Waiting Game on GouIIist Issue
By CROSBY 5. NO
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor
PARIS

PARIS
In the past few days two
distinct schools have grown
UP as to how to deal with
President Charles de Gaulle
over the coming months.
Both schools consider the
French President as some
thing Of q menace. Both feel
that his policies are funda-
mentally hostile to the At
lantic Alliance as it now ex-
lists and both assume that his
influence on the European
scene will be temporary.
The first school, primarily
American, holds that the
time has come to try to reach
some kind Of accommodation
with Gen. de Gaulle.
1t starts from the fact that
the French are once again
speaking with their allies
with reasonable politeness for
the first time since the great
explosion In January. United
States Secretary of State
Rusk. on his recent visit to
Paris, was agreeably sur
prised by his reception at
Elysee Palace. Lord Homes
courtesy call on Maurice
Couve de Murville was not
nearly as sticky as had been
feared. 49,
The thaw - Operation
Charm, as Paris papers called
it-seems to some q chance
that should not be missed.
Specifically, 1t is suggested
that President Kennedy
should stop in Paris in the
course Of his European trip
this spring. Or more seri-
ously it is urged that Gen. de
Gaulle himself should be in
vited to Washington on q
state visit and a serious effort
made to bring France back
into the NATO fold.
The other school, largely
anti Gaullist French, holds
that any such effort would be
disastrous.
This group holds that any
overt attempt to influence or
accommodate to Gen. de
Gaulle is doomed from the
outset. To attack him OPEN
", as some highly placed adj
ministration spokesman have
done is even worse. Both tao
tics amount to playing di-
rectly into the generals
hands and strengthening his
political position in Europe.
The same applies to Amer
lean initiatives designed to
counterfeit or circumvent the
more disagreeable features Of
Gaullist policy.
The Anti-U. s. Aspect
The attempt to set I'D a
NATO nuclear deterrent, for
example, is deplored even by
Europeans who are complete
ly sympathetic to the OBJ
jectives Of this exercise. Such
ardent critics Of Gen. de
Gaulle as Jean Jacques Ser
van-Schreiber, editor Of the
weekly newspaper Express,
admit ruefully that no pro-
posal which originates from
or which is backed by the
dominating power of the alli-
ance holds any real chance Of
success.
In the nuclear field all
such proposals are imme-
diately suspected Of serving

A BOOK FOR TODAY
Our Economy Carefully Examined
By DONALD MINTZ

Mr.. Berle begins with q Sec
ton on economic theory, and
more particularly with the
dissolution and regrouping of
old conceptions-conceptions
on which the American econ
omy operated when I was
young"
He goes on to q descrip-
ton Of the operation of our
major economic institutions
including government, money
and banking institutions,
controlled, semi controlled
and free markets, labor and
the socialized sector" that
is, the welfare state.
He continues with an
analysis Of our values as
they affect our economic life
and propounds the notion
that "the vital current that
has brought the American
social economic system to
unlimited heights of produc-
ton and, on the material
side, to unequaled comfort
for all but q small fragment
Of its population was not
materialist. but ethical"
He calls this ethical cur
rent the "transcendental
margin" and defines It as
"the product Of q value sys-
tenn that causes effort and
expenditure beyond that cal
culated as conducive TO the
personal advantage Of an in
dividual or his immediate
family group"
FINALLY, WE ARE Of
FEkED q group OF IA conclu-
sions. We read. for example,
that "the American system
has ceased TO be dominated
primarily by the philosophy
or the uncontrolled practice
OF free prices. free profits.
free wages"
Yet "the United States.
rightly. has preserved In
great measure the institu-
tons Of the free market ..
as q means 10 an end, and
not as O way OF economic
or political life" We do not
accept monopoly. except In a
few carefully defined and
regulated areas. But we do
accept "the principle Of the
administered price where
such administration makes
for full employment and
maximum purchasing power,
a justifiable price. and an
organization OF the industry
In which there Is continuous
capacity TO compete"
Very few Of us are salts
fled with our economy
exactly as II is. THE Ameri-
can Economic Republic"
helps 10 clarity opinions and
judgments. II should be
equally acceptable 10 right,
left and center.

American rather than Euro
pean interests. And once
again the net result is to
strengthen the arguments Of
the Gaullist school in favor
of an Independently con-
trolled European deterrent.
Anti Gaullists of the Ser
van-Schreiber school argue
that the solution to the
Gaullist menace can only be
found within a European
framework. 1t is the Euro
peans themselves who must
come up with counter-pro-
posals to defeat the generals
grand design for q self-Suf-
ficient, introverted Europe.
The most useful role that the
United States can play, they
believe, is a most discreet one,
allowing time for a new gen.
Grafton Of European leaders
to take over.
Impressive Argument
This argument to an OBJ
server in Europe. makes a
good deal Of sense. at least
for the short run. Within the
next few months, elections in
Britain, Germany, Holland
and Italy seem likely to pro-
duce governments more SYM
pathetic with American aims
in Europe and less complaint
to French leadership. If Eu-
ropean politics can be re-
duced to a popularity con-
test between President Ken
nedy and Gen. de Gaulle,
Mr.. Kennedy, for the time
being at least, is likely to
come off rather well.
To say this, however, Is to
greatly overSimplify the real
conflict in Europe and also
the nature of the challenge
that Gen. de Gaulle rep
reSentS.
This is by no means a
question Of personalities.
NATO as 1t now exists as
sumes a continued commit
ment of American military
power in Europe and also q
continuing dependence Of
Europe on the United
States for its military Sc
curity. To this basic propo-
sition is attached q num-
Der Of supporting arguments,
including the danger Of pro-
liberation of nuclear weapons
and the ruinorS cost of nu-
clear defense.
The Gaullist school holds
that this basic assumption
is no longer valid. In the
long run, either individually
or collectively, it Is argued,
Europe can and must de-
velop power to assure its own
security and exert its own
influence in world politics.
An alliance based on de-
tendency must be replaced
by an alliance among equals.
These are the rival con-
cepts which will clash In the
European political arena in
the coming months. It re-
mains to be seen which win
prevail and which will be
embraced by the new gen.
Grafton of leaders when they
take power. And If the Unit
ed States by itself can do
little to influence the de-
cision, it also remains to be
seen where its real long-term
interests lie.

Senate investigators arranged
today to have the General
Accounting office conduct q
new study to determine II the
holly disputed Tx warplane
contract will prove more costly
to the taxpayer.
Chairman Mcclellan Of the
Senate Investigations Sub
committee requested the study
in a letter to Controller Gen.
eral Joseph Campbell.
The Arkansas Senator sent
a copy Of his letter to Defense
Secretary Mcnamara and re-
quested that military depart
ments cooperate with the GAO
in the undertaking.
Totals 100 Planes
Mr.. Mcnamara has defended
repeatedly his award Of the
contract to the General Dy-
namics Corp. Of Fort Worth.
Tex, as proving less costly in
the long run. While the Gen.
eral Dynamics bid for the
multi purpose aircraft was
higher than that Of the Boeing
Aircraft Co. of Seattle, the
Secretary has argued that
Boeing submitted an unrealis-
tically low bid.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-05

that the Pentagon has submit
ted confusing figures and that
inaccuracies running INTO many
millions Of dollars have been
uncovered In the course Of the
investigation thus far. !
Gen. LeMay, In his testimony,
made IL, clear that he and other
military experts preferred the
Boeing design. But In a state
ment he told the subcommittee
that the civilian secretaries
have the responsibility Of MAX
ing the final decision:
I'VE accepted that decision

test 1t now. We, ct the pres
emit time, are implementing that

It was pointed out that more
than 275,000 man-hours Of
work were spent on evaluating
the rival Tx designs before
the military unanimously rec
commended the Boeing aircraft.

Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs OF

Academy of Foreign Affairs
would improve the teamwork
of Government officials in ad-
vancing the Nations interests.
He told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that a bill
to create the academy "has the
full support of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and the Secretary Of

Gen. Taylor went to bat for
the bill after some members OF

about it at the opening Of hear

tive of the President he was
