New Postal Chief
Might Be From
Postal Field

Was President Kennedy just
looking for a way out Of an
embarrassing question, or is he
about to promote somebody in
the Post Office Department to
be Postmaster General?
That question was raised by
the Presidents answer to a re-
porter who asked him at a press
conference late yesterday II he
has narrowed his search for q
new Postmaster General and II
he is seeking somebody with
q business background or q
political background"
Mr.. Kennedy replied: THE
search is narrowing, but we
haven't-there are other fields
that are still to be considered,
including even a postal back
ground"
Frederick J. Belen, Assistant
Postmaster General for opera
tons, is among those who have
been mentioned for appoint
ment to succeed Edward Day,
who resigned recently as Post
master General.

The Federal Reserve Boarc
statistical comparisons basec
on the 57-59 base as 100, il
was 119 in January, and I think
127 now, and it arose, I think
a point in the last month.
Unemployment is Sc per cent

So I would think that the state
Of the economy Is good. e.
OF course, you have to have
a very substantial rise in order
to take care of the number Of
people coming into the labor
market. What we must be
concerned about always, Of
course, is the future. That il
why 1 considered the tax bill
so essential.
@. Can you bring us up tt
date, sir, on the Soviet trooT
strength in Cuba? Has there
been q net reduction In re.
cent weeks and months?
A. Yes, there has been a de.
cline since my last confer
ence, I think we discussed Il
about two months ago. Tit
intelligence community judges
that there has been a decline
and the primary emphasis o.
those who remain now is IL
training, and not in concen'
trated military units. But there

Negroes Job Quotas
Opposed by Kennedy

President Kennedy has come
out fatty against any quota
system on jobs for Negroes.
The President told a press
conference late yesterday that
everyone should be given "fail
chance" for employment but
mot through a quota"
In New York and some other
places there have been DEM
onstrations demanding that a
certain percentage of jobs be
set aside for racial minorites.
Asked his views about Job
quotes by race" the President
sand: II don't think quotas
are a good idea. I think it is a
mistake to begin to assign
quotas on the basic of religion
or race or color or nationality"
On the other hand, he en-
phaSized: II do think that we
ought to make an effort to give
a fair chance to everyone who
is qualified.
But not hard and fast
quotas" he added. I'VE are too
mixed-this society of ours
to begin to divide ourselves on
the basis Of race or color"
The President also was asked
what he thought about the
general idea attributed to some
Negro leaders that Negroes are

No Plan for Big 3
To Go to u. N.

@. Sir, there have been re-
ports that If the limited nu-
clear test ban treaty is rati-
fled, that you and Prime Min
lister Macmillan and Soviet
Premier Khruschev might &c
to the United Nations and reg
lister it there. If the treaty is
ratified, do you see a possibility
Of comforting with them there,
and with other leaders, such as
Marshal Tito
A. No, there has been no such
plan. 1t has been suggested that
! might speak at the United
Nations, but I know Of no deci-
sion which has been made on
that, but as fas as any ceremony
of ratification or summit meet
ing involving ratification at the
U. NJ, I would think that would
be very unlikely.
@. Mr.. President, in your view
what do you think the effect OF
the August % march will be,
both on the country and on the
Congress?
A. 1 wouldn't think the
the purpose. Of course, is to
attempt to bring to the atten-
ton Of the Congress and the
country the strong feeling of a
good many thousands Of citizens,
What we are really talking
about is a problem which in

have a position on that posi-

A. No. AS I said. I think we
would be interested to hear
what Gen. de Gaulle might pro-
pose. How you are going tc
control the system. Without in
spection we can detect atmos-
pheric tests. The Soviet Union
has been reluctant to have the
kind of inspection which would
permit us to have under
ground tests detected. Is there
any evidence that they would
accept the kind Of very de-
tailed inspection that control
of a delivery system would en-
tail when it gives out no signal
as a nuclear explosion does?

1862 Atomic Tests
Impressive Series

@. DR.. Teller has charged
that the administration cur
tailed a number of the atmos-
pheric tests last year, for what
he called political reasons in
order not to ALLEVIATE public
opinion. Could you say
whether those atmospheric
tests we're curtained and why?
A. No, we had set up a
committee in the National Sc
curity Council headed by DR.,
Seaborg, and we heard recon-
mendations from the various
laboratories. Los Alamos and
Livermore, from the Acc, from
the Department Of Defense,
and others, what tests would be
most valuable. Obviously we
don't like to test in the atmos-
phere unless the test is es-

Partial Transcript Of Presidents News Conference
Follo,pino Is a partial tert

FOLLOWING Is a partial teri
OF President Kennedy's ne1Os
conference yesterday:
The President: Good after
noon. The House Of Represent
atives begins this week con-
sideration of legislation vital to
the security and well being of
the United States and the free
world-the mutual defense and
assistance bill of 1864. I hope
the House will give full support
to the authorization recon-
mended by the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Our foreign aid program is
essential to the continued
strength Of the free world. 1t
gives us increased military
security at a cost far lower
than If we had to carry the
entire burden alone. 1t gives
protection against Communist
internal takeover to free people
who are yet not able to build
solidly without outside help. 1t
provides essential assurances to
the new nations of the world
that they can count on us in
their effort to build q free So
ciety. Only with this assurance
can they continue to maintain
against the pressures that are
brought upon them. :.
The bill before the House has
already been cut $3.50 million
from our original estimate last
January. Fortunately, the bill
now has bipartisan political
support. More than half of the
Republicans on the House For
eign Affairs Committee are in
favor Of the SAL billion author
ization now before the House.
This program is not an abstract
set Of numbers, but a set of
concrete and continued actions
in support Of our national
security.
e. One wonders which con-
crete actions critics would like
to stop. Should we scrap the
Alliance for Progress, which is
our best answer to the threat
OF communism in this hemis-
phere? Should we deny help to
India, the largest free power in
Asia, as she seeks to strengthen
herself against Com m u n is t
China? Do we wish to disman-
tie our Joint defenses in Korea,
Tatwan, Pakistan, Iran, Tur-
key, and Greece, countries
along the very rim Of Commu-
mist power?
Do we want to weaken our
friends In Southeast Asia? This
is no time to slacken our eff
forts. This fight is by no means
over. The struggle is not fin
ished. Therefore, as has been
said on many occasions before,
however tired we may get of
this program. our adversaries
are not tired.

Sees Ultimate
Payments Balance

@. In view of the figures re.
leased yesterday by the Com.
merce De partme ut on the
balance of international pay.
mentS does the administra-
ton have any further measures
it is going to recommend?
A. The second quarter
was particularly difficult. Since
then the indications are better
In addition, as you know, we
have taken two more steps
really three. One is the equali-
cation tax. Two is the interest
rates. And three are the reduc-
ton in military expenditure
and tying our foreign aid ex-
penditures here in the United
States.
@. Do you see an end in
sight when there will be a bal
ance?
A. I do, because I think that
by one means or another We
will bring it into balance.
You can see already the eff
feet Of even the rather limited
steps we have taken-two eff
fectS. One, the effect in Can
ada and Japan of the equali-
cation tax which shows the de-
flationary effect of this kind
of restriction, and therefore
we were reluctant to do it.
Secondly, there was an arti-
Gle in the paper in the Times
on Sunday about the effect on
the Euro-dollar of our interest
rate rise. So everything we do
shakes the West-the none
tary system - so we proceed
with care. We are still in good
shape. A good deal of this out
flow represents assets abroad
@. Will that call for any &C.
ton at the next meeting Of
the I. M. F. Qnternationa,

A. Not that we have planned

entitled to some kind of
special dispensation for the
pain of second-class citizenship
over these many decades and
generations"
He said he does not believe
that is the generally held view
of the Negro community. AS
for himself, he said. II don't
think we can undo the past. ~.
We have to do the best we can
now"
He added that he believes
what most Negroes would like
is Ito see their children we'll
educated so that they could
hold jobs and have their chill
dren accepted and have them
selves accepted as equal mem
bers of the community"

That is quite a lot Of tests.
We, in fact, did more tests,
several more tests than we had
originally planned six months
before. So I don't think that
the charge is valid. Quite obvi-
ously, we didn't test unneces-
sarily. Quite obviously, there
may have been tests that DR..
Teller would like to have run .
But I think we did the major
tests, and I think that they we're
an impressive series. ...
@. The ranking House Repub-
lican expert on atomic energy
says that in spite of all admin
istration denials, he is sure that
there was a side agreement at
Moscow. Is there some way
that you can present any proof
positive?
A. No, I cannot. There is
nothing I can say other than to
say it is not so. No, we can't
prove IL.

Tax and Rights Bills
Need Action Now

@. This promises to be a very
long session of Congress.
There is beginning to be talk
heard among some of the rank
and file that possibly It would
be good idea to put over both
the civil rights bill and the tax
bill into the next session. Dc
you think, sir, it will be possible
for the leadership to keep Con-
greSS in town long enough tc
pass both of these major bills?
A. I don't see why not. What
is the advantage of putting II
over until next year? We have
other problems. We have the
whole new appropriations Sc
rieS. We have an election year.
There are a good many ex-
cuses next year to get out of
town.
1t seems to me this is the
year for us to consider these
pieces of legislation. I think
there should be a vote on both
of them this year, and they
are both very important.
The ciVil-rightS legislation
represents a response to a very
serious national crisis.
The tax bill was recommended
in January. 1t should be
possible for the Congress OF
the United States to dispose
Of this issue this year, Il
months. This is a matter
which affects employment
jobs, our economic prospects
the struggle against a recess
sion. We are talking about a
tax cut beginning in January
1864, and we are talking about
the state of the economy
through the next six months
which I think is predicated in
part upon a possible tax cut
If that proved to be disap-
pointing, and we started all
over again in January, when
would you get it to a vote
then-May or June or July OF
next year? What would hap

Job Quotas by Race
Would Be Mistake

@. Some Negro leaders are
saying that like the Jews per-
secuted by the Nazis, the Negro
is entitled to some kind of spe-
cial dispensation for the pain of
second-class citizenship over
these many decades and gen.
erations. What is your view of
that in general, and what is
your view in particular on the
specific point that they are rec
ommending job quotas by race?
A. -. I don't think that is
the generally held view, at least
as I understand it of the Negro
community, that there is some
compensation due for the lost
years, particularly in the field
of education.
What I think they would like
is to see their children well
educated So that they could
hold jobs and have their chill
dren accepted and have them
selves accepted as equal men,
bers of the community. So ]
don't think we can undo the
past we have to do the best
we can now. That is what we
are trying to do.
I don't think quotas are q
good idea. I think it is a mis-
take to begin to assign quotas
on the basis of religion or race
or color, or nationality.
On the other hand, I do
think that we ought to make
an effort to give a fair chance
to everyone who is qualified.
Not through a quota, but just
lock over our employment rolls,
look over our areas where we
are hiring people and at least
make sure we are giving every
one a fair chance.

should the British leave very

on the British to stay in British
Guiana, or to suspend the

Kennedy Again Denies
Secret Deals on Pact

tee of the National Security
Council heard recommended
tons from various scientific
laboratories about tests that
would be most valuable during
the serier last year.
This Nation would have been
remisS, he said, if it had not
held its atmospheric tests to the
minimum needed, but neverthe-
less, he continued, several more
tests than had originally been
planned actually were conduct
ed in last years series.
Teller's Charge Denied
He said the charge by DR..
Teller was unfounded. And he
added 1t would be very difficult
to carry out DR.. Teller's desires
in the nuclear test field.
Mr.. Kennedy said there is
nothing I can say except that
it isn't So" when asked If he
could prove that no secret side
agreement was signed at Mos
COW when the nuclear test ban
was signed.
The President said there also
was nothing that Secretary of
State Rusk and Undersecretary
Of State Hartman and others
can say except that it isn't so.
With irony. the President
concluded: mo, I don't have
any proof"

ing cost in Europe that we are
going to begin to come into
balance. We are going to bring
it into balance. The question
is we would like to bring it
into balance in a way that does
not shake-as I have said, we
don't want to have a 1928 stu
alton where you take an action
to protect your problem here
and you cause a far greater

OF the TACT that the four safe
guards they suggested, the
Chiefs Of Staff, were all men
toned in my address to Con-
gress which preceded their
meeting. -.
The four safeguards consist
of Cd that we should keep our
laboratories activated and vital.
We are going to do that.
Secondly, we should prepare a
standby so that If the treaty
should be preached, abrogated,
or If we should have what the
treaty language describes as an
imminent threat to our security
we would be prepared to re-
sumo testing. Already, we have
begun to prepare Johnston Is
land for that unhappy eventu-
atty If it should occur. $22 mil
lion has been already allocated.
Sill million has already been
put out in contracts. We are
dredging the harbor. we are
building some piers. There are
two dredges already out
there.
Third, I think they wanted
or suggested a vigorous series
of underground tests. We have
already in the last two years
conducted 81 tests under
ground. That is quite vigorous.
We are going to continue to
carry on as I have said, q
Vigorous series Of tests. And
the fourth area, as I remember,
was that we improved our
methods of detection. And on
that that we have additional
recommendations to make
which will be unanimously in
dorsed. I think, by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. We ap-
preciate the concern Of the
members of Congress, but this
matter is of concern to us also,
and I can assure them we will
do the job.
@. I wonder If you have any
new thoughts on (the August
18th civil rights demonstra-
ton here) and whether you
intend to participate or be in
volved in the activities that
day, beyond comforting with a
group of leaders of the move
ment.
A. No I have been asked
for an appointment and I will
be glad to see the leaders of
the organizations who are par
ticipating on that day.
