Former Kennedy aides speak on Vietnam, press by Johnathan Shows Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and Pierre Salinger, both key aides to iormer president John F. Kennedy, spoke to Grinnell audiences via telephonic ex- changes earlier this week. Speaking irom- New York City, Schlesinger attacked the Johnson ad-' ministration policy in Vietnam ior in: unwillingness to negotiate. He asserted that when we are at a military disad- vantage we reiuse to talk with Haml; Ind when our position is strong we still will not go to the bargaining table be cause we anticipate improving our status iurther. Defending critics of the war, Schles- inger said that the administration must recognize that the nation is divided over the war issue “We certainly can- not suppress the public opinion polls,” he said. Although neither hawk nor dove, Schlesinger clearly wants the US. out of Southeast Asia ”because it iS low fill our priority list. Europe and Latin America are much more important to our national interests." To get us out of Vietnam, he recommends immediate cessation of the bombing of Norlh Viet- nam. Schlesinger said that the bomb- ing was a result of military frustra- tion, not sound policy direction. "Even ll we would bomb North Vietnam 580 SCHLESINGER on Page I Mr. Lyle Pursell (mathematics) has announced his resignation atter twelve years at Grinnell, He will be going to the University of Missouri at Rolla, to teach graduate courses and help in the advising oi the graduate program and a new PhD. program.
