They left Ihe windows closed and (he doors lightly shul. Later, in just a few minules, Crawford said, they started back to the car which was parked on the side of the road about 150 yards from the house.

As Ihey neared the vehicle, they saw another car near the parked aulo. As they drew nearer, Ihe car drove away. When (he Crawfords reached Ihe car, Faye was gone. They saw the other car enough to describe it when Ihey notified the Highway Palrol and Washington County Sheriff's Department al 10:45.

Salinger did not specifically very any of the remarks attributed Kennedy by Alsop. But he reparcd for questions about rficle and read this statement newsmen: "The quotation given in the Alop article must be read in total ontext. The President's state- icnl represcnls no change in mr-rican policy. It has always been clear lhat such a contest as a massive, onventional atlack on Europe by ie Soviet Union, which would put in danger of being over- un, the West would have to pre- eul such an event by all avail- ble means. This has been United latcs policy since the laic 1940s, nd il represents no change.

"The real change, as Mr. Alsop points oul elsewhere in in the strengthening of our de- ensive alternatives to nuclear varfare." Alsop's article said. "The Pres- dent's clear determination to risk uclear war rather than tamely jrrender Berlin has saved Bern so far." It also quoted the President as aying: "1 don't think most imericans realize the way ituation has changed. 1 don't link many people really u'ndcr- land the change.

"Of course in some circumstances we must be prepared lo use Ihe nuclear weapon at the start, come what may--a clear attack on Western Europe, for example. "But what is important is lhat you use these weapons you have to control their use. Whal you need is control, flexibility, choice." At another point it said Ken-- nedy stated, "In some circumstances we might have to take the initiative." The article continued: "The essential' purpose of the Kennedy grand strategy ij that we should choose how to respond to Khrushchev's challenges, rather than have Ihe choice forced upon us.

The underlying principles of the slrategy are all designed lo this end. "Kennedy inheriled two basic doctrines on nuclear warfare. One was lhat any war bigger than brush fire war would be a nuclear war from the outset. The other was lhat Ihe United States would never strike first with the nuclear weapon. Under the Kennedy strategy, both doctrines lave been quietly discarded.
