Senator Humphrey Of Min

have the administrators tax

taken up separately instead OF

he said has drawn favorable

Senator Humphrey, assist

said in an interview that "as

President may be willing to
shoot only for tax cuts this
year in the face Of rising OPP
position to his tax program.
There have beeen calls from
both sides Of the partisan aisle
for the administration to di-
vorce its proposed $l3.6 billion
tax cut from the proposed tax
revisions that would bring the
Government an estimated $3.4
billion a year.
Senator Humphrey said Mr.
Kennedy coupled tax cuts with
revision at the behest Of the
Treasury Department.
This generated a flood Of

FOREIGN correspondent Of The Star


PARIS, Feb. 16.-Within the last
month, the shape Of the challenge
laid down by Charles de Gaulle on
January IA has become clearer.
There is still, to be sure, no lack
of confusion. The period has been
marked by anger and emotionalism
rather than serious thought. The
effort to define exactly what Gen.
de Gaulle is trying TO do, his chances
OF succeeding and the implications for
the West II he does succeed is only
now beginning.
One thing, however, can be said
with dispaSsionate certainty: II Gen.
de Gaulle succeeds in reaching his
announced detectives, the Western
Alliance as 1t has existed since World
War II is in for a drastic overhaul.
Either Gen. de Gaulle will fail or else
the character Of the Alliance-and
above all the guiding policies Of the
present American administration to-
ward Europe-will have TO be revised
in a number Of important respects.
This knowledge does not result en-
tirely from the experience OF the last
month.
More than two years ago, a senior
American diplomat coolly summed up
the problem that confronted the
United States:
American influence in Europe" he

acceptable TO the Alliance as a whole
or else they are not. II they are
acceptable the concept of the Alliance
itself will have To change In order TO
conform to them. II they are not the
most prompt and decisive counter
measures are called for.
These counter measures no doubt
have already been carefully assessed
by State Department planners. They
include, among other possibilities,
proceeding as II neither Gen. de
Gaulle nor France really existed, try
ing to organize Europe around them
and encouraging the highly vocal
opposition which Gen. de Gaulle's
ideas and highhanded methods in
spire among European political
leaders.
In the long run, however, mere
obstruction is clearly not enough.
What Is needed is a countervision
which Is equally attractive and con-
vincing. Gen. de Gaulle has laid down
a blueprint for Europe which Euro
peans-whateve their resentments
and worries-must ultimately respond
TO. And in soliciting their response
the general shows as much disdain
for the political leaders OF Europe as
he does for the politicians Of France

tagging intelligent discussion of
the impact on the economy of
a tax cut" Senator Humphrey
said. He added:
1T is my view that in the
national interest we must above
all, even at the sacrifice Of tax
reform, get a tax cut bill on the
books this year"
But Republican opposition tn
the administration program
seemed to be hardening.
Representative Miller Of New
York, Republican national
chairman, said in a Los Angeles
interview:

siles."

changed is that French diplomacy
since last month has entered a new
and active phase.
Instead Of talk, positive practical
steps have been taken toward the

steps will most surely follow in the
near future.
The basic question, however, re-
mains unanswered. Either Gen. de

Justice Goldberg. the newest
member of the court, said the
two sections were invalid be-
cause Congress employed the
sanction Of loss Of citizenship
as a punishment for draft dod-

raj safeguards guaranteed by
the Fifth and Sixth Amend
ments to the Constitution.
Safeguard Citizens
These amendments, he said,
were intended to safeguard
persons from punishment with
out trial by duly constituted
courts.
The gist of today's ruling was
that the need for due process
of law in such cases outweighed
the ends sought by Congress.
Justice Goldberg was Joined

Justices Douglas, Black and

unconstitutional.

Corvette Sent Out
To Bring Freiehter
Into Port of BeIem


BELEM, Brazil, Feb. 10 (AP).
Under constant United States
air and sea watch, the hijacked
Venezuelan freighter Anzoate-
gui was anchored in Brazilian
waters today with her pro-
Communist captors reported
ready to surrender to Brazil.
The Brazilian Navy Ministry
ordered a Brazilian corvette to
conduct the freighter to Belem.
Brazil has indicated that the
insurgents who seized the An
zoategui will be given asylum
and not turned over to Vene-
zuela.
Wilmar Medina Rojas, leader
Of the band that seized the
ship on the high seas last
Wednesday, was quoted by
Havana radio as sending this
message to Rio de Janeiro:
I'VE are anchored in the ter
ritorial waters Of Brazil be-
tween the mouth of the River
Amapa and Maraca Island. We
are awaiting Brazilian author
tiles aboard. Signed, Wilmar
Medina Rojas."
300 Miles From Belem
Maraca Island is about 300
miles northwest of Belem. The
river flows into the sea near
the northern tip Of the island.
The naval base here earlier
announced that Brazilian ships
were keeping watch on the 3d.

destroyer, the Bertioga, was
putting out from Belem on an
ocean survey mission. The navy
base said she could easily be
diverted TO the Anzoategui.

An American B-26 combat
plane shot down a few weeks
ago in the Mekong delta told
much about the nature Of the
undeclared war in Wet Nam.
Before American or Wet Ma

had stripped the plane clean
Of ammunition, radios, first
aid kits, even the clothes off
the bodies of four dead Ameri-
can crew members. Most i'm

eight 50-caliber machine guns.
From that day on, American
and Wet Namese intelligence
and operations maps have car
ried small crosses, sometimes
along the east coast of the
Camau peninsula, sometimes
inland along the many canals

those eight lost guns have been
sighted or are believed to be.
They are supposed to have
been camouflaged and mount

been spotted for sure.

when they approach places
marked with the crosses. Air

them a wide berth.

Martin said, 1.-The Castro re-
game has shifted the emphasis
Of its campaign in Latin
America to one of open en-
couragement of terror as a
principal weapon, a move die
tated by the loss Of popular
support as a result of the
crisis"
Mr.. Martin spoke for an
hour and Is minutes before
the House Latin American Sub
committee and a packed public
gallery. He gave the most COM
prehensive review of Com
muniSt tactics in Latin Amer
lea to come from the Kennedy
administration to date.
China Influence Noted
Mr.. Martin said the Sino-
Soviet conflict over Commu-
mist tactics in underdelevoped
countries is being reflected in
deep divisions in Latin Ameri-
can Communist Parties. The
division is over whether to
take the Soviet-recommended
peaceful road" to power
through infiltration and sub
version, or the Chinese Castro
way of guerrilla attacks and
about violence,
Mr.. Martin detailed the four
directions of Cuban subversive
activities in Latin America:
/. Formation of front or
carnations" throughout the
hemisphere "for the defense of
the Cuban revolution"
2. An intensive propaganda
campaign through printed ma
tariaI and powerful radio
broadcasts.
3. Covert material support,
largely financial, to local sub
versive groups.
4. Indoctrination in training
of hundreds Of Latin Ameri-
cans in Cuba.
Continuing Problem Seen
But Mr.. Martin also noted
that local Communist parties in
Latin America "had a life and
force of their own" and will
continue to be a problem even
when the present Castro re-
gime Is no longer with us.
Mr.. Martins words come on
the eve Of a state visit here to-
morrow by Venezuelan Presi-
dent Romulo Betancourt, and
Mr.. Martin laid great stress
throughout his presentation on
the fact that Venezuela has be-
come a prime target Of Castro
Communist terrorism.
In the second half of his re-
port, Mr.. Martin outlined the
two directions Of the counter
attack against Communist ac-
tivity which the United States
is promoting.
