! The

Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
Big question in the news:
Did British Royal Air Force jet
bombers slip through our de
fenses, including our Far North
radar screen, UNDETECTED,
and make a mock attack on our
cities?
A reliable British newspaper,
the London Express, says they
did, and it adds that it pub
lished the story yesterday after re
ceiving firm confirmation from
the British Air ministry.
The Express reporter la Keith
Thompson! has rejected denials
by the British Air Ministry in
London and the Pentagon in
Washington. He adds: "The fact
is that the V I British) bombers
have penetrated U.S. defenses
-and RECENTLY."
This contradicts a statement by
a Pentagon spokesman who says
NO British bombers have partici
pated in U.S. defense exercises
since 1061. The Pentagon spokes
man says the Express report and
similar reports in other British
newspapers are without founda
tion. The London paper's defense ex
pert says the denials followed
the "standard pattern of U.S.
pressure being applied to save
tee in Washington and to 'save
laces' in Whitehall (the British
Pentagon.)"
What really did happen?
Did bombers come through our
radar screen, undetected, and
fly .over American cities where
they COULD have dropped nucle
ar bombs if they had been so
minded?
Presumably the facts will come
out in the course of time.
From Washington:
U.S.-Sovict talks on Cuba are
ending with no final agreement,
though there are believed to be
16.000 to 17.000 Russian soldiers
still on the island. . . . For this
and other reasons, a State De
partment representative told the
Organization of American Stales,
the communist beachhead in the
Caribbean REMAINS A THREAT.
And, the U.S. spokesman added,
the problem is one that must
be tackled jointly by the Ameri
can republics.
Adlai Stevenson. U.S. ambassa
dor to the United Nations and di
rector of the U.S. negotiations,
gave a closed OAS meeting the
SOMBER news that the talks are
being terminated with no agree
ment about the troops 'meaning
the Russian troops remaining in
Cuba) and o two other remaining
questions.
What arc we and the Russians
still dickering about?
This appears to be the nub of it:
1. We are trying to gel ON
THE GROUND verification that
all nuclear missiles and other of
fensive weapons have been re
moved from Cuba.
2. The Russians are trying lo
obtain from us a pledge that
there w ill be no invasion of Cuba
to overthrow the communist dic
tatorship of Fidel Castro.
The important point seems lo
he thai Ihe Cuban situation
ISN'T all ironed out.

Victory For Kennedy

WASHINGTON (UPIl Demo
cratic leaders in Congress put to
gether today what looked like a
winning combination for Wednes
day's opening-day struggle with
conservatives for control of the
House legislative machinery.
Liberal members were relieved
that the latest hcadcount pointed
clearly lo an administration vic
tory in President Kennedy s first

were concerned at evidence that

Compromise
UNITED NATION'S, N Y. IUPI)
The United States and Russia,
over Cuban opposition, Monday
night reached a compromise set

brought the world to the brink
of nuclear war less than three!
months ago.
The settlement did not satisfy
the U.S. demand for "adequate

and guarantees against their re-!
turn. Nor did it bring a pledge
from President Kennedy as de
manded by Russia and Cuba
against invasions of Cuba.
Premier Fidel Castro's govern
ment disagreed with the compro
mise worked out by the two big
powers without Cuban participa
tion. It insisted on acceptance of

milted in a joint statement to
Secretary General Thant. The
statement culminated weeks of
negotiations between U.S. Am
bassador Adlai E. Stevenson and
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Vasily V. Kuznctsov and their
aides.
Since the questions of inspec
tions and a "no invasion pledge"
were the essence of the dispute,
the joint statement, in effect,
was an agreement to disagree.
The accord brought Soviet
agreement to the U.S. sland thatl
no further Security Council ac
tion is necessary now. The Unit
ed States was concerned that a
council meeting would lead to a
new propaganda debate.
The major agreements reached
by tlie United States and Russia
were the removal of Soviet mis

ers have penetrated U.S. de
fenses, and recently," Thompson
insisted.
Contradicts Pentagon
This contradicted a statement
by a Pentagon spokesman who
said no British bombers had par
ticipated in U.S. delense exer
cises since 1961. He said the Ex
press report and similar reports
in other British newspapers wore
without foundation. j
Several other British morning
newspapers including the Times,
Ihe Mirror and the Mail pub
lished factual accounts of the re
ports and the denials today.
Thompson said officials in Lon
don and Washington spent all day
Monday consulting about his
story.
What started as a firm con
firmalion from the Air Ministry
ended up as flat denials on both
sides of the Atlantic, with the
Air Ministry telling me 'the lines
got crossed'," Thompson said.
Expert Commrnts
Chapman Pincher, defense ex
pert for tlie Express, said in a
commentary the denials followed
"the standard pattern of U. S.
pressure being applied to save
face in Washington and laces in
Whitehall."
"The Whitehall departments al
most always conform because of
near pathological (car o( oflend-
ing Washington and a compulsive
desire to give into the hidden
persuaders in the Pentagon,"
Pincher said.
In an editorial, the Express
said its story had raised funda
mental issues on the power and
effectiveness of Britain's nuclear
(orce and "Ihe vulnerability of
her greatest ally."

this point had a bearing on the

both the Stale Board of Higher

'In urging that this request not

Purvine also said, "We are
