ROME.-So long as United
States relations with West
ern Europe were a one-way
street-billions in cash and
substance finding their way
from America to Europe
there was only occasional
minor trouble with the
Grand Alliance"
But as soon as we started
constructing another lane for
political and economic traf-
fic on a two-way boulevard
we hit snags. Not that there
has been any hesitation by
our European friends to give
us support when needed. For
instance, when it appeared
that the Cuban situation
might lead to real trouble
with the Soviet Union, Gen.
de Gaulle was the first Euro
pean head of state to inform
President Kennedy that he
could count on Frances full
cooperation. He was soon
followed by Prime Ministers
Macmillan and Fanfani and
Chancellor Adenauer.
Two factors seem to have
contributed to the present
crisis which will be of long
duration: Chairman Khru-
shchev's change of attitude
and our own inmixture in
what Gen de Gaulle consid-
cred a purely European mat
ter.
Soon after that the Cuban
crisis-which incidentally Big
Charles regards now as a
retreat" because Fidel Cas-
tro's prestige has been in
creased-the Kremlin dicta-
tor gave the world the i'm
preston that he had become
the benevolent "Unkle X" and
a "peacemonger."
Gone were his rantings and
saber ratings. He appeared
deeply concerned with only
the threat to the world from
the irresponsible men in
Peking." He stated not only
publicly but also in private
communications to Presidents
Kennedy and De Gaulle that
it has become his lifelong
ambition to see a peaceful
settlement Of the German
question and an end to the
costly arms race.
Washington seems i'm
pressed by Mr.. Khrushchev's
words. To Gen. de Gaulle-

Equal opportunity" now

gro Congressman who is
chairman Of the House Com
mittee on Education and La
Dor is apparently being given
favors that white citizens
generally do not get.
Senator John j. williams,
Republican of Delaware. has
Just made o comprehensive
report on the situation which
was published In the Congress
sional Record. He charges
that agencies Of the Govern
ment are "shoveling out the
taxpayers dollars" to Adam
Clayton Powell, chairman Of
the all-important House Com
mittee on Education and La
Dor, while Mr.. Powell himself
Is delinquent" in his Federal
income taxes for the years
1949 through 1865. The Della
ware Senator made public q
letter he received from the
Commissioner Of the Internal
Revenue Service listing a to-
tai Of $4,000 as a fraud PEN
atty" imposed on Mr.. Powell.
Senator Williams added:
while the Treasury De-
partment accepted a compro-
mise for the settling Of these
taxes, I find no evidence
where the department is
really trying to collect the
money"
Senator williams pointed
out in his speech other favors
or preferential opportunities
allegedly given Representa-
tive Powell, and said:
Notwithstanding this tax
delinquency, three agencies OF
the Government were vying
with each other as to which
could curry the most favor
with Mr.. Powell by opening
the doors Of the Federal
Treasury.
THE State Department,
with no strings attached,
freely financed Mr.. Powell's
tour of the nightclubs in
Europe.
The Departmen OF
Health, Education and We'll

Congress for the control Of
juvenile delinquency. and
made an outright grant Of
$250,000 to q foundation
which Mr.. Powell and his ad-
ministration assistant. Mr..
Wingate, had organized just
eight days before the receipt
of the gift.
"The officials Of this agen-
cy we're not quite clear as to
whether they thought Mr..
Powell would spend this
money In studying the juve-
nile delinquency problem or
whether he would use 1t to
organize a domestic Peace
Corps in Harlem. There is
one point on which they did
agree-that the money would
be spent at Mr.. Powell's dis
cretion, and apparently with
out any exercise of control by
the Federal Government.
"The Housing and Home

proved three loans totaling

chased for approximately

Third in a series)

The United States will not
devalue the dollar in the fore
Seeable future.
We are making major moves
and we will make more to re-
duce the outflow of dollars and
gold from this country-but we
will not try to solve the prob
lem of our diminishing gold
reserve by raising the price at
which we officially sell gold to
qualified foreign owners of
dollars, thus reducing the gold
equivalent of the United States
dollar and "devaluing" it in
terms of gold and other cur
riencies. This solution" is re-
jected as unthinkable at this
stage by every responsible
policymaker in the U. S. and
the Western world.
Nevertheless, because worry
about devaluation is mounting
throughout the United States,
this series is designed to ex-
plain what the problem is. AS
already reported, if we raised
the price of gold from $35 to
$40 an ounce, this would cut
the gold equivalent Of the dol
lar from 1/35 to ITO of an
ounce. This would reduce the
cost of our exports, increase
the cost of imports-theoretic-
ally stimulate our exports, re-
duce our imports. 1t also would
raise the value of the gold
reserve we have left from $15.6
billion to $31.2 billion and give
us that much more precious
metal with which to meet our
obligations.
Why DevaluatiOn-
@. Why do other countries
devalue their currencies?
A. They devalue because
they are importing much more
than they are exporting and
therefore running deficits in
their trade accounts. BY de-
valuing in terms of other cur
rencies they make the goods
they export less expensive in
price and the goods they i'm
port more expensive in price
and this helps them get their
import-export accounts back
into balance. The "fundamen-
tai disequilibrium" in trade was
behind the Western worlds
devaluations in 1949 and the
French devaluations of the
1950S.
But we in the United States
are running a huge surplus in
