DAVID LAWRENCE

The Cabinet gives advice.
It doesn't run the Govern
ment If there's q man Of
strong personality in the
presidency with opinions Of
his own.
Hence the question Of
whether President-elect Ken
nedy has appointed q good
Cabinet depends for an an
swer upon what kind OF Chief
Executive the new incum-
bent of the White House is
himself going to make.
Few people except his in
Inmates know whether Sem
ator Kennedy follows the ad-
vice Of experts or forms his
own conclusions. Opinions
differ on this point. but the
fact remains that the Presi-
dent-elect is relatively mex
perienced in governmental
operations as such. So he
has made q wise decision in
gathering to his side q num-
Der of able men.
Before Warren Harding
was inaugurated President in
1921, he had promised the
Nation he would pick for his
Cabinet the best minds"
He = did get some-among
them, as Secretary of State.
Charles Evans Hughes, who
later became Chief Justice.
Today it might be said that
Senator Kennedy has at least
tried to get bright minds"
In this category can be put
the new Secretary Of State,
Dean Rusk. The same Is
true of the men whose names
are in the headlineS-for
Secretary Of the Treasury,
Douglas Dillon, and for At
torney General, Robert Ken
nedy.
Abraham Ribicoff is re-
garded in Connecticut as an
able Governor, and is being
talked Of as likely to be ap-
pointed to the United States
Supreme Court some day.

fenSe. Robert s. Mcnamara,

is regarded as an astute law

Gov. Luther Hodges, who Is
to be Secretary of Commerce,
is an able man with q BUSH
ness background, but it re-
mains to be seen whether he
will offset in Cabinet coun-
cils Mr.. Goldberg's pro-
nounced partisanship for the
labor-union viewpoint. The
latter was responsible for
much of the strategy Of the
last steel strike, since he is
general counsel Of the Steel
workers Union. He is also
special counsel of the AFL-
CIO, so the labor-union
leaders who helped Senator
Kennedy get elected ought
to be happy.

By ROBERT
STEVENSON'S TACTICS

Sen. John F. Kennedy is hoping
working and maybe even praying that
the Democratic contest will soon re-
duce itself to race between himself
and Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson. At the
present stage of the campaign this
is the sort of polarization, to borrow
a high-brow word, that man in Ken
nedy's position would welcome.
If things should work out that way,
Kennedy's appeal to independent vot-
ers would become very attractive. To
some people it would be a Northern
liberal VS.. Southern conservative,
a cosmopolite VS.. a provincial, Har-
ward breeding VS.. hominy grits and
corn pone.
But the best laid plans sometimes
go awry and, right now, it looks just
as if that is what is happening. The
Democratic contest unexpectedly
seems to be developing into tug-of-
war between Adlai E. Stevenson's
hackers and Kennedy's supporters.
There is growing GOODNESS between
the two camps and it might soon be-
come hot fight, although friends of
both men hope not.
There is no longer any doubt
that Stevenson has let his closest
associates know that he is not mere
Iy available" but ready to take
what steps are necessary between
now and the Los Angeles conven-
ton to become the party's standard
bearer.
UNDERSTANDABLE, this has caused
agitation in the Kennedy
camp. After all these months of work
ing in the primaries and with the
state organizations, Kennedy sudden
ly finds himself confronted with this
that it is hard to keep up
the momentum of his early victories
and that some of those who might
naturally be expected to side with
him against Johnson have refused
to rally to his cause.
To offset this apparent trend, sew
,ral of Kennedy's friends are circu-
ating a letter to the academic COM
nunity urging them to get on 'tne

Kennedy move are Profs. Arthur
