Open Nerves

Coming at the end Of q week
Of continued discussion in Con-
greSs about Cuba, however, the
incident touched exposed nerves
in Washington. Some Congress
men advocated a tougher" policy
on Cuba, including chasing Cuban
planes back to Cuba to shoot
them down II necessary.
Anticipating the outcry from
the halls Of Congress. the White
House on Thursday put out q
statement which said "a strong
protest" had been lodged with
Cuba over "the attack by Cuban
aircraft over an unarmed Ameri-
can fishing vessel" It said in cool
diplomatic terms that the United
States expected 70 full explana-
ton from Cuba"
And, in the event Of a further
provocation. "orders have been
given to the armed forces to take
all necessary action against any
repetition Of such an attack"
The White House. however, i'm
plicitly distinguished between
these planes-which 1t said were
"Cuban"-and the offensive
weapons" which have been at the
root of the Cuban crisis which
began last october. The offensive
weapons" we're Soviet owned and
operated, and in all communica-
tons dealing with the medium
and intermediate range missiles
and the n-28 Jet bombers, the
United States made its represen-
tations directly to Moscow. ignor-

The Outlook

BY the end Of last week, how
ever, there were these develop
ments which suggest that activity
in the House will pick up and
that the Senate will. at last, get
down to legislative business:
0 The Lincoln Day holidays,
which annually take most mem
bers. Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans, out Of town, are over.
Q The argument over Senate
committee assignments Is due to
be disposed of tomorrow in votes
on the floor.
Q The House Ways and Means
Committee, which heard Budget
Director Gordon last week. will
continue its important tax bill
hearings tomorrow and take UP
the matter of the Federal debt
limit in the next few days.
. With two more messages last
week, most Of the Presidents
m al or legislative recommenda-
tons for the year have been pre-
scented to Congress.
Mr.. Kennedy's latest messages
covered urban mass transit and
aid for the aged. The recommen-
dations In the messages were es-
sentially the same as those he
sent to the 87th Congress, which
failed to enact them.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
The 18th Congress:
Avery Slow Starter

President Kennedy last week
sent 10 Congress a new mes
sage calling for medical aid TO
the aged under social security.
While slow starts are not I'M
usual for a new Congress-there
is an inclination to wait for the
parade Of presidential messages
and legislative recommendations
the 88th is already one of the
slowest.
The blame Is not so much on
the House. 1t has several commit
tees busy on legislation, although
Chairman Adam Clayton Powell's
Education and Labor group has
been at skies and sevens because
of his penchant for taking I'M
scheduled holidays.
The Senate is another matter.
More than six weeks after Con-
gress convened the upper cham
Der has not yet been organized.
First there was the abortive eff
fort by liberals In both parties to
change the rules on debate so
that 1t would be easier to kill any
filibuster.
Then there is the still-alive
dispute over committee assign
ments. Liberal Democrats believe
they are Disseminated against
when 1t comes to appointments
to the more powerful panels.
They seek enlarged memberships
for the Appropriations, Finance
and Foreign Relations Commit
tees.

Cuban Planes

The MIG fighters-apparently
Of the earlier MIG-l5 model
are owned and operated by Gu
bans. They are part Of the vast
arsenal supplied to Cuba by the
Soviet bloc since the abortive Bay
OF Pigs invasion in April, 1861.
Washington has taken note of
these defensive" weapons and
not included them on the pro-
scribed list Of arms that must be
removed.
In a middle ground between
offensive" and defensive" weap-
ons are the more than 1900
Soviet military men who have

months. Some are training cadres.

The Pentagon has not believed
that these Soviet troops have any

threat next door TO the United

elusive adjective "Chinese"-will

Transit Proposals

: The Presidents transit propos-
al calls for appropriations of $500
million over a three-year period
for grants and loans to States
and local agencies. Its purpose is
to ID assist in the development
Of improved mass transportation
and % encourage planning and
felp finance the establishment of
area-wide urban mass transporta-
ton systems.
Mass transit legislation was re-
ported In both houses last year,
but the Rules Committee held 1t
up In the House and 1t got lost
in the adjournment rush In the
Senate after being switched from
the Banking and Currency Com
mittee to the Commerce Commit
tee.
More controversial than mass
transit. however. is the 36-point
aid for the aged proposal Mr..
Kennedy made to Congress in a
special message on Thursday.
The major item of interest In
the proposal was the once
rejected medicare plan for hos
pital and nursing home insurance
for our senior citizens.
The President did not attempt
TO make the proposal more at
tractive to a group Of liberal Re-
publicans In the Senate by pro-
viding an option for private health

did not now provide for participa-
ton by companies was not i'm
Immediately made known. Last
summer, the White House agreed
to the option as part Of a COM
promise bill which was only mar
rowly rejected by the Senate.
In his message, Mr.. Kennedy
also asked Congress for better
housing for the elderly and great
er employment opportunities. pro-
lection against medical quackery
and more recreation for. them.
The cost of the whole program,
over a five-year period, was esti-
mated by administration aides at
just under $40 billion.
What are the prospects for the
most controversial item in the
omnibus plan-medicare under
social security?
The President, who made q
strong bid for popular support
for the program at his news con-
ference on Thursday, asserted
that he believed 1t had a good
chance" for passage this year.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Cuba: Widening Issue

The Soviet Union told the
United States last week that II
was beginning the removal Of
several thousand" Soviet
troops from Cuba. The Soviet
note came In = week marked by
continued controversy over
American policy In Cuba and BY
the visit Of Venezuela'S anti
Communist President Betan-
court TO this country.
Late Wednesday afternoon four
Cuban-owned MIG Jet fighters
passed over the Ala. q 67-foot
privately owned American shrimp
boat, which was disabled In the
Straits Of Florida midway be-
tween Key West and Cuba.
As the two crewmen on the boat
waved a white cloth for help they
noticed two of the Jets coming to-
ward them, firing rockets which
landed in the sea, about 40 yards
from the boat. When United
States Marine FAB Phantom in
terceptors appeared on the hori-
zon. the MICS left and returned
to Cuba.
1t was not clear what prompted
the firing. Indeed, 1t was not
known whether the planes were
attacking" the vessel as the
White House charged later, or
we're merely frightening the help
less fishermen. Havana radio
said Cuban planes at the time
we're looking for two stolen fish
ing boats, and 1t is possible that
the disabled vessel was mistaken
for a stolen one since the Alas
United States flag was not flying.
At his press conference on
Thursday afternoon, President
Kennedy acknowledged that he
didn't know "the full reasons be-
hind this attack on this vessel,
whether 1t was q deliberate deci-
sion by the Cuban government or
a decision by the pilots involved"

NATO:
NucIeor Force

Retired State Department Of
fetal Livingston Merchant ar
rived In Europe on Friday for
several weeks Of talks about the
multi-natiOnal nuclear force
within the NATO alliance.
One of Charles de Gaulle's most
emphatic arguments has been
against American domination OF
the Vests nuclear power. His
logic is simple: There may arise
time when the United States
and Europe have different strate-
gic interests. Thus. Europe should
have its own nuclear deterrent
for its own special needs.
His argument had considerable
appeal after the Cuban crisis.
Many Europeans realized how
close they came TO being drawn
into an about war over what TO
them Twas an insignificant dis
pute in the Caribbean. They said
bAiob SuDd was Case WI1eT6
Americans acted in their own in
terests. Might not the converse
be true2 Might not the United
States refuse to help Europe II
her interests were not threat
ened?
The Cuban crisis only made
more dramatic what long had
been a touchy issue between the
United States and her allies. Ma
tons which have disagreed with
Mr.. de Gaulle's separation never
theless have wanted more influ-
ence in nuclear policy making,
both for military and political
reasons.
The Eisenhower administration
made proposals to supply NATO
with nuclear submarines, but
since Congress insisted that these
submarines be subject TO United
States control. the propc ais had
little appeal TO the Europeans.
The same response greeted sirn@
liar offers by Mr. Kennedy. Euro7
peans still demanded more
meaningful participation In de-
termining nuclear policy.

america to their economic, social
and political capabilities.
Administration leaders - in
GLIDING Mr.. Kennedy and Adlai
E. Stevenson and Dean Rusk-
have all emphasized that the real
threat TO this hemisphere is not
from militant Cuba. Rather. 1t is
from the blind hatred that might
erupt If the people Of the hemi-
sphere are not given the opportu-
mites everyone has craved in this
century.
BY focusing on the dangers
from Cuba. Washington believes
that the public looks upon Latin
American problems In too simple
terms. II Castro is crushed, this
line Of reasoning goes. 1t does not
follow that Castroism will be
wiped out. Castroism Is bred in
slums. in the countryside. and in
the minds of people throughout
the hemisphere. 1t can only be
eradicated by liberal doses of eco
nomic, social and political i'm
provement.
Mr.. Castro is obviously In a
difficult position. Cut off from
normal commerce with the rest OF
the world. he must rely on Soviet
economic help - estimated at
about a million dollars a day
but he dislikes being a stooge OF
the Soviet Union. He advocates
violent revolution at a time when
Moscow is preaching peaceful CO.
existence. His emotional brothers

New Approach

In the aftermath OF the Cuban
scare. and spurred by the collapse
Of the Skybolt project, the United
States and Great Britain agreed
on a new multi national APP
proach TO nuclear policy - the
Nassau pact. Officials believe that
the pact went a long way to-
ward meeting Europe's desire for
a greater role in It's own security.
The pact Is less than two
months old. and its details are
still being discussed. In outline
form. this Is how officials see the
multi-national force developing:
. At the core OF the force would
be several American and several
British nuclear submarines, armed
with American-made Polaris mis-
siles. These ships would be at
tached 10 the force, but in a SUI
preme national emergency. they
could be detached for national
use. Other countries could build
submarines and receive Polaris
missiles If they wanted. But since
other nations do not have nu-
clear know-how. 1t is proposed
that they would only be expected
10 build surface vessels.
. The surface ships would be
conyentionally powered, and
would be more numerous than
the submarines, These ships
might be Jointly manned. and
would also carry missiles. For
strategic reasons there might be
some decoys In the fleet de. ships
that look like armed vessels but
without weapons
. Control over the weapons
would reside IN a Joint command

some sort Of executive council
would be chosen, with Britain

kept up a running barrage against
the White House, warning of the
consequences II the troops were
not removed. The continued pres
ence of the Soviet flag was an
irritant to many in Washington.
Some like Senator Stennis were
provoked to a point where they
advocated an invasion TO topple
communism in Cuba.
Finally. last Monday President
Kennedy called together a top
level group of Congressmen and
Senators for an early evening
meeting in the White House. He
told them, In substance. what the

Labor:
ShipDispute

The Supreme Court on Mon

ships manned by alien seamen.
The President on Thursday
blasted the local Printers

called for independent deter

the 79-day newspaper strike.
Largely because Of the costly
demands Of the seafaring unions,
many American companies have
registered their ships abroad
particularly in Panama, Liberia
and Honduras and manned
them with foreign citizens.
The companies call these ships
flags of necessity" The Ameri-
can unions call them flags of

organize the alien crews Of these
ships, many Of which are tankers.
