Continued from Page II
In certain European areas where
the Communists are active.
Untimeliness OF Trip
But aside from the apparent
mtimeliness" of a European tour
so far as international relations
are concerned, politicians are more
worried about reactions at home.
They point out that the Presi-
dent has been meeting the chal-
lenge of the civil rights revOlu-
ton with admirable courage,
but that q run out" at this
time would destroy the political
advantage of all that he has
done to date.
Washington advisors have in
formed him that the leaders of
CORE, the NAACP and the SCLC
are looking hopefully to the White
House to assume leadership in the
present struggle and that his leav-
ing the country before the crisis
Is resolved could easily lead to a
renewal of Birmingham-type dem
onstrations.
They also point out that the
three leading civil rights organiZa-
tons will WELD greater influence
than ever before among Negro
voters in the forthcoming presi-
Dental contest.
There Is by no means unanim-
ity among Presidential advisors
on the desirsbility Of the Pres
ident's proposed European trip.
Some definitely advocate his 60
ing.
This decision does not mean that
the Presidential European swing
is considered more important than
the civil rights issue, only that he
has made official commitments to
confer with Italian President An
tonic Segni and Chancellor Aden-
auer.
Cancellation Might Embarrass
Allies
If he had backed out now, it
would be embarrassing politically
to the Italian and German leaders
unless President Kennedy had a
solid reason for calling off the
trip.
The civil rights crisis does not
honestly constitute such a rea-
son In their view. Kennedy
knows this, the state department
knows 1t, and Bonn and Rome
know Il.
There is reason to believe that
some consideration was given,
however, to the proposals that the
President use the civil rights con-
troversy as an excuse for not go
ing abroad at this time. But it
was agreed it would constitute a
lame excuse, not q valid one.
In addition it was decided such
a course Of action would constitute
an advance commitment by Ken
nedy to carry his civil rights case
to the people in a dramatic way.
That is a decision which Is con-
sidered to require a lot Of soul
searching. Kennedy has yet to
seize the leadership role on any
issue and try to arouse popular
pressure on Congress.
Wheeling and Dealing Approach
At this time, therefore, the Ken
nedy operatives are in a quandary.
Their preference is to continue the
wheeling and dealing method with
a reluctant Congress. They are in
clined to think that this approach
Of manipulation and persuasion
might produce civil rights action
by Congress, where If Kennedy
carried his case to the people he
would precipitate a more intense
House and Senate battle than now
looms. As a result, there could be
no legislation.
For these reasons, there Is the
delay before administration tactics
and strategy are decided on in the
