Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, has diSclaimed
and vigorously - willingness
to have any part in a revolt
against the Southern Demo-
cratic leadership Of Congress.
Instead Of stirring up trouble
for Senator Lyndon Johnson of
Texas, majority leader Of the
Senate, Senator Kennedy will
do his utmost to bring about
party unity. And party unity
is what the Democrats Of the
Senate will need If they are to
be effective. AS matters stand
today, they hold q tenuouS grip
on the Senate-49 Democrats
TO AZ Republicans.
Kennedy's stand is appar-
emily quite different from the
attitude of other Democratic
Senators from the North and
West. A half-dozen Of them,
under the leadership Of Sena-
tor Hubert Humphrey Of Min
nesota, already have put out a
program for liberal legislation.
including civil rights. They
plan to force the fighting over
civil rights right from the
opening Of the Senate session
January 8. Included in their
program is a fight to change
the Senate rules so as to strike
down the fllibuster which h
Southern Senators have used
for many decades to block leg
islation designed to force all
States to give full and unim-
peded suffrage to Negroes.
Humphrey and his associates
plan to challenge the status
Of the Senate as q continuing
body right off the bat-and
so make it necessary to adopt
new rules Of procedure.
No Stand on Liberals Move
Majority Leader Johnson has
said fatty he considers the
Senate a continuing body and
will resist the Humphrey move.
The issue, therefore. will be
Joined Immediately If Hum
phrey persists in his present
plan. Senator Kennedy has not
said how he will vote when,
and If, this matter Of the rules
comes up. He can, If he de-
sires, say that he. too. believes
the Senate is a continuing
body. In the past the Supreme
Court has gone along with that
idea. How it would rule now
is anybody's guess. Under the
Constitution, h however, the
Senate has the sole authority
to pass on its members and its
rules.
The youthful Senator from
Massachusetts-he Is SO years
old--has come along fast. Ten
years ago, he was elected a
member of the House Of Rep
resentatives and served three
terms in that body. In 1852.
Kennedy defeated Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., his
Republican opponent. and won
q place in the Senate. De-
spite an illness which kept
him away from the Senate for
the best part of a year, Ken
nedy-now fully recovered
has made an enviable record.

National Convention in Chi

They always show up. the
man says. and you Just have
to brush them aside. The body
in other words, is always pro-
testing about something.
Templeton Jones sat at a
table drinking a cup Of coffee
the other day, and for a few
seconds felt very miserable.
He brushed 1t aside, as the
writer said, and that was that.
This sudden "all gone" feel
ing is mostly due to indigeS-
ton, or something.
1t came, he knew. from two
eggs for breakfast.
All the 100 per cent he-men
he knows eat two eggs, so he
thought he would try it. just
TO see.
Two poached eggs, he re-
called, were a great treat to
Winston Churchill, on one of
his flying visits TO the United
States during the war.
Two eggs had always struck
our friend Jones. however. as
one too many.
One egg. he said. was enough
for anybody. But he had no.
ticed recently that his all-out
he-men friends. the sort who
like the traditional male
amusements. all ate two eggs.
They came rolling into the
restaurant. and ordered two

toast II they could get 1t, or
just on plain whole wheat

pointing out how much the

Now all young people go to
high school. And what is even
more momentouS. practically
all, able or unable, must be
propelled through the field sof
secondary education, at least
until they pass the legal age
Of required school attendance.
1t is not my point here to
describe the dilemma which
this situation presents to the
professional educator. It is
rather my desire to suggest to
the United States Office of Ed
ucation that it endeavor-with
the aid of the most gifted and
forward-looking educators of
the country-to find a solu-
ton.
Plainly, this anomalous and
amorphous situation cannot be
allowed to continue. Not all
children, by any means, can
cope successfully with even the
presently watered-down high
school curriculum. And the
current need and demand
stimulated (shOuld we be
ashamed Of the factO by a
chronological education su-
perior to ours in a Soviet citi-
zenTy only one generation re-
moved from the illiteracy of
peasantry-is to improve and
stiffen the curricula of our high
schools.
What, then, will happen to
the slow and dull students?
How can they be cared for?
The suggestion that they be
allowed to drop out of the edu-
cational process at the end of
the grammar grades is nulli-
fled by the fact that there
would be no employment for
them; and that delinquency is
found to be most prevalent
among the unemployed or
truant class of teen-agers.
Our youths must be kept at
schooling till the current legal
age is reached-there can be
no dissent from this. But what
to do with our secondary land
also higher years of GRAMMAR
education in order to keep the
dullards in motion and at the
same time not to penalize the
able and gifted students-this
is the problem which / hope

L0wrence Out of Focus?

David Lawrence, in his COL
umn of November 26, has once
more put on his tinted glasses
and focused his attention upon
the South, where he thinks
that he sees great hope for his
darling, the Republican Party.
He has also been engaged in
one of his favorite pastimes--
interpreting history according
to his own predictions.
For all his ecstatic foaming
about the Eisenhower victory
in the South, surely he must
know that Eisenhower was not
equated in the Southern mind
with Republicanism, either in
1852 or 1856. Just as in other
parts Of the country, much Of
the Southern support of Eisen-
hover can be explained as votes
for a popular hero, a general
who sums up what are often
called the typical American
virtues, and as a manifesto
ton of euph0ria. One has no
doubt that even the nominal
Democrats who have tempo
rarily bolted their party will
come Scurrying back for shell
ter in an economic crisis.
There is little evidence as
yet to support the view that
the Republican Party has
made serious inroads into
Democratic strongholds in the
South. Although it will be
some time before the results
of the election can be objec-
lively appraised, certain obser-
vations can be made. The in
dustrialization of the South, as
we'll as the large influx of
Northerners, has effected radi-
cal changes; and improve
ments in the standard of liv-
ing have encouraged a vote
for the status quo-improve-
ments which only accidentally
coincide with Republicanism
at the moment. This same in
naturalization, however. has
also uprooted many of the
Southern traditions and has
resulted in an ever-increasing
liberalism, which will ulti-
mately bind large numbers Of
Southerners to a liberal, ma
tional Democratic Party. Ad-
mittedly, there is a cleavage
between Northern and South
ern Democratic politicians, but
this cleavage is not consistently
reflected in the rank and file
OF Democrats. North and
South.
Mr.. Lawrence's assumption
that the weakness of the Re-
publican Party in the South
lies in its traditional stand on
civil rights is. to use an Eisen-
hover phrase, wicked non
sense" That weakness can be
explained much in the same
way that it can for other parts
OF the country failure by
the Republican Party to con-
vince the majority of Ameri-
cans that it represents the best
interests Of the masses. Though
many Of the Negroes, buoyed
BY the hope Of achieving their
rights, have presently shifted
to the Republicans. the time
will come again when acquir-
ing a still better standard Of
living will be their paramount
concern and when they will
Sreturn to the party that has
contributed the most to inn
proving their economic welfare.
As for Mr.. Lawrence's wish
ful thinking about the wreck
age Of the Democratic Party
as q national party, / suspect
that once the issue Of civil
rights has been resolved. the
two-headed donkey win be-
come a single-headed one.
moving fesolutely in the diree-
tion Of liberalism. In the
meantime, may Mr.. Lawrence
and other ardent Republicans
devote their efforts to trying
10 cure the ills Of the freak
that now dominates the Amer
lean scene--a grinning two
headed elephant.

Court Upholds Lifetime
Suspension of Yves Santee,
U.S.'s Top Mile Runner

NEW YORK, tR - The state
supreme court today upheld the
Amateur Athletic Unions life
time suspension of Yves Santee,
the country's top miller and Olym-
pic hope, but sharply criticized
amateur officials for fostering lax
observance of the rules.
Justice Walter Lynch, in hand
ing down his judgment on the
controversial case, said:
HE (Santee) has eliminated
himself as an amateur athlete, "
the Justice said, "but not without
an assist from some of the guard
ians of amateur athletics"
Santee, whose 4:00.5 mile last
year was the fastest ever run by
a United States athlete, was sus-
pended by the AAU Feb. 10 on
charges of professionalism.
The runner, a graduate of the
University of Kansas who now is
an officer in the Marine Corps,
was accused of taking money
above allowable expenses to COM
pete in certain meets.
Santee fought the suspension on
the grounds the AAU committee
which banned him was without
jurisdiction and the AAU had
knowingly violated its rules in the
cases of other athletes.

Pink and Green Geese
Should Be Reported
To Wildlife Researcher

COLLEGE, Alaska, May 14-If
Alaskans start seeing pink, green
and yellow geese, they shouldn't
hurriedly take the pledge.
Instead, they should notify DIR.
John L. Buckley, head of the CO.
operative wildlife research unit
at the University of Alaska.
Today he said that US. Fish
and Wildlife Service personnel
cooperated with the California
department of fish and game to
provide a means of tracing geese
on their northward migration to
breeding grounds.
Accordingly, they dyed lesser
snow geese pink, later migrating
lesser snow geese green, and Ross
geese yellow.
, A pink snow goose was spotted
in flock of l25 on May 80 air
miles west of Fairbanks. This is
the first dyed goose known to
have been spotted in Alaska.
DIR. Buckley would like to hear
about others. He promises not to
raise a skeptical eyebrow-pro-
Vided, of course, that he doesn't
receive reports about purple, or
ange and blue geese.
