As q Politician His Speeches
Give Insight to His Fears, Motives

Is reproduced In full in all
the newspapers inside the
Soviet Union. Here Is q pas
sage that shows the Premier
is on the defensive and that
he Is doing everything he can
to place on the West the
blame for the economic
plight Of his own people. He
says:
I'VE now have the problem
of meat prices in the Soviet
Union. We bought meat from
the collective farms for less
than it actually cost them
to produce. We had to give
the farmers more for their
meat. but from where should
we have got the money?
From the ornaments? Would
it have been responsible to
take the money from our
army? We talked o.the work
ers and they agreed that We
should increase the price Of
meat.
I'VE could not take the
money from the army be-
cause we want to prevent
U. S. bombs falling on our
heads. American and Ger
man generals tell us that
they are so strong now that
they can destroy our coun-
try"
This is really an alibi for
the economic distress inside
the Soviet Union. 1t is a
convenient excuse that the
Soviet Premier uses In order
to justify the policies of his
regime and his failure to use
public funds to alleviate the
lot of the Soviet citizen. So
it's important for Mr.. Khru-
shchev to give the impression
that the United States is an
aggreSsor. Here's another alb
stract from the latest Khru-
Shchev speech which illus
trates that point:
President Kennedy once
remarked it could be possible
that the United States has
to take the initiative and
start a war. The impe-
rialists prepare a war against
us. If the imperialiStS would
attack us, it would result in
a suicide. I can assure you
that in such a case not one
stone would remain on the
other. The time has passed

these three also come through
the trial heats of 80.
But, however this talk may
run, it will necessarily be iffy
talk. What will not be iffy
at all will be this: Mr..
Scranton will have become a
Republican rescuer of a spe-
cial kind. He will have re-
PEELED the long Democratic
invasion from what used to
be the very citadel of Repub-
licanism along the Atlantic
Coast.
He may or may not be-
come Mr.. Republican in 1864.
But he will surely be Mr.. Re-
publican in 1862. And from
that moment Gov. Rockefel-
Ter in New York will have q
first-rank rival for the lead
erShip at the very minimum,
of the Eastern wing of the
party.

Nikita Khrushchev, politi-
clan, is constantly running
for office. Even in an au-
tocracy this happens, because
a dictator lives in constant
fear of a revolution that
could overthrow him. Stain
once said to Harry Hopkins,
a special American envoy to
Moscow: Remember that we.
too. have to keep in mind
our public opinion"
Mr.. Khrushchev's words in
every public speech he makes
are today more significant
than any of the diplomatic
notes on artificially contrived
issues or propaganda blasts
that come daily over the ra-
dio from b hin d the Iron
Curtain. His informal talks
give an insight into his rea-
soning, his reactions. his
fears and his motives. They
are uncensored.
In a trip to Rumania this
week, the Soviet Premier an
nounced that the Soviet IN
ion sees no reason to go to
war with the West over Ber-
lin. This has been becoming
obvious lately, but Mr.. Khru-
shchev now makes it official.
He declares flatly, too, that
Russia has no intention of
m ddying the waters by
means of a separate peace
treaty with Communist East
Germany. His words were
these:
I'VE are not setting any
headlines for signing the
treaty with the German
Democratic Republic. If the
time is right. however, we
shall solve the problem. We
want an understanding with
the Americans over the Ger
man question and to settle
the West Berlin problem in
order to end the occupation
regime in this city and turn
it into a free town."
This has been stated in
broad terms before, but it is
significant that it is repeat
ed now as Mr.. Khrushchev
makes q tour of the Com
muniSt bloc countries and
tries to reasSure nervous peo-
Piles In those areas that war
is not in prospect.

mier says on a speaking trip

Pope John Sounds Call
For Unified Christianity

VATICAN CITY, June %
(AP). - Pope John XIII
called last night for Christian
unity but asserted that a uni
fled Christianity is possible
only under the Roman Cath
Ole Church.
The Pope spoke at a Corpus
Christi procession emphasiz-
ing the forthcoming Ecumeni-
cal Council. the church's first
worldwide meeting since 1862
1870.
Pope John referred to Ca
tholiciSm's own internal unity
and said, with the imminence
Of the council. nothing could
better recall the motives that
inspired the calling of the
council, that is, making the
mystical body of Christ a more
visible sign of the first char
acteristic note of the Cath
Ollie Church, which is its unity,
as its Divine Founder wanted
it."
The Vatican attached enough
significance to the Pope's
speech to reproduce excerpts
in several languages, the same
treatment given to papal
Christmas and Easter messages
and other major pronounce
mentS.
The Pope was carried at dusk
in a procession of thousands
through st. Peters Square. 1t
was the first time since the 1850
Holy Year that a papal pro-
ceSsion has chanted its way
through the vast square of this
feast of the body of Christ.
In recent years, the Corpus
Christi procession move d
around the Coliseum near CEN
trail Rome. Pope John wanted
this years procession at st.
Peters Basilica to signify the
solemnity of a council year
just as Pope Plus XII had done
to mark the 1850 Holy Year.
Pope John has said the
council, starting October IL,
would be a preparation for
greater Christian unity. Now
he said, This unity, which is
clear in the Gospels and which
asks the sincere adherence of
every just and generous man
to the word and example of
Jesus, receives confirmation in
the act of faith which is raised
this evening"

Khrushchev on the Defensive

ticipated in o war only with
their capital. In the last war,
they lost 400, 900 people. We
lost 100000. War now
would not be restricted to
Europe and we would not
have to send our troops to
the United States. We could
send our rockets how
ever. we do not want war
with the United States and
to drop our bombs over
America"
The foregoing Is one of the
most revealing passages Of
the international debate. It
shows that the Soviet Pre-
mier knows a nuclear war
means mutual suicide and
that he is not hesitating to
say so. It shows also that he
wants his own people to be-
lieve that the United States
has aggressive instead Of de-
fensive intentions. The Com
munist regime is thus trying
desperately to justify the low
standard of living inside the
Soviet Union.
Now, President Kennedy
has never made any such
statement as Mr.. Khrushchev
attributes to him. He never
said that America would
start a war but only that
nuclear weapons might have
to be used to defend Europe
if attacked by conventional
forces. The misquotation it
self points up how the Soviet
Premier makes use Of every
bit of verbal ammunition he
can gather by twisting out
of context any and all state
mentS from America. Even
this isn't half as important
as the purpose behind such
tactics. 1t is clear that the
Soviet Premier is on the de-
fenSive with his own people.
He fears them. He seeks to
reassure them. He doesn't
know at what moment they
may rise UP to challenge him
and demand a better way of
life.
Certainly all this confirms
the growing impression that
a balance of power" has ar
rived in the world, and that,
unless Red China goes ber-
serk, war is farther away
than it was just q few
months ago when the Ameri-
can people were talking
about bomb shelters" and
American reservists were be-
ing called to active duty.

The Soft-on-Comnunisnn Issue

House Democrats, so long
resolutely blind to the plain
anarchy of the farm program,
showed flashes Of style on an
Inflated farm bill geared to
the political realities Of 1862.
Apparently they feel that the
voters have really had
enough of this particular
waste of the national sub
stance; what is equally COM
pelling is the plain fact that
Democratic control of Con-
gress hinges upon the big,
population gaining States
where the voters appear rest
less.
Nothing proposed in Con-
gress seems to appeal to its
Republican leaders as likely
to help them, too. How far
they can get with Professor
Rostow as a positive men,
ace is doubtful, but the hunt
goes on.
Even so attractive a new
look Republican as Represent

vania. has been tempted by

his Democratic opponent, IA
vored recognition of Red
China in 1858. Mr.. Scranton
now is turning away from
the issue and Mr.. Dilworth
has withdrawn his recogni-
ton of Red China.

nor against Mr.. Scranton,
Richardson Dilworth.
More than this, a Scranton
established in the mansion
at Harrisburg would be able,
with the help of the Republi-
can Senator Scott. to return
Pennsylvania to its tradition
al moorings as baSically a Re-
publican State. This, how
ever viewed otherwise, would
have the most historic impor-
lance to the maintenance of
the two-party system in this
country.
For in the slow decline and
death of the old Republican
and Old Guard Republi-
can machine in Pennsyl-
vania has lain one of the most
damaging and persistent
weaknesses of the Republi-
can Party nationally. This
State, along with Ohio, used
to be Republican territory al
most in the automatic sense
that the Old South used to
be automatically Democratic
territory.
A Pennsylvania returned
Solidly to the GO. P. through

would have about as much
meaning for the Republicans
as a Solid South miraculous
ly returned intact to them

on the back of young and
able William Scranton-he is

Investigating Senators have
learned that much of the sur
plus lead and zinc in bullying
defense stockpiles was bought
at fixed prices under a quota
system from the relatively few
large United States producers.
While the Senators continued
digging into the history Of the
stockpiles, Senator Harry F.
Byrd, Democrat of Virginia, re-
ported that the total value Of
goods in them crept up another
81 million in February and
March to a total of $8.7 billion.
This, he noted, despite the con-
gressional inquiry and Presi-
dent Kennedy's January plea
that the supplies be reduced.
Franklin j. Clutches, a min
erals expert in the General
Services Administration, testi-
fled yesterday that lead and
zinc were the only metals in
the stockpile acquired under
monthly purchase orders from
the Office of Defense Mobiliza-
ton.
Annual Programs
Other items were acquired
under annual programs, he
said.
Senator Symington, Demo-
crat of Missouri, chairman of
a Senate Armed Services sub
committee now investigating
the stockpiles, asked why COM
petitive bidding was not used
to fill defense needs at the
lowest prices.
Mr.. Gutchess said he acted
under directives which came
from Arthur s. Flemming, then
director of defense mobiliza-
ton.
And even though monthly
quotas were fixed for each of
the few large producers, Mr..
Clutches said sit is my belief
that the producers did not
know how much the Govern
ment would buy from them or
at what price.

DR.. Fleming also has been
a witness before the current
inquiry and has promised to
return for additional question:
ing about why he deferred cop
per stockpile deliveries and let
producers benefit from market
prices higher than those in
Government contracts.
At the outset Of yesterdays
hearing, Chairman Symington
said DR.. Flemming violated
the directive he had received
from the President (Eisen-
hower)" in order to continue
large purchases of lead and
zinc.

88S Per Cent of Needs

Senator Symington said some
$400 million in lead now stock
piled is 444 per cent of esti-
mated needs and $443 million
of zinc is some 888 per cent
of the maximum goal.
Based on present prices COM
pared with purchase levels,
Senator Symington said, tax
payers already have taken a loss
of more than 5000 million on
the two metals.
Senator Symington said the
testimony shows that the excess
purchases were made to boost
lead and zinc prices.
