New Spirit at the White House

right who are provoking fam
lily arguments among the
opposition party are more
political mama. The White
House is making a special
effort to persuade all Demo-
Gratis to stay away from such
associations; it gave the first
hint to Senator Dodd, Con-
necticut Democrat, that he
should retire from the con-
servative rally at Madison
Square Garden in New York
March 7.
1t cannot, of course, con-
troll Gen. Walker. who wants
to be the Democratic Gov
ernor Of Texas. nor Senator
Thurmond Of South Carolina.
But the Southerners allied
with administration policy
seemed not tempted by ex-
tremist applause. The Presi-
dent has been conciliatory to
them personally. and appar-
emily they are grateful.
1t would, for example, once
have seemed hardly believable
that nothing would be heard
from Senator Herman Tai
madge of Georgia for such
long stretches of time, but
so it is. Liberals, in fact,
wonder sometimes what the
secret is and hope they won't
be too unhappy when they
find out.

mains his usual agreeable

as Appointment Secretary
Kenneth O'Donnell are dis
playing long and sometimes
acid memories of what nap

AS a result, some Senators
who thought they enjoyed a
great degree of intimacy with
their former colleague are
being listened to much less

feeling that their efforts to
push the programs are being
noticed more than they had

The President has had

In World War II President
sevelt was not at all
squeamish that our partner

was Soviet Russia, a dictator

clever than the enemy's. He
took an ally where he could
find him. Our policy then
was victory. and we had COM

fields. But since the end Of
the war all our adminiStra-

logical policies Of President
Roosevelt and turned thumbs
down on any ally which does
not have the social re-

they should have.

theories, born of hope, that
the dozen trapped miners, all
of them experienced, might
have made their way to some
abandoned shaft where there
was air and there awaited
rescue. There was an indict-
ment in the faces of the wait
ing women, the wives, some
with small children held in
their arms. Other children
waited with them. They were
all ages. Youngsters of five
and six whimpered with
WEAKNESS. Teen-agers waited
more stolidly. This was a

stories of mine disasters and
OF widows and orphans are
a part of the life of a mine

Every person has expert
enced the retention of some
small incident which lives in
the memory with every de-

us covering the disaster had

on our way back to the mine.

IS. Role in the Wet Nam Affair

When the President was
asked directly at his press
conference yesterday if he felt
that he had told the Ameri-
can people as much as can be
told, he replied as follows:
I'VE have not sent combat
troops there, although the
training missions that we
have there have been in
structed that If they are
fired upon, they are, Of
course, to fire back, to pro-
tect themselves, but we have
not sent combat troops in
the generally understood
sense Of the word.
I'VE have increased our
training mission, and we
have increased our logistics
support, and we are attempt
ing to prevent a Communist
takeover of Wet Nam, which
is in accordance with a
policy which our Govern
ment has followed since 1854
and even before then, as I
have indicated. We are at
tempting to make all of the
information available that
we can consistent with our
security needs in the area"

that the Communists who
are on the ground know
more about what the Ameri-
can troops are doing than is
known inside the United
States.
But when one is all
through explaining our mill
tary position in South Wet
Nam, it appears that there
are no combat troops" in
action but training mis-
sions" of Americans equipped
with guns to fight back if
attacked.

can be sending "logistic sup

Sometimes 1t gets really
difficult to explain to the
people the news Of what our
Government is doing. Often
the facts are Intentionally
suppressed by the Govern
ment itself for security rea-
sons" But more often what
appear to be contradictions
in policy are not explained
at all.
Today the United States
is engaged in an undeclared
war in Southeast Asia. Con-
gress has not authorized mill
tary action Of any kind by
our Army units stationed in
Wet Nam. The explanation
given is that a war officially
isn't a war If the United
States happens to be assist
ing the central government
in a country that has asked
for help.
At his press conference on
February 7. President Ken
nedy had this to say:
"There is a war going on
In South Wet Nam, and I
think there were over 500
killings. (There are)
assassinations and bombings
and the casualties are high.
-. 1t is a subterranean war,
a guerrilla war Of increasing
ferocity.
THE United States :.
has been assisting Wet Nam
economically and also
sent training groups out
there. which have been ex-
panded in recent weeks, as
the attacks on the govern
ment and the people of South
Wet Nam have increased"
This has not been regarded
as an adequate explanation.
1t so happens that an Amer
ican newsman in Saigon, the
capital Of Wet Nam, trying
to get the facts on the
ground. was frustrated in his
attempts to uncover the
truth and sent back this
message to his publication:

Reporters attending Presi-
dent Kennedy'S press confer
ence this week remarked
upon his calm and OCCASION
ally jovial temper. The ques-
tions were fielded, they
thought, with a minimum of
evasion and a kind of out
giving spirit which seemed to
reflect a relaxed frame of
mind.
Senators have noted the
same self-confidence. They
have been seeing a good deal
of the President as he plots
various legislative offensives
on trade. taxes. medical
care for the aged and a De-
partment Of Urban Affairs.
The President is satisfied
that he and his party are on
the right track in such
attacks upon contemporary
problems. He is prepared for
some defeats at the hands of
the coalition of Republicans
and Southern conservatives
in the House, but figures his
issues still will be good cam
paign fodder.

Doom at the Coal Mine Pit

A heavy bodied woman flung
herself out the door. Her
face, dim in the false dawn,
was fixed in rigid lines. She
seemed not to be looking at
any object. She ran across
the broom-Swept, unfenced
yard and suddenly collapsed,
clawing at the dirt with her
fingers.
We ran to her and sought
to lift her up, getting her,
finally, in a sitting position.
They've sealed the mine!"
she cried. "Oh. my Christ!
Oh, my Jesus! They have
sealed the mine!"
This was doom. If any man
still lived deep in that burn
ing mine he now would die.
There would be no more air.
The gases would accumu-
late. At the pits mouth even
pity wept. There were no
words to tell of how the faces
looked, of the women, the
young wives and old, the
mothers and fathers who
wept or sobbed; who sat down
in the dust and beat the
ground with their fists; who
cursed the management, the
coal mines, and life itself.
I remember one miner who
had stayed home on the day
of the disaster because he
had a severe cold. II will
never go into a mine again,
and neither will my boy" he
said. and walked away.
One remembers, wondering
about the huge throng of be-
reft persons who waited at
the German mine.

ROME-The percentage Of
United States expenditure
which goes toward deterring
Communist aggression is
nous. encompassing
everything from a large
standing defense establish
ment to foreign aid and the
Voice of America. Yet the
policies which go along with
this vast expenditure are, to
some, downright puzzling.
If a country has a political
goal directed against an enc
my, the aim would logically
be its attainment through
victory. Our stupendous ex-
penditures are made against
communism. Yet we read
from testimony taken by the
Stennis subcommittee in
vestig a t ing the so-called
muzzling Of the military that
the words enemy" victory"
etc. have been deleted from
speeches made by military
men.
One can gather from
snatches OF information a
possible explanation of our
policy. In "CIA, The Inside
Story" for instance, one
comes across an enlightening
passage. The author quotes
former CIA Director Allen
Dulles:
1--WE support our friends
he always said. DO you sug-
gest that we support our
enemies?'
Dulles critics did not see
things as quite so black and
white. They complained that
it was not enough for a for
eign government or leader
ship to be inimical to the
Kremlin; that government
also should be an advocate
of the necessary social re-
forms that would buttress its
country against Communist
infiltration."
This is the clearest ex-
planation of the United States
foreign policy your reporter

RALPH McGILL

Many men die in a Ger
man coal mine, and a re-
porters's memory stirs. The
news does not-cannot-tell
the human side of such dis
asters. There is no waiting
quite like that outside a
tragedy-hit coal pit. In the
first place, it is so grimy and
shabby. In the second place,
those who wait are poor and
pitiful in their grief. Nothing
recommends it. Far below in
the earth men are dead. But
hope surges that they may
live. Perhaps some managed
to get into a corner of a
shaft where there was a
trickle of water or a flow Of
uncontaminated air.
My first coal mine dis
aster was, like my first
electrocution assignment, the
last. Thereafter I avoided
such assignments. A mine in
lockwood, Tenn, had an ex-
plosion about two miles from
the entrance. After two days
o decision had to be made.
The only way to check the
fire was to seal off the en-
trance so that lack of oxygen
would extinguish the gas and
coal-dust-fed flames.
We stood there at the mine
mouth-waiting. Ropes were
stretched. Wives and sons,
brothers. fathers, mothers
crowded against these bar
riers. Lights flared by night.
BY day one saw only the in
credibly tawdry and CRIME
stained surroundings. A mine
town was not, in those days,
a good thing to see. 1t had
no single attractive feature.
Everything was grit and
black dust. The small at
tempts at flower beds were
overpowered with it.
Rescuers, using the then
new oxygen masks and tanks,
entered the mine. They were
turned back by the fierce
neat. A report struggled in
that a mountain man had
seen smoke coming from a
fisSure in the hills. We found
it. High on a mountain slope,
amid the heavy underground,
a small feather of smoke
curled eerily out of the noun
tain. Far below fire ragged.

those two governments were

Caribbean. Today that area
Is in a precarious way.
In Europe, strongly anti
Communist Spain remains
an important base for Amer
lean air and naval forces.
Yet it is no secret that the
dictatorship Of Franco Is
anathema to a number of
our Government policy-mak-
ers. 1t is true, as the news
paper dispatch says, that
Spain's economy has risen to
stability since we aided the
Franco government In ex-
change for American bases
on Spanish land. And per-
haps the argument that we
can no longer afford to give
that country foreign aid
would have some logic If it
were not announced in the
same breath that we are con-
sidering aid to the Commu-
mist = infiltrated government
of the Congo's Adoula or to
outright Communist govern
ments such as those Of Ghana
and Guinea.
Not by the widest stretch
OF imagination could it be
said that Tito's government
in Yugoslavia practices social
reform. 1t is not against our
policy to give aid to that
country.
Logic and consistency seem
to have no place in the pol
icies emanating from Wash
ington these days. Perhaps
some of the Kennedy policy
advisers are too young to re-
member the Roosevelt logic
take strength where you can
find it, and demand nothing
less than total victory.

Since the foregoing mes
sage appeared in print a few
days ago, President Kennedy
was asked at his press con-
ference this week about
Americas military activities

ferred to this Communist

said the United States had
been supplying "logistic as
sistance, transportation as
SiStance, training" and he
added that 1--WE have a num-
ber of Americans taking part

Mr.. Kennedy went OH to
say that he had discussed the
matter with bipartisan
groups in Congress, that the
whole thing is "a matter CT
great sensitivity," and that
he wished both parties would
leave these matters to be
discussed by responsible lead
ers of both sides"
This was also the Presi-
dents reply to criticism voic-
ed by the Republican Ma
tional Committee, which
charged, in effect, that Mr..
Kennedy had been less than
candid with the American
people as to how deeply the
United States is involved in
