COUP. HSI3PAPBR 8BCII0M 1b The- Day's lews By FRANK JENIUNS We listened this morning to a grim young President whose first State of the Union message sound ed much more like Winston Chur chill's immortal "blood, sweat and tears" speech than the nor mal first policy message of a President whose party has just returned to power. We heard him confess that he has been STAGGERED in the ten days since his inauguration by the "harsh enormity of the trials through which we must pass in the next four years." We heard him say: "Each day we draw rearer the hour of maximum danger." ' We heard him add: "f speak today in an hour of national peril and national emer gency. Before my term is end ed, we shall have to test anew whether a nation governed and organized such as ours CAN EN DURE. The outcome is by no means certain. The answers are by no means clear." What must we do first: President Kennedy said this morning: "We must re-examine and revise our whole arsenal of tools for dealing with the threat to the free world We are moving into a period of uncer tain risk in which both the mili-; tary and diplomatic possibilities1 require a free world force SO POWERFUL AS TO MAKE ANY AGGRESSfON CLEARLY FU TILE." He proposed an immediate up- ping of the Polaris missile pro gram, strengthening of our whole missile program of all kinds, and an overhaul of our facilities for moving troops and equipment swiftly into any "brush war" type of trouble that may arise. That is to say: We must be ready to fight at the drop of a bat if we have to. He adds: "In the field of economic aid abroad, the problems are tower ing and unprecedented. The re sponse must be towering and un precedented as well much as lend lease in World War II and the Marshall Plan of the post war years were. - Which is to say: There must be MORE rather than less for eign aid. He indicated that the communist threat in Cuba must be met firmly. He added that there must be special aid for Latin-American countries. At a time when incoming Presi dents normally promise that great days and happy days lie ahead, with fewer problems and more satisfactions than ever before, President Kennedy chooses to tell us that these are grave days and that even graver days lie ahead that for the first time in our existence our nation and our way of life are threatened. He chooses to tell us that the easy days are PAST -and the HARD days lie ahead. Can he carry the people with him? Can he convince us that now is the time when we musti GIVE UP EASY LIVING, the! chase for the quick buck and all that goes with it and inspire us with his own conviction, as ex pressed in his message, that we must learn to live life the hard w ay in order to toughen our econ omy to the point where we will be able to resist a powerful ene my who is bent on our destruc tion and our enslavement? Let's hope he can for in that way lies, freedom. It is a powerful and striking mossage. It deals with all the things we didn't expect a new President to say, and with almost! none of the platitudes with which Incoming Presidents usually Choose to deal. It's worth reading.

President Gtes 'Hour &f Metien&l pent Chie f Orders Speedup in Nation's Defense WASHINGTON (AP) Of Pres ident Kennedy's three "prompt action" orders to the military to day, the one for speeding up Po laris missile submarine produc tion may be the easiest to carry out. Top naval officials believe that even with existing building facil ities, the rate of Polaris sub pro duction could be more than doubled. His Stale of the Union mes sage request for accelerating the whole ballistic missile program could present more dimculties. Delays occurred in building the launching sites for the missiles. His demand that duplication in the missile program be reduced could compel sharp changes production programs, elimination of some weapons and stepups in others. Kennedy said the system for speeding fighting men to any spot on the globe at a moment's notice to cope with threat of limited war requires more air-lift capac itywithout delay. If more long range transport planes are to be acquired quickly, they must be bought "off-the-shelf, he added. There wouldn't be time to design and build entirely new ones. The President ' wants equally swift action from the s'rategy makers. By the end of February a month from now he expects Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara to submit a prelimin- ary report on the precise state of the nation's defense strategy. This includes: "Our ability to fulfill our commitments the ef fectiveness, vulnerability and dis persal of our strategic bases, forces and warning systems the efficiency and economy of our op eration and organization the Resume Jo .timing LONDON WT -i - The Soviet Union resume-.! its jamming of Voice of Amer.ca (VOA) Russian- language br- idcasts today after a one-day rite, the British Broad- easting Corporation reported.

An article on Williams map ping project will be published in the February issue of American Journal of Science. elimination of obsolete bases and installations and the adequacy, modernization and mobility of our present conventional and nuclcarj forces and weapons systems in the light of present and future dangers." Almost every one of these top ics has at some time been a point of issue in inter-service argu ments. Kennedy took cognizance' of this. In the past, he said, the "lack of a consistent, coherent military strategy, the absence of basic as sumptions about our national re quirements and the .faulty es timates and duplication arising from inter-service rivalries have all made it difficult to assess ac curately how adequate or inade quateour defenses really are." The President's three-point weapon speed-up program can cause some unhappiness within the individual armed forces. In ordering that the Polaris pro gram be stepped up, Kennedy said that unobligated ship building funds would be used "to build and place on station, at least nine months earlier than planned, sub stantially more" Polaris missile firing submarines. This apparently means that money which the Navy had ex pected to use for building other types of ships destroyers, serv ice and support vessels will be turned into expediting the Polaris program. Fourteen Polaris submarines have been built or are building Money for 19, including -Jhose built or building, has been pro vided.

Ban Holds On Flier Interviews WASHINGTON (UPD The ban on public interviews with the re turned RB47 fliers will continue indefinitely as far as military of ficials know. The order is to be kept in ef fect even though preliminary questioning has shown that the fliers have nothing especially sur prising to say about the shooting down of their reconnaissance plane over the Barents Sea, or their imprisonment and subse quent release by the Russians. SANTA MARIA, the captive Portuguese liner, is shown here about 65 miles off Re cife, Brazil, where an American admiral awaits word on a request for a U.S. destroy er to take off the 588 captive passengers on the vessel, including the 42 Americans aboard. Destroyer Plans Rescue RECIFE, Brazil (AP) - An American admiral waited in this Brazilian port today for a U.S. destroyer to take him to the liner Santa Maria standing 63 miles offshore to arrange for re lease of her 588 captive passengers.- Rear Adm. Allen Smith Jr., U.S. commander in the Caribbe an, flew here from Bclem Sun day night to rendezvous with the Portuguese liner's rebel com mander, Henrique Galvao. The U.S. destroyer Gearing, heading here from Africa, was expected to pick up the admiral today or Tuesday. ........ Smith said he planned a ren dezvous about 35 miles off Recife but that he expected full instruc tions from Washington to be sent him aboard the Gearing. He said three other U.S. destroyers were en route here. Asked if he expects to transfer' all the passengers or only the 42 Americans aboard. Smith replied that this depended on the outcome of his talk witli Galvao. U.S. Navy planes spotted the Santa Maria at 7:30 p.m. Sunday cruising in apparently aimless patterns off Brazil's Atlantic1 coast. Galvao was under instructions from Gen. Humbcrto Delgado, exiled leader of the Portuguese National Liberation movement, to keep the.

The outgoing administration of, President Jusecelino Kubitschck decided Saturday to offer Galvao political asylum If he entered Brazilian waters, but to turn the Santa Maria back to her Portu guese owners, the Colonial Navi gation Co.

Gen. JoScph Mobutu was reported today to be pushing a military warmest w ealhcr in well over a drive against pro-Lumumba forces week Sunday. The mercury rose WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Kennedy challenged the So viet Union today to cut back the "bitter and wasteful competition of the cold war" by joining the United States in a vast new ven ture in space science to probe the secrets of the planets Mars and Venus. Even as he announced measures to bolster this nation's nuclear age military power against Com munist might, the President told Congress he "intends to explore promptly all possible areas of co operation with the Soviet Union and other nations 'to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors." " At the same time he warned the Soviet Union and Red China that the United States will continue to oppose the use of "aggression and subversion" in their drive for world domination. In place of a conflict of force he offered "open and peaceful competition" in commerce, science, politics and ideas. In a peaceful struggle between free dom and communism, he said, "1 would look to the future with ever increasing confidence" Thus in his State of the Union message, following up his inau guration address of 13 days ago, Kennedy held open to the Com munist powers a choice among three paths for the future: spread ing conflict, peaceful competition, or increasing cooperation. He did not display much hope that they would speedily choose the ways of peace or cooperation. He called this "an hour of na tional peril" and said he had been' staggered during his 10 days in the While House to learn "the harsh enormity of the trials through which we must pass in the next four years. "Our problems are critical," he declared. The tide is unfavor able. The news will be worse be fore it is better. And while hoping for the best, we should prepare ourselves for the worst. Kennedy implied new political and economic oflcnsivcs by the United Slates in Communist-con-twilling to join with the Soviet trolled Eastern Europe. He asked Union and the scientists of all Congress for greater flexibility nations in a greater effort to make the fruits of this new knowl edge available to all and, beyond that, in an effort to extend farm technology to hungry nations to -wipe out disease to increase ex changes of scientists and their knowledge and to make our ow n laboratories available to techni cians of other lands who lack the facilities to pursue their work. "Where nature makes allies of us all, we can demonstrate that beneficial relations are possible even with those with whom we most deeply disagree and this must someday be the basis of world peace and law." Kennedy's proposals for scien tific cooperation among the United Stales, the Soviet Union and other powers were the latest in a long series of such propositions to come out of Washington. Kennedy laid down no startling ly new foreign policy in his State of the Union message. His discus sion of foreign policy constituted rather an argument to Congress and the country for the need he sees for massive and costly ef forts to meet the Communist challenge. to use economic tools in this area, evidently meaning iorcign aid. And he said "we must never forget our hopes for the ultimate freedom and welfare of the East ern European peoples." But when he addressed the So viet Union directly Kennedy put his emphasis on the possibility of cooperation. 'Specifically," he said, "I now invite all nations including the Soviet Union to join with us in developing a weather prediction program, in a new communica tions satellite program, and in preparation for probing the dis tant planets of Mars and Venus, probes which may someday un lock the deepest secrets of the universe. Today this country is ahead in the science and technology of space," Kennedy said, "while the Soviet Union is ahead in the ca pacity to lift large vehicles into orbit. Both nations would heln themselves as well as other na tions by removing these endeavors from the bitter and wasteful com petition of the cold war.

The party was spread out over the fiisl floor of the White House, HAVANA (AP) - Six Americans accused of conspiring against Fi del Castro may learn their fate to day from a military tribunal that could deport, them, keep them in prison or send them to their: deaths. There was speculation the court, might emulate ' Soviet Premier Khrushchev's freeing . of two American liters last week as a gesture toward the new Kennedy administration. In a 2'i hour trial Saturday the! Americans claimed they had come to Havana in a stolen boat early in January, alter the United Stales broke diplomatic relations with Cuba, to help defend Castro's revolution. The prosecutor scoffed at the Americans' explanation and charged they were bringing aims to rebel guerrillas fighting Cas tro. He asked for death by firing squad. Although Castro has repeatedly called for the sternest treatment of those trying to overthrow him, defense attorney Luis Raul Fleitas cited the prime minister's less angry attitude toward the new U.S. administralion and Premier! Khrushchev's release of the two American reconnaissance fliers. Fleitas said these were samdes of "good faith" the court should follow. . The army court had a mece- dent for deporting the six men. Alan Robert Nyo an ex-Navy p. lot, was expelled aflcr a dealh sen tence against him was suspended in April 1959.
