DAVID LAWRENCE

A major change in Ameri-
can military foreign policy
is under way. 1t is develop
ing gradually. The objective
is to maintain Allied unity
and yet decrease the expense
for the American people with
respect to the maintenance
Of United States troops in
Europe, which costs about 81
billion a year. This country
has spent at least $50 bill
lion for the defense Of Eu-
rope since World War II
ended. There are still more
than l million Americans
soldiers and their families
stationed overseas.
The first step in changing
policy comes this week in the
form of a test whereby an
armored division of $4,000
men is airlifted from the
United States to Germany
within 70 hours. Theoretically
this might mean that Amer
lean troops could be with
drawn from Europe and de-
pendence placed hereafter on
the quick transport of divi-
sions by air. But that's not
the present purpose. It is
rather to demonstrate that,
If the Western allies build up
their own troop divisions, the
United States could be de-
pended upon for prompt re-
endorsements in an emer-
gency. Virtually all Of the
American divisions on duty in
Europe might then be with
drawn. but this isn't the
present intention.
The main idea now is to
persuade Western Europe,
which has $50 million popu-
lation and a booming econ
omy, that the time is at hand
to begin taking over more Of
the military load and ex-
pense from the United States.
What does all this mean
in the face of the growing
realization that a nuclear war
means mutual suicide? First,
when the treaty banning GER
tain nuclear tests was signed
recently. the military stra-
tegists did not stop thinking
of the prospect of war. Sec
ond. they became even more
concerned over limited war"

There Is a realistic recogni-
ton Of the fact that recur-
ring friction is potentially
capable of producing armed
conflict. The problem will be
to keep limited war" from
becoming unlimited" Gen.
Eisenhower during his two
terms as President of the
United States considered
preparations for Limited
war" as secondary and en-
phasized instead a buildup
of nuclear weapons. Today
that result has been fully
achieved. and there's a nu-
clear stalemate in the world.
Mr. Eisenhower said last
week that American forces
in Western Europe now could
be reduced to one division.
The Pentagon disagrees. Dep
uty Defense Secretary Ros-
well Gilpatric. in a speech on
Saturday. declared that while
American troops might be
withdrawn, there is no in
tention of making such a
drastic cut as Mr.. Eisen-
hover suggested.
The truth is that the
Western alliance is in trouble.
1t lacks unity. Some of its
members, like France, show
q tendency to develop in
dependent or isolated poll
icies. In fact. Gen. de Gaulle
predicts that the United
States eventually will mill
tarily pull out of Europe, and
he offers this possibility as
an excuse for wishing q sep
arate nuclear force and for
refusing to sign the partial
test-ban treaty. Indeed, the
French president now is re-
ported to be flirting with the
idea Of recognizing the Com
munist regime in Peiping.
This in itself would add to
the disunity. 1t looks like a
kind Of trading maneuver to
get nuclear help from Amer
lea.
The United States, there
fore, cannot at this time give
the impression that it is get
ting ready to withdraw its
military forces altogether
from Europe. To do so would
discourage the West German
government, which has IL

Remaining Ruling Families Seen
Stirring Hord-to- Understand Loyalty

Greece. Some years ago.
when Greece was desperately
shaking the tambourine for
United States foreign aid, I
was one of a party Of Ameri-
can newsmen invited to the
summer palace above Athens.
King Paul passed the drinks
himself and the queen
charmed the socks off us.
We were all so shaken by this
display of democracy that
we rushed back to our hotel
to write articles in favor Of
even more foreign aid.
Still, I have a nagging
doubt about the democratic
effusions Of the occupants OF
palaces. There is a basic
contradiction. The theory
of democracy is the right Of
every man to make his way
according to his talents, OPP
portunities and luck. The &C.
cupant of the palace claims
the right to pass on to his
son or daughter, however
stupid or ungifted, the sdula-
ton of a nation.

had to be resolute enough to
impose toll on the travellers,
wiring villeinage from the
peasants, and stave off their
noble enemies or they lost
everything.
The HapsburgS got their
start as brave cavaliers on
horseback who did-in the
Rhine robber barons. But
then they moved into the
castles and imposed such
tributes that they were soon
able to hire mercenaries to
control half Of Europe. After
they had it made. decay set
in. The power of the throne
soon became great enough to
overcome weakness of the
man who sat thereon.
So it was with all the other
eminent ruling houses. Idiots,
hemophiliacs, lechers, homo
sexuals. and Just plain dumb
Dummies presided over fawn-
ing courtiers and groveling
peasantry. The magnificence
Of the palaces was enough to
sustain the illusion of excel
lence.
There were. Of course,
limits to misrule. The Louis

Austrian Hapsburgs and the
Italian House of Savoy at
peace conferences, the House
Of York at BoSworth Field,
and the Tudors on the block.

clear recommendation from
the outgoing Prime Minister
as to his successor. with the

Of the new leader to COM

inability to make this kind
Of recommendation accounted
for the recent confusion.
1t was no more than a Gu
rious accident that the Con-
sentative convention ap-
peared to have so much in
fluence on the choice of the
leader. In re ality its in
fluence was very limited. The
annual m citing had this
sense Of power thrust on it
merely because its sessions
happened to coincide with
Mr.. Macmillan's removal
from the active leadership.
The choice would have
been easier for the Conserva-
tives if they had been merely
selecting a leader for his
m astery in the House Of
Commons. On that test alone
Mr.. Butler would have had
powerful claims to the sue

realized. But the party had
to think also of a resourceful

tains almost as many puzzles

complicated American tradi-

Fraser To Introduce
Another Rights Bill
To Protect Defendants

Congressman Donald Fraser told
an audience of young people Sept.
Is, that he was planning to intro
duce a bill TO permit the federal
courts to intervene in state court
proceedings where a defendant can
demonstrate that rights secured
to him by the Federal Consitu-
ton are being denied.
Fraser spoke to a young peoples
group at the Colonial Church of
Edna, Sunday evening at 6:45
pm. on the subject: Issues Before
Congress Including Civil Rights.
Fraser cited the case of Zev
Aelony, Minneapolis resident and
graduate student at the Universi-
ty of Minnesota. Aelony has been
working in the south with the
Congress on Racial Equality
(CORE). In August Aelony and
several others were arrested in
Amerfcus, Georgia, and charged
with 'inciting to insurrection" a
capital offense in Georgia.
This young man has deep con-
victions about the racial problem
in America. He has been working
on behalf of these beliefs. How
ever, based on information we can
get in Washington, there is no
basis for the charge made by
Georgia officials, particularly in
the light of CORES non-violence
philosophy. The charge of fncit-
ing to insurrection" however, has
had had the effect Of holding Ael-
ony in Jail for a month without bail
being set.
Perhaps most shocking was the
preliminary hearing held last week
before a justice of the peace which
was conducted secretly at the re-
quest Of the sheriff. Now Aelony
must await the convening of a
grand jury in November - two
months away - with little pros
pect Of bail being granted.
TT seems reasonably clear that
Aelony's actions in Americus at
the time of his arrest constituted
conduct which is protected by the
us. Constitution as an exercise
in free speech. Under these cir
cumstances, relief through the
state courts appears to be far
away - and meanwhile his rights
ais an American citizen are sub
impaired.
II believe that a citizen of this
country is entitled to more ade-
quate protection of his constitu-
tional rights than is being afford
ed in this case. Recently the us.
Supreme Court decided that de-
PENDANTS convicted in state courts
may apply for a writ of habeas
corpus in the federal courts where
a federal right is alleged to have
been violated. The Court ruled this
possible even though all state rem
edfes had not been exhausted.
II am considering a bill to
amend or supplement this statute
to provide that such a writ of
St. Paul recorder., 1963-09-19

haibeas corpus may be sought ir
the federal courts prior to any
conviction.
I'VE win attempt 10 write this
bill in such a way as to open up
this new avenue Of relief primarily
in these cases where, because OF
community attitudes or feelings,
state court relief Is unlikely.
Fraser said he hopes TO have q
bill ready Within the next two
weeks. Enactment Of this bill
would probably come too late to
aid Aelony - but it would pro-
vide an added protection against
arbitrary and unreasonable state
abuse Of PERSONS rights.
II win be asldng support for
such a bill from my colleagues
not according 10 whether or not
my colleagues agree or disagree
with Aelony's role in the civil
rights struggle, but on the basis
that Aelony's rights as an Amer
tcan citizen have been denied"
Fraser said that he has been in
touch with Governor Karl Rolvaag
and Mayor Arthur Naftalin on the
Aelony case - both Of them have
been contacted by friends Of the
family. Both the Mayor and the
Governor are concerned about the
treatment which Aelony has re-
cedved", said Fraser.
