The facts of Kennedy's
brief life are we'll known: The
colorful Irish Catholic i'm
migrant background; the
luxurious childhood domi-
mated by the redoubtable
father who goaded his large
brood to argument and
achievement; the easy ac-
quaintance with the worlds

record; the hard fought
primary for election to Con-
gress; the victory over Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge; the
dramatic surge towards the
vice presidency in the 1856
convention; the current bril-
liantly organized drive to the
White House.

ON the temperament and
mentality of "the first Irish

Where these qualities serve
him best is in his analysis of
Kennedy'S record in the
troublesome Mccarthy case.
Kennedy's reluctance to
speak out against a man who
"symbolized everything Ken
nedy personally detested."
Mr.. Burns examines the rec
ord dispassionately, concludes
that Kennedy tended to
view Mccarthy more as a
procedural problem than a
moral one" a point of view,
of course, for which the lib
erals have yet to forgive him.
1t was the preSSures in him
rather than on him that de-
termined his long silence, Mr..
Burns thinks. Furthermore,
Mccarthy was a friend of
his fathers, and his brother
Robert was a counsel to the
committee during the times
under judgment.

This detachment Mr.. Burns
regards as the flaw in Ken

Of how and why and by
whom this respectability was
achieved is told In .Thls
Little Band of Prophets"
which is Author Anne Free
mantle's descriptive title Of
the British Fabian Society.
The Fabians were much
more than prophets, They
were a highly effective pres
sure group of clever, ener-
getic people who helped shape
British policies and legisla-
tion to socialistic ends for
rs years. They mapped the
strategy against laissez-faire.
They are the architects Of
the welfare state. which Mrs.
Freemantle considers the only
alternative to the police state.
The Fabians never had
more than 1000 members,
AMI never put up a single
candidate for Parliament as
d Fabian. One of their princi-
pa methods was to discuss
current reeds and social
problems and point out solu-
tions through legislative or
administrative reforms. In
one year lib articulate Fa-
bians delivered 3,40n lectures.
Other main channels of
operations we're the Labor
Party, the London School Of

tion, or from both, their
brains. their time and their
energy"
The bright young Fabians
coped with varied problems.
Shaw's vegetarianism was
ridiculed. Mrs. Webb was dis
mayed to learn that keeping
the masses we'll fed and happy
did not make them good. The
electric lighting act was so
strict in limiting profits to
investors that electric light
ing was blocked in England
for years.
The Tories, when not fat
ly obstructive, brainpicked
the Fabian leaders. The Lib
erals and the Labor Party
skirmished for years for
working class support.
H. G. Wells and GBS
But a few of these had the
impact on the society as did
the advent of H. G. Wells.
Mr.. Wells found the group a
bit static and proposed a re-
vitalization with himself in
the starring role. After a
boiling controversy with
Shaw, Wells was rebuffed.
In the ensuing lull, an
editor asked permission to
print the exchange of corre-
spondence.
"Of course you may make
it public" Wells replied.
"GBS has behaved like a cad
and ought to be exposed"
Shaw wrote:
Certainly do not publish.

With Michael at his heels, he
hurried into his own private
work room at the end of the
shop. Here were tools Of every
description, and shelves Of
models, and barrels of tops
and autos and boats and
watches and a hundred other
wonders.

requests for gifts from every

wonder, Santa set about pulling
out sheets Of rubber, blocks of

but even SO 1t was a long time
before the Job was finished.

One file now with the Senate
and House clerks are reports of
receipts and expenditures of Con-
gressional candidates in the past
election campaign.
Here is the tally for Alaskans
on record with the clerks:
Democratic Sen. E. L. Bartlett,
who won reelection, reported
contributions totaling $685. and
expenditures of $13,524. His Re-
publican opponent Lee l.. Nc
Kinley, reported $9,299 in contri-
buttons and $7,468 in expendi-
lures.
In the House race, Democratic
Rep. Ralph Rivers reported con-
tributions of $6,165 and $4,027 in
expenses during his successful bid
for reelection.
r. l.. Rettlg, the Repupllcail
candidate, had not filed his final
report by Dec. 16, but his preli-
minary report showed contribu-
tions of 1865 and expenditures OF
$4,280.
These reports include only per-
sonal receipts and expenditures
of the candidates and do not cover
finances of committees or others
working in their behalf.

here's a note of contrast. Sen. and

Bartlett will combine vacation
and work by holding discussions
on shipping problems with Of
