WEDNESDAY, MARCH IS. 1. urn By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst From isolated, land-locked Laos to equally isolated, land locked Berlin, the Communist : nations are es- tabllshing the patterns they. :innnpnntlv in. m tend to follow in deal ings with the Ken nedy adminis tration. They are not really Neviom very cniierent from those followed by the Reds during the eight years of the two Eisenhower ad ministrations. In the weeks which follow ed the presidential elections last November, Communist diplomats in Western Europe "leaked" the Information that Nikita Khrushchev would give the new U.S. adminis tration six months to get on its feet before pressing any of the important issues over which the two nations are at odds. Propaganda Value Such assurance were in the pattern of Khrushchev's co existence theme but were of greater propaganda than prac tical value. Last week three Important meetings took place. In a country dacha outside the Siberian city of Novosi birsk 1,700 miles from Mos cow, U.S. Ambassador Llewel lyn E. Thompson sat down with Khrushchev to deliver a message from President Ken nedy.

Thus, in tones that sug gested an im pending Arm ageddon, began the statement of the new director ot trie U.S. Information Agency at his confirmation hearing be fore the Senate Foreign Re lations committee Tuesday. It was a good thing for me that the erstwhile Egbert identified himself at the out set of his testimon. Otherwise, I probably would not have recognized him. Like most televiewers, I was accustomed to seeing the famous newscaster, interview er and documentary producer p e a r i n g at his audience through a cloud of tobacco smoke.

His smok ing habits have been lampoon ed by just about every co median in America Not A Drag But in a stint of almost two hours before the commit tee s microphones, Murrow didn t even have a single drag, He just sat there, answering questions and wringing his nanas How that poor fellow must have suffered! Not only, for once, was his face clearly visi ble, but it also was plain to see that his nerves were shot, As he read his prepared statement, the manuscript trembled in his hands and beads of perspiration dropped from his chin. Under the table, his knees were twitch. ing and his feet kept up a ceaseless jiggle. I couldn't imagine that a man who had regularly ap peared before audiences num bering in the millions would be that nervous about testify ing before a few senators. I assumed, therefore, that he had a case of the tobacco jitters. My first thought was that Murrow had given up smok ing in order to conform with the health trend on the New rontier. After all, a chain moker probably wouldn't last long in a touch football game. Takes Pay Cut Then the committee brought out that Murrow had taken a 90 per cent pay cut when he left broadcasting to join the Kennedy administration. This led me to conclude that he could no longer afford to in dulge his habit. It turned out, however, that my conjecturing was off base. Murrow has not abandoned cigarettes. Being a newcomer and unfamiliar with . Senate rules, he was just needlessly torturing himself. I found this out after the hearing when someone asked Murrow why he had abstain ed from lighting up. "I wanted to," he said. "But I didn't know if it was per mitted." I think it's safe to predict that the USIA chief will never again expose himself to a con gressional committee. The next time he is called to testi fy, he undoubtedly will be back behind a smokescreen. Figure Showcase (PRINTED PATTERNS in a 9160 fifcgL SIZES ( (ToVWWX 10-18 LmhMMS ticularly encouraging. Thomp son new back to Moscow with the only comment, "I shall always be an optimist." There seemed not even room for further talk with Red China. Chinese Hold Firm In a renewal of their meet ings in Warsaw, the United States proposed an exchange of news correspondents and appealed for the release of five Americans held by the Red Chinese. Both the pro posal and the appeal were re jected summarily. 'In the United Nations, the United States sought to push the thorniest cold war issues into the background, at least temporarily. U. S. delegate Adlai Stevenson proposed to Andrei Gromyko that the as sembly agenda be cut to the bone and steps be taken to pave the way later for serious negotiations on such items as disarmament. The Soviets refused to sur render even momentarily their propaganda forum. The Kennedy administra tion has not hesitated- to change course when it be lieved such a change advan tageous. But experiences of the last week indicated that the Communist concept of co existence still mean only total surrender. Castro Foes Fire Woolworth Stores Washington Report By WILLIAM S. WHITE Whits Washington-President Ken nedy does not lightly join issue with anybody in the spirit of either - or, of all-or-nothing. But he has c o m m 1 1 ted himself to just such a flat-out con test with a part of Con gress against general f e d- eral aid to private and par ochial schools. On this one, the die Is cast; he will not turn back. The consequences cannot be whol ly foreseen; but they will surely be many and grave. Indeed, it now appears that in these first few months of his administration he may be entering a crisis no less funda mental than the crisis of 1938 when Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court. That crisis brought to an end an extraordinarily long political honeymoon for Mr. Roosevelt. Never again did he attain the degree of public backing he had enjoyed. rpHE present crisis may bring for Mr. Kennedy just such an end to another political honeymoon. But the great difference is this: Mr. Roose velt was trying to force the high court to change its opin ions. Mr. Kennedy is attempt ing to support as the law of the land what he is quite sure Havana HIPD Foes of hs the high court's settled opin- Premier Fidel Castro set fire ion against federal aid to non- to two government - seized Woolworth stores Tuesday night and bombed two other nationalized retail centers in the biggest outbreak of anti Castro sabotage in downtown Havana since New Year s. The fires, apparently set by delayed - action phosphorus charges in top - floor ware houses at the two stores, start ed about 7 p.m. and burned until after midnight. Thick black smoke blanketed down town Havana. A fire department spokes man blamed both blazes on "sabotage." The Castroite ra dio blamed it on "phosphorus sent by the Yankee imperial ist Central Intelligence Agen cy and placed by traitors bought by blood-stained Yan kee gold." Kennedy Slates Afternoon Talks Washington (UPD Presi dent Kennedy divided his time today between his week ly news conference and two White House meetings on na tional security and foreign af fairs. The, President was sched uled to meet with newsmen at 10 a.m. (EST). The confer ence, which was not being televised or broadcast live, was Kennedy's seventh since he took office on Jan. 20. The news conference was the President's only scheduled morning activity. He had a 2:45 p.m. meeting with Sec retary of State Dean Rusk, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Presiden tial Assistant McGeorge Bun- dy. At 4 p.m. Kennedy plan ned to confer with Bundy and State Department and Defense Department officials. PRINTED PATTERNS V Spring and Summer 1961 Seven Children Die in House Fire Excelsior Springs, Mo. (UPD Seven children, 2 to 11 years old, died today in a fire which swept a rural home near here while the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Floyd, were away. The children were Glenn Douglas Floyd, 2, Mona Lou, 3, Roxy Ann, 4, Wiley, 6, Kalhey, 7, Sheila, 9, and Ar nold Eugene, 11. Authorities said the parents came here Tuesday night to do the family laundry at a laundromat. They returned to find the house, near the vil 1 a g c of Vibbard, Mo., flames. It was destroyed. public schools. Though there is much sur face confusion, the facts are these: 1. The President wants - and wants only - federal aid to education to the public schools through direct grants. 2. He does not want - sim ply because in his view the court has already said it would be unconstitutional - any ad ditional program to offer loans, as distinguished from gifts, to private and parochial schools. Such an additional program is being demanded by Catholic spokesmen. HIS recent appeal to Con gress first to approve grants for public schools and then to consider, if it wished, loans to non - public schools has been widely misunderstood. There is some feeling in Congress that the President really cieant to suggest a trade - you give me federal aid to public schools and then I will give you loans to non public schools. This, however, was In no way Mr. Kennedy's intention. He had already questioned the constitutionality of across-the-bord loan aid to the pri vate and parochial schools. He has since had legal advice from the department of justice - headed by his brother, Rob ert, who like the President is a Catholic - to the same effect. use it. In the most Intimate sense they are drawing their six-shooters against the Presi dent. (Copyright. 1961, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) House OK's Rank For Eisenhower Washington IUPD The House has passed with one dissenting vote a bill to re store former President Dwight D. Elsenhower to his former five-star general rank. Democrats and Republicans praised Eisenhower for an hour Tuesday, and then it came time to vote. Everybody figured it was just a formality, but when it came turn for the congress man from Little Rock to vote, he voted "no" loud and clear. Rep. Dale Alford (D-Ark.) refused to pay tribute to the former president because Ei senhower sent troops to Little Rock in the 1957 integration crisis, the Issue which put Alford in Congress. Peace Negotiations On Algeria Nearing Paris IUPD France and Algerian Moslem rebels have leached virtual agreement on arrangements for opening for mal peace negotiations to end the six-year-old Algerian war, it was reported today. Reliable sources predicted the negotiations would begin before next week end. French and rebel emissaries also were said to have agreed to an informal "cease fire" once the talks began. Both sides would end military oper ations under a purely "gen tleman's agreement." The arrangements were completed In a series of secret talks in Switzerland during the past two weeks by repre sentatives of France and the Tunis-based Algerian rebel "government." Sources said the two sides avoided all arguments on pro cedure which caused the col lapse of preliminary contacts in Melun last June. Where do you stay in PORTLAND?

Telephone CA 8-5262 Portland, Oregon THUS what he Is saying to Congress - and all he Is saying - is this: I have re peatedly given you my con viction that aid to non-public schools cannot stand up under the Constitution. So please don't mix up this question with aid to public education. Pass public aid. Then, if you are determined to go into this other question you will do it on your own sole responsibility. This correspondent would never attempt to pass person al judgment on the rights or wrongs of this profoundly dif ficult human and legal prob lem. But he has no doubt that the President would never approve any across-the-board aid for non -public schools. This is no authorized prediction; but I would bet on it. Thus those liberal Demo crats who are challenging the President here - like Senators Clark of Pennsylvania and Philip Hart of Michigan - are taking a grave step indeed.
