Small but plain and omi-

unhappily unaccuStomed
place. Canada.
For generations, our hemi-
spheric difficulties have been
with Latin nations to the

more or less expected those.
For many deep differences,
Of language and culture and
custom, lie between us, and
for nearly two centuries have
50 lain.
Fidel Castro's Cuba, for
one illustration, for months
has been bedevilling US and
all the Americans with q
more and more arrogantly

dictatorship. Now with the
final exasperations Of a man
who has been all.too-patient
in the past, President Eisen-
hover has applied not the big
stick but still q pretty good
sized economic stick to Castro.
He has cut OF for the hrst
three months Of 1851 not
some, but all Of Castro's
sugar shipments to the
United States.
Still. we have on the whole
long since learned to live
with rows with the Latins.
And however sticky the going
with them, we have always
comforted ourselves that to
the North. anyhow, we had
q good, solid neighbor.
Here was Canada. working
peacefully alongside US on
"the longest unfortified from

life and with its common

ers Of other generations. To-
gether they open up possibili-
ties for a rich enjoyment Of
evenings at home. The rec
ords may be supplemented
with reading alone or in
groups. It is possible. in this
fashion. to set up q program
Of winter reading and lis
tening.
It Is a melancholy fact
that most Of US, looking back
at our elementary and Sec
ondary school days, are lucky
If we recall as many as two
or three teachers who Stimu-
lated US to read and think.
This is why. believe. there
is q lamentable number OF
homes in which no one reads
neither father, mother, nor
Johnny. 1t is q conviction OF
mine that Johnny and Mary
would read If papa and mama
did. They would like poetry,
too, If mother and father
weren't such dolts as never
to read 1t aloud or admit an
acquaintance with 1t.
For me there was the great,
good luck in the fifth grade
to have a teacher who great
ly stimulated his class to
read. In secondary school /
had the usual. standard, text
book dose Of Whittier, Emer-
son, Tennyson and Longfel-
low. I am almost sure I never
encountered the early poems
Of Byron, Poe or Browning.
There must have been some
thing of Keats and Shelley,
but. alas, none stuck in the
memory.
At college it was different.
Looking back at 1t, ] am
not sure about the adequacy
Of the teaching. but without
question. 1t introduced us to
poetry and gave some Of 1t
a permanent place in our
minds. The late Eddie Minis
(Vanderbilt) required pro-
digiouS feats of memory. He
gave us no contemporary
poetry whatever. But he ham,

Criticizing the Presidents Golf

used by political partisans
on Capitol Hill for that pur-
pose. viii they now say that
Mr.. Kennedy is golfing while
Laos or Ethiopia is burning
up-and why isn't he working
on bold and imaginative"
ideas?
It is to be hoped that the
new President will be spared
such forms of criticism. To
engage in physical exercise
of some kind is surely not q
sin or q violation Of law,
nor Is 1t q neglect Of duty
In the interests Of health. Mr..
Eisenhower's good health Is
in large part due to his deter
mination to ignore the critics
and get some relaxation and
recreation on the golf links.
This has contributed q great
deal to his excellent physical
condition since his heart at
tack and later surgical OPP
eration.'
There are also other kinds
Of criticism that ought to be
out Of bounds. One is the un-
favorable comment made
every now and then when a
President accepts gifts from
various citizens. especially Of
articles that have some value.
Those who make q point Of
emphasizing this sort Of thing
convey the idea that 1t rep
resents an attempt to buy
public favor. The President
would be embarrassed II he
sought to validate such an
assumption by declining gifts
rendered to him.
It's the same old problem
Of conflict Of interest" An
honest public servant obeys
only one maSter-the public
interest-and does not allow
any other consideration TO
affect his oficial rulings. For
a President to say he
wouldn't accept any gift Is
to imply that all gift-givers
have or might have an ute
rior motive. If q man can be
trusted with the highest Of
fice In the land. he surely
ought to be trusted to decide
that, In accepting gifts from
sincere admirers, he is not
doing anything wrong and
that, In taking time out for
a little recreation, he Is not
neglecting the public business.

Golf-playing. unfortunate
ly, gets to be something Of a
political issue nowadays
when it is indulged in by q
President of the United
States. So it's important to
begin this early to defend
President lie ct Kennedy
against the critics who note
that he played nine holes Of
golf on five successive days
on the golf links at Palm
Beach, Fla.
This writer defended Presi-
dent Eisenhower against such
criticism, though the argu-
ment made didn't seem to
convince the Democratic
National Committee. which
inserted many a barb in its
campaign literature about
Ike's golf-playing habits.
The impression sought to
be conveyed, to be sure, was
that President Eisenhower
wasn't attending to the pub
lie business. It was unfair
criticism, and the truth is
few people know the strain
on q present-day President,
who is virtually on 24-hour
duty every day Of the year.
He is only . few minutes

Because Of inquiries from
students, ! am Of the opin-
ion that more attention Is
being given to poetry than
when I was in secondary
school. This Is q good thing.
One of the provincial flaws
in the 20th Century America
Is q reluctance to admit a
liking for poetry. The result
Of such parochialism Is that
q great many young people,
encountering this In their
elders, are ashamed to admit
they enjoy it.
The truth Is that the per-
son who does not have some
poetry inside him is made
quate for a full life. Rather
than be immaturely shy
about reading poetry, there
should be a search for it, and
enjoyment of it. So. I trust,
there will be some books Of
poetry beneath the Christmas
| trees when the gifts are
opened. Even a good teacher
has difficulty conveying to
students the feeling and
rhythm of poetry If 1t isn't
read in their homes. 1t Is my
opinion that family life and
DUR civilization would be boil
tered If the old-fashioned
custom of reading aloud in
the family circle could be
resumed.
To this can be added the
retord player. One of the
really magnificent things
about these instruments is
that one can listen to Carl
Sandburg, Robert Frost, T. S.
Eliot. and other contempo-
rary poets reading their own
poems. In this manner we
are privileged to hear the
nuances Of infection which
the author feels belongs in

makers who dodge Federal
taxes on liquor.
Noting that his own Demo
cratic stronghold of Brooklyn
accounted for q goodly number
Of the 10000 illegal stills seized

tographs Of him on the links

promised there would be some
golfing pictures after he be-
comes President. Mr.. Salipger
said Mr.. Kennedy regards his
golf-playing as a personal
part of his life and separated
from his public or ofhcial
activities"
Some members of the press
may not agree with that in
depreciation. but this cor
respondent has always felt
that the personal life Of a
President should not be in
truded upon by reporters or
photographers. Many years
ago this writer covered the
White House for the ASsoci-
ated Press and, when Presi-
dent Wilson went to the golf
links twice and sometimes
three times a week-even in
wartime - it wasn't conSid-
cred news. There was mem
ton occasionally Of golf
playing by President Taft,
but largely because he trav-
eled a good deal and played
more golf away from Wash.
ington than he did here.
It might be argued that
the names Of golfing partners
Become news. especially If
they are individuals who have
political or other business
with the President from
time to time. But even such
mention, it would seem. is
something that invades pri-
vacy. Certainly. If the Presi-
dent wants to play golf. or go
swimming in the White
House pool. or spend an
evening at bridge or poker,
he ought to be permitted
to do so without having the
fact proclaimed as If 1t were
an interruption Of public
business.
Today, every time Presi-
dent Eisenhower goes to the
golf links, this fact is re-
ported on the press-associa-
ton wires. Its repetition or
reiteration can't help but
. give an impression that he
Is loafing on the job. The
