Kennedy Trip to Europe Draws Broad Criticism
President Kennedy’s planned European tour draws unanimous criticism from critics who warn it could leave Germany in a vacuum during Adenauer’s transition and risk reviving German militarism. Others fear a diplomatic encirclement of France and a distraction from civil rights battles.
