And so the happy brothers went right back to slam

the chairs (above) went right back on the lawn
where they had been found. But, sad to say, the
brothers were so delighted at their own cleverness

they purposely kicked the ball back into the water
And this time, in their excitement, they did get
their shoes wet which meant scolding from Mother,

$4,000 Raised
In Area for z
Israel Projects

More than $4,000 has been
raised during the past year in
the Washington area for land
reclamation and tree planting
in Israel, according to Thomas
R. Ottenstein, president of the
Jewish National Fund.
The announcement was made
last night during a testimonial
dinner for Hymen Goldman,
past president of the fund.
Mr.. Goldman was presented q
plaque in tribute to his partici-
patton in the tree planting
project, which began nearly so
years ago.
Since that time, a fund drive
in the United States has A.
nanced the planting Of a forest
of 10000 trees each year., The
land used for the planting is
reclaimed from the desert
through the use of modern irri-
cation, according to Mr.. Often
stein.
More than 300 sponsors OF
the program who gathered to
honor Mr.. Goldman were told
the reclamation job in Israel
is still go per cent incomplete
and will take many more years
of devotion and hard work"

in any action that might
make him responsible for q
further decline Of the eco
nomic situation. It was bad
Judgment. Rumors of a PRO-
gram to devalue gold were In
the air. and Mr.. Roosevelt,
who knew little about such
things himself, depended on
impractical advisers.
Mr.. Kennedy Is not likely
to make such mistakes. He
knows a good deal about
Washington. as he has been
immersed for II years In
Federal affairs, whereas FDR
came directly from the gov
ernorship Of New York. While
he had some experience in
-. the Navy Department as AS
sistapt Secretary, he wasn't
at all familiar with economic
or international policy prob
lens that were before him In
1888. He made the grave
error in the summer OF 1888
of dissolving the international
economic conference at Lon
don, which, If properly devel-
oped, might have built up the
deterrent strength Of our
allies and enabled them to
avert World War II.
Mr.. Nixon already has
indicated he will help the
President-elect in any way he
can, but political history tells
us the Vice President will
maintain an independent
course and begin quietly to
prepare for the 1864 presi-
dental contest. The Repub-
lican standard bearer showed
a grace and good will toward
his opponent which won him
friends, even among those
persons who didn't vote for
him. His final speech of the
campaign was a masterpiece
Of non-partisanship. He Is a
more potent figure in national
politics today than any other
Republican. He may be ex-
pected to carry on a dignified
and constructive opposition
during the next four years
which is as it should be-and
this is something which Is
fully understood abroad where
they call it "ithe loyal OPPOSE
ton" America, therefore. has
gotten q plus out of the
Nixon-Kennedy meeting.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Why did President-elect
Kennedy take the initiative
and pay q visit to Vice Presi-
dent Nixon? It was q good
move. but lots Of people are
inquiring as to its meaning.
Some of the Kennedy staff
are pleasantly surprised at
the extent of the favorable
reaction to the incident.
Basically, the American
people believe in sportsman
ship. In an athletic contest
the loser and the winner
always shake hands after
wards. Quite a hullabaloo was
stirred up last summer. for
instance, at the Olympic
games in Rome when q
Russian athlete. preoccupied
after a gruelling race. hap
pened to ignore the victor.
When he inquired and was
told what the boos were
about, he hastily congratu-
lated the winner.
But there was something
else besides good sportsman
ship in the Nixon-Kennedy
meeting after the election. It
showed the rest Of the world.
Of course, that in America
there can be a spirited cam
paign and yet the two con-
tenders can be friends after
wards.
The underlying ason.
however. for the meeting was
political in its broadest and
best sense. The country re-
vealed a sharp division in the
election. The race was close
in fact, closer than either
candidate really expected.
There is nothing more i'm
portant after such a contest
than to promote good will on
both sides. It is naturally Mr..
Kennedy's concern more than
it is Mr.. Nixon's. But each
has much to gain from such
q manifestation of good will.
Mr.. Kennedy, first of all,
wants to reassure conserva-
tives that he isn't as haywire
On economic policies as the
Democratic platform adopted
at Los Angeles might imply.
He would like to keep the
fires Of opposition from start
ing too soon-at least until

Kennedy's New Responsibility

We may be sure that from
January 20 there will be in
the White House a man who
will seek to channel the re-
sources Of this country into
measures which will grid the
whole Nation. There will be
no chrome-slick slogans, rep
etition Of platitudes, or the
sonorous flow Of tranquilizing
generalities.
Americas schools are starv-
ing. Americas great cities
are decayed at the heart.
Americas workers are now
unemployed in a total near
4 million persons, and this is
not a truly revealing statis-
tic. 1t is deceiving because
it does not reflect perhaps 2
million more persons who. for
some months, have been
working part-time, some Of
them as little as two days per
week. Americas farm prob
lem is compelling.
These demands, and more,
have been with us ally the
while leaders have talked
glibly of the gross national
product and its record peak,
of the largest number of jobs
in history, and given lip serv-
ice to a system of public
school education which is
anemic and in want of a A.
nancial blood TRANSMISSION as
we'll as reforms in curriculum
and existing teacher re-
sources.
AS President, we may ex-
pect Mr.. Kennedy also to
move quickly toward reorgan-
ization of the State Depart
ment. 1t still is modelled along
lines established in earlier
centuries. 1t will in time be-
come a service of career spe-
cialists: He will understand
that the international policy
need of the future is not to
swap Billingsgate or slogans
with Khrushchev, Castro and
Nasser, but rather to grap-
pie in the arena of ideas and
action with problems these
names symbolic.

legislation in the House lost

In the economic field, how
ever, other considerations in
trude. In California and
Florida, for example, older
men and women are in part
responsible for their big CEN
,sus gains and such voters,
living on retirement income
or fortunes already made,
tend to be more conservative
economically. The increase
in industrial opportunities
among the census winners
attracts too q more stable
worker who becomes more
conservative as his wages
increase.
If Vice President Nixon
takes California. as now seems
possible, he will owe much
to its senior citizens whom
the Democrats frankly admit
they had trouble reaching.
California Republicans wide

State would lose industry If
Senator Kennedy won: his

The effect will be felt in

beamed their appeals chiefly
to big States with a wide
cross-section of people and
interests.

the South and Midwest will
decline as it has started to
do in the recent past. Cali

thronged before the Little
White House at Warm
Springs where broods ,etern-
ally the mood and spell of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
saw and comprehended the
vast prairies of the Midwest
and the men and women of
many backgrounds who lived
and worked there. He visited
the industrial cities of the
East and West and learned
by visual evidence the i'm
portant fact of the ethnic
pluralism of American So
ciety and its labor force.
He met, too, all the pres
Sures and cultural differ
ences. His eyes saw the slums
of the great cities and their
curious paradox of decay and
rebuilding. He now knows
more about the almost des-
perate need for low-cost ur-
ban housing. He learned
about people. their needs,
and aspirations.
These, and many other
things he encountered, served
to bring slow change in the
man, to temper the steel of
him. Seeing America in a
campaign does this to all who
move beyond what they know
to experience new and va
ried.
So, what may we expect?
The responsibility, as he
said, is clear. The narrow
ness Of the margin does not
alter that. Indeed, the re-
sponsibility would have re-
manned the same had he lost
or won by a great deluge of
votes. The responsibility was
waiting for whoever emerged
as the winner.
So, we may expect Mr..
Kennedy to move to have his
philosophy and ideas imple-
mented. There will be no

RALPH McGILL

It is comforting how often
some of the sayings of Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy stick in
the mind. He is not like too
many of our public figures,
who, after they have done
with a speech or conference.
have left nothing for the
memory.
In his meeting with news
men before departure on va
cation, Mr.. Kennedy spoke
to a question about the close
ness of the popular vote and
the effect it might have on
his program.
1.-THE margin" he said, lis
narrow, but the responsibility
is clear"
The mind sees that image
and retains it. 1t creates
understanding, as DID so
many of the things he said
during the long exhausting
days and nights of the cam
paign. He will push on. But
there will be nothing of i'm
petuousness in it. There was
none of this quality in his
search for the office.
At the outset he often was
referred to as brash. AS weeks
passed and the Nation saw
him in competition with the
Vice President. it was neces-
Sary to revise this and other
judgments Of the man. Con-
f1dent he was, but not brash.
1t is very likely-indeed, 1t is
sure-that he grew with the
autumn days as he Travelled
up and down, back and forth,
across the Nation.
There is something about
the sight of America which
natures one. 1t is probable
that even Jack Kennedy,
Travelled, educated, and So
phisticated as he is, had
never really seen his coun-
try. But the campaign re-
quired new eyes. He saw and
understood the small farmer
such as those from Georgia
in 1.-The Deep South who
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-11-16

President-elect Kennedy has
gone far toward drawing up
the most useful approach to
national unity in the face Of
our foreign troubles that this
country has known since it
became the leading world
power.
His action in opening init
mate foreign policy discus
sions with his defeated rival
for the Presidency, Richard
Nixon, is without example in
American politics. Franklin
Roosevelt did not deal either
so magnanimously or so SEN
sibly with the top G. O. P.
leader of his time, Herbert
Hoover - not even after our
entrance in the Second World
War was coming near.
Dwight Eisenhower, upon
his election, brusquely ex-
cluded Harry S. Truman from
any sort Of role in world af-
fairs. Indeed, the principal
weakness Of the retiring ad-
ministration has not lain in
Mr.. Eisenhower's alleged
"softness" as a party leader,
so far as foreign policy is con-
cerned. 1t has lain, instead,
in his curious hardness" in
this area, toward Democrats
who could and would have
helped him had he allowed it.
What Mr.. Kennedy has
done is to bring Mr.. Nixon
into a genuine advisory rela-
tionship in world affairs
which cannot possibly hurt
either man and might just
possibly help the country. 1t
can show that though we
disagree on a thousand things
at home, we are basically to-
gether on the big things
abroad.
1t is a relationship that is
oddly misunderstood by two
wholly different groups for
two totally different reasons.
If personal references may be
excused to illustrate the
point. this correspondent
suggested the day after the
election that the winner
might bring the loser into "a
close creative advisory asso-
citation" with the new admin
iStration.
Such a thing had, in fact,
already been in Mr.. Ken

With Nixon Called Unprecedented

nedy's mind. And it was
made absolutely certain that
he would carry through on it
once his victory turned out
so narrow in popular votes.
There was, at the time, rea-
son to believe also that had
the election result gone the
other way Mr.. Nixon would
have done the same thing.)
To anybody remotely aware
Of political reality, there new
err was, of course, a chemical
trace Of possibility that Mr..
Kennedy would actually ask
Mr.. Nixon himself into his
cabinet. Such an offer would
have been manifestly absurd.
And Mr.. Nixon, as still the
head Of a powerful opposition
party, would not for one
moment have contemplated
it, even if it had been made.
A man still well in the rum
ming for a future Presidency
in one party would hardly
leave that for the glories, say,
of being Secretary of Some
thing or Other in another
party. ..r
Democratic prof e ssional
ultra liberals, however, i'm
mediately began to hiss in
angry fear at the mere
thought of any Cancellation
whatever of the Nixon fol-
lowers-who do, after all,
make up half the country.
They see politics as a kind
of civil war. They overlooked
that Kennedy is a political
professional, not an emotional
amateur.
He is fully aware that par
tisanship. the division of the
sheep from the goats, is for
campaign purposes; whereas
your problem, once elected,
is to be able to govern
govern all the Nation and not
just its Democratic half.
The second and persistent
misunderstanding of this en-
terprise comes from another
group preoccupied with an
other groundless fear. This
is that a symbolic all-national
front (on foreign policy
alone) made possible by a
Kennedy-Nixon cooperation
is somehow a plot to smother
and silence" Nixon in the
