sons for It are quite different.
there has rarely been more
Illustration at all levels Of the
service or more disagreement
between the rank-and-file for
eign service officer and the Of
ficial policy of the State De-
partment.
The complaint that +" They
don't listen to us" is more
common today than 1t was
when John Foster Dulles was
supposed to be carrying the
State Department around in
his hat. The most important
policy decisions--the multilat-
eral nuclear force is a good
example-apparently are taken
without any reference to any
one in the field.
The results produce an all
too-familiar pattern: The fail
ure Of policies based on false
assumptions, bewilderment and
disillusion in Washington. the
shifting Of blame to "unco-
operative" European leaders
and q rising chorus Of isola-
tionism calling for American
disengagement from an UNI
grateful Europe.
This is q pattern Mr.. Ken
nedy alone perhaps has the
power to reverse. II his trip to
Europe produces any such re-
suit, 1t will be time well spent.
And its Importance to the flu
ture Of the alliance would be
very real.

. The House Appropriation
COMMITTEE has told the De-
sfense Department to reduce
the number Of civilian clerical
Jobs.
The House committee said
that although the Defense De-
partment has been using an
increasing amount Of auto.
matte data processing equip
ment, there has not been
proportionate reduction In
clerical help.
"It is imperative that con-
certed effort be made to elm
mate unnecessary expenses"
the House group declared as 1t
reported the Defense Depart
ment's fiscal 1864 appropria-
tons bill.
Although the committee did
not provide for any specific
cuts In clerical Jobs, 1t made
1t clear that 1t expected Army,
Navy. Air Force and the Office
Of the Secretary Of Defense ia
get started on the objective,
and that the committee would
look closely at the results next
year.
The committee declared:
Each year the Defense De-
partment acquires additional
automatic data processing
equipment to perform an in
,oreasing portion Of the multi
.tude of routine administrative
tasks necessarily associated
with the operation Of the de.
partment.
Despite the reduction In
civilian personnel which hai
been achieved since 1862. the
committee Is not convinced
that there has been q proper
donate reduction in clerical
help In those areas for which
the automatic data processing
equipment has been obtained"
The House unit also called
for increased Defense Depart
ment efforts 10 eliminate un-
necessary work. obtain more
favorable prices for the Gov
eminent In the maintenance
contracting area. and develop
more realistic work measure
ment factors to evaluate the
work production OF various Of
fees engaged In routine ad-
ninistrative work"

House Unit Calls for Clerk Cuts
As Defense Builds Up Automotion

To achieve this, the commit
tee said. it would like to see
greater use Of contract-review
auditors, internal auditors and
other management specialists
to investigate these conditions.
The House committees bill
would provide for $4,000 fewer
Defense Department civilian
Jobs than authorized q year
ago. However. most Of these
Job cuts were ordered by De-
tense Secretary Mcnamara
during the past year and con-
sequently have already been
made or are in the process of
being made.

NAVY RATIO CONTINUED
Despite the appeal Of Gov

House Appropriations Commit
tee retained in the Defense De-
partment 1854 money bill last
years provision which requires
that at least IS per cent Of
Navy ship repair. conversion
and alteration work be done by
private shipyards.
Employee leaders complained
that this provision last year
cost the jobs Of 5000 Navy
civilian workers and that its
continuation would result in
even greater job losses during
the coming year.

Mr.. Macy assured the Iowan
that mo pressure" Is being

explaining how these various
features Of policy fit into the
overall picture Of American re.
lations with Europe. It is, In
fact, a problem Of rebuilding
the grand design" so uncere-
moniously scattered by Gen
de Gaulle along lines that take
into account the realities OF
European politics as they exist
today.
The core Of this problem as
recognized by everyone is the
growing economic and military
power Of Europe. This realty
affects the politics Of every
country in Europe. 1t finds
various forms Of expression Of
which the policies Of France
under Gen. de Gaulle are only
the most extreme and perhaps
also the most effective.
This is an assertion of the
goal Of nondependency Of Eu-
rope on the United States as
a more or less long-term prop
osition. It applies to all fields
economic and political as well
as military.
It draws sharp distinctions
between cooperation and de-
tendency. It feeds on nation
alism, growing regional pride
and misgivings about the re-
liability Of traditional alliances
In q nuclear age.
Any grand design" that
fails to take these factors into
account has little chance Of
success in Europe today. In
the past. the policies of the
New Frontier in Europe have
reflected attitudes that have
long since lost their validity.
New Viewpoint Needed
What was sound in the early
days of the Marshall Plan /,
absurd today. An updating Of
American thinking toward Eu-
rope and the alliance is the
most valuable contribution Mr.
Kennedy could make in the
course of his coming trip.
No doubt the President will
also strongly reassert Ameri-
can commitment to the de-
tense Of Western Europe. Such
public commitments, especially
in places like Berlin, are al
ways warmly received. One
suspects, however. that their
influence on major trends
within the alliance are mar
ginal.
The reason Is that the trend
In Europe toward greater self
reliance in defense and other
fields is not inspired by any
distrust Of the United States
today or any uneasiness about
Mr.. Kennedy's own intentions
1t arises rather from an in
stinctive feeling that no group
of nations can afford to en-
trust its security to another
nation as a permanent prop.

PARIS, June 22.-Whatever
validity or value President Ken
nedy's forthcoming trip to
Europe may have. 1t will have
to be supplied by the President
himself.
Enough perhaps already has
been said from the European
standpoint about the untimeli-
ness Of the visit. The sad fact
is that our European allies
are almost all in q state Of I'M
usual confusion. The only
leader Of stature worth talking
to at this stage is President
de Gaulle, and he is being de-
liberately ignored.
This being said, 1t does not
follow necessarily that the trip
will prove nothing. The pres
ence Of the American President
in Europe Is in itself an event
Of considerable Importance. And
there are indications that Mr..
Kennedy himself will seize the
