To fill q crying need, I've
been collecting notes for q
new chapter Of my book,
Strange Native Customs in
Washington and other Saw
age Lands. The need, Of
course, is for romance. You
can't sell a book without 1t.
Unfortunately, during
years Of research in this
backward culture, the word
never cropped UP. And I had
come to the reluctant conclu-
sion 1t was not part Of native
vocabulary, they having no
need for it in their premordi-
al savagery. What a shame.
How would I sell my book?
So imagine my delight to
hear the natives at last using
a word which sings with TO
nance, which sparkles with
romance word which is
the very essence Of romance:
Honeymoon"
All, honeymoon! Surely. I
thought as I set forth eager
ly with notebook in hand,
even a Washington honey
moon must simply reek Of ro-
nance.
Well, no, it turns out. it
doesn't. Actually, the Wash
ington Honeymoon bears no
resemblance at all to a hon.
eymoon in civilized countries.

even these talks by reference
to the decisions taken BY
these men after they left the
Presidents office.
All the discussions be-
tween President Kennedy
and the Joint Chiefs Of Staff
are carefully summarized.
Apart from other procedures,
1t was customary at their
meetings for notes to be kept
by one Of the Presidents mil
itary aides.
As might have been expect
ed, there was very little ex-
change Of documentary ma
terial between President
Kennedy and Attorney Cen
eral Robert Kennedy. except
on official business with the
Department of Justice. The
relationship between the two
brothers was too close and
too continuous for any re-
lance to be placed on written
exchanges. but 1t will be
amazing If the three most
valuable witnesses of the
work of the Kennedy admin
iStration do not turn out to
be Robert Kennedy. Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy, and Mr..
Sorensen.
Since he insisted on de-
tailed economic reports,
there Is much written ma
terial on President Kennedy's
discussions with Douglas Dill
lon and Walter Heller. On
the formulation Of United
Nations policy. and on Mr..
Stevenson's role, invaluable
guidance can be provided by
Mr.. Schlesinger and Harlan
Cleveland of the State De-
partment.
Every cabinet member was
encouraged to keep a written
record Of important discus
sions and decisions. BY
Thursday evening Of each
week every department and
major agency had to submit
q report to the President for
his weekend reading.
There is a complete file on
Mr.. Kennedy's years in the
Senate. Everything Of impor-
lance on the 1860 campaign
has been kept. So has every
single draft of any speech on
which he made any change.
The personal files Of Presi-
dent Kennedy as kept by
Mrs. Evelyn Lincoln, his Sec
rotary. are in filing cabinets
roughly $50 feet in total
depth. The more formal re-
cords would fill at least 500
filing cabinets.
In summary, there Is am
pie material to tell the full
story Of the Kennedy admin
istration; and people are
available now in the admins
tration to tell 1t with grace =,
with authority, and with dis
tinction.

President Kennedy dis

his finest qualities. This gift,
exercised so generously, can

The most serious omissions
in the documentary records
of the Kennedy admins

The record begins to improve

INTERPRETIVE REPORT
New Wet Nam Mess RISING

that the American Embassy
would assure him his safety"
When a Catholic priest got
william Trueheart, deputy
chief Of mission, out of a din
ner party to ask why the prom
ise had not been kept, he was
told there had been a misun-
derstanding." But there has
been a curious silence on the
part of the embassy concerning
the military junta'S promise to
assure Mr.. Can of due process
Of law" At the end Of Novem-
Der, Mr.. Can had not yet seen
charges against him, and the
American Embassy had shown
no visible sign Of trying to
pressure the junta into living
up to its word.
Query q. S. Silence
There are many Wet NameSe
who ask why the embassy and
the State Department, who
were so vocal about Mr.. Diem,
have been so quiet about the
newest wave Of repreSsions.
This is a question that Presi-
dent johnson Is entitled to
preSs-even If it is embarrass-
ing to those Americans in Sal
gon and Washington who feel a
certain sense of responsibility
for the military junta because
it Is in power by their encour-
agement.
Indeed, in leaving Wet Nam,
this reporter gained the
impression that the three per-
sons most anxious for the coup
d'etat-Ambassador Lodge. IN
derSecretary Of State Harri-
man, and Far Eastern Assis-
tant Secretary of State Roger
HilSman-had unleaShed forces
that are turning out far differ
ent than they foresaw.
One thing is clear. The
American image in Asia is not
going to profit from a kind of
double standard that helps get
rid of one government in the
name Of ending police repres-
sion and then stays silent as
the new government invokes
the same tactics.

At the height Of the Bud
dhiSt crisis last summer, the
leaders Of the Quangnai pago-
da approached Mr.. Tat and in
formed him that the Buddhist
leaders at the Xaloi pagoda in
Saigon had ordered them to go
on a 72-hour hunger strike.
The local Buddhists added,
that while they had nothing
against Mr.. Tat, they could not
very well disobey an order from
their religious higher-ups in
Saigon.
Aided Hunger Strikers
After a hurried conference
with Mai. John Kelly, Ameri-
can sector advisor in Quangnai,
Mr.. Tat told the BuddhistS that
while he regretted their deter
mination to go on a hunger
strike, he would do everything
possible to make their expe-

With Maj. Kelly's help, he
brought in blankets. fruit juices
and medical attendants. And

President johnson Is faced
with a new and ugly mess in
Wet Nam. And 1t is going to
come increasingly to light de-

in Saigon to brush it under the

The newest situation causing
concern is the police terror
that the military junta has
launched, and that has already
reached hundreds Of hapleSS

thrown into Jail without notifi-
cation to their families, with

even being told the charges
against them.
With few exceptions, the
only apparent reason is the
suspicion that the imprisoned
Wet Namese did their duty in
carrying out, prior to the coup,
the orders of the then duly
constituted authority, the late
President Diem. In a word,
they had been loyal.
On a tour of Wet Nam in
November, this reporter talked
to a half-dozen persons who
had lost relatives to the mill

the atmosphere Of fear, that in

The Securities and Exchange
Commission issued a stop-order
last night prohibiting public
sale of 10000 shares Of Allan
tic Research Corp, which are
involved in suits against the
company totaling more than 81
million.
The order eliminates a
years investigation by the
commission and states its off,
cial decision on staff charges
levelled against the company's
1862 registration statement
which was filed to permit three
mutual funds. a corporation
and a partnership to resell I'M

in a proposed secondary offer

In one Of the most caustic
decisions in SEC history, the
stop-order summarized omis-

ment, which under the securi-
ties laws must outline all pert
inent facts about the compa-
ny's condition in order to quail
fly for a proposed public sale.
The order did not stop trad

lied already publicized def
ciencies in the 1862 registration

 The PARAGON's crew tagged and released 2,996 king crabs west of Kodiak Island and south of 57' N. Lat.

KODIAK, ALASKA, MARCH 8, 1863

2,876 crabs were tagged south of the Alaska Peninsula by the International North Pacific Halibut Commission during trawl survey of this area in 1861 and 1862. Of the crabs released during this survey, 428 have been returned so far. The combined tagging Op- erations for the two years have resulted in the marking and re- lease of 8,719 crabs of which 675 have been returned by commercial fishermen to date. Tagged crabs are now out from north of Kodiak Island to west of the Shumagir Islands.
 One tag returned the first week in February had been placed on king crab in 1857 by the Bureau. Three tags from this group of 1900 crabs tagged and released in 1857 have been returned since Novem- Der, 1862. This earlier study shows that tags placed on crabs in 1862 may continue to show up for at least five years. Accurate analysis of king crab tagging data depends on tag returns that come in over a long period of time.
 RETURNS LOW
 Dr. Kirkwood explained that the number of tag returns is low be- cause the US. Bureau of Commer- cial Fisheries purposely avoids tagging crabs in the fishery. He emphasized that Bureau biologists have tagged crabs only in areas out side those presently being fished to determine whether or not crabs offshore move into the fishery or stay offshore as separate stocks. The Bureau study is aimed at de- lining the geographic range and movements of these crab stocks so biologists can determine the per centage of each offshore stock now being harvested.
 Because of the low number of returns expected, each tag recap tured provides vital information on crab movements. The success of the entire study now depends on a continuation of the fine CO., operation and support already be- ing received from fishermen in the Kodiak area Anyone catching tagged king crab to record the tag number. location and date of capture and to give this informa ton and the crab to Guy Powell, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Kodiak, Alaska. A reward of two dollars will be paid for each tagged crab turned in with accom- panying recovery information.
