His Role?

Was he there as a "get-tough"
man. telling Castro what he could
and could not do? Or was he
there as a conciliator. spending
long hours trying to win an angry
Castro back into the Soviet foldP
There are indications he was a
mixture Of both. On certain is
sues. in which the United States
threatened to fight If necessary,
the Soviet government acted
quickly-whether Mr.. Castro was
insulted or not.
Thus. the missiles were dis
banded and shipped home within
a week after Mr.. Castro pledged
they would never be removed.
Two weeks later. after Mr.. Miko-
yam had arrived in Havana, Mr..
Castro said 1t was all right for the
Jet bombers TO be removed. Ear
lier he said the bombers we're his
property and not part Of the
Soviet-American deal.
On those issues-the missiles
and the bombers-Mr. Mikoyan
probably was tough. The Soviet
Union did not want to be involved
in a war over Cuba, and an Amer
lean attack on that island would
have cost the Russians an outpost
in the Caribbean and further re-
duced their influence within Com
nunist circles.

Move for Harmony

After a week Of intensive ne

negotiators Duncan Sandys and
Averell Hartman, succeeded in
getting Pakistan and India TO
discuss the Kashmir dispute.
Ever since Krishna Menon left
the Indian government. observers
have felt that India would be
more flexible on this issue. Prime
Minister Nehru has never been as
anti-PakiStan as his former adj
wiser.
The two leaders. Ayub Khan and
Mr.. Nehru, are expected TO meet
soon and discuss the border stu
alton. Since both sides are po-
litically and emotionally tied TO
winning as much OF Kashmir as
possible. many diplomats believe
chances for settlement are quite
slim.

On-Site Issue

On the principal diplomatic is
sue. however. there is evidence to
believe that the Soviet govern
ment agreed with Mr.. Castro that
u. N. on-site inspection--as called
for In the Kennedy Khrushchev-
agreement should be avoided.
The Russians have generally
refused such inspection-equat-
ing II with espionage. A precedent
In Cuba would have damaged their
case elsewhere-especially In the
nuclear test ban talks where on
site inspection OF suspected ex-
plosions is a major stumbling
block to a treaty.
Thus. the Soviet Union allowed
American ships TO check Soviet
ships carrying the missiles home
but not OF the missile sites. And

Cuba:
Loose Ends

Soviet Deputy Premier Miko-
yam left for Moscow yesterday
after more than a month In this
hemisphere. He discussed the
Cuban issue with President Ken
nedy and Secretary Of State
Rusk last week.
on Tuesday, day after Presi-
dent Kennedy had thanked Amer
lean soldiers for their efforts
the Pentagon announced that "a
phased redeployment OF forces
sent TO the Southeastern United
States during the Cuban crisis
has begun" For most Of the men.
II meant they'd be getting home
after five weeks in the field.
In addition. the Pentagon re-
vealed that the Jet bombers OF
the Strategic Air Command had
been taken off a special alert.
And II announced that many OF
the Marines on Guantanamo Bay
would be leaving soon for Cali
fornia.
These phase outs"-combined
with last weeks end Of the naval

Dubious Feeling

In the International field, It
made normal contacts with other
countries difficult. If a country
became Pakistan's ally - as the
SEATO and CENTO countries did
its motives we're questioned by
India. And If nation sold arms
to India, it had to explain to
Pakistan.
In the last month, after the
Chinese launched their campaign
against India, Western diplomats
have tried to patch up the trou-
bic between India and Pakistan
to fortify the area against the
Chinese. No one knew, of course,
what the Chinese motives were
whether they planned an about
attack, or one with only limited
detectives.
In the last 10 days, develop
ments in the area have made the
situation less gloomy but still far
from clear. This is what has hap
pened:
