Kennedy on the Defensive

ton Of the difference in the
effectiveness of Majority
Leader johnson and Vice
Presidential Nominee John
son. The Southern situation
isn't good. Mr.. Nixon may
hold at least the States won
by Mr.. Eisenhower. 1t al
ready is obvious Senator
Kennedy will need to set up
his own organization in each
State. He will need to do this
automatically, but it must
be done. The inescapable
truth is that not many Of the
Southern congressman,
Senators and Governors are
going to help his campaign
beyond mere announcement
of their support.
The sound of Democratic
leaders dragging their feet
in Southern States is already
rasping loudly on the ear.
The nomination of Senator
johnson has not yet proved
to be the open sesame it early
seemed to be. Given time, it
may yet prove out. The party
rift in New York is still a
sore subject. Many of the
Stevenson supporters are still
sitting on their hands in
New York and California,
waiting to see what is done
about their man. The Negro
intellectuals are by no means
yet sold on Senator Johnson.
At least two NAACP leaders
are for Mr.. Nixon. The leg
islative failure in the Con-
gress has hurt with labor.
So there is trouble.
1t is, of course, early. The
campaign doesn't have UP a
full head Of steam. But for
the time being. at least, Sena-
tor Kennedy is on the defen-
sive.

Of Republicans and Southern
Democrats. The South is
exacting a more than ample
revenge for its defeat on the
party platform and does not
appear to care that it may be
endangering the party's
chances of winning the presi-
dency.
An even colder calculation
is beginning to appear pos
sible. It is that Southern
leaders feel Senator Ken
nedy will lose their region
and the election on the re-
ligious issue, so that what
happens to him legislatively
is academic.
The Democrats, Of course,
asked for their present trou-
bles when they set the stage
for the short session for the
clear purpose of advancing
their November fortunes. 1t
was then almost certain that
a Senator would be their
nominee; it was never in the
cards that he would be given
clear sailing by Republicans
no matter what price had to
be paid to their conservative
Southern friends.
1t speedily became obvious
in fact that Republicans
would almost have taken the
Townsend plan in order to
beat nominee Kennedy on
the politically potent issue of
medical care for the aged.
Their own approach is po-

The political revolution in
the South may reach its cli-
max in this presidential cam
paign.
1t was easy enough to at
tempt to explain away the
detection of Texas and four
other Southern States in the
1928 election as based on the
so-called religious issue, but
when in 1852 and 1856 sew
eral States in the South
again voted for the Repub-
lican presidential tickets,
there was developed another
alibi-the personal popularity
of Dwight Eisenhower.
But what has been gener-
ally overlooked is that Mr..
Eisenhower in his campaign
speeches repeatedly touched
on a sore spot in Southern
politics-the tendency of the
Democratic Party to veer
away from States rights.
Vice President Nixon is say
ing the same thing now in
his tour Of the South.
Mr.. Eisenhower's speeches
in 1852 gave the distinct i'm
preston that he sided with
the South on States Rights.
1t is true that he hasn't since
gone along with the South's
viewpoint on segregation, be-
cause he has felt that his
sworn duty is to enforce the
Constitution as the Supreme
Court Of the United States,
rightly or wrongly, has con-
Strued it. But there is no
doubt that in his heart Mr..
Eisenhower feels - as Mr..
Nixon does-that basically
the issues are moral and So
cial and that new laws or
court orders will not alone
bring a change of thinking
or custom.
But the South may con-
tribute electoral votes to the
Republican ticket this year
for reasons wholly discon-
nected from the segregation
integration controversy. Ac-
tually. on this issue the two
party platforms do not differ
materially. What is signifi-
cant is that the South in

wearing big oily smiles. The

denly a major asset.
The COP. is enjoying it
all the more because Senator
Kennedy is in a neat. but
CALLING trap. He cannot
forthrightly denounce the
Southern Democrats, even
though they deserted him as
callously as if he had been
Senator Javits himself, their
arch liberal critic from New
York. They deserve criticism,
but Senator Kennedy must
hold his tongue and smile
because he wants as many
Dixie electoral votes as he
can get.
President Eisenhower took
occasion to taunt the Demo-
cratic nominee at his recent
press conference. The Presi-
dent said. with tongue in
cheek. that he couldn't un-
derstand why Senator Ken
nedy wanted any more DEM
ocrats in the Congress. He
already had enough to do
what he wishes, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said. if only they could
get together. All this is not
easy to take, but there
was nothing to do but grin
and bear it. The people who
run the luck are helping the
Republicans.
The real damage done by
the betrayal of Senator Ken
nedy by his own party mem
bers lies in the fact that
several elements of the party,
including labor. had been
expecting to see the nominee
in the role Of a dynamic
leader. able to get things
done. Instead, he was utterly
frustrated.
Both Senators Kennedy
and johnson were prisoners

tor johnson could prevail.

large part has been slowly
coming to the conclusion
that the main reason for
remaining Democratic in the
last 100 years is disappear
ing. The Democratic Party,
which long was faithful to
the States rights doctrines
Of Thomas Jefferson, has
been abandoning them in
favor of the Madison and
Hamilton doctrines Of CEN
tralizatiQn Of power in the
Federal Government. The
Republican Party in recent
years. on the other hand.
has taken a position in favor
Of States rights more in line
with Southern thinking.
Indeed. again and again
Northern Republicans have
voted in Congress along with
Southern Democrats in a
coalition that seeks to pre-
serve the rights Of the
States. AS a matter Of fact,
this means more from an
economic and political stand
point to the Southerners
than does the so-called civil
rights issue. important
though it still is in local
politics.
The practical obstacle
against the rise of the Re-
publican Party in the South
is that for generations the
Democratic State and city
organizations have been su-
preme. Selection of a candi-
date in the primaries Of the
Democratic Party has been
equivalent to election because
of the absence Of organized
Republican opposition. In
most instances in Southern
States no candidates for Con-
greSs or for State and local
Offices are nominated by the
Republican Party.
This means that campaign
funds flow from the national
Democratic Party to the To-
cal Democratic candidates.
That's why so many of the
Southern Senators and Rep
resentatives already have in
dorsed the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket. though they know this
means that many voters in

The administration still is
undecided whether to support
legislation to provide Federal
registrars to protect the vot-
ing rights Of Negroes, despite
President Eisenhower's praise
yesterday Of the constructive"
proposals of the Civil Rights
Commission.
In expressing hope that the
commissions recommendations
would be seriously considered
by Congress, Mr.. Eisenhower
did not mean to imply that the
controversial plan to enforce
voting rights in the South has
his Endorsement.
This was learned authorita-
lively as Chairman John Han
nah and other members Of the
commission expressed pleasure
at the warmth Of the Presi-
dents words as he dealt with

The Justice Department has
had the Federal registrars
proposal under study since 1t
was submitted as the key
feature Of the commissions
package Of recommendations
in its first report to Congress
last September. It still Is being
studied.
The administration regards
the proposal as constructive In
principle but still has o num-
ber Of reservations about
whether 1t can be made to
work, according to informed
sources. The Justice Depart
ment feels 1t is the Job Of the
Civil Rights Commission to
put the proposal in workable,
legislative form, though it is
ready to help with the actual
drafting If called on.
Not until the proposal is in
this final. detailed form does
the administration expect to
make q decision on whether to
give 1t formal backing in Con-
greSs.

guidance counselor in high
school. Is there a market for
counselors? Will I have trouble

ANSWER: Not if you are
competent. There is a dearth

Of guidance counselors. The
Federal Government, through
the National Defense Educa-
ton Act of 1858, is aiding State
education departments and

Evening star., 1960-07-10


but have been told I need a
four-year degree. I heard a
great deal about a teacher
shortage. How can that be
If they turn down qualified
people?
ANSWER: Yes, the teacher
shortage is real. BY Septem-
ber, the United States Office of
Education predicts, we will
need $4,000 more teachers,
and we won't be able to get
them. Despite the shortage,
school superintendents try to
maintain high academic stand
ards.
Most States-all of them in
the East-require four years of
college work before they will
license you as a teacher. When
the shortage gets too severe the
communities may give a per-
son an emergency or provision
al teaching license, even
though he does not have a
college degree.
In your case. I suggest, if
possible, that you apply to a
four-year college. Have your
two years of junior college
work evaluated. You undoubt-
edly will get some advanced
credit for it. Then plan a
long-range program which will
bring you a college degree
plus a teaching job.
