The G. o. P. Move

Then, just before 9 pm. on
Thursday, Representative Findley,
Republican Of Illinois, moved to
send the bill back to committee.
AS the G. o. P. membership main
tanned its virtually solid opposi-
ton, and were joined by a surpris-
ing number Of Democrats as the
roll call proceeded, defeat became
apparent to administration leaders.
The final vote broke down this
way: For recommittal-167 Re-
publicans; 48 Democrats. Against
-204 Democrats; / Republican.
The administration had sought
to set strict Government controls
over the production of wheat, corn
and other feed grains as a method
Of cutting down our vast SURPRISES
and the resultant storage prob
lem. It said 81 billion could be
saved under it in four years.
Opponents charged that the
measure would make the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture a GEAR" Of

On Friday, the House Demo-
GRATIS leadership offered a new
bill TO extend for one year the
current voluntary wheat and feed
grain programs.

NUCLEAR

At the Athens NATO ministers
meeting last month, Defense Sec
rotary Mcnamara spoke at length
about American nuclear capabili-
ties and American nuclear
strategy.
According to Mr.. Mcnamara,
the United States had more than

siders England to be a vital part
of any future united Europe. Mr..
de Gaulle considers Britain to be
closer to both the United States
and her Commonwealth than she
is to Europe.
Thus, he has treated Britain's
application to the Market with a
certain amount of Skepticism. He
says he is in favor of Britain's
joining, but makes it clear that
no concessions will be given to the
Commonwealth. Many people be-
lieve that Mr.. de Gaulle wants a
Europe controlled by a France
German-Italian alliance-an OBJ
vious attempt to limit England's
influence.
Chancellor Adenauer in recent
weeks has also been reported in
favor of Franco German-Italian
partnership as the basis for any
future union of Europe. The Ital-
ian Foreign Minister Piccioni
however, said his country favored
a united Europe with Britain and
in close alliance with the United
States,

EUROPEAN UNITY

AS long as there has been a
Europe, there have been those.
trying to integrate it. The Com
mon Market Officially, the Euro
pean Economic Community is
the latest and most promising at
tempt made in modern times. 1t
is today the center Of extensive
political and economic debate in
all parts of the world, and is one
of the main reasons Mr.. Rusk is
now in Europe.
The Markets economic achieve
ments are well known. In four
years, the six member countries,
France, West Germany. Italy,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and
Belgium, have all prospered. Tariff
walls among the members have
been torn down, and labor and
capital flow uninterrupted across
national borders.
The economic advantages of
membership have forced Great
Britain to foresake its traditional
independence and seek full part
nership. It has led other Euro
pean nations to follow England's
lead, and it has caused concern
in many parts Of the world, es-
pecially in the Soviet bloc.
The Markets ultimate goal,
however. is not only economic
unity but a political one as well.
The concept of political unity has
aroused the imagination of many
European leaders, and the cyna-
cism of others. On one side are
the "federalists" led by Belgium's
Paul Henri-Spaak who sees a
United States of Europe, ruled by
a Congress much like the United
States of America. On the other
side is Frances Charles de Gaulle.

over the slow progress the upper

After noting that the lack Of
action on a large number of bills,
in committee, in conference and

uncertainty over the Nation, the

as necessary. there would be Sat-
urday sessions from now until

What effect the longer-hours
schedule will have on the Senate
remained to be seen. Last week, a
liberal bloc filibuster on the ad-
ministration's bill to create a pri-
vate-enterpriSe satellite commun-
ications system did not accelerate
progress.
Finally, the Democratic leader

jority for the bill when land pos

measures which must be acted

Equal Partner

If Europe is to be an equal
partner of the United States,
should not Europe have its own
defense system, allied to the
United States but not directed
by it?
Many voices are being heard,
not only in Europe but in the
United States, urging such a Eu-
ropean command. In an article
published this month, Henry Kis-
senger, a noted military theoriSt
and White House adviser, advo-
Gates such a European tactical

of nuclear potentials in Britain

Secretary of State Rusk met
with President de Gaulle and
Chancellor Adenauer last week
as he completed the first half
of his Today trip to Europe.
The Europe that Dean Rusk is
visiting this week is far different
from the struggling, impoverished,
and defenselesS Europe that
desperately sought American eco
nomic and military help at the
end of World War II.
And yet it is precisely the
changes in the last II years that
have made Mr.. Rusk's trip so
necessary. "a great deal has hap
pened since NATO first came into
being" Mr.. RuSk said on the eve
of his departure last Tuesday,
since the Marshall Plan first
helped Europe move toward full
economic recovery and the recon-
struction of war damage"
Instead of a series of broken
down nations, their futures threat

abroad, and local Communists at

Future Stake

Americas allies-the European
half of the Atlantic Alliance are
in the midst of deciding crucial
questions that not only will set
Europe's future for years to come,
but will have an impact on the
United States role in world af-
fairs.
THE Atlantic community is
entering a new period Of creative
activity" Mr.. Rusk said. MANY
of the things for which it has
struggled have been attained, and
now fresh chapters and fresh OPP
portunities are opening up for it."
These chapters" are many, and
are still being written.
There is the perplexing problem
of European integration-w will the
Common Market six accept Great
Britain and other European
states? Will the Market transform
itself into a political union-a
United States of Europe?" What
kind of political union will it be-?
What will be the United States
role in this new Atlantic partner
ship?
There is the chapter" on the
Atlantic Alliances military COM

remain as the chief arbiter or

Directorate Idea

A few years ago, Mr.. de Gaulle
suggested a directorate of the
United States, Great Britain and
France to determine policy, but
he was turned down because
Washington insisted on going
through NATO, even though the
United States alone determines
her own nuclear policy.
The French have not decided
what to do with their nuclear
weapons once they make them
still a couple of years away. Mr..
de Gaulle says that France OBJ
ViouSly needs American support
for her defenSes but thinks France
should have more of a say in
formulating policy.
Britain has a limited nuclear
strike force, mainly in her bomber
command. With the United States
forces so powerful, there have
been two movements in England
gaining strength.
One would have England re-
nounce nuclear weapons, and try
to persuade France to do the
same. The other would have Brit
ain share her weapons wi h
France in return for some guaran-
teed share in determining Euro
pean policy.
Actually, if one carries the sig
nificance of European unity to its
logical extreme, NATO must I'M
dergo some Severe changes. AS it
is set up now, NATO is an At
lantic alliance but it's main forces
are provided by the United States
strategic command and by West
German ground forces. The other
European countries are not con-
tributing their full share to the
NATO command.

The UndeveIoped

There is the chapter" on how
the Alliance should act toward the
Soviet Union, and how it should
deal with the underdeveloped
parts of the world.
These are all great new de-
velopments and it is not. I think,
unexpected that there is lively
discussion among us at this
present time" Mr.. Rusk said.
Mr.. Rusk visited Paris on Tues
day and Wednesday. He paid a
brief call on the Berlin Wall, and
went to Bonn for talks on Thurs
day and Friday. He is in Rome
this week end, and later will
travel to London and Lisbon.
These are the main problems on
his agenda with leaders in these
countries.

Solid Ranks

The farm bill defeat dramatical-
ly demonstrated that the House
G. o. p, when it maintains solid
ranks and is Joined by conserva-
tive Democrats, can apply a virtual
veto over administration legislative
programs.
This situation holds at a time
when the Democrats have a House
majority Of SO seats-263 to ia
over the Republicans. This ma
jority, it is acknowledged, is more
apparent than real because Of
Southern opposition to many
liberal, welfare-type legislative
proposals Of the administration.
But it means that the Repub-
licans would not have to gain abb
solute control Of the House in
November pickup of As seats
in order to be able to call the tune
on virtually every Kennedy pro-
posal. A modest G.. o. P. gain Of
is to 20 seats now held by liberal
Democrats would virtually doom
big welfare programs in the next
Congress-Federal aid to educa-
ton and medical aid to the aged
under Social Security (if it fails
of enactment this year,, for two.
Thus, the President and other
leaders of the Democratic Party
face an overriding need to change
the pattern of American political
history and add to their real"
majority, particularly in the
House. On their success in this
matter will rest, in large measure,
the fate Of the New Frontiers

Unanimous Vote

Mr.. de Gaulle wants political
unity, but he says it is possible
only on the basis of an associa-
ton of sovereign nations acting
by unanimous vote. Considering
the long tradition of rival Euro
pean national states, the French
view is the more logical one. 1t
has won the hesitant support of
the Italians and the Germans.
The Italians and Germans say
that political unity must come
gradually. First, perhaps, the De
Gaulle concept, and then the
Spaak one.
But Mr.. de Gaulle's concepts Of
Europe are different from the

Undoubtedly. Mr.. Rusk suggested
some sort of united front on nu-
clear policy to Mr.. de Gaulle. The
subject will be a crucial one in
London as well. The British are
at a crossroads in nuclear devel-
opment and obviously need advice.

The Economy:
Recession Talk

The United States Labor
Statistics Chief said on Tues
day that a recession is likely
in 1868. Labor Secretary Gold
berg promptly took issue with
him and on Wednesday he de-
MED making a prediction Of a
downturn. The stock market
suffered more battering last
week and hit another new low
for the year.
TWA and flight engineers
negOtiatOrs reached tentative
agreement on Thursday, but the
uniOnists struck Pan Am and
Eastern yesterday.
For several months now, Presi-
dent Kennedy and administration
leaders have been talking about
the necessity of keeping the re-
covery from the 1901 recession
from running out of gas.
A number of steps have been
recommended by the White House
in this connection. Some have
been taken; others which require
legislative action have been stuck
in Congress, largely because they
are of a highly controversial ma
ture and do not have the support
of the business community.
Meanwhile, stocks have con-
tinued to slide sharply-last week
another new low for the year was
registered as the Dow-Jones In
dustrial Average sank to $50, off
more than Is per cent from its
high of 734 last December 13-
and there has been more and
more the fear of a new recession.

BERLIN

Probably no Western statesman
has been more involved in the
Berlin crisis than Dean Rusk. But
like Latin teacher who has never
visited Rome, Mr.. Rusk waited
until last week before taking a
look at the Berlin Wall.
The barbed wire and concrete
structure shocked the usually calm
Secretary Of State. 1T has to

Mayor Willy Brandt from a wood
en- observation platform looking
over the wall.

nifty. The wall will be broken
eventually. That is the story Of
human freedom. 1t must be set
Alright"
Mr.. Rusk had no suggestions on
how to tear the wall down. Despite
his inspired words, it was clear
the wall could only be negotiated
down. And it was the question OF
how to negotiate that brought Mr..
Rusk to Germany.

A Gesture

Indeed, his stop in Berlin was
less than three hours long-a
purely symbolic gesture. He spent
two days in Bonn, and discussed
the German situation with Chan
cellor Adenauer, the 87-year old
German leader.
Mr.. Adenauer had stirred Wash
ington's anger and dismay not too
long ago by telling reporters that
he did not think talk with the
Russians would lead anywhere on
Berlin. He seemed to be more or
less supporting the rigid mo talk"
policy of Mr.. de Gaulle. And to
top it off, Bonn leaked valuable
policy information to the press.

up the matter of French nuclear
strength. AS Mr. RuSk has said
before, the United States can do
nothing about Frances develop

that Mr.. Rusk tried the second
best thing. He asked France to

with the United States and
Britain.

VATICAN CITY The
canonization of Blessed
Martin de PORES, mulat-
to lay brother who was
born in Peru of a Spanish
knight and a Negro exslave,
appears certain to take place
this year.
This would place The 18th
century Dominican on the
Church's official roll of saints,
and bring him the public hon.

Cardinals of the Sacred

ly supernatural quality of the
cures, thus labelling them au-
thentic miracles.
IT HAS BEEN said with.
in the Vatican that Blessed
Martins canonization will take
place on May 6, but. no Off
cial announcement has been
made. Before the date of can
Onization can be announced
officially, the cardinals of the
Sacred Congregation of Rites
must meet in general assem-
bly, in the Pope's presence and
give their vote. However this
meeting and other few re-
naming requirements are
mere formalities.
The Congregation of Rites
supervise all that concerns
public worship within the
Latin Rite of the Church, and
handles the steps leading to
canonization.
Pope John XIII has shown
himself favorable to the
canonization of Blessed Mar
tin. In April of 1860 he told
300 pilgrims from Peru that
he hoped it would soon take
place.
Martin was born in 1869 in
Lima. His father was a knight
from Alcantara in Spain. His
mother was a Negro freed
woman from Panama, though
some historians hold she was
Indian.
Martin was apprenticed as
a barber and studied surgery,
which was then part of a
