The Kissinger Phenomenon

FEW MEN HAVE GAINED SUCH PROMINENCE IN SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME; HAS STRONG BIPARTISAN APPEAL

By George Gallup

Copyright 1973, Field Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved.
Republication in whole or part strictly prohibited, except with the
written consent of the copyright holders.

PRINCETON, N.J., April 7---From a relatively obscure
beginning as a foreign policy expert in the first Nixon administration,
Henry Kissinger has become so familiar to the American public that his
name is today a household word.

Eight out of every ten Americans (78 per cent) are
currently able to correctly identify President Nixon's peripatetic
adviser---a recognition score unparalleled in polling annals except
for Presidents, presidential candidates, or major sports and
entertainment personalities.

By way of comparison, only three years after Kissinger's
current boss, Richard Nixon, lost his first bid for the presidency,
84 per cent of the public was able to correctly identify him. And,
in a survey taken six months before his nomination last year, Sen.
George McGovern was known to 77 per cent of the public.

ALSO FAVORABLY REGARDED BY PUBLIC

Many people in public life attract many critics as well
as admirers as they become increasingly well-known. But Kissinger has
thus far largely escaped this fate.

Not only is Kissinger well-known to the public---
justifying columnist Russell Baker's description of Kissinger as
"Public Celebrity Number One"---but he is also favorably regarded.
And virtually all major groups in the population are favorably
disposed toward him.

The latest survey shows that favorable opinions of
Kissinger outweigh unfavorable opinions by the ratio of 9-to-1. And
despite the fact that he is a key figure in the Nixon administration,
Democrats give him a 6-to-1 favorable vote.

The Gallup Poll -- Release SUNDAY, April 8, 1973

Interestingly, even among persons in the survey who say they disapprove of the way Nixon is handling his job as President, favorable opinions of Kissinger outweigh unfavorable opinions by more than a 4-to-1 ratio.

FOURTH ON 1972 'MOST ADMIRED MAN' LIST

Further evidence of Kissinger's popularity is found in the fact that he placed fourth on the 1972 "Most Admired Man" list, behind President Nixon, Billy Graham and Harry Truman. Rarely does a person appear this high on the list who is not a President, presidential candidate, world leader or religious figure.

Kissinger's high name recognition and popularity derive from his success in laying the groundwork for President Nixon's historic visits to China and Russia, and for his role in the negotiations that led to the ceasefire in Vietnam.

As a matter of fact, many Americans would like to see the "Kissinger diplomacy" extended to Cuba. A recent Gallup survey shows, a large majority of Americans saying they would favor President Nixon sending his foreign policy adviser to Cuba to try to improve our relations with that country.

Although Kissinger, a naturalized citizen, is not eligible to run for President, his high name-awareness score and wide popularity represent invaluable political assets should he ever decide to run for Congress.

To obtain the results reported today, this question was asked first in the survey:

"Can you tell me who Henry Kissinger is or what he does?"

CORRECT ANSWER ..... 78%

All those who gave a correct answer were then asked the following question:

"In general, would you say you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Henry Kissinger?"

The following table shows the results for the nation and by groups:

FACTS ABOUT KISSINGER

Henry Kissinger was born on May 27, 1923, in Fuerth, Germany. He came to the United States in 1938 and was naturalized in 1943. He earned A.B., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at Harvard University. He married in 1949, divorced in 1964 and has two children. He served on the Harvard faculty from 1957 to 1969.

Already an expert in international affairs, Kissinger was the author of several books on nuclear arms and foreign policy when Nixon picked him from the Harvard faculty four years ago to be his No. 1 foreign policy adviser.

NON-FOOD COSTS HAVE RISEN
FASTER THAN FOOD COSTS

By George Gallup

PRINCETON, N.J., April 00---One point likely to be overlooked in the current furor over food prices is the fact that non-food costs today comprise a larger share of the median amount the public says is needed to make ends meet than was true 25 years ago.

In 1947, food costs represented one-half of the median amount the public said was the minimum needed to make ends meet. At that time a Gallup survey revealed the public felt a family of four required $43 to get along, $21 of which they said was spent for food.

The latest survey shows that food costs represent a far smaller proportion---one-fourth---of total costs. It should be kept in mind, though, that this is due to some extent to the larger number of "needs" than was the case in 1947---i.e., more vacations, two cars, more electrical appliances, etc.

As the Gallup Poll reported March 2, the public's median estimate of what a family of four needs per week to make ends meet is a record high of $149 today. The same survey showed that the median food expenditure record is $37 per week.

Both sets of figures reported are for non-farm families.

bers of the establishment hooted and guffawed at the speeches, jokes, and toasts traded by Bartlett, Symington and the honorees.

It was only at the end, after drawing a steady stream of laughter with a detailed parody of a CIA-Joint Chiefs of Staff-State Department report on the Indo-China situation, that Kissinger paused for a few serious words.

"I only hope they realized which part of my speech was funny and which part of my speech was serious," he said.

In his introduction of Kissinger, Symington said he hoped that the President's foreign affairs adviser would not be disappointed by a recent poll which revealed that recognition of his name was higher among men than among women. That is because, Symington pointed out, "Very few women ever get on a last name basis with Henry."

"It may well be," Symington quipped, "that the post-Napoleonic period is a time whose idea has come. If so, it is brought in the well-stuffed brief case of a most brilliant and charming ambassador of that point of view."

Of Alice Longworth, Symington said, "She has tu-

tored the camp followers of 10 presidents in the ruminations of civility, as well as the healing art of humor. She has graced a century with her unique charm and strength of spirit."

In response to several friendly digs by Pete Peterson about Kissinger's ego, Kissinger retorted that "anyone in my position recognizes the essential necessity for humility. Every evening I pray for guidance and then I ask God what I can do for Him."

Kissinger then proceeded wryly to point out how popular he was by describing several "fan" letters he had received. One of them read, "Dear Dr. Kissinger, my teacher says you are a remarkable man and I should write you. Do you have a dog? If so, please send me his picture."

Another letter read, "Dear Dr. Kissinger, I understand you are thinking of returning to Harvard. Don't. School is a drag."

After the invocation, which was given by Episcopal Bishop Paul Moore of New York, Jimmy Symington, on the guitar, played the Federal City Club's song ... "This club is your club, this club is my club, this club was made for you and me ..." as members and guests tapped their feet in accompaniment.

tion patterns may already have occurred without our knowing it.

Zikmund analyzed the data for 28 of the largest metropolitan areas and found that in the 1960s, their suburban growth resulted primarily from people moving in from outside, rather than from people moving out from their own center cities.

Comparing the census figures for 1950 and 1970, he found that 25 of the 28 areas showed a decrease in the percentage of suburbanites coming out from the center city. Only one of the 28 metropolitan areas—that surrounding Providence, R.I., showed a higher percentage of new suburbanites coming from the center city than from outside.

In part, one suspects, this shift results from the suburb's resistance to the out-migration of blacks, who comprise an ever-larger percentage of those remaining behind in the central cities.

But it may also mean that we have reached a real turning point in the postwar pattern of city-fed suburban growth. This may be the very period when conscious and wise government policy designed to re-shape the structure of metropolitan growth and metropolitan government could be most timely and significant.

And besides doing anything drastic must not be so urgent anyway when Mr. Nixon himself said in his special address on the environment that "day by day, our air is getting cleaner." America, he said, "is well on the way to winning the war against environmental degradation."

Now if you were the administrator of the EPA, and Detroit told you it could do no better than the Model-T approach to pollution control, and your President said things were just rosy and getting rosier, what would you have decided?

# Kissinger on the U.S. Today:
## 'It's Time to End Our Civil War'

BY HENRY A. KISSINGER

Y=P.E.

For years, one of the shibboleths of our political debate has been that with the end of the war in Vietnam we could restore our priorities and recover our unity. It is true that, during the war, debate dissolved increasingly into a sterile chant of competing liturgies. But the end of the war has produced a strange lassitude and uncertainty.

Combatants have been reluctant to leave the trenches. The habits of confrontation have proved hard to overcome. We have clung to our divisions so stubbornly that we seem anchorless without them. And we have grown more conscious of what we seek to prevent than of what we should strive to achieve.

Some day—I suspect sooner than we think—the tactical debates will be forgotten or seem irrelevant. But some of the deeper scars linger. We have been shaken by the realization of our fallibility. It has been painful to grasp that we are no longer pristine—if we ever were. Later than any nation, we have come to the recognition of our limits.

In coming to a recognition of our limits, we have achieved one of the definitions of maturity. But the danger is that we will learn that lesson too well—that, instead of a mature recognition that we cannot do everything, we will fall into the dangerous and destructive illusion that we cannot do anything.

Nothing is more urgent than a serious, dare I say compassionate, debate as to where we are going at home and abroad. Technicians can-

not master revolutions; every great achievement was an idea before it became a reality. Cathedrals cannot be built by those who are paralyzed by doubt or consumed by cynicism. If a society loses the capacity for great conception, it can be administered but not governed.

I first saw government at a high level in the early 1960s—at a time which is now occasionally debunked as overly brash, excessively optimistic, even somewhat arrogant. Some of these criticisms are justified. But a spirit prevailed then which was quintessentially American: that problems are a challenge, not an ali bi; that men are measured not only by their success but also by their striving; that it is better to aim grandly than to wallow in mediocre comfort. Above all, government and opponents thought of themselves in a common enterprise—not in a permanent, irreconcilable contest.

The world needs our idealism, our faith and our purpose. In this respect the spirit of the early 1960s was more nearly right and some of the present attitudes are dangerous. In the 1920s we were isolationists because we thought we were too good for this world. We are now in danger of withdrawing from the world because we believe we are not good enough for it. The result is the same, and the disastrous consequences would be similar.

So it is time to end our civil war.

To be sure, we should leaven our optimism with a sense of tragedy and temper our idealism with humility and realism. But only as we regain a sense of direction can we heal our nation's spirit and recover our unity—the unity which is the prerequisite for mastering the future and overcoming the wounds and divisions of the recent past.

THE HOUSTON POST

SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 1975

By REASONS and PATERICK

Champion
of destitute
children

Catherine Ferguson left a tender compassion for destitute children. Out of this New York City's first Sunday school was born.

Katy Ferguson's School for the Poor opened in 1933 in her home on Warren Street. Later Dr. John M. Mason, a minister, let her use the basement of his Murray Street Church. This was the beginning of the Murray Street Sabbath School which Katy conducted for more than 40 years.

Katy's concern for the downtrodden sprang from her own experiences as a child and form the void left by the death of her own two children.

She was born a slave aboard a schooner en route from Virginia to New York. When she was eight, her mother was sold. She never saw her again.

Katy's mistress was kind. She permitted the child some freedom and allowed her to attend church services.

A sympathetic friend bought her freedom for $200. Katy was 16.

Two years later Katy married. She bore two children. Both of them died young. From that time on, the kindly woman "put forth pious effort for the good of bereaved and desolate little ones," early chroniclers wrote.

Katy attended church services regularly throughout her life. She gathered the neglected children of her neighborhood in her home on Sunday for religious instruction. Out of this practice her school was founded.

Katy collected 64 children from the poor-house land from destitute parents. She either raised them or placed them in good homes.

She carried little for the color of their skin. Twenty of her initial brood were white.

Katy never learned to read or write. But when her school was moved to the Murray Street Church, assistants given her by Dr. Mason provided secular as well as religious instruction.

Katy's work thus contributed to the development of free secular education for the poor. She is noted among America's pioneer educators.

Katy died in 1854. In recognition of her contributions, a home for unwed mothers was named in her honor. The Katy Ferguson Home was founded in New York in 1858.

River
dumping
faulted

The city comptroller's Har-
bor Pollution Committee yes-
terday urged the United States
Army Corps of Engineers to
reject a state plan to dump
dredged sludge at the mouth of
the Back River, near Hart and
Miller islands.

Accusing the state of "short-
sightedness" and "rubber-
stamping," the citizen's advi-
sory group asked the govern-
ment to explore alternative
sites near industrial rather
than residential areas. The
group suggested a site in the
Marley Neck area, south of
Hawkins Point.

The proposed sludge dump
has been controversial since
the state announced plans
more than a year ago to build
a 4-mile artificial island with
sludge dredged from the Balti-
more Harbor.

The proposed site, about a
mile offshore from Baltimore
county's Rocky Point Park,
was immediately contested by
nearby property owners and
environmentalists.

At a series of stormy hear-
ings, the opponents said that

for Clyde L. Clarke, a teacher
and social worker in Maryland
for nearly 25 years, will be
offered at 10 A.M. today at St.
Martin's Church, Fulton ave-

Mr. Clarke, who was 61 and
lived at 2112 Penrose avenue,
died Sunday at Mercy Hospital
after a long illness.

Since 1958 he had been a
social worker with the city
school system, and since 1967
he also had been field director
for the Big Brothers of Balti-
more.

Mr. Clarke first came to
Maryland in 1946 as a teacher
at Boy's Village, in Chelten-
ham.

In 1952 he came to Baltimore
and worked as a management
aide for the City Housing Au-
thority, winning an Alumni
Award from the Howard Uni-
versity School of Social Work
for his work. He had just ob-
tained a master's degree from
the school.

In 1957 he became a teacher
of commercial subjects at
Douglass High School and a
year later became a school
social worker.

Nixon's truth will probably be widely accepted. But those who have he. The country has only one President. But those who have followed this affair closely will want further evidence of the President's change of heart. That evidence can only come by following the Petersen investigation all the way through the White House palace guard.

X-P.R. White House Hucksters

WASHINGTON

THE HUCKSTERS AT THE White House have been caught up by their own excesses again, excesses that are damaging the spirit of the nation. The new possibility that Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, chief presidential adviser on national security, may be sent back to Paris for new negotiations on the fighting in Indochina reveals once more the Madison Avenue syndrome that infects the Nixon Administration, contributing to a new kind of credibility gap.

Kissinger

The warfare that continues in Southeast Asia is the latest in a series of instances where the over-statement, misstatement and pie-in-the-sky promises so characteristic of the Nixon Administration have been given the lie by events.

President Richard M. Nixon told the nation repeatedly that he would withdraw from the war in Vietnam only on terms that would bring peace with honor. Last Jan. 23 when he announced the signing of a ceasefire agreement with North Vietnam and the Viet Cong, he said he had achieved just that — "an agreement to end the war and bring peace with honor in Vietnam and in Southeast Asia."

BUT THE WAR HAS NOT ENDED. Fighting has continued without interruption in Cambodia. Large-scale truce violations have occurred in Vietnam. Now the shaky truce in Laos has broken down. Despite the withdrawal of American ground forces, the United States still is deeply involved American fighters and B-52 bombers have been bombing steadily in Cambodia. On Monday they went into action in Laos after a hiatus since Feb. 23.

The reality of what Mr. Nixon achieved in Southeast Asia is that he pulled out U.S. ground troops and won the return of American prisoners of war. An important achievement, it is nonetheless far short of the grandiose accomplishment portrayed by the President. It is even further from his even grander and frequent promise that his policy in Southeast Asia would produce "a generation of peace."

The administration has applied its overblown hyperbole lavishly in the monetary crises that have led to two recent devaluations of the dollar. When the Smithsonian agreement was reached on Dec. 18, 1971, realigning parities of the world's major currencies (including a 12 per cent devaluation of the dollar), Mr. Nixon hailed the pact with incredible self-pride as "the most significant monetary agreement in the history of the world." Within 14 months the agreement was in a shambles.

THE PRESIDENT SAID IN HIS annual economic report last Jan. 31, that his policies would produce prosperity in a peacetime economy "not achieved by a war-fed, inflationary boom." Try ringing that one up on the cash register at the supermarket.

Mr. Nixon had been quite successful in stemming inflation starting with a 90-day wage and price freeze on Aug. 15, 1971, followed by Phase II controlling increases in salaries and prices. But with the largely voluntary Phase III starting last Jan. 11, the roof has blown off.

There have been many other instances in which the Administration's rhetoric has outdistanced the facts. The hucksters in the White House appear to think that if they say something long enough it will be accepted as fact.

L'IMBROGLIO CAMBODGIEN

Hanoï écarte pour l'instant
l'éventualité d'une rencontre
Kissinger - Le Duc Tho

L'HEURE n'est pas à la né-gociation au Cambodge. Bien au contraire. Tandis que l'aviation américaine bom-barde sans relâche les maqui-sards autour de Phnom Penh, les conditions d'un règlement diplomatique de la crise cam-bodgienne sont loin d'être ras-semblées.

On parlait depuis quelques
jours d'une éventuelle rencon-
tre Kissinger-Le Duc Tho. Le
conseiller du président Nixon
n'avait pas écarté le principe
de négociations directes entre
Hanoï et Washington pour sor-

tir de l'imbroglio cambodgien.
Or, selon l'A.F.P., le Nord-Viet-
nam n'en veut pas. Pour l'ins-
tant du moins. En s'appuyant
sur l'article 20 des accords de
Paris qui affirme l'engagement
des parties signataires à res-
pecter l'indépendance et la neu-
tralité du Cambodge, on fait
remarquer dans les milieux au-
torisés de la capitale nord-viet-
namienne que si un dialogue
doit s'instaurer entre Wash-
ington et le gouvernement siha-
noukiste, l'initiative ne peut en
revenir qu'à eux seuls. La clé
du problème cambodgien n'est
pas à Hanoï. De même, le Nord-
Vietnam n'a pas à faire pres-
sion sur le Pathet Lao pour
activer la formation d'un gou-
vernement d'union nationale.
Telle est la thèse des Nord-
Vietnamiens qui ajoutent :
> « Nous demander d'intervenir
> reviendrait à prouver que nous
> sommes partie prenante dans
> les affaires de ces deux pays,
> ce qui nous mettrait dans une
> position internationale fausse. »

## Kissinger Chaucered

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — After the students in a high school English class read Chaucer's “Canterbury Tales” — stories about a group of pilgrims journeying through England in the Middle Ages — their teacher gave them an assignment:

Add a few modern verses. So Maureen Johnston chose to pen a small saga about presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. It went thus:

> "In affairs of state his prowess was at peak
> But soon it was noted there was more he would
> seek
> The world was his playground, this knave of dalliance
> From Moscow in Russia to Paris in France."

Maureen's teacher sent a copy to Kissinger. Picture the young poet's amazement when Kissinger wrote:

> "I enjoyed it very much and I appreciate
> your thinking of me."

that makes government and the governed. That they violated the law is deplorable. That they diminished respect for the integrity of government is unforgivable.

## Europe: a Challenge to the President

Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth Rush was reviewing American relations with Europe on German television last month, pointing out a number of recent accomplishments—among them the Soviet-American strategic arms limitation agreement, the four-power Berlin agreement and the ongoing East-West talks on a European security conference and the reduction of armed forces.

"So we have not been neglecting Europe," he said. "It is just a matter of Vietnam moving off stage and now we see that Europe is the center of the stage as it normally is."

That is the context of what President Nixon has called the "Year of Europe."

And so it was that last week he was host to Italian Premier Giulio Andreotti as he was in February to British Prime Minister Edward Heath. Next month he will welcome German Chancellor Willy Brandt. There is still an expectation that Soviet Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev will be in Washington in June. And now the President has announced plans for a grand tour of Europe in the autumn.

It is his most ambitious effort regarding Europe since the first months of his Presidency, when he made an eight-day trip to the principal capitals. He began that journey in Brussels at NATO headquarters to emphasize the American commitment to North Atlantic solidarity. He went at a time of European division, much of it generated by the policies of Charles de Gaulle. But when Mr. Nixon finished the trip, he concluded: "I sensed there was a new trust on the part of the Europeans for the United States."

Things have changed. The end of the Vietnam commitment for the United States has increased rather than decreased pressures to reduce the European commitment. In Europe, some of the Gaullist division has been overcome. There is widening unity, symbolized by enlargement of the Common Market and accelerating steps to detente. And,

where once Mr. Nixon perceived trust, there is a considerable degree of distrust.

The distrust is mutual. The Europeans disagreed with Mr. Nixon's policies on Vietnam and, as the bombing increased last December, more and more of them said so. This rankled Mr. Nixon and may account for the fact that he is going in the autumn rather than in the spring. On the European side, there has been concern about the sincerity of the American troop commitment ever since the narrow defeat in 1971 of Sen. Mike Mansfield's resolution to cut the American forces in half. And the Western allies were further shaken by Mr. Nixon's monetary and trade shocks later that same year.

There is, however, growing realization on both sides of the Atlantic of the mutual advantage if not necessity of sorting out the differences, for creating what Mr. Nixon told Andreotti would be a new relationship between the North Atlantic allies.

The priorities are four: (1) trade, which will be the subject of negotiations in the autumn; (2) money, trying to find a way to ease the crises that have devastated free world currencies in recent years; (3) East-West relations, seeking understandings that will maintain the confidence of all concerned as closer ties to the Communists are fashioned, and (4) security, of which the American troop levels and the 6th Fleet operation are only part of the problem.

Mr. Nixon's challenge this year is to restore confidence and cooperation in a community of nations whose interdependence cannot be ignored. It may prove a greater challenge to his leadership than the initiatives last year with the Soviet Union and China.

And it is a challenge made the more pressing by Japan, whose power in the world economy has made interdependence a concept that bridges the Pacific as well as the Atlantic. On economic issues, the "Year of Europe" can be a success only if it is a "Year of Japan" also.

(KISSINGER-WATERGATE)

NEW YORK (UPI) -- PRESIDENTIAL ADVISER HENRY KISSINGER BROKE HIS SILENCE MONDAY ON THE WATERGATE CASE, SAYING IT IS DIFFICULT "TO AVOID A SENSE OF THE AWEFULNESS OF EVENTS AND THE TRAGEDY THAT HAS BEFALLEN PEOPLE ALLEGED TO HAVE DONE THESE THINGS FOR WHATEVER REASON."

KISSINGER, IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS ABOUT WATERGATE AT THE ANNUAL ASSOCIATED PRESS LUNCHEON, SAID HE DID NOT THINK THE CASE WOULD HAVE ANY SERIOUS EFFECT ON FOREIGN POLICY.

"AFTER FULL DISCLOSURE AND THE HUMAN TRAGEDIES ARE COMPLETE, THEN THE COUNTRY WILL GO ON AND WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO GO THROUGH AN ORGY OF RECRIMINATION," HE SAID. "BUT THE COUNTRY WILL STILL BE THERE AND WE MUST HAVE FAITH AND THE PROMISE OF THE COUNTRY WILL RETURN."

AS TO WHETHER THE SCANDAL WOULD HAVE ANY BEARING ON WHETHER HE LEAVES THE WHITE HOUSE OR NOT, KISSINGER SAID HE ALWAYS HAD BELIEVED HE SHOULD LEAVE "AT A MOMENT WHEN SOME MAJOR TASK HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AND THE POSITION COULD BE HANDED OVER WITH SOME CONTINUITY."

"BUT THIS IS NOT THE MOMENT FOR A SENIOR OFFICIAL OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO VOICE HIS OPINION," HE ADDED.

ASKED WHERE HE WAS THE NIGHT WATERGATE WAS BUGGED, HE REPLIED, "I USUALLY HAVE EXCELLENT ALIBIS FOR MY EVENINGS."

NHAN DAN REJECTS KISSINGER'S 'EXTREMELY INSOLENT SLANDERS'

S250525 HANOI IN VIETNAMESE TO VIETNAM 0425 GMT 25 APR 73 S

(NHAN DAN 25 APRIL COMMENTARY: "THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION CANNOT TURN WHITE INTO BLACK")

(TEXT) THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION HAS REPEATEDLY UTTERED ARGUMENTS TO FALSELY ACCUSE THE DRV OF NOT RESPECTING THE PARIS AGREEMENT. ON 23 APRIL, AT AN ANNUAL MEETING OF U.S. NEWSMEN, DR HENRY KISSINGER, PRESIDENT NIXON'S SPECIAL ADVISER, ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THIS CAMPAIGN. HE FALSELY ACCUSED NORTH VIETNAM OF SYSTEMATICALLY AND BRAZENLY VIOLATING ALL THE MAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PEACE AGREEMENT ON VIETNAM, ACCORDING TO AFP ON 23 APRIL. THIS ARGUMENT WAS AIMED AT TURNING WHITE INTO BLACK.

THE PARIS AGREEMENT MARKS A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE'S GENERATIONS-LONG STRUGGLE OBJECTIVES. BECAUSE SERIOUS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE'S ASPIRATIONS AND INTERESTS, WE HAVE NO REASON TO OPPOSE OUR OWN ASPIRATIONS AND INTERESTS.

THE U.S. SLANDER IS ONLY A FAMILIAR TRICK AIMED AT COVERING UP THE U.S. ACTIONS SERIOUSLY VIOLATING THE PARIS AGREEMENT ON VIETNAM. THE REALITIES OVER THE PAST NEARLY 3 MONTHS, AND ESPECIALLY RECENT EVENTS, PROVE CLEARLY THAT IT IS THE UNITED STATES WHICH HAS SYSTEMATICALLY AND BRAZENLY VIOLATED THE MAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT AND THE ACT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VIETNAM.

THE DRV FOREIGN MINISTRY'S NOTE AND THE PRGRSV'S MEMORANDUM WHICH WERE SENT TO ALL PARTIS THAT ATTENDED THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VIETNAM CLEARLY POINTED OUT THE GRAVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE SAIGON ADMINISTRATION.

LET US ONLY POINT OUT HERE ONLY A FEW EXAMPLES: THE UNITED STATES HAS WITHDRAWN ITS TROOPS BUT LEFT BEHIND MORE THAN 10,000 DISGUISED CIVILIAN PERSONNEL. ACCORDING TO THE AGREEMENT, THE UNITED STATES MUST DISMANTLE ALL U.S. MILITARY BASES AND WITHDRAW ALL U.S. WEAPONS. BUT THE UNITED STATES TURNED U.S. WEAPONS AND MILITARY BASES OVER TO THE SAIGON ARMY AND INTRODUCED MORE NEW WEAPONS INTO SOUTH VIETNAM. THE UNITED STATES HAS EXHORTED THE SAIGON ARMY TO CONDUCT OPERATIONS RELENTLESSLY TO NIBBLE AT THE LIBERATED AREAS. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CIVILIAN PERSONNEL ARRESTED AND DETAINED BY THE UNITED STATES AND THE SAIGON ADMINISTRATION HAVE NOT YET BEEN FREED. THE UNITED STATES HAS UNILATERALLY DELAYED THE REMOVAL OF MINES IN NORTH VIETNAM, SUSPENDED THE TALKS HELD BY THE JOINT DRV-U.S. ECONOMIC COMMISSION, SENT AIRCRAFT TO SPY ON THE DRV, AND SO FORTH.

IN LAOS, THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO FLY THOUSANDS OF RECONNAISSANCE MISSIONS AND HAS MANY TIMES BOMBED THE LAO LIBERATED AREAS AND DIRECTED THE VIETNAMESE FACTION TO IMPEDE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT ON RESTORING PEACE AND ACHIEVING NATIONAL CNCORD IN LAOS.

IN CAMBODIA, ALL TYPES OF U.S. AIRCRAFT, INCLUDING B-52'S, HAVE CONDUCTED UNPRECEDENTEDLY FIERCE BOMBINGS TO EXTERMINATE THE KHMER PEOPLE. ACCORDING TO U.S. SOURCES, ON 24 APRIL, WHILE KISSINGER WAS BALLYHOOING THE UNITED STATES' RESPECT FOR THE AGREEMENT, B-52'S CONDUCTED ONE OF THE FIERCEST BOMBING CAMPAIGNS IN CAMBODIA.

THUS, THIS IS NOTHING BUT A VERY INSOLENT ATTITUDE, BECAUSE ONE IS COMMITTING A WRONG AND THEN TRYING TO SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHER PEOPLE. THE REALITIES AND JUSTICE HAVE CATEGORICALLY REFUTED NIXON ADMINISTRATION'S SLANDEROUS, FALSE, AND EXTREMELY INSOLENT ARGUMENTS.

As an appropriate corollary to an improved selection process, the governor proposes a permanent Commission on Judicial Conduct to investigate complaints of judicial misbehavior or incompetency and to recommend disciplinary action or removal by the Court on the Judiciary.

Drawing heavily on last January's findings of the state's temporary court commission, the governor reiterates his previous calls for a full state takeover of court administration and costs. Realistically, centralized direction of budgeting and manpower, with authority vested in a chief administrative officer, is a

state-benches test this be an unwarranted patronage device calculated to make the governor's reforms more palatable.

But if this reform initiative falls short in some respects of a truly comprehensive court restructuring and unification, we see no reason for deferring until next year the initial passage of at least as much constitutional revision as the governor has proposed. By nailing down first passage of the required amendment this year, the Legislature will have ample opportunity after interim review and public hearings to see if it can improve on that constitutional package next year.

## A New 'Atlantic Charter', us/eurоп

In 1947 Secretary of State George C. Marshall gave a speech that laid the foundation of the Marshall Plan and of America's postwar partnership with Europe. This week Henry Kissinger, foreign affairs adviser to President Nixon, gave an address that could play a similar part in forging a new partnership for the era ahead.

The postwar era is over, and the old partnership, which, as Mr. Kissinger said, has been the cornerstone of U.S. policy, cannot continue as it has. The fundamental question is whether a new partnership can be formed under the altered conditions of today—with Europe not only recovered but a formidable economic rival, with detente an increasing reality and with the emergence of others powers, notably Japan, on the world scene.

Mr. Kissinger declares it the U.S. belief that such a new partnership can be formed and that a "new era of creativity in the West" will result. He offered no detailed prescription, saying the details would have to be worked out jointly, but he proposed that by the time Mr. Nixon visits Europe toward the end of this year, the U.S. and Europe "will have

worked out a new Atlantic Charter setting the goals for the future."

Creating such a structure will be much more complex than rebuilding and defending Europe during the cold war. It must draw its inspiration, Mr. Kissinger said, "from its goals rather than its fears." There are undoubtedly differences, and Mr. Kissinger was very frank about them — the economic rivalry, the sharing of the defense burden and the European distrust of "superpower diplomacy" — but he believes the differences can be worked out if the allies establish an "overriding sense of direction."

America is once again stretching its hand to Europe, this time not the hand of assistance but the hand of an equal partner. Whether Europe will respond as it did to Gen. Marshall remains to be seen. Even if it does, it is still uncertain how much a desire for unity will overcome the petty bickering over our main differences.

In any case, there can now be no doubt in the minds of Europeans that this is indeed "the year of Europe," that Mr. Kissinger has been doing his homework and that significant diplomatic developments are in the offing.

### Create Employment For Those on Welfare

Welfare has brought many disputes between the taxpayer and the welfare recipient.

The most significant complaint from the taxpayer is giving a share of his hard-earned money to persons who are perfectly capable, in most cases, of holding down a job.

I feel that jobs should be created for those people on welfare rolls who are able to work. Jobs such as environmental maintenance and highway clean-ups would not only give employment to the jobless but would also result in a cleaner environment.

## Fresh Start for U.S., Europe

Like a surgeon probing its most sensitive areas, Henry A. Kissinger explored the Atlantic community's sorest trouble spots in his speech to the Associated Press on Monday.

Those centers of trouble are (1) defense strategy, shaky because there is mistrust between the allies; and (2) trade and economic friction, now that Europe has grown up as a rival to the United States. Solutions are possible, but not without clashing of gears.

Brilliantly, Kissinger hit the main points in these terms:

* Young Europeans, who never lived through war, take peace for granted, not knowing how much the Atlantic Charter and NATO achieved and maintain for them. Americans are weary of global police work.

* Our unity was "forged by a common perception of danger" in the wake of World War II. Can that unity "draw new purpose from shared positive aspiration?"

* The West no longer holds nuclear predominance. Nuclear war (massive retaliation strategy) means mutual suicide. Therefore the West must have a strategy of flexible response that is credible to itself and to potential adversaries.

* Does that mean leaving American troops in Europe "as a hostage to trigger our nuclear weapons"? Or are they to be

part of a believable structure of defense for all of the West?

* President Nixon promises he will not pull U.S. forces out of Europe unilaterally, and will continue doing America's fair share in NATO and in negotiating for mutual and balanced force reductions.

* As for economic problems, Europe, a market of 250 million people mobilizing other nations into its own regional orbit, has been cutting the United States out of its trade system. Common Market protectionism has injured U.S. agricultural exports just when U.S. trade is hurting most.

* It is time for a fresh start on the West's side. War is ending in Southeast Asia. Openings to the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China have been made and widened. Japan has come of age industrially, economically and diplomatically.

Old pictures of mid-European belligerency look yellowed around the edges. It is so much the harder to whip up community enthusiasm in the West for an off-chance disaster. Yet the threat is still there each time some Communist anti-Western dogma burgeons out of the news from Moscow or Peking.

Kissinger was bidding for big Free World thinking, and broad-minded cooperation. He pledged the United States to that task, and his invitation to "our friends in Europe" to join in that spirit to revitalize the alliance was stated honestly and with grace.

ATZ. Charter
# Kissinger: On To Europe

$X=AR.$

Can the non-Communist nations of
most of our forebears sit down toget-
er and define common goals? That is
what Dr. Henry Kissinger has asked in
his "new Atlantic charter" speech to
the American newspaper publishers.
He has tried to answer by saying it is
a necessity.

In an unusually somber, searching speech which obviously had the blessings of President Richard Nixon, his top adviser has posed the question of how to gain maximum cooperation with Europe and Japan. His proposal comes not a moment too soon, for there is a sense of worsening diplomatic affairs between the U.S. and Western Europe.

Kissinger's proposal does not spell
out how dollar valuations should work,
nor does it define how much American
investment should be allowed in Eu-
rope. It asks rather that the nations
examine their similarities in political
viewpoints (democracy) and heritage
(philosophy). It stresses there must be
something beyond the economic fights
that divide us.

"The United States proposes to its Atlantic partners that, by the time the President travels to Europe toward the end of the year, we will have worked out a new Atlantic charter setting the goals of the future," Kissinger said.

In another context that would be

lieve people quite believe police offi-
cers are human beings. . . . It charges
are made against them, people imme-
diately think they're guilty," said one,
at the aldermanic committee hearing.
Unhappily, there is enough truth in
that statement to cause concern.

There is one more thing to be said. The five policemen fired from the force deserved it at one level. But it ought to be added that their errors were errors of judgement under intense pressure, not any matter of evil intent or of corruption in betraying a public trust. They deserve both understanding and sympathy . . . and appreciation for their previous good work as police officers.

called management by objective. It
means simply that the goals should be
written out and agreed to by the con-
ferees. They might well sound naive,
i.e., we pledge not to accuse each
other of evil things in deciding what
troop levels should be left in Europe.
They might well sound euphoric, i.e.,
we pledge to consult our European
partners before taking dramatic new
diplomatic steps. In return, the Euro-
peans might undertake assurances on
their own that they will shoulder a big-
ger defense burden for themselves.

These philosophic points need to
be stated in writing, no matter how
basic they seem. For the technicians
to be able to achieve their goals of
working out new monetary and trade
agreements, it is necessary to have
some overall objectives reduced to
paper and signed by the principals.

Only after that has been done can
the U.S. and Europe—and Japan as
well—solve the frictions and tensions
that beset the nations.

Kissinger has hit the right points at the right time, as is his custom. With an unerring (seemingly) sense of historical shifts and tensions, he has come to spell out what the U.S. must do next. This time he has arrived at an eminently sensible suggestion, one which President Nixon undoubtedly approved.

ATLANTIC
STORY

Next Big Kissinger Target:
A Renewed Atlantic Alliance

THOUGH the bombs still fall in
Southeast Asia, the Nixon administra-
tion has launched its next big foreign
initiative: a freshened Atlantic alliance,
with Japan included.

There is the clear presumption that,
however fragile Vietnam peace may ap-
pear, U.S. involvement there is near an
end and the next great business must be

a repairing of relations and an agree-
ment in broad approach with old allies
and new competitors.

Just as the administration did in
fashioning the historic detente with
China and the Soviet Union, the sugges-
tion now is to put aside obvious differ-
ences and technical snarls in order to
concentrate on areas of mutual need.

"Our challenge is whether a unity
forged by a common perception of
danger can draw new purpose from
shared positive aspirations," Dr. Henry
Kissinger said in his precise and ac-
demic speech to the annual meeting of
The Associated Press in New York.

Dr. Kissinger explained that it was
easier for Europe, Japan and the United
States to be allies before common
dangers. But now commonality is less
compelling. Old allies are now intense
competitors.

As international tensions relax —
because of the detente with China and
the Soviet Union, the winding down of
the Vietnam war — rivalries and ambi-
tions that had been subordinated out of
fear will emerge.

The United States will face the temp-
tations of retrenchment and isolation
and protectionism. Its allies face trou-
blesome decisions about an Atlantic alli-nce undergoing this strain.

Dr. Kissinger emphasizes that the
need for Atlantic alliance exists as much
or more than ever, and that out of the
need the United States and its allies
must creatively fashion a new concept
of their interdependence. Entanglements
that may exist at working levels must
not be allowed to deter this, he said.

"The solutions will not be worthy of
the opportunity if left to technicians.
They must be addressed at the highest
level," was the way Dr. Kissinger put it.

The speech, calling for "a new Atlani-
tic charter," has been compared to the
historic proposal of the Marshall Plan
some 26 years ago. The similarity rests
primarily in asking whether there is not
something beyond commerce to hold the
United States, Europe and Japan togethet
as allies.

At this point, Dr. Kissinger has made
an appeal only for agreement on the
philosophical principle that a need for
alliance exists. It is the careful kind of
beginning with which reasonable men
should agree.

The Gold Coast
Has Been Moved

IN THE 19th Century, trade followed
the flag. Tea and opium merchants had
things their own way in Asia because of
armed frigates and marines convenient-
ly stationed close by the trading sta-
tions.

But the clock cannot be turned back.
American oil companies cannot send
their tankers into Kuwait and Bahrein in
the Persian Gulf in the company of a de-
striayer fleet and order the sheik to "fill
'er up."

That is why Florida Power and Light
Co. is going to the Middle East with oil
can in hand, trying to fill it up so that
electricity will continue to flow to its
million customers.

The Gold Coast is no longer in Flori-
da. It is on the Arabian peninsula and
the chiefs of the desert kingdoms will
determine whether South Florida air-
conditioners will continue to hum and
how much it will cost for them to oper-
ate.

1701 :PENTAGON:

LOS ANGELES, AYRIL 25, REUTER-- GEN. ALEXANDER HAIG, PRESIDENT NIXONS TOP MILITARY ADVISER ON THE VIETNAM WAR, TESTIFIED IN THE PENTAGON PAPERS TRIAL TODAY TO CONTRADICT PART OF THE TESTIMONY GIVEN BY TWO DEFENSE WITNESSES.

HAIG, ONE OF THE NEGOTIATORS OF THE VIETNAM PEACE AGREEMENT, WAS THE HIGHEST RANKING WITNESS YET CALLED BY THE PROSECUTION. HE APPEARED IN COURT IN THE FULL UNIFORM OF A FOUR-STAR GENERAL.

AS HE WAS LEAVING THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT ONE OF THE TWO DEFENDANTS, ANTHONY RUSSO, 36, RACED AFTER HIM TO SHOUT "GENOCIDAL WARRIOR" AT HAIG, ON THE COURTHOUSE STEPS.

RUSSO AND THE PRINCIPAL DEFENDANT, DR. DANIEL ELLSBERG, 36, ARE CHARGED WITH ESPIONAGE, CONSPIRACY AND THEFT FOR LEAKING THE TOP-SECRET STUDY ON THE VIETNAM WAR IN 1969.

HAIG, WHO DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS THE "ALTER EGO" OF PRESIDENTIAL ADVISER HENRY KISSINGER, CONTRADICTED TESTIMONY BY TWO DEFENSE WITNESSES THAT THEY HAD TOP LEVEL ADVOSRY POSTS TO KISSINGER IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION.

# A new Atlantic Charter

The unquestioned good in the alliance between the US, Europe and Japan proposed by White House national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, far outweighs the questionable.

Mr. Kissinger cannot be gainsaid in his firm belief that "the gradual accumulation of sometimes petty, sometimes major economic disputes must be . . . replaced by a determined commitment on both sides of the Atlantic to find cooperative solutions."

Our own trade problems, the value of our money, the escalating balance of payments deficits, our deficits in raw materials, inflation, unemployment—all these only too clearly substantiate Mr. Kissinger's assertion that "problems have arisen, unforeseen a generation ago, which require new types of cooperative action. Insuring the supply of energy for industrialized nations is an example."

Between the lines of Mr. Kissinger's proposal is a fact of life which it may be difficult for many Americans to accept. This is that the US now is more in the position of a supplicant than of the bountiful giver it was in the post-World War II years when the parent of Mr. Kissinger's proposal, the Marshall Plan, became operative. It is salutary that Washington appears to accept this reality. It is not so clear that a strong Europe, prospering in the Common Market, now will be so willing to give as it once was to take. But Mr. Kissinger's argument for what amounts to fair reciprocity is compelling, or ought to be:

"The Atlantic nations must find a solution for the management of their diversity to serve the common objectives which underlie their unity. We can no longer afford to pursue national or regional self-interest without a unifying framework."

A difficulty with the Kissinger proposal (or so it now seems) is that the alliance he seeks contains the seeds of trouble as well as of economic salvation. To proclaim 1973 as the year of Europe," counting in Japan as a sort of auxiliary member, overlooks the fact that better prospects lie in world-wide concert.

It needs to be remembered that the Marshall Plan not only resulted in the reconstruction of war-torn Europe. It resulted, also, in the Cold War which periodically threatened to break out in a very hot, nuclear war. A new alliance which draws an even sharper line between the Warsaw Pact group and the Atlantic nations, and includes a very non-Atlantic Japan with which Russia is still technically at war, may not be the best possible solution to world problems. Mr. Kissinger alluded to this at least impliedly. "We shall continue to pursue the relaxation of tensions with our adversaries on the basis of concrete negotiations in the common interest."

Mr. Kissinger may have come up with a sound formula, providing the other Atlantic nations and Japan go along. It remains to be seen, however, whether "tensions with our adversaries" will be relaxed or aggravated.
