Jackie Kennedy Stirs the Ranks

Democrats have other
troubles, among them f1nan-
cial ones. The Jewish COM
munities are only beginning
to warm up to the slate since
the Peale-style fundamental
lists got into the act. Teas
for women will not. the pros
think, bring out the kind of
women who normally vote
for Democrats.
Nixon hackers admit to
some troubles, too. The deep
dyed conservatives who put
him into politics originally
eye with askance his new
found liberalism. He doesn't
even call it the Democrat
Party any more, a pin prick
dear to them. Also, he has
very quietly been pulling
away from apologists and
associates Of his tough anti
Communist days in the hope
Of enticing the big States
and independents every
where to his banner.
But his supporters can
argue cogently that he is the
only possible alternative to a
Democratic ticket and plat
form that orthodox Re-
publicans fear and hate.
It is still unwise to predict
California politically, but its
apparent forgiveness Of Mr..
Nixon is nevertheless there,
and Senator Kennedy has not
made a dent on it.

From Washington Notes:
The average Southerner is
convinced the NAACP had a
hand in writing the Demo-
cratic Party platform. Their
politicians have told them so.
They have created the image
of craven Yankees seeking
Negro votes.
The truth Is that most
NAACP officials are for Rich
ard Nixon and have been all
along, for a very simple rea-
son. They trust him on civil
rights more than they do the
Democrats. They don't be-
lieve he would. as they say,
hold hands with Senator
Eastland under the table.
There are Negro leaders
who think Of the Democratic
Party in terms of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. They see it as the
party in which the humble
citizen is more likely to be
heard. There is a possibility
a nationally known name or
SO will speak out in this
fashion. But as for the
NAACP, its officers are by no
means unanimously in Sena-
tor Kennedy's corner.
The South is producing
most of the spoken anti
Catholic-in-th White House
comment. but the most viru-
lent and false published ma
terial comes from California
and Massachusetts,. This is

Here. too, there is South
ern misunderstanding.
The Republicans emphati-
cally want no part of it. They
do not believe they can bene-
fit from prejudice. They are
aware that if the promoters
of anti-Catholic sentiment
are allowed to go unanswered,
there could be q backlash
which could be extremely
dangerous. Southern Repub-
licans who welcome rabid,
anti-civil rights and religious
extremists to their ranks are
not helping Mr.. Nixon. This
trend worries the COP.
There is a valid reason for
this concern.
In 1852 and 1856 the big
city and suburban Catholic
population centers showed q
swing to the Republican
Party. Previously, Democrats
had held the loyalty of the
vast majority Of Catholic
voters.
About IS per cent Of the
Nations Catholic population
is located in II States. Among
them are New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
California, Ohio. The elec-
toral total of these States is
237. To win, a nominee must
receive 269.

ganda is left to the profess

Answering Khrushchev onthe Spot

the u. N. Charter as q perm
anent member. If National
ist China, which has obeyed
the Charter, can be fired
from the Security Council,
1t would mean the Soviet
Union, which has repeatedly
violated the obligations and
decisions of the United Ma
tions, could be similarly dis
missed. 1t would be risky
for the Moscow government
to try this procedure in the
case of Nationalist China.
Also, If the question is
raised as to whether the Ma
tionalist government is the
true representative of the
Chinese people, this would
open the way to an inquiry
as to who represents whom
all along the line in many
countries now members Of
the u. N. 1t would bring UP,
too, an interesting question
with respect to the eligibility
Of Mr.. Khrushchev- to rep
resent 200 million people,
when there have been no free
elections in his country and
everyone knows he rules by
dictatorship.
The Charter, after des-
ignating the permanent
members, says: Member
ship in the United Nations
is open to all other peace
loving states which accept
the obligations contained in
the present Charter and, in
the judgment Of the organ
ization, are able and willing
to carry out these obliga-
tions," But the Soviet Union
actually made war on a
United Nations military force
in Korea from 1850 to 1858
by supplying arms to the
North Korean and Red Chi
nese armies. This is GER
tainly not in any sense
"peace-loving" or carrying
out the obligations of the
Charter.
Maybe these are some of
the points American spokes-
men will discuss If the sub
ject of Red China's admis-
sion to the Security Council
is raised by Mr.. Khrushchev.
1t may be timely to recall
that in 1851 the United Ma
tions General Assembly, by
formal resolution, declared
Red China an aggressor in
the Korean War, in which
many lives we're lost by U. N.
countries, including nearly
$1,000 Americans.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 49,
Millions Of merry Mexicans,
shunting aside all cares, united
today in a mammoth festival
marking the 150th anniversary
Of their independence from
Spain and the 50th of the
Mexican revolution.
On every community square
in the country estate people
sang and danced in celebrations
that began at II o'clock last
night and will continue
throughout today.
The governments of dozens
Of other nations paid tribute
to Mexico by sending large del
egations Of high-ranking Off
Cials to participate in the pag-
eantry.
In the prevailing spirit of
good will it appeared even that
the serious difficulties which
f1ared Wednesday between
members of the United States
Congress and a left-wing Mex
ican legislator had been
smoothed over, at least for the
present.

Will the American people
have equal time" on tele-
vision and radio to reply to
Nikita KhruShchev?
The Moscow Radio is tell
ing the world that the Sow
let Premier has been de
luged" with invitations from
televiSion and broadcasting
organizations in this country
to speak next week while he
is in New York City. Mr..
Khrushchev'S m ov e m e n t S
have been restricted to Man
haitian by order of the United
States Department Of State,
but there can be no reStric-
tion on the distance his voice
may travel through the air
to distribute his propaganda.
The principle Of equal
time" has become a symbol
Of fair play in political de-
bate in this country. In fact.
Congress has by law provided
that the candidates Of the
two major parties must be
given equal time over the
air. BY analogy, it is equally
important that in the middle
of a political campaign some
visitor from a foreign coun-
try, whose words are designed
to influence the course of
the presidential contest, shall
not be permitted to make a
presentation of his views
without a rebuttal from an
) authoritative American
source.
The broadcasting and tel
evision companies naturally
do not like to give up time
unnecessarily, and they
usually like to fit rebuttal
programs into schedules at
their own convenience. But
in q case as vital to the in
terest of the United States
as an answer to the prop
aganda campaign carried on
by Nikita Khrushchev. it is
essential that the reply pro-
gram be put on to the same
audience and Immediately
after the Soviet propagandist
has spoken.
1t is quite possible that
the radio and television
companies may deem it
desirable to invite Vice
President Nixon and Senator
Kennedy to make separate
replies after the Soviet Pre-
mier has spoken. Certainly

Senator'S Wife Called Trumpet Sounder
Among California Democrats
DORIS FLEEsON

SAN FRANCISCO. Mrs.
John F. Kennedy may prove
to be the Joshua of the
Democratic Party in this
campaign. When she defied
the enemy by name and on a
specific issue. she gave that
certain sound on the trum-
pet which the spear carriers
have been waiting for.
She is the pin-up girl to-
day in California Democratic
circles, where it is freely ad-
mitted that on the high road
Vice President Richard Nix
on and Senator Kennedy
have so far chosen to travel,
Mr.. Nixon is ahead. Repub-
licans happily find it almost
too good to be true after the
debacle Of 1858 which swept
them out Of Office, State
wide. Democrats find that in
1860 the controversial House
and Senate campaigns waged
by Mr.. Nixon are being for
gotten.
They are not even consoled
by predicted new registration
totals which local sources say
will give the Democrats an
even heavier edge than the
present 8 to 2. Most of the
gain will be new voters who
are only beginning to be con-
scious Of politics and find the
Nixon tranquilizers palatable
and the image of a strong
Vice President attractive.
1t is true that some Repub-
licans still cannot swallow
Mr.. Nixon. He also has eau

quin Valley, where the out

provided 1t followed directly
after Mr.. Khrushchev's ap-
pearance on the air.
1t isn't important which
nominee may gain an ad-
vantage from the reply pro-
grams. as each speech will be
judged on its merits. But it
is necessary that the Ameri-
can people be told instantly
Of the deceptions and false
statements the Soviet Pre-
mier is bound to make, judg-
ing by the line he has taken
in the past and his utter dis
regard of factual data in dis
cussing international affairs.
1t isn't enough to arrange
for unofhcial persons to COM
ment on the Soviet Premier's
talks. There are large seq
mentS of the American peo-
pie which will wish to get
the United States Govern
ment's own point of view. In
deed, it would be a ten
strike If Secretary Of State
Christian Herter would agree
to make an answer immedi-
ately after Nikita Khru-
shchev speaks.
One of the subjects, it is
believed. that the Soviet
Premier will dwell upon is
the demand for admission of
Red China into the United
Nations. It has been re-
ported widely that the ad-
dition of several new coun-
tries in Africa-l5 have been
approved by the Security
Council for admission-will
tip the voting balance in
favor Of the Soviets, and that
this will enable them to force
the entrance Of Red China
into the U. N.
But this is an erroneous
assumption. Actually, the
United Nations General As
sembly can vote to approve
the admission of new men,
bers only after the Security
Council has formally recon-
mended such a step. The
United States possesses a veto
power in the Security Coun-
Gil, and so does Nationalist
China. There is no way by
which Nationalist China can

councils, 1t is entirely possible
and understandable the Cath
olic voter would react in the
only answer left to him-he
would vote for Senator Ken
nedy.
The possibilities and the
potential are further illus
trated by a regional COM
parison. The Census Bureau
puts the Roman Catholic
communicate population at
about Is per cent Of the total.
The proportions by regions
are: Northeast. 45.1 per
cent; North Central. 24.7 per
cent; West, 22.3 per cent,
and the South, 11.6 per cent.
There already are more
registered Democrats than
Republicans. One of the
Nixon jobs is to win the inde-
pendent and uncommitted
voters. The G. o. p, which
sincerely wants the anti
Catholic issue to go away and
steadfaStly refuses to do
other than deplore it is aware
Of what it would mean to
have the substantial total of
Catholics who left the Demo-
Gratis in 1852 and 1856 return
to them in 1860.
The Democrats have proved
on a number Of occasions
they can win without the
South. New York and Cali
fornia remain the two most
important pivotal States. In
them, and the nine others, the
religious issue, If left in The
hands Of the irresponsible,
