilously balanced today. In
evitably the temptation for
Mr.. Khrushchev to retaliate
against Berlin must be enor-
nous. And on his own calcu-
lation OF the risks depends
quite literally the decision be-
tween war and peace.
