President Kennedy has re-
stated his fears that French
President de Gaulle's policy
could result in the disaster
of separating Western Europe
from the United States and has
rededicated himself to prevent
ing the separation.
In a press conference yester-
day the President observed the
French leader sis not an ad-
mirer Of NATO."
The pact Of Nassau in which
Mr.. Kennedy and British Prime
Minister Macmillan agreed on
the formation Of q multi ma
tional nuclear deterrent Under
NATO was designed to
strengthen the Atlantic pact,
the President observed, when
asked about Gen. de Gaule's
objections to the Anglo-Ameri-
can agreement.
Those who object to the
Nassau pact lin a sense, really
object to NATO, Mr.. Kennedy
declared.
u. s. Purpose
United States support of the
multi lateral force was an
effort to deal with this prob
lem Of providing the Euro
peans, who lacked a nuclear
capacity, a greater voice In the
MANAGEMENT Of weapons. and
in the political directions of
the weapons, and in its con-
troll. the President said.
One plan under study re-
portedly provides for forces of
several nations be formed into
crews which would man SUBJ
marines carrying nuclear mis-
siles. aL
Mr.. Kennedy indicated his
awareness Of the difficult prob
lem Of control of nuclear war
heads without pointing to any
particular solution. Congress
would have to change laws If
the United States were to share
control of nuclear warheadS
with its NATO allies.

which occurred during the 1856
presidential campaign has left
him with a jaundiced view Of
politicians.
During the campaign. DR.
Peale was identified with Q

the incident. He blamed mos
Of his problems on Senator
Jackson, Democrat Of Wash.
ington, then the Democratic
National chairman.
This fellow jackson decided
he was going to make the most
of it." DR.. Peale said, adding
that the Senator's charges that
he CDR. Peale) was opposing
John F. Kennedy on religious
grounds were dishonest and
false"
IF in the future I get within
gunshot Of a politician, it1l b
because ! don't know It," the
minister of Marble Collegiate
Church in New York said.
He continued: Taking them
(politicians) by and large as
a breed, they leave me cold
You wonder how the country
survives with these men.
THE fact that God watches
over us saves us from most of
these fellows. ! used to think
a Governor or q Senator was
a great man, but I long since
got over it. He's just cleverer
than the next guy, that's ALL"

will require good deal Of
negotiation and imagination
and effort by both of us. When
we have come to q conclusion,
or during a conclusion. we win

The Communist menace can
be expected to continue In
definitely. and the Western
powers must remain united and
strong to permit "the' balance
Of power to be maintained with

Tariffs Issue ~
Mr.. Kennedy said he does not
plan to ask Congress for ad-
ditional authority to cut tariffs
beyond so per cent Of their
present levels, but he wodId
support any moves in Congress
TO give him the authority. ~
Failure Of Great Britain to
join the Common Market has
rendered almost totally IN
operative a provision Of last
years Trade Expansion Act
authorizing the President to
eliminate tariffs on items where
more than 80 per cent Of the
world market is held by the
United States and the Common

Landslide In 1858
Anything can happen in Ca

1858 election, which Prime Min,
lister John Dieffenbaker calleC
nine months after his Conserva.
tive Party squeaked into office
with only 112 Of the 265 seat
in the House of Commons.
The Conservatives won thu
1858 election by the creates
sweep in Canadian history. TIL,
Liberals were crippled, and thu
splinter parties were virtually
wiped out. There was no warn.
ing Of such a landslide.
After the election last June
the conservatives were a mi
nority government again.
Could the April 8 election
turn out to be a repeat Of 1885,
Possibly. But a completely diff.
ferent set Of circumstance
exists.
l.. More Experience
In 1858 Mr.. Diefenbaker ap.
pealed for a chance to put for
ward a program after 20 year,
of Liberal rule. The Liberals
had a new party leader, Nobe
Prize winner Lester B. Pearson
and they were not ready. Mr.
Pearson was a well-known dip.

Lottery Expert
Voices Doubt on
New Hampshire

NORMAN, OKLA. May 4
(AP)-One Of the Nations
leading authorities on lotteries
says he seriously doubts that
a recently approved State lot
terry in New Hampshire can
work successfully.
DR.. John Ezell, professor Of
history at the University Of
Oklahoma and author Of a
book on lotteries, said despite
almost every type Of control
man could devise, history dat
ing back to the 18th century
shows "there are just too many
opportunities for fraud"
DR.. Ezell conceded in an in
terview that ut is a terrific
way to make money, short OF
taxation" and pointed out
that already more than a half
dozen States have legalized
lotteries. In fact. Dartmouth
College was founded with rev.
enue from a lottery.
"The New Hampshire thing
has been played up a little
more than is justified" he said
"It is only unique because It is
a legalized sweepstakes lot
terry :.
"Bingo is a lottery and is
legalized in several States"
"If history teaches us any
thing about lotteries, however
it is that they cost more than
they bring in," he said. "over
the years, we have attempted
every type Of control from
State commissions to putting
church deacons in charge"
