Kennedy, Citing Need,
Signs job raining Act

President Kennedy hailed the
''Manpower Development and
Training Act" as a Significant
contribution" to a strong and
flexible national economy as he
signed the measure into law
today.
At a signing ceremony in his
office, Mr.. Kennedy said the
law passed by Congress Tues
day sis perhaps the most sig
nificant legislation in the area
of employment since the his
toric Employment Act of 1916" "
The President said the
measure makes possible "the
training of the hundreds OF
thousands of workers who are
denied employment because
they do not possess the skills
required by our constantly
changing economy"
Mr.. Kennedy said unem-
ployed workers eligible under
the program can expect:
/. Up to So weeks of train
ing in a skill needed to gain
employment.
2. Adequate allowances for
heads of families to enable
them to support their families
and devote full attention to the
task of acquiring new skills.

Summit Conditions

Question: Mr.. President, you
have said that you would go to
a summit conference at Geneva
to ratify agreements, and you
also said that you might go to
help resolve disagreementS. Un-
der what circumstances would
you not go to a summit con-
ference at Geneva this spring?
A. Well, I am not sure that
the description you have given
of my position is precisely the
one that I have given. I stated
that I would go there to ratify
an agreement, that I would go
there if we were on a brink Of
a war or a serious international
crisis, where my presence would
make a significant difference.
I would add a third one: I
would go if I thought it was
in our national interest.
Now we have to make
a judgment whether any of
those three conditions have
been met before I would go . {.
Il do not intend to go unless
there is a situation developed
which I believe would make
such a trip fruitful and reward

Wheat to Red China

@. Mr.. President, there have
been reports that the United
States Government has been
considering an application to
export from $75 millions to $100
millions worth of wheat per
year to Communist China over
the next three years. Could you
say if there is any bona fide
request from the Chinese for
such an export of wheat, and
if so what do you think about
it?
A. No, have heard of no
requests from them for wheat
There have been two compan-
les in the United States which
have put in a request for a
license. One was the Interna-
tional Trading Co., I believe
of Seattle, and one other
company which had put in
requests for the right to export
wheat to China, but there is
no information that they are
working on an assignment OF

Won't Take Part
In Campaign

@. Mr.. President, we had the
announcement this morning of
a new Democratic candidate
for the Senate in Massachu-
sets, a young man I believe
you are familiar with. I Won
der first if you could tell us
whether or not you advised
him for or against his de-
cision, and whether you ap-
prove it, and two, aware of his
stated preference that you not
get involved in his campaign
and your strong Endorsement
last week of Senator Smathers
of Florida, what the guideline
is for your participation in
party contests.
A. Yes. Well, in part, I am
aware of the campaign. I think
my brother stated, and think
Mr.. Salinger stated earlier to-
day that he was running, seek
ing the Democratic nomina-
ton. This is a judgment for
the people of Massachusetts,. I
will not take part in that cam
paign, except I will go to vote
in the primary in September
But my brother is carrying this
campaign on his own and will
conduct it in that way.
Now, in regard to Senator
Smathers, Senator Smathers is
an incumbent Senator, and !
would think-I was hoping
he would get elected. Congress-
man Fascell is the incumbent
Congressman. Both, as a mat
ter of fact, have been active in
the Democratic Party and were
active in my campaign. I was
delighted to indorse him. But

Detection of Tests
More Important

@. Mr.. President, there have
been reports that some West
ern officials at the disarma-
ment meeting at Geneva have
expressed doubt that any sys-
tenn of inspection and control,
no matter how rigid or COM
prehensive, could possibly either
prevent or detect secret prep
arations for nuclear weapons
tests in an area as large as
the Soviet Union. Would you
give us your view on that?
A. Obviously, l think that we
could develop system which
would predict or which would
detect significant tests which
could lead to significant results
with an effective inspection
system. AS to preparations, of
course. there is no guarantee,
because preparations are an
other matter. .. We could also
and will suggest some proposals
to at least make it more diff
cult to prepare or make prep
arations but I have never sug-
gested that we could develop a
foolproof system on prepara-
tions, and I don't regard that
as significant as being able tc
detect the tests themselves, be-
cause once-preparations are
only important if they lead tc
tests, and once the tests come
then if the system is satisfac-
tory, we receive a notification
and could take action ourselves
There would be a time loss, but
it would not be as important 6
thing as to have some ability
to detect the preparations ano
also a very effective ability tt
detect the tests themselves.

NucIeor Tests
VS.. Preparations
@. Mr., President, last mo

@. Mr.. President. last month
you seemed to lay great
emphasis upon the necessity for
inspection against preparations,
and I understood you to say
just now that you thought that
the detection of tests them
selves was more important than
the inspection against prepa-
rations.
A. That is correct, I said that
because quite obviously you
could prepare for years and
have no tests. So the tests
themselves which carry out the
results-the inspections. of
course, are a matter of par
ticular significance. because
you could be preparing indefi-
nitely. That is not to say that
Evening star., 1962-03-15

it, as said, more-it presents
additional hazards in securing
a satisfactory accord.
If the Soviet Union desires
to have this matter settled
peacefully. it would seem to me
that all sides, both sides, should
bend every effort during these
days, particularly during the
time Of the Geneva disarma-
ment conference, to avoid Incl
dents that are liable to lead to
a ctions and counteractions
which can only intensity the
danger. But we are waiting
to see what effect the repre-
Sentations of the two secretaries
have had on the Soviet Union
in regard to the chaff which
is a particularly dangerous kind
of action.

Teddy is running, as he stated,
on his own,
Question: Mr.. President, some
of the economy experts on the
Hill have indicated they are
going to take an ak to your re-
quest for foreign aid funds.
Could you tell us what any
sizable cut might mean to your
plans and program
Answer: Well, know foreign
aid is always open season on
it. but l must say if anybody
will look at a map of
our obligations in Europe and
NATO, the assistance which we
have committed ourselves to-,
and the Importance of the
countries, countries like Greece,
Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, the
Importance of India being able
to maintain a viable economy,
our commitments to Thailand,
Wet Nam, the Republic of
China, South Korea, Africa,
itself, and now with the great
commitments to Latin America
and the Alliance for Progress,
it seems to me that it would
be extremely unWise not to
give us the resources to assist
these countries to maintain
their independence. We spend
$51 billion odd on defense
alone as we'll as other billions
for the Atomic Energy Com
missions work and so forth
Here are these countries which
are right in the line Of fire
which are dependent upon us
for assistance, and we are un-
willing, in other words, to give
them the help In fact
those it seems who at some
occasions want to put the az
| to foreign aid hardest are the
ones that make the most Wig
orous speeches against com.
munism, and call for a. policy
of victory.
In my opinion the fight l:
being fought in towns and cite:
and states all around the world
and I believe this program /!
Just as important as our ma
tional defense. Over half OF i
is directly tied to arms assist
ance, which means that il
represents an additional ap'
preparation, in a sense, for the
Pentagon, and I would think i
would be the most unwise ac'
possible to cut our assistance
program.
But 1 am interested, and
think we should carry it on
and it has been supported b!
people of both parties as a bi
partisan issue and am hopeful
that the Congress will recognize
how vital this program is II
our security.

On Use of Troops

@. Mr.. President, would you
go to Congress for approval
before committing combat
troops in Wet Nam or else
where?
A. AS you know, there
are a good many Americans
who are now there, who have
not. as I said before in a press
conference, fallen under a
description which is generally
used in combat troops. I have
described what their mission
is and what instructions they
are operating under. If there
is a basic change in that situa-
ton in Viet-Nam which called
for a constitutional decision, of

dangerous game in the Berlin

any countermeasures discour-
aging them from carrying their
harassment further?
A. Obviously, the h arass-
ment makes it more difficult to

been the subject of very vigor-
Gus representations by Secre-
tary Rusk and by Lord Home
at Geneva. Obviously, it makes
Evening star., 1962-03-15

Here is a partial text of
President Kennedy's news con-
ference yesterday:
The President; We have a
letter which we are releasing,
which is to Secretary Rusk.
and l will read the most signif-
icant paragraph with regard
to the opening of the disarma-
ment conference and the
American policy there. 1t says:
my earnest hope is that no
effort will be spared to define
areas of agreement on all of
the three important levels to
which Prime Minister Macmil-
Ian and 1 referred in our joint
letter of February to Premier
KhruShchev.
Building upon the principles
already agreed, I hope that
you will quickly be able to re-
port agreement on an outline
defining the overall shape of a
program for general and COM
plete disarmament in a peace
full world. l have submitted
such an outline on behalf of
the United States to the United
Nations General Assembly last
September, but an outline is
not enough. You should seek
as we'll, as areas of agreement
emerge, a definition in specific
terms as set forth in the out
line. Such objectives should be
to define in treaty terms the
widest area of agreement that
can be implemented at the
earliest possible moment while
still continuing your maximum
efforts to achieve agreement
on those other aspects which
present more difficulty.
LAS a third specific objective.
you should seek to isolate and
identify initial measures of dis
armament which could if put
into effect without delay, ma
terially improve international
security and the prospects for
further disarmament Drop-
gress. In this category you
should seek as a matter of high
priority agreement on a safe
guarded nuclear test ban. At
this junction in history, no
single measure in the field of
disarmament would be more
productive of concrete benefit
in the alleviation of tensions
and the enactment of prospects
for greater progress.

up with them. Would you care
to comment on this matter?
A. Well, in the first place, I
have not seen authoritative
reports which state as a result
of their recent tests they have
developed an anti-miSsile sys-
tenn the second point {.
I am not convinced, nor have
1 known of any one else, that
they have provided a break
through in this very compli-
Gated area of the anti-missile
missile, and l think Mr.. Nc
Namara has expressed some
views on the difficulty of de-
veloping an anti-m1ssile system.
And the third point is that .

A-Test Ban Treaty

@. Mr.. President, there is a
school of thought which bel
ieves that we should include in
any nuclear test ban treaty a
provision which would permit
us to conclude our scheduled
April tests. This is based on
authoritative reports that the
Soviets in their recent nuclear
tests have sufficient data to
develop an anti-missile weapon
and that we vitality need our
own atmospheric tests to catch

We are going to make proposals
in regard to inspection of prep
arations. I merely attempted to
balance off two important mat

Sidered to be the one with the
greatest weight,

|-Germany's Franz Schelle to-

championships with an aggre-
gate time of 2:33.66 minutes
for two runs down the mile
long Olympic track.
Schelle finished the first

Sergio Zardini of Italy. He
scored an impressive second

foot-high bob run to watch the
races, which had been post

temperatures dropped way be-
