in NIet-Nam and the continuing
difficulties in Laos, despite the
peace pact signed last week, are
attracting major Western atten-
ton.
But Laos. in itself, is not the
total target. 1t is the wedge
that strategically fragments all of
Southeast Asia to assure, from
the Red standpoint, the eventual
piecemeal capture by subversion
or force of South Viet-Nam, Cam
bodia, Thailand and Burma. 1t
opens the road to Singapore and
control of the vital Straits of
Malacca. 1t points the way to-
ward ultimate control of Indo-
nesia's treasure trove of natural
resources.
EncircIement of Indio
And yet the control of South
east Asia, as important as it is
in itself, is but the thanking ac-
ton of a far vaster operation
that even now is under way-the
enlightenment of the Indian sub
continent. Communism'S master
planners give heavy emphasis to
this populous, large and strate-
gically located area, with its
nations of India and Pakistan.
The Importance of India and
Pakistan becomes evident from
even cursory glance at the map.
The subjugation of India and, if
possible, Pakistan, is necessary to
the eventual elimination of COM
munism's sweep around the Ash
attic periphery of Eurasia. That
area, once the realm of the Brit
ish Raj, is destined to be either
a crucial obstacle or a helpful
stepping-stone in the Red adj
vance toward Suez, the Mediter-
ranean world and Europe.
The persistence of Red pressure
against the ultimate target of In
dia should be more alarming.
Viewed from the standpoint of
the Indian sub continent, the
Southeast Asian Peninsula stands
as a protecting flank against the
Red thrust out of the power-base
of Macs China. Success of Red
aggression in the Southeast Asian
Peninsula would change that area
from a protecting flank to a
springboard for development.
The Afehoniston Route
This penetration fits neatly into
the ruthless conquest of Tibet
which has brought Communist
pressure squarely up against In
dia's border states of Nepal, Sikkim
and Bhutan. Isolated by geography
and long forgotten in much of
Western strategic thought, these
tiny nations today are being in
creasingly threatened from the
north. ....
With the fall of Tibet, the
buffer states assume a strategic
role disproportionately larger

CORREGIDOR. Philippines
After II years of neglect, some
thing is at last being done to
turn Corregidor into a memorial
to the American and Filipino
soldiers who made it famous dur
ing World War II.
, Corregidor, a three-square mile
island Of rock within easy reach
of both shores of Manila Bay,
held out for four months in the
face Of fierce, point-blank jap
anese bomhardment before finally
,surrendering on May 6, 1912.
1t was the last stand of Amer
lean forces in the Philippines, but
it was a glorious one. Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, who escaped from
Corregidor to Australia said:
Through the bloody haze of
its last reverberating shot, I shall
always seem to see a vision of
grim, gaunt, CHASTITY men, still
unafraid."
Today's visitor needs little
imagination to conjure up the
desperate days of 1912. The ply
steal evidence of war is every
where. The only difference is a
jungle of small trees, seeded from
the air after liberation to cover
up Corregidor's scars.
Some Firing Positions
The big guns that kept the
, Japanese at bay and supported
the beleaguered forces at
. Bataan are there, some Of them
still in the last firing positions
fixed by their American crews be-
fore the surrender.
: There are skeletons of large
concrete barracks a mile
long that housed American and
Filipino troops, and the remains
of Gen. MacArthur'S headquarters.
Finally, there is the Malinta
Tunnel. which made the long re-
sistance possible. Here Corregi-
doris defenders hid under a noun
tain of rock while the Japanese
pounded the island: Sixteen
thousand Japanese shells fell on
Corregidor in one day alone.
The tunnel, like the other in
stallations, has hardly been
touched since the war ended. A

against the forces pushing out
ward from the heartland.
If the rim-land is punctured by
the thrust of Sino-Soviet agrees
sion, it will mean the outward
pouring of Red aggression into
the islands, archipelagos and Dor
dering lands of the Pacific and
Indian Ocean area.
Chione Sees Personal Feud
The matter Of Sine Soviet
cooperation requires evaluation.
There has been too much wishful
thinking that the Red Chinese
US.S.R. rift will widen to the
point where it will end Commu-
mist aggression in Asia. That this
would not happen was the essence
of the opinion expressed to this
writer by President Chang Kali
Shek earlier in the year. He said
that the Red Chinese Russian
rift was a personal feud between
Mao and Khrushchev as to Com
munist methods, but not objec-
tives; that it would not disrupt
the basic cooperation between
the Communist parties of the So
Wet Union and Red China nor
would it destroy Chinese-Soviet
cooperation in furthering Red
aggression.

might not choose to use it ar
bitrarily for a time.

But if he does get his hands
around the Vests throat and
chooses to close his grip, then the
West will have to decide urgently
how near to atomic war it is will
ing to so to avoid dealing with
him.
1t is a pity. all agree, that NATO
should be changing commanders
at such a critical moment. Gen.
Lyman Lemnitzer. however well
briefed. cannot be in as good q
position as was Gen. LauriS Nor-
stad to handle a Berlin crisis on
the ground. This fact could have
played a part in Soviet calcula-
tons.
On the diplomatic field, the
West stood remarkably firm here
this week. 1t would have been
easy for one or more of the West
ern partners to have panicked
under the extreme pressure which
Mr.. Gromyko brought to bear.
The British in the past have
sometimes seemed to be softest on
Berlin. Mr.. Gromyko may have
hoped he could drive a wedge into
the Western alliance at its London
pivot.
But no one did weaken. The
British were among the firmest.
The Soviet wave crashed against
the Western seawall and shattered.
Goal EIudes Krushchev
Four years Of effort had not
enabled Mr.. Khrushchev either
to drive the Western presence out
of Berlin or to secure Western
recognition for East Germany.
All he accomplished was to erect
wall to prevent personnel and
ideas from passing between the
two Berlins.
Now he could give his own uni
lateral blessing to the partition
of Germany and of Europe. for
what that was worth; but he
could not, without the very severe
risk Of war-and perhaps not then
extract from the West its con-
sent to that partition.
And that is what the whole
four-year exercise was about.

Memorial for Correqidor
Making Progress at Last

The record of attempts to re-

self.
For many years, starting in
1858, bills were presented to the
United States Congress to ap-
propriate SIS million for a Cor
regidor memorial. The bills never
got through.
The Boil Proposal
Then last March, Undersecre-
tary of State George Ball told the
Philippine government the State
Department had given up hope for
the proposed memorial. Instead
Mr.. Ball proposed a more modest
but no less appropriate memori-
alization of the individuals and
principles tested at Bataan and
Corregidor.
The gist Of the new plan: Clean
up the island; turn the jungle
into a park; restore the historic
installations: build sufficient
roads and provide transportation
and other facilities for visitors.
Forget about a fancy monument.
The response here was mixed.
The Philippine governments Ma

a plan for Corregidor that gen.
orally corresponds to Balls sug-
geStionS- but decided to go it
alone, at least for the time being.
Work has already started at
clearing Corregidor's jungle brush.
The commission has approved
plan calling for expenditure Of
little more than one million dol
lars to cover the basic work of
restoring the island.
All of this money would come
from the Philippine government
and private contributions. The
program would go on regardless
of whether the United States Gov
eminent offered to help or
whether such an offer was &C
cepted by the Philippines.
There is no doubt, however,
that the State Department feels
a Corregidor memorial must be
a joint Americana Filipino effort,
because of the islands significance
to both countries.
But the Philippine government
is tired of waiting.

vowed by the State Department.
Observers noted. however, that the
department was more embar-
raised than angry by Mr.. Deans
remarks.
Kennedy Comments
At his press conference last
week. President Kennedy said Mr..
Deans statement did not reflect
American policy at this time"
He said top officials were study
ing the Vela data and would make
appropriate recommendations.
Mr.. Kennedy originally in
tended to make a decision by the
end of the week, but he and his
advisers wanted to discuss the
matter further this week. A White
House announcement on Friday,
after a top-level meeting, said the
President requested supplement
tai assessments.
These reports - presumably on
diplomatic and military matters
will also be discussed with Mr..
Dean, who was asked by the Pres
ident to return for these policy
talks.
1t was learned last week that
the top policymakers on disarma-
ment feel in no rush to dispose of
more than three years of scien-
tific study that has supported the
control-station policy.
William c. Foster, the director
of the Arms Control and Dis
armament Agency, was called be-
fore two congressional committees
last week to explain the admins
tration'S view.

In an interview on Tuesday, Mr..
Foster said the ARPA report

many scientists who believe the
United States could now propose
abolishing the control-post system

They will argue-aS they have
in the past-that present inStru-
ments are sensitive enough to de-
tect possible explosions from be-
yond Soviet territory. Thus, so
long as on-site inspections can
be made on Soviet territory, the
posts are not necessary.
The policy-makers considered
this approach last week, but ap-
parently will vote against it. They
repeatedly feel such a plan would
be misunderstood by Congress as
a sign of "softness" to the Rus
slams, and might be a bad prece-
dent at a time when the West is
demanding strict inspection over
all phases of disarmament.
Instead, the policy-makers seem
to favor a network of fewer sta
tons, possibly including several
unnamed stations controlled only
by electronic sub-surface instru-
mentS.
Congressional leaders, wary of
any radical shift in policy, have

ment subcommittee, called a press

with considerable interest in Great
Britain. The British generally
have supported more flexible test

KHRUSHCHEV'S PRESTIGE AT STAKE
By WILLIAM r. FRYE
Contributing Writer

GENEVA.-East and West have
just about come to the end of the
line on Berlin.
Nearly four years of spaSmodic
diplomacy, beginning with the
Thanksgiving ultimatum Of 1858
and ending with the Rusk-Gro-
myko talks here this past week,
have provided no solution. 1t now
appears all but certain that Soviet
Premier Nikita KhrushcheV will
attempt to impose one.
This could well produce a major
crisis. 1t will not necessarily do so;
there are safety devices which, if
written into Mr.. KhruShchev's
separate German peace treaty,
could delay and dilute its impact.
Secretary of State Dean RuSk
did what he could here to per-
Suade Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko to adopt such
safeguards. But there is no way of
knowing whether he was success
full. The Russian was noncommit-
tai on the point.
CuriouSly enough, Western
"demonologistS" (expertS on the
Soviet Union) doubt that Mr..
Khrushchev really wants to sign
the treaty. At least, they feel sure
he has mixed feelings on it.
Would Aid UIbricht
The treaty will serve the inter-
eSts of Walter Ulbricht, the Soviet
Premier's East German lackey,
very well. But it will not be an
unmixed blessing for Mr.. KhruSh-
chew.
Unless some very effective safe
guards are provided. it will place
in the hands of an unstable satel-
lite chieftain the power to COM
init the Soviet Union to nuclear
war.
1t will rule out for the indefinite
future any Soviet hope of obtain
ing Western recognition Of East
Germany - recognition which
alone could stabilize the Ulbricht
regime. A Soviet-bloc peace treaty
cannot confer genuine status on
Mr.. Ulbricht.
The treaty, therefore, will post
pone indefinitely any prospect Of
realizing what must have been
RuSSia's principal objective from
the beginning, namely confirma-

save him from this plight, it would
do so. Western diplomats here
were very careful this week not to
make it a shotgun marriage so far
as they were concerned.
They said they assumed he
would. and some Of them tried to
pretend it wouldn't make much
difference. But there were no
thunderbolts hurled from the
West. no ultimatums exchanged
here.
lmpoct Of Failure Softened
This is, for East and West, a
new kind of crisis. 1t is a crisis
played in low key, precisely to try
to drain it Of its most explosive
qualities.
Failure of the Rusk- Gromyko
talks was carefully anticipated in
calculated leaks, so that when it
happened it did not derive added
