Now, regardless of party politics and every-One's concern for peace, a national nausea arises over the Administration's smothering of Cuban exile-raids upon Castro ports and docked Soviet shipping. Despite the reasons given for such policy, the historic fact remains that America is using Its power and arms as a shield to protect Castro Cuba, now a Russian The presence- of thousands of Soviet troops and munitions, MIGs and missiles In Cuba is In flagrant violation of the Monroe Doctrtne, which Washington has apparently scrapped for fear of angering Russia.

A compulsive withdrawal in spirit from British military responsibilities in favor of an almost total concentration on domestic reforms In the economic and social fields. 2. A policy incomparably more attuned to the United Nations, and especially to the holy Afro-Asian bloc therein, than to Britain's old allies in the West. 3. An unwillingness to make in any foreseeable future any real effort to enter, the European Common Mar.

WHITE umnists's pressions, in the afterlight of a visit here by Wilson which also gave an opportunity to get some notion of him from close-up conversation, are far less reassuring, if not necessarily somber to the point of hopelessness. THESE IMPRESSIONS are about as Wilson is no longer a one, way disarmer, a ban-the. bomb howler, or an international demagogue, if be ever was. He is, however, a man whose true views of the. prolSer policy in the cold war are remarkably difficult to pierce and fix through the clouds of bookish rhetoric which seem to hover over the heads of so many British politicians of the leftas, indeed, they do hover over so many, of our leftist politicians at home.

He could hardly have been expected to lay down an actual blue-print here, to be sure. Still, much of what he really thinks on this great and mortal matter -is either held in reserve orand more likelyis really not firmed up yet. In any case, such gleams as come through are disturbing to those who value the gallant effort of Macmillan to hold a weary Britain to a steadfastly rational course. WILSON is surely not an irresponsible man; and surely he is devoted to Western interests. His idea that Britain should not try for the unattainable, an independent nuclear force, is sound.

And on, this point his explanations are clear. his accompanying promises to provide greater British contributions to the conventional, defenses of Western Europe have, unhappily, a certain hollow -sound. 4 Independence of a people for whom we once fought a bitter war with Spain? The Administration argues anti-Castro raids on Soviet installations of make it difficult to obtain Moscow withdrawal of 13,000 or more Russian troops from Abe island. Yet the several thousand Mr. Kennedy said have been evacuated were shipped i)ut during March.

The exile raids were in March. The Administration also contends such raids cause risk of a war with Russia. Of course, there won't be a hint of shooting, as long as the United Stites provides an AmerIcan-garrisoned haven for the Soviet In Cuba. The war risk was catapulted by Khrushchev when he turned Cuba into a bristling missile threat, with devastating weapons targeted on American cities. 1 The risk has been thrust upon us.

It won't go away simply because we look aside. As long as Soviet forces and weapons remain in Cuba, under American sanctuary, the peril will grow. True, these raids have accomplished little. How much they could accomplish in time cannot be gauged. Fidel Castro started his Red career of dictatorship with During his campaign in 1960, Kennedy declared: "We must end the harassment, which government has carried on, of liberty-loving, anti-Castro forces in Cuba and other lands we must recognize flat the exiles and rebels represent the real voice of Cuba and should not be constantly handicapped by our Immigration and Justice Departmedt authorities." After the Alpha 66 raiders started operating, President Kennedy ordered Attorney General Kennedy to probe the exile group.

Brother Babby turned loose 30 FBI agents to investigate the attacks and determine how future raids could be halted. 1 Mr. Kennedy does not want a Communist armed camp in the Caribbean. He doesn't want war with Russia. No one in the nation But killing off exile raids and the unprecedented guarantee for an enemy bastion off the American coast is a desperately wrong way to achieve peace.

Appeasing aggressive power has always been the path to subjugation or war. THE MAIL BAG 1 kt 14 Eng-, it 1 Says Unilateral Disarmament Is Weakening U.S. The United States in effect has become an ally of the Red Soviets, guarding Moscow's fort in the Caribbean, set up by Khrushchev in a daring challenge, for Castro's avowed purpose of funneling Communist revolt cadres into countries throughout Central and South America. Few question the good intent of tfrie President, who seeks to avoid war and do nothing to rile the Kremlin adventurers into an accidental holocaust. But the perspective of all power history, the perspective especially of world-hungry Communism negate a policy of appeasement.

And appeasement is the word for our conduct at Cuba. Senator Barry Goldwater declared this week the President is "doing everything in his power" to keep the flag of Cuban Independence from ever flying again. He indorsed the Cuban exile raids and discounted "crybabies" who fear anything done against Cuba will result In nuclear world war. A vast sentiment in America agrees with him. The hit-and-run Cuban commandos are patriots, who have committed their lives and fortunes to free their homeland from the Soviet.

Castro yoke. For their courage and daring they face United States air and sea arms. Some have been taken by the British, co-operating with Washington, and thrown into Bahama prisons.

Gralike's-I'letes To the Editor: This letter is in -reply to your editorial pertaining to the resolution I introduced providing for a legislative in-, of the Metropoti" tan Sewer District which was passed by the Missouri House of Representatives.

You state, and I quote, 'Which way does Mr. Gralike want ii---trustees who are not responsive because they hare not elected by the voters, or public officials who can't be 'trusted because they are?" First, I would like to say that the-residents ofthe Four. teenth District of St. Louis County urged me to exert every effort to have the MSD investigated by the State Leg, islature. I believe that their reascpns are sound, and it is apparent that the people of St.

Louis and Louis County deserve more consideration they have been receiving 'from MSD. At the present time, the trastees are not responsive to the people because of the simple fact that they are appointed their positions and have the right to levy property tax in' creases without voter approval. Voters' in my district feel that they should have the right tirely unrelated to his work on this committee. We have always felt, and said, as a member of the Committee on Un-American Activities, Morgan Moulder served his country well, and we are delighted that the resolution was passed in his honor. The members of the Un-American Activities Committee received a tremendous vote of confidence last month when their, full budget request for the current Congress was overwhelmingly approved by their colleagues.

Members of this committee often take unprecedented abuse from tie left-wing press, and from some of the appeasement-minded and accommodation-seekers in and out of government. For these reasons, we are particularly pleased that Mr. Scherer and Mr. Moulder have been recognized for their great contributions to the strength and continued well-being of America. The Armual Report of the House Committee on Un-American Activities just published contains a resolution of commendation for Congressman Gordon H.

Scherer Of Ohio and Congressman MorganM. Moulder of Missouri, both of whom retired at the end of the Eighty-seventh Congress. Both COngressmen served this committee faithfully and well over a period of many years. Congressman Scherer is a particularly able Representative, who "tirelessly promoted those characteristics of freedom which have given this nation the most cherished and lasting Independence the world has ever known," was a tower of strength on the commitiee. He will be greatly missed on the committee and elsewhere In the Congress.

In the dispute between the St. Louis Police Board and Mayor Tucker as to wraether police pay should be raised in the lower grades, we suspect merit is on both sides. The argument presented to a Legislative committee by H. Sam Priest, chairman of the board, is very persuasive. When he says better pay will attract better officers and better officers can more effectively combat crime, that is certainly what the people of St.

Louis want. In Boar( pay 0 suspe Th com boar ter I ollic that wani quate to keep us first in the nuclear missile race. By the dismantlirig of our missile bases in Turkey and Italy. By the failure to put the successfully-tested Nike-Zeus trying to -give St. Louis quality in quantity on its police force.

That is certainly what the city needs if its citizens are to be free to walk the strcets without being in constant fear of rife or limb. 'Vlayor Tucker's argument against the pay raise has justification, too. Wjth the city facing a $5,000,000 deficit in the current fiscal year and a cut-back in other municipal services, is the Legislature justified in adding $1,200,000 to yearly costs of its police force? Instead of fighting over this increased pay for St. Louis police in Jeff City, members of the Police Board and city off-cials should sit down together in St. Louis and try to figure out how to stretch the funds available for best interests of the Police Departmentand of our taxpaying citizens.
