It is perhaps the strangest news since me world began. Jn GERMAN cities, the Presi. dent of (lie United States is cet- ting the most wildly enthusiastic reception ever given in Europe 10 me nead ot a foreign state. It is CERTAIN that he is re ceiving me warmest reception eve.- given in Europe by a con querod people to the leader of their conquerors. In Bonn, the capital of the West German Republic, the Germans turned out in droves to greet him witli w ildly enthusiastic cheers. In Frankfurt, the dispatches tell us, he was literally engulfed in a human sea. Before making his speech, he walked into the crowd and shook hands with some of the people. At times, he literally disappeared from view. Then his head would reappear, turning trom side to side as the German crowd wildly chanted his name. In West Berlin this morning he was almost deified. He tells the West Berliner in German: "Ich bin ein Berliner" II am a Berliner) and they go literally wild with enthusiasm. Why is the President of the United States in Germany? Why in particular is he in Western Germany? Well, he is there because of the seeming madness of a strange and mystic Frenchman Charles De Gaulle. President of France. France's president has seen fit lo oast doubt upon the integrity of America's leadership in West ern Europe and the PERMAN ENCE of American assistance in resisting the spread of COMMU NISM throughout Europe. President Kennedy is there to reassure the people of free West ern Europe that we will NOT leave them to stew in the corro sive juice of communism. He is there to tell them that to pre vent such a catastrophe we will risk the nuclear destruction of our own country. That's about the long and the short of it. What of De Gaulle? He is a strange and mystic character. From time to time. France produces such characters. There w as Napoleon, for instance. De Gaulle is a soldier. He knows the importance of the an cient maxim: DIVIDE AND CONQUER- If you can get your ene mas divided, you can conquer them. He knows that if commu nism can divide tlie Free World, rt will have a good chance to conquer the Free World. Vet he is doing what he is doing. There are many strange things in this world. For example: We have fought the Germans mi LONDON 'UP!' U.S. Secre tun wars tary of State Dean Rusk will ar We have loudit tlie British in! two wars. We have fought the Spanish in one war.

A meeting Tuesday between the Grand Jury Action Set For Slayer JACKSON. Miss, i UP! - For i mer Marine Byron De La Beck with was held w ithout bond today for grand jury action on a charge that 'he was the ambush slayer of Negro leader Medgar Evers. Municipal Judge James L. Spencer ordered Beckwith held Tuesday after a two-hour hearing at which the slender fertilizer salesman pleaded innocent to thel murder charge. "There is no doubt that the evi dence presented in this prclimi nary neanng should be presented to the grand jury," Spencer said "We do not decide the guilt or innocence at this preliminary hearing ... It is my opinion that the defendant should be bound over without bail.'? The grand jury is scheduled to meet Monday, and Dist. Attv William Waller has said he will present the evidence to the panel at that (me. If Beckwith is in dicted. Waller said, he would seek the death penalty. I submit we came very, very close to proving this man guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," Wal ler told Spencer. Defense attorney Hugh Cun ningham argued, however, that the evidence was all circumstan tial and faded to "incriminate this defendant of any wrong doing."

Kennedy said to day that if Congress insisted the administration would go along with modifications in the thorny public accommodations section of the President's civil rights pro gram. But he made clear that he did not want to exempt smaller es tablishments because "what is in volved is a matter of discrimi nation." The aim is to make sure no one is denied access to pub lic facilities because of race. Kennedy was questioned hy Chairman Emanuel teller, D N Y., as he appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to oien the battle for his brother's seven-point program.

Hatfield made tlie announce ment just before leaving lor Cali fornia to speak to the Young Re publican Convention in San Fran cisco. Hatfield said. "A lcgislaturCm that fails to provide a linal budget and revenue program until a lew hours before adjournment leaves the executive with virtually no al ternative as to approval or dis approval of its actions." The bill, lie said, "compounds tlie inequities of the present im pact of taxes on our citizens." But. the governor said, he was not convinced that reassembling the legislature would result in any improvement. "Indeed." he said, "the result could be worse." A special session could result if the measure is referred to voters and beaten by them. Albany weekly newspaper editor J. rran- cyl Howard has announced plans lo lead a relerral movement.

Soviet Pre mier N'ikita Khrushchev is due In East Berlin Friday. BERLIN (UPII - President Kennedy peered across tlie wall into the East German stronghold of communism today and told cheering West Berliners that the winds of change are blowing across the lion Curtain." The President got his first! close-up look at tlie Communist: world when he visited tlie Bran denburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie on the Berlin wall the Communists built two years ago! to halt the flow of refugees to! the West. After his sober gaze at the hadowy world of East Berlin. the President went on to tell - ilrllv enthusiastic West Berliners in a speech that he was proud lo stand with them on the ram parts of freedom, declaring in German: "I am a Berliner." The acclaim from a million Berliners in his eight-hour tour of this divided city 110 miles deep inside Communist territory was overwhelming in its size, its ob vious spontaneity and its emo tional impact.

" His statements brought tre mendous roars of approval from the crowd. Alain Speech Then, he went on Hie free Uni versity of Berlin for his main speech of the day, where he noted that not even the Commu nist world can remain static. Kennedy said "winds of change are blowing across the Iron Cur lain as well as in the rest of the world" and "the people of East ern Europe even after 18 years of oppression are not immune to! change. Declaring that "truth never dies." the President said, the people of the Soviet Union, even after 45 years of party dictator ship, feel the forces of historic evolution." "The harsh precepts of Stalin ism are officially recognized and bankrupt," Kennedy said. "Eco nomic and political variations and dissent are appearing, for ex- "4W"k'' '- 'ni ' J"'''5 ample, in Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union itself." At tlie famous Brandenburg Gate between East and West Ber lin Kennedy went atop a special platform that made it possible for him to see communism close up for the first time. Because the Communists had hung long, wide banners close to the opening of the gate, the Pres ident's view was limited at this point. I cannot see very much." he said on descending from the plat form. A few minutes later he strode up to within two or three yards of the boundary line of the di vided city at Checkpoint Charlie, the only crossing point for Amer icans into East Germany. He did not cross tlie line, but he again stepped up on another special platform to look into East Ber lin. On the eastern side of the bor der control post East German soldiers holding submachine guns stood impassively. Some watched him through field glasses.

He will I SDCak Thursday night. inei Michael Phillips, chairman o( the San Francisco Young Repub licans, who organized the conven tion, predicted there would be "minor riots" if New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller were to ap pear. The demonstrations, Phillips said, would have been sparked by the uftra-conservative group led by Robert Gaston of Los Angeles, which seized control of the host stale organization last February. Local leaders said Rockefeller was warned privately that his ap pearance here might cause na tionally publicized incidents (hat would embarrass him. The four-day gathering opened officially Tuesday, but the day's events were dominated by the registering of the more than 1,000 delegates in attendance. Len Nadasdy. the national chair-: man from Minneapolis. Minn., es-; tlmated that at least 75 per cent of the delegates favored Gold water as the GOP standard bearer. Goldwater admirers paraded through the Sheraton-Palace hotel lobby and corridors in numerous impromptu rallies. Delegates said it was dillieult to lirxi anyone willing to state any other presi dential preference. The convention is forbidden in its bylaws to endorse a candi date for the presidential prima ries. But many delegates said they hoped the convention could follow the lead of the California Young Republican executive Board, which last week passed a resolution urging Goldwater to run. 1 I
