First Real Trouble for Mcnamara

His present difficulties re-
late to the Tx contract
only. but in examining it Sem
ators have given voice to
complaints that he is too die
tatorial and has injured
service morale. One Of his
defenders, Senator Proxmire
of Wisconsin, SCOTS that the
attacks are based on congress
sional Illustration because Mr..
Mcnamara has vetoed pet
congressional projects.
For good measure, Senator
Proxmire added that Mr.. Nc
Namara would make a good
President. which may or may
not be helpful to the embat-
tied Secretary. The Senator
did not answer the question
Of which party might nomi-
nate him.
The record does not make it
entirely clear either. Mr.. Nc
Namara came here as a politi-
cal Independent who had sup
ported Mr.. Kennedy. But he
also is described as having
supported chiefly Republicans
before that, including Gen.
Eisenhower. Senators Cooper
and Case and Paul Bagwell,
an unsuccessful Republican
candidate for Governor Of
Michigan.
Some national Republican
officials contend they have
found no evidence of his Re-
publican support. A smiling
Mr.. Mcnamara replies only
that he keeps his cancelled
checks carefully.

GouIlism's Exponse Stirs Some Doubts
AS to the Prerequisite SATELLITES
ERIC SEVAREID

The governments of the
West, our own included, have
been gazing with mild sur
mise at the limitless expanse
of Gaullism since he an
nounced Frances freehold
claim TO the future of Europe
on January IA. In these two
months the cries and criticism
have concentrated on his
threat to undo the Herculean
labors OF is years for Euro
pean unity and on the future
dangers Of a Europe once
again living and acting from
the nationalistic instinct and
nothing more.
Save In private, almost no
one of public consequence has
tried to answer the question
Of whether France has, or will
have the capacity to provide
consistent and lasting leader
ship for a Europe OF Father
lands" It is a seriously de-
batable question. II the pres
ent French government can
entertain dreams Of such an
elevated role, 1t is not only
becaus, Charles de Gaulle has
a stronger will than any cur
rent European statesman. but
because there is "a role wan
dering aimlessly about in
search Of a hero to play it"
to quote Canal Abdel Mas
ser from another context. Mr..
Nasser, however, in what may
have been a fitful gust Of
modesty, added that he did
not mean the role of leader
ship but Of "interaction and
experimentation" Gen. de
Gaulle means leadership.
The role is there by de-
fault. Britain chose not to
seize the leadership of Europe
at the close Of the war when
she alone wore the hero's
mantle, though whether she
had the strength to do il at
that time is another de-
batable question. Italy has
renowned any role of power
whatsoever and, indeed. re-
uncomfortable as a
spear carrier in the wings.

tated, but still on parole.

Defense Secretary Nc
Namara, recently voted the
ablest Kennedy appointee in
a poll of Congress, is in his
first real trouble with that
body. A Senate subcommittee
is demanding a fuller ex-
PLANTATION of the contract for
the new SOS billion Tx
fighter plane and seems
dissatisfied with his answers.
The situation is being
quietly but closely watched
by the political trade which
has noted that unlike most
man-rockets launched here,
Mr.. Mcnamara has shown
remarkable staying power.
The Secretary quit the
presidency of the Ford Motor
Co. when he joined the New
Frontier, and he will be only
AZ next June. The combina-
ton of vigorous middle age
plus his display of talent for
business and government are
bound to bring him atten-
ton for the biggest job of all.
Equally impressive is his abil-
ity to maintain his intimacy
with the President and the
Attorney General.
The Kennedys are a closely
held corporation in every re-
spect. including the political.

heavy shock, as France has
come apart in the past.
Gen. de Gaulle has said
that he cannot conceive of a
France without glory. I had
thought he meant that such
a France would not be his
kind Of France. But perhaps
he meant something very diff
ferent - that unless France
rides the crest in grandeur"
1t comes apart; that 1t lacks
the social cohesion to endure

Britain. for example, can en-
dure and yet remain Britain,
a homogeneous people.
A few great men Of gen.
erous vision like Jean Monnet
excepted, most Frenchmen,
from peasant to Paris intel
lectual, are spiritual isola-
tionists; they are driven by
centripetal, not centrifugal,
emotional forces, many Of
them TO the point Of undis-
guised contempt for the
American "do-good" psychol-
ogy and tradition. Rightly or
wrongly. any number Of visi-
tors to France share the i'm
preston that they distrust
and dislike foreigners because
they distrust and dislike one
another. For the most part,
they seem profoundly disin-
terested in other lands and
peoples.
That is their privilege: and
this is not to say that our
own quite different faults
work less hardship on others.
1t is to say that a people so
constituted are not natures

1t is to say that a man who
believes power is everything
in diplomacy has a long way
yet to go before he can con-

cal power Of France rests on
social foundations depend

DAVID LAWRENCE

Members of Congress of
both parties have for months
expressed serious concern
over the possibility Of open
military aggression by Com
munist forces against the
nations Of this hemisphere.
A realistic appraisal of the
present situation and a rec
ommendation as TO what
should be done have Just
come in a unanimous report
from the Committee on For
eign Affairs of the House of
Representatives. All nine
members Of the Subcommit-
tee on Inter American
Affairs - both Republicans
and Democrats - signed the
report.
The committee findings are
that, even though the Castro
Communist forces in Cuba
are incapable without out
side assistance Of success
fully mounting an offensive"
blow, this docs not minimize
the Communist threat to
inter-American security" The
committee then says bluntly
that mo plan for collective
action against Communist
subversive aggression has
been put into effect" by the
countries of the hemisphere.
The report points out that,
because no clear and unified
hemisphere policy dealing
with the Castro Communist
subversive aggression has
been developed. some of the
members Of the Organization
of American States have
not devised effective internal
methods of controlling sub
versive traffic in and through
their territories"
1t is asserted emphatically
that. Cuba's dependence on
the Soviet Union is complete
and that the regime sis in
fact controlled and operated
by trained professional
agents FROM the Soviet bloc"
The House subcommittee re-
port states fatty that 1.-THE
Soviet Union must be held

a France blessed by some in
dividual leaders and thinkers
OF brilliance, a France finally
cleared Of an unmanageable
and unmanaged empire, a
France with the beginnings Of
modern military power, with
a modernized, efficient indus
try, but, underneath all this
plaster, a France that may
still suffer hemorrhage at
any moment from social
wounds unhealed since World
War I and possibly since the
French Revolution.
One generalizes about a
whole people, especially a
people as gifted as the French
at his own risk, but 1t seems
to me from considerable
French residence that there
exists in France a deep seated
social disorder. It was shock
ingly revealed at the time of
the Dreyfus case, again in
the squalid defeat OF 1910,
again in the incredibly messy
panorama Of Algeria, with
Frenchman against French
man; and the organized plots
to kill Gen. de Gaulle still
suggest implacable hatreds
between groups and classes.
Can this poisoning of the
blood be cured in the 10 years

to wonder, and to wonder II
the nation which has oscil-
lated so very long between
political authoritarianism
and semi-anarchy, which has
never achieved internal peace,
can preside over the external
peace of Europe.
1t has always seemed to me
that France is not much
more of a true community of
men with a common sense of
identity and general purpose

me add, 1t is determined to
keep the Cold War out of
Africa. We support the United
Nations because It is the

There was deep and sincere
applause. (This reporter felt
a thrill Of pride in his words.)
Few, indeed, are the Afri-
cans who want the Cold War
on their continent. There are.
to be sure, Communist Party
members who support at

bring here the chill and the
paralysis Of that conflict
which, since l947, has en-

Notes from The Congo:

What is going to happen
in the Republic OF the Congo
where the United Nations,
servant Of the world, has
won. with the support Of the
United States, a victory for
decency and integrity against
divisive forces which, in due
time, will be even more
plainly exposed than now?
The answer is that no one
knows. The balance Is deli
cate. There could be a slow
tortuous advance toward ma
tional unity and effort. Or
there could be a dis-integra-
ton into chaos. 1t may be
said that the needs which
press so heavily and so ur-
gently on all the African peo-
Piles are here the more acute
and demanding. The achieve
ments in The Congo are real
ly impressive. But what lies
ahead depends largely upon
the willingness Of more de-
veloped nations to continue
assistance and support OF the
U. N. We now have begin
nings. They are good. But
they are in precarious bal
ance.
The fifth session OF the
U. MS Economic Commission
for Africa met in the Parlia-
ment Building in Leopold
Vile. Walter M. Kotschnig,
able and veteran observer, OF
the United States, spoke.
1.-THE tasks ahead in this
country and In most other
parts OF Africa are stagger-

poverty may make q mockery

vidual," he continued, 80 the

that is economically weak

placed in jeopardy. In Its

icas."
1t adds that the violent
overthrow Of existing gov
ernments remains the unified
aim Of Communist forces in
Latin America" which In
clude both the Soviet and
Chinese branches OF inter-
national communism"
But what TO do about it7
The subcommittee makes
four principal recommended
tons, as follows:
81. In accord with the
Joint resolution Of Congress,
october 3. 1862, section (A), ,
immediate steps should be
taken by the United States
to prevent by whatever
means may be necessary, in
cluding the use OF arms, the
Marxist-Leninist regime in
Cuba from extending, by
force or the threat Of force,
its aggressive or subversive
activities to any part Of the
hemisphere
20. The United States
should be prepared to act
with military force, If needed,
in response to the request
for help and assistance of
any nation Of the hemisphere
in danger Of being over
thrown by Castro Communist
subversive aggression. This
recommendation is in no way
to be considered as a SUBJ
stitute for or a bar to uni
lateral action by the United
States in defense of its own
security.
"3. Every effort must be
made by the United States to
assure collective action by
the Organization OF Ameri-
can States. and by GAS mem
Der states individually, to-
ward the curbing Of Castro
Communist subversive activi-
ties and traffic in the hem
isphere.
a. The United States
should seek the complete
diplomatic and economic
quarantine Of Communist
Cuba by other nations of the
hemisphere"

tural. There is slow increase
in this area. 1t is the persist
ent weakness Of primary
commodities markets that
presents the major challenge.
The Congo is the great
boom region Of the future.
Whether the future will be
Soviet or that of q slowly,
painfully, developing inde-
pendent nation depends on
events in this and the next
few years. The Soviets have
suffered a defeat. They did
not believe the United Ma
tons would be able to halt
the Katanga .secessionists. Il
did. Now Moscow plans anew.
The prize is great.
In 1853, for example, the
Belgian Congo exported $500
million worth Of goods, mostly
from the varied mineral
mines. The Congo has pro-
duced half Of the worlds
uranium and 70 per cent of
its industrial diamonds. There
are here reserves Of copper.
cobalt, zinc, manganese.
tungsten and gold to supply
the industrial world for more
than a century to come.
Belgian colonialism did not
provide even the most ele-
mentary political training.
Colonialism everywhere used
tribal rivalries TO sustain its
position. There is now a har-
vest Of this policy. The Congo
has more than 100 major
tribal interests. This is one
OF the factors which compli-
Gates and presently renders
almost impotent the govern
ment Of Cyrille Adoula.

Early Alaskan's Rites Conducted

w. E.. (Billy) Austin, pioneer Alaskan and long time resident of the Kenai Peninsula, died last Monday in White Salmon, Wash, at the home of his niece, Mrs. Ida Reed He had moved to Wash ington from Hope last summer because of his i'll health.
 Austin, 80, a pioneer Alaska miner, at one time operated freight boat business in Kenai and was regarded as one of the first to engage in the shipping trade up and down the coasts of Cook Inlet. He later lived at Susitna and then at Hope, though in re- cent years it was only the sum- mer months he spent there.
 Uncle Billy as he was known to many of his friends, was born in Winters, Calf, on April 29, 1882 and came to Alaska with his parents shortly after the turn of the century. His parents operated a hotel at Valdez and he worked in the mines. Beaver trapping. mining and freighting occupied much of his life. His wife preced- ed him in death few years ago.
 Burial rites, including Masonic services, were conducted at White Salmon.
