Cautious Comment

Another indication Of q probable
moderate legislative approach by
the Kennedy administration -
again it should be added, "at least,
at the outset"-is the cautious
comment on what efforts. If any,
will be made, or encouraged, to
change the "filibuster" rule in the
Senate and to clip the wings of
the conservative dominated House
Rules Committee, often an inn
passable barrier to liberal legis-
lation.
Senator Mansfield, and others,
have advised against any "divisive"
opening moves in Congress. Ger
tainly, an attempt to curb the fill
buster would unite the powerful
Southern bloc against it. These
are the pragmatic terms in whicn
the problem was put by Mr..
Mansfield.
II think that (Senate rules
change) should come at the right
time. at the right place and in the
right circumstances, and that the
main thing now is to get the
program through"
Until there is evidence available
to the contrary, this might very
well be regarded as a summation
OF ths~ Kennedy administration
attitude on how to get along with,

Jobs for Johnson

On Tuesday, the President-elect
announced that he had assign
ments in two other important
fields for his running -mate.
First, he appointed him to the
Craftsmanship OF the Committee
on Governmental Contracts, with
a directive to bar racial and reli-
gious discrimination in hiring
persons who provide goods and
services to the Federal Govern
ment.
Second. he named the tall
Texan as chairman Of the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Council, q group charged with
establishing goals in the explora-
tion Of space and resolving con-
ticts between military and civilian
space projects.
In connection with the anti
discrimination job, the specula-
ton Immediately rose that Mr..
johnson aimed to cast himself in
the liberal image so that, by 1868,
he would no longer be regarded
as decentralization as q South
erner or Texan. Then. according
to this line Of thought. he would
be ready, perhaps successfully, to
seek again the Democratic presi-
dental nomination. Mr.. Kennedy,
with extraordinary singleness OF
purpose. ran for the prize for four
years. Can Mr.. johnson do it for
eight?

Clear Goals

There is to be no riding of.
simultaneously. in all directions.
The goals are to be kept clearly
within the limits Of what is be-
lieved to be politically possible.
First things will be tackled first.
This means that an effort will
be made to redeem certain Of the
major pledges Of the campaign
and the platform. At a news con-
ference in Palm Beach. Fla. where
he is working and resting away
from the harsh Washington win
ter, Mr.. Kennedy was asked about
important legislation Of the forth
coming Congress. His reply:
well, without attempting to
set up q priority list. there are
some matters, Of course, Of par
ticular importance-medical care
for the aged. aid to education, the
housing bill. minimum wage, aid
to depressed areas"
All these problems were rather
thoroughly discussed during the
campaign-by both Mr.. Kennedy
and the man he vanQuished. 800
to 219, according to Mondays vote
in the electoral college. An aid to
distressed areas bill passed both
Houses last year, only to be We
toed by President Eisenhower.
Other items on the list passed
either the Senate or the House.

Appointments:
Old Friends

Criticism over the appoint
ment Of Bobby Kennedy to the
cabinet grew last week as Presi-
dent EisenhOwer's disappOint-
ment over Republican DillOn'S
acceptance of Treasury post be-
came known.
In picking the men around him,
for the cabinet and other high
executive branch posts, President
elect Kennedy has leaned, Curl
ously, on a combination Of old
friends and complete strangers.
Several key men. Secretary Of
State Dean Rusk and Defense
Secretary Mcnamara for example,
Mr.. Kennedy had never met until
he interviewed them just prior to
their appointments. In such cases
there is. Of course, no suggestion
Of any political or personal award
involved.
On the other hand. there were,
and legitimately in the American
political scheme Of things, key
posts awarded by Mr.. Kennedy to
men who helped elect him. One
Of these men. however. is his
brother and this introduces an
entirely different element. Never
before has q President-elect or q
President appointed q brother to
Q cabinet post. ~ u

succeed him. Mr.. Kennedy re-
signed as Senator last Thursday.
His friend, who was an usher in
his wedding, is Benjamin A.
Smith II, Of Gloucester. Mr..
Smith, a, will serve for two years.
He has repeatedly agreed not to
seek reelection. F. '.r
Question: Does this mean Bobby
or the President-elec younger
brother, Ted, plans to try for the
Senate in 1862?
On top of this. r. Sargent Shri-
yer. brother-in-law of the Presi-
dent-elect, told reporters last week
that he had been offered posts in
four different Federal agencies.
This has prompted the wags to
ask what if any, spots are being
reserved for, another brother-in-
law. Peter Lawford, and his Hol-
lyWood gang, including Frank ST.
natra. the leader. Sammy Davis,
jr., and Dean Martin. f..

Naturalization

The other resolution was spon-
sored by India, Yugoslavia and
six African and Asian nations. 1t
would have provided for the
naturalization Of Congo'S armed
forces and liberated all political
prisoners, including ex-Premier
Patrice Lumumha.
With the defeat of the two
resolutions, the Congo problem
was left in the same perilous
limbo where it has reposed since
the United Nations assumed
the obligation Of maintaining
peace within the fledging African
state. With no clear mandate
from the u. NJ, Mr.. Hammar-
skiold must continue to interpret
the wishes of the majority of the
member nations without Offend
ing the Cornmunist-driven mi
nority to the point where his fur
ther efforts might be sabotaged.
The Congo will remain the most
pressing item Of business on the
agenda when the General As
Sembly reconvenes in March. y
In closing statement to the
session, Mr.. Hammarskjold spoke
sharply of the dual failure" Of
the General Assembly and the
Security Council to provide him
with new directives for the U. MS
efforts in the Congo. But he made
it plain that he will not be de-
tered from exercising the powers
previously placed in his hands.
Naturally" said Mr.. Hammar-
skiold, "the operation will be con-
tinued under the previous de-
cisionS."
Two days before adjourning the
General Assembly adopted q
resolution recognizing the respon-
sibility Of the United Nations in

How Far?

The public. therefore. Is condi-
toned for action in any or all of
these fields. There is no high
drama to be played over them.
But there is one point-an i'm
portant one-still to be decided.
How far will the Kennedy pro-
posals go in each Of the five legis-
lative areas he mentioned?
Clearly, If Mr.. Kennedy should
seek the whole loaf-broad expen-
sive Federal programs-he very
likely would be disappointed. The
signs seem to point. however, to
his seeking half q loaf, a course
which could enable him to steer
through some sort Of advance leg
islation In those areas he deems
most important.
In one major field. Mr.. Rayburn
indicated that Mr. Kennedy's
campaign promises would have to
be trimmed to what is politically
possible. This concerns Federal
7 aid to teachers salarieS-endorsed
by Mr.. Kennedy and opposed by
Mr.. Nixon, the G. o. p, and many
Southern congressman.
Questioned at the Palm Beach
news conference on Tuesday about
aid for teachers, Mr.. Rayburn
indicated he did not see early
action on anything but school con-
Struction in the aid-to-education
field.
II may not agree with a lot of
people. but I think the first step
we should take would be in making
additional classrooms for the stu
dents who want to go to school, I"
he declared, adding, significantly:
Then the other matter may come
later"

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Kennedys Pragmatic Program

President-eIect Kennedy, hav-
ing picked . Cabinet, last week
met with Democratic congress
siOnal leaders to map his legis-
lative strategy.
During the Presidential cam.
paign, the citizen who listened to
the impassioned speeches by the
vigorous young Democrat, John F.
Kennedy. might have got the
impression that, If elected. he
planned to set Washington afire.
He might have recalled Franklin
D. RooSevelt's first 100 days in the
+ 1898 New Deal.
But by last week this hope, or
fear. was disSipated both by words
and deeds!
A week ago Friday Mr.. Kennedy
completed the selection Of his
Cabinet. A listing of the 10 chief
advisers and administrators Of the
new administration indicated to
most observers that the Kennedy
way, at least at the outset, would
be the broad. middle way-not too
much to the left and certainly
not to the right.
Then on Tuesday, Mr.. Kennedy
met with Vice PreSident-elect Lyn-
don B. johnson and his two legis-
lative leaders, Senator Mansfield
of Montana, prospective majority
leader. and Speaker Rayburn. to
discuss the Kennedy administra-
tion's first legislative program.
When the quartet from the New
Frontier met the press later. the
impression was that If one wished
to call the incoming leader q Glib
eral" the adjective "pragmatic"
should precede.

The General Assembly Of the
United Nations ended one Of its
most turbulent sessions last
week and, after a final deadlock
on the Congo, adjourned until
March Z.
Things We're never really the
same after Premier Khrushchev
left. But the show must go on
even though the prima donna has
deserted the cast and the General
Assembly of the United Nations
remained dutifully in session two
months after the departure Of its
Soviet star.
Last Wednesday one Of the
stormiest and least credible Of
United Nations sessions came to
an end. After final predictable
deadlock on the Congo, the Gen.
eral Assembly adjourned until
March Z and the delegates of 80
nations were released to pursue
their own private, non-global
problems through the Christmas
season. -
The three-month session of the
General Assembly left fostering
wounds and scars which will not
soon disappear from the delihera-
tive body which has. for the Is
years since World War II, repre-
sented mankind's best hope for
enduring peace. But there was a
triumph in the mere survival Of
the United Nations as an effective
organ for rendering the dissonant
chords Of the cold war into a
medley which. however lacking in
harmony, never quite shattered
the inner ear.

Back on the Job

After the appointment was an
nounced by Mr.. Kennedy on the
front steps Of his Georgetown
home, Mr.. Dillon told reporters
that neither Mr.. Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon objected "if
I felt this was something in the
national interest and If we were
to work toward a sound fiscal
policy, which is the case"
Last week, however, more Of
the story came out. Neither Mr..
Eisenhower or Mr.. Nixon. it
seems, wanted Mr.. Dillon to serve
In the Kennedy cabinet.
According to the New York
Times, White House informants
reported that Mr.. Eisenhower ad-
vised Mr.. Dillon not to accept the
post unless he were promised, in
writing, a free hand in fiscal and
monetary policies.
Even should he receive such q
promise IA highly unlikely event)
he probably should not accept be-
cause, it was said, the President
felt that the incoming administra-
tion could not live up to both its
platform pledges and to such q
promise to Mr.. Dillon.
On Friday. Mr.. Kennedy took
note Of the Dillon affair, declar-
ing that he and his Secretary.
designate were In accord on fiscal
policy and on steps the new ad-
ministration should take to move
the American economy ahead.
He knew Of no objection to Mr..
Dilon's acceptance on the part

Navy Post

This concerns the post Of Sec
retary Of the Navy. FDR's son
Franklin. jr.. is said to want it.
He has both a quid-pro-quo and
q sentimental claim to make.
He campaigned hard for Mr..
Kennedy in the West Virginia
primary. a crucial one in which
the President-elect beat Senator
Humphrey and the religious issue.
Mr.. Roosevelt was a naval cffi-
Ger with a proud record in World
War II. His illustrious father once
served as an Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy. He is popular with
high naval officers today.
Opposition to his appointments:
however, has arisen and the name
OF c. Dan Martin, "A, Of Santa
Monica. Calf, a Navy veteran
and another of Mr.. Kennedy's
Harvard classmates, has come to
the fore.
Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor MIR.
Martin could be expected to back
the Symington- Gilpatric Penta-
gon reorganization proposal. but
Mr.. Roosevelt, because of his
name and political leverage,
would doubtless be more effective
in this area.

Israel:
Atom Power

Israel confirmed reports that
1t is building a nuclear reactOr
which will increase its potential
to produce an atom bomb, but
declared the react0r will be
used solely for peaceful pur-
poses.
The atomic club" is the most
exclusive international group in
the world. Its members, each ca
pable of manufacturing enough
atomic destruction to devaState
the earth, hope to keep it that
way. ..-.
The United States, Britain, the
Soviet Union and France are the
only nations which build atom
, bombs and other nuclear weapons.
The thought that Nikita Khrush-
chev holds the power to destroy a
substantial part of the civilized
world is tolerable only in the light
of the knowledge that Fidel Cas-
tro does not. We have learned to
live with the threat Of a calculated
atomic attack by the Soviet, but
the idea of a world in which any
Nation has the power Of atomic
destruction is inconceivable.
Thus tremorS spread through
the Western world with the report
that Israel is building nuclear
reactor which could give it the
potential to m anufacture an
atomic bomb. The reports alone
might imperil the uneasy truce be-
tween Israel and her Arab neigh
bors. And If Israel threatened her
Mid-East enemies with atomic at
tack, the Soviet could be expected
to supply the Arab nations with
atomic weapons.
Israel's confirmation Of the re-
ports sought to ease the worlds
jitters. The reactor is being built,
with French help, and it is Of the
natural uranium type which pro-
duces plutonium-enough pluto
mum, by outside estimates, to
produce an atom bomb year.
But Premier David Ben-Gurion
said the 24.000-kilowatt capacity
reactor would be devoted to the
needs OF industry, agriculture,
health and science" As further
reinsurance, the Israeli govern
ment said students and scientists
Of friendly countries will be in
vited to visit the reactor when it
is completed, In about three years.
The first news Of the Israeli
reactor had produced hurried
conferences at the State Depart
ment and the White House, along
with privately voiced irritation
that Israel had kept the secret of
her atomic plans from the United
States. American officials said
they had been led to believe the
reactor was a textile plant; the
truth repeatedly came from the
Central Intelligence Agency.
But this Government was off,
cially willing by the end Of the
week to accept the Israeli aSsur-
ances. Construction of the reactor
docs not represent a cause for
special concern" the State De-
partment said in a statement.
President NaSSer Of the United
Arab Republic did not agree. He
told Port Said crowd Friday that
if Israel begins to make an atomic
bomb sit means the beginning of
war between u.s."
The volatile Egyptian leader
offered another explanation for
the Israeli reactor-the "imperi-
alist countries" he said. were
paving the way to arm Israel with
atomic weapons and then claim
she had produced them herself.
If Israel obtains atomic bombs,
he added hlusteringly, then we
shall get atomic bombs, no matter
what the price. And If Israel can
make atomic bombs, so can we" +"
