which the two nations are at

Propaganda Value
Such assurance were in the
pattern of Khrushchev's co

greater propaganda than prac
tical value.
Last week three Important
meetings took place.
In a country dacha outside

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

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.

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.

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

Premier Fidel Castro set fire ion against federal aid to non-

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

bought by blood-stained Yan

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.

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.

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.

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.

Staying at a Heathman Hoiel in Portland now make
more sense than ever . . . That's because Heathman
rates now start at just $5 plus "bonus" Free covered
parking in Hcathman's own garage! . . . Add this to all
the attractions for which Heathman is known: Central
location, wide range of choice accommodations, three
famed restaurants, including the exotic Aloha room.
Now, more than ever before, staying at home-owned,
home-managed Heathman Hotels is good business

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. In
