By FRANK JENKINS
Tlie news today?
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.
We have fought the Japanese in
one war.
They are all NOW our friends
and allies.

with both sides noting progress
and a union spokesman calling it
a "major breakthrough."
Simpson offered the union a for

draw it up in contract form and
then call another meeting. Also,
agreement was reached on
changes in hours with the union

At tlie famous Brandenburg

for him to see communism close

point.

inei Michael Phillips, chairman o(
the San Francisco Young Repub

"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.
