POTOMAC FEVER

Election night like the month Of March inside out

The stock market up Wall Street decided Kennedy
received overwhelming mandate to pick this country up
and move it sideways.

Well before midnight Of
election day the seals were
broken on the mystery Of the
1860 presidential campaign
and the electoral picture
made clear.
It revealed that President
Eisenhower had not been
able. in his belated appear
ance in the contest, to put
his Vice President across. The
tide ran strong and true.
even as the prophets had
predicted, for Jack Kennedy
of Massachusetts. The Prot
estant Deep South held true
to the. party of its fathers.
And in New England and the
great industrial States. where
the Roman Catholic vote is
heaviest, there was a great
swing from the Republicans
back to the Democrats.
1t was a whiplash backfire
to those who tried to say to
America that a Christian Of
the Roman Communion could
not be trusted. despite his
pledge. 10 uphold his coun-
try's Constitution. AS such.
1t was a triumph not merely
for Senator Kennedy and the
Democratic Party, but also
for America and its ideals. its
dream and its promise.
1t was apparent In the
victory that young Jack Ken
nedy, who called on the
American people to move
forward in strength and as
surance. had duplicated the
political genius of Franklin
D. Roosevelt. He had brought
together again in coalition
many Of the diverse elements
Of conservatism. liberalism,
labor, and the minority
groups. which make the
Democratic Party invincible
when they are together.
Thus was vindicated the
formula Of the national con.

don johnson was chosen from

DAVID LAWRENCE
British Parliamentary System Is Called
Better Suited to Leadership Continuity

Do the American people
have the faintest idea Of
what they have done to their
Government by their votes
on election day? Do they
know the dangers and even
possible tragedy Of transition
in Government as one ad-
ministration takes over from
another?
Some day the American
people ought to be told the
whole truth so they will be
persuaded to change the
present system. which Is
antiquated and Ill suited for
. nuclear age.
What better time, for in
stance. for q foreign govern
ment to begin playing with
fire and to precipitate q crisis
than today? Virtually all the
Administrations top policy
makers and experienced ON
cials must begin to pack their
bags. Their interest now turns
to their private AFFAIRS. The
workload is going to be some
body else's responsibility in q
few weeks anyway.
AS for the knowledge and
experience accumulated in
nearly eight years Of service,
these are to be tossed away
as a new personnel takes over
and starts to learn what 1t is
all about.
President-elect Kennedy is
Q conscientious individual.
who will try to make a good
President. But he must learn
first the intimate background
Of public affairs. This takes
not q few weeks but many
months and perhaps years.
It's q high price for the
Nation to pay.
Is there some other way?
The British and many other
English speaking countries
have o better system. It is
called the parliamentary sys-
tenn. It requires the electorate
to pick in an election their
representatives in the ma
tional legislature. and these
representatives select the

leader who becomes respon-
sible for the executive as well
as the legislative branches Of
the government.
II the party in power makes
mistakes and loses the con-
fidence of the people. 1t can
be ousted at any time. or o
new legislature can be elected.
A perm anent personnel,
known as the career service,
functions continuously in high
posts. irrespective Of the party
in power. Thus is continuity
assured and transition made
smooth and effective in the
shortest possible time.
It isn't a perfect system.
and the American people
could doubtless improve upon
1t with certain safeguards.
But it is a democratic system
and one that is Immediately
responsive to the will of the
people.
Thus. when an American
President is elected. he can
make serious blunders but he
cannot be ousted for four
years except by the impeach-
ment process. This is q long
time in modern government.
Back in 1913. just before his
inauguration, President-elect
Woodrow Wilson was asked
his views on the then pro-
posed constitutional amend
ment limiting a President to
a single term Of six years as
recommended in the 1912
Democratic national plat
form. Mr.. Wilson wrote a
letter to Congress in which
he said rightly that four
years is often too long q time
before the Nation can get a
new President and sometimes
too short a time to give q
man who has initiated q
reform program that the
people might desire. He
limited then that the United
States might someday come
to some form Of responsible
government by cabinet. which

closely with the left wing of
his party.
This indispensable quality,
which Senator johnson per-
sonified, was an aura of rea-
scned stability and modera-
ton. For ten years at least
this has been a country sus-
picious Of loud theological
trumpeting and favorable to-
ward quiet competence and
reasonableness in its public
men. Again. this mood. too.
has been re-confirmed.
In the new Kennedy ad-
ministration there will be,
Of course. no place for ultra
conservatism. But a mode
rate conservatism, looking
ahead and not backward, will
by no means be outlawed.
Nothing real will be turned
over to the bowling extrem-
lists on the Democratic Party
left-Americans for Demo-
cratic Action; the more ag-
gressive Of the Big Labor
leaders; the politicians who
wish to foment and so trade
upon the happily abating
racial and sectional differ
ences in this Nation.
1t must be realized, for an
example. that the new Con-
greSs, on the basis of the
slight gains made by the Re
publicans. may be a bit more
conservative-minded, If any,
thing. than the old.
The nature of Senator
Kennedy's victory forecasts
what he will do. He will
proceed with full respect for
the views - particularly the
economic views of those
who voted against him. He is
fully aware that substantially
half the people preferred
Richard M. Nixon; that his
mandate. though genuine, is
also thin mathematically.
Calm reason, not enoting.

CHICAGO, Oct. % (AP).-
The executive secretary of the
National Association Of Evan
gelicals said today 1t is abso-
lutely false to imply that his
groups observance Of Reforma-
ton Sunday viii be a personal
attack on Senator Kennedy or
an anti-Kennedy rally.
"Our concern is not with the
individual Catholic but with the
hierarchial system Of the
Roman Catholic church and its
stated official opposition to the
separation Of church and staff, -
DR.. George L. Ford said.
The statement was in reply
to q charge by Bruce L: Felknor,
executive director Of the Fair
Campaign Practices Commit
tee, that the association is try
ing to turn Reformation SUM-
day into a gigantic anti-Ken-
nedy rally.
The association, with head
quarters in Wheaton, H.,
claims 10 million Evangelical
Protestant members. None Of
the larger Protestant denom-
nations belongs to it. They are
afflliated with the National
Council Of Churches.
Reformation Sunday, Octo-

man Catholic Church.

Anti-Catho|ic
Sermon Mailed
Before July
Ry ths Aasoeiatea prea.

Senate investigators delvine
into the anonymous distribu-
ton Of an anti Catholic sermon
said yesterday the material was
sent out before Senator Ken
nedy was nominated for Presi-
dent.
Thus, the material apparent
ly was an attempt to block the
nomination Of Senator Ken
nedy. a Roman Catholic, by the
Democratic convention in July
rather than one to defeat him
at the polls next month.
A Senate investigator, Roy A.
Shear, said earlier there is evi-
dence that Texas oil million
aire H. L. Hunt may have paid
for printing and mailing some
Of the material.
An afidavit by Ralph B.
Raughley Of Great Neck, N. Y,
publisher. said printing and
distribution Of the literature
was paid for by John A. Curing
ton Of Dallas, in behalf Of Mr..
Hunt.
Bipartisan Probes
This afddavit was obtained
by Mr.. Sheah and James H.
Duffy, Republican and Demo-
cratic investigators for the Sen.
ate Privileges and Election Sub
committee.
The investigation was UNDER
taken on complaint Of the
Democratic organization Of Mas
sau County. N. X. which con-
tended that the anti Catholic
literature was circulated in an
effort to defeat Senator Ken
nedy for the presidency, the
investigators said.e,
