ROME.-Not Berlin, nor
Katanga, nor the Congo Is
the center of conversation
among diplomats and inter-
nationally-minded observers
in Europe these days. The
main topic is the internal sit
uation in the Soviet Union
and the Russian Chinese dis
sensions which are no longer
considered in European chan
celleries as a lovers quarrel.
The internal troubles of the
Soviet Union are no longer
shrouded in secrecy. Diplo-
matte intelligence through
some Of the satellites as well
as from within Russia indi-
Gates that growing problems
confront the Red dictatorship.
After the death of Lenin there
were continuous internal
struggles although they were
not visible to outsiders. They
became obvious after Stain
got the upper hand, in pub
lie trials or brutal mass re-
preSsions. Even during the
war, when all the Russians
were supposed to be united,
there were major disturb
ances which were little
known to the outside world.
These troubles and dissen-
sionS have increased many
fold in the last 18 months,
according to reliable French
and German intelligence.
There is every indication that
Premier Khrushchev's hold on
the people, which was never
great, has further diminished.
This despite his efforts at
Discrimination and his al

About 600 aides to Senators
and House members, including
a fair sprinkling of Republi-
cans, were briefed for four
hours yesterday by President
Kennedy's cabinet on the ad-
ministration's legislative pro-
gram.
With only a 10-minute break
for complimentary cookies and
coffee, most of the surprisingly
large crowd stayed in the State
Department auditorium to the
end-from Vice President
Johnson's opening greeting to

postal deficit:

Along the way, Secretary Of
the Treasury Dillon told the
congressional assistants there
might be a bit of tax relief in
the 1868 phase of Mr.. Ken
nedy's tax program.
Late this spring or early in
the summer, Mr.. Dillon said,
Mr.. Kennedy will send Con-
greSs proposals for a sweeping
overhaul Of the tax system for
consideration next year. 1t will
include income tax rate re-
ductions and curtailment or
elimination of many exemp-

reform would include a modi-

So far as Capitol old-timers

unprecedented. It was arranged
at Mr.. Kennedy's request by
Lawrence F. O'Brien, special
assistant to the President, in
furtherance of the Kennedy
policy of togetherness with
Congress.

Mr.. Khrushchev has prom
iSed his people more and pro-
duced, In the sense of con-
sumers' goods, less than his
predecessor. The Russian peo-
pie were elated and their ma
tional pride scared with the
launching of the sputniks and
luniks. But this shot in the
arm was caused less by their
understanding of Sovie t
scientific progress than by
propaganda to the effect that
Russia is way ahead of the
Amerikanskis.
But this has now worn off.
The Russian people have been
indoctrinated since Lenin to
direct their prayers "give us
us our daily bread" to the
Kremlin rather than to God,
Who was abolished by decree.
But this prayer is not being
adequately answered. Despite
reams of statistics published
by the Kremlin, it is obvious
that while the industrial
progress in the Soviet Union
has been spectacular, the
Russian people have less to

Ambassador Gavin in Paris Is Louded
For Good Job in q Difficult Post
RALPH McGILL

Information sources on the
continent have twice been
repudiated in recent weeks on
news stories important to
this country. 1t was not true,
as persistently reported, that
an angry Gen. Lucius Clay
was coming home from West
Berlin for a Showdown"
and that he might resign.
Nor was it (nor is it, true,
despite a spate Of rumors in
the news. that Ambassador
James Gavin is to be re-
placed in Paris.
Gen. Gavin, who accepted
the assignment in Paris with
the understanding he would
be allowed to resign when,
and If, conditions stabilized,
has done a more than salts
factory Job for the Nation
and the administration.
There has not been, and is
not, the slightest disposition
to replace him. He will be
urged to stay on when, and
if, he decides he has made
his contribution and is ready
to return to his administra-
tive job with one Of the ma
jor research corporations.
He has not satisfied some
Of the professional diplomats
who find his methods orig
inal and, at times, unique.
The professional lint-and-nit
pickers have said that he
doesn't know French. Th e
facts are that when he first
was asked to accept what is
one of the major diplomatic
posts he and his attractive
young wife began a study of
French. They can carry on
an acceptable conversation
in that language with guests
and friends. Their French,
to be sure, is not yet flaw
less in accent, but it serves.
In important diplomatic con-
ferences and exchanges,
where the nuances of seman-
tics are important, the am
bassador uses an interpreter.

tumn, while a guest at an
embassy luncheon had one
Of his more sentimental ma
tionalistic moments as he
watched Ambassador and
Mrs. Gavin talk easily with
their guests, editors and writ
ers from French publications.
The visiting American felt an
enormous sense Of pride in
looking on. Gen. Gavin be-
gan as an orphan boy in a
West Virginia coal mining
camp. He enlisted in the
army and studied hard and
well enough to pass the en-
trance examinations to West
Point.

resigned during the Eisen-

fense, the late Charles Will
son, who saw no need for re-
search. This was the period
best described by the vul-
carly glib phrase, "a bigger
bang for a buck" The Rus
SLAMS, and the demands Of
threatening brush = fire-type
operations, have since made
it necessary to return to the
Gavin concepts.
Looking at him and Mrs.
Gavin during the luncheon at
the Embassy, the visiting
newspaperman thought to
himself that the orphan boy
from the coal mine camp has
come a long way. and that
maybe he, the visitor, was
watching one Of the best
scenes he would ever view as
an illustration Of what we
so easily call the American
dream.

The same observers also
point to indications, as brought
out in testimony this week by
Columbia Broadcasting System

further improvements, such as
more public affairs and chill

The FEC, which began its in

will hear from two other major
networks-NBC and ABC-in
the next two weeks.
Accelerated by Exposure"
Even CHS president Frank
Stanton said yesterday, when
asked by Chairman Newton N.
Minow Of the FEC, that since
1860 the FCC's inquiry, con-
greSSional hearings and "con-
slant exposure" of television's
problems have accelerated"
the process of Improvement.
Commissioner John S. Cross
said after the close Of CHS
testimony yesterday that he
took in good faith" the net
works statements that since
1860 there has been progress
in cutting down murder and
mayhem" on programs.
Kenneth A. Fox, chief of
FCC's broadcasting bureau
told a reporter that when net
works are forced to explain on
a public record what they are
doing and what they intend to
do, they almost inevitably" put
their programs into better
shape.
Silent ON Direct Control
Neither Chairman Minow nor
other members would say yes
terday whether they thought
direct Government regulation
Of networks is necessary.
The FEC controls network
programming only indirectly by
holding individual stations,
which depend heavily on net
works for programs, responsible
for what they broadcast. It's
control over what programs in
dividual stations develop them
selves also is indirect and the
! commission went to some length
in a 1860 policy statement to
say that it is not interested in
censorship but only in making
broadcasters aware Of their re-
sponsibility to serve the needs
and desires" Of the communi-
ties they serve.
Mr.. Stanton charged yester-
day that the FCC's policy state
ment contained elements OF
censorship" When Commits
sioner Frederick w. Ford ques-
toned Mr.. Stanton about his
statement later in the after
noon, the CHS chief appeared

Their data shows that
women examined for symp-
toms Of uterine cancer and
given q Papanicolaou smear
test could be classified as
either q high or low risk, de-
pending on q number Of con-
siderations.
The study placed in the
high-risk category IA per
cent of all women examined
more than once.
Over q period Of seven and
. half years, this group had
q uterine cancer incidence
rate Of 29.5 per 1000 women,
whereas the women in the
low-risk category had an in
cidence Of only. So per 1000

The report pointed out that
establishing q means Of de-
filming q "high-risk" group
could provide for a major eff
fort to persuade such women
to be examined at least once

"It seems likely that 1t
would not be so difficult to

The Pearls
AP Newsfeatures

Ladies should not bite their
pearls. It's no way to tell
whether they are real or SIM
ulated,
Because jewellers touch
pearls to their teeth, women
have been damaging theirs at
a record rate by chewing on
them, claim alarmed men,
bers of the Cultured Pearl
Association.
Actually the slightest con-
tact with the teeth is enough
to determine whether a gem
is smooth and therefore SIM
ulated, or granny and conse-
quently cultured, they say.
Simulated pearls are usual
ly made of glass bead or
plastic centerS covered with
layers of lustrous substance
of fish scales.
Cultured pearls are devel-
oped by inserting a tiny irri-
tant into the fleshy interior
of an oyster. The oyster
builds a coat around it. Nat
ural pearls are built by the
oyster around a speck of
sand or some other natural
intruder.
The naked eye cannot tell
the difference between the
two kinds of cultured pearls.
Experts rely on x-ray reports.
