The assassin now appears
to have been q member of
the left wing. And I feared
how. after this period Of
mourning Is over, the right
wing would cry with equal
hatred and anger for the
blood Of the radical left.
The picture came to my
mind as it often has these
past few days, Of the killer
himself with the rifle butt to
his cheek, the target In his
sights. How righteous he
must have felt when he
squeezed the trigger. How
noble. How martyr-like.
And I thought of Jack
Ruby. How righteous he felt
when he squeezed the trig-
ger. How superior. How like
an avenging angel.
And / never felt more
strongly that the malignancy
on our fringes is not so much
hatred as righteousness.

what they do. And how easy
this is for the righteous.
The radical right, In its
righteousness would save us
all from the Communist con-
Spiracy. And the radical left,
in its righteousness. would
save us all from capitalist
exploitation. Each knows he
is right. Each is positive of
his cause. And the deeds Of
each are therefore self-justi-
flying.
So If we are destroyed, 1t
will be by those who would
protect us. If the world is
destroyed, 1t will be by those
who would save it. All In q
righteous cause.
But as I climbed Capitol
Hill in the funeral graynes,
I found the comfort I sought.
1t lay in the solid, massive,
granite and marble Of the
buildingS-in the serried CO.
umns Of the Capitol, in the
pristine morality of the Su-
preme Court.
I felt, as I always do, how
enduring our system is, how
deep its roots. But I under
stood for the first time that
its prime function Is to pro-
tect us from the righteous.
For the heart of our Ameri-
can idea is that the majority
will save itself. And I think
1t will. I think 1t will. For we,
the people. are our only
hope.

The day after the funeral
was gray and cold. I was
walking down Pennsylvania
avenue, aimlessly. In search,
I suppose, of comfort. How
very much we need comfort
right now. For I think we are
confused, uneasy, vaguely
fearful Of an infection
among us.
(How odd that rings)
President johnson had
quickly ordered "a prompt
and thorough investigation"
of the assassination. Texas
was naming q court Of In
quiry. Congressman were de-
handing "a blue ribbon in

In the coming weeks, I
knew, we would probe and
examine and test and ana
lyze. What was this infec-
ton? Was 1t spreading?
What was this growthP Was
it Malignant We must be
treasured.
There would be headlines
and magazine stories and
official reports and gradual
ly, I supposed, an official sto-
ry would emerge and we
would all be comforted and
turn to something else. And I
felt more uneasy than before.

growing danger IN Europe
was Representative Charles
Halleck, the Republican lead
er In the House Of Represen-
tatives. Mr.. johnson has new
er forgotten this fact.
When President Kennedy
sent Mr.. johnson to Berlin
in 1861, the least important
part Of this mission was his
public assurances Of Ameri-
can support to the divided
city. He carried out that part
Of his assignment with q dis
tinction which gave him q
personal triumph; but the
really important result Of his
mission was the foundation
which 1t laid for closer CO.
operation between the Ger
man and American govern
ments.
This history Is well known
to Chancellor Erhard and
Mayor Brandt Of Berlin. It
provides q reserve fund of
respect and good will on
which President Johnson can
draw in his relations with
German leaders.
President Johnson has
never believed that the fun
damental issues which divide
Russia and the democratic
nations can be settled by
negotiation, That does not
mean, however, that he is
unwilling to give reason and
diplomacy their full scope in
trying to reduce the burden
of fear in world affairs, and
to join with Russia in every
measure that eases world
tension. For President john
son the principle has always
been the test of reciprocity.
He is ready to march with
Russia every foot of the way
on the hard journey to
peace, provided Russia is not
leading US to the abyss, and
is making equivalent conces-
sions at every stage Of the
diplomatic process. He thinks
it Is an error to be so eager
to negotiate that our very
eagerneSs becomes q barrier
to successful negotiation.
Finally, there Is reason to
believe that President john
son thinks Mr.. Rusk is much
wiser than other officials In
Washington in being very
cautious In his estimate Of
the potential gains to the
United States from the Mos
Picking quarrel. He
shares Mr.. Rusk's view that
many elements Of the Com

subject to change, and that
the American people cannot

MAX FREEDMAN

LOS ANGELES-The best
bay to measure President
Johnson's knowledge Of fore
ign policy Is to review his
opinions on some of the major
problems Of the past three
years. Inevitably, these prob
lens viii change in coming
months, and his own reac-
ton to them will be different
as he sees them from the
lonely perspective Of the
White House. But at least
this review win give us the
flavor Of his mind, the drift
of his philosophy, the direc-
ton Of his hopes. In this CO.
lumn there win be q review
Of hts response to various
problems In Europe, while
the next column will attempt
a similar review of Asian af-
fairs.
President de Gaulle, II he
wants to break up NATO or
to weaken the unity Of West
ern Europe, viii find no ally
in President Johnson. The
first mission which Vice
President Johnson undertook
for President Kennedy was
to a NATO meeting in Paris.
President Johnson believes
very strongly in the partner
ship Of America with Great
Britain and all of Western
Europe. He viii oppose any
fringe policy that reduces
the scope Of that partner
ship, that builds barriers Of
discrimination against Eu-
rope, that diminishes the
central importance of West
ern Germany in the alliance,
and that employs nuclear
power as q calculated threat
that carries the risk Of nu-
clear war with Russia. On all
these matters President de
Gaulle will find President
johnson a strong defender Of
traditional American policies.
Within this context Of con-
tinuity. however, there will
be important differences.
President johnson has
never had any doubt about
the personal greatness Of
President de Gaulle. He hon
ors the French leader as q
man whose distinction makes
most of the other figures on
the world stage look like
moral pygmies. For this rea-
son, If for no other, he re-
grets the note of dogmatism
and complaint that has crept
into American comments on
French policy. He has long
believed that the United
States has made a mistake in
allowing the conflict over
policy to be regarded as q
dispute between France and
America. It Is really a con-
flict between France and her
European partners about the
future Of Western Europe.
Seen in those terms, the
controversy no longer be-
comes q conformation be.

lows greater influence to be
exerted by the European
countries themselves in this
discussion Of high policy. In
stead Of regretting this devel-
opment, which permits great
er European participation,
President johnson viii well
come 1t.
In addition, he win prefer
to have American policy In
Europe conceived less in
terms Of intellectual first
principles than Of specific
practical problems. He has
never liked political dogma,
even when it wears an Amer
lean label. He thinks we
should have talked much less
about q grand American de-
sign for European unity or
else we should have done
much more to achieve 1t. AL
too often we have merely ir-
ritated our European critics
without encouraging our Eu-
ropean friends.
On the question Of Ameri-
can troops in Europe. he has
always agreed with President
Kennedy that the troops
should return home the mo-
ment Western Europe wants
them to leave. But he also
thinks America should never
threaten withdrawal In q
mood Of irritation or petu-
lance; nor should 1t use the
American military commit
ment as q form Of political
pressure. The exact size of
that commitment is open to
review at different times. In
strictly military terms, there
is much to be said for Mr..
Eisenhower's proposal for a
large reduction in the num-
Der Of American divisions
that will be kept in Europe
as part Of the NATO guaran-
tee against aggression, There
Is far less to be said in favor
Of that proposal when its In

matte consequences are tax.
