Trumbull. Washington Column Kennedy's Action on Cuba Has No Political Taint By PETER EDSON Washington Correspondent Newspaper Enterprise Assn, WASHINGTON. The first, cynical reaction that President Kennedy took his precipitous action calling for a blockade of Cuba for purely domestic political reasons to influence the has been pretty well dissipated. The overwhelming convincing evidence of Russian missile base build-up on Cuba leaves no room for argument against the Tightness of his decision, whatever the motive. There a considerable gloom In Republican circles the day after Kennedy made his broadcast on Cuba.

The initial impression was that it could only mean a loss of Republican seats In the next Congress and a Democratic Rain. There was also some Republi can resentment that GOP congressional leaders were called back to Washington from their campaign to be told what the policy was going to be. The President's speech had already been drafted. There was no White House consulta tion with GOP leaders on bipartisan or nonpartisan policy. It was handed to them cold on a take-it-or-leave-it basis and they had to take it.

Shrunken. Image EDITORIAL An Overshadowed Conflict fHINA'S MASSIVE ADVANCES into India on two fronts make one thing clear: This was no sudden "escalation" of the border skirmishes that have flashed along the China-India border for the past three years. It was a well planned, timetable-executed invasion. The Indians have now been forced to see the Reds' true character as it is seen by others who long ago became disenchanted with Mao Tse-tung's "agrarian reformers." It is unlikely that an all-out attempt to conquer India is In the minds of the now. Their strategy Is apparently of the familiar "salami" variety.

Having readjusted the border line closer to their desires, and having taken over many extra thousands of square miles of Indian territory in tJhe process, they are at the moment satis, fied. Thus their new offer of negotiations, preceded by a 12-mile withdrawal by both sides from the present line. This would still leave them well inside India. Even if India were to accept this as the status quo, how long would such a truce be observed by the Chinese? India is a large mouthful even for China, but not impossible to digest if she lets herself be nibbled away bit by bit. China's ultimate intentions aside, India is still in somewhat of a predicament.

She could buy peace by agreeing to exchange the Ladakh area in the northwest, much coveted by China, for Chinese recognition of the old McMahon Line in the northeast, China has suggested this before. Or India could refuse to negotiate on tihis basis and continue to fight, with no clear hope of forcing the Chinese back to where they were in September. Neither side can look for much outside help. Both Russia! illE FACT THAT the Presi- and the United States have other problems on their hands, dent took himself out of the Russia, while wooing India to the extent of selling arms to her, campaign after his Cuba broad- does not want to alienate China completely and is urging nego- did not mit te ate the si Satiations, life obviously stands to gain As of now it is between India and China. It could be a long, bloody affair.

4 SINCE THEN, however, the Republicans have been picking themselves off the floor. The President's new policy was, after all, just what they had been advocating for some weeks. It was the initiative of GOP Senate leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois that was primarily responsible for the congressional resolution supporting a firm stand on Cuba. What hurt as much as anything was the fact that the President had been out In the Midwest calling for tho defeat of Republican leaders like Dirksen, House minority leader Charles A.

Hallcck of Indiana and Rep. Walter Judd of Minnesota. All of them and more Republicans, too, had supported the President's foreign aid and other International policies in Congress, although they had been severely criticized in their home state for so doing. Without this Republican help the President could not have had as good a foreign policy record in Congress he has got. The "internationalist" Republicans did not expect the President to endorse thorn and they did not want that.

But they did think he might have stayed out of their districts as a minimum favor and expression of thanks for past help. Puli tics, however, is not a gentleman's game, and the Kennedys have shown that they play politics hard and for keeps.

And every fellow being you encounter each day goes his ordered rounds under the appalling shadow of instant calamity, symbolized by the grim words, "Cuba Crisis."

Whore the President will be missed most by Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Michigan, Oregon and other key states where he had been scheduled to speak in the closing days of the campaign is at fund-raising affairs. Former President Dwight Eisenhower, who has been nedy's principal antagonist in national campaigning, is not cancelling any of his speeches, although the general has come out in support of whatever Cuban policy the President declares. On the contrary, Eisenhower may step up his political speeches, which have been most effective.

One further grain of satisfaction which the Republicans can claim as a result of Cuban developments is that the President's call for action In place of delay demonstrates the value of an active "loyal opposition" to administration foreign policies, to criticize them and egg him on. NOBODY REALLY KNOWS what the effect of all these recent developments is going to be on the actual election results. Anybody who says he docs or thinks he does is just guessing. The situation is too fluid. It can change, day to day.

What happens next In tho Caribbean, at the United Nations, in Berlin, Moscow, Havana or Washington right up to election day can still materially change the outcome of even local elections. If the new crisis ends reported voter apathy and brings out a record mid-term vote, that will be one net national gain. On the other hand, if bombs are falling on Nov. 6 and people can't get to the polls, the next Congress might approve a big fallout shelter building program so that, voting booths can be Installed in them before 1964 LITTLE KNOWN YET ON HOW TO IMPROVE HUMAN STOCK BY WAYNB G. BRANDSTADT, A question often pondered: Can the study of heredity (eugenics) save mankind from his own folly by improving racial stocks, as is done with certain domestic animals, in order that he may live a life of greater service to himself and his fellow creatures? As yet no effective and acceptable means of improving human stock has been devised.

One great difficulty is the fact that even in those men and women who most nearly approach physical perfec tion we cannot tell what heredi tary determiners or genes are present in the reproductive cells It can safely be said that in given couple's offspring, not all of the parents' best features are reproduced. It has become an axiom among those who have studied the laws of heredity that the more genes Involved In the hereditary transmission of a characteristic, the less chance that it will be passed on to one's children unchanged. Advances in medical science have resulted in the saving of per-! sons with certain hereditary conditions such as some forms of allergy, a tendency to diabetes, severe nearsightedness, and some types of impaired hearing. As these persons are saved, they pass these weaknesses on to succeeding generations. In an earlier, less enlightened, day many of these persons would have died in childhood or would have been so handicapped that they would not have married or, if married, would have had few if any children.

I would be the first to declare that many of the people with these defects are our finest and most public-spirited citizens but their presence in ever increasing numbers places a great burden on our economy, one which, for the most part, these persons themselves have had to bear. Measures advocated to prevent deterioration of human stocks include segregation of the sexes to prevent reproduction of the physi cally handicapped in institutions, sterilization of persons with severe hereditary disease, and laws against the marriage of blood relatives. None of these measures, even when rigorously applied, has solved the problem. And few civilized societies would seriously con sider applying such measures. Although selective breeding would be a more positive approach, It is not likely to be accepted In a free, society because it touches on tho most Intimate aspects of our emotional lives.

Your Manners If a neighbor "looks after things" while you are away, send a card en route, or bring back a small thank-you gift. I'm ready to hit the beach, Wayne Hays, D-Ohio, on Cuba.

By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-I like Halloween. In a fearful time it is one scare you can count on. To an untidy middle-aged person, life becomes a kind of constant halloween, encumbered by ghostly restraints that point spectral fingers of warning against any vision of plenty. One is educated also to a growing fear of the knock on the door. You aren't really frightened.

You are usually bored. When you answer the door, you don't feel that any hard-muscled men will be waiting there to pull you toward the at least warn you to pay an overdue bill No, alas, the man who raps upon your panel is likely either to try to sell you life insurance or a children's encyclopedia, or remind you it is time to vote for the politician of his choice. I have learned never to admit a political partisan into my apartment near election time. As to life insurance and encyclopedia salesmen, they hold for me neither terror nor adventure. am absolutely overbought in those fields.

But along about now I really enjoy answering the door. We also enjoy building up stock of candy to reward the query: "Trick or treat." Once when I was younger, I replied, "There's no treat here. What's your The child squirmed unhappily. He knew no trick. Then I squirmed too.

"How can she tell me?" our outraged and disguised daughter, Tracy Ann, who is 9, will say, "Doesn't she know I'm a mon ster?" Yes, indeed. What children don't realize is that the way they dress themselves to be on Halloween is the way their parents and other friends think of them all the year long.

In the case of Michael Anderson deafness Mike, 19, seems to be well on his way. He is the lad who played the son of Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum in "The Sundowners," one of the most in the last five years. He'll be seen this winter as Hayley Mills' romance in Disney's new epic, "In Search of the He is leaving 1 shortly for the Utah plains to enact the young St. James in "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Mike is slender, animated and in love with Hayley then, who isn't?" Before leaving for the biblical location, he paused to reflect on how a physical set back can help create an actor, He was totally deaf at 32.

"It came on gradually," he re called. "People kept talking more and more quietly, and I had to ask them to speak a little louder. I finally realized that I was getting deaf when I was away at school. We used to have a lady read stories to us at bedtime. At first I sat on the opposite bed Then I had to move to the end of the bed where she was sitting so I could hear next to her.

Once she spoke directly to me, and I heard nothing." Mike still wouldn't admit his infirmity. His mother found out about it when she found him lis tening to television with the sound turned high. The boy was found to have mastoid condition. An operation started him on the road back to normal hearing. "But I had learned to get along in a silent world," he remarked, "and I think that had a profound effect on me.

Children can be terribly cruel, and I withdrew from their taunts into my own private world. My parents never wrote me while I was at led busy I dramatized how alone I was. "Deafness also taught me something I find of value in acting. Being unable to hear people speak had to judge them on their facial characteristics and how they moved." He is the son of Michael Anderson, the noted British director of "Around the World in 80 Days" "The Wreck of the Mary etc. Times were lean for the Air dersons during Michael's youth, and he helped the family income by taking roles in occasional films.
