Kennedy Believes Cuban

How Dangerous a World We Live In
WASHINGTON UPi — Presidenl
Kennedy believes the Cuban crisis
taught Soviet Premier Khrushchev
“how dangerous a world we live
in” but that it will be some tim<.
before the United States wil
“come to any real understanding’
with him.
If the Communists would devote
their energies to demonstrating
h their system work; in lead o.
trying to change the balance o
power “we could have a lom
period of peace,” Kennedy said.
But it is. he said, the Red Chi
nese and Soviet determination t(
make a Communist world in ;
nuclear age that “makes th<
sixties so dangerous.”
However, in a chatty interview
that set a television “first” Mon
day night, the President said “wc
ought to be rather pleased with
ourselves this Chirstmas” foi
thwarting the threat of Communis
domination.
The Cuban crisis, he said, ha:
made successful negotiations wit!
the Kremlin more difficult be
cause the Russians—through de
ception—tried to change the bal
anee of power by sneaking missile
into Cuba.
No Need for Summit Meet
He saw no advantage in a sum
mit meeting soon.
“I don’t think there is a ncec
for us to meet now,” he said. “
think probably he feels the sann
way.”
Khrushchev knows, he said, tha
if Russia ever fires its missile
the United States will haw
enough to “fire back at him ti
destroy the Soviet Union.”

Covers Broad Field
,; The President and the reporters
(dug into a broad field of subjects
.in leisurely fashion. They turned
| up some nuggets of new informa
, t on but none of really startling
i .proportions.
' j In the process, Kennedy:
| Contended the air - to - ground
j Skybolt missile, a focal point of
controversy with Britain, “wouldn't
’ , provide $2.5 billion worth of na
1 tional security.” The $2.5 billion
s the estimated cost of perfecting
' the weapon.
' Again called on “rich Western
5! Europe” to do its part in bearing
J the burdens of defense of the free
j world while relying on the United
. States arsenal for nuclear weapons.
Figured that as a result of the
1 Nov. 6 election, the House is
[ , “slightly against us more than it
! cats and the Republicans gained
l : two in a House whose total mem
; i bership decreased from 437 to 435.
? i One thing Kennedy has found '
) | out at the White House:
j The problems, the nation’s re
1 sponsibilities in an uneasy world,
. ! the limitations on l'our ability to
1 : bring about a favorable result”
j are greater than he had imagined
. they would be.
“It is,” he said a bit wistfully,
“much easier to make the speeches
than it is to finally make the judg
ments.”
Sometimes, Kennedy conceded,
his decisions have been wrong. He
was wrong, he said, in the Cuban
invasion fiasco of last year—but
right in clamping a naval blockade
around Fidel Castro’s island in
October.

upon other states for institutional

While in an institution, the focus
is on treatment as a means of r< -
