A clue to President-elect
Kennedy's own interpreta-
ton Of his election mandate
will soon appear when q
Democratic vacancy is filled
on the Senate Finance Com
mittee which handles taxes.
All hands are tactfully
silent at Palm Beach about
this political problem which
involves q challenge to the
seniority prerogatives Of
Senator Byrd of Virginia, o
hard-core conservative. None

ters who must solve it con-

Kennedy at the Political Throttle

had done so much for him,
so long as that brother was
not removed by his own act
from active politicking.
Robert Kennedy's real
power, therefore, will be the
lesser rather than the greater
for his entry into the cabinet.
But, more important still,
the appointment will clear
the way for the President
elect to do what he always
intended to do anyhow: To
give an exclusively personal
direction, at the top and in
all the big decisions, to the
plain politics Of his admins
tration.
All this means that NO
where in Washington-not in
the cabinet, not even in the
so-called White House pa
lace guard-will there be any
political authority which
could possibly be interpreted
as amounting to a competing
authority with that Of the
President. -

Curing the Regulatory Agencies

Federal regulatory agencies
should exercise quasi-legis-
lative and quasi-judicial
functions but turn over their
administrative activities to
the executive departments Of
Government headed by mem
bers Of the cabinet.
The many regulatory COM
missions are dealing every
day with questions that in
volve hundreds Of millions Of
dollars. The licenses for
valuable radio and television
facilities are, for instance,
issued free on a discretionary
basis. instead Of being
awarded to the highest bid
der.
There has been much crit
icisnl Of the lobbying that
goes on, but the most serious
phase Of it isn't likely to be
corrected If the present sys-
TEN Is maintained. Members
Of Congress. under pressure
from their constituents, do q
lot of lobbying for them and
consider it legitimate. Yet
they wouldn't venture to ap-
proach judges who are part
of a court system.
No matter how much "co-
ordinating" is done, as urged
in the Lands report. the
main issue still remains un-
touched-if Congress isn't
permitted to lobby, shall the
White House staff enjoy that
privilege? F. D. r. tried to
control the Federal Trade
Commission and fired its
chairman because he said
the latter's views didn't go
along" with his own. The
Supreme Court reversed that
action and said the COM
miSSioners could be removed
only for the causes specif1-
cally set forth in the law
by Congress. and that dis
approval Of a commissioners
policies wasn't one Of them.
Yet the Lands report now
would give the President
dictatorial power over the
commission by providing that
the chairman of each would
serve at the pleasure Of the
President.
Congress Is jealous Of its
prerogatives. and ultimately
the whole problem will be
satisfactorily solved only II
there's q distinct line drawn
between administrative and
judicial matters, and If
boards or special courts Of
review-untouchable by any
lobbyist-are set up to pro-
tect the public interest.

q Monks Amono 3
Held for Murder,
Extortion in Sicily

CALTANISSETTA, Sicily,
Dec. 20 (AP).-Four monks Of
the Roman Catholic Capuchin
Order and four other persons
have been charged with oper-
ating an extortion-murder ring
with headquarters in a nearby
monastery.
The state prosecutor in this
central Sicilian town asked the
Court Of Assizes yesterday to
order the eight to trial. The
court is expected to set q date
soon.
The eight men and the mon
astery gardener were arrested
10 months ago. The gardener
later committed suicide.
The monks, who were sta
toned at a monastery at Maz-

of persons after threatening
them with bodily harm or prop

accused Of killing a wealthy
farmer in 1858 when he ignored

Democrats nationally, plus
his romancing with the

the Senate majority to a

he would probably prevail, so

Considering the scope OF

will expect him to seek such

insure that the Finance Com

WILLIAM S. WHITE
President-EIect Believed Decided
To Be His Own Expert in the Field

The biggest appointment
that has been made by John
F. Kennedy has nothing to do
with the cabinet. 1t has not
been Announced" with or
without fanfare, and never
will be.
This is the unstated deci-
sion Of President-elect Ken
nedy to appoint John F.
Kennedy, late Of the Senate,
to be the new administra-
tion's principal and senior
adviser on strictly political
affairs.
Mr.. Kennedy intends to be
his own political expert to a
degree not seen in the Presi-
dency in a good many years
surely not seen during the
Eisenhower administration
and actually not seen in the
tenure Of the last Democratic
President, Harry S. Truman.
For the same John F. Ken
nedy who has surrounded
himself with egghead types as
Idea men" in many fields has
no smallest intention of OBJ
tanning his controlling ideas
as to the conduct of his
practical politics from these
types-or from his cabinet
members, either.
This field he has quietly
but firmly reserved for him.
self. The only parallel is that
Of the era Of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt, too,
had SwarmS Of experts"

about him.
He listened to them some
times and was Influenced by
them sometimes about sthe
programs he might adopt. in
economics, in foreign affairs,
and so on. But the throttle

might as well have had on 1t

will run the new administra-
tion's politics in similar style.
His notion is that here is
one game that is better
played by one head than two
or three or more.
This, indeed, is not unre-
lated to his eventual deter
mination-after pushing the
question back and forth and
looking at it in every light
to appoint his brother Robert
as Attorney General.
Thirty-five-year-old Rob-
ert Kennedy's presence in
the cabinet will have a sig
nif1cance wholly apart from
its so-much discussed OBJ
vious aspect: Was it really
wise" for the President
elect to select for his cabinet
a man both so young and so
intimately related? (This
correspondents own sugges-
ton as to this one question
is that we all just wait and
see, giving Robert Kennedy
a chance and having always
in mind that any President
is surely entitled to his own
choice Of his own official
familyD
For the mere fact that
Robert Kennedy goes into the
cabinet will bring an abrupt
end, as he himself has right
ly recognized, to the career
Of Robert Kennedy as bril-
liant political manager for
John Kennedy.
A younger Kennedy not
officially in the administra-
ton but still very close to
the White House-perhaps
as a backdoor adviser to
whom that door was never
closed - would necessarily
have continued as a kind of
political manager.
The President-elect hui
manly could not have and
would not have excluded

The Southerners who have
come aboard are much more
moderate in their views gen.
orally than he Is so it has
really been Republicans who
furnished him the bulk Of his
support.
Liberal thought has still
some distance to go on the
Finance committee. It Is also
true that many Senators well
come the political insurance
involved in a tax committee
which is more conservative
than the average Of the Con-
gress as on occasion 1t saves
them from themselves.
Senator Kerr'S presence In
Palm Beach was particularly
interesting. A very able and
very rich man, he has not
been as effective q Senator as
he was expected to be on ar
rival here from the Oklahoma
statehouse. After his 1852
bid for the Presidency fell
nat, he seemed almost to lose
interest in the broad Federal
scene.
Until near the end Of his
own campaign for reelection
last fall he said little about
Mr.. Kennedy and his view
that his State took q dim
view Of the nominees religion
was well known. But his rcla-
tions with Senator Johnson
have been close and the Tex

How Federal commissions
and boards shall function
isn't a very spectacular sub
ject and hence suffers from
inattention by the public.
yet this fundamental issue
goes to the root of RESPONSE
BILE government. 1t involves
many hundreds of millions
of dollars in governmental
favors, the handing out Of
which under lobbying pres
sures and other forms Of in
fluence have produced many
scandals.
When the Founding Fathers
created three separate divi-
Sions Of the Government
the executive, the legislative
and the judicial branches
they didn't foresee the need
for q fourth, namely, the
commissions and boards that
necessarily combine both ad-
ministrative and judicial
functions.
There have just been issued
two reports on the whole sub
ject. One is called a STAFF
Report to the Special Sub
committee on Legislative Ov-
ersight of the House Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce" The other is q
special report submitted to
President-slect Kennedy by
James M. Lands, who occu-
pied q prominent role in two
of these Federal commissions
under Democratic admins
trations.
The recommendations Of
both reports are general in
nature and urge the appoint
ment of better qualified men.
with a high sense of duty, so
as to avoid the scandals in
lobbying and outside inf1u-
ence that have been exposed
in recent years. The report
to the House, in one Of its
conclusions. says:
'''The time has arrived when
Congress, the Executive, and
the commissions themselves
should institute q program Of
action to eliminate bottle
necks and provide for more
Just and expeditions admin
istration Of the law. The goal
Is not an across-the-board

constructive measures imple-
menting a broad, clearly de-
fined, national policy in each
Of the regulatory areas in
volved, plus a limited number
of enactmentS tailored to
meet the particular needs Of
the various commissions"
In his report, Mr.. Lands
speaks of lobbying in its
worst sense" as occurring in
connection with the award Of
overseas airline routes by the
Civil AeronauticS Board, of
which he was at one time
chairman. Criticism also is
directed against the Federal
Communications ComiSsion,
and the charge is made that
"a strong suspicion also exists
that far too great an infiu-
ence is exercised over the
commission" by the radio and
TV networks. The Federal
Power Commission is repri-
manded for allegedly flouting
the interest of consumers in
deciding rate cases in the
natural-gas industry, while
opinions of the Interstate
Commerce Commission are
characterized as "in the loor-
est category"
Mr.. Lands realizes that
there is no simple solution
and proposes therefore that
Congress give the President
the power to carry out re-
organizations from time to
time. subject to congressional
veto. In the meantime, he
would set up in the White
House itself an Office for the
coordination and develop
ment Of transportation policy,
and similar Offices for COM
munications and energy
policies, along with a super
co-ordinating agency to over
see the work of all the
regulatory commissions.
The truth Of the matter Is
that until the basic issue in
volved is settled-to what ex-
tent these commissions shall
remain executive, and how
judicial matters arising under
their operations shall be
handled-not much progress
is likely to be made on the
whole complex problem.
