Clifford Suggests
Supplemental
Defense Budget
By DARRELL GARWOOD
WASHINGTON (UPD—The
$3 billion that defense planners,
with difficulty saved as their
share in this year’s budget
reduction may be wiped out at
least in part by additional
spending on the Vietnam War.
Defense Secretary Clark M.
Clifford told a news conference
Tuesday a supplemental budget
request for Vietnam probably
will be made to the new
Congress next month.
“It will depend upon develop
ments mainly in South Viet
nam,” he said. "I think that the
likelihood would be that there
would be a supplemental.”
The $3 billion shaved from the
fiscal 1969 defense budget
represented its share—so per
cent—of the $6 billion total
reduction in federal spending
Congress demanded in exchange
for the 10 per cent income tax
surcharge.
Eighty per cent of the defense
cut was carried out by
Congress, which selected the
defense programs to be reduced
or deferred.
Assistant Defense Secretary
Robert Moot, the Pentagon’s
comptroller, told newsmen that
”we are less ready to respond
to any emergency” because of
the economies, but the decrease
in readiness had not been
“dramatic.”
Clifford told newsmen it was
his personal hope Hanoi and the
United States could reach

agreement on the start of
mutual troop withdrawals with
in the next 40 days. His
phrasing did not appear to
indicate prospects for a supple
mental defense request hinged
on that.
A backlog of defense propo
sals for the next administration,
meanwhile, is accumulating
both because of the economies
and because of the Pentagon’s
social improvement programs.
A large part of the spending
cut for the year ending July 1
consisted of deferred items
expected to be restored by
Clifford’s successor.
Clifford also has started
programs to help make sure the
Defense Department’s vast
spending is done in the ways
most useful to improving the
civilian social environment
while fulfilling the military’s
mission.
These include ghetto employ
ment, low cost housing, hospita
lization, education and other
social benefits. The new admi
nistration will have to decide
whether to scrap them or
continue them.

Adenauer’s Memoirs
He Wrote About
JFK, Khrushchev
By WELLINGTON LONG
BONN (UPD—The late Kon
rad Adenauer’s memoirs today
told of John F. Kennedy being
unable to lift his son and of
Charles de Gaulle’s satisfaction
over Nikita S. Khrushchev’s
waistline.
Most of the 230 pages
Adenauer finished before his
April, 1967 death concern the
world leaders he dealt with as
West German chancellor.
Adenauer wrote of his first
meeting with President Kenne
dy. It was in the White House in
April, 1961 when Kennedy was
43 and Adenauer 85. “I talked
about age in general and told
the President he could count
himself lucky that he has so
very many years ahead of him,
because they would be necessa
ry in order to conduct a long
term policy . ..
“I told him that I was in a
poorer condition,” said Aden
auer. He said the two men
w'alked through the White House
grounds and met the President’s
son John Jr., then 2. “I picked
up the lad in my arms. The
president recalled my earlier
remarks and then, pointing to
his son in my arms, said, ‘But
you see, I can’t do that.”’
Adenauer said Kennedy was
referring to his back, weakened
by a war wound.
’Adenauer quotes with appro
val French President de
Gaulle’s 1961 statement to him
Khrushchev was not a warlike
fellow. Said de Gaulle: “In the
first place he (Khrushchev) was
past the age when one wanted
to make war, in the second
place, he was too fat and in the
third place it just wasn’t in his
character."
Adenauer’s memoirs say he
spent much time trying, vainly,
to convince de Gaulle to hold
close to the alliance with the
United States. He wrote he told
de Gaulle “no one knows what
the Americans will think
tomorrow ... the danger for
Europe is very great.” He said
he told de Gaulle Europeans
should “hold tightly onto the
American’s hand” to prevent
the United States drifting
toward isolationism.
Adenauer said de Gaulle
Griffin Daily News < Wednesday, Dec. 11, 1968
retorted that the German’s
statement merely confirmed the
rightness of France going its
own way. Adenauer said he and
de Gaulle both complained the
British were always taking the
American’ side in any U.S.-
European difference.
Adenauer said that in 1962, in
exasperation, he had asked
British Ambassador Sir Christo
pher Steel, “When are the
English going to start feeling
European?”
Steel, not to Adenauer’s
pleasure, replied that he himself
was a Scot.
