Private Industry
Urged to Sponsor
Own Peace Corps

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Oct.
20 (AP) Senator Javits, Re-
publican of New York, today
pressed a proposal for an In
dustrial Peace Corps, financed
by private industry and bust
ness to supplement the overseas
work of the Government
operated Peace Corps.
Under such a program" he
said, "technicians would con-
tinue in the employ of their
private employers.
But their services would be
contributed to a developing
nation without reimbursement
for their compensation, under
the co-ordinating activity Of
the Peace Corps itself which
should administer such a pro
gram, too"
Senator Javits, who is run
ming for reelection, urged tn
plan in a speech prepared TO
the International Club of Har
pur College here.
He said the needs of develop.
ing countries are far greater
than the Peace Corps can sat-
isfy, and added:
with the Peace Corps in
operation as a governmental
effort, and with the need far
outstripping what the Corps
can do, there is an even greater
urgency for a private effort to
implement what could properly
be called an Industrial Corps. +"

international responsibility of
the people of the Socialist
countries" Premier Chou En-
lai, other top party leaders,
generals and marshalS took
part in the Peiping rally.
Crisis Reported
Peiping newspapers today
repeatedly carried stories on
the Soviet-American moves in
the Cuban crisis. The New
China News Agency said the
texts of Mr.. KhruShchev'S
proposal, and Mr.. Kennedy's
reply, for withdrawal of mis-
siles from Turkey and Cuba
were printed. 1t also published
Il in full the White House de-
mand for the dismantling of
offensive weapons in Cuba. AS
a climax to this sequence, it
reported tersely: 1.-THE Soviet
order to diSmantle offensive
weapons in Cuba is reported. "
Despite the Soviet retreat
the controlled press continued
to beat the drums in praise OF
"the struggle of the heroic
Cuban people against United
States war provocations."
All papers wrote of China's
sacred internationalist obliga-
| ton to extend every possible
support and aid to the Cuban
revolution" They printed in
detail Mr.. Castro's reaction to
the Observation-Disclosures ex-
changes and his new demand
that the United States naval
base at Guantanamo be evacu-
ated.
All this seemed to suggest
that the Chinese do not intend
to lose a golden opportunity to
pose as defenders of the Castro
regime at a moment many
Cubans may regard as one OF
Soviet betrayal.

Urges Arms Curbs
Mr.. chairman, both of oar
countries have great unfinished
tasks and I know that your
people as we'll as those of the
United States can ask for noth-
ing better than to pursue them
free from the fear of war,
Modern science and technology
have given us the possibility Of
making labor fruitful beyond
anything that could have been
dreamed a few decades ago.
Iagree with you that we must
devote urgent attention to the
problem of disarmament, as 1T
relates to the whole world and
also to critical areas. Perhaps
now, as we step back from
danger, we can together make
real progress in this vital field.
I think we should give pri-
ority to questions relating to
the proliferation of nuclear
weapons, on earth and in outer
space and to the great effort
for a nuclear test ban.
But we should also work hard
to see if wider measures Of
disarmament can be agreed
and put into operation at an
early date. The United States
Government will be prepared
to discuss these questions urs
gently, and in constructive
spirit, at Geneva or elsewhere!

TOKYO, Oct. 29.-Sovie
Premier KhruShchev'S order to
withdraw his missiles from
Cuba may touch off a new
struggle between the Soviet and
Chinese Communists to win
control of the Cuban revolution
It also could dangerously
heighten the theological quarrel
between Peiping and Moscow.
Mao Tze-tung was one Of the
first to support Fidel Castro's
revolt against Dictator Fulgen-
clio Batista. Peiping called Mr.
CaStro's 1859 victory a defeat
of United States imperialism
in Cuba"
1t seemed apparent during
Mr.. Castro's first year of rule
that Moscow had given Peiping
priority to exploit the Cuban
revolution and to seek to scat
ter its flames in the whole
Caribbean area.
From the beginning, the
Chinese were active with trade
and diplomatic missions which
eliminated in Mr.. Castro'S
severance of relations with the
Chinese Nationalist government
and recognition of Peiping.
The Chinese established
newspapers in Cuba, sent in
news correspondents, drew UP
trade agreements and went tC
work behind the scenes to win
Mr.. Castro's ear. But China's
star waned soon after the abor-
tive Bay of Pigs invasion OF
1861.
Though Mr.. Castro seemed
to prefer working with the
Chinese, he recognized that
Mr.. Khrushchev could give him
something Peiping did not have
economic aid and know-hoW
and, finally, missiles.
From that time on, the Rus

the KhruShchev message had
been sent secretly to Mr.. Ken
nedy in the ordinary diplomatic
way without simultaneous pub
licity in Russia.
Assuming the KhruShcheV
message can be taken at face
value, it tends to confirm these
guidelines of Mr.. Kennedy'S
strategy in the Cuban crisis:
/. The Soviet Premier will
push and probe as far as he
can by any means short of
nuclear war to extend Soviet
power.
2. But he fully realizes that
nuclear war would mean de-
struction of the Soviet Union
and so he sincerely does not
want war with the United

Mr.. Kuznetsov landed at

II would like to use this op.

"At the same time, the So

Mr.. Stevenson saw Mr.. Thant

eral to Mr.. Kennedy. Last

dents reply.
The contents were kept secret.
But after Mr.. Stevenson's Sec
ond call on Mr.. Thant, a United
States source said the central
problem" was that the United
States still had no informa-
ton that Soviet missile bases
in Cuba were being dismantled
as pledged by Mr.. Khrushchev.
The source said the United
States expected prompt action"
from the U. N. Earlier, an
Informed diplomat reported
that Mr.. Stevenson told a meet
ing of allied delegates Satur-
day the United States would
bomb the missile bases unless
their construction stopped soon
and their dismantling was
guaranteed.
Mr.. Stevenson repeatedly said
-four bases for 1,000-mile mis-
siles were finished in Cuba
and seven 2,000-mile missile
bases were still under con-
struction.
The source said the other
delegates favored bombing If
necessary but Mr.. Stevenson
seemed hopeful it would be
made unnecessary by an agree
ment.

ments the President has labeled
false" that the Soviet weapons
in Cuba were purely defensive.
He said the weapons were sta
toned there "for purposes Of
defense"-in order that mo
attack should be made against
Cuba and that no rash action
should be permitted to take
place"
Neither he nor the President
mentioned the fundamental
cause of American concern at
the sudden appearance in Cuba
of Soviet missiles capable OF
carrying nuclear warheads from
1000 to more than 1000 miles
that with such missiles thai
could reach major American
targets in five minutes or so
the Soviets could knock out
much of Americas nucleal
strike capability in a surprist
attack and so be in position tt
"blackmair' this country OF
Berlin and other issues.
There was no disposition her
to belabor the point at thi
stage because Mr.. Khrushchev'
contention that the weapon
were placed in Cuba only to pre-
vent an attack on Cuba alst
helped him explain to his owl
people why he was pulling then
back.
Invasion Guarantee
IT regard with respect anc
trust your statement" he tolc
the President, that no attack
will be made on Cuba-that nc
invasion will take place
Then the motives which
prompted us to give aid of this
nature to Cuba cease. They are
no longer applicable"
Holding out hope for tension
easing steps in other areas, the
Soviet Premier added: IF we
succeed along with you an6
with the aid Of other people Of
good will in liquideting thi:
tense situation, we must also
concern ourselves to see thai
other dangerous conflicts do moi
arise which might lead to 6

slams were in the ascendancy.
Their victory was complete
when Mr.. Castro purged pro-
Chinese elements in the Cuban
Communist Party, a decision
Peiping meekly accepted.
Withdrawal of the Soviet
missiles may re-establish the
situation before the invasion
attempt. The Chinese may now
have a new chance to be heard
Mr.. Mao is not likely to take

step toward a thaw in the colo

Mr.. KhruShchev called Pres
ident Eisenhower a man OF
good will following his 1885
visit to the United States. The
Soviet leader used somewhat
the same phrase in describing
President Kennedy Sunday.
Peiping's View
Peiping's view is that Mr.
Kennedy is a "blood-stainec
murderer" a description otter
used by its propaganda serv-
ices, and that there can be nc
coexistence with the United
States as long as Imperialism
exists.
Mr.. Khrushchev contends
that there must be negotiations
with the West to Stave off a
nuclear war which could de-
stroy the Communist as vel
as the capitalist worlds. Pei

without even waiting for arrival
of the official text of Mr..
Khrushchev's message from
the American Embassy in Mos
COW. He replied on the basis
of an unofficial English trans
lation of the message as broad
cast by Moscow in Russian
because "of the great import
ance I attach to moving

told the Soviet premier.

Moscow Broadcast

Contributing to this belief,
paradoxically, as it may seem,
was the fact that Mr.. Khru-
shchev's message accepting the
Presidents terms was broad
cast to the Russian people over
Moscow radio even before it
was started on its way to Mr..
Kennedy via the American En-
bassy in Moscow.
Such undiplomatic a ction
ordinarily would be taken to
indicate the main objective was
propaganda, throwing doubt on
the serious intent of the Of
ficial message.
But in this case, analysts
here noted, Mr.. KhruShcfteV
was committing the Soviet gov
eminent before the Russian
people to action designed tc
"give confidence to all people
longing for peace"
There was some speculation
that the Khrushchev decision
represented a victory over some
of his Kremlin colleagues more
disposed to risk nuclear war
and that he moved quickly tc
seal the decision by broadcast
ing it to his own people. That
made it more difficult to back
track.
