U. 5. Sets Off
2NucIear Tests
BY the Associated Press

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion yesterday announced two
nuclear test explosions, explo-
sions. one at Johnston Island in
the Pacific and an underground
blast at the Nevada test site. 1t
announced also a Russian blast.
The announcement said the
Johnston Island test device, in
the intermediate range, was
dropped from an airplane as
part of an exercise called OPP
Grafton Dominic. 1t took place
at 5:45 am. Hawaiian time
yesterday, the Acc said.
The underground test was
the 56th announced Nevada
test, the Acc said.
The Russian nuclear test ex-
plosion came early yesterday in

Crisis Over Cuba Seen

ercising his constitutional pre-
rogative then dissolved the as
sembly, asking Mr.. Pompidou
to carry on in the interim. The
electoral battle was joined.
Basic Issues Changed
The campaign that has en-
sued during the last two weeks
has completely changed the
basic issues Of the coming vote.
BY threatening to resign if
the result is unfavorable-which
he is under no obligation to
dozen. de Gaulle has made
the main issue one of a personal
vote of confidence in his inter-
probation of the constitution
and his fight with the political
leaders. Time and again in his
speeches he has stressed the
danger of returning to the
sterile political game" as is
was played under the Fourth
Republic.
For their part the political
leaders have made the main
issue one of the danger of
unlimited presidential power,
whether as practiced by Gen.
de Gaulle or some future preSi-
dent. The constitution, as Gen.
de Gaulle reads it, provides for
none of the checks and bal
ances built into other preSi-
Dental systems. Tomorrow's
vote, they contend, is a personal
plebiscite-the favorite device
of all modern European die
tators. Gen. de Gaulle's pro-
posed constitutional change and
his war on the established
political parties, they argue, is
a direct threat to the future
of democracy in France.
Caught in this verbal cross
fire, the electorate has shown
signs of a painful struggle of
conscience in recent weeks.
Working for President de Gaulle
along with Cuba are his own
enormous personal prestige and
a general feeling of well being
in the country-reinforced by
generous recent concessions to
government workers and mini
mum salary scales. There is
also the continuing threat of
right-wing violence, dramati-
cally illustrated by recurring
attempts to aSSassinate Gen.
de Gaulle and a general feeling
of uncertainty about how the
succession would go if he leaves.
Papers Are Opposed
Modified against the govern
ment on the other hand is. in
addition to the political leaders,
virtually the entire press of the
country, including many papers
usually staunchly Gaullist. Most
leading intellectuals and jurists
hold that Gen de Gaulle's

that would carry a high risk.
The Russians, therefore. it

revenge for our Cuban action
elsewhere than in Berlin and
in the NATO area.
Massive retaliation is both a
threat and a plan of action.
President Kennedy is using the
threat. He has improved the
plan of action.
Russia also uses the threat,
but she does not have the
strategy or the weapons to
carry it out on all levels Of
conflict. Russian planners, just
beginning to develop a deter

suitable for the nuclear age,
have a great deal to ponder

exchange is not up to us in the
Cuban situation-it is up to the
Russians.
We can gain anything we
want in the Caribbean without
using atomic bombs; the Rus
slams cannot.
Some weeks ago, before
President Kennedy took the
initiative over Cuba, Premier
Khrushchev threatened to
bomb the United States if Cuba
were harmed. 1t wss an easy
threat to make because Russia
was not, in fact, faced with a
war situation in the Caribbean.
Danger to Russia Great
Today. Mr.. Khrushchev can
not-and is enthusiastically
threatening to bomb us over
Cuba because the danger to
him is both close and clear.
Instead of threatening nu-
clear war, he warns against it.
Clearly if this catastrophe
breaks out, it will bring ex-
treInely grave consequences to
mankind and will spare neither
right nor left" he told Lord
Russell on Wednesday.
You're right. Mr.. Kennedy
replied in effect, so you better
bow to my blockade and hustle
those rockets out of Cuba,
Since the Kremlin stood to
lose Russia over little Cuba,
our willingness to threaten
retaliation. plus our
ability to win a lesser engage
ment, forced the Communists
to backpedal.
Massive retaliation as first
enunciated in 1854 by John
Foster Dulles was quite differ
ent from the popular impress
sion of Lay one finger on me
and I'll blow UP the world"
Kennedy Corrects Weakness
Mr.. Dulles wanted his threats
to be broad-to cover the spec
trum from guerrilla war to
general nuclear war-and his
actual military response to be
flexible and appropriate to the
size of the threat.
But, in the view Of present
Government leaders, he did not

New Massive Retaliation

have the weapons or the STRAIT
egg to make either his threats
or his action work. Mr.. Ken
nedy set out to correct this
weakness.
He bought more arms so that
this country could stand UP to
the Russians in guerrilla war
and limited war almost any
where in the world. And he
changed our general nuclear
war strategy from one of utter
(and ultimately suicidaD dew
astation to one of flexibility
with heavy emphasis on limit
ing damage and controlling
weapons.
The weapon and strategy
changes tell the Russians that
we are now confident that we
can fight on any level and win
and survive as a country.
Suicidal Strategy
Russia cannot show this con-
fidence in nuclear war because
she is short on weapons and
still has the suicidal strategy
we abandoned.
Perhaps Mr.. Kennedy is de-
luding himself, however. Per-
haps we cannot really survive
a nuclear war. But If we are
convincingly confident we can
do it. the Kremlin cannot risk
starting any war that puts our
vital interests at stake.
In Cuba this works clearly in
our favor, Pentagon strategists
say.
In Berlin it is something diff
ferent.
There the Communists out
weigh us in any limited war
contest. We can threaten gen.
eral nuclear war, but the choice
will be up to us, and the Com
munists can reasonably doubt
that we would risk America to
save Berlin.
Soviet Unions Dilemma
On the other hand, the STRAIT
egists say, the Communists
cannot be positive that we are
deferred from using atom
bombs over Berlin, so they are
probably deferred from push

The Cuban crisis of the past
week is a demonstration of a
neWly-refined massive retalia-
ton" doctrine in action.
Pentagon analysts say the
demonstration shows that:
Massive retaliation was never
abandoned by the Kennedy
administration.
1t Is a flexible doctrine that
does not require that Moscow
be obliterated during every
crisis.
1t is a doctrine that requires
special weapons and strategies,
which the Kennedy admins
tration has provided.
And, finally, the Russians do
not have those weapons or
strategies.
Cuba shows how massive re-
taliation works in an area
where the United States holds
all of the military cards.
The United States is conf
dent-and the Russians realis-
tically accept - that United
States forces are strong enough
to defeat the Communists on
land, sea or air in the Carib-
bean under any foreseeable cir
cumstances.
u. S. Has Big Advantage
The Communists could not
hope to power their way to sue
cess in limited war there.
They could only protect their
position in Cuba by threaten
ing a nuclear attack on the
United States. But here again,
the United States has an ad-
vantage. In a nuclear exchange
the United States can hurt the
Russians more than they can
hurt it.
This country has more long
range missiles, far more bomb
ers and better-quality weapons
today than the Russians, and
it has firm plans to keep our
margin.
OF course, we would be hurt
significantly, but the terrible
decision of starting a nuclear

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star


PARIS, Oct. 27.-The crisis
over Cuba will certainly favor
President de Gaulle when
French voters go to the polls
tomorrow to decide whether he
should stay or go.
So much so, in fact, that
former Premier Mendes France
has demanded that tomorrow's
referendum be postponed. The
government, he charged. was
deliberately using Cuba to in
fluence the result of the coming
vote.
The plea, needless to say, was
Ignored by Gen. de Gaulle. In
his last prediction television
address, he merely pointed out
that the crisis emphasized the
need for a constitutional re-
form to elect future French
Presidents by universal suf-
frage. And once more the Pres
ident threatened to resign from
office If his majority at the
polls was not satisfactory.
There is, however, reason to
believe that it will be. The
vote marks the opener of a two
round test Of strength between
Gen. de Gaulle and five of the
country's six major political
parties. Tomorrow's referendum
will be followed by election of
new National Assembly next
month.
Seeks Universal Suffrage
The crisis opened last month
when Gen. de Gaulle decided
to go to the country on the
question of election Of future
French Presidents. At present,
the constitution provides for
election of the chief of state
by some 10000 "notables"-
elected national and local Of
ficials. Gen. de Gaulle seeks to
Aave this election by universal
suffrage procedure virtually
unheard of in France, where
the number Of political parties
and the strength Of the Com
munist vote makes such a vote
a highly tricky affair.
Despite the problems, Pres
ident de Gaulle has argued that
only a president elected by all
the people could have the same
authority as he has enjoyed
during his own four years in
office. The presidents term
runs until 1865 and he has
limited strongly that he will
not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton.
The constitutional project ran
into trouble when Gen. de
Gaulle proposed to take the
issue directly to the country
instead of going first through
the two houses of Parliament
as the constitution explicitly
provides. AS a result the as
sembly in an unusual show of
unanimity voted to censure the
government of Premier Georges
Pompidou. Gen. de Gaulle, ex-

showdown were illegal. The
trade union leadership is gen.
orally opposed. And warnings
of the dangers of unlimited
executive authority have struck
a response with many French
men.
The outlook, in the opinion
of most observers, is for some
thing of a draw in the coming
contest.
Gen. de Gaulle is expected to
win a referendum with a ma
jority smaller than the pre-
vious landslide votes on his
Algerian policies. Even his OPP
ponents. concede him the prob
ability of at least so per cent
of the votes cast tomorrow
possibly as high as rs per cent.
The major problem in the
referendum will be the number
of abstentions. In most French
elections the abstentions have
run between Is and 80 per
cent. In earlier referendums
under Gen. de Gaulle they have
run about half that.
AbStentiOnS Are Factor
Some observers believe that
the abstentions tomorrow could
be relatively high. They could
also be a decisive factor in
the outcome. If the absten-
tionS, together with the mega
tive votes, exceed those cast
in favor of Gen. de Gaulle, he
would be placed in a difficult
position.
In the Assembly elections to
follow, in which local factors
will play a powerful part. Many
are predicting Gen. de Gaulle
Will be the chief loser and that
the new Assembly may turn
out to be more hostile to Gen.
de Gaulle than the old one.
All of which, to say the least,
is not a very reaSsuring pros
pect. For Frenchmen, despite
the dramatic developments on
the world stage in the last
week, it remains a major pre-
occupation. And for Frances
allies as well the outcome of
the coming electoral battle
may have far-reaching and
fateful consequences.
