MO. In spite of Khrushchev's belligerent talk, all the cards aren't stacked in his favor ' Despite Nikita Khrushchev's bellig erent talk and his apparent confidence that Communism Is the wave of the fu ture, the cards are not all on his side. Through the Soviet empire, he has troubles. It Is true that some of these trou bles are of a nature that he might be tempted to cure them by risking a nu clear war. But there are others, which seem even more severe, to give him pause. Even Berlin is a two-edged sword. Since the cold war division of East West, more than three million Germans have escaped to the West, approximate ly half of them through the Berlin gate way. Most of these have been young and many have been experts desperately needed by East German industry and agriculture. East Germany's lubor needs are so great that the Communists have, been forced to call upon neighboring satellites for help. This, along with West Berlin's prop aganda value to the West, has been among the causes leading Khrushchev to label West Berlin a bone In his throat. Despite outer-space successes and gains In Southeast Asia, Khrushchev needs a resounding victory with which to present the Communist world in his Ideological argument with the Red Chinese. Elimination of West Berlin as a western stronghold would be such a victory, the thought of which might lead him Into temptation. Opposing fac tors might be these: While Berlin has been an irritating escape-hatch for those wishing to flee Communism, it also has served as a safety valve. June 17, 1953, provided in the East Berlin uprising explosive proof that the East Germans had not resigned them selves to Communism and were capable of revolt. Each successive repressive Com munist measure has resulted in a new exodus to the West. To remove this safety valve might be only to Invite more trouble from the already restive Germans. But more important from Khrush chev's standpoint must be his differ ences with the Red Chinese under Mao Tse-tung. A war over Berlin, in which the Soviet Union would suffer at least as much as Its opponent, could be of value only to the Red Chinese who then would be in a position to sweep across Asia and even threaten the Soviet Union it self. None of us, of course, expect this to happen. Khrushchev docs have his problems though. The United States has no corner on this market. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't get ourselves prepared for the worst In Berlin. Even so, K's problems will make him think twice. Bug catchers' net might save a life Three piers out from the west shore of the Deschutes River, a boy in base ball uniform dangled from the Drake Park footbridge the other evening. Ho was attempting to recover a baseball that had been hit out of Har mon Field and was drifting down the Deschutes. The lad's poriMon.. JwjtigJrs over the swift water while KT-PPlng a bar above, was uncomfortable, and pre carious. In his free hand he held his cap, hopeful of catching the drifting ball. The effort failed. The scene was not unusual. Vir tually every evening boys slip over the bridge railing and attempt to recover drifting baseballs. Some of the efforts are successful. But it is a dangerous undertaking. Here Is a suggestion to the men -hi ete?r:izz &.'.; piny m U..ruion' Field: Attach a bug catcher's net to the end of a long pole, and make it avail able for the bnll-chaslng boys. The device might save a life. The Appling move starts The move to get Secretary of State Howell Appling into the race for U. S. Senate opposite Wayne Morse, which we commented on last week, Is underway. That "back to pasture" letter clr culated by a Portland supporter of Ap pling is the first step. Depending upon the results of this letter, there will probably be others. In spite of what Appling says Humor from others The happy bridal couple had Just driven away from the church when they heard the angry shrill of a state troop er's siren. Embarrassed, the groom pull ed over to the curb and asked what he had done. about not being a candidate in 19G2, we expect that he will eventually be the Morse opponent. If this is to bo the case, he'd better throw off any preten tions to the contrary and get busy. Sen. Morse, In spite of the fact that he didn't show well In Inst year's presidential primary, is the mos't for midable political campaigner In the state today. He will be the favorite no matter who runs against him. "Nothing," gnid the trooper, "but I've been In front of the church for two hours directing traffic for your wed ding. Now I want my chance to kiss the bride." Reader's Digest. By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON - Only a few intimates were aware of it, but President Kennedy went through agonies of the soul before he fi nally dispatched the U.S. reply to Premier Khrushchev on Berlin. He finally scrawled most of the American note In his own hand writing. Outwardly relaxed and confi dent, the young President rocked calmly in hU straight backed rocker, occasionally lit a long ci gar as he discussed the grim al ternatives in Berlin. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, bolstered by the ad vice of his military chiefs, favor ed calling Khrushchev's bluff. He pointed out that Kussia has never started a war against an equal power, suggested that Khrushchev would back away from a military showdown. In reply to Kennedy's prodding questions, however, McNamara acknowledged that we could not defeat Russia on the battlefield without dropping the atom bomb, and that Kussia could win any limited war. Thus the terrible choice would be up to the United States whether to accept defeat in Germany or plunge the world into the holocaust of a nuclear war. Beware ot Emotions Secretary of State Dean Rusk was more cautious, warned against getting caught on an es calator of rising tensions. Such "political escalation," as he called it, could carry the nation beyond the point of retreat into an inevit able war. In short, he favored a strong, but not a militant, stand. He also reported there was a strong undercurrent of feeling in the State Department that the United States should avoid an un yielding line on Berlin; should fol low a moderate course. Tills school of thought contend ed that Khrushchev was hurting himself with all his rocket-rattling, that the United States could win more friends by appearing reasonable and flexible. Kennedy suggested to Rusk that the moderates submit a specific program on how they would hand le the Berlin crisis. They counter ed with a proposal to take the is sue to the United Nations Genera) Assembly in September. They pro posed charging Khrushchev with threatening the peace over Bor lin, and calling for economic sanc tions if Khrushchev failed to ac cept the UN verdict. The President pointed out that the UN verdict might favor Khru shchev, that the nutralist nations might be persuaded to accept Khrushchev's suggestion of a free city. Allied "No" However, the idea was circula ted among our allies for their re action. From Paris came the vio lent opposition of Presidont De Gaulle, who was dead determined to keep the UN out of any Berlin solution rhnncellor Adenauer of West Germany was also opposed. The British, however, flirted with the idea, suggested that the Uni ted Nations might even send a force into Berlin to keep the peace. In the end, the allies coordina ted their diplomacy In preparing their separate notes to the Krem lin. De Gaulle held out to the end for even tougher notes. He oppos ed the slightest suggestion that the West could be willing to negoti ate over Berlin, even as part of an over-all European settlement. The President, in scrawling much of tlio American note in his own handwriting, explained to aides that he intended to stand firm in Berlin and wanted Khru shchev to know It. But at the same time, he didn't want to use such provocative languago that Khrushchev would be forced to carry out his warlike threats in order to save face. Mall Bag C. Edwin Kline, Silver Spring, Md. Despite the statement of GOP Senator Scott of Pennsylvan ia, Adlai Stevenson did not de mand that American airplanes be withheld from the Cuban Freedom Fighters' operation over the Bay of Pies. This story was nut out by Willi-uu V,-..lcj, ilftl.aiand aavis er to tlio late Dictator Tnijillo.

Senator Randolph says: "The claims of the handicapped are not an appeal for chairty but for the right to live a full, constructive life within the limits of their po tentialities. Tha Diplomatic Cables U.S. Ambassador Thompson be lieves that Nikita Khrushchev is under terrific pressure from the Chinese Communists, and that this is the reason he is acting so tough. The Chinese have some al lies within the Kremlin high com mand who side with them, not with Khrushchev. So, rather than be accused of softness, Khrush chev's strategy will continue to be to rebuff any allied offer of compromise. . .The Ameri ca n Embassy at Seoul has warned that conditions in South Korea are so chaotic a new revolution can be expected any minute.

Katanga may turn to Russia ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga, The Congo (UPD The seces sionist Katanga Province govern ment announced today it had given up hope that the "free world" would settle the Congo crisis and said it might turn to Russia for help. Katanga Interior Minister Gode- froid Munungo said his govern ment planned to contact Commu nist-backed Antoine Glzenga, lead er of the Stanleyville regime to "concert our points of view." He said that if the Katanga and Stanleyville factions could not work out a solution to the crisis. his government would "not hesi tate to request assistance from the Soviet Union.

To the Editor: Oregon has received the go ahead signal from the Keniiedy administration to press for a Na tional Seashore on the Oregon coast as part of the national park system. Secretary of the Interior Udall spoke for the administra tion when he enthusiastically en dorsed the proposed park when he was in Portland in June. He believes that Oregon must have this seashore park because the United States population increase is forcing efforts to save the best scenic and recreational anas for public enjoyment now and in the future, and Oregon has one of the best sites. Secretary Udall recog nizes that Oregon needs the great economic stimulus that the Sea shore Park would bring, as other National Parks have similarly benefited the areas In which they were established. He also be lieves this park would be the most suitable memorial to Richard Neuberger, whose great work for conservation he remembers and admires. Like the previous Eisenhower administration, the Kennedy ad ministration supports this major development on Oregon's majes tic coast. Governor Hatfield, what do you say? (Mrs.) Maxine E.
