ly in moderately active trading
early this afternoon.
The market was going
through a period Of caution
after the rally of late last week
and was carrying through a
pattern which has prevailed
the last few Mondays, despite
underlying good news.
Motors were narrowly mixed,
steels mostly lower, tobaccos
generally higher.
Rails moved up a bit on bal.
ailce following news Of a merg-
er plan involving Rock Island,
Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific.
Rock Island was up a frac-
ton and Union Pacific was off
a fraction as the stocks re-
acted mildly to the proposed
plan under which .718 Of q
common share Of Union Pacific
will be exchanged for each
common share Of Rock Island.
Southern Pacific, which would
acquire certain Rock Island
trackage, was steady.
TobaccoS seemed to be firmed
by word Of another price In
crease - American Tobacco's
rise in the wholesale price Of
its Lucky Strike cigarettes.
Prices on the American
Stock Exchange were irregu-
larly higher In fairly active
trading.

Petrosyon Takes Title
In Chess World Series

MOSCOW, May 81 (APl,-
Tigran PetroSyan is beginning
q reign as world chess king
that many experts believe will
be as long and successful as
that Of the man he succeeds.
The 33-year-old Armenian
dethroned aging and ailing
Mikhail Botvinnik In q two
month duel between the two
Soviet Union grand masters
that ended yesterday. Their
22d game ended in a draw on
the 18th move, giving Mr..
Petrosyan the one-half point
he needed to clinch the title.
Mr.. Petrosyan won five games
in the 24-game championship
series. lost two and drew in
IS. totaling 121a points to 91a
for Mr.. Botvinnik.
Before q hushed crowd Of
1000 ct q Moscow variety the
ater, the two Soviet masters
finished their series. After the
10th move, Mr.. PetroSyan Of
fered Q draw, but the 5l-year-
old defending champion de-
clined. Again after the 18th,
the challenger proposed a draw.
After is minutes, Mr.. Botvin-
mix reached across the board
and shook his rivals hand.
Mr.. Botvinnik had been the
top man In chess since World
War II. After winning the
world title in 1948, he yielded
1t temporarily to Russians
Vastly Smyslov In 1948 and
Mikhail Tai In 1857. but re-
gained 1t in rematches.
Mr.. Petrosyan, q native Of
Tbilisi, Georgia, began chess at

reer In the game. He was q
master at IS and an interna-
tional grand master at 23,
after winning the champion
ships Of his home city. Of Ar

II ! may refer once again to
this Nations response to the
presence of Soviet missiles in
Cuba last October. this deci-
sion was not wholly developed
during the seven days preced-
ing It's announcement.
President Kennedy, on the
morning of the first Of those
seven days, sent for copies Of
all his earlier statements on
Cuba - on the presence Of
offensive. as distinguished from
defensive, weapons - on
threats to our vital interests -
and on our armed intervention
in that island. These earlier
decisions made It unlikely that
he would respond to the Octo-
Der crisis by doing nothing and
unlikely that his first step
would be an invasion.
Here, too, the Nations basic
commitment to tradition and
principle was involved. An air
strike on military installations
in Cuba, without any advance
warning. was rejected Is Q
Pearl Harbor In reverse"-and
no one could devise q form Of
advance warning (other than
the quarantine itself. which
was q type Of warning) that
would not leave this Nation
vulnerable to either endless dis
cusSion and delay (while work
on the missiles went forward
or to Q harsh Indictment in
the opinion and history Of the
world.
Consistency on Berlin
Similarly, In the summer Of
1861, our diplomatic and mill
tary responses to each aggra-
vation in West Berlin were kept
consistent with general allied
policy in the area.
And the fiscal questions this
crisis posed are an example Of
two prior commitments in con-
flict. A tax cut at that time,
while 1t might have strength
ened the economy at o crucial
moment. could not be included
in an emergency program for
increasing burdens and effort;
while q tax increase, though 1t
might have helped pay for ris-
ing defense costs, would have
been incompatible with the

special congressional session.
The lonely decision was his ---
and he made 1t in good time.
Deadlines
Under any President, life in
the White House is a series Of
headlines: A new measure to
be proposed before the old law
expires; an executive order to
be issued while the Congress is
out Of session; a dispute to be
resolved before the Presidents
next press conference.
At times, the President will
deliberately impose q deadline
as a means Of limiting debate.
When the time and topic Of q
televised speech have been an
nounced, for example. depart
ments concerned with that
subject, however laggard they
may have been up to then, will
make certain that their views
are crystallized and forcefully
presented.
The fourth set Of limitations
are the limits Of previous COM
mitments - including the COM
mitmentS or principles Of the
Nation or party, the commit
ments or precedents Of an ear
lier President, the commitments
or decisions of q subordinate
official, and the statements Of
the President himself.
OF all these, party platforms
and campaign promises are
often the least confining-for
they are usually worded by both
parties with sufficient art to
permit some elasticity. II not
evasion.
On the other hand, even
though they come from differ
ent political parties, Q President
will find that his predecessors
guarantee of some little ma
tons military security, for ex-
ample, is not easily reversed,
no matter how greatly the prob
lem has changed.
Similarly, the actions Of that
predecessor may set q prece-
dent which the Nation assumes
will be followed - as, for ex-
ample, in the use Of Federal
troops to enforce court ordered
desegregation, or the release Of
detailed information on the
Presidents physical ailments.
President Kennedy's success.
sor, regardless Of party, will
find 1t difficult to reverse the
Nations present course in space
or in Latin America. Whatever
the merits Of these various de-
cisions, it is clear that no Presi-
dent starts out with q clean
slate before him.
And even after he is in Of
flee. he cannot easily reverse q
promise made by a subordinate
- by an ambassador on for

on the recognition of q new

stature in the host country is
