WATCHING THE WORLD
Roles of Peking and De GouIIe
By CROSBY S. NOYE
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

outlook for Europe is global
in its scope. And when he
speaks of the decisive role
that Europe can play-in It's
own right - in the conflict
between East and West, there
is no doubt that he means 1t.
The Gaullist heresy, there
fore, could become quite as
serious as the theological rift
between Moscow and Peking.
And in the same way 1t al
ready intrudes itself newt
ably into the larger East
West dialogue that is taking
place.
Watching for a Formula
1t is no coincidence, for
example, that Russian For
eign Minister Gromyko
should be concerned about
how we propose to make the
French conform to any agree
ment on nuclear testing that
may be reached. We are no
less anxious about the Chi
nese. If a formula could be
found that would successfully
restrain both allies, both we
and the Russians would no
doubt be delighted. But on
both sides the prospects Of
finding such a formula are
extremely dim.
Inevitably also the Gaullist
heresy, boldly proclaimed, in
wolves shifts and strains in
the alliance similar to those
which have been going on in
the Communist bloc for many
months. Gen. de Gaulle him
self has gone out of his way
to dramatize this split with
a calculating eye on the re-
actions that would be pro-
voked. The events of the last
10 days-the slamming Of the
door on Britain's bid to join
the Common Market, the re-
buff to the Washington offer
Of Polaris missiles, the "his-
toric" treaty of Franco-Ger-
man solidarity-all fit quite
perfectly into the Gaullist
scheme Of things.
Whether or not this scheme
becomes a reality depends in
the long run on whether Gen.
de Gaulle's concept of Europe
and its role in world affairs
is a tolerable one for the
other members of the alli-
ance. For the time being, de-
spite the angry talk, one sus-
poets that there will be no
revolt in the Common Market
group itself over the issue Of
Britain's entry. At least as
long as German Chancellor
Adenauer is in power, con-
struction Of Europe is likely
to proceed according to the
French blueprint.
The prospect, no doubt, is
a painful one for Washington,
requiring serious rethinking
on a number of basic prob
lens. In the end, Gen de
Gaulle's concept of an equal
partnership for Europe within
the Western alliance may not
turn out to be as hostile to
American interests as it may
now appear. And patience
may be the best formula for
keeping the fractions French
leader under control.

@. How is gold bullion de-

Air Cover Denial

Attorney General Robert
Kennedy denies that the
United States planned any
air cover during the Inflated
Cuban invasion. But, why
would the Kennedy admins
tration wait 81 months to re-
port this? And why should
the head of the Justice De-
partment be the one to deny
it instead of one of President
Kennedy's military advisers,
the Pentagon, or the CLAP
This only leads one to be-
lieve that the administration
either has something to hide
or the Attorney Generals
statement is unfounded.

Wotergote Towne

James a. Mlller asks
(Star. January Ia why the
Vatican is accused Of Sec
tartan privilege in connec-
ton with exemptions in the
coming code for its SIS mil
lion Watergate Towne prof.
ect. The facts are quite simple.
In the District there are
no skyscrapers. Buildings
here have always been rigor-
ously limited to an above
ground height of 80 feet. The
reason was that 1t was con-
sidered undesirable to have
construction which topped
the dome Of the Capitol and
dwarfed other national
shrines.
Many have sought the
abrogation Of this rule. The
new Hilton Hotel now rising
here longed for a greater
height which would provide a
far more lucrative invest
ment. The Hilton interests
we're rigidly held TO the 90
foot limit.
But Watergate Towne, a
Vatican-owned and con-
trolled project, despite the
various dummy corporations
involved, got quick permis-
sion TO go TO 1870 feet. It
got what nobody else could
get and got II with ridiculous
ease. Why2 Because It is not
considered healthy TO oppose
anything the Vatican wants;
because OF the reverential
awe that is placed around
everything which pertains TO
this group.
II II we're not for this,
the Vatican would fare no
better than others have
Jared In its quest for spe-
cial privilege in the build
ing regulations, All persons
who love the Nations Cap
ital and want TO preserve its
traditional beauty and good
taste should protest against
this special privilege.

Message to Europe

Back during the bleak DAYS of
I World War II, Sir Winston Churchill
is supposed to have said that of all
the crosses he had to bear the heaviest
was the Cross of Lorraine. Now, some
20 years later, with Charles de Gaulle
as the ruler of France rather than as
refugee patriot in England waiting
for the Western alliance to return him
to his native land, an American Presi-
dent is saying pretty much the same
thing.
Mr.. Kennedys words were soft,
even conciliatory, but his meaning was
clear enough.
'a Today, he said, all free men live
under the continuing threat of Com
muniSt aggression. With their combined
resources, they can successfully oppose
this threat. Divided, however, there is
no certainty that either the United
States or Europe can survive. Conse-
-uuently, Mr.. Kennedy argued, "that
which serves to unite us is right, and
what tends to divide us is wrong"
. The logic of this argument seems
compelling enough. But it presumably
will be wasted on General de Gaulle.
For he has set his hand to a course
which leads to disunity, not to unity.
He seems not so much to want Europe
for the Europeans as he wants Europe
for De Gaulle. And he has even gone
so far as to suggest that the United
States cannot be trusted to honor its
commitment to come to the defense Of
Europe, in event of attack, with all
necessary means To say the least, this
comes with Scant grace from man who
saw the massive armed might of the
United States thrown into the successful
but bitter struggle to hberate his France
from the NaziS, who watched while
American wealth was poured generously
into the successful effort to rebuild the
wrecked French economy, who knows
that even now 100000 American soldiers
(where are the Frenchmen?) are at
their battle stations in Europe as a
token of our good faith and firm in
tentions If the day should come when
the people of the United States decide
to pull back and cut their commit
ments, it will not be due to any lack Of
resolution. Nor will it be because they
expect gratitude for things done in the
past. But 1t is possible, just possible,
that the time will come when they will
have had all they can tolerate Of wrong
headedness and false insinuation.
Mr.. Kennedy did not speak so
bluntly. He was trying to focus light
on the danger and to invoke the arts
OF persuasion.
= He could hardly have had much
expectation, however, that he would
be able to persuade General de Gaulle,
for the French President is not anne
nable to persuasion. He is too much
assured Of his own infinite wisdom. But
President de Gaulle, though a figure
Of great Importance, is not Europe.
There are others, on the continent and
in France, and one must hope that the
force Of the Presidents argument will
not be lost upon them

(Rober B. Luce, inc, $500
Stefan Ilok is not the

he says, lit is one by which
I am known to the Slovak

Brotherhood Of Silence"
is the story of some of the
people in this underground,
their successes and failures.
At the center is Flip Pol
hora, Prince Of Couriers." a
man whose ingenuity in get
ting from place to place un-
der the most trying circum-
stances and avoiding certain
capture is nearly unbelievable.
Suppose, for example, that
you were carrying tubes and
spare parts for a clandestine
radio station through a rail-
road terminal and found that
the security police had lined
everyone up and were max
ing a systematic search Of
luggage and packages. Run
ming for 1t is out Of the ques-
ton. That would get you

WHAT FLIP POLHORA
did is simplicity itself, pro-
vided one has the wit to
think Of 1t. He found him
self standing still on line
near a newsstand. So he lit
a match, dropped the lit
match into a full box of
matches, and gently dropped
the box onto a pile Of news
papers. The fire caused con-
fusion. The confusion caused
the neat lines OF waiting
people to disintegrate into an
excited crowd. FLIP Polhora
ran and escaped.
Then there is the story Of
the Church of Silence clan
destinely ministering to the
devout Catholics Of rural
Slovakia. And with 1t the tale
OF the dramatic escape Of a
brainwashed and subse-
quently recovered priest who
ultimately reported TO the
Vatican.
Bits of sabotage here and
there, a few secret radio sta
tions these things have very
little material effect on the
Communist state. Mr.. Ilok
does not dwell much on their
moral effect, but what he
does say, he says with pas
sion and conviction. There is
little doubt that these ac-
tivities are Of great psyche
logical Importance.
None the less, Mr.. Ilok tells
us, the emphasis has shifted

less traditional underground

D. c. Budget Message

The budget message for the
District sent to Congress by
President Kennedy is a mile
stone which should bring
cheer and hope to all citizens
of the city. Most important
is the fact that for the first
time the interest of the Pres
ident in the Capital City has
been demonstrated for all,
especially congressman, to
see.
The League of Women Vot-
ers is delighted with both the
revenue and expenditure pro-
posals. We believe that the
Presidents plan for an equi-
table Federal payment, for a
balanced program Of local
tax increases and for ex-
panded, flexible borrowing
authority will give the District
a basis on which to plan
ahead for the many services
and facilities 1t urgently re-
quires. Relating the size o. the
Federal payment each year to
the local tax structure ap-
pears to be just. The changes
in the composition of the
city's population and their
significance for expanding
municipal services are well
stated; i.e., school-age chill
dren, the elderly and the
lower income portions Of our
population have increased
disproportionately, thus in
creasing the cost of local gov
ernment.
The Presidents budget pro-
posals for our schools are es-
pecially timely Just now when
so much negative comment is
being heard as a result Of the
Thanksgiving Day Stadium
violence. The League of
Women Voters believes that
to correct the long-range
problems highlighted by the
Citizens Committee Report
will require, among other
things, the Improvements
which an increased budget
can provide for the school
system more classroomS,
teachers, counsellors, spe-
cial services. These needs
and problems are not
unique to Washington. They
are shared by all large urban
areas today. What is unique
is our political helplessness to
work toward solutions. The
Presidential message offers
us hope and we count on
Congress to make these high
hopes a reality.

eral pay. Through the Salary Reform
Act Of 1862, however, 1t has granted an
unusual degree of administrative lati-
tude in the hope of fostering superior
civil service. 1t remains now for the

that decision was a wise one.

West really are. But even If
every bit were totally use
less, the very act of getting
it out of the country would
continue to be tonic to the
underground.
THE READER, along with
Mr.. Ilok, will feel sadness
and anger at the inevitable
fate of so many members of
the movement.
But he will also be sad
dened by something Mr.. nok
accepts as just and indeed
somehow consonant with the
laws of nature. The Slovak
Underground is Just that-a
purely Slovakian organiza-
tion. Its members are on the
whole separatists who want
nothing to do with Czechs.
They do not accept Commu-
mist Czechoslovakia. Neither
did many of them accept the
democratic Czechoslovakia Of
the inter-war years. Not even
in the deepest tribulation has
1t occurred to them that
among their neighbors in
Bohemia and Moravia there
must be decent people who,
themselves oppressed, do not
consider the oppression Of
Slovakia the greatest good
for which a man can strive.
This rigid attitude will not
bring peace to the world.
Brotherhood of Silence" is
essentially a personal story
rather than a chronicle Of
the underground. 1t suffers
from a certain stiffness
around the dialogue, but CIV
en- the books background
and purpose, 1t hardly makes
much difference.
What remains is a story Of
vast courage and heroism
flawed by the Slovak Under
grounds inability to accept
its fellow countrymen as
such.

PARIS

PARIS
The comparison is invid-
ious, even odious perhaps.
The fact remains that it is
being made.
If China is a problem to the
Communist bloc, the West
faces a similar problem with
France. If Nikita Khrushchev
has his Mao Tse-tung. Pres
ident Kennedy has his
Charles de Gaulle.
There is just enough truth
in the comparison to follow
1t for a short distance.
Most certainly the dispute
with President de Gaulle is
an theological dispute in the
truest sense Of the word. If
it is not over adaptation of
Marxist-Leninist doctrine to
the modern world, 1t is over
the fundamental doctrines
that have guided the West
since the beginning Of the
cold war.
Both disputes involve an
open challenge to the tradi-
tional leadership Of respec-
tive blocks. AS Mao Tse-tung
questions that the font of
all Communist inspiration is
to be found in Moscow, Gen.
de Gaulle doubts that the
cradle of Western civilization
is to be found in the attic Of
the White House.
The dialogue between Paris
and Washington is couched
in more elegant language,
but the meaning is hardly
less intransigent. In every
sphere - political, economic
and military the Europe"
Of Gen. de Gaulle tends to
have purpose, personality
and a potential Of its own,
free of anglo Saxon" influ-
ence or control.
The "interd e pendence"
which has been the corner
stone of American policy in
Europe since World War II
is coldly declined. The 'indi-
visibility" of Western secu-
rity which Washington tire
lessly emphasizes has no
meaning in Gen. de Gaulle's
view.
Doctrines Long Known
This idea, furthermore, has
been long a-brewing. In q
sense, "Gaullism" came into
its own in France with the
generals press conference on
January IA. All that hac
gone before-including SET
tling of the Algerian war and
the consolidation of presiden-
tial power had been mere
preliminary exercise.
And yet. the grand design
Of Gaullist doctrines has al.
ways been known. The blunt
decisions announced at the
press conference simply gave
concrete form to concept,
fully spelled out in all of the
generals writings and public
statements covering many
years.
1t would be foolish to dis.
miss these concepts as Just 8
