Secretary of State Dean Rusk
had needed those soft-liners
here and abroad who wanted
to avoid demanding any real
action at all against Castro.
Their cry was that to do this
would "break up" something
called Pan American unity"
Mr.. Rusk decided-and quite
rightly - that the price for
this kind of unity" would be

1t is wishful thinking to
suppose that we got out of
that conference anything like
all we had wanted. But it is
very shallow thinking to sup
pose that we would have been
better off to content ourselves
with tapping Fidel Castro,
very softly, upon one wrist.
We wanted massive and
unanimous action to kick
Castro's Communist Dictator
ship out of all inter- Ameri-

fairs; to outlaw him alto
gether, and no nonsense. And
we wanted to cut off all his
trade in this hemisphere.
We got something much
less-but anyhow it is a start,
and a far better start, more
over, than could reasonably
have been hoped for only two
or three months ago.
A majority-albeit not the
decisive majority we had
hoped for-did agree to the

DAVID LAWRENCE
Inquiry Into Nations Accumulation
Of Defense Materials Held Overdue

President Kennedy's in
stinctive passion for publicity
and headlines got the better
of him at his press confer
ence this week as he chose
the wrong method to achieve
a rightful objective.
Instead Of presenting to
Congress in a comprehensive
message the full details OF
the "stockpiling" program
with specific recommended
tons to curtail excessive
purchasing, Mr.. Kennedy
made a vague statement and
left the inference of scandal
as he referred to "uncon-
scionable profits" It so hap
pens that, at the "uncon-
scionable" tax rates of today,
the Federal Government gets
back So per cent of all cor
porate profits and from rs to
80 per cent Of the income of
any individual "profiteers."
Congress is primarily re-
sponsible for this program Of
spending. and the Democratic
Party has been in control Of
both houses for seven out Of
the last nine years. Mr.. Ken
nedy himself was a member
of the Senate during six Of
the last nine years. Again
and again Senators Robert
son and Byrd Of Virginia,
Democrats, have called at
tention in formal reports to
the large expenditures in re-
cent years for stockpiling Of
both metals and agricultural
products, but to no avail.
Senator Robertson, in a
public statement just issued.
points out that his committee
had been trying for the last
five years to get this stock
pile cut down but that "Con-
gress up to now has declined
to follow the committees ad-
vice" He adds: ION the con-
trary. it has never amended
the original legislation which
prevents the President from
disposing Of stockpiled ma
terials, surplus to the Ma
tons needs, without specific
legislative approval"
Senator Robertson is chair
man of a Joint Committee on
Defense Production, and Sen
ator Byrd is chairman of a
Joint Committee on Reduc-
ton Of Nonessential Federal
Expenditures. Both commit
tees were bypassed by the

Delivery on Heels Of Urban Proposal
Called Shrewd Political Tjnnino

In another shrewd stroke
Of political timing, President
Kennedy sent his farm mes
sage to Congress hot on the
heels Of his reorganization
plan for a Department of
Urban Affairs and Housing.
The solicitude Of the con-
sentative coalition for the
farmers can thus be matched
against its scorn Of the pro-
posed new department. Less
than 80 per cent of Ameri-
cans now live on farms. The
rest are in metropolitan areas
which daily grow in geo.
graphical extent and popu-
lation.
Only II States remain pre-
dominantly rural, and the
farm vote is not the balance
OF power in all of them.
Observers of the long-range
political prospect in this
country are well into dis
cussionS Of what this means
in terms Of prospective Presi-
dents and the issues which
will determine Statewide
elections. For the President,
peace or war will remain the
overriding consi d Grafton
though his stance on domestic
matters can never be ignored.
Members Of Congress have
no such escape hatch from
their score on country city
matters.
The President, in himself
and in his administration,
clearly reflects the changes
which have taken place in
the social and economic
scene. His farm message
shows that he fully accepts
the chronological revolution
on the farms and is even
conscious of the time when
SO million fewer acres will
produce all we need. The
date he offers for that con-
summation is 1980-less than
two decades away.
He also set up a goal for
using the idled acres. He
wants them developed for
the peoples enjoyment in
grass lands, hunting, fish
ing and recreational areas.
Washington and possibly
the country are so cynical
at this point about farm pol
icy, there will be a tendency
to dismiss the Kennedy pro-
gram as just another farm
bill which the vested inter-
ests in agriculture can bury.
1t shouldn't be that easy if
leadership is available in the
Executive and Legislature
branches.
The President has offered
the first really creative ap-
,proach to ending the near
anarchy in farm policy since
surpluses began to mount.
He has recognized the harsh
economic realities which at-
tach to those surpluses. The
situation is vastly different
from the early Dos when the
farmers deserved rescue and

country fight on economic
issues. Yet the friends of the
farmer in Congress know
that resentment Of the costly
farm program has been
building and that it cuts
across party lines. City Con-
gressmen were once depend
able allies Of the farm bloc,
especially Democrats, but
that Is no longer true. Nor
do the city members enjoy
being baked by the conserv-
alive coalition Of which

GINA is the real leader.

President as he asked Sena-
tor Symington. chairman of
the Stockpiling Subcommittee
Of the Armed Services Com
mittee, to undertake the in
vestigation. Senator Syming-
ton was invited to the White
House to discuss the problem
and subsequently told report
ers that he knows of mo
'wrongdoing by anyone.
There's more than meets
the eye in the Presidents call
for an investigation. For
what the Federal Government
has been doing in the pur-
chase of metals and other
commodities has served to
bolster the prices of those
same articles, and this, in
turn, has meant profits for
the sellers. This also has
been true, of course, in the
agricultural domain.
AS "a matter Of fact, it
looks very much as If the
President is trying to build
up an alibi for the excessive
stockpiling of farm products.
For he made his charges
about the supplies in metals
on the very same day that
he asked Congress in a spe-
cial message for power to
deal with the farm program
by price supports.
Actually, the United States
has stockpiled about SIT bill
lion in war materials, but its
agricultural stockpile is at
about the same figure,
though the President says it
is lower. For he did not take
into account the exchange of
farm products for metals,
which is one of the jobs the
defense production agency
carries on. This amounts to
a stable figure.
Back of the big sums in
volved in stockpiling is a
market factor. Through the
buying Of these war mate
rails, the SURPRISES are taken
off the market, and this
sends the prices up to artifi-
cial levels. Naturally, the SELL
ers make large profits, and
that's what happens to those
who deal in farm products,
too. The whole idea is to boil
ster prices.
So, If there Is anything
"unconscionable," it Is in the
way the Congress has held
prices of farm products, as

in partially-filled Lake Norman.
And so has the population ex-
plosion of bass that Will have the
new, 34,000-acre impoundment in
tested with "little'uns' by this
time next year.
Early anglers, already working
the relatively narrow band of wa
ter which has pushed over the
original river banks as far up as
Mooresville, have been catching
illegal length bass Qess than 10
inches) by the hundreds.
And, by some odd happen
stance, they're also catching small
carp, mostly in the 10 inch range,
by the buckets. The strictly carp
fisherman is having a field day
with these small ones.
The small bass being caught
now should be in the 11a-2 pound
range by next September plus
another tremendous hatch of fry
from next years spring spawn.
Lake Norman's best fishing,
both from abundance and size,
will begin around 1865 and last
until 1870. After that the lake
will balance itself off, and fish
ing will become much as it is
now in Mountain Island Lake and
