By Reiman Morin
W ASH INC TON i/P — During the
iunlnvnre between President Ken
nedy and Nikita Khrushchev in
; V’enna last vear. the Soviet Pre
: micr suddenly mated out:
"If you want war over Berlin,
; you'll :>/ 1 war.'’
; History dees not record a more
I blunt, bull-dozing threat thrown
, at one head of state by another.
Khrushchev's design may have
j been to shock Kennedy off-bal
j ance. The Prescient renlied:
“It looks like a cold winter"
The two men. having measured
! each other, went their separate
j ways.
Kennedy held firm on Berlin.
| Khrushchev set no new deadlines
| for signing a treaty with East Ger
i many. lie told a delegation of
; American newspaper editors last
| July IM he still intends to sign
j such a treaty, but he said:
“When shall we do it? I will
not set any time limit.”
Some observers consider this a
plus on the administration’s eredit
and-debit ledger for foreign affairs.
For the1 moment, it may be.
But Kennedy, who says "Berlin
is our iiig interest," does not ex
pect Khrushchev to remain quiet
indefinitely about this problem. No
new formula for solving it is in
sight. So Berlin is an X-factor, an
uncertain quantity, in the foreign
equation.
What arc the plusses and
I minuses? Few developments in
foreign affairs fit completely into
this clear-cut definition.
Cuba, to be sure, was a disaster
for the administration.
The B : in Wa’l was a shocker.
At home and abroad, people asked
why the Western Allies were not
prepared for such a contingency.
Some Americans criticize Kennedy

No formulas have been t >und
for an agreement to disarm oi to
stop nuclear ti ts. When Kennedy
decided the United States must
resume nuclear testing, picket
lines formed in front of the White
Mouse in protest.
On the other hand, developments
in Southeast Asia appear to war
rant at least some cautious opti
mism.
An agreement was hammered
out for a tripod coalition govern
ment in Laos. The question is
whether it will hold.
Before this agreement, Kennedy
ordered American forces, including
nearly 3,000 Marines, to Thailand
to forestall a Communist guerrilla
move out of Laos. The Marines
were withdrawn as the tension
lessened.
Meanwhile, the administration
says American military power—
the vital factor behind foreign
oolicy — is being beefed up stead
ily. In May, Secretary of Defense
McNamara reported some of the
details of the buildup to the White
Mouse conference on national econ
omic issues. Among other things,
he listed:
1. A 50 per cent increase from
19 to 29 submarines in the Polaris !
force scheduled for deployment in
late 1904 or soon after.
3. A similar increase in 1tm por
tion of the strategic bomber force
to be maintained on 15-min'ute
v,round alert.
3. A “significant in Tease" in the
number of land -1 >;i ; Minutem.an '
missiles, and doublin of die pro
duction capacity.
4. "An accelerated program to
develop an effective, protected
command and control system so
that at all times, before, during
and after an enemy attack, the
constituted authorities, from the
President on down, will haw full
command of our military wives."
