Rusk Due for Headaches on Fence-Men
ding
Swing
in fcurope
Paris - il'Pli - Secretary o
State Dean Rusk will run into
a lot of headaches and little to
cheer him on his fence-mend
ing swing through
this week.
He will find some of Amer
ica's allies - particularly
French President Charles de
Gaulle and West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
- bucking violently against
United States leadership.
Whether he can patch up
or paste over-the chinks in
the Western Alliance in the
Europe I nine days he has allotted him
self is questionaoie.
Rusk was to arrive in Paris
today, fly to West Berlin
Thursday and then on to
Bonn. Rome, London and Lis
bon. He is due back in Wash
ington June 28.
The reason for his trip still
is a little uncertain to Euro
pean diplomats.
They point out that he saw
the other western foreign min
isters at the NATO Council
session in Athens only six
weeks ago.

Target of GAO Over

Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington (Special) - The
lore of the West - of tough
guys and bad women - will be
inco m p 1 e t e
without this
latest tale
little time for serious discus
sions. There have been sugges
tions that this may be an ad
vance scouting trip in prepar
ation for a possible Western
summit meeting or even one
between President Kennedy
and Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev later this year.
But there is nothing official
to confirm this.
From the time he lands in
Paris today until he leaves
Thursday noon. Rusk will find
little to boost his spirits.
De Gaulle, whom he will
see during his stay, is in a
tough, prickly mood.
The French leader resents
bitterly the fact that the Unit
ed State refuses to share nu
clear secrets. He will not ask
for them, but he thinks the
United States should offer to
share them, and the issue
rankles with him.
Opposition Resented
Equally, De Gaulle resents
American opposition to his
plans to raise an independent
French nuclear striking force.
He is still boycotting any
talks with the Soviets on Ber
lin and disarmament.
Rusk also will find De
Gaulle calling for revamping
of NATO to give its European
members a bigger say, dead
locked with his continental
neighbors over the question of
a politically united Europe,
and more than cool to British
entry into the six-nation Euro
pean Common Market, which
Kennedy supports.
He also will find De Gaulle
nursing grandiose plans for
building a powerful Western
Europe under French and
German - but particularly
French-leadership, that would
constitute a "third force" to
be reckoned with alongside
the United States and the So
viet Union.
Reassurance Due
Besides meeting with De
Gaulle, Rusk also will confer
with Foreign Minister Maur
ice Couve de Murville, appear
before the NATO Council and
meet with NATO Secretary
General Dirk U. Strikker of
the Netherlands. j
From Paris Rusk will fly
direct to Berlin Thursday for i
h fleeting stopover that will
aUow little time for anything
but a quick visit to "the wall ' j
and a reassurance to the West j
Berlincrs that the United
State has not forgotten them. S
The West Berlin visit was
not included in Rusk s oris
inal program. It was added as
an afterthought only on the
Bonn, where he will find the , United State and Britain,

warming than in Paris. ' or source of disagreement.

Smith having allow
ed a brothel to operate for
about five years within Us
jurisdiction. And at the risk
of tarnishing the clean cut,
scoutmaster image of the gov
ernment's forest rangers, the
General Accounting Office
has identified the hapless
bureau as the United States
Forest Service.
The house of prostitution
operated in scenic Tonto Na
tional Forest in Arizona until
the lawmen one day galloped
up and stamped out sin and
degradation amidst the flora..
As befits the legends of the
Old West, this adventure took
place on the Granite Top lode
mining claim.
The GAO investigative re
port states, with no mischief
intended, that in 1951 the For
est Service issued "a special
use permit for residence pur
poses" and pretty soon there
after the "miner" was In busi
ness.
The GAO doesn't say
whether the foresters looked
the other way or listed the
place as a new outdoor recre
ation area, or whether they
just weren't certain how far J
to carry their multiple - use
with a new ! poney tor ine national inrests.

Permit Cancelled
In any event, in 1054 the
local foresters cancelled the
special-use permit and notified
the "miner" to "remove the
improvements on the proper
ty." In the tradition of the
West, the master of his domi
cile took a "says who?" atti
tude. A bureaucratic crisis en
sued. The local foresters
sought instructions from head
quarters. The assistant region
al forester ruled that Tonto
National Forest personnel
lacked authority to run the
girls off the place and tear
down the joint. The solution
was obvious: start a mineral
examination of the mining
claim, just like it says in. the
book.
The "miner" may have
struck paydirt, but if the For
est Service could show that it
came not from authentic
mining operations, righteous
ness might yet triumph over
evil. Doing no violence to the
Forest Service reputation for
thorough attention to the task
at hand, a regional attorney
for the Department of Agri
culture advised the Justice de
partment nearly a year later
that the big decision was still
in the works.
By this time " J. Edgar
Hoover's G-men had entered
the case and secured "evidence
to prove that the brothel was
still in operation," the GAO
reports. In August, 1959, the
case reached the assistant gen
eral counsel for the Depart
ment of Agriculture, whose
legal responsibility includes
examining such things as mar
keting orders for turkeys and
prunes but seldom the illicit
marketing of chicks and .old
hens.
I Beginning of End
A policy decision was taken
at this high level that "the
Forest Service could abate the
nuisance without proving that
the mining claim was invalid."
This momentous legal break
through was the beginning of
the end of wickedness In Ton
to forest - but not too quickly,
needless to say, says the GAO.
In due time, over a year later,
a complaint was filed in fed
eral court against the "miner"
on grounds that the "mining
claim was being used for pur
poses contrary to the mining
laws of the U.S."
A year later - five years
after this enterprising "miner"
got started - the court issued
Proposal Pondered
In Shipping Dispute
San Francisco - (UPti .- The
executive committee of the
Pacific Maritime Association
today considered a proposal to
avert a resumption of the
West Coast shipping strike.
Terms of the proposal were
not disclosed. It was made by
Harvard Prof. James J. Healy,
envoy of President Kennedy,
prior to his return to Wash
ington Sunday nignt.
Healy planned to contact
the PMA today for an answer
and presumably will report
immediately to Kennedy, who
has urged the PMA and three
unions to settle their differ
ences before a Taft-Hartley
injunction ends June 30.
The three unions - seamen,
firemen, and cooks and ste
wards - have lowered their
demands from a three -year
package raise of 24 per cent
to about 14 per cent.
The PMA offered to settle
for 11.8 per cent and then
make a final proposal to arbi
trate all issues in the dispute.
an injunction closing down his
profitable venture.
The moral of this tale ap
pears to be that even in Barry
Goldwater's home state, the
free enterprising fancies of the
old frontier are not safe from
the relentless, if hapless,
march of the bureaucratic do-gooders.
