Cuba as Issue

The Republicans House Con-
gressional Campaign Chairman,
Representative Wilson of Cali
fornia, said the G. o. P. had been
"Cubanized" by the President. His
contention: The G. o. P. had a
burgeoning issue which was
catching on with the voters until
Mr.. Kennedy finally acted.
Associates of the President have
reported that Mr.. Kennedy, who
said he was "heartened" by the
election results, shares this belief.
Certainly, he read the many pub
lie opinion polls which indicated
that the American people favored
strong action on Cuba.
Additionally. he had been trav-
cling the country on the most
strenuous off-year election cam
paign ever conducted by a Presi-
dent and got the same message
first hand. When, as administra-
ton spokesman say, he received
hard" evidence of what some Re-
publicans in Congress were re-
porting weeks before-that the
Russians were installing nuclear
rockets in Cuba-he acted.
What are the implications of
the election in two principal areas
of interest-its likely effect on the
Presidents legislative program in
the upcoming 88th Congress and
on the 1864 presidential cam
paign?
A closer look at the congress
sional and gubernatorial races
may shed some light on these
questions.

Welfare Program

Many independent observers
feel, however, that Kennedy well
fare proposals will still have a
hard time running the gauntlet
of Southern committee chairmen
and the conservative coalition.
The first test will come in the
early days of the 88th Congress,
when the House Rules Commit
tee is organized, The administra-
ton, with the powerful pressure
eXerted by the late Sam Rayburn,
increased the membership of this
group in the last Congress, add
ing liberals in not wholly sue
ceSSful attempt to ease the clear
ance of welfare legislation. There
probably will be a drive by the
conservatives to cut the member
ship back to its original number
in January.
AS for the Senate, the President
had clear pro-administration
working majority in the 87th. al
though he did not get all he
wanted. With an even larger edge
now, he should have no real prob
lem in getting that body to APP
prove most of what he decides
is important.
The brightest spot of the 1862
congressional election picture for
the Republicans was their grow
ing strength in the once Solid
South" The G.. o. P. picked up
new House seats in Florida, Tex
as, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima. They barely missed adding

had predicted a much larger plu-
rality, something between 100000
and 100000. Many independent
observers also thought he would
roll up more votes against his in
effective opponent. One factor
here: The candidate of the new
Conservative Party in New York
drew 10000 votes, most of which
probably would have gone to Gov.
Rockefeller in a two-man con-
test
Despite his less than sensa-
tional showing. the New Yorker
Is still the man to beat for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton. Mr.. Kennedy who has long
rated Gov. Rockefeller as his most
likely and most formidable oppo-
nent. There is no reason to be-
lieve that Tuesdays outcome has
led him to change his mind.
A Kennedy-R Rockefeller battle
could be fascinating one to
watch, pitting two enormously
wealthy men (someone observed
it would be 400 million VS..
a billion"D and two highly Or
ganized personal political armies
against each other.

Political Angles

Politically several factors should
prove important in coming
months. These include:
Q For the first time in history,
the Russians have agreed to some
sort of inspection. The actual
method is far from that proposed
by the United States, but it is at
least a start. 1t may provide the
psychological catalySt necessary
for other types of disarmament
verification.
The Russians, however, were
careful to limit the inspection to
"disarmed" missiles. This was
consistent with their previous
proposals for inspection of arms
destroyed, and not arms remain
ing.
Q Within the Western alliance,
the United States prestige has
scared to new heights. The de-
cision to stand up to the Soviet
Union-and the Soviets retreat
has gained new respect for Wash
ington in NATO capitals. This
should prove important if a crisis
develops in Berlin, and Americas
promises to defend Western Eu-
rope are questioned.

proach to the Cuban situation

CONGRESS

When the 87th Congress adj
journed in September, the party
composition was as follows:
HouSe-262 Democrats, TIA Re-
publicans and one vacancy. Sen
ate-64 Democrats, SO Republi-
cans.
AS result of Tuesdays vote
the new Congress will look like
this; House (down to its normal
ABS after a temporary rise of two
seats to take care of the new
States of Alaska and Hawaii -
$50 Democrats, 176 Republicans.

of Senate races won by Demo-

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
A Victory for Moderation

The Democrats picked up four
Senate seats and lost only four
in the House last Tuesday for a
surprisingly good Off-year cleo
ton performance in congress
sional races. Republicans, how
ever, won most of the big State
gOvernOrshipS contested.
Political party leaders can al
ways find something cheerful in
election returns. Even landslides
can be suffered hopefully.
There was no Landslide in the
United States last Tuesday al
though there was an avalanche
OF votes. More than so million
were cast, a record for an off
year campaign.
When they were counted-in a
few incredibly close races, ballots
are still being counted and re-
counted-the results did give each
party some substantial cause for
rejoicing.
The mocrats, running
against history" upset the tradi-
ton which holds that the party
in power loses strength in Con-
gress in an off-year election.
They gained four seats in the SEN
ate, one or two more than the
experts predicted, and they held
their losses in the House to the
same number, although the esti-
mates were that the Republicans
would gain anywhere from to Is.
The Republicans had expected
to do much better in the con-
gressional races, particularly in
the House, but they continued
making inroads in the solid
South" ...r

Military Situation

This was the situation generally:
Constant aerial checks, REIN
forced by information supplied by
the Soviet government at the U. N.
and by naval look overs" as sea
have led to this conclusion: All the
Soviet miSSileS-believed to num-
Der 42-have been dismantled
from the launching sites, Grated
and put aboard ships. The first
of the ships left Cuba on Thurs
day and the last is believed to be
ready to leave tomorrow.
These missiles, spokesman said,
could have knocked out a large
part of the United States retalia-
tory strike force. This is because
from Cuban bases the missiles
would have been only three min
uteS away from the United States.
The Soviet intercontinental mis-
siles are about 80 minutes away,
giving the United States enough
warning to prepare for an attack.
The withdrawal of the missiles
does not eliminate all threats to
American security, but it restores
the balance of power which
existed prior to their presence.
There was concern in Washing
ton about the continued station
ing of Soviet-built Ilyushin %
medium bombers, capable of drop
ping nuclear bombs on the south
ern part OF the United States.
Both Cuban and Soviet Off
Gals claim they are the property
of Cuba, and thus not part of
the Soviet-American agreement.
The President has promised a
total attack if nuclear weapon
should be dropped in the United
States. Thus, experts feel, there
is little possibility of the Soviet
Union leaving nuclear capability
in Cuban hands.
If the Cubans, however, used
the planes to drop non-atomic
explosives on American soil, this
would be an open invitation for
strong retaliation. Thus, most
observers believe that Mr.. Castro
wants the planes mainly to save
face" He already has large
numbers of jet fighters for de-
fensive purposes, and the bombers
would hardly be necessary.
The United States, however, has
committed its prestige and power
to the planes removal. 1t is I'M
likely that Mr.. Kennedy will back
down from this demand, especially
since the Russians already have
agreed to it. Such a retreat would
be considered a defeat at home.

MRS. Eleanor Roosevelt dled

The United States and the
world lost one of its greatest citi-
zens last week.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, widow

the Nations most colorful Chief

Nixon Race:
The Last?

Former Vice President Nixon
on Tuesday lost his bid to I'M
seat Democratic Gov. Brown in
California.
If one race above all dominated
the public's interest in the 1862
election campaign it was the one
between former Vice President
Nixon and Gov. Edmund (Pat)
Brown for the California governor
ship.
Mr.. Nixon, having lost the presi-
dency to John F. Kennedy in 1860
in one of the closest races in mod
ern times, was fighting to stay
alive politically. He and Gov.
Brown disliked each other in
tenSely and the campaign, which
started last summer, was a donny-
brook of the first order.
Two years ago, MIR. Nixon car
ried California against Mr.. Ken
nedy, overcoming the fact that
the State has a million more
Democrats than Republicans reg
istered. But on Tuesday, facing

and Southern Democrats in the

Despite the fact that the Demo-
cratic margin has been trimmed
in the lower chamber, White
House aides point out that the
party's losses were in the South,
where the G. o. P. picked up four
seats.

Original Pact

AS a result of these "imperfec-
tions"-as one official called them
in the Soviet withdrawal from
Cuba, the United States is hardly
expected to tone down its original
demands. That means it will
refrain from issuing a pledge not
to invade Cuba.
Moreover, until the Red Cross
Is authorized to check Cuba bound
ships for offensive weapons,
there is small likelihood of the
United States dropping its quar-
antine of Cuba. U Thant, U. N.
Secretary General, said yesterday
that he thought the Red Cross
roll would be clarified soon.
The United States and the So
Wet Union had earlier agreed in
principle that the International
Red Cross should check all incom-
ing ships for these weapons. But
Mr.. Castro has objected, and said
that no Cuban ships would submit
to such search.
The agreement, as revealed in
an exchange of notes the week
end of October 1928, called for
Soviet dismantling of weapons the
United States called offensive"
These were missiles and medium
bombers. to be verified by means
of inspection under U. N. control.
Washington, in turn, was then to
promise not to invade Cuba.
These terms might have been
fulfilled if Fidel Castro had not
objected But simultaneous with
the Soviet-American agreement,
Mr.. Castro said he refused U. N.
inspection on his soil. Later, he
said that Cuba had bought the
bombers from the Soviet Union
and thus the Russians could not
dismantle them.
Soviet officials in Washington
and the United Nations privately
criticized Mr.. CaStro'S behaviour.
AnaStas Mikoyan's hurried trip to
Havana undoubtedly was aimed
at perSuaQlng MN TO cnange his
mind. BY the end of the week he
had not yielded an inch. Thus all
inspection of Soviet withdrawal
has had to be done by the United
States through aerial surveillance
and at sea.
American reconnaissance planes
trailed the Soviet missiles from
the launching sites to the ports.
And the naval ships, following
plans agreed upon with the Rus
slams, tracked the Soviet vessels
at sea. An American ship would
pull alongside, send its helicopters
above the Soviet vessel, and de-
tailed photographs would be taken
of the cargo on the decks.
To prove the missiles were
aboard ship, Soviet Seamen would
uncover the tarpaulin exposing

Last Conference

While reporters and Nixon
staffers alike listened in startled
disbelief, the former Vice Presi-
dent said:
You won't have Nixon to kick
around any more, because gentle
men, this is my last press con-
ference

about the impromptu Nixon state
ment was his repeated use of
favorite phrases Of John F. Ken
needy. If he said that the Nation
and California must get going
again" or move forward" once,
he said it half dozen or more
times.
Now that the shock has worn
off, many observers are judging
the Incorporate and impolitic re-
marks as those coming from a
nearly exhausted nan who had
just gone through a traumatic
experience and who had to vent
feelings which had built up TO the
explosion point.

governorship races are still in
doubt-produced the identical di-
vision: "a Democrats, l6 Republi-
cans.
On the basis of pure numbers,
the Democrats did amazingly well,
in the opinion of many observers,
by turning back an expected Re-
publican gain of from 5 to 10
governorships. This is so even
though a bitter. intraparty Schism

carried out part of the bargain
encouraged Washington officials.
The reasoning went like this: Mill
tarily the Russians we're rational.
War over Cuba would have been
suicidal for them as we'll as de-
structive for the United States.
And it meant that politically,
the United States had kept open
means of communication; that in
stead of worsening international
relations, the crisis may open
doors to further agreements.
On balance, the 'imperfectionS"
seem outweighed by the gains.
The partial compliance by the
Russians is more than matched
by the American ability to put
pressure on Cuba whenever it
likes.

THE FOREIGN SCENE
Some Doubts on Cuba
Outweighed by Gains

Checks by Navy ships and
helicOpters have Substantiated
Soviet statements that the 40
odd Russian rockets in Cuba
are being removed by ship.
About 40 Soviet medium bomb
erS, classified by Washington as
offensive" in character, still
remain in Cuba, however.
To most Washington officials
last week the end to the clear
and present danger" in Cuba was
in sight, if not at hand. If all
went as planned-and everything
indicated thiS-all the AZ Soviet
missiles, as we'll as uncounted
trucks, cranes and sun-tanned
technicians were to be on the
high seas by tomorrow.
The first contacts made by in
specting Navy ships with the out
going Soviet vessels on Thursday
and Friday were effective, even
cordial. The Russian Seamen,
with traditional Slavic hospitality,
sent a bottle of vodka to their
American counterparts. The
Americans sent an unnamed gift
in return, and also photographed
what everyone assumes to be the
first of the dismantled missiles.
The denoument of the Cuban
crisis, however, has not been COM
pletely satisfactory to the United
States. There are still about 40
dangerous, but somewhat anti
quated Soviet medium bombers on
Cuban soil. Moreover, the Ken
nedy-Khrushchev agreement on
inspection of the dismantling of
the missile bases, through the
U. NJ. has not been put into effect.
There still remains the possibility
as suggested by Cuban refugees
that the Russians or the Cubans
have secreted some missiles and

His Future

Many observers believe that Mr..
Nixon may be finished as ma
tional political figure; most are
certain that he can no longer be
considered as presidential pos
Sibility.
Mr.. Nixon, himself, in what he
called his last news conference"
seemed to share the above esti-
mates. He said he was turning
over the leadership of the Re
publican Party to others, who
would have to do the necessary
rebuilding if California is to stay
in the G. o. P. column in 1864.
But this was almost expected.
What was not expected at this
meeting with reporters, micro
phones and TV cameras was Mr..
Nixon's sardonic blast at news
papers and political writer's for
what he alleged was bias and mis-
treatment during the campaign.

But the gubernatorial race in
New York, which will still be No.

though California will have a

the attention for those who play
presidential sweepstakes. There
