...remove his missile bases from Cuba if the U.S. would dismantle its missiles in Turkey was a cynical piece of statesmanship. It took shrewd advantage of the frets and feelings expressed by many peace-loving, non-Communist handwringers in the U.S. and other countries. In Philadelphia, for example, Norman Thomas, sometime Socialist Party candidate for President last week paraded outside city hall with a placard proclaiming: NO SOVIET BASE IN CUBA-NO U.S. BASE IN TURKEY...
