THE POLITICAL MILL
Bv GOULD LINCOLN
Kennedy Gets ADA's Free Advice

than in anger, continued:
"The question we must face
bluntly and honestly is why
we are the girls who are al
ways invited to the autumn
proms and so often forgotten
in winter and spring. This is
not to say, of course. that
Mr.. Kennedy turned his back
on us as soon as we had
given him our ALL" But Mr..
Wechsler proceeded to criti-
cize Mr.. Kennedy for com
promise" and delay on the
kind of legislation promised
in the Democratic platform
and extolled by Mr.. Kennedy
during the campaign. He
suggested that what Mr..
Kennedy should do is to form :
a liberal Democratic-Republi-
can coalition-and that he
spend more time with Sena-
tor Case, Republican of New
Jersey, than with Senator
Harry Byrd of Virginia.
On the foreign policy side,
Mr.. Wechsler suggested that
we should take another look
at our position on recognition
of Red China and its admis-
sion to the United Nations.
The ADA, before it adjourned
Sunday, followed this up by
adopting a resolution urging
a start in that direction. Mr..
Wechsler also suggested that
this country should end its
rigidity toward the issue of
West Berlin, too. And he also
had bitter words in comment
on the Cuban invasion,
which the Kennedy admins
tration had fostered. "The
real disaster of Cuba" he
said, sis not merely the
tragic fate of noble men who
perished waiting for an up
rising that never occurred. It
is the mounting evidence
that our Government palpa-
bly, violated its own commit
ment with respect to non-
intervention and that it
cruelty lied to the American
people. It is the failure of
human intelligence as well
as the failure of military
intelligence"
Remarks by a Communist
The New York Times on
Sunday, while the ADA was
in session, published a Mos
COW dispatch quoting from
an article written by a lead
ing Soviet editor now visiting
the United States, in which
he too, expressed the view
that the American people are
greatly disappointed with the
Kennedy administration and
that their mood was con-
fused and depressed. The edi-
tor in question is Daniel F.
Kraminov of a weekly maga-
zine devoted to foreign af-
fairs. Mr.. Kraminov wrote
that the new Government
here was ignoring the will of
the people - a statement
which strangely parallels
some Of the comments made
at the ADA meeting. The
Russian insisted that the or
dinary Americans seemed to
understand the Importance
Of getting along with the
Soviet Union. This is good
Russian propaganda for
home conSumption-and per-
hapS for consumption here.
With luck, President Ken
nedy will pay little attention
to either Mr.. Wechsler or Mr..
Kraminov.

President John F. Kennedy,
in his brief tenure Of office,
has had some tough breaks
and some good ones. The
tough breaks have come in
the field of foreign policy,
perhaps the most vital field
for this country today. The
good ones have come in the
domestic field, where one of
the best has been a real up
turn in the economy-which
looked gloomy when he took
office and has given signs of
definite improvement. This
means more men and women
at work and improved busi-
ness and production. He has
also had far more success in
getting important parts Of
his dome estic program
Chrougn congress.
The fiasco of the American
aided invasion of Cuba by
anti-CaStro Cubans has been
a bitter blow. The present
uncertainties in Laos, which
the munists now
threaten to take over after
the formation of a coalition
government, are not helping
American prestige abroad or
giving any assurance to the
Still-free countries of South
east Asia that they will not
be the next on the list of
Communist aggression. Pres
ident Kennedy needs and
should be given the support
of a united country.
Barrage from Liberals
But what is the situation?
The President and his ad-
ministration are under fire
from the so-called liberals"
among them the ADA,
which supported him for
election and which makes
serious claims that it put
him across a winner, and
many college professors and
intellectuals. They all are
advising him on what to do
in regard to our relations
with the Communist bloc,
from Cuba to Soviet Russia
and Red China. Take a look
for example. at what James
Wechsler, editor Of the New
York Post, had to say in his
keynote speech at the meet
ing of the ADA in Washing

SpeurGuns Used
To Hijdck Ship

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug.
81 (AP).-The captain of a
50-foot Cuban motor vessel
said last night his passengers,
using underwater spear guns,
forced him to land on Jamaica's
north shore. \
Passengers said Of the 6-man
crew and SO passengers, only
the captain, a 60-year-old
woman and her two grandchil-
dren wanted to return to Cuba.
Police took the CubanS who
fled Fidel Castro's regime into
protective custody and released
no names or details of the hi
lacking. But passengers gave
this account:
Six passengers boarded the
ship Monday in Santiago, Cuba,
and by the time the ship
reached La Cueva in Southern
Cuba, the crew had been won
over to the plan of escaping.
In La Cueva, the other pas
SengerS came aboard, posing as
a skin diving group on holi-
day and carrying the spear
guns used in that sport.

Pair Of RenOirs
Acquired by
Gallery Here
By FRANK GETLEIN
Star Staff Writer

The National Gallery Of Arts
has acquired two decorative
canvasseS by the great French
impressionist Auguste- Renoir,
it was announced today by John
Walker, director.
The paintings, Girl with a
Basket of Fish" and Girl with
a Basket of Oranges" are the
gift of the late William Robert
son Coe of New York. Painted
about 1889, the pictures are
identical in size. Each shows
a young peasant girl in glow
ing landscape. b.
They were intended to be
seen together" said Mr.. Walker,
land represent an effort of the
artist to revive decorative
painting in France at a time
when it had almost ceased to
exist"
The director pointed out a
strong emphasis on drawing in
the pictures.
"Renoir," he said, "felt he
had reached the end of i'm
presSionism. After his italian
trip in the early 1905, he sub
mitted himself to the discipline
of contour drawing. The re-
suit is a combination of solid
drawing and vivid color decisive
in the emergence Of Renoir's
last and most monumental
period"
The acquisition Of the paint
ings, added to the National
GaIlery'S rich collection Of
Renoir. opens to view an i'm
portant transition in the art
lists career.
The paintings are similar to
a pair in the recently opened
Barnes collection, Merton, Pa.
Perry Colt, chief curator of the
National Gallery, said the CO.
pictures were clearly the one
owned by Renoir'S friend and
patron, Durand-Ruel. 1
