In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Reuters, the big British news service whose dispatches are used by many of America's large news papers, carries an interesting description of what it calls the White House "state coach" which, it says, served as an eye- opener for the huge crowds dur ing President Kennedy's tour of Western Europe. The dispatch adds: "The bullet-proof blue car, with its dozens of extra features, v.as flown by cargo plane across the Atlantic to Germany, Ireland, Britain and Italy. Wherever the President went, it was always there, waiting on the airport apron, to be used by the Presi dent whenever he chose." The Reuters dispatch continues: "Although other U.S. Presidents have taken their cars abroad, President Kennedy's limousine undoubtedly outranks its prede cessors for extra features and gadgets. It has detachable roofs of transparent plastic, metal and canvas for use in any type of weather. Nine roof combinations can be fitted. "The car has such useful ac cessories as radio, emergency lights, fire extinguisher, guns and ammunition clips. Among i t s unique features are two-way ra dio telephones to help link the President with U.S. command posts throughout the world in case of an emergency." ?????????? Well, of all the catastrophes that could happen at this dis turbed hour lin world history, the worst would be to have our President assassinated while on a good will tour of the older world. So, from any common sense standpoint, it must be con ceded instantly that w hatever pre cautions may be taken to prevent such a world catastrophe are fully warranted. But this was a peculiar trip. Its chief purpose was to build good will for the United States. It was designed to show our friendliness for all of Europe. So Let's do some supposing. Suppose a guest came to visit you. Perhaps an Easterner, fear ful of the wild and woolly West. Kunnnsp vour euest broutzht along and WORE, whenever he left the sanrtnai-v of vour house to EO through the streets, let us say, to the home of one of your friends ' for a party a suit of bullet-proof armor. Suppose he wore it openly. In (hat event, what would hap pen to good will toward him in your town? One tears tnal it might go glimmering. Let's absolve our President from any complicity in this ar mored car (fitted up somewhat like a military tank! deal. His courage has been proved. He proved it in the fires of war. Not only was he willing to risk his life in battle for his country He was willing to risk it to save the life of one of his men. His courage needs no defense.

The attack, the latest in a se ries of bitter exchanges, was re leased in the Tuesday edition oi the Communist party newspaper Pravda a few hours after Belgian Foreign Minister Paul - Henri Spaak reported that Premier Ni kita S. Khrushchev is anxious to ease relations with the West. The two developments were further evidence that the Sino- Soviet negotiations are not likely to close the political and ideologi cal split that has grown between the two giants of the Communist camp. The negotiating teams have been meeting in secret, and no information on their talks has been made public. The Soviet press has all but ignored the meetings. Still another factor clouding the atmosphere was the defiance of the Kremlin by Chinese students in Moscow, Kiev and Leningrad in distributing anti-Soviet lilera ture. The Soviet government last week expelled three Red Chinese diplomats and two students for distributing a long statement de nouncing the Kremlin's position in the dispute. Monday the five ousted Chinese were given solid support at a mass rally in Pek ing. The new Soviet attack published in Pravda today condemned the Peking rally as an effort to shat ter Sino-Soviet friendship and ag gravate the current negotiations in Moscow. "The impression is created that a deliberate campaign is being carried on to aggravate seriously the Soviet-Chinese relations, dis regarding the dangerous conse quences of this policy," the Prav da statement said. Spaak, former secretary gener al of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and a cham pion of West European unity, re turned to Moscow Monday night after conferring with Khrushchev in Kiev on East-West problems. New Cuba Deal Seen WASHINGTON (UPl'-A new crackdown on financial transac tions witlr Cuba is expected to make it difficult for Cuba to deal in dollars anywhere in the world, U.S. officials said today. The new regulations block more than $30 million in Cuban assets in U.S. banks, prohibit unlicensed transfer of dollars to or from Cuba, and bar unlicensed trans actions with Cuba or Cuban na tionals or transactions involving Cuban property. In effect, the order bars Cuba from use of the U.S. banking system, for example, in transmit ting funds for purposes of sub version elsewhere in Latin Amer ica.

The charge was made by Sen. Strom Thurmond D-S.C, as the Senate Commerce Committee questioned -for the second day Burke Marshall, assistant attor ney general in charge of civil rights.

Telephone Mi $ WASHINGTON (UPD-ln an extraordinary move, President Kennedy today called on the na tion's disputing railroads and un ions to let Supreme Court Justice Arthur J. Goldberg arbitrate their long dispute over "featherbed ding." The railroads indicated they would go along with the proposal, as they have with previous gov ernment suggestions for heading off a strike threatened for 12:01 m. EDT Thursday. The live un ions involved said they would give it "every consideration" but implied they were opposed. The unions have rejected a earlier proposals that arbitration be invoked to settle the long, drawn-out dispute over elimina tion of what the railroads claim are unnecded jobs, The President proposed that Goldberg, a former labor secre tary and one-time union attorney, be authorized to decide all issues in the complex dispute and make bindmg recommendations for set tlement, according to J.
