Mr.. Kennedy's Conqress

In the light of the Tuesday returns,
both presidential and congressional,
President-elect Kennedy will face some
new and demanding tests of political
skill when he returns to Capitol Hill,
after January 20, as the Nations 35th
Chief Executive.
One of the persuasive sounding
campaign arguments was that Demo-
cratic victory in the presidential contest
would bring an end to divided govern
ment-to the circumstance of one party
controlling the executive branch and
another controlling the Congress, with
the prospect always present Of relative
Stalemate between the two. The returns
Of last Tuesday appear to have elimi-
mated this condition, to Democratic
satisfaction.
For his part, Mr.. Kennedy repeat
edly made it clear during his campaign
that he intended to be forceful figure
In the White House-exercising to the
fullest all the powers of the Chief Ex-
ecutive that are specified and some
that are not" Significantly perhaps, in
the light of what actually has happened,
he once said that the next President
must be "a man who will not retreat in
the face of pressure from his congress
Sional leaders, who will not let down
those supporting his views on the floor"
Despite the narrowneSS of his victory,
and despite the current Interpretation
that a victory of this proportion gives
him mo mandate" he will have many
powers and weapons to support him in
his expressed determination.
AS a matter of practical politics,
however, there is another side to this
case. While the new Congress will be
Democratic, the party'S margin of con-
troll has been trimmed slightly rather
than increased. And in the trimming,
particularly in the House, the relative
power Of the conservative Democrats
has increased. Most of the party losers
were identified with the liberal wing
six of them, for example, holding places
on the House Civil Service Committee
alone. This does not necessarily mean
that the House majority will be reluc-
tant to follow recommendations of the
new President. On most occasions, it
undoubtedly will accept them cheer
fully. There may we'll be other times,
however, when the conservative in
stincts Of longtime senior Southern
Representative, several of them holding
committee chairmanships, will have a
go-slow effect on building the legislative
highway to the much-advertised new
frontiers.
On the minority side, too, there is
likely to be an increase in the anti
liberal brake pressure Neither Senator
Dirksen of Illinois nor Representative
Halleck Of Indiana, Republican leaders,
can be called liberal, and their oc-
casional service to that cause in recent
years stemmed primarily from loyalty
to President of their own party. This
motivation will be missing, of course, in
the 87th Congress. A loose alliance with
the conservative Southern Democrats,
often In effect in the past, is apt to be
in evidence more often in the future.
In Short while there will not be
divided government in terms of party
control, there may be times when action
on social legislation, at least-is i'm
portantly affected by division in phi
losophy. To many, perhaps very nearly
half of those who voted on Tuesday,
this is not an unwelcome prospect.

PARIS. q

ThfC10.
It is not only a new party
and a new President. It Is a
new generation that will take
over the leadership of the
United States and the free
world next January.
This is perhaps the most
striking reaction abroad to
John F. K Kenne dy's hair
breadth election Tuesday. In
the last 48 hours. the Macmil-
lans, Adenauers, De Gaulles
and Khrushchevs of the world
all seem to have aged tre-
mendously.
That would not have been
true If Vice President Nixon
had won. In contrast to his
Democratic opponent, Mr..
Nixon succeeded somehow in
establishing the image Of a
much older - If not much
wiser man. Senator Ken
nedy's quality Of aggressive
and flamboyant youthfulness
has been his. trademark from
the outset. And to judge from
the general comment in Eu-
rope today, not the least of
his assets.
The youthfulness of the
PreSident-elect accounts for
the energy and dynamism
that is expected from the new
administration. It's not sim
ply a question of a full time
President determined to "get
America moving again" after
a period when American lead
ership has often seemed IA
tigued and faltering. There
is also the figure of a mod
ern man with steady nerves
and nimble mental reflexes
equipped for the hard de-
mands Of his age.
These assets, which are
very widely recognized, also
raise certain questions. One
being asked most frequently
is how a young American
President will be able to deal
on the personal level with his
far older friends and antag-
onists. Specifically, it is being
asked, will President-elect
Kennedy be able to talk to
Gen. De Gaulle or Mr.. Ade-
nauer or Mr.. Khrushchev
with the assurance and au-
thority that his position de-
mands?
Summitry Pressures Sure
This, at least the way most
Europeans figure it, is one of
the more imminent problems
the new administration will
face. Mr.. Khrushchev for his
part has been making mildly
optimistic noises about get
ting Soviet-American rela-
tions back ION the line they
were following in Franklin
Roosevelt's time" Nothing is
more certain than that the
strongest pressures will be
brought to bear for a new
summit conference as soon as
possible after the new ad-
miniStration takes over.
So far as Senator Kennedy,
himself. is concerned, the
prospect of a summit meeting
is probably not very alarm
ing. Few people seem less
easily intimidated by the cir
cumstances of the company
in which they happen to find

Writers Strike Will Stall Production of TeleyisiOn Films

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., REThe Writers Guild of America struck Hollywood television production companies Saturday
 The strike, if prolonged, could practically halt protection of TV films here.
 The Guild struck against the Alliance of Television Film Pro- ducers and against movie studios which produce TV shows.
 There were reports that some producers had prefilmed many episodes of TV series to provide a backlog and that they have per sonal service contracts with some writers. But a spokesman of the Writers Guild said the Guild con- tract overrides any personal ser vice agreement.
 The Guilds contract with the TV Alliance expired Friday night.
 The writers contract with movie studios expired Nov. IT. One of the chief unsettled issues in this dispute is the Guilds de- mand for a share of proceeds from sales of post-1948 movies to television.

Franks Refusal Of
 Doubleday Insurance COnfuses Bomb Probe

WESTPORT, Conn.,, R-Julian Frank, who met death in the pos sible suicide-bombing of an air liner, declined an option for double indemnity in half-mil- lion-dollar life insurance policy
 This was described Sunday night by Edward Boyd Jr., who sold the $5O0,00O policy to Frank.
 Boyd has said Frank inquired about an insurance policy in the neighborhood of $100,000, but that he himself showed the at torney "how to own substantially more" insurance. It led to the $5O0,0O0 policy, Boyd said.
 Franks declining the double in- demnity option added to the mys- tery surrounding his death and the January crash of the New York to-Miami airliner in North Carolina. Frank and B others lost their lives in the crash, ap- parently caused by bomb blast.
 Since the tragedy, numerous financial and legal difficulties that beset Frank have come to light. Some authorities leaned toward the theory that Frank car ried a bomb aboard the flight.

Attorney Suicide
 Had Fear of Being Killed In Plane

NEW YORK, R - Authorities are piecing together the tangled background of Julian Andrew Frank, the heavily insured young lawyer suspected of setting off suicide bomb in plane that crashed with 34 persons aboard.
 The Manhattan District Attor- ney's office Friday pictured Frank as man enmeshed in fi- nancial dealings that could have wrecked his promising career.
 Friends saw him as a tall, lean man with a pretty wife and two handsome children who lived in an expensive suburban home, a man who could be as happy-go- lucky as he could be darkly breeding, and man with hor- TOT of planes and strange pre- delection of death.
 The District Attorney said Frank, 32, was facing investiga- tions of two complaints alleging embezzlement - one involving Manhattan real estate transac- ton and the other regarding a loan for hospital.
 Insurance man Edward Boyd Jr., a friend in Franks home town of Westport, Conn.,, de- scribed. the young lawyer as ia young man in a hurry" with a dynamic personality. He said Frank often had expressed fear of flying.
 Look, I'm going to get killed in an airplane,' Boyd quoted Frank as saying.
 Boyd said he eventually talked Frank into buying a half-million- dollar insurance policy in Mo- vember. Frank also had $100,- 900 accident policy taken out last April, another $100,00O accident policy taken out in November, and three accident policies of $62,000 each taken out in De- cember.
 The beneficiaries were his wife, former model Janet Wag- ner, and their children.
 At her Westport home, Mrs. Frank sobbed: q will never be- ieve the insinuations they are making about him. I will never believe them"

Geneva Offshore Limits Compromise May Set New Boundary at 6 Miles

SEATTLE, R - A compromise, which could cost Puget Sound fishermen valuable if hin g grounds off the Canadian coast, may have to be affected at the Law of the Seas Conference in Geneva this spring.
 u. s. State Department and Navy officials told members of the fishing industry Saturday the compromise may be necessary to prevent adoption of the Emile territorial limit many nations urged at last years meeting.
 William c. Harrington, special assistant to the Undersecretary of State, said if it appears the con- ference is going to vote for aban- donment of the traditional three mile limit, the United States will fight for a limit of six miles or less.
 Canada has been a strong sup porter of the 12-mile limit which would prevent Americans from fishing the rich waters off Brit ish Columbia Harrington said he doubted any arrangement could be made with Canada prior to the Geneva meeting.

Coast Guard Warns Adventurers Make Ship Seaworthy'

WESTPORT, Wash, tR - The Coast Guard lowered the boom Friday on group of adventurers bound for the Galapagos Islands in 30-year-old converted re- frigerator ship.
 Make your vessel seaworthy or face arrest, was the gist of statement delivered to Don Harrsch, leader of the expedition, by three Coast Guard officers. The ultimatum came from Rear Admiral Allen Winbeck, comman- der of the 18th Coast Guard District.
 "We're not worried said Harrsch. "There is nothing of any consequence wrong with this boat"
 He referred to the 1O0-foot ves- sel Alert, which had to be es- corted into this port by the Coast Guard early Friday when water seeped through the hull and into the engine room.
 Once a vessel has asked for and received Coast Guard assistance, it is subject to safety measures dictated by the Coast Guard, an officer explained. The vessel was to have been inspected Saturday.
 The Alert and her 19 passen- gers were headed for San Pedro, Calf, Friday to pick up 13 more persons. The adventurers hope to establish a self-supporting col ony on San Christobol Island on the equator 5000 miles away.

The driver Of a stolen auto
wrecked it while fleeing police

AirConditioner
Stirs Ruckus
BY ROBERTA HORNIG
Star STAFF Writer

1T grindS in your head. It's
a penetrating noise that goes
right through you. -"
That's how Mrs. Raymond H.
Miller, of 1920 Oliver street
NV. described what it's like
to live next door to a three-ton
air conditioner when you don't
have one yourself.
Her testimony came during
the first day of the Municipal
Court trial of her neighbor,
Sidney A. Jaffe, of 3016 Oliver
street N.W.-the first Wash
ington resident to be charged
under recently amended police
regulations outlawing noisy
air-cooling units.
Mr.. Miller, who had Mr..
Jaffe hailed into court, was
instrumental in getting the
District Commissioners to
amend Ine regulaClonS last
June.
Mr.. Miller, a lawyer for the
Civil Rights Commission, told
Judge Dewitt S. Hyde that he
knew it would be difficult to
live with an air conditioner
right outside his bedroom win
dow as soon as Mr.. Jaffe had
it installed around Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1858.
He said he visited his neigh
Dor and offered to pay the cost
Of having the unit moved to
another side Of the yard
away from his own house.
Downright deep in my hon
est heart I thought it would

be annoying" Mr.. Miller said.
And it thunders much worse
than I ever anticipated"
Mrs. Miller complained to
Judge Hyde of sleeplesS nights.
MY house is a place Of tor
ment," she said.
THE grind has taken over
my body and my head. / can't
get any escape from it."
The MillerS' star witness was
Frank E. Jablonski of 9916
Julliard drive, Bethesda, an
employe of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton who was described as a
sound expert.
Mr.. Jablonski. who said, he
had measured the air condi-
toners decibel output, read
figures from a graph that in
dicated Mr.. Jaffe's air condi-
toner makes noise "substan-
tally above noise that would
be considered good for living
standards"
Jacob c. Lish, Mr.. Jaffe'S
attorney, pointed out over
Corporation Counsel Clark
Kings objection-that Mr..
Jablonski had sued his next
door neighborhood in Mont
gomery County last month for
having a noisy fan. He lost
the case. Mr.. Lish'S point was
stricken from the court record.
Mr.. Jaffe's first witness, Max
Boulin, an electrical engineer
with the Home Air Condition
ing Co., which installed the
machine, said that in response
to the Millers' complaints, his
company had put noise quiet
erS" in the unit.
Mr.. Jaffe, an assistant chief
statiStician in the Labor De-
partment, denies his air con-
ditioner is noisy. His side of
the case continues today.

LONDON. Aug. 4 (AP). -
Butler Thomas Cronin let the
cat out Of the bag today-he
couldn't get along with Prin-
cess Margaret's husband, An
tony Armstrong-Jones.
Mr.. Cronin, who quit Tues
day, broke his silence over the
reasons and told newsmen that
Mr.. Armstrong Jones took over
duties he felt were his as boss
of the household staff in the
Kensington Palace mansion
given them by Margaret's sis
ter. Queen Elizabeth II.
II was not allowed to employ
any staff. even a charwoman, "
MIR. Cronin said. II didn't pay
them their wages and many
other matters were not left in
my hands as they should have
been.
"Mr. Jones-I always called
him sir as he doesn't like to
be called Mr.. Jones'-did all
this himself"
To Mr.. Cronin, this challenge
OF authority was unbearable.
Before entering the royal serv-
ice he served United States
Ambassador John Hay Whit
ney and three Lord Mayors Of
London.
Il have heard some rumors
that Mr., Armstrong Jones and
I exchanged blows" he said.
Il have been in my job far too
long to allow such q thing to
happen"
Relaxing before q vacation
in the country, Mr.. Cronin
wore a stylish gray check suit
with highly polished brown
shoes.
Il am going to forget all
about my days at Kensington
Palace and the only posi-
ton I have ever left in unfor-
tunate circumstances" he said
wiping his brow with q clean
white handkerchief.
