The following is q partial
tert of President Kennedy's
HelDs conference yesterday:
President Kennedy3 Good
afternoon. I understand that
part of today's press conference
is being relayed by the Telstar
communications satellite to TV
users across the Atlantic, and
this is another indication of
the extraordinary world in
which we live. i. .. And I think
this understanding which will
inevitably come from speedier
communications is bound to in
crease the well-being and
security of all people. here. and
those across the oceans. So we
are glad to participate in this
operation developed by private
industry. launched by Govern
ment, in admirable co-opera-
ton.
q. Mr.. President, again there
are reports that the Soviet
Union is preparing to sign an
early and separate peace treaty
with East Germany. These re-
ports come at a time when the
Soviet attitude on Berlin seems
to harden and at a time when
Mr.. Rusk's talks with Gromyko
have reached a standStill. Can
you tell us what you know of
Soviet intentions and how you
view the present prospects for
a Berlin settlement?
A. We have made no pro-
gress recently on a Berlin set
tlement. Mr.. RuSk, of course,
will be seeing Mr.. Gromyko
again before he leaves Geneva,
and in fact would stay in Gen.
eva if a useful purpose could
be served. There has been a
strong difference of opinion in
regard to Berlin. its viability
and its guarantees. and we
have not been able to reach
an accord on our very different
and vigorously held positions.
I cannot report progress, and
1t is, Of course, concern to us
all, because as I said from the
beginning when the vital in
terestS Of great countries are.
involved. in one area, in which
there are very varying views, it
is a source Of concern and some
danger to us all. (Here Telstar
began carrying the news con-
ference) We hope that an
accord can be reached. We con-
tinue to try to reach one. But
we have not made progress
recently forward.

Hope Expressed
For End of Tests

@. Mr.. President. the Rus
slams appear to insist on being
the last ones to conduct nu-
clear tests because we were the
first. Would you see any basis
for hope that there could be
an agreement on a test ban
reached after they finished
their next series of tests?
A. The tests that we car
ried out were due to the breach
of the moratorium by the So
Wet Union last fall. We will
have to make an analysis of
their tests to see whether they
present o further risk to our

Medicore Vote

@. Mr.. President, the other
day after the medicare vote,
you said that q handful Of
Democrats voted against you.
There were 81. This prompts
two questions: Wasn't 1t a pretty
big handful, and (b) wouldn't
this tend to inhibit you from
setting this forth as an issue?
A. No. Two-thirds Of the
Democrats voted for it, a third
Of the Democrats voted against
1t. About six-sevenths or seven
eighths Of the Republicans voted
against it. So this combina-
ton Of almost total Republican
opposition with a third Of the
Democrats defeated us by SO
to 48. But the fact Of the
matter Is this administration Is
for medicare and two-thirds Of
the Democrats are for medicare
and seven-eighths Of the Re-
publicans are against 1t. That
seems to be the issue.

security. In this constant pur-
suit, every one desires to be
last. OF course. it increases
the danger for the human
race.
We are very reluctant to
test. We will not test again
unless we are forced to or un-
less our security is threatened
or, because as a result Of new
Soviet tests, we find ourselves
unable to meet our commit
ments to our own people and
those who are allowed with
us. We will, therefore, have to
wait. I am sorry the Soviet
Union is testing. They tested
they broke the agreement and
tested last fall. We tested in
response. Now they carry out
another series of tests, and the
world plunges deeper into un-
certainty.
@. Mr.. President, as a result
Of some of the congressional
action on measures you have
submitted to them, including
the medicare plan in the Sen
ate, some Republicans on the
Hill have suggested that per-
haps this Congress could not
accomplish anything further.
that it might be best to ad-
journ and go home.
Would you go along with
that view, sir?
A. Well, that would be a
disastrous course of action.
There are still most important
measures, which I recognize
a good many Republicans op-
pose-the trade bill, youth en-
ployment and opportunities
bill, aid for higher education,
the U.N. bond issue-these are
merely some of the bills which
are still before the Congress

For example, GA-2-0001 might
become 422-0001 Some telephone

completely because of central Of

When ODD starts, Milford Gus

las, Miami. San Francisco, and
many others.
The United States is divided in
to some one hundred numbering
plan areas. Each has its own three

ed to guide the call to the proper
area. Philadelphia is in the 215
area, Dallas is PA, Miami is 305,

customer wants to call a friend
in San Francisco whose telephone
number is Sutter 1899.
