WyckoH, Hope of the 'Unsophisticoted,'
Called LikobIe, Intelligent, UnworIdIy
ERIC SEVAREID

LOS ANGELES.-Califor-
mia is not a state of mind, as
alleged; it is at least three
states of mind. 1t is a per-
sonality split three ways, like
a rapidly rising investment,
which it also is.
There is the California of
the pleasure seeker, the sun
worshipper, the love goddesses
Of Muscle Beach, the hot
rodders and the strolling
blond with sun glasses and
manicured poodle, pretend
ing that Hollywood still
exists.
There is the California Of
the pure intellect, working at
the highest growing points of
modern thought, trying to
master the Age of Overkill
and represented by the best
laboratories in the world, the
worlds greatest concentra-
ton of Nobel Prize winners,
and by some of the most eff
fectiVe continuing seminars
in the humanitarian studies
this country knows.
And there is the California
of the retired Iowa farmer
and small town banker with
his half-rim eyeglasses and
string tie, of the white Bap-
fist church, the mission So
ciety, of front parlor anti
communism, anti-vivisection-
ism. anti = alcoholism, and
anti odlesSness. This third
California frowns with ex-
IRENE distaste upon the
California of the first part,
and looks with wonder and
fear at the California of the
second part, so busy taking
apart the complicated uni
verse which God put together
in exactly six days of "a
hours each.
This third California also
regards standard California
politics, with it's Nixons and
its Browns, as hopelessly i'm
pure. and so it has put for
ward a third candidate for
Governor, a tall young man
the rest of the country has
not heard about, but a young
man who just might decide
this election and subsequent
national events by pulling in
enough extreme right Repub-
lican votes to guarantee the
defeat of Richard M. Nixon.
Thirty-five-year-old Robert
L. Wyckoff, who practices
medicine, law-and now ora
tory-could win a quarter
votes, and in a condi-
ton where Democratic regis

other hand, has backed away
from the Monroe Doctrine
and has not insisted that all
the Soviet arms be removed
from Cuba. The latest letter
from the Soviet Premier i'm
piled that defensive" arms
supplied by the SovietS would
remain in Cuba. Mr.. Khru-
shchev wrote:
II regard with respect and
trust your statement put for
ward in your message OF
October 81, 1862, that no at
tack will be made on Cuba,
that no invasion will take
place, not only by the U. S. A.
but also by other countries
of the Western Hemisphere,
as your message pointed out.
In view of this, the motives
which prompted us to give
aid of this nature to Cuba
are no longer applicable.
IF we take practical steps,
and announce the disman-
Ting and evacuation of the
said instruments from Cuba,
then, in doing that, we wish
at the same to assure the
Cuban peoples that we are
not divesting ourselves of the
responsibility of granting
help to the Cuban people"
President Kennedy in his
message of Saturday, Octo-
Der 27-of which Mr..
KhruShchev took note in his
reply-had offered this deal
to the Soviet Premier:
"(D You would agree to
remove these weapons sys-
TENS from Cuba under ap-
propriate United Nations OBJ
servation and supervision;
and undertake, with suitable
safeguards, to halt the
further introduction of such
weapons systems into Cuba.
"(2) We, on our part, would
agree-upon the establish
ment of adequate arrange
ments through the United
Nations, to insure the carry
ing out and continuation of
these commitments-(A) to
remove promptly the quar-
antine measures now in eff
feet and OBJ to give, as
surances against an invasion
of Cuba. I am confident that
other nations of the Western
Hemisphere would be pre-
pared to do likewise"
Who has come out with a
net gain? The United States,
in effect, has recognized the
Soviet right to run Cuba and
is not to challenge it by in
vading Cuba, as is required
by an application of the

DAVID LAWRENCE

It's q hollow victory
II, indeed, it turns out to be
o victory at all. It's Nikita
Khrushchev who now is
established as the man in
charge of Cuba. It's he who
is dealing for Cuba with this
country and with the United
Nations. and it is he who will
argue whether certain weap-
ons in Cuba are defensive"
or offensive" It is the Soviet
Premier who shipped the mis-
siles into Cuba in the first
place to threaten the United
States. Yet, when he promises
to withdraw them, President
Kennedy calls this a States
man-like decision"
If q would-be murderer
points a gun at you and then
suddenly decides not to kill
you, does he Immediately be-
come a statesman?
So far as the Monroe Doc
trine and the traditions of
this hemisphere" are con-
cerned, however, even as the
President and Premier
Khrushchev were exchang-
ing subtly phrased notes
about peace" and the pro-
lection Of Cuba against Gin
vasion," agents of the So
Wet government operating
from Cuba werei engaged in
dynamiting four electric
power stations in Venezuela,
and thus was sabotaged a
substantial part of the oil
production of that country.
First reports said it will cost
at least ST. million a day
until repairs can be COM
pleted.
The United States govern
ment, moreover, has sacri-
feed an opportunity to lib
crate the Cuban people. The
Am erican quarantine or
blockade of Cuban ports is
to be dispensed with on the
assurances of Mr.. Khru-
shchev that his Officers" and
instructors" as he describes
them, will change the mis-
sile bases so they will no
longer be Offensive" A
United Nations inspection
team doubtless will take
plenty of time to make sure
it is distinguishing between
the offensive and defensive
character of any military
projects already set up in
Cuba by the Soviets.
For the plain fact is that
Mr.. K brush ch ev has not
agreed to get out of Cuba.

Hollow Victory for U.Sm Cuba

MONROE OOCCTlne ana rs
other American Presidents in
the past have interpreted it.
So Mr.. Khrushchev stays
in Cuba. He says in one of
his two notes that he will
defend Cuba and will inter-
pref the actions of the United
States from time to time in
his own way.
Who built UP the crisis?
Not the United States, but
the Soviet Union. Who took
control of Cuba within the
last year? Not the United
States, but the Soviet Union.
What has each side given up?
The United States withdraws
its fleet and abandons any
thought at present of estab-
fishing by force the right Of
its citizens or those of other
countries to regain their
properties confiscated by
Castro. The Soviet Union,
with its Officers" and Gin
structors," keeps its foothold
in Cuba where, at any mo-
ment, defensive" airplanes
can be launched with nuclear
bombs that could be hidden
inside the island. How can
the United States be abb
solutely sure that what the
SovietS call defensive" sup
plies will not be suddenly
used for offensive" pur-
poses?
So it's hard to tell as yet
who has achieved a victory"
in the controversy over Cuba,
which might have been
averted if the invasion by the
Cuban exiles had been given
air cover by the administra-
ton here in April, 1861.
Now the Cuban exiles are
checkmated. They will not
only be opposed by the Castro
regime-which continues to
be aided by the Soviets-but
by the United States, which
has virtually pledged itself to
see to it that all the coun-
tries of this hemisphere will
refrain from any steps in
volving invasion" This is a
broad enough pledge to stifle
the efforts of any Cuban
exiles to launch an invasion
from any neighboring coun-
tries. In fact, Mr.. Khru-
shchey in his note Of last
Friday made clear that the
pledge of mo invasion"
means to him any operations
both from the territory of
the United States and from
the territory Of other neigh
boring states of Cuba" It's
a sad hour for the people of
Cuba.

But Californians like other

by most standards. He has

couldn't see what was so
terribly wrong with either
idea.
I asked If he thought he

Mr.. Kennedy will not have
the courage to take such a
step unless more resolute
leaders, such as Richard M.
Nixon. prod him.
1t was Mr.. Nixon's oppor-
tunity to recount his own ex-
periences with foreign policy
crises, and he made the most
of it.
He spoke of his intimate
connection with the Eisen-
hover decision to send troops
into Lebanon, a resolute ac-
ton which he said prevented
war in the Near East.
He spoke of two occasions
when, according to his &C
count, firmness by the Eisen-
hover administration kept
the Red Chinese from trying
to capture Quemoy and
MatSu.
In an obvious effort to de-
pict Mr.. Kennedy as a man
who never fully understood
the Importance of Quemoy
and Matsu, Mr.. Nixon spoke
of those who regarded those
islands as only a pair of
rocks.
In this final, stretch drive
to win. the governorship of
California, Mr.. Nixon dis
played himself as a world
leader on intimate terms
with other leaders of both
the free and Communist
world. ...

Again, he pointed to his
world travels, dwelling on the
time a multitude of Polish
people appealed to him to
liberate them.
In all his claims about
world experience, there was
implicit the contention that

just might put a period to the

Trailing a ton of electronic
clutter for the purposes of a

the candidate of the Prohibi-
ton Party (now undergoing a
name change to the American
Party because it will settle
for State liquor stores and
charging the beverage indus
try with the cost of treating
alcoholics, which sounds like
a fair idea).
1t was no surprise to find
that Mr.. Wyckoff is not a
very smart man; but there is
a difference between smart
ness and intelligence and it
was a surprise to find him a
very intelligent man. He is
currently pursuing a doctorate
in medical law at Yale, be-
tween dosing patients and
trotting around to neighbour
hood schools and church
meetings with his campaign
manager" He must have been
born grave of mien and mind;
he looks at one with the
steady, but slightly shy and
soulful gaze of the reformer
who has seen the light, and
the old-fashioned courtliness
of his manner was a positive
refreshment in this era and
region of sloppy, cocky youth.
You can't help but like him
and you can't help but admire
his total integrity, slightly
