There is ample precedent and a
considerable backlog of successful
experience to support an Ameri-
can decision to deploy sone mili-
tary force in Southeast Asia as
a deterrent against "stepped-up
Communist attack.
One question in Washington is
whether such a deterrent, under
all the circumstances,- can be
made believable, without suffer-
ing the political disadvantages of
a direct, advance nuclear commit-
ment.1
Years ago the United States
agreed to keep American forces
in Europe in order to make it
clear that direct aggression there
would mean the immediate in-
volvement of the United States.
That was before the United States
became so heavily extended. Lack-
ing knowledge of enemy intent, it
can only be said that during the
life of < this American presence
there has been no attack.

The case of Lebanon has sim-

May End
UN Head
Deadlock
UNITED NATIONS (P) - The
United States and the Soviet Un-
ion voiced optimism yesterday
that they were near agreement on
naming an acting UN secretary-
general in place of the late Dag
Hammarskjold.
UN diplomats believed the six-
weeks-old deadlock would be re-
solved before the end of the week.
The optimism centered in a new
compromise plan set forth by the
United States and Britain to break
the stalemate over how many prin-
cipal advisers the new chief should
have. The plan was to leave it to
him.
U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stev-
enson and British Minister of
State Joseph B. Godder issued
statements on it through spokes-
men, after Stevenson had told
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian A. Zorin about it.
Emerging froip a 1 -hour con-
ference with Stevenson, Zorin told
reporters "I think we are near an
agreement-on a very reasonable
basis." Stevenson's spokesman de-
lared "we are optimistic."
Diplomatic sources said the Se-
curity Council might meet Friday
morning to recommend U Thant
of Burma for interim secretary-
general up to April 1963, the end
of Hammarskjold's five-year term.
They said the General Assembly
then might meet that afternoon
to appoint U Thant to the post-
and hear his statement as to how
many under secretaries he would
name as principal advisers, which
regions he would pick them from
and how he aimed to work with
tpem "in a spirit of mutual un-
derstanding."

The request for U.S. troops
"was made with the utmost re-

Various papers and comments
by non-governmental and former
government, experts during the
past several years have suggested
that such neutrons could pene-
trate steel armor and even several
feet of concrete. Soviet nuclear
physicists have speculated simi-
larly.
Officials from the White House
down declined to comment on
reports published by the New
York Daily News and the New
York Journal-American that the
neutron bomb project has high
priority in the current United
States tests.
Saying that work on the project
had gone as far as it could go
without testing when the mora-
torium on tests began in late
1958, Dodd said in a statement:
"The neutron bomb would not
only be a far more effective battle-
field weapon than any now avail-
able to .us, it would provide us
with the most effective anti-
missile warhead nuclear technol-
ogy is today capable of producing."
Should Explore
In a statement issued in Provi-
dence, R. I., Sen. John O. Pastore
(D-R) said the United States
should explore fully development
of the neutron bomb and an anti-
missile. He said both operations
would require tests in the atmos-
,phere.
