U. S. to Face Tribulations
In Struggle, Newsmen Told
(Editor’s Note: As we approach the observance of another In
dependence Day, ice believe it is an appropriate time to stop and
consider the serious situation in which the United States now finds
itself. Charles Martin, Jr., immediate past president of the Georgia
Press Association, was in Washington recently at the invitation
of the Department of State to attend the Foreign Policy Briefing
Conference. Afterwards Mr. Martin wrote a revealing three-part
series for his Atlanta Suburban Reporter and granted permission
for other members of the GPA to use the series. We are happy to
begin it this week.)
BY CHARLES MARTIN, JR.
“If you leave more confused than when you came —
you may be more in touch with reality.”
This was one of the opening statements that became
more truthful as some 250 newsmen and myself sat in the
new Department of State Building in Washington for two
days last week. |; —- -—
We had been invited by Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk to
participate in a “Foreign Policy
Briefing Conference.” As the
two full days progressed, we lis
tened intently as a veritable
Who’s Who in the State Depart
ment and other Government
Agencies and the President of
the United States appeared be
fore us. As we listened, many
questions came to our minds—
and following each presentation
we were allowed to ask them.
We received honest, straight
forward answers. Many times we
didn’t like the answers we heard
for they collectively painted a
very ugly picture of many trials
and tribulations that this coun
try must face in the present and
in the future.
We did not encounter a spirit
of defeatism though, but rather,
a spirit of unification of pur
pose, a spirit of facing respon
sibilities, and a spirit of finding
solutions to the endlessly com
plicated world problems.
We found, also, a determined
dedication in each of these men

to preserve the freedom of man
no matter how impossible the
task seems.
Since the Conference was con
ducted on a background basis,
we were told that we could write
about anything that went on
during the sessions—but that we
could not attribute statements
to any particular speaker. This,
in itself, presented a real prob
lem to all of us in addition to
sorting through over 16 hours of
information presented by some
20 of Washington’s top, top
brass.
As the course of the confer
ence progressed, and as govern
ment officials unfolded the
many present problems—Laos,
Cuba, Congo, Berlin—a central
thought developed. If you think
things are tough now, you
haven’t seen anything yet. One
spokesman went so far as to say
that within five years the United
States may begin to lose its
ability to influence world af
fairs.
Another spokesman com
plained that often the United
I Px L
I \
States seems to be caught in the
middle when all that is wanted
is a peaceful settlement in the
disputed areas. Timeliness nec
essarily influenced the speakers
remarks — scarcely anyone
skipped over Cuba and Laos.
Paramount remarks about
Cuba, provoked endless ques
tions of “Why?” A top govern
ment official stated that intelli
gence data had been correct,
that it was correctly estimated
and that the proper officials
knew the situation. No further
statement can be made as to
why the abortive Cuban action
took place until a full investiga
tion now underway has been
completed another official said.
There was a widespread mis
conception of the intention of
the Cuba move, we learned.
Even though we and other
countries did help the Cubans
train, they moved in on their
own initiative, in considerable
numbers to attempt to set off a
chain reaction of revolt against
the Castro regime, rather than
a full scale invasion.
It was initially announced
at this meeting that the pres
ent administration shoulders the
entire responsibility for this
country’s actions even though a
good part of the movement be
gan several months prior to
January. Spokesmen reiterated
that the present administration
had every opportunity to exer
cise what they wanted to do.
Some good has come out of the
Cuban situation, several speak
ers related. One is that several
South American countries have,
for the first time, realized the
full impact of the situation and
have moved to cement relations
with the United States.
The officials now foresee a
sort of solidarity in the Ameri
cas that has been wanted for a
long time.
In Laos, the situation is so
complex that really all of Viet
nam should be coupled in with
the problem, an official said. To
understand the problem a study
in geography plays an important
part. Surrounded by two Com
munist countries, two neutral
countries and two countries
firently to the United States,
Laos inevitably has become a
hot spot in the world. The popu
lation of Laos, one-half Tribal
Groups and one-half ethnic, in
itself has added to the confu
sion.
In dealing with this part of
the world, we even need a new
term for referring to the Far-
East, one spokesman said. Peo
ple in that section of the world
resent being called Far-East
erners. They will tell you, "We
are not in the Far-East—we are
right here. You must be speak
ing of somewhere else.”
We were told that we aren’t
really looking for an ally in
Laos, but just the creation of a
buffer zone.
Anyway, solutions must be

; Oak Hill Jottings ;
By Mrs. Robert Baggett, Lyerly, Ga., Route 2
>«■»(!«*<>«■»<>«■»<>«■»<>«■»<•*«
The Official Board members
of Oak Hill Methodist Church
will meet following the morning
worship service Sunday morn
ing, July 2. All members are
urged to be present.
Our community expresses its
deepest sympathy to the Brad
ley family in the loss of their
brother, Hiles Bradley, who
passed away Saturday at his
home in Lyerly, also to the Rev.
Roy Huston family, of Trion.
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Howell
were Saturday dinner guests of
Mr. and Mrs. Hillery Howell and
Gail. They and Mrs. Hillery
Howell visited Mr. and Mrs.
Luther Anderson in Berryton.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mosely
were Saturday night supper
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Danny
Mosely and Joan.
Little Marie and Vernon
White, of Menlo, were Friday
night guests of their grandpar
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Ver
non.
Mrs. Nora Gardner and David
visited Mrs. Roy Gardner in
found to the problem, and these
solutions must take into con
sideration a responsive aid pro
gram (the gap between the
have’s and the have-not’s con
tinues to widen), the magnitude
of the China problem, the great
importance of our partnership
with Japan, and a military
policy with very powerful
backing.
Our relationship with Com
munist China is a real oddity.
We actually have more contacts
than many countries who recog
nize them diplomatically, ac
cording to one man who should
know. There’s no magic in
diplomatic recognition was thus
proved. We simply can’t recog
nize them, even if we wanted to,
because of the demands they
have laid down as a prerequisite
to recognition.
We learned, too, that the of
ficial feeling is that Red China
has presented Russia with an
emergency that wasn't expected
and as one spokesman put it,
“The differences between the
two countries is a REAL thing.”
The nibbling program that
was renewed in Berlin several
months ago emphasizes the im
portance of this focal point in
our conflict with Russia. A very
reliable source staged that with
in the next two or three months
this spot will be a severe test of
our very nerve fibers. This same
spokesman said that we must
make it a cold fact that we will
fight if necessary to preserve our
position.
In Berlin and East Germany
one point that has been found
to be very effective is the TTD
(Temporary Travel Document)
that must be obtained from
Allied Commanders for any
travel in the Free World. This
has quite an annoyance factor
and is a very important tool.
