Congress-:
Mill Turns

After more than seven months
of inactiOn. the House and Sem
ate began showing signs of life
last week, passing half q dozen
measures. Among them was q
$1.2 billion military pay raise.
''It is said that it has sunk In
public esteem, that it retains only
residual control over the Admin
istration, that the. populace knows
less and cares less about what Is
going on there, that It's procedures
are time-wasting and obsolete.
that it is out Of touch, that It is
hag-ridden by the (party) whips,
that it is unsuited to grapple
with or even to identity the real
problems confronting society,
that it is almost wholly deficient
in scientific understanding, that
the quality Of its members has
declined, and that they lead q
dogs life anyway"
If it's any consolation to mem
bers Of Congress, the above words
appeared recently in the London
Times and described not Capitol
Hill but the British House Of
Commons.
AS If jabbed into action by its
conscience however. the American
legislature began passing bills
last week after an incredibly arid
1868. One Of the most i'm
portart was a pay hike to bolster
sagging morale among servicemen.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-11
Pressure Charge

There have been reports that
DR.. Adenauer's hesitancy on sign
ing may in part be due to pres
sure, perhaps indirect, from Presi-
dent de Gaulle. France has said
the test treaty is fine for others,
but not for itself.s
In connection with Franco-Ger-
man relations, the visit to Bonn
by the Italian leaders produced
an interesting declaration that
would appear to draw the Ger
mans a little further apart from
France on the question Of Brit
ain and the Common Market.
The Italian and German lead
ers said they welcomed the agree
ment to establish regular politi-
cal and economic contacts with
Great Britain in the Western Eu-
ropean Union and expressed their
determination to intensity them.
In another shaft some observ-
ers feel was aimed at Gen. de
Gaulle, Mr.. Segni said:
Our action is both European
and Atlantic. because Europe can
not be an entity egotistically
locked within herself, but must be
united by ties Of fraternal and
equal partnership with the United
States"
France. Of course, has been aim
ing at the reduction Of United
States influence in European af-
fairs and the ultimate construc-
ton Of an independent third force
on the continent.

First in Years

The first general raise for troops
in five years. it sailed through
the Senate in an $40 vote. More
generous than a House version
passed last May. it would grant
raises costing $1.2 billion q year
all down the line from four star
generals (from $22.5 to $685.
a year base pay) to corporals
(from 5000 to $2.460 o year,
On the theory that privates and
apprentice seamen with less than
two years service aren't career
men. the bill omitted them.
Whichever version reaches the
White House will get q quick
signature. President Kennedy had
asked for the raise, stressing that
inadequate income and housing
were hurting military morale.
Among other developments:
Q The Senate voted SIS billion

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-11

Actually, the need for any fur
ther brawliI1g on the issue may be
avoided before customs men start
collecting. Hearings by Christian
A. Herter, the Presidents special
representative for trade negotia-
tons, will not begin until Septem-
Der 4, and the tariff hikes could
not go into effect before mid
October.
If the United States is really
serious. West Germans pointed
out, its hot-tempered reaction
may endanger negotiations for
possible broad tariff reductions
next year.
Washington, rumbled an EEC
official. has created an ultima
tum" atmosphere that makes a
solution much more difficult.
Ironically, the proposed raise is
the first American action to in
. crease tariffs since 1862 Trade
Expansion Act giving President
Kennedy power to bargain for
tariff cuts.

Criticism

She had earlier given an inter-
view in which she discussed In
bitter terms the current dispute
between the Buddhists and her
brother-in-law's regime. What
was particularly criticized was her
statement that the Buddhists had
"barbecued" an "intoxicate d"
monk with imported gasoline"
This was q reference to the re-
cent fiery suicide Of a 73-year-
old priest on q Saigon street.
Tran Van Chuong, the South
Wet Nam Ambassador to WASH
ington. who is Madame Mus
father, repudiated her statement,
saying that she did not speak for
the government.
This reputation failed to silence
the woman who is being called
the EVA Peron" Of Southeast
Asia. In an interview with the
New York Times, she said: IT
would beat the BONES Buddhist
monks) 10 times more" At the
same time, she voiced her charge
that the United States had tried
to blackmail the Saigon regime.

fascination has not, unhappily,
contributed to the understanding
abroad Of the chaos in Laos or
the political jam in South Wet
Nam.
In Laos, for example. we have
had the three Princes-Souvanna
Phouma, his half brother Souph-
anouvong. and Boun Gum. There
is also Gen. Phoumf Novasan and
King Savang Vathana.
South Wet Nam has its list,
too, and it is presently drawing
the greater attention - particu-
larly from policymakers in the
Kennedy administration. There Is
President Ngo Dinh Diem and his
brothers. Ngo Dinh Nhu, Arch
bishop Ngo Dinh THUG and Ngo
Dinh Can. There is also q woman
Of the clan ana she is q growing
concern to the United States Gov
eminent and. apparently, also to
President Diem. Her name Is
Madame Nhu.
Last week Madame Nhu, who
has no official post in Saigon
but who exerts considerable in
fluence, charged that the United
States had threatened and black
mailed" the Diem regime in an
effort Ito shut me up"

Long Road

Officials on both sides have
cautioned against an exaggerated
euphoria In the present circum-
stances.
Mr.. Rusk and the President
have indicated that it may take
months Of hard negotiations and
probing before an additional move
to lessen tensions can be taken.
Certainly, the extremely thorny
question Of Berlin seems no nearer
solution today than 1t was before
the test ban pact.
Mr.. Khrushchev sounded his
note OF caution by saying: zone
cannot cut down an oak with one
slash of the axe" Lord Home
put II this way: ut will not be
easy. don't think that, but we
must press on"
The 2la-hour Khrushchev- Rusk
chat will probably be followed up
next month by further Rusk-
Gromyko talks at the u. N. Gen.
eral Assembly session in New York.
Normal diplomatic channels viii
also be used to continue the
probing for possible advances.
The general feeling. however. is
that the Russians and Mr.. Khru-
shchev are in no great hurry to
take the second step" toward a
detente with the West-possibly
until the Soviet Unions relations
with Red China are stabilized, for
better or for worse. According to
some reports, Picking is now the
Kremlin's major concern.
But II there was uncertainty
on any next step toward q Soviet
Western detente, there was also
rising confidence In the compile
ton Of the first one.
British and Soviet ratification
Of the treaty is more or less rou-
tine. Not SO in the United States.
Two-thirds Of those members Of
the Senate present and voting
must cast affirmative ballots In
order TO achieve ratification. But
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-11
Speculation

Mr.. Rusk, of course, did no ne
gotiating at Gagra and in the
absence of any communique the
precise subjects he and Mr.. Khru-
shchev covered are necessarily
left to speculation.
But from known interests Of
the United States and previous
statements by the Soviet, Premier
these and other major East-West
issues probably were covered:
The future Of divided Berlin
and divided Germany; Soviet
proposal for q non-aggression
pact between NATO and the War
saw pact countries; methods for
reducing defense spending; plans
for guarding against the danger
Of surprise attack and Laos.
Whether Mr.. Rusk took the OPP
portunity to impress upon the
Russian leader Americas keen in
terest in the removal Of Soviet
troops from Cuba is not known.
Mr.. Khrushchev's rather sud-
den decision to sign q test ban
treaty turned out to be q distinct
domestic political aid to the en-
battled Harold Macmillan, the
