CUBAN CRISIS OUTCOME RAISES STOCK OF NEW FRONTIER IN EUROPE
Paris (JFK+50) On October 31, 1962, Crosby S. Noyes, foreign correspondent for The Evening Star, reports "the outcome of the Cuban (missile) crisis has raised the stock of the New Frontier* in Europe by several points" although he cautions..."there is now a tendency to exaggerate the scope of victory."
He writes...
"The main danger (is) of reading too much significance into Mr. Khrushchev's retreat from his Cuban adventure."
In a related story, The Star reports on October 31, 1962 that Radio Moscow says Cuba "will continue to get Russian aid" including that "which may be necessary to protect its sovereignty."
RM adds, however, the Soviet Union will be pleased "if extreme measures become unnecessary."
*JFK said in his acceptance speech in July 1960, "We stand today on the edge of a new frontier." The term was used as a slogan to describe "the opportunities & challenges" of the 1960s faced by the Kennedy administration.
