DAVID LAWRENCE

There's nothing wrong with
the principle of foreign aid,
but there is much that is
wrong with the method of
applying it.
This is the real basis for
the difference in Congress
over the size of the appropri-
ationS to be made for eco
nomic aid to other countries.
Everybody in the free world
presumably wants to see
Communist imperialism
thwarted. The granting of
gifts or loans of American
billions is supposed to be the
way to win, If not buy"
allies. Maybe it is-but, I'M
fortunately, some Of the gov
ernments benefited don't
stay bought" as they begin
to flirt with the Communist
side, and a form of blackmail
emerges.
This need not be regarded
as a partisan question inside
the United States. The same
difficulties have confronted
the administration in power
here under Presidents Tru-
man and Eisenhower. That's
why a comprehensive review
and revision of American pol
icy is in order. For certainly,
if the right policy were de-
veloped, a majority in Con-
greSs would quickly reflect
the wishes of the American
people and authorize a go
ahead" at VIII q tever cost
seemed to be necessary to
achieve the agreed-upon OBJ
jectives.
There has to be, first of all,
a frank appraisal of what's
been going on. What good,
for instance, is it to give hun
dreds of millions of dollars
to the Alliance for Progress
when so many of the coun-
tries in Latin America insist
on doing business with Fidel
Castro? Why do some coun-
tries-like Mexico, for exam
ple-refuSe to ban travel to
and from Cuba as the United
States does? How can the

ments that still recognize

cial stress on his proposed res
ervation would say that the
effectiveness of the treaty be
deferred until the USSR has
removed all nuclear weapons,
all weapons capable of carrying
nuclear warheads, and all
military technical personnel
from Cuba" and until arrange
ments have been made for in
spection in Cuba to determine
and confirm such removal.
He called also for another
reservation, proposed by former
President Eisenhower, stating
the United States right to be
the sole judge as to when
and where this Nation will use
nuclear weapons. Senator Rus
sell B. Long, Democrat of Lou
isiana, already has said he will
offer such a reservation.
Eisenhower Satisfied
Outside the Senate, former
President Eisenhower now is
reported satisfied the treaty
adequately protects the United
States without the lone specific
reservation" he called for when
he Endorsed it on August 26.
A story in Newsday yesterday
quoted an unidentified former
Eisenhower aide as saying Gen.
Eisenhower had written to
personal friends to this effect.
The newspaper said Eisen-
hover aides refused to make
the letters publis or say to
whom they were written, on
grounds they were personal.
The Eisenhower reservation
would have spelled out in the
treaty that the United States
reserved the right to "be the
sole judge Of the kind and type
of weaponry and equipment it
would employ as well as the
time Of their use" in event of
armed aggression endangering
a vital interest of the Nation.
Other Qualifications or res
ervations called for by Senator
Goldwater would:
Assure against "clandestine
nuclear test aid" to nom
signatory nations.
Assure that nuclear explo-
sions for peaceful purposes
under the United States plow-
share program would be per-
.mitted.

US. DisugreeobIeness Held Only Tool
For Renewing Contact With Opposition
JOSEPH KRAFT

The trouble with South
Wet Nam transcends family
personalities and seemingly
incautious public statements.
At bottom, a policy gamble
undertaken by the admins
tration with the full backing
of the State Department, the
Pentagon, the Central Intel
ligence Agency, the Congress
and the public has failed. A
change in policy emphasis is
needed, and. If the current
flare-up provides a means
Of change, so much the
better.
The essence of the gamble
was to press the war against
the Vietnamese Commu-
nistS to the maximum
through the agency Of the
Diem regime. To that pur-
pose, all doubts about Pres
ident Diem and his family
were put aside. The former
American ambassador in Sal
gon, the unfortunate Mr..
Noting, publicly praised the
Vietnamese president to the
skies. The CHA used the
presidents brother, Mr.. Nhu,
and his police network, as
a prime information contact.
The American military al
lowed Mr.. Nhu to take in
charge the chief United
States effort in South Wet
Nam, the strategic hamlet
program.
Up to a month ago, high
American officials, both in
Washington and Saigon, were
convinced that all was going
well. One general was pre-
dieting victory in six months.
But American correspond
ents on the spot, and at
least some junior officers in
the field, had misgivings all
along.
They pointed out that the

Mansfield Sees Red Split
Only Adding to A-Pact Need

Belgrade on Tuesday for the
Interparliamentary Union,
Senator Mansfield said this
would cause no delay in voting
on the treaty. He said these
Senators will know they might
have to return on "a hours
notice. In any event, the vote
is not expected until the week
after next.
Senator Mansfield said there
is a tendency to regard the
differences between Russia and
Red China as a dispute over
who should represent the high
priesthood of orthodoxy in the
international Com munist
movement"
Calls Differences Old
Actually, the Senator said,
differences between China and
Russia predate communism
and even the birth of Karl
Marx.
Senator Aiken, Republican
of Vermont, predicted earlier
today that the Senate will reject
Senator Goldwater's proposed
Cuban reservation" to tn e
limited nuclear test ban treaty.
The Arizonan's demand that
the effectiveness of the pact
be postponed until Russia re-
moves all its military forces
from Cuba is an attempt to
kill the treaty, Senator Aiken
said.
A supporter of the ban on
all but underground tests, SEN
ator Aiken said an overwhel-
ing majority will vote for
ratification and less than one
third of the Senate'S 80 Re-
publican Senators will support
the proposal of Senator Gold
water, a potential Republican
presidential nominee.
In announcing to the Senate
yesterday he intends to propose
such a reservation Senator
Goldwater may have tossed the
treaty into the Republican
presidential campaign.
Sees Cuba as Vital Concern
The greatest concern of the
American people, Senator Gold
water said, is the existence OF
"a Soviet military base 80 miles
from our shore, a base illegally
occupied and brutality held"
This proposed test ban
treaty cannot be a first ster
toward peace If 1t must stumble
over Soviet missiles and troops
in Cuba" he said.
There were immediate critical
responses from Senate Leader
Mansfield, his chief deputy
Senator Humphrey Of Mime
sofa, and Undersecretary OF
State w. Averell Hartman, who
helped negotiate the treaty.

clared, would be "a mischievous

treaty and result in a stagger-
ing setback for the United

And, Mr.. Hartman told the

proposal doesn't make any
sense" Mr.. Hartman said.

Policeman
Is Suspended
In Beating

A sergeant with 10 years
service on the Fairfax County
police force has been suspended
for Is days after being found
guilty by a trial board of IRE
peatedly slapping" a 17-year-
old youth who sat handcuffed
in the back of a police cruiser
last week.
Chief William L. Durrer said
the trial board, after hearing
witnesses, had found Sergt.
Julius G. Hollowell, 81, guilty
Of conduct unbecoming an
officer"
Maj. Durrer said the board
recommended is days suspen-
sion and he had carried out the
suggestion.
Sergt. Hollowell was sus-
pended from the force last
Wednesday, the day after the
incident took place near Gen.
treville. Maj. Durrer said the
suspension will date from last
Wednesday, costing the SER
geant approximately $3.50 in
pay.
Complaints against Sergt.
Hollowell were lodged by John
M. Ramey, justice of the
peace for Centreville, and from
Thomas M. Hatcher, a Centre
vile resident.
They said they saw the po-
liceman open the door of a
police cruiser parked behind
a Centreville service station
and strike the handcuffed Ne
gro youth six or eight" times
with his open hand with some
force"
The youth had been stopped
for speeding, but had fled into
woods between Route 29-2ll
and Route %, where he led
police on an hour-long chase

appears, he will be the can
didate," Mayor McKeldin said.
However, 1 shall say before
proceeding further that 1 made
no political commitments to

McKeldin to Wait
Mayor McKeldin said he
would wait until he has had
time to give serious considera-
ton to every contender's view
before indorsing a candidate
But he praised Gov. Rookie
feller's views on nearly all is
sues and said he agrees with
most of them.
AS for Gov. Rockfeller's di-
vorce and remarriage, Mayor
McKeldin said: THE divorce
has nothing to do with his
ability to run the country.
think it would be a crime if
a man would be denied serving
the people because of his mari
tai status"
With Mayor McKeldin, as
Gov. Rockefeller's luncheon
guests, were such Maryland Re-
publican StalwartS as Edward
T. Miller, the States Repub-
lican national committeeman;
Walter E. Black, jr., chairman
of the Baltimore City Repub-
lican Committee; Senator Ed
ward T. Hall, minority leader
in the State Senate; Delegate
j. Glenn Beall, jr., minority
leader in the Maryland House;
Spiro T. Agnew, chief execu-
tive of Baltimore County;
Frank Small, jr., the recent Re-
publican candidate for Mary
land Governor, and Newton
Steers, possible 1864 Maryland
senatorial nominee.
Emerging from the luncheon,
Senator Hall had this to say:
ut was very impressive. He
was sincere and right down to
earth. He has a lot of per-
sonality, and I think he made
some converts"
And Edward C. Bukehart, a
congressional candidate in
1856, said: He was asked
many questions, but they were
all friendly. His answers were
fortnight, and all members OF
our group seemed pleased with
what he had to say"

Christmas
Easter Win
AS Holidays

Montgomery County School
Board members split sharply
yesterday on whether the words
&C hriStmas" and Easter
should be used as holiday desig-
nations in the l964-5 school
calendar.
The traditional holiday titles
won out after one tie vote
which reflected the conserva-
tive-liberal split on the seven
member board.
Board Member Everett Wood
ward, remarking that There is
already too much effort being
made to take religion out of
the schools under various pre-
texts" brought up the ques-
ton. The 1964-5 school calen-
dar had been submitted fol-
routine approval, but Mr.. Wood
ward protested.
In the current ,1963-4 schoo
calendar, such holidays al
Christmas, Good Friday anC
Easter Monday are listed by
name. The proposed Q964-5)
calendar used the following
language: December 24-31-
Holiday CWinter) and April
12-19-Holiday (Spring).
Opposing Mr.. WOODWARD
were three board members, Mrs
Lucille Maurer, Mrs. Lucy Kicker
and Clifford T. Beck. The lat
ter indicated that Mr.. Wood
ward was inviting trouble by
bringing up a sensitive issue.
The three minority members
voted against Mr.. Woodward,
William I. Saunders and Will
liam E. Coyle. Board President
Charles w. Bell was absent.
Later, the issue was put to a
new vote, after Mr.. Bell had
arrived and Mr.. Beck had left.
Christmas" and Easter" were
restored to the upcoming cal
endar by a Atop vote.
Almost overlooked in the
crisis was an unprecedented
school opening date - before
Labor Day next fall.
School Supt. c. Taylor
Whittier said Labor Day is
September 7 next year, a late
date that disruptS a school
schedule requiring 1876 days of
classes. He recommended that
school open September 2. The
board agreed.

ALL WAS QUIET at the
Zoo. The lions dozed in the
sun, dreaming of tasty ele-
plants, and tn bears forced
all thought from their
minds.
A Whit of smoke floated
up from the restaurant and
the Rambler made his way
down the hill and into alb
solute confusion.

kitchen to photograph the
preparation Of the elephant.
The chef seemed uncon-
cerned. Gordon Leech, host,
the man who on normal days
runs the cafeteria and the
peanut concession, hustled
around hot ovens in a bright
red vest and explained the
elephant was shot in Rho
desia and then quick frozen.
Choice cuts had been flown
into Washington.
In another section of the
restaurant, mattresses were
being briefed on the wine
list by an expert who en-
phasized that this year the
Anteaters would be served
either a red or white Beau
jolais Superieur, 1861, from
France.
Outside, the big cars began
showing up at the Zoo. They
were not filled with children
and balloons but with rather
serious men and WON N
making their annual pill
grimage to the Zoo. Anteat-
ers come from all walks OF
life.
The Rambler, quite hum
CRY now, was seated and
plunged into the tidbit OF
wild game, Arctic Circle
Reindeer Tongue. A touch OF
powerful mustard helped a
great deal; the wine helped
more and the soup which
followed, Elephant Ear, clear
and mild with only a hint OF
the bush country about it,
set up the Rambler for the
big slab of Elephant.

bring Al Maryland Republicans
here for a two-hour private
lunch in the executive offices
at Rockefeller Cneter.
Heading the group was Balti-
more Mayor Theodore r. Nc

The day by no means marked
a complete swing by Maryland
Republicans into Gov. Rookie
feller's camp, however. Notice
ably absent from the steak
luncheon was David Scull
Maryland's Republican State
chairman, who sent word he
felt he should not identify him
self with any candidate.
The Governor, nevertheless,
obviously was pleased with his
