DAVID LAWRENCE

The American people are
entitled to know whether the
chiefs of their armed services
are incompetent or whether,
in strictly military opera
tions, they are being inter-
fered with by civilians in the
Government.
A congressional investiga-
tion of just what happened
before the Bay of Pigs in
vasion of Cuba took place in
April, 1861, is more than ever
necessary now, because of
what is being disclosed as the
"true story" of the fiasco.
For unless the responsibility
Of the United States Chiefs
Of Staff during military OPP
erations is clearly fixed, the
capacity of the United States
to prevent or resist armed
attacks in this hemisphere
may be open to question.
More than 100000 men OF
our armed services were
mobilized last october inside
the United States for a pos
sible invasion of Cuba in
order to get rid Of the So
Wet missile bases there. But
there is no way to judge
whether the military chiefs
even then had the full au-
thority to act and just what
restrictions we're placed upon
them which could have af-
fected the success of that
expedition.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy, who-because he is
a brother of the President
is regarded as the ad-
ministration's authoritative
spokesman in many matters
outside his own department.
has just given two interviews
on the Cuban fiasco-one to
the Knight Newspapers and
the other to United States
News e. World Report.
The two interviews dove
tail. though they do not cover
all Of the same points. The
Attorney General told David
Kraslow, Washington cor
respondent of the Knight
Newspapers, that there had
been no invasion plan COM
pleted during Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's term. He said: There
was just a general concept.
The logistics and the details
were worked out after the
President (Kennedy) took
office"
Added interest has devel-
oped now in this whole sub
ject, because many of the
Cuban officers of the in
vasion force, who were re-

industry was not destroyed
enough in the war; the new
plants in France, Germany
and Italy are far more effici-
ent than much of Britain's.
The great port of London is
sluggish and archaic; labor
union featherbedding and
wildcat strikes make matters
worse; even in shipbuilding,
the Germans, Dutch, Swedes,
to say nothing of the Japa-
nese, equal her in quality and
beat her in construction and
delivery times and in prices.
Only a fool would under
rate the British people in any
crisis, but when they say, as
so many do. "Ah, we'll, we
have a way of winning the
last battle, you know" one is
Obliged to wonder if they are
not fooling themselves. This
kind Of slow war of economic
attrition has no dramatic last
battle. Salvation depends on
what was done yesterday, is
being done today and will be
done tomorrow.
The problem goes deep and
involves, I'm afraid, the
mores, values and habits of a
whole society. We, the Ger
mans and the japanese seem
to live in order to work; and
it makes life tense and ex-
hausting. The English seem
to work in order to live; this
makes t cir life infinitely
more pie a S a n t and leaves
room for the human graces.
But history will not stop, only
the fittest survive, and the
business life Of the British
remains essentially Victorian.

Agency" He added that,
while the Joint Chiefs "ap-
proved" the plan, "the re-
sponsibility for the planning
lay primarily with the CIA,"
and that, since the, Presi-
dent had to give final ap-
proval to the plan, he had
accepted the blame.
In both interviews, the At
torney General said that
United States air power was
to have been used only if the
ships transporting the Cuban
invasion force had been de-
tected by Castro before they
reached the target area and
were attacked on the high
seas on their way back to
Central America. This is the
explanation given for the
presence Of Unite d States
warships, including an air.
craft carrier, in the vicinity
of the Bay Of Pigs on the day
of the invasion. Yet it is
asserted that before the
invasion the President had
made it clear" that United
States armed forces, includ-
ing air power, would not be
used.
In the intervie W in the
Knight newspapers, the At
torney General said, "The
plan that was used was fully
cleared by the CIA and the
Joint Chiefs of Staff"
But what does cleared"
mean? Do the Joint Chiefs
take responsibility for any
such plan as was employed?

takes" Mr.. Kennedy added:

LONDON, Jan. % (AP).-
Britain has rejected Red
China's claims of Jurisdiction
over the walled city of Kow-
loon, near Hong Kong, but
offered to discuss differences
which have arisen over its ad-
ministration.
The Chinese Communist Gov
lernment asserted last week
that the walled city tradition
ally has been part of Chinese
territory. A note to Britain pro-
tested moves by the Hong Kong
colonial authorities to demolish
certain premises in the enclave

ter Macmillan visited Wash

can dinner partner, Every

The answer was, Another

Anyone keeping this ex-
change in mind will better
understand the essence of
British foreign and defense
policy and the real nature of
the present squabbling about
nuclear independence and
American leadership of the
Atlantic Alliance. He will un-
derstand why the United
States willingly faces a Fed
eral budget of $l00 billion:
and why Britain dropped her
Bluestreak missile for the
virtually free Skybolt, went
into an uproar when Skybolt
was Cancelled, will not under
take a truly independent
modernized nuclear arsenal,
and fails to bring her Rhine
army up to strength; and
why part of the British press
openly accuses the United
States of using the United
Nations Katanga operation
as a cover under which to
grab economic concessions
away from Europeans.
The maintenance of her
present prosperity is an OBJ
session in Britain and the
fulcrum on which her gov
ernments rise or fall. What
ever regime occupies White
hall finds itself caught in
the Procrustean bed of the
implacable interaction of ris-
ing domestic consumption
and falling exports. Britain
must still export or die" her

and she must live by her
economic wits.
What will determine
whether Britain falls to
the status of a third-class
power" to use the phrase
Tory backbenchers now cry
aloud, is not the question of
her nuclear independence
from us or from NATO, but
the questions of her joining

what happens after that.

still got to compete in pro-
