ATTACK ENEMY BASES:a
Gilpatric Outlines Strategy
Of Retaliatory Measures
WASHINGTON (R)--Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell L. Gil-
patric said last night the United States response to an attack might
be first to destroy an enemy's bases, then threaten to destroy cities.
"Whether or not we decide to adopt such strategy," Gilpatric
said, "might depend very much on how successful the enemy's initial
attack was, and whether it concentrated on our bases rather than our
cities.
"Or we might, to continue the speculation, wish to attack some
countries in the enemy bloc while avoiding others."'
Gilpatric included this discussion of strategy in explaining how
the Defense Department now prepares fve years ahead plans on which
military requirements and budgets are based.

Unemployed
To Benefit
From Laws
Proposals Request
Protection of Buyers
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-President John
F. Kennedy put aside global prob-
lems for a moment yesterday and
fired off a 4,500-word plea for the
American consumer-the men,
women and children he pictured as
caught in a maze of misinforma-
tion and compounded confusion.
In a special message to Con-
gress, Kennedy outlined a series
of requests, recommendations and
proposals designed to "alert every
agency and branch of government
to the.needs of our consumers."
Earlier in the day, Kennedy
signed a bill which will set into
motion a vast project of teaching
new skills to thousands of, workers
who are unemployed because of,
automation and to others who are
in low-paying jobs because they
lack training.
Partisan Support
The new law will extend this
aid to a maximum of one million
workers between now and 1965 at
a cost of $435 million. With parti-
san support, it was the first major
legislation on Kennedy's program
to become law this year.
In his speech on consumer con-
fusion Kennedy said that con-
sumers, that is, all Americans, are
the only group "who are not ef-
fectively organized, whose views
are not often heard."
Among other things, the Presi-
dent called for action to assure
safe and effective durgs and cos-
metics, installment contracts that
show the true cost of credit, truth-
in-package labels, and TV sets
that will bring in many more
channels.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY
..civil rights

Blast, Slow
Ci 'Rights
Proceedings
WASHINGTON VP) - Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy said
yesterday there has been too much
talking and breast beating about
civil rights in the last 10 years.
"It's important we get some-
thing done," he said.
Kennedy made this statement in
defending President John F. Ken-
nedy's decision to limit his civil
rights legislative program to two
proposals: a bill to outlaw poll
taxes and a bill to restrict literacy
tests at the ballot box.
The Attorney General said these
two measures stand the best
chance of passing and could be of
tremendous help if enacted.
He appeared at a House judici-
ary subcommittee hearing on the
bills.
Rep. Emanuel Cellet (D-NY),
chairman of the Judiciary Com-
mittee, supported Kennedy's argu-
ment, saying "we can make real
progress if we don't make inordi-
nate demands."'
The Celler bill would declare
that anyone who has completed
six grades in school cannot be de-
nied the vote on grounds of illit-
eracy.
The anti-poll tax issue was de-
bated in the Senate, ;where Ad-
ministration backers sought to
bring up a constitutional amend-
ment to outlaw the payment of a
poll tax as a requirement for vot-
ing in Federal elections.,
