THE NATURE OF THE ATTACK

It's still too early to know how they
will go about tearing down the Ken
needy image. Certainly no one in his
right senses will repeat the comments
of Gov. Wesley Powell that Kennedy
is 'soft on communism. Nor is there
likely to be much mileage in the argu-
ment used by James r.. Hoffa that
Kennedy is "anti-labor".
Kennedy's failure to take an active
part in opposing the late Sen. Joe
Mccarthy will undoubtedly be ex-
plotted by his liberal opponents. It
is regrettable that the exigencies of
politics have prevented Kennedy ever
from giving fortnight explanation
of his seeming indifference to Nc
earthly. What he should have said
and almost everybody knows-is that
anyone from Massachusetts, who
spoke out against the "hero" of the
Boston Irish would have committed
political suicide.
This may not have fitted the pic
ture of the author of "Profiles in
Courage but, I think, it would have
been understood and overlooked. if
not forgiven.
None of these possible points of
attack, however, seem to me to be
the kind that will make many voters
anti-Kennedy. His opponents will
have to come up with something much
better. if they want to knock him
out of the race.

For a moment a shadow crossed

tried not to think about what would

lessly incurable people who now
lived at Cheshire Home. New Delhi,
took all the strength in her 95-pound

people who need it so desperately.
If only American people could see

need it. Even CROP employees in
India must find another source for
their powdered milk and either go
without cheese or import it them
selves.
