no difference; Kennedy chose Ball
on the basis Of his qualifications,
not his political preferences.
WILLARD WRIT as No. 2 man
in the Dept. of Labor and NEW
TON MINOW as head of the Fed
eral Communications Commission:
Not only are they Stevenson's law
partners, these men also are ex-
perts in their own right. With
Minow in the FEC it is safe to as
sumo that the days when television
channels are awarded on the basis
of connections" with political fix
ers are over.
The naming of Arthur Goldberg
as Secretary of Labor is a sign
that Kennedy wants a well-balanc-
ed man to handle labor-manage-
ment affairs; but also one who
knows that men who live by the
sweat of their brows are not poems.
The selection Of Arthur Sylvest-
er Of The Newark News as the De-
Tense Departments public affairs
chief means Pentagon bureaucrats
will no longer be able to conceal
their blunders with a top secret"
stamp. Sylvester Is an outstanding
newspaperman.
But, perhaps, the bravest ap-
pointment of all was the selection
of ROBERT c. WEAVER as chief
of the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. It's not only that he is a
Negro, although Harvard-bred. It's
not even that he has been head Of
the NAACP that makes the choice
significant.
! The designation Of Weaver Is
deliberate notice to the Southern
extremists that Kennedy Is ready
to take them on If they persist in
their resistance tothe elevation of
Negroes to the status Of first-class
citizens.
Kennedy recently told a news
paper columnist that he is well
aware he may be only a one-term
President But any man who has so
aroused the expectations Of the
nation need not worry about public
rejection.
When this nations mood is OPP
timistic it moves ahead. The at
mosphere here is now electric with
optimism. I am fully convinced
that under John F. Kennedy we
are about to take giant strides
forward.

national affairs, the Hitler Nazis,
movement, the Popular Front, the
Communists, domestic and foreign,
the development of the Free French
movement, the creation Of the
State of Israel, and the attempts
to bring democracy to italy.
So, as lawyers say let us stip-
ulate' that I have seen many
things, even If I have not always
understood them.
I mention all this as a prelude
to what I want to say on the eve
of the inaugural Of John F. Ken
nedy as President Of the United
States:
Through a long career in and
around the area of public affairs
I have never seen a national ad-
ministration take office with men
of as high calibre as those named
by Mr.. Kennedy to fill out the key
positions in the federal govern
ment. OF the dozens Of appoint
ments that have already been
made, I can only think Of two
about which I have serious reser-
vations. That gives Kennedy bat
ting average of something around
.9OO-or an "A plus.
Several things stand out about
the Kennedy appointments: Z
First, this young President is
completely unworried about nam
ing some Of the brainiest men in
the nation to work with him.
Whereas someone else might be in
clined to surround himself with
yes men,, Kennedy has chosen
men with minds of their own.
There are those who think this is
dangerous in politics; regard it
as a hopeful sign for the future.
Second, Kennedy has not only
named first-rate men for most Of
the Cabinet jobs-he has continued
to name the best men available for
the working and planning levels of
government

Reading Dynamics
Forming New Classes
Widely Acclaimed Course Increases Reading
Speeds 3 to 10 Times, Improves Comprehension

Reading Dynamics teaches a
completely different technique
that involves reading down the
page, rather than from left to
right, absorbing the meaning of
whole areas of a page at one
time. This method is based on
years of research into the tech
niques of people who read with
outstanding speed and compre-
hension.
No machines are used in
teaching Reading Dynamics
nor can it be taught by the cor
respondence method. Personal
attention in small classes by
highly-trained teachers is re-
quired to master Reading Dy-
namics' unique techniques for
speed and comprehension.
The price of the course is
$3.50, which includes a mini
mum of 30 hours of instruction,
workbook and required texts.
Special assistance is available
at no extra cost. Group plans
are available to industrial, mill
tary, government or social
organizations either at the ad-
dress below or at their own
location.

Reading Dynamics, the unique
course that teaches people to
read 8 to 10 times faster with
improved comprehension, is
now forming extra day and
evening classes to meet the
heavy local demand.
Those who have taken the
course and practiced at home
one hour day have increased
their reading speed by at least
3 times. Others have been able
to achieve speeds of 10 times
their beginning rate. A few with
special aptitude have learned
to read 100 times faster.
Among the students have
been executives, scientists, pro-
fessional men and women and
educators. U. S. Senators and
Congressman have taken the
course and demonstrated their
progress on a nationwide TV
show. Reports on this new read
ing technique have appeared in
Time, NeWsweek and major
newspapers.
Reading Dynamics is differ
ent from other reading courses
both in method and results.
Most reading courses achieve
a slight improvement by teach
ing a person how to read better
in his conventional way.
