DAVID LAWRENCE
Kennedy-Stevenson Puzzle

the ambassadors to follow
what he has prescribed.
Senator Kennedy is well
aware that many Of the So
called liberals throughout
the country preferred Mr..
Stevenson for the presiden-
tial nomination last summer
and that it's important po-
litically to placate or satisfy
them. This is nothing un-
usual in politics.
President-elect Woodrow
Wilson in the months follow
ing the 1912 election found
himself with somewhat the
same dilemma. William Jen-
nings Bryan had run three
times as the Democratic
nominee for the presidency
and was entitled to the sec
retaryship of State according
to political logic. So he was
appointed. But the differ
ence between that situation
and the one that has faced
President-elect Kennedy is
that Mr.. Bryan was primari-
ly responsible for the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Wilson at the
B altim ore convention of
1912. while Mr.. Stevenson
didn't lift a finger to help
Senator Kennedy win the
presidential nomination this
year.
Will there be any further
parallel? Mr.. Bryan had his
own views and was inclined
toward pacifism. After the
Lusitania was torpedoed by a
German submarine in 1915.
with the loss Of many Ameri-
can lives, Mr.. Bryan favored
appeasement. The United
States protests to the Ger
man government led to Mr..
Bryan's sensational letter Of
resignation. in which he re-
vealed to the public his seri-
Gus differences with the
President.
1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Stevenson, if he becomes
ambassador to the U. NJ. will
be able to get along without
such differences on foreign
policy as might lead to a
resignation in the midst Of
the cold war.

Kennedy Must Mind His Politics

with the whole range of his
supporters.
What such men want above
all is to be consulted. They
are not too indignant when
they don't get what they
want most Of the time, but
they want their faces saved
and frightened at home. So
far Senator Kennedy has
been scrupulouS about do
ing it.
His hardest choices per-
sonally-the State, Defense
and Treasury Secretaries -
are happily the least in
volved in partisan politics.
Most Democrats seem to feel
that in times like the present
any President should be af-
forded the benefit Of every
doubt in selecting men for
these top posts. Senator Ken
nedy has considered Repub-
licans for them and within
limits would encounter few
troubles in having his choices
confirmed.

consider that such posts
should be outside partisan

Three Republican presi.
Dental hopefuls for 1864 are
already preparing to mount
three wholly different and
competing pressures on the
new Congress.
Each man looks upon this
as the place Of crisis, for his
own hopes and for the future
hopes Of the q. @, p. itself.
Each viii try to control, or at
least to help shape, the ac-
tions and tone Of the Repub-
hcan side Of that Congress.
One, Senator Barry Gold
water Of, Arizona, will sit in
Congress and SO may have q
small operating advantage.
simply that Of being on the
scene. The other two, Rich
ard M. Nixon and Gov. Nell
son Rockefeller of New York,
must exert their influence
from afar and through con-
gressional friends and sup
porters.
Thus the wheel of circum-
stance now turns full circle.
A year ago, with the White
House in Republican hands,
one Republican. Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, held a monopoly
on the 1860 presidential NOM
ination. It was then the
Democrats who-on the OUT
side looking in-had a large,
restless group Of aspirants.
Then Senators John F.
Kennedy. Lyndon B. johnson
and Stuart Symington were
maneuvering as rivals toward
1860. Now. beginning in
January, Nixon, Rockefeller
and Goldwater will become
the maneuvering rivals-this
time for 1864. They take the
old places Of Kennedy, john
son and Symington in the
great game Of musical chairs.
What is most strikingly
new in all this is the proof it
offers of a revolutionary
change in the realities of
power in American politics. It
used to be that Senators and
members of the House of
Representatives rarely
achieved decisive stature at
presidential nominating con-
ventions.
The big wheelers and deal
