Nuclear might would concentrate on pulverizing soviet nuclear might bobbed nuclear strength Russia would have to keep it mighty ground and other conventional forces in Check or risk total destruction. Thus the hoped for effect of a Swift and devastating strike at Russia s missile and bomber bases would be to Knock Russia out of the War sources familiar with Mcna Mara s thinking said this is his reasoning in the strategy which crystallized a speech the Secretary made last weekend at Ann Arbor Mich implicit in this strategy is conviction that . Strategic forces missiles missile firing Polaris submarines and bombers would retain enough Reserve strik ing Power to Lay russian strength in ruins even if the soviets should launch a massive Surprise attack first. However Mcnamara made it Plain in his speech that the United states would do so Only if driven to accordingly he said we arc giving a possible opponent the strongest imaginable incentive to refrain from striking our own As Mcnamara spelled it out the United states has come to the conclusion that so far As is feasible principal military objectives in event of a nuclear War should be destruction of the enemy s military forces not of his civilian at another Point in opposing France s Campaign for an inde pendent nuclear Force of its own the want school two thousand primary school graduates line up in Hon trying to got one of the 10 vacancies in a secondary school.

Washington up Uncle Sam s one time poor relations in West Europe have become his toughest and most prosperous competitors in world Trade and the Kennedy administration now is wrestling with the problem of How told eat with the situation. The economic relationship be tween the United states and West Ern Europe has undergone startling changes during the past decade. And the consequences reverberate not Only throughout the free world but behind the Iron curtain. Ten years ago the United states had just finished pumping about $13 billion into Western Europe in Marshall plan Aid to revive the War shattered Economy. Washing ton was urging West europeans to produce and Export More to build up their foreign Exchange holdings. Nobody except the United states had enough dollars. Today president Kennedy and his advisers struggle with an entirely different problem. They seek Means to Deal with Colos sus o f International Trade the thriving six nation european com Mon Market. The task is to find ways to halt the continuing and dangerous Drain of us Gold and Dollar reserves in the face of Ever stiffer Competition from the common Market whose six countries have merged their Trade policies and efforts behind a single Tariff Barrier against the rest of the world. The six Are prance West. Ger Many. Italy Belgium the nether lands and Luxembourg. Britain is negotiating for admission and expects to join later this year. This grouping with an Industrial might rivalling that of the United slates imports twice As much As does the United states. Hence it is in a formidable bargaining Posi Tion. Soviet Premier Nikita s. Khrushchev shares american Awe of the common Market s Power. Or. Ken Nedy seeks to cooperate with the Market. But the communists apparently intend to fight it. Khrushchev Calls it an unnatural group ing. The United states recently got its first taste of the kind of ceo French foreign legion leaving Home Algeria sror Bel Abbes Algeria up Trie Sand blown Battle flags of the famed foreign legion will be hauled Down All Over Algeria by july-4, when the moslem vote on Independence for Algeria. Informed sources say that by then a the legion s 17,000 remaining officers and men will have quit the territory which has been their Home. It came As a Shock to the ,25,000 europeans remaining in this Legen Dary foreign legion Home base town 46 Miles South of Oran. The legion formed in March 1831, set up its Headquarters in Sidi Bej Abbes in 1884.from the legion Barracks which flank the Dusty Highway running through the town 300 legionnaires have already left for Corsica. Inside other legionnaires were dismantling the museum of Battle relics collected from All Over the world and preparing them for ship ment to the new legion Headquarters near Marseilles in France. Nomic warfare which could develop unless the president gets additional Tariff cutting Powers to Deal with the changed state of affairs. The six nations voted to slap retaliatory Tariff on six . Industrial products because of re cent american increases in the duties on carpets and plate Glass duties which particularly affected common Market member , which previously would have had to fight its Battle alone brought to Bear the entire Power of the common Market to punish the United states. Will get some or. Kennedy said that this sort of development was what makes i urgently necessary for Congress to approve his proposed foreign Trade expansion act. The House will be Gin debate on the measure late this month. Whether the president will get All its provisions intact is doubtful. He will get some of them however. The new Trade act would give or. Kennedy authority to reduce All us. Tariffs by 50 per cent and eventually eliminate duties on Industrial products where the United states and the common Market countries together account for 80 per cent or More of the entire world Trade. In addition it would permit Federal compensation for industries damaged by foreign Competition and also workers thrown out of jobs on this score. Eventual goal the common Market formed at Rome in 1958. Plans by 1968 to have eliminated All tariffs among its members. It already has Cut All of them by 50 per cent. The entire Market will be protected against undue Competition from outside by a single Tariff Wall around the entire grouping. A a West German or British industrialist or exporter will sell in France or any of the other common Market countries without paying any duty while the american or other outsider will have to pay the duty prescribed for the entire area. Or. Kennedy believes that armed with the Tariff cutting Powers he can bargain Down this Barrier by offering concessions in the . Market in return for lower duties against american products in the european Market. Mcnamara stressed the of Moi of a centrally controlled Campaign against All of the enemy s nuclear capabilities Mcnamara s statements questions As to whether the unite states planned to avoid hitting a russian War production complexes which Are centers of population. It was when this Point was eff pored that sources close to Mcnamara explained the under Jiing nuclear is. Nuclear concept which hopefully would brine it Swift end to a War and make Una necessary the destruction of War production centers. Most of Russia s missile ant bomber bases Are believed located away from its cities and thus oof be destroyed without massive to of civilian lives. Although officials with not discus it there Are indications the United states knows the location of thes bases and that it has found ways to gather such intelligence even though it no longer operates u2 spy planes Over soviet soil some observers were puzzled by Mcnamara s statement that Fathe extent feasible Basic military strategy in a possible general nuclear War should be approach Din much the same Way that More conventional military operations have been regarded in the civilian casualties it was recalled that in world War 11the last general conventional War Allied bombers Ham mered at such targets As nazi Germany steel Mills in the Ruhr and in the process kitted thousands of German civilians. Thus Mcnamara seemed to a contradicting himself in talking about sparing cities.
