Those Who Identity With Nixon

congressional session on the
much examined mind Of the
voter. The Nixon experts do
not think it produced much
Of anything Of a direct ma.
ture. The people didn't pay
too much attention to It.
It did. however, deprive
the Democrats Of certain as
sets. It proved that Senators
Kennedy and johnson could
not control their own major
ity. The collapse of the ses-
sion destroyed the image Of
Senator Kennedy as a dy-
manic, forceful young man
who could exact loyalty and
fervor from his followers.
Because Democrats did con-
tribute to the legislative dis
aSter, 8 enator Kennedy is
deprived of an argument that
a Democratic majority will
carry out the party wishes.
None of this directly assists
the G. o. p, but indirectly
it is Of considerable value be-
cause it limits the Kennedy
attack.
Mr.. Nixon's staff sees Sem
ator Johnson's failure to win
the South as the greatest
single unexpected dividend
thus far. They felt all along
his presence on the ticket
would make for difficulty in
liberal and labor groups. But
they, like most Democratic
observers, thought when the
Texan was persuaded to &C
cept, that he would bring the
South whooping in his wake.
That he may not be able to
deliver his own State is to-
tally unanticipated, and fur
ther, to find that Virginia,
Florida, Tennessee and North
Carolina are touch and go,
with Mr.. Nixon favored, is
like finding the bank has
made a large error and ones
balance is fat beyond belief.

Senator Kennedy said in

favorite theme, which is that

that early polls show that

it, Of course. but the wide
spread Interpretation that

dency II any action came UP
that would require him TO
violate" his conscience is
certainly unfortunate.
The average man doesn't
like the idea that anybody
would even consider resign
ing the presidency for any
reason whatsoever - except
possibly Ill health. Nor is 1t
deemed wise to admit that
there is even q possibility Of
a decision arising in the
presidency which, when
based on q religious view
point, could violate the ma

Senator Kennedy's speech
before the Greater Houston
Ministerial Association at
Houston, Texas, was mo-
tivated plainly by an honest
desire to clear up all doubts
as to where the Democratic
nominee stands on the So
called religious ISSUE" But
whoever advised him didn't
anticipate the possible mean

the words used. Here is the
exact quotation in the pre-
pared speech as given out in

Different Atmosphere
Exactly one year ago tomor-
row, when Mr.. Khrushchev
arrived in Washington, the
atmosphere was vastly diff
ferent-cool but courteous and
hopeful. Then the whole
country was in effect open to
Mr.. Khrushchev and in the
next 13 days he toured from
coast-to-coast and spent long
hours in conference with Mr..
Eisenhower at Camp David, Md.
Their understanding reached
at that meeting lifted the i'm

for months had hung over West
Berlin and thus cleared the
way for q summit conference.

assault on Mr.. Eisenhower after

United States foreign policy was

Kennedy Will
Have to be His
Brothers Keeper
BY James NARROW
tR News Analyst

V1AoI1I1NS L S1N W. LII q Wei
acute sense President-E Elect John
F. Kennedy will be his brothers
keeper.
He must take unique respon-
>sibility for what is or isn't done
by his brother, Robert, whom he
put in his cabinet as Attorney
General.
While all presidents bear ulti-
mate responsibility for their cabi-
net members, each in the past
to some extent could disassociate
himself when a cabinet member
goofed.
President Truman, for example,
in 1852 sacked his Attorney Gen
eral, j. Howard McGrath, for
firing Newbold Morris whom Tru-
man had asked to investigate
government corruption.
But no other president has had
his brother in the cabinet. Thus,
each could argue he didn't know
beforehand what a cabinet men,
Der was up to.
The new President can't take
that kind of an out in the case of
his brother and for a reason that
goes beyond mere blood ties.
The Kennedys are extremely
close, constantly consult each
other, and repeatedly, think
pretty much alike.
So it can be assumed that when
the new attorney general does or
does not take major action it
is because the President is not
only fully aware of his decision
and approves, but wants it that
way.
This close relationship is per-
haps the best argument the broth
ers can make to critics of Roberts
appointment to such high office.
The critics say the 35-year-old
lawyer of the Kennedy family
would never have been picked for
Attorney General by any other
president if for no reason than
he doesn't have the legal stature.
Here's an example of why the
main credit or blame will land on
President Kennedy for his broth
er's performance: What will the
Justice Department., headed by
Robert Kennedy as Attorney Gen
eral, do in the Field of Civil
Rights?
If he acts vigorously, it will
antagonize southern whites, par
ticularly in Congress where the
new President will need all the
votes he can get for his legisla-
tive program.
If the Justice Department drags
its feet on Civil Rights it will
antagonize Negroes and Liberals
who helped elect the new Presi-
dent.
It's delicate problem and just
because it is-either way it goes
the new President will almost
certainly be held more RESPONSE
BILE than his brother because it
can be assumed Robert on
question as important as this
acted under Johns say-so.
Since Robert Kennedy worked
tirelessly to make his brother
President, it can be taken for
granted he will work just as hard
to make his Presidency a success.
Robert Kennedy is credited
with being tough, quick and
shrewd. He's a good politician, as
he demonstrated by managing his
brothers Presidential campaign.
AS for judgment on strictly
legal problems-he can get all the
advice he might need from law
yers in the Justice Department.
It sWarms with them.
