Algiers' main street. A flying squad
of wreckers demolished (for the
second time) the United States
Cultural Center, strewing books,
furniture, records and broken
glass all over the pavements.
Why did the rioters attack the
United States Cultural Center?
Since the Algerian Nationalists
have frequently and plainly lab
eled the United States as a chief
backer of French colonialism, why
were the European "colons" angry
at Uncle Sam?
Most diplomats were quickly
certain that the anti-American
action of the colonialists was as
cribable to one thing-the ap-
parent election of Senator John
F. Kennedy as the next President
Of the United States. Senator
Kennedy, two years ago, spoke out
on the floor of the Senate in favor
OF self-rule for Algeria. In effect,
the President-elect had argued, as
a Senator. that Algerians should
choose their own future-almost
exactly the policy proclaimed and
reiterated by Gen. de Gaulle since
his return to power in Paris.

Kennedy:
First Actions

Senator Kennedy last week
made his first appointments as
President-elect and prepared
liais0n with the outgoing Repub-'
Mcan administration.
One Of Senator Kennedy's chief
campaign themes was that the
White House must once more be-
come a source Of dynamic lead
ership If America is to get on the
move again.
It will be more than two months
before he will formally take over
the powers Of the presidency (bar-
ring the minor miracle mentioned
above). but Mr.. Kennedy already
is moving"
The fact that he got no "man-
date" from the electorate and.
moreover, failed to lead his party
to increased margins in the House
and Senate, has not changed his
attitude or diluted his determine
ton to act. =
II went to the country with very
clear views Of what the United
States ought to do In the $685."
he told Hyannis Port news con-
ference on Thursday. II have been
elected and. therefore, I am going
to do my best to implement those
views and meet my responsible
ties"

Working Mojorities

OF course, now that it no longer
has to face the often used and
threatened veto power Of President
Eisenhower, the new Democratic
administration will not have to
muster "two-thirds plus one" votes
to see its progressive legislation
enacted. Thus, the chances for
more liberal housing, school con-
struction and medical-aid-to-the-
aged bills in the new session ap-
pear brighter. A simple majority
will allow Mr.. Kennedy to sign
them into law.
Last week, the President-elect
and Mr.. Eisenhower made plans
for the change of leadership. Mr..
Kennedy named Clark M. Clifford,
former White House counsel to
President Truman. as his liaison
with the outgoing administration.
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Eisen-
hover are expected to meet for q
personal talk sometime later this
month, possibly at Augusta. Ca,
where the President is vacationing.
Mr.. Kennedy is taking a two-week
rest at his fathers home in Palm
Beach, Fla.
Speculation grew over cabinet
appointments last week. Mr.. Ken
nedy indicated he would announce
names around Thanksgiving time,
but offered no clues to his choices.
He did, however, say on Thursday
that he had asked Allen w. Dulles
to remain as Director of Central
Intelligence and ]. Edgar Hoover
as Director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and that both
had agreed to do so. Neither job
is considered political. The Sem
ator's haste in making it known
that he wanted these respected Of
ficials to stay on may have been
to allay any fears that he was 60
ing to turn the Government upside
down when he takes over.

In Wet Man,:
Army Coup

An army-led coup in South
Wet Nam early Friday was
initially successful, but forces
loyal to President NgO Dinh
Diem yesterday had routed the
rebels and restored order in
Saigon.
Since the partition of Indo-
China between the Communists Of
the north and the non-Commu-
nists of the south in 1855, Ngo
Dinh Diem, strong-armed Presi-
dent of South Wet Nam, has ruled
his turbulent and divided nation
with American funds, American
arms, and increasingly rigorous
methods.
In the pre-dawn darkness OF

reluctantly, threw tough infantry

Dictatorship

"Ngo Dinh Diem adopted a FAM
lily dictatorship and was unable
to face the situation which has
deteriorated because Of mounting
Communist danger" a rebel
broadcast announced Friday morn
ing.
There have been mounting pro-
tests recently that Mr.. Diem's
harsh Communist measures
were depressing Wet Namese
peasants as much as they were
affecting the Communists.
When the first armored units
surrounded the presidential palace
in Saigon, fierce fighting broke out
between the troops and the Pres
ident's personal guard. Reports
yesterday put the total killed at
about 80 and as many more seri-
ouSly wounded. The shooting. how
ever, was over in few hours.
But the seeming success of the
rebels was brief. BY noon yester-
day, pro-government forces had
captured Col. Thai. subdued the
few rebel holdouts who refused to
surrender, and reoccupied the
Saigon Radio and government
buildings.
The State Department yesterday
professed to see no Communist
influence behind the Saigon coup.

He was vulnerable, therefore, to

Nixon:
Next?

Battle for control of the Re-
publican Party, with Senator
GOldwater and Gov. Rockefeller
on opposite ends and Vice Presi-
dent Nixon in the middle, ap-
peared likely last week after the
narrow presidential defeat.
To the left or right or down the
broad center-quo vadis, Repub-
licans?
Defeat at the polls always
brings a good deal of introspec-
ton to a political party and the
self-examination by the G. o. P.
has begun.
Also under way are the first
skirmisheS in what in all prob
ability will be tough and bitter
struggle for control of the party,
with the decision, of course, not
to be known definitely until the
1864 national convention.
Vice President Nixon is the
titular Republican chief and, on
the basis Of his photo finish with
Senator Kennedy in a record
breaking total vote. he has the
credentials to make a strong bid
for denomination in 1864, if he
chooses to do so. His man, Sena-
tor Thruston Morton of Kentucky,
will remain as national chairman.

The Hughes Story

Not many political observers
think Nixon can pull of such a
minor miracle. But if he does, the
memories Of 1916, when Charles
Evans Hughes went to bed think
ing he was President-elect only
to awaken and find that California
gave its votes to Woodrow Wilson,
will fade, giving way to 1860 as
the most suspenseful presidential
election of the goth century.
AS of yesterday, the popular vote
read: Kennedy, 33,627, 1852; Nixon.
33,349,323. The electoral vote 1859
is needed to VIM, with California
and Alaska still not settled and
the entire Mississippi slate and
six Alabama electors unpledged.
was: Kennedy, SOC and Nixon 188.,
All during the hours before mid,
night on Tuesday. except for a
very early Nixon furry. the voting
indicated a Kennedy victory, prob
ably of a substantial order. The
votes came. in the main. from the
Northeast and Southeast, chief
areas of strength for the Senator.
Then after midnight, with the
Middle West and Mountain States
reporting. the Kennedy advantage
began to melt. 1t has been melting
ever since.

The French "colOns" Of AL
geria, implacably determined
that the rich North African
province will remain an integral
part Of France, rioted Friday
and yesterday in the streets of
Algiers with cries of "De Gaulle
to the Stake!"
Armistice Day. November II, is
a day of poignant meaning to
Frenchmen everywhere. Its cele-
bration marks the day in 1918
when the might of Kaiser Will
helms German Empire was hum
bled at last and France was re-
born.
But this years observance of
the great day when the military
men of the Kaiser's Reich sat in
railroad coach in the forest of
Compiegne and accepted the al
lied armistice terms was a tor
tured one. both in France proper
and in her rebellious department
of Algeria.
1t was the European element Of
Algeria, the "colons" who have
ruled the wealthy African province
for more than a century and who
have realized most of the fruits
of its wealth, who first brought
Gen. Charles de Gaulle back to
power. Their weapon was defiance
of the torn, vacillating, splinter
lied political impotence of the
Fourth Republic.
But Gen. de Gaulle, ensconced
as President of the Fifth Republic
in the Elysee Palace. proved to be
no puppet of the embittered and
defiant "colons" whose challenge
to the authority of civil rule,
challenge backed strongly by the
Big Brass of the French Army,
had brought him back to Paris
from the restless semi-retirement
he had sought at Colombey.

The New
Congress

The Republicans, who showed
that their party is far from
dead even without a national
hero to head it, made gains
Tuesday in both the House and
Senate.
With four House seats still in
doubt in extremely tight races,
the results show a Republican
gain Of IS in the lower chamber
and two in the Senate. The new
Congress will look like this:

In the Middle

But Mr.. Nixon is the man in the
middle as two attractive and artic-
ulate contenders on opposite ends
Of the political continuum grid
for clash over what direction
the Republican Party should take
in the COS. These men are:
. Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, the spokesman for genu-
inc conservatism. He is a man
with growing influence, particu-
larly among the young Republicans
and in the South, where the G.
o. P. is working with increased
success toward the building of a
two-party system.
. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York. who has indicated
strongly that he intends to try to
capture the G. o. P. presidential
nomination in 1864. He Is the
acknowledged leader of his party's
liberal wing.
Last Wednesday Senator Gold
water threw down the gauntlet to
the Vice President and to Gov.
Rockefeller.
He suggested that Mr.. Nixon
lost the election because he was
"me-too" candidate, telling
reporters:
1--WE who are conservatives will
stoutly maintain that 1860 was a
repeat performance of 1914 and
1948. when we offered the voters
insufficient choice with a me-too
candidate"
AS for the New York Governor,
who must win reelection in 1862
to maintain a challenging position
for the presidential sweepstakes
two years later, the Senator
cracked:
IF Mr.. Rockefeller can't carry
New York (for Mr.. Nixon, he
can't be reckoned a figure to
contend with in the Republican
Party =.
II want to figure in 1864, but
not necessarily as the top candi-
date. But I don't want Rookie

mature and that Nixon was q
great debater. All Jack had to
do was break even. Actually he
won the debates"
There Is no doubt that Senator
Kennedy projected the image Of o
serious. vigorous, competent can
didate. not only on TV. but in
the hundreds Of personal appear
ances and speeches he made In
more than 20 States during the
campaign.
To look at the other side Of
the coin. what did Mr.. Nixon and
his party do wrong or fail to do?
Chairman Morton blamed the
defeat on the party's inability
to obtain a larger portion Of the
Negro vote. so crucial in several
key industrial States.
Other Republicans criticized Mr..
Nixon's timing-his delaying the
use Of his big guns and President
Eisenhower's all-out campaigning
Evening star., 1960-11-13
Rockefeller Silent

The Governor has not yet been
heard from-publicly. But he has
kept together the big political
staff he gathered round him
when he fought-and then gave
up-the battle with Mr.. Nixon for
the 1860 presidential nomination.
And no one doubts that his eye
is still on the White House.
Mr.. Rockefeller, however, has a
more immediate problem. Reports
have persisted that he is not quite
the popular favorite in his home
State as he was when he defeated
Gov. Averell Hartman by 400, 900
votes in the 1858 gubernatorial
election. His State tax program Is
often cited as one reason.
In 1862. Mr.. Rockefeller will
have to stand for reelection. II
the Democrats can halt their cur
rent internal strife and agree on
an attractive candidate. a man
who would also appeal to the
Liberal Party, the Governor would
have a real fight for survival.
Some Democrats believe that Mayor
Robert Wagner of New York City
would give them a gubernatorial
winner.
Meanwhile, however, Mr.. Rookie
feller may be expected to move
swiftly in an effort to build up
support for 1864, with the most
likely avenue being the organiza-
tion of Republican Governors.
That is the method used by the
Eisenhower forces in successfully
beating the conservative organiza-
ton behind Senator Robert A. Taft
in the 1852 nomination contest.
Should Mr.. Nixon decide that he
wants another chance, as Thomas
E. Dewey did in the '4Os, his job
would be to convince the party
moderates that the best way to
hold the G. o. P. together would
be to nominate a middle. of-the-
roader.

Anti-De GouIIe

When President de Gaulle over
a week ago repeated his firm de-
termination that Algeria would de-
eide its own destinies, once the
slaughter of the Nationalist re-
bellion was halted. the "colons"
began again to plan direct action.
They were not strong enough, this
time, to stage another defiance in
the streets of Algiers, Constantine
and Oran. But they seized on the
occasion of Armistice Day to DEM
onstrate their dismay at the policy

hero.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
A New President by a Miracle Margin

Democratic Senator Kennedy
was elected 35th President Of
the United States, and the first
Catholic chief executive, In the
closest race Of the century, de-
feating Republican Vice Presi-
dent Nixon.
The prediction consensus of
the experts, including last-minute
judgments by the pollsters, was
that the 1860 Kennedy-Johnson
versus Nixon-Lodge contest for
the presidency would be close.
This proved to be the under
statement of the year. They didn't
know how close "close" could be.
Senator Kennedy had-or has. at
the moment-a comfortable edge
in electoral votes, the kind that
really count.
But these votes, in turn, are de-
pendent upon the popular vote in
each State and in some the diff
ferences between the totals for
the winner (who gets alb and the
loser are razor-thin.
In fact, Mr.. Kennedy may still
wind up being minority" Pres
ident-even though he may have
more poular votes than Mr.. Nixon.
That is, he may receive less than
so per cent Of the total votes
cast. Minor party candidates and
unpledged Democratic electors in
Mississippi will account for maybe
100000 votes.
The Kennedy-Nixon count, even
with the record-breaking surge of
more than 81 million votes (the
old mark was 62 million), is so
close that the Republicans may
request recounts in a number Of
States with the hope Of snatching
victory from the jaws Of defeat.
