The Soviet Arms BuiIdup in Cuba

consulting the members Of
the U. S. Joint Chiefs of
Staff, forbade the Cubans to
use their own air cover and
then gave permission when it
was too late. as the schedule
had already been upset.
The American people have
never been given all the facts.
Congress is debating the
question Of doing this now.
The cry Of politics" is being
raised by the administration
supporters. who naturally
want to prevent any compre-
hensive inquiry. But 1t doesn't
look as If they will have their
way. For there are many
Democrats as we'll as Repub-
licans who think the whole
story should be exposed.
What is needed is not
merely the disclosure of tes-
timony taken in secret by
congressional committees two
years ago but new hearings
which will permit cross-ex-
animation Of the military
men at the Pentagon who
were involved. The impress
sion has been given by ad-
ministration spokesmen that
the United States Joint Chiefs
cleared" or approved" the
Bay Of Pigs invasion plan
without United States air COW
er. This is only part of the
story. They were not told
until too late that the Presi-
dent had interfered with the
use Of the Cuban exiles' own
planes at a critical moment,
which meant the difference
between victory or defeat for
the brave Cuban army.
Is the impression to be al
lowed to continue that the
United States Joint Chiefs
Of Staff didn't know the i'm
portance Of air cover and ap-
proved an expedition which
could at any moment be up
set by word from the Presi-
dent himself? Surely this
isn't the feeling that the
people have about the role
Of the Nations military lead
ers in a nuclear age. The
idea all along has been that
decisions would be reached
with the military chiefs pres
ent. Anyway, a clearing-up
Of the facts wouldn't hurt

The Governor is equally
polite to most New York
Democrats. He can afford to
be. They have still to produce
appealing candidates for
State wide office. and what
passes for their leadership is
puerile. Observers doubt they
can even beat Senator Ken

next year, though his appeal
for metropolitan New York is
negligible.
President Kennedy has put
his political affairs here in
the hands of his urother-in-
law, Stephen Smith, who also
handles the family financing.
All signs are lacking that the
administration will assume
any direction of attempts to
rebuild the party.
The Governors relations
with his fellow Republicans,
particularly upstate, are not
the best. and there is harsh
talk behind the scenes. But
1t is not to the interest of
the dissenters to tear him
down publicly, and they are
not expected to. do so.
The party's emotional at
tachment to Senator Barry
Goldwater is true here to a
degree, and its effect will be
to make Gov. Rockefeller
more conservative, particu-
larly in the economic sector.
II is an old story, however,
that ambitious Governors
aim their policy at the in

President Kennedy may not
have realized it, but he threw
away a very important piece
Of diplomatic leverage when
he scrapped the Monroe Doc
trine in his pronouncements
last autumn about the Soviet
occupation of Cuba.
Mr.. Kennedy unfortunately
drew a distinction between
offensive" and defensive"
weapons. Now the Soviets are
back again with two ship
loads Of what they call de
fenSive" arms.
But the Monroe Doctrine
forbade any European power
from setting up any kind Of
military base or establishing
its system" IL this hemi-
sphere. Mr.. Kennedy ignored
the word system" and, in
effect. said 1t was all right
for the Soviets to impose the
Communist system on Cuba
so long as they didn't try to
take over any more Latin
American countries.
While Premier Khrushchev
took back his big missiles,
he left some ground-to-air
missiles. He didn't withdraw
his troops, now estimated by
some officials at 10000 and
by others at a figure consid-
erably higher. But why
should Soviet troops be sta
toned in Cuba at all? Why
should the people Of the
United States, especially in
the Southeastern region, be
subjected to potential threats
from military bases 80 miles
away from our shores?
Senator Kenneth Heating,
Republican of New York, told

Rockefeller has entered the

economics with a balanced
budget and pay-as-you-go
financing for his State. He
already had called for a
thorough public airing Of the
situation in Cuba.
His press conference fell
short of a formal announce
ment that he was a candi-
date for the Republican nomi-
nation for President, but only
just. The questions aimed at
him assumed that fact and
he never refuted it.
Albany reporters anticipate
no very great difficulties for
him in a legislative session
expected to last through
March. After that they will
pack their bags for jaunts
here, there and everywhere.
Meanwhile, the researchers
are busy. Apparently they
have learned the lesson Of
those extensive State-by-
State reviews which accom-
panied John F. Kennedy

November, 1856, to November,
1860.

A big question developing to-
day from newly adopted House
curbs on committee trips out
side the United States was
whether the Senate intends to
do anything about overseas
junketS.
A test could come later this
year. Representative Burleson,
Democrat Of Texas, told the
House yesterday that controls
1t voted on travel and use of
foreign counterpart funds by
committee members merely
scratched the surface of a seri-
Gus congressional problem.
Mr.. Burleson, chairman of
the House Administration Com
mittee, announced he would
introduce a Joint resolution
early next week for strict uni
form provisions on travel by
members of Congress. He said
this would include a require
ment for publication of de-
tailed travel expense accounting
by all committees in both
branches of Congress.
Affects Most Committees
The changes voted by the
House late yesterday on recon-
mendation of the Rules Com
mittee would apply to most
House committees. There were
no specific resolutions, how
ever, for the Committees on
Appropriations, Agriculture,
Ways and Means and Un-
American Activities or the
Rules Committee, itself.
One set of resolutions passed
by the House gave specific au-
thority to only four committees
to make foreign trips and use
counterpart funds to pay ex-
penses abroad. The travelling
legislators on such trips would

be limited to the same per diem
subsistence allowances as other
Government employees on for
eign trips.
The other group Of resolu-
tions applies to committees
without Jurisdiction to travel
abroad except in some cases to
Canada or United States ter
ritories. Chairmen of such COM
mittees could not authorize
themselves or other members
to travel outside the United
States and use counterpart
funds, which are local curren-
cies owned by the United States
in foreign countries.
Later Changes Possible
Rules Committee Chairman
Howard Smith, Democrat of
Virginia. assured the House
that exceptions could be made
later If necessary for overseas
travel by those committees,
under certain circumstances
In each case, the individual
committee chairman would
have to convince the Rules
Committee and the House that
the trip was necessary.
The changes we're praised by
most House committee chair
men and by many members,
They were adopted by voice
vote without apparent dissent,
Only two members voiced
protests. Representatives
Multer, Democrat of New York,
raised a point Of order that
the controls written into the
resolutions were not within the
Jurisdiction of the Rules Com
mittee. He contended also that
the restrictions on committee
activities amounted to an ad-
vance limitation on funds to
be appropriated later by the
House. He was overruled by
Speaker Mccormack.
