In view Of the political cli-
mate, Mr.. Kennedy wanted a
good deal that took into con-
sideration American inter-
ests. But as the negotiations
proceeded there was a back
away from the original
terms. Traders could find no
financial institutions which
were interested in risking
their money on Russian prom
ises to pay. Using Ameri-
can ships to the extent avail
able was watered down to
mean that so per cent of the
ships were to be American,
and now has virtually with
cred away altogether. Ship
pers claim they can't find
enough American ships to
carry the grain.
Since commercial credit
was not available, Treasury
Secretary Dillon offered to
have the deals underwritten
by the Governments Export
Import Bank. Shipments to
Hungary were so guaranteed,
and Hungary was willing to
pay the $3.50 to 81 per ton
differential caused by Ameri-
can shipping costs.
But the Soviet Union was
not willing to pay this differ
ential. Requiring the higher
shipping costs was a discrim-
nation against the Soviet
Union, 1t was claimed, and
Russia would not buy on
that basis. Capitalism, Khru-
shchev said in effect, would
not be permitted high profits
from communiSm's misfor-
tune. Whether or not Russia
will want United States Gov
ernment guaranteed credit is
yet to be seen, but Secretary
Dillon evidently thought so.

Feline Facts of Life
by x. JACK MIDDLETON. Purina Cat Care Center

One decision the cat owner must make sooner or later is to breed or not to breed his pet. Since female cat is capable of produc- ing dozens of kittens in her life time, and since most cat owners are incapable of finding homes for all of them, it's a good idea to have momma cat spayed after a litter or two.
 If having kittens underfoot isn't for you, your female can be spayed when it's four or five months old. Should you decide to let puss have a litter, here are a few maternity tips from the cat division of the Purina Cat Care Center, St. Louis, Mo.
 Prepare a box for use as maternity bed" we'll in advance of the occasion. Put it where mother and kittens will have pri- vacy and quiet. If momma cat spurns your carefully planned quarters and delivers in a closet or under the porch, move her family into the box after kittens are born.
 The little balls of fluff will open their eyes in about two weeks, but keep them in semi darkness for a few days until their eyes grow accustomed to the light.
 Neutering, or altering, a male cat is a simple operation which may be performed by a veteri- marian at anytime after the ani- mai is three months old. A ma tured unaltered tom has a natural urge to roam and fight. His sani- tary box will have g strong odor too.
 The altered tom is usually sweet tempered and playful. He will not. get fat and sluggish - unless he is on the wrong diet.

Treasury Secretary Dillon
reported today that the United
States balance Of payments has
improved during the last three
months.
He gave no figures in q
speech prepared for the annual
joint meeting Of the Interna-
tionsl Monetary Fund and the
World Bank. but said:
I'VE can already see indica-
tons that the deterioration in
our accounts during the first
half of the year is being ar
rested"
The payments deficit jumped
10 an annual rate Of IS billion
in the April-June quarter
maing the rate S4.2 billion fof
the first half Of 1868. That
compared with deficits Of S3.e
billion in 1860. s2.4 billion in
1851 and S2.2 billion in 1852.
The United States has def
icitS in its balance of pay
ments because the Government,
individuals and businesses
spend, lend. invest and give
away more money abroad than
they receive from foreign
sources. Continuing deficits
lead to losses Of gold. and can
undermine confidence in the
dollar.

Earlier yesterday, a third

for about four hours but then
was allowed to enter West

An Army helicopter circIed

The Soviet action created a

miles as civilian traffic waited
to get into West Berlin.
American authorities said
the delays yesterday were due
to a 'procedural question" and
protested to the Soviet COM
mander in East Germany.
When unusually large numbers
of American troops travel in

The sergeant planned to
leave the service and sought a
transfer to a civilian job in the

ing two lie detector tests.

These. Mr.. Sylvester reported,
disclosed prior actions on his
part involving petty thievery
and immoral conduct which
were considered to render him
unsuitable for employment at
NSA :"
The lie detector tests raised
questions about the Sergeant's
trustworthiness, Mr.. Sylvester
reported, so he was taken off
duty.
From May % on he was pre-
vented from handling classified
information, and it was dis
covered he was living beyond
his means" according to the
Defense Department.
Shortly after his suicide, in

Mr.. Sylvester said Sergt. Dun
lap had a relatively unimpor-
tant post and the general

wide area of highly classified
and sensitive information"
Others Point to Pay
Other informants said, how
ever, his security violations
were extremely serious and
pointed to Soviet willingness
to pay handsomely for his pill
fering.
Sergt. Dunlap joined the
Army in 1852 after an eight
year stint in the merchant ma
rine. He was wounded in COM

statements this past week have
renewed speculation on his in
terest in the presidential NOM
nation, Senator Goldwater
said, Il don't think the idea
has ever left him. It's per-
fectly normal for a man who
lost by so small a fraction of
a percentage to be a leading
candidate the next time"
Both in the press conference
and in the evening speech, SEN
ator Goldwater showed his
Willingness to test his ability"
against President Kennedy.
The game began when a re-
porter asked the Senator about
the Presidents press confer
ence quip that the months
ahead would try Senator Gold
waters endurance perser-
Fverance and agility"
The President is an expert
on agility" he replied. Hes
been Ike a man on a flying
trapeze ever since he's been
In office, avoiding decisions
and trying to avoid explana-
lions to the people for the
failures Of the New Frontier"
The Senator won his biggest
hand from the hockey arena
crowd when he defined the
program Of the present adj
ministration as government of
the Kennedys, by the Ken
nedys, and tor the Kennedys-
with agility"
A small group Of youthful
fans - mainly members of
Young Americans for Freedom
sat behind the platform with
homemade Goldwater for
President signs and tried with
out much success, to start a
demonstration for him.
Outside the arena, members
OF various Draft Goldwater
groups passed cut petitions
urging him to run.
Hits Green Machine
But for the most part, the
audience listened quietly and
applauded only sporadically as
the Senator read through his
prepared address.
The burden of his argument
one he has made in speeches
at various sites since last June
was that the Kennedy adj
min!stration is 80 beholden to
the bosses" that it must play

precinct politics with the hopes
Of the whole world"
He chose as his prime ex-
ample the so-called Green ma
chine in Philadelphia, headed
by Representative William j.
Green, a close ally and early
supporter Of the Presidents.
Republicans are mounting a
major offensive against Mr..
Green in next months Phila-
delphia mayoralty elections and
foresee an unusually close race
in that Democratic stronghold.
But Senator Goldwater's mes
sage was that "the Green ma
chine is not an isolated polit-
ical dictatorship. 1t is
sustained by its connections
with the national administra-
ton, with its patronage, its po-
litical power and its money
power. 1t Is protected by the
same connections"
THE best way to whip the
Green machine" he said, els
to return the national Govern
ment to the people. The Job
can only be done through the
Republican Party"
Republicans have been run
ming against Mr.. Green-in
outstate Pennsylvania with
marked success in recent years,
but the reaction to the Sena-
tors speech. though courteous,
seemed to indicate the $l00-a-
plate set expected something
more from a presidential hope
full.
Perhaps sensing this, Senator
Goldwater departed from his
text at the end of the speech
to issue pleas for tolerance
with the G. o. P.
I'VE are a minority party, F"
he said. I'VE can't afford to
read anybody out of the party.
His final words to the Penn
were: "On election
day, vote for the Republican,
unless he is personally obnox-
ious to you"

0fNSA Seen
By ROBERT X. WALSH
star san Writer

Congressional sources said
today that a House COMMITTEES
may try to determine whether
National Security Agency pro-
cedures which it criticized last
year were at fault in the case
Of an Army sergeant who sold
NSA secrets to Russia.
That criticism by the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities last year grew out of
the 1860 detection of two NsA
civilian mathematicians, Ber-
non F. Mitchell and William H.
Martin, who fled to the Soviet
Union by way Of Cuba.
Congressional sources dis
closed that committee members
were "keenly interested" in the
story Of Sergt. Jack Edward
Dunlap, who worked for NSA
at Fort Meade, Nd, received
about $4,000 from Russia, and
ended his life last July.
Military Not Tested
Committee Chairman Willis.
Democrat Of Louisiana, was
not Immediately available for
comment. Other sources indi-
Gated that the committee prob
ably would be as much con-
cerned about NSA security
shortcomings which might have
involved military personnel of
that agency as it was about
security procedures relating to
civilian employees of NSA last
year.
Committee investigations in
connection with the Mitchell
and Martin case brought out
that military personnel at NSA
were not tested by lie detectors
as civilian employees were in
sensitive jobs.
1t was explained that De-
tense Department screening of
employees for NSA was mainly
on an overall basis which ap-
piled to servicemen in general
and that NsA apparently took
servicemen for Agency duty
without further investigation
of its own.
In its August, 1862. report
the House committee stated
that 1t was amazed and
shocked by some of the facts
uncovered in the course of its
which began after the
detection of Mitchell and Mar
tin in July, 1860.
Charges Made
The report added, however,
that NSA followed up with
substantial changes and i'm
provements in the management
and procedures concerned with
security"
The late Representative Wal
ter, Pennsylvania Democrat
who then headed the commit
tee, introduced a bill which the
House passed in September,
1862, and again last May by
340-40 votes.
Both bills, on which the Sem
ate has taken no action, were
designed to tighten security
standards for the employment
and retention of NSA employees.
The bill also would authorize
the Secretary of Defense and
the NSA director to summarily
any NSA employee
whenever he considers such
action to be in the interest of
the United States"
