Many more facets exist in the
character and personality of John
F. Kennedy than were apparent
in the white heat of the election
battle or in the primary buildup
which preceded it.
The crisp figure who slammed
the answers back at Richard Nix
on, waved tirelesSly from the rear
of convertibles, and barked the
outlines of his new frontier at
crowds across the country, repre-
sented only one of many dimen-
sions in the man who will enter
the White House next January.
Perhaps the most important of
these dimensions, from the ma
tional standpoint, is Mr.. Kennedy's
quality of total dedication to the
task at hand. the absorption of
his "give it everything" spirit.
Everyone who knows John Ken
nedy is certain he will bend every
fiber of his being to the presidency
and live relentlessly with the
problems that are before him.
One of the gifts which peculiarly
suits him for the White House
is an acute sense of the important,
a talent for separating the wheat
from the chaff. The essence of
this gift is an instinct for the
heart of the subject that will not
let him be diverted by side issues.
The quality of his mind is not
an exercise of intellect or memory
but of sheer and piercing intelli-
gence.
A Sense Of Humor
Mr.. Kennedys judgment was
bitterly challenged in the cam
paign, an attack that can derive
little substance from his personal
and professional records. His path
to the White House has been a
harvest OF good judgments. q rea-

Bloc unity was again shown on
Friday. Nigeria, a new member,
moved to postpone elections to the
Security Council and the Eco

The United States and the
Western bloc opposed the post

litical Committee is debating en-
,argement of the two Councils, MI.

sistently pulling away from NATO,
putting his reliance instead on q
purely French striking force which
he insists could be Immediately
available in any emergency. He
has removed the French units
from the NATO Mediterranean
command. And he is pressing
right now for approval in Parlia-
ment of French nuclear force, to
be outside NATO entirely.
Mr.. Adenauer, who will meet
with Gen. de Gaulle next month
in Paris, has made a point of
strongly criticizing the French
Presidents policies. At a special
meeting of the Foreign Press As
Sociation in Bonn Thursday, he
said 1T is impossible that NATO
be permitted to dissolve into ma
tional armies that will have to be
collected together in the moment
of danger. I believe that integra-
ton cannot be strong enough"

AT the u. NJ:
New Line-Up

The Soviet and Afro-Asian
hiocs demonstrated last week
that when they vote together
the Vests long held automatic
majority" vanishes.
When the Congo'S President
Joseph -lasavubu flew to the
:. N. week ago 10 press for the
seating of his delegation in the
General Assembly, the stage was
set for a political showdown. The
immediate issue was whether to
seat the Kasavubu delegation or
the rival delegation loyal to Pa
Vrlce Lurlumba. But the real issue
was the ultimate voting strength
Of the East or the West when the
Afro-Asian neutralist nations hold
The balance of power.
The United States moved in the
Credentials Committee to approve
he seating of the Kasavubu con-
J;ngent. But when the recommen-
'Cat:or. after considerable ma
'leuvering, was approved in the
committee it ran into trouble on
the floor of the Assembly.
On Wednesday the Assembly
voted, 48 to 80, with 18 abstentions,

The postponement was demanded
by the Soviet delegate, Valerian

GOODNESS is completely refuted by
the warm web of relations with
which he is tied to his family and
to those who have known him
well.
He is not, however, the sort of
man who will allow himself to be
crowded in the White House by
Lyndon johnson or to make a
Col. House of any of the officials
and aides who will surround him.
He likes to try his judgment on
a number of those whose judgment
he respects but he has mentally
catalogued, in the case of each
one, the limitations and prejudices
that may exist in their viewpoint.
When the decision is made, he is
firm in pursuing it.
One Of the most complex facets
of this complex personality is his
political philosophy. His liberalism
is far more practical than emo
tional and his philosophy is more
moderate in expression than it
has seemed in the voting records
and more recently, in the cam
paign speeches. He suggests the
viewpoint of a moderate who has
been deeply impressed by the re-
sponsibilities of the Democratic
Party.
After the war, when Mr.. Kennedy
was abandoning the newspaper
world for politics, he explained
that he was taking the step be-
cause he had found that he could
have little effect on the course of
events as a writer.
He now has the opportunity for
a real impact on the course of
the world and the omens of his
personality and character are
propitious. He has grown tre-
mendously in the pursuit of the
presidency and this fact carries
the happy promise that he has
the depth and resiliency to make
him equal to the exigencies Of his
great and taxing Office.

Violence

Nine Irish soldiers, members
Of an 11-man United Nations
patrol, were slain in an ambush
Thursday by Baluba tribesmen
in Katanga, secessiOnist prov

The United Nations emergency

died. but they left 10 Balubas dead
on the field and 10 others wounded.

West German Chancellor
KOnrad Adenauer last week
stepped up his sharp criticism
Of Gen. de Gaulle's policies
toward the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
The cooperation and cordiality
existing between the President of
France and the Chancellor of the
German Federal Republic has been
unusually firm since the return of
Gen. de Gaulle to power. But there
have been signs recently that the
two men are far apart on their

Kennedy: A Personal View

son to hope that he can do as
well for the country as he has
for himself.
A striking facet Of the next
President is the balance of his
personality, his ability to harness
an aggressive and competitive am
bition with a warm and lively
sense of humor and an almost
total objectivity in regarding him
self. Mr.. Kennedy has absorbed all
the honors that have come to him
in recent years without showing
the fainteSt flush of conceit or
pomposity. He remains as Presi-
dent-elect the same essential per-
sonality that he was as a freshman
Congressman, a man who manages
to contain great self-asSurance
without sacrificing humility.
Mr.. Kennedy has always been
a strong personality. one whom it
was impossible to treat casually
and to whom it was quite easy
to defer. He has an even tempera-
ment and is seldom deeply angry
but his face will suggest restless
ness, impatience, and finally an
noyance if the circumstances pro-
woke it. The speed and pertinence
OF his mind offer a conversational
challenge under which few rest
easily. He is a good, even avid,
listener when he is interested but
when he is not, one gets immedi-
ately the feeling that he is pom
dering the credentials of the per-
son who is talking.
Very Compassionate
He has been described many
times as cold but he is in fact a
very compassionate individual who
does not like to see people hurt
and who never appears to harbor
vindictivenesS toward his political
enemies. He has dislike of giving
offense and a distaste for unpleas-
ant scenes. The suggestion OF

WHERE HE STANDS NOW
By ALEX r. PRESTON
star Staff Writer

Did Senator Byrd's influence
over his long-powerful Demo-
cratic organization in Virginia
wax or wane as a result of Tues
days election?
To some it appears he gained
Pyrrhic victory when Vice Pres
ident Nixon carried Virginia at a
time a bitter struggle for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor is building up in his own
State.
Senator Byrd's refusal to the
very end of the recent preSi-
Dental campaign to indorse the
Democratic ticket was a major
factor in Virginia voting for the
losing Republican cause.
The question uppermost in the
minds of Virginians and many
others now is whether his per-
sonal power will remain undim-
inished in the gubernatorial con-
test - an intra-party battle in
which one of his sons, State Sem
ator Harry F. Byrd, jr.. figures
prominently in the speculation.
Today's news section carries an
announcement Of 1t. Gov. A.
E. S. Stephens as the first to
enter the race for Governor. Mr..
Stephens, who has been a mem
ber Of the Byrd organization all
his political life, Is not expected
to have the senior Senator's
backing.
Gov. Almonds Position
4, That is because the Lieutenant
Governor sided with Governor AL
mond's more moderate approach

rather than integrate them under

Mr.. Stephens also bucked State
Senator Byrd at the last session
Of the Legislature in siding with
the administration on taxation
and spending programs.

be the senior Senator's son or
someone else. undoubtedly will
enter the field along with, per-

position is somewhere in between.

claim allegiance to "the organiza-
ton"

NucIeur Force

If the De Gaulle view prevails,
Mr.. Adenauer warned, it will be
difficult to convince West Ger
many that the growing German
Army should not itself become a
national nuclear force. Under
lining his concern, he hinted that
the rift over NATO policy might
split the Common Market, the
European Economic Community of
which Germany and France are
members.

or publicly supporting Senator
Kennedy for President.
Without Byrd's Help
Those who follow this view
reason thus:
II the Democrats had carried
Virginia. the argument could have
been: "See what we can do with
out Byrd's help"
Since the Republicans carried
the State by some 10000 votes.
there are those who say this is
a victory for Senator Byrd, won
at the expense Of some of his
longtime political associates who
were out beating the bushes for
Kennedy votes.
Among those who either pub
licly Endorsed the national ticket
or actively campaigned in its be-
half, besides Gov. Almond. were
two former Governors, John S.
Battle and Colgate w. Darden. jr.;
National Committeeman Sidney S.
Kellam and the National Commit
teewoman, Mrs. John Garland
Pollard; State Democratic Chair
man Thomas H. Blanton; six of
the eight Democratic members of
the House of Representatives; rs
of the 1872 Democratic members of
the General Assembly and luke

when the heat was on in the cam
paign.
Gov. Almond at a news confer
ence last week tried to rub balm on
the wounds. He reminded reporters
the Democratic Party rallied after
the Republican Eisenhower victor
les in 1852 and 1856. The Governor
did not say what everyone remem-
bered-that Senator Byrd declined
to go along with the Democratic
ticket but in both of those elec-
tions, the top organization men
did not stake their personal pres
tige as they did this year.
The Conservative Angle
The Governor said, optimistic
ally. Virginia Democrats are in
better shape today than they were
in either 1852 or 1856, but he did
add:

tions in the election it is hard for
me to identify who might be the

Federal Judgeship

A Federal judgeship opening now
exists in the western district of
Virginia. There will be other life
time postmasterships to fill as well
as appointments of United States
attorneys and other political
plumS.
Senator Kennedy promised Vir-
ginians to consult with local lead
ers on making appointments. but
he did not say, specifically, which
leaders.
Those who believe Senator Byrd's
influence has diminished say he
won the battle but lost the war for
President.
Others holding to the view that
his power will grow, have Senator

most powerful political organiza-
ton in Virginia, to back them up.

Contrasted to the belief that
Senator Byrd's influence would
have waned regardless Of the pres
idential winner, is this view:
The Senator will be in even
stronger favor with predominantly
conservative minded Virginiars
after Congress convenes next year.
Senator Kennedy, as President,
Is bound to offer at least some Of
the ultra-liberal legislative propo-
sails advocated in campaign prom
ises or included in the Democratic
Party platform.
Examples of legislation that
would encounter Southern con-
servaIlves' strong opposition in
clude repeal Of authorization for
State right-to-work laws; broader
civil rights: medical care tied to
social security; Federal aid to
education including teachers SAL
aries; a SIPS per hour minimum
wage; public housing, housing for
the aged and dormitorieS for col
legeS.
When Southern opposition de-
velops on any too-liberal program.
all that Senator Byrd has to do is
speak against it on the floor.
VirginianS would be certain to
get the meaning. The Senator
would not have to tell them. You
see what this man has brought
you. You worked to put him in the
White House. I did not"
On the matter of patronage,
nearly everyone expects President
Kennedy to bypass Virginia's two
SenatorS-Byrd for his silence and
Robertson whose mild Endorsement
was a pledge to vote the straight
ticket without mentioning any
names.
