UP) TIW1 Vatican Council Votes on Mary's Church Role Fathers Agree by Slim Margin to Shift But multimegaton bombs and long-range missiles do not necessarily mean that we must live forever in disabling fear. For one thing, threats and challenge are not new. An anology, can be made with some validity between the life we lead today and that led by the American pioneers who. maae weir nomes, raisea their plowed their fields, and lived a full life even under the never-end ing threat attack -by hostile, Indians, tnougn we Know that there.

Is a' constant possibility-s-however remote of an unprecedented holo caust, we still must be wise and courageous enough to live fully, confident in the knowledge that we have taken every reasonable step to deter aggression and that we shall always be ready to defend liberty no matter what the price, Basic Considerations I have often been told that deep-seated concern over the possibilities of nuclear war persuaded many people to vote for me in 1952 who under other circumstances might have opposed the candidacy of a professional military man. Whatever the impact on the political campaign, however, my military background assured at least that as President I would hold certain definite convictions on national security. With some oversimplifica tion, it seemed to me. as I took over the office, that five basic considerations pro vided logical guidelines for designing and employing a security establishment. I had long been convinced that the composition and structure of our military establishment 1 be based on the assumption that the United States on its own initiative would never start a major war.

This meant that the nation had to maintain forces of greatei strength and effectiveness than would be necessary if Emphasis to Minimalists' Viewpoint By Sanche De Gramont Exclutiv to The Timet from tht Now York Horold Tribuno THE WORLD VATICAN CITY After which went as far as distributing pamphlets on the our purpose had been So lone as we were to allow an enemy the. initiative, we would have to be capable of defeating hlni even after having sustained the' first blow a blow thaii would almost certainly surprise attack and one thai would make Pearl Harbtii. by like skirpiish. V'Noi Qbllratloil the assump tion did not; in my view, presuppose' that America's response to attack would have to 1 accord with the exact nature of the aggres sion. For example, an inva sion of Europe in over whelming strength by con ventional forces did not mean that our reaction had to be limited to force of the same kind.

The second guideline was that since modern global war would be catastrophic beyond belief, America's mi litary forces must be de signed primarily to deter a conflict, even though they might be compelled later to fight. A third was that national security could not be measured in terms of military strength alone. The relation ship, for example, between military and economic strength is intimate and indivisible. Need of Nation What America felt, was a fully adequate military establishment headed by men of sufficient breadth of view to recognize and sustain appropriate relationships among the moral, intellectual, economic and military facets of our strength. This meant also that they should have the capacity to dispose our forces intelligently, in such a fashion as best to serve peacetime objectives and yet to be of maximum effectiveness in case of attack, They would, of course, Please Turn to Pg.

A group of U.S. owners aid they could charge $21 ton, a reduction from the $25.50 a ton previously quoted. This reduced the differential between U.S. and for eign charter rates to about $5 a ton. Rates on foreign ships nave risen steadily since Russia went into the world wheat market to make up the deficit from a poor crop this year.

Soviet Warning U.S. shipowners, who must meet the world's highest operating costs, made their move after the Russian purchasing mission for grain warned that the sale pro gram might fall through if it were conditioned on using U.S. ships. President Kennedy i such a condition in announc ing the program to make some 4 million tons of grain available. American man- time unions have threatened to picket foreign ships if U.S.

vessels are frozen out of the market. The Russian warning pro voked powerful reaction. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) said Tuesday that he had called upon the State, Commerce and Agriculture Departments to relax ship ping regulations that might block the sale.

Regulations Hit "If we are going to sell wheat, we ought not to have the sale vitiated by rules and regulations, he told a news conference. Insistence that U.S. ships be given priority for carry ing the wheat has been drawing complaints from Japan, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Britain. The Norwegian charge of discrimination" drew a spirited reply Tuesday from Ralph E. Casey, president of the American Merchant Marine Institute.

Telephone lines were felled in many coastal areas. However, there were no reports of death or injury. Moving Rapidly Although winds at the storm's center measured about 100 m.p.h. in gusts, Ginny's travel over land and cold water caused it to lose tropical characteristics and the Weather Bureau said it is "no longer a true hurricane."

It was moving rapidly to the northeast The advisory said the storm would continue to move in a northeasterly direction at about 35 m.p.h.

(Story on Page 1, Part 2.) Socialists OK New Attempt at Italy Coalition By Robert T. Hartmann Let Anttlts TimM Ntwt Strvic ROME Italy's Socialists agreed Tuesday to attempt another center-left coalition with the pro-western Christian Democrats. However, the package plan Socialists intend to offer the Christian Demo crats on an all-or-nothing basis calls for rejection of President Kennedy's plan for a multi-nation nuclear force, Socialist membership in the cabinet, a state- planned economy and oppo sition to all nuclear ar mament in Europe. Rejection of the plan could plunge the nation in deeper political turmoil. i The new Socialist stand came at tne enmax oi a party congress at which veteran leader Pietro Nenni barely held his ranks toge ther in five days of stormy debate.

Faction Backed Thirty-seven percent of the 600 Socialist delegates voted with the "Carnstr faction which favors renew ing the old Marxist alliance with Italy's resurgent Com munists, who now hold one fourth of all seats in Parli ament. But the 72-year-old Nen nrs pyrrmc victory was narrower than the figures showed. He beat tne pro- i ts, who are against NATO and all its works, only by severely watering down his original pro-western stand in a compromise with his ambitious party lieutenant, Riccardo Lombardi, who espouses positive neutrality" for Ita ly's future role. Although the Socialists refused to meet any of the three bedrock conditions on which conservative Christian Democrats agreed to collaborate with them, it was still regarded as probable that the Christian Democrat party secretary, Aldo Moro, will be given another chance to try and compose a center- left coalition in which bocia lists may get tour to six Please Turn to Pg. 16, Col, poenaed a long list of digni-i taries including the mayor, police chief, undersheriff, district attorney, a state senator, an assembhman and the editors of the coun ty's two largest dailies.

Gustafson said he intended to ask them whether they ever bet in pools. It never got that far; Municipal Court Judge Phi lip west Monday dismissed the misdemeanor gambling charge against Flores with the comment: "The law under which he is being prosecuted is not uniformly invoked in this area and this and related provisions of our law are regularly and openly Mary in the church. On the face of it, the vote was procedural. The fathers agreed by a slim majority of 40 that a schema on the Virgin Mary should be included as a chapter in the schema on the church. But behind the vote and reflecting the council's deep division on the issue, there are two basically different conceptions of Mary's role in the church.

One, called the maximalist, insists on giving the utmost possible devotion to Mary and associating her the mystery of redemption. Stick to Scripture The minimalists stick to Scripture and view Mary as the most perfect member of the church, but insist that she should not be venerated separately and that she can not serve the function of mediatrix. Tuesday's vote was felt by experts and council fathers to be a narrow victory for the minimalists and for the Christian unity movement Stressing devotion to Ma ry is criticized by Protes tants and Orthodox alike. As council theologian Gustave Weigel explained it: "Protestants find that Catholic doc trine tends to obscure the unique mediation of Christ. They feel Mary is in conflict with Christ.

Oppose Dogma Protestants also refuse to recognize the Catholic doc trines of immaculate conception and assumption. The Orthodox, while accepting these doctrines, have not followed the western Church in creating many secondary devotions for Mary and oppose the multiplication of dogmatic definitions on Ma ry.
