ROME - Those attending
the Council of Ministers of
the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization complain that
even at this late date the
American policymakers look
on NATO as a political
military dependency" of the
United States. The Ameri-
cans listened to what their
European colleagues had to
say with ill-disguised con-
deScension and then at
tempted to force their own
views on them.
Secretary of State Rusk is
regarded as an exception. He
understands the spirit of the
new Europe of 1862 and re-
allies it is not the same
Europe of 1850, when the
only hurdle faced by Commu-
mist expansion was America.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Rusk
appears to the Europeans to
be allowed little initiative or
independence of action by
Washington. Neither does he
have the strong personality
and drive of Dean AcheSon
or John Foster Dulles. APP
parently President Kennedy
does not give him the leeway
Presidents Truman and Eli
senhower gave their Secre-
taries Of State. Hence his ap-
probation that we must now
deal with a new Europe is
frequently lost to the policy
makers in the White House.
The willful and strong
minded Secretary of De-
tense, Robert Mcnamara, is,
according to European lead
ers, the antithesis of Mr..
Rusk. He has established
one-man rule in the Defense
Department, where "he is
telling his advisers what ad-
vice to give" He now wants
to apply the same rule at
the councils he attends in
Europe, as well as in his
dealings with Europeans who
visit Washington on official
business.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Persuasive Powers Fail to Raise
Europe's Conventional Forces Goals

The administrative abilities
Of the Secretary Of Defense
are unquestioned. So are his
powers to convince our Euro
pean allies who do not suffer
from gold outflow to spend
substantial amounts of dol
lars in purchasing American
conventional military equip
ment for their forces.
These qualities Of being
able to squeeze gold from
wherever possible and to ride
roughshod over the military
and civilian personnel of the
Defense Department do not
qualify him in the slightest,
however, to become a mill
tary strategist and tactician.
The fact that he tells the
American generals and ad-
mirals what technical advice
he wants to hear from them
is Americas business. But
when he want to impose his
views of strategy on the
European allies, it becomes q
different matte.
Mr.. Mcnamara is regarded
as one of the main opponents
of the French decision to
create their own limited nu-
clear deterrent. He insists
that the members Of the
grand coalition must build up
their conventional forces to
a considerably greater
strength than they envisage.
Success in his efforts will be
difficult In the face Of the
determined opposition from
De Gaulle, Adenauer and the
lesser members of the coali-
ton.
Europe, which ties its mil
itary strength to its economic
growth, is suffering from a
lack of manpower. Germany
is compelled to import $780,
900 workers from Italy and
Turkey. France. besides hav-
ing absorbed a million Alge-
rian refugees into her econ
omy, is hiring Italians and
Poles for her coal mines.

BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

The National Institutes OF
Health reports it is spending
$2.8 million this year on re-
search related to birth control,
That is about triple the amount
disclosed in a similar survey
in January, 1860.
An analysis of the expendi-
lures. the report said yesterday
reflects the preoccupation of
this agency with basic research
on reproduction rather than
with birth control as SUCH"
"a research program to find
new (birth controD techniques
-. is not an objective toward
which NH has a planned eff
fort" it added.
The report contained no ex-
plicit comment on the possible
need for more research on
birth control - a need which
has been cited by leaders OF
India, Pakistan and other over
populated nations and by GER
tain American officials.
However, it said surveys by
private experts in the field
clearly demonstrate that mod
ern understanding of the de-
tails of the reproductive proc
ess leaves much to be desired"
Differ on Fund Need
DR.. Thomas Kennedy, assist
ant to the director of NH for
scientific and technical infor-
nation, said, 81 would think
there is implicit support for
that view in our report" How
ever, he added, I'VE have no
indications from the normal
scientific channels that there
is need for increased expendi-
lures by NH in this area"
An earlier draft of the re-
port, it was learned, contained
q unanimous recommendation
from a group of outside con-
sultants for a $12 million-a-
year increase In research on
human fertility.
DR.. Kennedy said that rec
ommendation had been elimi-
mated because it was mot ger
name" to the substance of a
report designed primarily as a
photography of current re-
search" for scientists in the
field.
The 127-page volume con-
sists largely Of detailed tables
analysing the area Of research,
the source and amount Of
funds and the scientific per-
sonnet involved in projects
'likely to provide scientific in
formation which may be appli-
cable TO birth control" Its
purpose is TO identify areas of
community of interest and ia
cilitate communication be-
tween scientists"
A Favorable Comment
The report drew favorable
comment from a Roman Cath
Ollie spokesman. who called 1t
an excellent, objective summary
OF the basic research being
done in the biology Of repro
duction.
The Rev. John C. Knott,
director Of the Family Life
Bureau OF the National Cath
ole Welfare Conference. said
in a statement:
1.-THE fact that such infor-
nation could be used for what
we. as Catholics. would con-
slider immoral purposes should
not prevent us from support
ing those seeking the truth.
Rather we, as Catholics, should
positively encourage all efforts
which have as a goal unlocking
natures secrets"
Father Knott said such eff
forts could, in time. benefit
thousands Of possibly sterile
couples and possibly prevent
malformation, Gripping and
retardation OF thousands of
innocent babies"

end. -. . H.. -..
Mr.. Celebrezze's deadline ha:
forced NH to issue the report
in incomplete form, officials
said.
The document released to-
day listed 1872 birth control re-
search projects going forward
in this country and abroad as
of December /. Their cost was
put at a minimum of Sc mil
lion. A supplemental report,
due within six months, may
boost that total 80 per cent,
officials said.
Data Incomplete
Even that would be a con-
siderable understatement of the
real figure, they said. Informa-
ton from foreign countries is
fragmentary. The total reported
for American pharmaceutical
companies-$89, 000-is but a
fraction of the actual amount.
Private sources estimate the
drug firms are spending about
SIS million a year testing and
developing new birth control
techniques. The NH report
noted only that "the commit
ment of funds by industry to
this type of investigation is
large and growing at a rapid
pace"
The listing OF research by
Federal scientific agencies and
the major private foundations
is regarded as up-to-date and
comprehensive. 1t showed ITO
NH projects with a cost for
the current year of $2.8 mil
lion. A comparable survey in
January, 1860, listed Sc NH
projects distinctly relevant" to
birth control. They cost
1915, 900.
DR.. Kennedy said that while
there we're technical differences
in the way the two surveys
were made. there is no mistak-
ing "a rather marked in
crease in NH support for re-
search in this field since the
1860 survey"

announced a Reimbursement of
maintenance dredging to be per-
formed at Manteo (Shallowbag)
Bay. Bids are scheduled to be
opened in Room 308 Custom
house at 2:3O PM, EST, June
81. Bids previously received for
the removal of material in Roa-
noke and Pamlico Sounds at this
project were rejected as being
excessive. The removal of shoals
in Old House Channel, in Pamli-
co Sound, has been added to the
present advertisement. The total
quantity of material to be re-
moved now is estimated at APP
proximately 100000 cubic yards,
including the estimated allow
able overdepth dredging.

are solicited from small busl-
ness concerns only.
