President Kennedy Faced Many Problems 1HL MORNING HERALD, Hagenlown, Md. 7 Uluraiy, Novtmbtr 13, 1H1 First President To Face Chance Of Nuclear War (By Hit Prt John Fitzgerald Kennedy 35th President of the United States was the first American chief executive to face the possibility of nuclear war and to risk it with a show of force to protect American interests. But later he succeeded in achieving an accord with Russia limiting nuclear tests. Domestically, he was confronted by a racial problem that epitomized a contemporary world issue--the relationship between the black and white races. There were foreign problems old and new during his administration.

Inherited from previous administrations was the Cold War with Soviet Russia. Despite Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's determination to rid West Berlin of Allied occupation troops, Kennedy held American forces there. lie kept American troops in Southeast Asia to thwart Communist penetration in a area. Through economic help he sought to aid Latin America, a target of propaganda from Cuban Prime Minster Fidel Castro, avowed disciple of Khruschcv. And he acted in similar fashion in Africa where newly emerged nations groped their way unsteadily to-, lard stability, often with violence.

In Europe there was the prob- lorn of keeping the North Atlantic Treaty Organization intact--a problem enlarged by French President dc Gaulle's announced intention not to take the United Stales. At home, in addition to the integration crisis, Kennedy became embroiled with the steel industry over a price increase which he halted, faced a nationwide railroad strike which re-! suited in Congressional action, I fought for a fax cut which he called necessary lo spur the economy and to avoid a possible recession and watched avidly Ihe United States race into with the Russians The nuclear crisis broke in the waning months of his second year in office when he confronted Premier Khrushchev with a demand to remove Russian missiles set up in Cuba a pointing at the United States 19C2 intense relief. weapons In Ihe island Said Ken schcv ac miles away announced he a i a i Naval Quar.nt.ne ordcro work ic on mis-' "This i and a i a i Kennedy ordered a bases, said the i i i a i of quarantine on such offensive, hl crau anll rH uriu-d missiles in on area well vs weapons bemg to the lo i a an(l pr mi sed a a special and land nation, said ships carry- i a i U(n i a i i In the United States i w'V 1 rag them would be'turned i a i an tt a i of the Wcslern wuUaw The cns.s Cuba was hemisphere Persons and Such Kennedy Champion Of Peace avoid Hi there.
