Kennedy Selections Called Excellent
In That They Have Political Knowkow

A Presidents cabinet is
constitutionally authorized.
But we see in it the hand of
Jefferson. In Washington's
administration those chosen
by him as department exc
cutiveS served as a cabinet.
Some Of these were in the
Congress.
Tradition has it that
Thomas Jefferson. noting
the hynotically persuasive
powers Of Alexander Hamil-
ton. and fearing another or
others like him, was respon-
sible for the ban against
cabinet officers being mem
bers Of either the House or
Senate. On request they may
give information to the
Congress-save that which
is an official. part of the
Executive Departments de-
liberations. They may par
ticipate publicly in behalf
of administration policies.
But in the main, they are
presidential advisers.
Many of our distinguished
men have served in cabinet
positions. But few are re-
membered. An occasional
> Secretary of State, such as
Cordell Hull, will be remem-
bered because Of a construc-
tive innovation. Hull's re-
ciprocal trade treaties be-
came internationally accept

in the main. cabinet officers
come and go. The failures,
such as Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson, who
didn't think it important to
know why the grass was
green, have their day and
depart. Few are caught on
the permanent hooks Of
public memory.
A politically inexperienced
President, or a weak one, will
fall into the error Of giving

pare a statement of prin-
ciples. This staff's lack of
restraint, to put it politely,
has been an embarrassment
in the past to liberal Repub-
licans and occasionally the
White House under President
Eisenhower: there is no rea-
son to think its outlook has
changed.
On the House side, Repre-
sentative Halleck, Republic
can leader, moved to recon-
Stitute the conservative
coalition even before all the
precincts were counted. What
all, this could mean was not
lost on Kennedy, who has
served in both House and
Senate.
His need to build his own
political fences as strongly
as possible is in large part
responsible for his delay in
announcing his cabinet and
ever. that he was obliged to
listen to party leaders and to
clear his choices carefully

Nixon Seen Holding Advantage There
Over Rockefeller and GoIdwoter

Kepnedy, was a man ,of Con-
gress. The runner-up, Lyn-
don johnson, was, too.
Now, the one governor
among high @. o. p. pros
poets for the presidential
prize in 1864. Rockefeller,
will run his real search for
that prize in the national
forum Of Congress-not in his
home State, electorally pow
erful though 1t is.
Mr.. Rockefeller's friends
already have made it plain
that he win take q major
hand in attempting to COM
init the congressional Repub-
licans to liberal programs. He
is determined to stamp the
name Rockefeller" on this
congressional record, from
the Left wing Of his party.
Goldwater is equally resolved
to stamp 1t with his name,
from the Right wing of the
party. '-
Nixon is thus left holding
the middle Of the party. the
spokesman for its center. His
purpose will be to support
the development Of a mod
crate Republican line similar
to that on which he so very
nearly won the presidency
last month.
He is, moreover, in simple
fact the titular leader of the
party, though neither Rookie
feller nor Goldwater rushes
to concede him that distinc-
ton. He Is also something
more. For Nixon is greatly as
sisted by the decision Of his
two rivals to challenge him in
the halls Of Congress.
He has more friends there
than either of the two others.
They have chosen to contest
with him on his home field.

doubtedly has wanted.
After all, as Senator Ken
nedy remarks, the former
Governor Of Illinois has an
swered the call of duty on
every other occasion In his
life," and this may have ref
erence to the assignments he
took at the u. N. and else
where under other adminis-
trations. including that of
President Eisenhower.
But Mr.. Stevenson still
hesitated. One reporter
quoted him as saying:
"It is fair to speculate that
there are some unknown fac
tors here which. in an intIi-
cate situation. require fur
ther Qualification"
This could mean that Mr..
Stevenson wanted to know
more about the policies he
would be expected to espouse
in the United Nations. It
could mean that he was not
intrigued merely by the idea
Of regular attendance at
cabinet meetings-for Henry
Cabot Lodge was considered
a member Of the Eisenhower
cabinet right along.
What the whole incident
signifies is that Mr.. Steven
son. being himself a man Of
strong views on international
questions, isn't going to be a
messenger boy or even a par-
rot for the Secretary Of
State. whoever he is. Senator
Kennedy. being very anxious
to get an acceptance from
Mr.. Stevenson, painted a
glowing picture of the i'm
portance. of the job of United
States Ambassador to the
United Nations.
Everyone knows, however,
who is going to be the real
boss. For Senator Kennedy
has some positive ideas about

Announcement Of the Sc
lection of Dean Rusk as Sec
retary Of State does not erase
the puzzlement over Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy's COM
ment last week after he talked
with Adlai Stevenson. Sem
ator Kennedy doubtless was
deSirous of making the for
mer Democratic presidential
nominee feel that he wouldn't
be filling the job of an ordi-
nary Ambassador or State
Department underling If he
took the post of United States
representative in the United
Nations organization. Senator
Kennedy's exact words were
as follows:
THE United States Am
bassador to the United Ma
tions must play a greater
role in policy-making as well
as in representing our foreign
policy views at the United Ma
tions in New York, itself. The
job is part of the cabinet
and it is my hope, if Gov.
Stevenson accepts the posi-
ton, that he will attend cabi-
net meetings and will; serve
as a strong voice in foreign
policy over its entire range.
He has always answered the
call Of duty on every other
occasion in his life, and !
am hopeful that he will find
it possible to serve the United
States in this most vital posi-
ion."
The foregoing, with its
pointed mention of "a strong
voice in foreign policy over
its entire range" and Of the
fact that "the job is part Of
the cabinet" sounded very
much as If the President-elect
were trying hard to persuade
Mr.. Stevenson that he wasn't
being offered a second-rate
post. There is a wistful i'm
plication that perhaps Mr..
Stevenson shouldn't feel too
disappointed because he was
not being given the secretary

politics has been growing
here since World War II. It
has probably been fortified
by the existence of divided
government during six Of the
eight Eisenhower years. but
the logic Of events is chiefly
responsible.
The Secretaries themselves
in recent years have resisted
any campaigning. though
they do as a rule appear at
major party functions. It is
not Q matter which could be
easily legislated. but is rather
one Of tacit consent.
Politically, Kennedy's big
gest difficulty is the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. It's un-
workable policies. its immense
cost and its expansion in an
era Of vanishing farm fami-
lies are problems for the next
Secretary. It is also the field
about which Kennedy knows
least; he is q city President
(Boston), as Vice President
Nixon whittier. near Los
AngeleS), also would have
been. Kennedy has put the
decision back Of the big three
puzzler. but 1t too must soon
be made.
didate. there was less for
Vice President Nixon. There
was a conviction the Eisen-
hover foreign policies could
not be continued in the face
Of events. None of those in
the foreign field believed our
prestige to be higher than
ever, our influence greater or
our policies superior.
Senator Kennedy's start is
an excellent one. He has
selected some of the best
brains available. They are,
happily. brains which can
think in terms of politics.
They can get things done.
The appointment Of Gov. G..
Mennen Williams of Michi-
gan Is a case in point. He
can deal with African prob
lens. He is no specialist.
He can obtain them. The
point is that no matter how
much he offends some Amer
leans. he will offend no
Africans. He has a record
which inspires trust. Nor is
he a fool or incompetent. as
his major detractors insist.
He can get things done.
That will be the big job of
the new administration-get-
ting things done.

Welfare Program
Offers Assistance

The Tribal Welfare Department
was first initiated on a trial bas-
is by the Navajo Tribal Council
during the spring of 1857 The Tri-
bal Welfare program is designed
to offer help to persons who, be-
cause of circumstances, are in
need of assistance in working out
plans to meet their needs. During
the period of trial programming,
the Tribe has been in the process
of establishing welfare offices in
two subagencies. Tuba City and
Shiprock are presently activated
with Navajo personnel trained to
understand, interpret and help in
such planning. The emergency fl
nancial assistance, various types
of welfare housing and family
counselling are offered through
these offices.
The detectives of Tribal Welfare
program are to help the Navajo
people to help themselves. Tribal
Welfare assistance is planned ac-
cording to the Tribal policy re-
solution as a temporary emer-
gency program to help certain
Navajo persons during those per-
iods of time when an individual
or a family needs assistance from
outside sources.
It is recognized that most Ma
vajos desire to be self-supporting
and look to Tribal Welfare only
when there are no other means
or as a very last resort. Many

in understanding and applying the
overall policy of the Navajo Tri-
bal Council. The Committee col
laborates with all other well
fare agencies anC makes annual
visits to institutions where Navajo
cases are handled for the pur-
pose of observing, reporting and
making recommendations relative
to assistance, care and other well
fare services to the Navajo peo-
pie. Without the assistance of the
Welfare Committee, the Welfare
Department would be handicap
ped because there are many pol
icieS pertaining to various types
of Tribal Welfare assiStances
which have to be explained and
evaluated for the General Council
and the people in Chapter organiza-
tons throughout the Reservation.

said to be one of the greatest
churches in architectural design in
the upper Midwest. 1t was fitting
that Zion should be invited to this
particular house of worship, in as
much as we are about to undertake
a building program.
It is noteworthy that our min
lister brought out in his brief re-
marks that we as a group should
aspire to a goal of achieving first
class houses of worship and should
not always be content with worn
out or hand-me-down churches. If
we desire to be treated as first
class citizens, we should have first
class homes, automobiles, etc. and
should follow thru with our first
class citizenry to include our
church home.
A victory goal of $4,000 and a
challenge goal of $4,000 has been
set for this drive. AS Of Sunday
evening, with approximately half
of the members and friends con-
tacted. $65 900 had been reported
in pledges. If this generous trend
continues, then the challenge goal
of $4,000 will be surpassed.
There is no doubt that Gods
presence in this campaign has been
the determining factor as to wheth-
err we shall obtain our challenge
goal. If we as a church maintain
a close relationship with God, then
there are no boundaries to our
achievements, for His power is in
finite and His love everlasting.
