Kennedy Trip:
LIBERALIZATION

President Kennedy ended a
Today tour Of four European
countries last Tuesday and
flew back TO Washington. OBJ
servers agreed he had made a
warm, personal impression. On
other results, there was divided
opinion.
Welcome home, Mr.. President"
said the New York Times.
Trips like this" said the Balti-
more Sun, do not alter the course
of nations; but they can influence
the course"
The New York Herald Tribune,
to which Mr.. Kennedy does not
subscribe, was less enthusiastic.
President de Gaulle's shadow "fol-
lowed the President all the way
back to Washington. where Mr..
Kennedy will find 1t staring him
In the face when he sits down
at his White House desk TO re-
sumo his work." the newspaper
editorialized.
Its formula for a cure: Initiate
a meeting with President de
Gaulle to iron out differences.
Sensing the anti-climax of his
final stopover In Italy, where an
interim government called the
Kennedy government" there)
holds tenucus power. Mr.. Kennedy
cut short his tour of Europe last
week after meeting the newly
crowned Pope Paul VI. But even
so, these were the positive results
OF the Today visit:
. A major personal success in
Germany, signaled by the apathetic
"me-too" visits there of Premier
Khrushchev and President de
Gaulle days later.
. A symbolic gesture strength
ening bonds between this nation
and Germany. the frontier state

No Negotiations

On the minus side, the trip re.
sembled the two-sided relations
ship that the President is wres-
ting with at home-a personal
popularity combined with a lack
of progress in getting his pro-
grams adopted.
His multllateral seaborne nu-
clear force idea was preached
during the trip but because the
present German British and Ital-
ian administrations are all SEEM
ingly transitory, he concluded no
new pacts. And in his absence,
the civil rights crisis moved no
closer to a solution.
One British journal wittily spec.
ulated that the real reason for
the Kennedy trip has been to
review how his policy of contain
ment, the containment of De
Gaulle, is working"
On the surface, it looked like a
popularity contest between the
two men for German approval.
The French actually tried to
measure the applause, comparing
the Americans reception with that

Chinese Factor?

The West actually offered two
years ago to ban tests except those
underground without inspection.
1t also has kept open the dis
cusslons OF non-aggression
pledge, although noting that NATO
countries have high sales resist
ance to such compact.
Was Mr.. Khrushchev unwrap-
ping his scheme on the eve of
high-level test-ban talks by Amer
lean and Great Britain in Moscow
as a threat TO China? Would his
non-aggression agreement insist on
recognition of East Germany's
puppet regimen In the latter case,
the whole plan would go out the
window

alternatives were so blank. could
not help being intrigued.
THE President regards this

the biggest thing we can do" said
Prime Minister Macmillan, If we
can do 1t, for the peace and pros
perity Of the world"

ferred with Mr.. Khrushchev last
month, said the Soviet leader

land and the United States are
pushing for a treaty that would
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-07

allow seven annual inspections of
Soviet territory.
Throwing a shadow over all Of
Mr.. Khrushchev'S declarations
was the announcement last Mon
day by the Atomic Energy Com
mission that the Soviets may have
detonated a relatively small, one
kiloton explosion. The test re-
portedly occurred June IL, only
two days after President Kennedy
announced the halt Of any further
United States atmospheric tests,
providing other nations followed
suit. The Aces statement was
prompted by an article the preVi-
Gus day in The Star.
Administration sources said that
since the Acc evidence of Soviet
testing was not conclusive, the
United States would continue to
honor its pledge.
But the episode dramatized
why the West is demanding at
least some inspections of Russia
to distinguish small nuclear ex-
plosions from other physical dis
turbances such as earthquakes or
chemical explosions.
Sooner OF later, observers feel,
China will join the "nuclear club"
with a bomb of her own. 1t may
be that the Soviets feel in some
way that a test ban agreement
with Western powers reached be-
fore that event would help con-
troll China's aggressive impulse to
use the bomb. That thought may
lie behind Mr.. Khrushchev's
warning last Wednesday that war
today is only for "madmen."
1--WE do not want a war" he
said In a barb aimed at the Chi
nese, mot because we are afraid,
but because we have a head and
brains and, therefore, know what
a war means"

Russians of foreigners inspecting
their country, trait that goes
back for centuries of CZarist rule
and now seems an ingrained fea-
ture of Russian character.
The Soviets virtually killed the
Geneva talks which had been car
ried on since 1858 by resumption
of atomic weapons tests on Sep
TENDER 1, 1861.
At that time Moscow officials
contended that tests should no
longer be considered separately,
but rather should be taken up
with an overall treaty on dis
armament. But the West said no
pact could be meaningful or trust
worthy without an inspection and
control system.
Though last October's "eyeball
to eyeball" conformation of
MeSsrs. Kennedy and Khrushchev
in the Cuban missile crisis brought
the world frighteningly close to
thermonuclear war, it had little
noticeable effect in making world
powers anxious to disarm. Nor did
the idea of robot seismic stations
to detect underground nuclear ex-
ploSionS break the impaSse in talks
last fall among the three nuclear
powers.
Last Tuesday, Premier Khru-

Of how to detect nuclear tests

The double-barreled scheme
raised immediate speculation and
hopes in London and Washington.
The White House reaction, after
several high-level conferences,
was warily receptive, showing a
"so-far, so-good" attitude on the
individual ideas, but suspicion on
tying them together. Adlai Steven

HAYES SUGGESTS TAX CHANGES
Continual frOm Saturdayl

sg Hf9N @NA@&@
The ST. Croix Chamber Of
Commerce wishes to make It
clear that we are not engaging
in special pleading for any
particular group or type OF
business, These recommends
tons are made because we
feel that they are for the good
Of the entire community. For
instance there is no contractor
or builder on our executive
committee, yet we oppose the
gross receipts tax, on building
costs for it IS obviously unfair.
We feel that the other injusti-
ces that we have pointed out
are equally unfair to our citi-
zens, and should be obvious
to all, once they have been
brought to your attention.
Up to this point we have
said only that we should con-
tinue to i've somewhere with
in the tax structure which we
already have, and we feel this
is true at least for the present.
We also feel that it is abso-
lutely unnecessary to raise
taxes.
If the present tax laws were
adequately enforced there
would be no need for the addi-
tional gross receipts tax re-
Gently enacted. These taxes
! only mean that the mercnaAlt
who keeps complete books
pays additional taxes. The fell
low who evades will continue
70 evade-his lack of taxes has
been unchanged. We should
be making the laws we have
do the job they were intended
to do before we burden our
selves with additional levies.
Now we come to the great
est injustice Of all. III the fiscal

number Of permanent jobs in
the local government increas-
ed by $50, a nincrease in one
year equal to4that Of the pre-
vious four years combined.
About a twenty-five percent
increase. Can the job Of run
ming the government have in
creased by 25adsin one year ?
Can it be believed that every
one of the Department heads
that has added a new en-
ployee really had a full time
job for him to do? The honest
answers to these questions
are plain-and so is the an
swer to the next. Can the
burden Of these "make-work"
jobs be honestly and justifia-
BY shifted to the community
as a whole ? We think empha-
'tically not. Charity must be
combined with responsibility.
Before more unnecessary jobs
are created it is the duty Of
the Legislature to consider
those who must pay for these
jobs-the other citizens, the
ones who elect you to Office.
Then finally we come to an
area of Improvement that is
directly under the control Of
the Legislature. Items in St.

have to be Christmas; any
evening after November
would give US much the same

Of $275,OOO for the purchase Of
Herman Hill-an amount no
where near enough to buy
that estate. Perhaps it has poll

can be done with this item
Yet because it appears in the

how much more could be
wrung out without any injury
to the community? Each year
the budget has been taken as
an object Of faith; it must be
taken as an object Of arithme-
tic.
In summary: if present taxes
were collected properly; if the
government payroll reflected
more accurately the essential
funtions of government could
operate with the present tax
structure with the modifica-
tons we recommend and each
year find itself with a surplus,
Gentlemen, the st. Croix
Chamber Of Commerce thinks
that any tax raise at this time,
and including the tax raise
enacted last June, is unneces-
sary and even irresponsible.
AT q time when we are trying
to demonstrate maturity in
government and ability to
handle our own affairs we
contradict our ambitions by
attempting tax increases UNI

Bus Goal Set
For Religious
Trade-in Drive

A Christian youth group
composed largely of teenagers
from Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties is nearing the
end of a drive to obtain enough
trade-in stamps to acquire a
new bus for religious activities.
The Christian Youth Crusade,
which serves the suburban area
from headquarters at 3433 Wis.
consin Ave-, NV, Washington,
is 450 books short of the 1900
it needs to qualify for the bus.
With May 10 set as the closing
date, it has launched an inten-
sive drive to obtain the balance
in a door-to-door canvass
throughout the suburbs.
The school-type bus avail
able through the trade-in stamp
program will be used to trans.
port the teenagers to varied &C.
tivities sponsored by the inter.
denomination, non-profit group.

Rights Law

In its haste to repeal the
Anti-Discrimination Public Ac.
commodations Ordinance and
rescind some of the constitu-
tional rights just recently ap-
proved for all people in Mont
gomery County, the County
Council has bungled its plan
to obtain any honest public
opinion of who does or doesn't
want every citizen to have
equal advantages.
The mere fact that a per-
son is born a human being
should entitle him to any op.
portunity afforded human be-
ings. At the same time laws
are essentially necessary and
important, yet it seems totally
unbelievable that the govern
ing body of the county would
wish to abrogate a law which
partially assures the constitu.
tional rights of all humans and
helps maintain the peace, safe
ty and welfare of the COM
munity. What seems even more
incredible is that the Council
should wish to repeal this law
while the citizens are perfectly
happy with the law.
The Councils plan to hold
a hearing to repeal the ordi-
nance allots 80 minutes equal
time to each side of the issue
10 minutes per speaker. In a
matter of such great concern
to the County, the time limita-
ton is completely inadequate.
The whole idea of a public
hearing is to allow all citizens
to be heard. On the other hand,
III minutes per speaker is more
than ample. With proper tim
ing, the 80 minute limitation
could result in a tie between
sides. However unlikely this is,
it seems the Council would
have the public believe that
the two sides of the issue were
approximately balanced when
