appearance. The most press-ori-
ented Chief Executive In his
tory negotiated the details with
the news directors OF the three
major networks.
The excuse given for the UNI
precedented three man press
conference In his White House
office. was that the President
is under constant pressure from
the networks for televised in

obviously that the President
knew II was the kind OF ar
rangement that would ideally
suit him.
II had all the advantages of
his usual press conference, In

said, because it would have

him to take, as it was later
proved. Now, he obviously must

SkybO|t FurOr
Briton Expresses
Hope Meetings
Will Be Fruitful
BY GARRETT d. HORNER
Star staff Writer


NASSAU. Dec. 10. British
Prime Minister Macmillan told
President Kennedy today that
he hopes their meetings here
will be effective and fruitful.
Neither the Prime Minister
nor the President made any
reference in a public exchange
of greetings at Nassau Interna-
tional Airport to the storm
clouds rising over the Anglo
American alliance out of the
Skybolt missile controversy.
They talked instead about the
warm, sunny weather in the
70s that greeted the President
after his jet flight from Wash
ington.
1.-THE world looks better to-
day than it did yesterday" Mr..
Kennedy solemnly assured Mr..
Macmillan, land I'm sure it is
due to our pleasure in being on
this island in the SUM-"
Behind Pleasantries
Behind the facade of their
pleasantries was the Presidents
determination to try to con-
vince the Prime Minister that
the Skybolt air-to-ground mis-
sile will cost more than it is
worth and Mr.. Macmillan's
strong protest against contem-
plated cancellation of the Sky
bolt on which Britain is count
ing to maintain her nuclear de-
terrent power.
The issue may be decided one
way or the other during two
days Of Kennedy Macmillan
talks beginning officially to-
morrow in luxurious tropica
surroundings on Lyford Cay
near Nassau.
A crowd estimated at $500
Bahamas and visitors
watched from the flag-decked
airport balcony and sidewalks
as Mr.. Kennedy's huge silver
and blue jet liner rolled to a
stop shortly before IL am.
The plane had twice over
flown Windsor Field to kill
time. having made a fast flight
of less than 2 hours from An
drews Air Force Base, Md.
ClOseness of Countries
Mr.. Macmillan said he had
met Is times with American
Presidents and he had found
that "the most important and
vital element of all such con-
ferences was the close associa-
ton between our two coun-
tries"
Mr. Kennedy quipped that
he was not sure the world was
much better off after each of
their meetings, but that he had
benefited greatly from "the
counsel and friendship you
have shown to me-"
The President gave Ameri-
cans last night - in an I'M
precedented hour-long inter-
view with three network re-
porters-a preview of some of
the points he will make in his
talks with the British Prime
Minister.
The controversy raising
storm clouds for the Anglo
American alliance arose when
the administration recently let
1t be known that 1t wants to

bolt missile, designed to carry
a nuclear warhead and be

ing cautious expansion Of Com
munist power to Red China's
recklessness, but he foresaw no
profit from a summit meeting
soon. Nor did he expect any
respite from the burdens of the
nuclear arms race in this
century.
The world could live long in
peace if the Communist nations
would concentrate on solving
their economic problems at
home instead of trying to COM
munize the world, the President
said. He was interviewed in
his White House office by three
newSmen of the American
Broadcasting Co., the National
Broadcasting Co. and the Co.

No Hope for Policy Shift
Because he has no real hope
for a Communist shift in policy,
Mr.. Kennedy said he ex-
poets the United States must
continue to carry the burden
Of world leadership it took up
at the end of World War II.
In the past 20 years the
American people have done
well, Mr.. Kennedy observed,
considering they represent only
6 per cent of the worlds people.
The Cuba crisis has set back
hopes for successful negotia-
tons with the Soviet Union, he
said, because of the deception
