Rusk, Kennedy Hope To
Early Summit Until U. S. Buildup
By JOHN M. IIIGIITOWER
Associated Press
Diplomatic Affairs Reporter
WASHINGTON (API - Presi
dent-elect John F. Kennedy in.
tends to build up United States
military power and devise new
strategy to wrest the cold war
initiative from the Soviet union,
in his first months in office,
Until he has these projects well
advanced, Kennedy and the sec
retary of state-designate, Dean
Rusk, hope to postpone pressures
for a summit conference with So
viet Premier Khrushchev. Early
summit meetings with allied lead'
ers appear inescapable; both
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
of Britain and West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer an
xiously desire to talk with the new
chief executive.
Even a meeting with Khrush
chev in the first six months may
not be avoidable because the So
viet leader can set off a new
Berlin crisis any time he wishes.
New action promised by Ken
nedy in live global struggle with
communism ranges from increas
ing aid for Latin America, Africa
and Asia to robuilding the North
Atlantic alliance, opening new
channels of contact with Red
China, and developing a "new ap
proach, to the Soviet Union.
In connection with the Soviets,
Kennedy said during the cam
paign that one thing Red leaders
understand is power, and that his
first concern as president would
be to enhance America's armed
strength in both nuclear and con
ventional weapons. .
Kennedy's broad commitment
on taking office Jan. 20 is to "get
America moving again" and to
restore its "prestige. He says de
terminations on how best to work
toward these goals Is the over
riding task of the new adminis'
tration.
Strantz Tells
In Irrigation
Maurice K. Strantz, manager of,
the Tulclake Irrigation' District,
announced that some changes
would be effected in the irrigat
ing procedure in the public land
areas in the coming year. Strand
emphasized the importance for all
bidders to be aware of the change
in plans before bidding
Stranlt stated that irrigation to) indicated that In all like
the Hcnzcl Strip would be han
dled in a conventional manner
with the farmers receiving water
for each unit at the unit head
gate and the farmers responsible
for irrigating the unit themselves.
The flooding procedure that has
been used in the past will not
be followed in the 1961 irrigation
season, This area should be Irri
gated in small checks to protect
the construction now in progress,
Water in tho Hcnzcl Strip will
generally not be available until
sometime after March I, 1961
Strantz outlined that while field
dikes have been put up in most
instances, that in some units
farmers would be obligated to
complete the field dikes, construct
internal checks and head ditches
and K they plan to spill water
into Hi dorin re piwwle for
Hie nsitid pipe spills,
Strantz mentioned that in the
Southwest Sump, the northern por
tion of this area which was now
furnished with Irrigation facilities
would also not be flooded. The
southern portion vvould be flood
ed by the district and Ihe wa
ter drawn off in advance of spring

That will require long-ianRC
planning, loo. One of Kennedy's
first decisions must be on the di
vision of hi! time between the
grand design of his foreign policy
and the challenges and crises he
must handle from day to day
. Already, in fact, critical prob
lems are piling up for speedy
action.
Foremost among these are:
I. Negotiations with the Soviet
Union on a treaty banning nuclear
weapons tests. Kennedy is on rec
ord as favoring "one more" big
attempt to reach agreement. But
as president he will be subjected
to very heavy pressures from the
Atomic Energy Commission ana
defense department to end the 26-month-old
moratorium on U.S.
weapons testing and resume un
derground explosions quickly. 1
2. The dollar crisis. Kennedy Is
reported convinced thai he must
take steps promptly to strengthen
the American dollar as an inter
national cuirency, Which means!
cutting this country's loss of gold
and dollars. Measures taken by,
the Eisenhower administration
should become effective this year,
but other action will be required
to control the 4-billion annual
balance of payments deficit,
3. The crisis in Laos, state de
partment experts consider the
conflict between pro-Wostern and
pro-Communist forces In the lllllc
Southeast Asian kingdom cnpublu
of expansion into a larger war
involving Western forces and the
Chinese Communists.
4. The Cuban crisis. Behind the
scenes more is more ouiciai
alarm than has appeared publicly
about the danger and damage to
the U.S. world position from the
buildup of Communist Influence in
Cuba. President Eisenhower ap
plied economic sanctions and sev.

5. The Berlin dispute. This was
the immediate cause of the abor
tive I960 summit at Paris, and
could develop mlo a new crisis
at any time. U S. officials believe,
however, that Khrushchev will
stay his hand until Kennedy has
an opportunity to take over the
reins in Washington. Khrushchev
evidently does want to meet the
youthful new American leader,
and undoubtedly knows that he
would frustrate his own purpose
if he mistimed his Berlin moves
However, it is also true that an
extremely serious Berlin situation
might force Kennedy to move to
ward a summit conference just as
Eisenhower felt forced to do.
Kennedy's chief concern about
rushing into meetings with West
ern leaders is that he needs time
to get his cabinet and other top
advisers organized, and to make
an initial policy review. Apart
from. the Adenauer and Macmillan
deslrej to meet him. it has been
suggested that a NATO meeting
at Oslo, Norway, in May should
he converted into a Western sum
mit session. Otherwise, it will be
a foreign ministers meeting. Rusk
also must got ready for U.S. rep
resentation in scheduled CENTO
(Middle East) SEATO (Southeast
Asia) and inter-American alliance
meetings within the first six
months of this year.
The NATO meeting will be of
great importance. U.S.' allies ex
pect to find out there whether
Kennedy will go forward with a
plan advanced by tho Elsenhower
administration for giving NATO
Its own. seaborne nuclear rocket
force. While neither Kennedy nor1
any spokesman is known to have
made any actual commitment, he
is expected to support the 'prelim,
inary position taken by the out
going administration.
How Kennedy handles each of
these meetings and deals initiallv
with each of the critical problem,
win nave a decisive influence on
the world's reaction to his leader-
nip aDiiny. one of the most
sinking facts about world reaction
to Kennedy's election has been the
evidence in editorial comment in
foreign capitals that his promise
lo provide dynamic leadership for
the United States and the Free
Now, the leaders and the peoples
in scores oi countries are waiting
for him to sho v what he can do.
