President Backs
u. Research on
Population Curbs

President Kennedy says the
United States will certainly
support additional research on
the biology of human repro
duction."
He was asked at his press
conference yesterday about a
recommendation from the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences that
the United States take the lead
in an international effort to
curb uncontrolled population
growth.
Mr.. Kennedy noted the Ma
tional Institutes of Health is
spending several millions of
dollars" on fertility research
and the United States is also
supporting work by the United
Nations in this field.
IF your question is, can we
do more, should we know more
about the whole reproduction
cycle and this information be
made more available to the
world so that everyone can
make their own judgment, /
would think it would be a
matter which we could GER
tainly support" he said.

Greater Cohesion
Among ExiIes Urqed

@. Mr.. President, another r
point on the exile problem, sir:
Rather in line with an admoni-
ton that you, yourself, made
last September. the Attorney
General suggested the other
day that the Cuban exiles
should compose their differ
ences and speak with more of
one voice, particularly in terms
of their relationship with the
Government. Is there an i'm
plication here, sir, of an ap-
proval or enthusiastic approval
on the part of your administra-
ton toward the setting up OF
an exile government. a govern
ment in exile?
A. No, we supported the ar
rangement of the Revolution
ary Council in order to give the
exiles a voice, which we hoped

cally isolated Castro in this
hemisphere We have been
working through the Alliance
for Progress to present a repe-
tition of the Cuban incident.
We have made it clear that we
would NOT accept a Hungary
in Cuba. We have made it very
clear that we would NOT per-
NIT the movement Of troops
from Cuba to another country
for offensive purposes. We
maintain surveillance. We do a
good many things.
Now, coming down to the
question which is rather side
stepped, that is if the United
States should go to war in Or
der to remove Castro, that net
tie is NOT graSped, and it
would seem to me that we have
pretty much done all Of those
things that can be done to
demonstrate hostility to the
concept of a Soviet satellite in

these other steps which bring

but I think we will have an
idea as to whether the Soviet
Union is prepared to meet its
commitments and whether the
other countries who are also
signatories, which include the
Communist Chinese and the
North Wet Namese and others,
are prepared to really see a
neutral and independent Laos,
or determined to try a military
takeover. I think we should
have a clearer idea of that
after Gov. Harriman's return.

View Unchanged
On Moon Program

@. Mr.. President, there seems
to be fairly lively debate de-
veloping, sir, on the question OF
the wisdom of our man-to- the
moon program and the amount
Of money that we have assigned
to it. Have you had any cause
at all to reconsider your COM
mitment to that goal?
A. Well, we are looking-wC
looked at it, Of course, when We
proposed our budget for this
year. We are looking at it again
in relationship TO next years
budget. We are also looking al
it because of the concern that
has been raised in the Congress
and out Of the Congress. l have
seen nothing, however. that has
changed my mind about the
desirability Of our continuing
this program,
Now, some people say that We
should take the money VIC are
putting into space and put II
into housing or education. We
sent up a very extensive edu-
cational program. My judgment
Is that what would happen
would be that they would cut
the space program and you
would not get additional funds
for education. We have enough
resources, in my opinion. to dc
what needs to be done in the
field, for example, of education
and to do what needs to be
done in space.
Now, this program passed al
most unanimously a year ago
What will happen. l predict
will be a desire perhaps, posi-
bly,. to cut it substantially, anc
then. a year from now or siX
months from now, when the
Soviet Union has made another
new, dramatic breakthrough
there will be a feeling of why
didn't we do more" l think oul
program is soundly based. ]

Here is a partial teTt OF
President Kennedy'S netDS
conference yesterday
@. Mr.. President, with Laos
boiling up, could you assess for
us the relative threats posed
to the United States by the So
Wet Union and Red China?
A. No, I think it would be a
mistake to attempt to make
that assessment on this occa-
sion. We have difficult prob
lens in Southeast Asia. They
directly involve, of course, the
Soviet Union, as the Soviet
Union is the co-chairman, and
is also, as I have already said
a signatory to the Geneva ac-
cord. 1t, has assumed in the
past a special responsibility for
the maintenance of a neutral
and independent Laos, in the
Vienna statement which the
chairman and I made IN June
Of 1861, committing ourselves
to that result. We have also
been conscious of the threat to
the security of independent
countries of Asia and South
east Asia. which has been made
quite clear by the Chinese, so
1 would say that we have Seri-
Gus problems with them both.
We would hope that the Soviet
Union would make effort to
fulfill its commitments under
the Geneva accord as the
United States is attempting to
do E.
@. Mr.. President Laos
:. has Deen more of a testing
ground for co-exiStence since
the Geneva accord than per-
hapS any other place in the
world. Would you interest a
Soviet refusal to go along with
efforts to maintain peace in
the government of national
union there as a shift toward a
hard line by the Soviet Union?
A. I don't want to say any,
thing that will prejudice Sec
retary Harriman's trip. I think
we will know a good deal more
about the prospects after he
has visited Moscow.
If we fail in Laos, would
think the prospects for ac-
cords on matters which may
Evening star., 1963-04-25

strongly support it. I think 1t
would be a mistake to cut 1t. I
think time will prove. even
though we can't see all the
answers which we will find in
space, that the overall expen-
ditures have been worthwhile.
This country is country OF
great resources. This program
in many ways is going to stimu-
late science. l know there is
feeling that the scientists should
be working on some other mat
ter, but l think that this pro-
gram-I am for it and l think
1t would be a mistake to arrest
it.
q. Mr.. President, there is re-
ported to be a growing feeling
on Capitol Hill that because Of
the Frightening economic pic
ture 1t might not be necessary
to push your tax bill, that is,
it might be all right to delay
the effective date of your tax
bill. Do you share that?
A. No, l don't agree with that
at all The tax cut would
put $40 billion directly, in an
l8-month period, into the
hands of our people, which,
under the multiplier, will mean
$50 billion, and I think can
make very important differ
ence in reducing our unemploy-
ment. We have to find a ire
mendouS number of jobs in the
next two years for new people
and, in addition, we have a Sc
per cent level of unemployment
already.
So I think 1t would be a
great mistake to stop the tax
cut. 1t is a long range program.
And it would be a great mis-
take to delay it. because we
have all been through expe-
riences. even in the last IL
months, to know that no one
predicts with certainty the level
of the economy, and I think
the prudent action is to go
ahead with the program I have
suggested.

lence and the Withholding OF
some of their rights. Could you
discuss with us what alternative
steps the Federal Government
might be able to take to bring
some Of these States into line
with the law Of the land?
A. Well, in every case that
the Civil Rights Commission
described, the United States
Government has instituted
legal action in order to provide
a remedy. -.
Now, it is very difficult. We
have the outrageous crime
from all accounts, in the State
Of Alabama, the shooting OF
the postman who was attempt
ing in a very traditional way
to dramatic the plight of some
Of our citizens, being assaSSi-
mated on the road. We have
Offered to the State of Alabama
the services of the FBI in the
solution Of the crime.
We do not have direct juris-
diction, but we are working
with every legislative, legal too
at our command to insure
protection for the rights o.
our citizens, and we shall con-
tinue to do so.
We shall also continue not
to spend Federal funds in such

before oxford and since. in ar

u. S. Has Clear Idea
Who Is Responsible

q. Do we have any evidence
that the Soviet Union is not
in control of the ground in
Laos, as they seemed to be in
control in 1861 and last year,
when the Geneva agreement
was signed?
A. That, I think, is a matter
which I think time will tell us.
There was a direct control
because of the supply lines
which were being maintained
by the Soviet airlift. Whether
the Soviets maintain the same
degree Of control now, whether
they desire to maintain their
influence, and whether their
influence will be thrown in
the direction of a maintenance
of the Geneva settlement are
the questions which / think
we should try to answer in
the next three or four weeks.
What. of course, is happen
ing in Laos is a struggle be-
tween the neutralist forces of
Kong lie, who were allied with
the Communist forces in 1861,
so that it seems to me that
the very nature of the struggle
and the forces involved in the
struggle are the best answer
to the charges that have been
made in the last "a hours that
it is the United States which
has disturbed the status quo.
The struggle is not between
the forces of Phoumi and the
neutraliSts, but between the
Pathet Lao and the Kong LIE
forces which, of course, are
the. army of Souvanna Phou-
ma, whom the Communists
themselves supported in 1861.
So I think we have a very clear
idea Of where the responsibility
lies. and it would be a dis
tortion to attempt to place
the burden for the breakdown
upon the United States.
I think the world can tell
very clearly who is struggling
in the Plaine Des Jarres and
who. therefore, must bear the
responsibility. Now, the solu-
ton is not to engage in pol
emics or debate, but to bring
about a cease fire, and to see
If we can maintain what is a
very fragile structure today.
@. Mr.. President, would you
care to address yourself to
criticism expressed by some Re-
publicans, including Mr.. Nixon
recently, about the adminis-
tration's attitude toward Cuba,
and suggesting, perhaps, that
we are NOT taking as firm a
stand toward them as we
should?
A. I know there is q
good deal of concern in the
United States because Castro is
still there. ! think it is unfor-
tunate that he was permitted
to assume control in the 1950s
and perhaps it would have
been easier to take an action
then than it is now. But those
who were in position of reSpon-
sibility did NOT make that
judgment.
Now, as to what the present
situation-we have, as you
know, without going through
the entire list we have-and
the other countries Of the free
world have-cut free world
trade in the last two years

$1.4 Billion
Bill OKd by
Senate Group
BY the Associated Press

A 81, 1,485,978,84l money bill,
including a controversial $3.50
million bundle for President
Kennedy's stepped-up public
works program, has been ap-
proved by the Senate Appro-

But the committee yesterday

master General j. Edward Day
that it restore at least SIS mil
lion of the $8.3 million the
House Topped off his request
for $166.8 million to make ends
meet until next June 80.
The committee knocked out
provisions in the HouSe-passed
measure that State or local
agencies must match part of
the Federal funds on work
projects, except for forest
preservation plans under the
Agriculture and Interior De-
partments.
Congress last year author
lied a 5000 million public works
program designed to provide
jobs in areas with heavy unem-
ployment. 1t also provided
$400 million to finance such
projects in a separate money
bill.

appropriation Of the remain

Committee, but. after a floor
battle, House Democratic lead
