Visiting German Leader
Backs Inspection Plan
BY the Associated Press

Foreign Minister Gerhard
Schroeder of West Germany
has advised the United States
to see If an inspection system
can be arranged with Russia
for preventing a surprise at
tack.
The exchange of East and
West observation posts along
the Iron Curtain is Just one of
a series Of Russian proposals
for easing cold war tensions.
But Mr.. Schroeder was re-
ported to have told admins
tration officials yesterday that
1t is probable the only one the
West can hope to win agree
ment on.
Plans to See President
The Foreign Minister had
conferences with both Secre-
tary Of State Rusk and Presi-
Dental adviser McGeorge
Bundy before flying to New
York. He is scheduled to re-
turn for a meeting Tuesday
with President Kennedy.
Sources close to the German
foreign policy chief said he has
the backing of Chancellor Ad-
enauer TO pursue a more flexi-
BILE approach to q possible
second step" for easing East
West tensions. The limited
test-ban treaty is regarded as
the first step.
AS suggested by Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev, the inspec-
tons teams would report on
troop concentrations and other
signs OF war preparations on
each side Of the Iron Curtain.
The Kennedy administration
is reported to believe also that
the inspection proposal has the
best chance of being worked
out.
Bonn is reported to feel,
though, that the Russian sug-
gestion for an East West nom
aggression agreement should be
held up until other problems
such as Berlin and German re-
unification-are settled.
Rusk to See GrOmyko
The various proposals for
easing tensions are expected to
be discussed next week in New
York by Mr.. Rusk and Soviet
Foreign Minister Gromyko.
Mr.. Schroeder was reported
to have been told that Mr.. Rusk
has no plans for proposing any

with Republican County chair
men.
In his Newark speech, Sena-
tor Goldwater rejected conten-
tons that the Republican Party
becomes a racist party" by
recognizing its growing strength
in the South and said the Re-
publican South is "the growing
industrial South, the bustline
urban South"
He had told the news con-
ference that a compromise
would have to be reached on a
civil rights measure, but he
added that the problem "is not
going to be solved by legislation
The immediate problem is an
economic one"
While Senator Goldwater did
not announce his candidacy, In
terror Secretary Udall told a
Salt Lake City news conference
that the growing impression in
Washington was that Senator
Goldwater was the standout
Republican candidate.
But Mr.. Udall said he die
not feel Senator Goldwater has
the quality of stability and
emotion this Nation needs to
find its way to peace.
Mr.. Udall said Senator Gold
water had said this about the
possibility of running for the
Republican nomination:

GoIdwater in Jersey Speech
Raps Kennedy on Tax Cut

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 81
(AP).-Arizona Senator Barry
Goldwater doomed Republican,
ism. banged the administration
and belittled a Kennedy pro
posed Russian-American moon
expedition at a Embarrassing
visit last night for New Jersey
Republicans.
He criticized the administra-
TONS tax-cut proposal, told
Republicans that a conserva-
tive mood prevailed in the Ma
ton and said the moon ex-
petition would be a terrible
waste of money"
President Kennedy had sug-
gested before the United Ma
tons General Assembly ear
lier in the day that a moon
venture with Russia would be
a symbol of new Corpora
ton.
Senator Goldwater, a pos
sible contender for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination,
said he would want more in
dications of honesty and faith
from the Soviet Union before
such a project was undertaken
He added that the money
could be spent in a study OF
oceans to determine what food
water and other benefits they
could provide.
Two Groups Parade
Senator Goldwater addressed
a news conference and $l00-a-
plate dinner at the Robert
Treat Hotel. Outside the hotel
two groups of demonstrators
paraded in a single line.
One group, the Newark Youth
Council of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, demanded that
he support the Administrations
civil rights bill The other
group carried placards support
ing "Goldwater for President
and stating. Jack, we will
Barry you"
In his speech, Senator Gold
water characterized Mr.. Pen.
nedy as "a President who lure,
votes by asking a tax cut while
Stubbornly counting economic
disaster through refusal to cut
spending"
He told newsmen there was g
feeling in Washington that the
tax cut was not actually want

fering increasingly hopeful
prospects for success In the AL
lance program.
Colombia, hailed last year as
"a showcase OF the Alliance"
has been granted more than
1866 million from the United
States and from international
organizations In the first two
years of the Latin-American
aid effort. President Kennedy
visited Colombia in December,
1861, to dramatic the progress
Colombia was making at that
time.
About Is per cent of total
Latin American development
aid has been going to Colom-
bia, which last year received
more long-term loans from the
United States Agency for In
ternational Development than
any other country in the ALI
ance except Argentina.
It was understood Alliance
planners will not take a closer
look at Colombian requests for
loans.
Colombia's economic prob
lens stem from falling coffee
prices, which were halved in the
last decade and from a popu-
lation increase of 4 million in
the same period. Coffee ac-
counts for about 80 per cent
Of Colombias foreign exchange
earnings.
Failure Is Seen
Washington repeatedly feels
Colombia is failing to meet the
goals set in its Alliance APP
proved 10-year economic and
social development plan, al
though some economists feel
the goals are overly ambitious.
Principal goals are to diver
sify and expand exports, in
crease the economic growth to
Sc per cent a year, and in
crease public and private in
vestments more than 7 per cent
by 1865 with q corresponding
rise in national savings.

The Congress is experience
ing something to which it is
not accustomed, and that is
Just plain boredom.
It is on the defensive
more than usual, but criti-
cism is par for the course,
and members are adjusted to
it. They ride out attacks and
even scandal with considera-
BILE indifference, provide d
they feel they are accom-
plishing something.
But it is mid-November,
and they are marking time
on the annual appropriations
chores and d awdling over
what was, at the start, most
ly leftover programs. The
result is creeping ennui
which is expressing itself in
the remarkable outbreak of
personalities in the Senate
and frequently a reckless in
difference to the conse-
ouenceS of the members own
acts.
Senator Dodd, Connecticut
Democrat, has a apologize d
rather comically for breaking
the club rules with attacks
on his own and the Republ-
can leadership. Yet out Of
the resulting ooze emerges a
clear notion of the complaint
heard in ever-rising volume.
The complaint comes from
moderates as well as liberals,
and even some experienced
conservatives acknowledge
misgivings that the "ins" Of
both parties will eventually
suffer at the polls.
The complaint is itself a
paradox. 1t amounts simply
10 a cry for leadership. Re-
minders that strong leader

party leaders is always re-
sisted with cries Of dictator"

A veteran moderate who has

Sure, the public likes him

by next year, but what about
us? We're taking the rap for
his desire to get on with ev-

Even the calendar is
turned against us by our own
leaders. They are so eager to

make 1t next to impossible
for US to function as a leg

The Firing of Otto F. OtepIko

evidence as presented Is
flimsily circumstantial. What
Mr.. Otepka does not deny is
that he testified before the
committee in response to its
request and helped counsel
for the com mittee frame
questions that would show
the lax practices Of his asso-
ciates and superiors.
In the process Of getting
rid Of Mr.. Otepka, one State
Department employe is &C
cused Of higher venality than
Mr.. Otepka himself. This
employee Is charged with
lying under oath in denying
the tapping Of Mr.. Otepka's
telephone.
The whole business Is un-
savory and shabby in some Of
its aspects, and no more so
than in the basic doctrine
behind Mr.. Otepka's dis
charge. For this, and little
else in the Otepka case, Sec
rotary Rusk must bear
responsibility. He placed the
matter Of employe loyalty,
operating through channels
and playing on the team"
ahead Of the more important
matter Of the efficiency and
effectiveness Of Government
policy.
Now there is to be q trans
parently meaningless process
of appeal on Mr.. Otepka's
discharge In which Mr.. Rusk
and President Kennedy will
pass on their own decisions.
The Otepka case probably
never will become a flaming
public issue, and this Is too
bad because 1t so aptly illus
trates the Kennedy admin
istrstion technique of diver
sion and counteraction when
it comes under supported
criticism. This was the case
in the Billie Sol Estes scam
DIAL, in the Tx inveStiga-
tion, In the resignation of
Navy Secretary Korth, and
now once a gain when a
strong case has been made
against the personnel securi-
ty policies of the State De-
partment.

Security Officer Called Foe of Thickness
And Loxity and His Discharge Shabby

For this, Mr.. Otepka was
accused Of giving the subcom-
mittee secret or restricted
Observation-Disclosures by
the way, which was so in
nocuous and trifling In its
security content as to be
laughable.
To pin the goods on Mr..
Otepka, his associates In the
State Department tapped his
telephone. They locked him
out Of his office and denied
him access to his files. They
riffled through his waste
basket and explored his
burn bag" q container into
which telltale scraps Of pa
per must be dumped for
burning. He was openly
Inundated before other en-
ployes.
Mr.. Otepka got worse than
he ever gave to any applicant
for Federal employment, for
he was widely known as ra-
tional and careful In this
highly sensitive business.
The conclusion cannot be
escaped that the worst Of
tense this rational and care
full employe committed was
to have been connected with
the more strictly applied
security regulations of the
past. He was connected with
former officials whose
m DRY Is hated in some
state Department quarters.
And when he saw laxity and
thickness developing in per-
sonnet security he would not
be stilled by any fear Of los
ing his Job or the condemna-
ton of his superiors.
Mr.. Otepka denies the spe-
cific charges brought against
him, mainly Of clipping off
the classification stamps on
the documentary evidence he
supplied the Senate subcom-
mittee.
He did not do it, he says,
and 1t will be very hard to
prove that he did. for the

The Peace Corps, although
still comparatively popular in
Congress, seemed near a finan-
cial leveling-off as it awaited
House a action today on $102
million authorization bill.
The agency which received
about $50 million last year, re-
quested $108 million for the
current fiscal period which be-
gan on July /. The House For
eign Affairs Commute e
trimmed this to $102 million,
and the Rules Commute e
cleared the bill yesterday for
floor debate today.
The $1O2 million would en-
able the Peace Corps to have a
maximum of 1890 volunteers
in 49 foreign countries by next
August. AS of September, 1t
had $500 volunteers In 48
countries.
Described as probably the
fastest growing and one of the
most extensive programs of the
Federal Government, the Peace
corps. nevertheless, received
notice from the Foreign Affairs
Conn ittee chairman, Rep
reSentative Morgan, Democrat
Of Pennsylvania, that $102 mil
lion ought to be the peak.
He said any larger annual
outlay should not be expected
to win congressional approval
from now on.
His testimony at the hearine
yesterday was so pleasant tc

they promptly voted to senc
the authorization bill to the
House. Several members also
hailed Mr.. Morgan's statement
that the Peace Corps shoulc
not be expected to go on forev
er. He did not indicate how
much longer he thought Il
should continue.

consideration today woulC
merely set q ceiling for fund.
