Kennedy Formula

In spirit of underStatement, Sen
ator Kennedy says that the 12-point for
eign policy program which he has put
before the Senate is "a large agenda."
That is true. 1t is large, and it is painted
with the broadest of broad strokes.
The presidential aspirant from Mas
SachusettS does in this speech what any,
one in his position would have to do. He
finds nothing that is good in the per-
formance of the Eisenhower admins
tration. He gives the back of his hand
to those in his own party who have been
suggesting that he is bit too young
and bit too inexperienced to deal with
such tough character as Mr.. Khru-
Shchev. And he outlines a program of
his own which touches all bases and
which has in it a little something for
everyone. 1t is, of course, a highly po-
litical document. But this is to be ex-
pected from man who is bidding for
the highest of all political Offices.
The basic trouble with the speech
is that it appears to set forth program
without actually doing SO in any specific
sense. For example, Senator Kennedy
says we will be fortunate if Mr.. Khru-
Shchev'S Paris performance shocks the
American people into an awareneSs of
"the sacrifices we must make" But he
does not get down to the unpleasant
business of saying exactly what sacri-
fees must be made. Gliding the EiSen-
hover administration, he says we have
no fresh ideas" to break the Stalemate
in Germany and the stalemate in Ber-
lin. Does Mr.. Kennedy have any fresh
ideas of his own on these points? If so,
they will not be found in this speech.
Finally, in our list of examples, the Mas
sachusetts Senator says I'VE must re-
gain the ability to intervene effectively
and swiftly in any limited war anywhere
in the world" Well, that is a ringing
statement and it covers lot of terri
tory. But we think someone should ask:
Why? Why is it not enough to be ready
to intervene only in such limited wars
as involve some interest vital to the
United States, and which we would have
some reasonable prospect of winning?
In summary, there is not much that
is specific in the IL points with which
Senator Kennedy deals. This, however,
will be true, we suspect, of any political
speech which pretendS to deal with all
or even most of the troubles which beSet
this much-troubled world of ours.

A Vote for SWIMMING

Swimming is described by many a
doctor as healthful exercise. Algernon
Swinburne once wrote a poem entitled
"a Swimmers Dream, in which he Sug-
geSted in a poetical, roundabout way
that there is no "lordlier leisure" than
swimming.
Now it may be that splashing
around in 20-by-2O pool offers only
limited exercise, or a leisure activity
that is something less than lordly. Still,
If there is time between roll calls for
a Senator to take refreshing dip, what
harm to the state of the Union? BY
and large, a Senator's life is a Seden-
tary one - in the service of his con-
Stituents and his country. short swim
now and then, say 20 feet over and back,
could unkink some f1abby muscles. 1t
might even help to unkink some legis-
lative tangles. Therefore, if the old SEN
ate Office Building is going to have its
face frightened here and there,
modeSt-Sized swimming pool does not
strike us as being an unreasonable ad-
dition.

A Notable Milestone

1t looks as though the long, long
fight to lift the residents of this National
Capital above the voting level of luna
tics and convicted felonS is Just about
over. And this, as Chairman Celler of
the House Judiciary Committee so aptly
remarked, is truly most notable mile
stone"
In an almost unanimous vote, the
House yesterday approved a conStitu-
tional amendment which, assuming final
ratification, will permit the residents of
Washington to vote for President and
Vice President. Significantly, no men,
Der spoke against the Districts claim
to suffrage. Yet it has taken many long
years Of effort, in which The Star is
proud to have played part, to bring
this struggle for fundamental right
to the threshold of success.
1t is disappointing that the reSolu-
ton as finally passed was limited in
form. We had especially hoped that
the legislators would retain a Senate
approved provision removing all doubt
as to the power of Congress, in the
future, to grant the District representa-
ton in the House. 1t was made clear
enough in the House debate, however,
that the choice lay between this reso-
luton and nothing. This was freely
conceded even by those, such as Mr.
Celler, who would have preferred to
grant more, and we think the COM
munity owes a vote of thanks to the
House and especially to those leaders
who steered the resolution through to
successful final action. After 100 vote
less years, in company with imbecies
and jailbirdS, it is no small thing for
District residents to be at last on tie
verge of voting for President and Vice
President.
The resolution now goes back to
the Senate, where the outlook for
prompt concurrence in the House ac-
ton. is bright. Some Senators are con-
cerned that the House limited the
scope of the resolution, but we think
that the political realities, one might
even say political necessities, will be
apparent to them. And we hope that
final, favorable action will be forth
coming in the immediate future so that
this long-overdue constitutional reform
can be sent on to meet its final test
ratification by three-fourthS of the
States within seven years.

Clarified Confusion?

Adlai Stevenson and Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt have ended up in a polite
Stand-off In their joint effort at clari-
flying one of the political riddles of the
day..
Stated most simply, the riddle is
whether Mr.. Stevenson is or is not a
candidate for third Democratic presi-
Dental nomination. In various ways at
various times, Mr.. Stevenson has ex-
planned that, technically at least he is
not a candidate. Similarly, however, he
has explained also that he is not a
draft dodger and that he stands ready
to serve his country and his party when
ever called upon. To Mr.. Stevenson,
there are no qualities of ambiguity or
contradiction in these explanations
Mrs. Roosevelt, one of those not
quite certain about Mr.. Stevenson's true
position, decided few days ago that
the matter should be cleared up An
nouncing her preference for a ticket
headed by the former Illinois Governor,
with the youthful Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts, as running mate, she
simply called up Mr. Stevenson and
asked him "to clarity his position" In
effect, his answer by telegram was a
reStatement of the above-which Mrs.
Roosevelt promptly interpreted as max
ing ut clear that Mr.. Stevenson is a
candidate" Mr.. Stevenson countered by
repeating, 4 am not"-leaving things
just about as confused as before clari-
f1cation.
However this all works out, it has
become increasingly evident in the past
fortnight that the dedicated Stevenson
admirers are not ready to give up hope.
One group, described as gentle, book
ish" individuals, recently implored him
by advertisement not to indorse any
other candidate (Which he has now
assured Mrs. Roosevelt he will not do)
but to keep himself available. Another
group, we'll qualified by standards of
intellectualiSm, has petitioned the party
to remember that Mr.. Stevenson "haS
no equal" and that the party should
offer to America and to the world moth
ing but its best" While Mrs Roosevelt,
a real professional in political tech
niqueS by contrast with so many of the
Stevenson followers, may not have sue
ceeded completely in her effort at clari-

Warmer Air?

An opportunity for limited "defrost-
ing" of Russian American relations has
been created with agreement that BIZ
lateral talks will begin here next month
on reciprocal commercial air service be-
tween New York and Moscow.
1t is project that has been on ice
throughout most of the post World War
II period, with Soviet authorities show
ing little interest until recently in i'm
plementing basic agreement Gin prin-
ciple" for such exchange of service.
With development of their own turbo-
prop and jet aircraft, however, the Rus
slams have entered into several bilateral
agreements with free world nations
among them Britain, France, Belgium,
Holland and India-for direct service
under all these flags between Moscow
and the corresponding capitals. Earlier
this year, during the period of SEEM
ingly better relations that existed before
collapse of the summit conference in
Paris, the Soviet government informed
our own that it was ready to negotiate
similar flying rights between New York
and Moscow. This readiness has now
been reaffirmed, with July 18 set as
date for initiating talks here.
On our side, Pan American World
Airways- which now flies to Northern
Europe as far as Helsinki-already holds
Civil AeronauticS Board certificate for
service to Moscow. Trans World Air
lines has indicated an interest in ex-
tending its route pattern to the Soviet
capital. Russian international flying is
done by government-owned and oper-
ated Aeroflot, and the scheduled nego-
tiations will be at government level on
both sides.
There are many technical problems
involved-on routes and aircraft, for ex-
ample-and no certainty that agreement
will be reached quickly or easily. 1t is
evident, however, that the Soviet Union
feels itself prepared to carry it's eco
nomic competition with the West in
general and the United States in par
ticular to the civil airways. Our own
air transport people are prepared to do
the same in reverse. There are potential
benefits to both sides if businesslike
agreement can be worked out.

Closed Door Heorino

I am disturbed by the i'm
plications of "the hearing was
behind closed doors" in your
story of Judges Weighing
Couples Plea for Return of
Child,p Star, June 2. Who is
being protected or helped by
this secrecy? The child is too
young to read; the sets of
parents involved have done
no wrong-the case is an at
tempt to show prior rights to
the foster child by the foster
parents. That leaves only the
county welfare agency that
might desire secrecy. If so,
why? Is it so unsure of public
backing of its actions? Sew
eral welfare decisions lately
have raised widespread pro-
tests and some reversals
when information was given
to the public by the press. In
a democracy people protect
themselves best by knowing
what their public servants
are doing and closed court
hearings should be permitted
Sparingly.
In the fourth paragraph of
your story the names of the
welfare agencies seem to be
transposed, as it was the
Montgomery County Welfare
Board that placed the child
in the Crump home.

A pSychiatrist from Can
ada was reported by The Star
as saying that our Constitu-
ton is obsolete and Ameri-
cans must give up depending
on it. Actually, this DR.. Brock
Chisholm, Canada's contri-
button to U. MS World
Health Organization, was at
tempting to honor World
Mental Health Year by dis
crediting and ridiculing our
basic law of the land. Even
he is evidently aware that
rights guaranteed by our
Constitution form a SubStan-
tial tective bulwark
against his brand of U. N. to-
talitarian mental conformity
and brain-washing. Thus, ac-
cording to The Star, this in
ternationally known psychia-
trist goes off the beam as
would be expected of such by
expressing his preference for
the Communist system of die
tatorship in Russia and sug-
costing that our Constitution
should be amended so we
could be operated the same
way.
DR.. Chisholm made his psy-
chotic suggestions to the 87th
annual forum of the Nation
al Conference on Social We'll
fare, held in Atlantic City
and supposedly attended by
some Americans. Those who
paid to attend this forum
would apparently have a
valid claim for refund Of any
fee paid because of blatant
and outright misrepresenta-
tion by having such a speaker
appear under the guise of
advancing social welfare.

So now the High Chief of
Mental HEALTH" DR.. G. B.
Chisholm, has become an au-
thority on the Constitution.
According to Brock CHS
holm, the Constitution is OBJ
solete. Morality, he thinks, is
also obsolete. 1t is interest,"
ing to note that the biological
definition of obsolete" is:
"imperfectly developed or
rudimentary in comparison
with the corresponding char
acter in other individuals" :"
DR.. Chisholm's thinking quail
ifles beautifully.

Speaking of the Food and

you chose weighs lighter. "

Young Movie Critic

Not too many years back
I used to attend the movies
regularly. At least then they
were half decent. Now, when
I pass the movie theaters in
Washington and vicinity, I
see on the marques either
some appalling monster de-
vouring or crushing some
mob of screaming, dying peo-
pie or a sex-filled picture fit
for only the scum of the
earth.
Since I am in high school
there is not much I can do
about it, but how about some
OF the Self-appointed COM
munity leaders, who complain
about the rise of juvenile de-
linquency and similar social
diStresses, but do nothing
about it? Are they too blind
to see that probably in their
own neighborhood there is
an occasion for juvenile de-
linquency? Where else do
kids get their ideas, but from
grownups, who are supposed
to be more mature in both
intellect and understanding {?
The movie theater is sup
posed to be a place for enter
tainment, a place to relax,
not a place for your mind to
be filled with lusty erroneous
facts. which corrode and rot
the minds of many young
sterS.
I feel sorry for those movie
owners who will eventually
be called before God and
asked to give an account of
themselves and their reason
for starting and assisting
many youngsters on the Slip
perry path of wickedness and
wrongdoing.
