CONSTANTINE BROWN
Apprehensions on Appeosement

Mr.. Stevenson made 1t clear
that he was speaking on his
own without having consult
ed President Kennedy. But
those familiar with diplo-
matte maneuvers realize that
this was the broadest hint Mr..
Khrushchev could possibly
receive to come to New York
to meet the new President.
Moreover, Secretary Of
State Dean Rusk. who had
been loudly applauded when
he stated that summitry will
be replaced by diplomatic ne
gotiations at ambassadorial
levels, seems to have reversed
himself when he said last
week end that these formal
diplomatic negotiations do
not preclude meetings by
heads Of state. And to confirm
the suspicious that within a
week after MIR. Kennedy made
his strong speech the admin
istration had changed its po-
sition 180 degrees. q tough
speech by Admiral Arleigh
Burke saying what he had
said repeatedly and openly
during the last eight years,
that the Kremlin is not to be
trusted-had to be rewritten
at the last minute on White
House orders lest 1t thwart
useful negotiations with
Moscow.
It Is too early to say posi-
lively that our President is
heading toward appeasement
and co-existence. But the Of
fical attitude since last Fri
day gives that impression and

Union address to Congress.
could ever be fulfilled, he
would be the greatest Chief
Executive in our history.
If the rest of the world
needed his plea to reform
themselves and shape their
policies to conform to Presi-
dent Kennedy's ideas. espec-
tally in the use of our funds,
Utopia would be just around
the corner. In fact, the Pres
ident's cordial invitation to
the Russians to join us on a
trip to Venus and Mars
wouldn't seem so unreal,
either.
For, on international pol
icy, 1t was q splendid message
in keeping with the ideals
set forth time and again by
President Eisenhower.
On domestic policy, the
speech was O series of contra
dictionS between hope and
reality. between theory and
practically.
While painting a gloomy
picture Of the internal econ
omy Of the United States and
presenting a fine analysis Of
the gold problem-on which.
incidentally, his views are as
sound as q dollar"-there
wasn't a single sentence that
explained the causes Of the
so-called recession.
Mr.. Kennedy professed not
to 'indict the past" but he
proceeded nevertheless to do
just that. He spoke Of "Seven
years Of diminished economic
growth" though the figures
show that the gross national
product has increased every
year In that period. Later on,
the President qualified his
verdict somewhat by saying
that after 1858 "our gross
national product never re-
gained its full potential"
There were few details as
to what the new administra-
ton intends to do about all
the ills which it says are
present in our domestic econ
omy, though it promises that
the new program of expendi-
lures. including revenue
from q stimulation Of the
economy, will not Of and by

earlier budget. It Is diff
cult to know just what this
means, though evidently the
purpose is to reassure every
body that initiation Of the
dollar isn't going to be the
remedy.
It's hard, however, to see
how the Government will
balance its budget when
it proposes such vast spend
ing programs as Mr.. Kennedy
mentioned, or how the cost
Of living will be kept down.
For the truth is Mr.. Kennedy
didn't say q word about the
state Of economic anarchy
which has swept America
the assertion Of econ mic
power by irresponsible groups.
Today the unemployed can't
get jobs because the wage
level has gone UP faster than
companies can absorb. Prof.
its are reduced, but wages
never. Indeed the AFL-C1O
is demanding O 30-hour week
with the same pay as for 40
hours. This Is hardly the
way to increase employment.
1t Is the road to more bank
ruptcies.
The domestic part of the
Presid ent's address was
plainly political and partisan.
It raised high hopes and
talked optimistically Of de-
sired reforms. But how can
they really be achieved? Mr..
Kennedy spoke two sentences
in his address that will puz-
zle Americans a good deal.
He said:
Before my term has ended,
we shall have to test anew
whether q Nation organized
and governed such as ours
can endure. The outcome Is
by no means certain"
Did the President mean
that q controlled economy
would have to be imposed
from the top? Did he mean
that, in the present state Of
conflicting forces. the groups
with the largest vote-getting
power are to be needed. ire

Kennedy's Challenge to Congress

Right now the Republicans

berS Of the coalition. South
ern Democrats know they are
fighting only Q delaying ac-
ton for reasons Of survival
in their home districts. Their
private discussions are ami
cable and even resigned.
But Republicans are. first
Of all, bitterly disappointed
that they did not win the
Presidency. They are taking
1t out on former Vice Presi-
dent Richard Nixon person
ally. and former President
Eisenhower would be dis
agreeably surprised to learn
his real standing with most
party professionals.
The feeling is intensified
by the circumstance that the
old Republican heartland. the
Midwest. returned to its alle-
glance. Many observers be-
lieve the religious issue. plus
o kind Of prejudice against
big-city politicians. was the
cause rather than conServa-
tive Republican economies.
But 1t is hard to argue with
the fact that there are %
new conservative Republican
members Of the House.
In such an atmosphere. few
care to listen to the obvious
danger Of thus stamping

Goldwater image. For the

One Who Loves the Chase Is Thrilled
As Walker Hound Is Named for Him

A fellow called up and said
he wanted to ask If 1t would
be all right If he named a
fox hound after me. I said 1t
would. I'd be honored, espe-
cially If the hound was a
Walker. He said he was. I'll
always be partial to Walker
hounds. I like bird dogs and

are my real love. / know

But the Walkers are my IA
vorites.
Once. q long time ago, I
had q pack of Walkers. They
are not as fast as a July
hound. They won't cut any
corners. But they are trail
ers who will hang on until
men following them are long
worn out and go back home.
Once when I was in Ire
land I went fox hunting. It
was all right. But 1t wasn't
what I knew. When I was
back in Tennessee years ago,
I covered all the fox trials

That was living. I liked the
way the hunters came in red

vate cars with a kennel in

Job Sfoppage
At CanaveraI
Ruled Illegal
By the Associated Press

A Government board today
brushed aside such worker ALI
bis as wanting to "go fishing
or "clean out my swimming
pool" in ruling that a work
stoppage at the Cape Canaveral
(Fla.) missile base last August
was illegal.
A three-man panel of the
National Labor Relations Board
ruled that Local 756 of the
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers and its busi-
ness agent, Robert Palmer, in
fluenced the work Stoppage
and caused a secondary boycott
violating the Federal labor law.
The board approved the find
ing of its trial examiner, Stan
ley Gilbert, that the reasons
given by workers for refusing
to install cables were osten-
sibly fictitious.
Instead, the board ruled that
Mr.. Palmer and the local union
persuaded the workers not to
install the cables so they could
get a bigger share of the in
Stallation work. Mr.. Palmer
and the local were ordered not
to repeat this in the future.
Those Involved Listed
The dispute involved the
union; it's direct employer,
Gable Electric Service, a sub
contractor, and the Martin Co.,
a secondary employer and
prime contractor with the
Government in manufacturing
and installing facilities at
Canaveral for the Peshing
missile.
Martin manufactures the
missile at Orlando, with its
workers represented by the

and wiring them to plugs
Some of this fabricating proc
