y. S. Studying Choices
In A-Wor, Bundy Says

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. l6
(AP) The United States is
trying to envision choices other
than total mutual devastation
in the event Of a nuclear attack
by any country, McGeorge
Bundy said today.
Mr.. Bundy, White House spe-
cial assistant for national Sc
curity affairs, referred to "a
more recently articulated pur-
pose Of the Government" in a
talk at Yale University's an
nual mid-winter alumni day.
This purpose, he said, was to
map strategic plans based on
the idea that even If, against
all hopes and interest, there
should be some nuclear ex-
change, we might be able to
make such choices Of action
that 1t would still be In the
interest Of the other side to
refrain from further attack"
Sidesteps Queries
Mr.. Bunny said he would not
discuss controversial present
issues" and sidestepped some
questions in a question period.
In his talk he said there were
delicate policy choices to be
made in nuclear strategy and
that there were several "errors"
In thinking about this strategy. !
Nuclear weapons are essen
tial, but conventional weapons
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-02-17

are more important than
ever" said Mr.. Bundy.
He said the United States
should not plan for nuclear wal
as If ut were something We
Notwithstanding in which
victory would have its normal
meaning"
But he also said some Ameri-
cans have fallen into the error
Of thinking that nuclear war
is SO horrible there should be
no planning Of what this coun-
try would do.
Civil Defense Cited
He said civil defense pro-
grams in the United States
have been sighted because of
this fear.
Mr.. Bundy also said that
President Kennedy still feels a
nuclear test ban would be de-
sirable, even though there
would be some risk that theh
Soviet might violate the ban.

u. S., Britain to Push
NATO NucIeor Force

Department. Assistant Secre-
tary of State William r. Tyler
will head the United States
negotiators, drawn from the
State and Defense Departments
and the Atomic Energy Com
mission. Britain will be repre-
sented by Denis A. Greenhill,
embassy minister here. Mr.
Greenhill is due back from
London today with fresh in
structions.
This will be the third of a
series Of negotiations held since
President Kennedy and Prime
Minister Macmillan met at
Nassau in December. Mr.. Mac
milan agreed then to scrap
plans to arm Britain's bomber
force with the Skybolt missile,
which Mr.. Kennedy had aban-
doned, and to build instead a
nuclear submarine fleet for
which he will buy United States
Polaris missiles.
The announcement yesterday
said the Tyler Greenhill dis
cussions will cover particularly
the problems involved in the
sale of Polaris missiles to the
British government and the
initial assignment Of forces to
NATO by both governments.
Macmillan Agrees
Mr.. Macmillan agreed at
Nassau that he would pay for
the Polaris weapons and that he
would submit the nuclear I'M
derseas fleet built around these
weapons to NATO command.
Mr.. Kennedy pledged to match

the British contribution to
NATO

the British contribution to
NATO.
Gen. de Gaulle rejected in
January the same kind Of deal
which Mr.. Macmillan had ac-
cepted from Mr.. Kennedy in
December. His determination
to- organize Europe militarily
and economically on lines OPP
posed by Mr.. Kennedy and
Mr.. Macmillan spurred the
British and American leaders
as well as like-minded allies to
press forward with the NATO
nuclear force.
This is one of the reasons
Mr.. Kennedy is speeding the
assignment OF three Polaris
submarines into the Mediter-
ranean around April without
final solution of the problem Of
where they will be based. The
three subs will make possible
the dismantling of Jupiter
missile bases in Italy and Tur-
key. The presence of nuclear
weapons in Italian territory
has been a political issue.

Volor in the Cold War

In nearly every corner OF the globe
there are Americans rendering good and
indispensable service to the cause of
peace, freedom and our national securi-
ty. Many Of them, in effect, are 'front.'
line soldiers in the cold war. Although
not engaged in any formally declared
armed conflict, they are nonetheless
fighting men, and more than a few Of
them-some even to the point Of giving
up their lives-carry out their tasks with
bravery above and beyond the call of
duty.
Yet these Americans-for example,
reconnaissance pilots who fly over Cuba
or the military advisers involved in the
deadly guerrilla warfare in South Wet
Nam-are not eligible for major COM
bat decorations. This is so because our
present laws permit the bestowal OF such
awards only on those who perform hero
ically in wars in which the United States
Is openly and directly engaged. Accord
ingly, no matter how brave and extra
ordinary may be his conduct, the soldier
Of the cold war can now receive nothing
iHBiltI Jlldll SptCldl ClJdJlOiS OT HlIlOT
medals from the armed services.
II is for this reason that the De-
fense Department has urged the new
Congress TO enact legislation enabling
our country to offer prompt and proper
recognition OF the services and saori-
fices' Of all such soldiers - legislation
that would authorize the marking Of
their valor with decorations like the
Medal OF Honor, the Distinguished
Service Cross, the Navy Cross, the Air
Force Cross and the Silver Star. The
merits Of the proposal are self-evident.
Senate and House should act favorably
on II without delay.

De GouIIe and Reality

AS the leader OF sovereign France,
President Charles de Gaulle has a right
to object-if he so wishes-to full British
membership in the European Economic
Community. He has a right, too, to
rebuff American proposals for a multi
national nuclear force integrated within
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Even so, rights to one side, his latest
views on these vital matters are alto
gether negative and unrealistic, and
they can hardly fail to create serious
new strains, II not crisis, in the West
ern alliance.
Thus, In the case of the EEC (the
Common Market), at least three of
Frances key partners in that great six
nation enterprise have been quick to
voice open and sharp disagreement with
General de Gaulle's views that Britain
should be admitted only as an associate
member. I'll three are Belgium, the
Netherlands and West Germany, and
their attitude apparently is shared in
varying degrees by Luxembourg and
Italy. In other words, the French PreSi-
dent has placed his country in the posi-
tion Of standing pretty much by itself,
with the rest of the EEC's membership
differing with him on the question of
British entry.
Similarly, in belittling the Kennedy
Macmillan Nassau agreement to promote
an integrated NATO nuclear force, Pres
ident de Gaulle has brushed aside plan
that has won general favor within the
alliance. In effect, he has said that he
and his countrymen intend to go it alone
by building and maintaining their own
atomic arsenal-a course scarcely cal
culated to ease the difficulties Of eStab-
fishing truly effective common allied
defense and military strategy. Indeed, as
If acknowledging this, General de Gaulle
himself has conceded that France could
never wage a nuclear world war on its
own and that there is need foI COOP
erative arrangements, though not "in-
tegration," in this deadly field.
Accordingly, with his partners in
the Common Market disagreeing with
him, and with most of NATO favoring
the Nassau plan, President de Gaulle
may well have some second thoughts
that will persuade him to modify what
he said in Paris on Monday. With his
almost mystical devotion to the historic
grandeur and glory of France, he has
always been difficult to deal with on
matters affecting his country'S prestige,
but he has never been found wanting as
an ally in moments of crisis for freedom.
Certainly, that being the case, he is not
likely to hold to any course that could
wreck the Atlantic community.

Well Said

In very few well-chosen words,
President Kennedy has summed up the
best arguments against the growing
pressureS from organized labor for
such restrictive measures as the 35-hour
week"
To impose this as the standard
workweek, and without any reduction
in take-home pay as labor proposes,
could, In the Presidents words, increase
hourly labor costs by as much as IA
per cent, start a new wage-price spiral
OF initiation, and undercut our efforts
to compete with other nations"
II seems to us that these are thor
oughly accurate conclusions, and that
adding any such costly new burden 70
the economy would be deeply damaging
TO industry, to the public welfare and
to the national interest-with labor
among those sharing the harm. Mr..
Kennedy and his administration have

Everybody Gets Paid Off

enforcement efforts, he says, are being
thwarted by political "higher-ups." And
the Sheriff adds that he personally has
been approached in roundabout" way
with bribe offer in connection with his

These are extremely serious charges.
Having made them publicly, Mr.. jamie
son is in no position to stop talking now.
Presumably he has evidence to back up
what he says, and he most certainly has
an obligation to produce such informa-
tion. If he was engaging in loose talk,
however, 1t is Just as important that
that be known.
In any event, his remarks should
not be permitted to get lost in the welter
of political charges and er-charges
now taking place. The County Commits
SionerS, in a press release and in indi-
vidual comments, have ridiculed the
Sheriff'S statements, and have called on
him to give them any information he
has about payoffs. In reply, Mr.. jamie
son says he prefers Ito deal with the
grand jury"
He is right about that. The grand
jury should be summoned without delay,
and Sheriff Jameson should be called
before 1t to tell what he knows.

THE PASSING SCENE
Kennedy's Moderate Program
By WILLIAM S. WHIT

The sum of it, on all pres
ent indications, is that very
probably this will be a mod
crate session of Congress.
striking out here and there
beyond where the conserva-
tives would really like to 60,
but also keeping well short Of
those wild blue yonder
stretches of innovation which
the Democratic left would
like to enter.
Republicans Relieved
The Republicans will fight
the President when they
think they should; but there
is no G. o. P. disposition to
run an opposition simply for
opposition's sake. The truth
is that the Republicans are
more relieved than otherwise
by the state f-the-Union
message. 1t is not, Of course,
that they expect to go along
with all he has asked. Rather,
it is that since the next elec-
tion year-l964-is a presi-
dental election year, they
had been sorely afraid he
would go so much farther
with his legislative demands
than he has in fact gone.
So, putting aside the un-
important left-wing Demo-
cratic extremists, the collec-
tive attitude of the new Con-
gress toward the President is
one Of general liking and
respect for him and fairly
general approval of his han
ding Of most-though not
all-of the harsh problems Of
the cold war. He is infinite
ly stronger than he would
have been had he not stood
up in Cuba; his foreign policy
leadership is thus not likely
to be seriously challenged, as
otherwise it would surely have
been.
The controlling center-in
both parties-has no wish to
humble him; there is no
hate Kennedy bloc at the
Capitol any more than there
was a hate Eisenhower bloc.
The President will have his
troubles, Of course, but really
only in the area of second
grade domestic policies, with
the single exception Of for
eign aid.
Much difficulty Is arising
for that program, and only a
thoroughgoing administra-
ton determination to make
it a more rational instrumen-
tality can save it from very
deep and damaging cuts.

Evening star., 1963-01-16

Wherever 1t may ultimate
ly lead, President Kennedy's
relationship to the new Con-
gress has begun with mod
crate satisfaction among the
controlling centrist Demo-
Gratis and a certain wary
amiability toward him even
among the Republicans.
Nobody is really angry at
him-aS yet-except the doc
trinaire ltra-liberal Demo-
Gratis. These excitable fell
lows-who actually gave him
more trouble in the old Con-
gress on the truly important
things than did any other
faction - are fretfully un-
happy.
They are petulant that he
has not demanded violently
extreme reforms in civil
rights which would tie this
Congress up for many weeks
in angry and futile knots,
so that in not accomplishing
these unattainable reforms it
would not be able to accom-
plish much Of anything else,
either.
They are pettish with him
for not throwing himself
headlong into their fore
doomed effort, already OPEN
ing in the Senate, to alter
the rules Of the game so that
all debate could be shut off
whenever they could rally
some bare majority to put on
the gag.
And many Of them are irri-
tated with him for asking a
big tax cut, accompanied by
some cutback in domestic
spending. This rejects a CEN
tral article of their true faith,
which is that prosperity is
really reached only by Gov
ernment spending of the
most vast and energetic kind.
COnciIiatOry Leader
One presidential message
does not make a session of
Congress; and it may well be
that others to come will sig
nificantly alter Mr.. Ken
nedy's apparent purposes for
this Congress. At the present,
however, and on the showing
Of his state-of-the-Un ad-
dress, he has entered the
second half of his first term
as a conciliatory and not a
divisive national leader.
His program is on the
whole moderate. Though GER
tainly not wholly acceptable
to traditional conservative
thinking, it is also certainly
nowhere an abomination to
the conservative view.

Mr.. johnson thinks 1t will
not be politically expedient"
to attack Senator Byrd in
1864. The same, no doubt,
goes for the House Un-Amer-
lean Activities Committee and
other johnson targets Of the
last campaign. But no mat
ter how chameleon-like Mr..
johnson becomes, he will, no
doubt, be made to remember
his past attacks. The public
is quick to spot a turncoat.
The Star also reported that
Mr.. johnson had refused to
release the results of this
latest poll. His refusal indi-
Gates a distrust of the peo-
pie. If he released the re-
suits, the people would have
an opportunity, before he
runs again, to express their
disapproval with his most re-
cent poll. On the other hand,
concealing the results gives
Mr.. johnson an opportunity
to make the people believe
that they want what he says
they want, all on the basis
of some uncomfortable poll
ster's latest scoop.
Basically, poll-worshipping
candidates really present a
false front because their
positions constantly change
as the opinions of infinitesi-
NAL samples of the public
change, and even as the ac-
curacy of the samplings
change and as the hired poll
sters themselves change or
are replaced.

Retarded Students

The D. c. public schools
provide only a single facility
for trainable mentally re-
tarded children in the Ma
tion's Capital. This is the
Military Road School, which
after more than eight years
in operation, has a capacity
of less than As pupils. Hun
dreds of children have waited
in vain to attend these
classes. There are more than
200 on the current waiting
list. The success of even this
limited program is indisput-
able.
School Superintendent
Hansen and the Board of Ed
ucation have consistently re-
quested funds to expand this
program, only to be rebuffed
annually by the D. c. bud
get office. Last year school
officials requested a mod
crate expansion consisting Of
four additional teachers, who
would train about 40 new
children, and tuition grants
for the remaining children
on the waiting list. (These
children would attend area
private institutions). The to-
tai cost of this proposed ex-
pansion was less than $64,-
900. 1t was eliminated by the
D. c. budget office.
The Board of Education
again has approved a SINH
lar expansion for fiscal 1864.
The total cost is approx
mately $4,000. The D. C.
budget office finally approved
the proposal for the four new
teachers Tin the "contingen-
cy budget'O but eliminated
tuition grants entirely.
The Parents Committee Of
the Military Road School,
along with several other civic
organizations, testified before
the D. c. Commissioners on
November 6, 1862, urging re-
storation Of the full amount
requested by school officials.
We also plan to present our
petition to the House and
Senate d. c. Appropriations
subcommittee again this
year, as we did last year.
We respectfully implore the
President to urge Congress
to give favorable considera-
ton to this item.
