Kennedy Calls for Policy
Of 'Flexibility, Firmness'
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (iP) President Kennedy, calling for a policy of firmness
blended with flexibility, said yesterday that "while we do not intend to see the free
world give up, we shall make every effort to prevent the world from being blown up "
"Peace and freedom do not come cheap," Kennedy said
us here, to live out most if not
UAW Council
Accepts Contract,
Ends Ford Strike
DETROIT VP)---The United
Auto Workers 180-member
'Ford Council overwhelmingly
_approved yesterday a new
three-year labor contract with
•
Ford Motor Co. and agreed
".to end the 10-day national strike
of 120,000 Ford production work
ers.
Only four delegates opposed ap
proval.
UAW President Walter P.
Reuther then called his executive
board into session to take up the
problem of 25 local unions that do
not have agreements with plant
management on working condi
tions.
These locals represent 61,000
workers in key plants.
Unless local settlements are
completed, Ford could sfll be
crippled by strikes.
The board has announced it
will authorize local strikes in
plants where there are valid dis
putes.
The council's vote to recom
mend ratification of the contract
by rank and file .members came
after a nearly four-hour session
at which Reuther pleaded for ac
ceptance despite opposition by a
small minority of insurgents.
Reuther described acceptance
of the contract as enthusiastic.
He said the "four who ob
jected made it clear they were
objecting to production stand
ards and not to the national
contract."
Reuther brushed aside a dem
onstration that was staged out
side the meeting hall and de
scribed it as unimportant.
He said the group, styling itself
the National Committee for Dem
ocratic Action in the UAW. did
not represent any important ele
ment in the union.
Reuther told Ford he hoped to
have everything solved in time
for work to resume Monday.
FaPout Reported
Not Yet Dangerous
WASHINGTON (AP) Fallout
from Soviet nuclear tests so far
does not warrant undue public
concern, the Public Health Serv
ice said yesterday, although it has
found radioactive iodine 131 in
fresh food supplies in six U.S.
cities.
Surgeon General Luther Terry
said his report was based on
studies of milk in checkpoint
cities in the southeast and that it
is probable that the same situ
ation exists throughout the east
ern half of the country.
The cities are New Orleans,
La.; Atlanta, Ga.; Charleston,
S. C.: Jackson, Miss.: Tampa,
Fla., and St. Louis, Mo. These
were picked as test centers, Terry
said, when reports last month in
dicated that the eastern half of
the county had received substan
tial fallout.
Radioactive iodine is of special
concern because physicians say
extensive overdoses. might result
in cancer or injury to the thyroid.

"Our policies must, therefore,
blend whatever degree of firm
ness or flexibility which are nec
essary to protect
our vital inter-
ests, by peaceful
means, if pos
sible, by resolute
action, if neces
sary."
Kennedy ad
dressed a throng
or North Caro
lina, where he
accepted an lion-
orary degree of
doctor of !aws.
The President noted that for the
first time in history two opposing
forces have the power to destroy
each other.
"This is a lime of national
maturity and understanding and
willingness to face issues as
they are." he said. "not as we
would like them to be."
The country must be purpose
ful, willing to face risks, deter
mined to live up to its words arid
ready to do its duty "undeterred
by fanatics of frenzy at home or
abroad," he said, adding:
"Then surely peace and free
dom can prevail. We shall be
neither Red nor dead—but alive
and free. and worthy of the tra
ditions and responsibilities of
North Carolina and the Unit
ed States of America."
The President said it was a
dangerous illusion to believe this
country's policies can be encom
passed in one slogan or adjective
—"hard or soft or otherwise."
"Or to believe that we shall
soon meet total victory or total
defeat," he said.

Britain's Conservative party sup
ported with misgivings yesterday
Prime Minister Harold Macmill
an's decision to seek membership
in the European Common Market.
The decision was taken by 5,000
delegates at the party's annual
conference. It gave the govern
ment the rank-and-file political
support it needs at home for ne
gotiations which lie ahead with
the six market countries.

Dean Warns
That U.S. May
Resume Tests
UNITED NATIONS (IA)
U.S. Delegate Arthur Dean
warned_ yesterday the Soviet
Union is forcing the United
States to re-examine whether
it will resume testing of nu
clear weapons in the atmos
phere.
John F. Kennedy
Dean told the 100-nation U.N.
Political Committee the Soviet
Union could not be permitted to
become a member of "atomics
anonymous," resuming testing of
nuclear weapons at will.
He declared that the United
States so far has voluntarily re
strained testing in the atmos
phere, and has conducted only
small underground tests.
But he added that if the So
viet Union persisted in testing
in the atmosphere the United
States would have to reconsider
its decision not to test above
ground.
He proclaimed the willingness
of the United States and Britain
to sign a treaty with the Soviet
Union "here and nr w" that would
ban tests in the atmosphere, on
the ocean and underground.
Dean was pressing the commit
tee to give priority to 'a U.S.-
British item calling for debate on
the need for a test ban treaty
under effective international con
trol.

West Germany May
Extend Army Terms
BERLIN (VP} West Germany was reported prepared
yesterday to extend the service of draftees and there were
indications that it will oppose any concessions to the Soviet
Union in the Berlin crisis.
The Bonn government stiffened its, stand against any
form of Western recognition of
the East German Communists
regime just as Soviet Premier
Khrushchev demanded recogni
tion for East Germany as a con
dition for a peaceful settlement
of the Berlin dispute.
Khrushchev declared in let
ters released in Moscow that the
Soviet Union would guarantee
Western access to West Berlin
on condition that East and West
agree to two Germanys, both
neutralized. He said only such
a German peace treaty "can
remove the danger of a new
war."

Parliament in Bonn that draftee
in the army, navy and air force
probably will serve 18 months ,in
stead of the present 12 after the
first of the year.
The move would parallel Com
munist action across the border.
The Berlin sector border
meanwhile seethed with unrest.
East German police hurled tear
gas bombs and turned power
ful jets of water at a West Ber
lin crowd gathered near the
Communist wall in the Ameri
can sector.
Earlier in the day a squad of
10 East Berlin Police broke into
a West Berlin house, apparently
in search of one of their com
rades who defected.
