There are high officials in

ment who are willing to pay
Gen. de Gaulle's price.
Months ago they worked up
a project for q massive dose
Of American nuclear aid to
France. With such help, they
claim, France would join the
test-ban agreement. That,
they further argue, would be
the first step toward the re-
creation, for purposes Of
making peace, of the East
West wartime alliance against
the Germans.
But there, precisely, lies
the rub. In abandoning At

projects for political, eco

renounce the only policy
capable Of engaging and

would be bound, once again

Gen. de Gaulle's press
conference has combined
with the test-ban agreement
to place before the United
States the elements Of a big
deal. France, apparently, is
ready to cooperate with this
country in promoting an
East-West detente providing
that this country co-operates
with France in accepting a
Gaullist Europe dominated
from Paris.
The possibilities are suf-
ficiently momentous to war
rant careful study. They are
sufficiently obscure so that
the United States may never
have to declare itself OUT
right. But with that much
said, there is no case at all
for accommodating Gen. de
Gaulle. To accept the French
gambit would cost dearly,
and gain nothing that is not
going to be forthcoming any
way.
The setting for the gambit
was provided by the test-ban
agreement. In the Moscow
talks. Premier Khrushchev
made 1t plain that he re-
garded test-ban as only the
first step toward a limited
detente. He made 1t equally
plain that the second step
would, in one way or an
other, involve the German
question. Averell Hartman
while refusing to negotiatG
over the heads Of the allies,
undertook to win allied ap-
proval for a second-step
negotiation.
Gen. de Gaulle's press
conference fitted exactly into
the Moscow exchanges. Bas-
ically he sought to turn the
American itch for a detente
to the advantage Of his
European ambitions.
As his price for such ac-
c0Immodation. on the other
hand, Gen. de Gaulle seems
to want nothing less than a
scrapping Of this country's
Grand Design for Atlantic
Partnership with its attend
ant features of European
unity, free markets and q
Joint nuclear defense system.
He dismissed European unity
as "the plan for a so-called
supra national Europe in
which France would disap-
pear" He put one in the eye

tending that Europe should
be economically self suffi-
cient-notably in foodstuffs.

Congress Is Criticized for Complaining

The extent to which the

I BY refusing to rleeislate,
Congress is forcing the

Senate and House Attacks on Pentogon
Directive on Racial Bios Are Reviewed
DAVID LAWRENCE

It seems incredible that,
with all the denunciation
that Americans have heaped
on the Soviet Union for in
doctrinating their troops
with the soci2l and political
ideas Of communism, the
people Of the United States
should be reading this week
~ their newspapers about
epeeches in the Halls Of Con-
gress alleging that the Ken
nedy Administration is try
ing to use the armed services
to propagate its doctrines Of
social reform.
Senator Stennis Of Missis-
sippi, Democrat, is q high
ranking member OF the Sem
ate Armed Services Commit
tee and chairman of its Pre-
paredness Investigating SUBJ
committee. In q speech to
the Senate on Wednesday,
he cited the directive which
has been issued by the Sec
rotary Of Defense ordering
commanders at military
bases to declare "off limits"
any businesses or areas
where any racial discrimina-
ton may occur. The Senator
said In his speech:
"It is now proposed that
the military profession itself
be utilized as q driving force
in the establishment Of a new
social and political order
which involves race relations
and individual associations
in off-base, areas surround
ing our military establish
ments. -.
This new and previously
unheard-of mission is de-
signed to shape our military
force as an instrument for
social reform and can only
result in irreparable injury to
the military profession. In
addition, it is o grave and
serious challenge to the long,
established and traditional
concept Of complete separa-
ton Of the military from all
political matters and activi-
ties.
Paragraph C (of the d.
rectiye) places clear and
heavy responsibility upon the
military commander In the

Not long ago. the Secretary

to participate In racial dem

clear how much Of the De-
tense Departments influence

activities of soldiers off duty

Senator Stennis not only
calls attention to the eco
nomic coercion involved in
using military commanders to
determine what places of

but he says the new directive
brings into play the factor of

Senator Stennis declared that
the new directive will affect

Lane Anxious
To Meet Ortiz
In Title Bout

SAGINAW, Mich, Aug. 20
(AP). - Kenny Lane finally
has recognition as world light
weight champion, if only in the
5S,216 square miles Of Michi-
gan, and he's anxious to fight
Carlos Ortiz anywhere for the
title covering the rest of the
globe.
"Ortiz can call me the chal-
lenger, I don't care" Lane said
after winning the Michigan
version of the lightweight
championship by outpointing
Paul Armstead in a unanimous
15-round decision last night.
"Bpt I'll call him the same
thing" Lane added.
Lane, the World Boxing AS
sociation's No. 2 contender
from Muskegon, Mich, received
strong backing on the cards of
all three officials in his victory
over the first-ranked Armstead
from Los Angeles.
Referee Lou Jallos gave Lane
146 points in Michigan's 10
point-must system to 143 for
Armstead. Judge Don Dilley
gave Lane the verdict, 147-141,
and Judge West Tebeau scored
1t 146-138.
Lane weighed 134A last
night, Armstead 1876.
We'll give Ortiz plenty of
offers and see what he comes
up with" Lane said. "WeIl
have to see what comes out Of
the VIDA now"
Lane, a southpaw counter
puncher, has charged Ortiz and
the VIDA with giving him q
run-around in bids for a title
fight. Because of it, Michigan
withdrew from the VIDA in
June. The VIDA also stripped
Ortiz Of his title in June for
failure to defend, but restored
the championship Sunday.
Ortiz was reinstated as
champion with the stipulation
he sign by the end Of the year
to fight the Lane-Armstead
winner.
Lane and Ortiz have fought
twice before, each winning
once.
