mocrat ic Presidential
candidate John Kennedy's
wife Jacqueline collected q lot
Of advice for him this morning
on how he should run his
campaign.
It came, from about 200
Democratic precinct women
in Northern Virginia who
gathered at the Holiday Inn
in Arlington to help Mrs.
Kennedy launch the nation

week.
The program Is designed to
send Democratic women out
ringing door bells across the
country, telling other house,
wives about Kennedy and
asking If there are any Ques-
tions they have for him.
The Senator is to answer
questions on a television cof-
fee hour at 8 pm. November 2.
If the women around the
country have as much advice
and as many suggestions as
the Northern Virginia con-
tingent, it will take Senator
Kennedy until long after elec-
ton day to weed through
them all.
Tell him to talk more
slowly on the debates" one
woman said. Z,
Some people say the can
didates haven't been specific
enough. Many complain they
have been too specific. They
give us too many facts and
figures. Perhaps If he would
speak more slowly it would
take care Of both complaints"
II agree" Mrs. Kennedy
replied. Il have been telling
my husband to speak more
slowly but he is so earnest
about 1t he can't slow down."

his greatest assets" one wom-

mother and is against sin."
one woman said. IF Senator
Kennedy would be a little
more honey this way"
mol" came a shout from
most of the women in the
room.
Mrs. Kennedy said: i
know what you mean, but
people can only be them
selves. He does care about
home and mother but it's
pretty late to change him
now"
Nixon makes SO many dis
tortions," said another wom-
an. II would like Senator
Kennedy to keep saying Mr..
Nixon, you are not telling the
truth"
Mrs. Kennedy's eyes
widened at this. WELL" she
said.

doors of those ladies'"
"Tell him to let some of
that Irish wit come to the
surface. said another.
Il would like to see Sen

time he has in the debates.
His answers are so short. He
can use the rest Of the time
talking about something he
wants TO talk about. Nixon
alway uses all his time"
Campaign issues came up
only once, when one woman
said she did not think I'VE

nedy.
The peppery 76-year-old Mis-
Sourian, using innuendo and vague
accusations in connection with
the fix" charge, also aimed his
shotgun at Mr.. Kennedy's youth
and experience.
Mr.. johnson, the tall Texan
who has been Senate Majority
Leader for the last six years,
backed up Mr.. Truman's charges.
Later, in announcing his own can
didacy, he gave heavy emphasis
to the need for a mature and ex-
perienced leader to face the chal-
lenges of the 1960s and made
taunting references to his chief
rivals age, which is 43.
Mr.. Kennedy, perhaps recalling
Euripides' line, What else is an
old man but voice and shadow,
answered Mr.. Truman in an adept
nationwide TV statement. His
main point: The top leaders of
the world today all are old men.
Could things be any more fouled
up?
While Mr.. Truman's blast is
not likely to derail the Kennedy
bandwagon. it very likely would
be used by Vice President Nixon
in the coming campaign if Mr..
Kennedy is his opponent. There
is nothing safer, or perhaps as
effective, for a Republican to use

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Democrats: Bandwagon or Battle?

A rough scramble for dele
gates enlivened Los Angeles as
the Democratic presidential
convention prepared for tOmOr-
rows opening.
Senator Johnson announced
his candidacy Tuesday after
supporting former President
Truman's charges that the con-
ventiOn appeared to be "fixed"
by prO-Kennedy forces. Senator
Kennedy denied the allegations.
The No. l city in the lush
State of fruit and nuts, stars and
starletS had never seen such
performance. The 1900 delegates
and their alternates to the 1860
Democratic National Convention
had arrived in Los Angeles and
the supporters of four presiden-
tial aspirants were in frenzied
pursuit.
"Cherchez la delegated" That
was the battle cry.
When the candidates sponsors
were not chasing their prey, or
being chased by elements of the
more than $500 representatives
of newspapers, radio-TV stations
and magazines, they were issuing
press releases or holding news
conferences explaining how their
man was going to win. There
were fiat predictions as to the
number of delegates each of the
contenderS would have on each of
the first few ballots and, naturally,
no two predictions glbed.
The convention week in
Los Angeles was a thoroughly
confused one and a surprisingly
small amount of hard news &C.

be interviewing each other on
occasion. and the number of 'iffy"
stories was high.

Brown Acts Today

Unless just about every OBJ
server on the scene is in error.
Gov. Brown today will announce
his support for Mr.. Kennedy.
Whether he will urge other Cali
fornia delegates to do likewise is
not certain. If he does, the pros
poets are that minimum of so
California votes will go to the
Bostonian on the first ballot. If
he does not, Mr.. Kennedy prob
ably will get 40 or so.
The California vote, by itself,
is not likely to generate a real
convention bandwagon. But the
equally large Pennsylvania dele
cation is due to caucus tomorrow
morning. Should Mr.. Kennedy
score heavily here, as seems prob
able, his nomination may be all
but assured. Mr.. Daley, who has
been reported leaning toward Mr..
Kennedy, could take care of the
matter at the Illinois caucus to-
day. He controls a sizeable bloc of
his States SO votes.
The Kennedy prospects in the
Pennsylvania delegation received
a substantial boost Friday when
Representative William j. Green,
jr., Democratic boss of Philadel-
phia. was reported to be urging
Gov. Lawrence to announce for
the Bostonian before the State
caucus. Mr.. Green is said per-
sonally to control Is of his States
81 votes. If Gov. Lawrence needs
Mr.. Green, this would probably
mean at least 80 more votes for
Mr.. Kennedy.

lieve, rightly or not, that certain
Northern liberals are bent on driv-
ing the Texans Southern sup
porterS out of the convention be-
fore the balloting gets underway,
with the civil rights issue as the
club.
There is little doubt that if Mr..
johnson can be maneuvered into
having to accept or reject a strong
rights plank his hopes for the
nomination would go aglimmering.
If he accepted it, then his base
supports, which is the solid
South" would crumble. If he re-
jected it. the leadership in the big
Northern industrial States would
be even less likely than they are
now to vote for him.
In addition to the compromise
move by the platform drafterS, the
Democratic credentials committee
tentatively agreed last Wednesday
not to challenge the seating of any
Southern delegates on so-called
loyalty" grounds.
This was a switch from previous
plans under which challenged
delegates would have been required
to sign affirmations of good faith
as true Democrats" and sup
porters of the national ticket be-
fore being seated.
The two moves indicate that
some Democratic leaders hope
that fighting at the convention
can be limited to the nomination.
This may be too much to expect.

Kennedy all week, discounts the
Kennedy camp claims and pros
poets. So do Symington and
Stevenson supporters. But as
they do, they give the impression
of whistling in the dark.
An indication of the real re-
spect they have for his bag of
delegates is seen in the decision
of the anti-Kennedy group not
to try to force a change in con-
vention rules regarding the poll
ing of States at the end of the
roll-call. This procedure is i'm
portant and sometimes decisive.
If a candidate is close to a win
ming majority, it could start a
stampede for him-nobody wants
to be left off the bandwagon.
There had been talk of trying
to bar any switching until the
next ballot. But the advocates
of change apparently decided not
to risk possible showdown test
with the Kennedy forces prior
to the nomination balloting. If
the Bostonian had won such a
test, it would have indicated to
the many uncommitted delegates
that he had taken charge; that
they had better Jump to him
on the first ballot.

Chief Executive stressed the eco
nomic, rather than the political,
nature of the step.
He declared in a formal state
ment that the Castro government
is following a course which raises
serious questions as to whether
the United States can continue
relying upon Cuba to supply
third of its sugar needs.
AS expected, some criticism of
the sugar cut was heard in some
Latin American countries outside
of Cuba. One of the first to
accept Mr.. Castro's view that the
action constituted economic ag-
greSSion was Emilio Sanchez Pie
dras, chairman of the ruling polit-
ical party in Mexico. He accused
the United States of closing the
door of friendship and under
standing in the face of Cuba's
yearning to live in peace and eco
pomic independence. And he
declared the people of Mexico
stand behind the Castro govern
ment,

The provocationS by Mr. Rookie
feller sometimes have been great.
For example, his persistent charge
that the United States has per-
mitted its defenses to deteriorate
in the face of growing Soviet mill
tary power has been particularly
annoying to the President, who
feels that his background fully
qualities him to decide what the
Nation needs in this area.
But like Mr.. Nixon, the Presi-
dent has not permitted himself
to be provoked into word-battle
with Mr.. Rockefeller, something
that the Governor, at times, seems
to be aiming at Again like Mr.
Nixon. the President apparently
believes that when a mosquito is
buzzing in your ear it is wiser to
brush him away than try to belt
it.
There is little indication that
any Sizeable group of Republicans
is backing Mr.. Rockefeller in his
current Campaign" But on
Wednesday, a group of his sup
porters launched a movement to
draft him for the Republican
presidential nomination. Large
advertisements in leading news
papers across the country declared
that the Nation needs the Gov
ernor as its leader.
On Thursday, Mr.. Rockefeller
kept the G. o. P. pot boiling with
another blast at the administra-
ton, this time on its nuclear dis
armament policy.
He charged that American posi-
tions have been characterized with
lack of clarity and asserted that
the vulnerability of our strategic
air force places America near a
posture of appealing, rather than
negotiating" This is rather strong
language, particularly from Re-
publican in a presidential election
year.
The policy differences between
Mr.. Rockefeller, who nurses
long-shot hope for the nominal
ton, and Mr.. Nixon, who has it
virtually Sewed up, also were en-
phasized last week when Charles
H. Percy. G. o. P. platform COM
mittee chairman, sounded out each
Of the leaders.
In a frank statement, Mr.. Percy
told reporters later that there are
obvious areas where there are
differences of opinion" between
the Governor and the Vice Presi-
dent.
Whether these disagreements
will turn Mr. Rockefeller into
luke-warm campaigner for the
G.. o. P. ticket this fall remains
to be seen. If it does, Mr.. Nixon
probably would have great diff

threatened to attack the United
States if it intervenes in Cuba.
Mr.. Eisenhower retOrted yester-
day with a sharp warning to
the Kremlin.
Having acknowledged that its
patient attitude towards Fidel
Castro had produced nothing but
failure. the United States last
week embarked upon a new and
f1rmer policy for the Cuban revo-
lutionary government. The first
move rocked the Pearl of the
Antilles and aroused attention
throughout the world.
President Eisenhower dealt the
one-crop Cuban economy a stag
gering blow by virtually elimi-
mating further imports of sugar
from that country for the re-
mainder of 1860. The order he
issued under terms of brand new
congressional legislation will de-
prive Cuba of approximately 80
million sorely needed American
dollars.

The quota revision sent Prime
Minister Castro into a towering
rage. In typically reckless language
he alleged that Mr.. Eisenhower

support of the Castro revolution
and implied he would launch a
rocket attack upon this country if
aggressive forces in the Penta-
gon" dare to intervene in Cuba.

replied. He warned Mr.. Khru-

These pleas were met on Thurs
day by a surprisingly unemo-

Todoy's Situation

When Sunday dawned and an
even more frantic delegate
scramble was in prospect, there
was this situation inherited from
the week before:
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts,, the front-runner,
was within whisper of the nomi-
nation on the first or second
ballot. The job of the other
aspirants. Senator Lyndon John
son of Texas, who formally an
nounced his candidacy on Tues
day; Senator Stuart Symington
of Missouri and Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois was to prevent such
an early decision and force the
convention to turn elsewhere.
If Mr.. Kennedy has his run and
fails. Mr.. johnson will get the
next shot at the prize. Although
not an avowed candidate, Mr..
Stevenson appeared to be the
third possibility, as a compromise.
Next would come Mr.. Symington
and then the deluge.
The beautifully paced Kennedy
campaign seemed to slow down a
bit in terms of hard, tangible
gains during the week, but the
promise of substantial delegate
accretions today and tomorrow, if
fulfilled, may be enough to stam-
pede the convention for the
Bostonian when the balloting
begins Wednesday night.
With even his opponents agree
ing that the youthful-looking Mr..
Kennedy is assured of some 600
votes on the first ballot, as of
now, the jump to the 761 neces-
sary for the nomination could be
made easily if leaders in three
"uncommitted" populous States
gave the signal. These men are:
Gov. Edmund (Pat) Brown of
California; Mayor Richard Daley
of Chicago and Gov. David l..
Lawrence of Pennsylvania.
The pressure on these men has
been great and will continue until
they make their final decisions.
The Kennedy camp. of course, is
pulling one way and the support
ers of the other three candidates.

u. N. Diplomats Watch
Cubo-U. S. Crisis

1t is, they say, as if an over
grown puppy - many in Latin
America still regard the Castro
revolution in this indulgent lignt
had been nipping at the heels
of rich uncle who had not al
ways in the past been benevolent.
NANCY, ill-cared-for, hungry, and
full of sores from earlier mistreat-
ment by CubanS, the puppy has
gotten nasty at timSe; but it still
is regarded with sympathy and
amusement by the village children.
For the uncle to lose his temper
and give the puppy a good swift
kick-or, worse still, to poison it
would be to turn sympathy to
alteration and amusement to fury,
directed at the uncle.
1t is, therefore, difficult dilem-
ma for the United States. There
is a limit to the amount of heel
laceration Uncle Sam can take;
and now - with CaStro'S latest
seizures-the puppy has gone we'll
beyond the barking and nipping
stage. 1t has ripped Sizeable hole
out of the seat of his trousers.
At the same time, to teach the
dog and his playmateS lesson by
precipitate or angry action would
be to damage Uncle Sans larger
interests far out of proportion to
the satisfaction gained.
Restrained ReprisoI
This past week, the Eisenhower
administration and Congress be-
gan a policy of restrained repriSal.
If it remains restrained many
here believe it will command
respect and even support.
Castro, after all, has laShed out
at Britain and the Netherlands
Through the Shell seizure as we'll
as the United States. This broad
ems the dispute and alters its
character; it is no longer just
the LatinOS against the Yanquis.
Moreover, as Communists and
Communist SympathiZers move
closer to the jugular vein of the
Castro revolution, Cubans who
once were its sympathizers-in-
deed, its heroeS-are fast being
alienated. This kind of thing can
not fail to have its impact on the
moral position of the Castro
regime in Latin America.
Other arguments which carry
weight with Latins include the
damage Castro is doing to the flow
of private and government invest
ment in Latin America; and the
danger to hemisphere security
from a Communist baSe-if only
a political base-in the Caribbean.
Castro, by turning to Moscow and
Peiping for support, is himself
helping define the issue in terms
of Communist infiltratiOn.
The real question, as seen here.
is whether the United States will
have the patience to wait for
favorable climate, and the diplo-
matte skill to hasten its creation.
Patience and forebearance, it is
recognized, are not easy qualities
to muster in the midst of a presi-
dental election campaign, but
they will continue TO be vitally
important to the national interest.
