Cuban Assessment Hit
In another part of the bitter
debate on the $13 million
annual budget, the Mexican
Ambassador launched a TRADE
against United States efforts
to smooth over a dues allotment
in the budget for Cuba. Al
though the Castro government
has been excluded from all
hemisphere organs, Cuba is still
allotted a $4,000 dues quota
for fiscal 1962-63. This amounts
to 1.67 per cent Of the budget,
The United States contribution
is 66 per cent of the budget.
United States Delegate Jami-
son said there was no intention
of asking Cuba for its contribu-
ton. He said the Cuban quota
had been kept for practical
and juridical" reasons. He said
the state of Cuba is still a
member Of the GAS and the
hope is that a Cuban govern
ment consistent with demo-
cratic principles" will soon
return to the council table.

Navy Graduates 778,
Hears Address by Korth

ANNAPOLIS, June 6 (AP).-
Secretary of the Navy Korth
described today's military man
as one with unlimited knowl-
edge. imagination, courage and
patriotism.
Mr.. Korth, in a commence
ment address to 778 Midship-
men graduating from the
United States Naval Academy
today. added that the ingredi-
ents for success, regardless of
the advances in techniques and
skills, have not changed.
He said they were: Honor
and integrity, idealism and
self-sacrifice, self-discipline and
self-reliance. loyalty and devo-
ton, humility and faith"
The Secretary was principal
speaker for the Naval Acad-
emy's 18th graduation exer-
else. On hand to swear in new
officers were high-ranking Off
Gals of the Navy, Marine Corps,
Army and Air Force.
The Navy commissioned GIG

780, with two in the hospital
who will receive their degrees
but have their commissions held
up.
In describing the military man
to the midshipmen, Mr.. Korth
said in his prepared remarks:
1T is more essential today than
ever before that the military
man have unlimited knowledge.
You must be aware Of the COM
pick economic, political, and
diplomatic factors that often
effect military decisions.
you must be able to express
yourself clearly and concisely.

U. S. Voids Contract
For FuIIout Shelter

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June
6 AP).-The Federal Govern
ment has Cancelled its contract
for construction of a fallout
shelter on the Marshall Uni
versity campus.
Marshall earlier had received
a $250,000 ALLEGATION to build
the shelter. However, the low
bid submitted this spring was
$289,000 A request for a sup
plement grant was denied and
the Government announced it
would withdraw from the prof.
ect, Marshall President Stewart
H. Smith said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-06

with a theme Of advice and
encouragement.
The Chief Executive offered
this counsel:
You will need to under
stand the Importance of mill
tary power and also the limits
Of military power-to decide
when arms should be used to
fight and when they should be
used to prevent a fight-to de-
termine what represents our
vital interests and what is only
marginal. Above all, you will
have a responsibility to deter
wars as well as to fight and
win them"
Mr.. Kennedy said the wide
range of military responsible
ties now requires capacity for
a wholly different kind of force,
leadership and training. 1t is
misleading, he declared, to call
this "the nuclear age" or to
contend that national security
rests only on a capacity for
massive retaliation"
Since World War II, Mr..
Kennedy recalled, men have
fought and died in Korea, Ma
laya, Greece, the Philippines,
Algeria, Cuba, Cyprus and the
Indo-C Chinese peninsula.
In all those places, he said,
they have waged war without
massive weapons war in
which major forces were guer-
rillas, subversives. insurgents
and assassins.
These have been battles in
which victory was bought by
"eroding and exhausting the
enemy instead of engaging
him." the President said.
The President was accompa-
MED on the flight from Wash
ington by Army Secretary Stair,
Gen. George H. Decker, Army
chief Of staff; McGeorge Bundy,
presidential adviser for national
security affairs; Richard Dono-
hue, a member of the White
House staff, and Mr.. Donohue's
wife.
On his arrival by helicopter,
the President received a 21-gun
salute and reviewed an honor
guard while the academy band
played ruffles and flourishes
and the national anthem.
He later shook hands with
members Of the academy staff
and Maj. Gen. Henry Clay
Hodges, who is 102 years old
and the oldest living graduate
of the academy.

West Point Graduates
Hear Presidents Talk

WEST POINT, N. Y, JUNE
Is (AP). - President Kennedy
told West Points 1862 class Of
new lieutenants today they
have an unprecedented chance
to serve the cause of national
security and freedom.
Mr.. Kennedy, addressing the
Military Academy's festive and
tradition = laden commence
ment, said graduates of all the
service institutions within the
next 10 years will encounter
greater opportunities for the
defense of freedom than this
academy's graduates ever had
They may find themselves

nedy said. And they should
consider themselves privileged
to protect the interests of their
country, he added.
Double Duties
In the flag-decked field
house at this birthplace of the

Kennedy declared military men
bear a responsibility to deter
wars as well as to fight and
win them.
But he added the basic prob
