Cuban invasion. I Humphrey seems to have let a 'basic fact loose on the air waves in a recent taped radio interview. He fingered the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff as the basically responsible parties for what happened to the’Cuban invasion. He said the joint chiefs had a more powerful role in the invasion decision than did Allen W. Dulles and the Central intelligence Agency or any other agency. That is. a new slant on the invasion post mortem. -Humphrey went further. He said the CIA did a fairly good job. That is, indeed, news. Dulles was the public’s whipping boy for Cuba in the first days after the invasion calamity. The word seemed to be that Dulles would have to go. President Kennedy did what he could to shield Dulles and other subordinates from the public’s indignation. Kennedy said he was responsible for what had happened, he alone. This was a courageous and gracious gesture by the young President but it was not easily believed. No President would be likely to attempt to make on his own the basic decisions demanded by the effort to invade Cuba. Some of those decisions had to be based on intelligence reports and’ the interpretations put upon them. Other decisions, perhaps the most important, were strictly miliary in nature. These were tactical decisions. The tactics or immediate methods to be used in landing on the Cuban beach had to be military decisions. What Humphrey said is a reminder that nnv U.S. president would seek such military advice from the U.S. chiefs. The secretary of national defense would not be competent to give military advice. It would be against established practice for a president to seek military advice from any but his senior officers. If Kennedy did. in fact, act on the favorable opinions of the joint chiefs in permitting the attempt to invade Cuba, there doubtless will be changes made as opportunity offers. Who, for example, made the decision which former President Eisenhowet publicly challenged? That was the decision to put all invasion supplies, ammunition and such, In one ship

which seems to have been sunk. A betting man would be tempted to wager that this and other invasion decisions for Cuba were not made by the junior member of the joint chiefs. The junior man is the Marines’ Gen. David M. Shoup. When Marines mount an invasion It generally goes ashore. Writers Still Seek Ways To Explain Texas "V By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPII — Every ’ so often some magazine writer will dip his quill in liquid superla- ' tives, anoint himself with the oil of omniscience and undertake to explain Texas. Explaining Texas has. in fact, become a sort of obsession among the periodical literati. They look upon it the way mountain climbers used to regard Mt. Everest. All of their efforts are, of course, foredoomed. If the human brain were capable of explaining ’ Texas, mankind long ago would have unlocked the deepest mysteries of the universe. Nevertheless, magazine writers have to do something to keep themselves in tweed jackets and as long as the chalcnge is there, , I really can’t blame them from having a go at it. The latest scribe to take the plunge is John Bainbridge, author of a series of articles that have been appearing for the past month or so in the New Yorker magazine. N. Y. Holds Record (New York writers, by the way, probably hofd the national record for the number of attempts to explain Texas. It even surpasses the number of attempts by Texas writers to explain New York.) Bainbridge propounds the interesting thesis that traits of character and behavior patterns which other countries regard- as pecul-iarly-American are magnified or

intensified in Texas. Are Americans as a whole excessively patriotic, prideful, and clamorous for a fast buck, while at the same time exceedingly generous, friendly and respectful of womanhood? If so, says .Bainbridge, Texans are that way, too, only more so. Texas has become, in his phrase, “the super-American state.” This runs counter to the concept , advanced by previous explainers, who took the tack that Texas was “extra-American,” or a thing apart from the rest of the United States. Being an old Texas myself, I have always tended toward the Being an old Texan myself, I was indoctrinated Into this line of/ thinking by my early environment. Texans Different “There is something different about being a Texan,” my mater used to say, her eys transfixed by a daguerrotype of the Alamo that hung above the fireplace. I remember asking her once what it was that was difference about us. “Well, for one thing,” she said, “we don’t live in Oklahoma.” - After reading Bainbridge’s articles, I am now inclined to think the “super-America” theory may be more valid. But this explanation also leaves me with something less than a sense of fulfillment. Eventually, perhaps, some writer will be transported into the realm of the occult and thus find himself able to explain the inexplicable. Such a breakthrough could be a boon to all of humanity. It could mean that people everywhere would be spared from hearing any more Texas jokes. Foward Step Toward Peace By Congolese By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst The announcement that the Congo parliament soon will be called back into session marks one more forward step toward peace in an area which has been the United Nations’ greatest source of worry for most of a year. . In contrast to Laos which has been specifically a United States r concern, and with the exception r of the Soviet Union and France » among the great powers, the Con--1 go has been a United Nations ef- > fort. Now it appears that the forces , of President Joseph Kasavubu ! are ready to press ahead with : efforts toward a strong central • government, and, with United Nations aid, to meet the challenge f of secessionist Katanga Province i and Communist-supported Antoine ! Gizenga in Stanleyville. I That aid is certain to be forth- ■ coming since a reconvening of parliament, suspended last fall, > has been one of the primary de- > mands not only of such leaders I as Nehru of India and Nkrumah ■ of Ghana but of Gizenga as well. 1 Gizenga, a protege of the slain Patrice Lumumba, has been tout- : ing himself as Lumumba’s successor as Congolese premier. ! Congolese experts, however, be--1 lieve he can obtain only about 40 ’ of the 69 votes he would need to control a majority in the 137member assembly. Thus any legal claim he might j have on Lumumba’s former post would be erased. The other outstanding personali- ! ty opposing the Kasavubu govern- ’ ment is Moise Tshombe. premier of Katanga. But Tshombe is in ’ six months detention and faces charges of sedition. United Nations forces are mov- • V, , ■: .:

tag in to break up his Belgian-led mercenary army. His arrest, with United Nations approval, sprang from his insistence on Katanga independence or at the very least virtual autonomy within a loose federation of Congolese states. From the ideological standpoint, his Leopoldville adversaries are described as Just as anti-Commu-nist as he. They would prefer to be less dependent on the white man than they are but are sensible enough to realize that a certain number will be necessary to help run the country for many years to come.
