S WHITE
Moderate COMMITTED Takes Over
As Public Attention Shifts Downtown

The color. the controversy
and occasionally some un-
missed nonsense, too-have
gone from Congress. One of
the striking facts of today
is that this place, which used
to be the home of a constant
clamor, for good or evil, has
now become the quietest part
of the American Government.
The White House under
President Kennedy monop-
olizes public interest, and the
interest of politicians them
selves, as it has not done
since Franklin Roosevelt.
Even the Supreme Court, far
less august than it used to
be land maybe less august
than it ought to be-, is a
more interesting" institution
CIldn CIle CaplCOl.
TINS is true il only be-
cause the court is more un-
predictable and more given
to the utterance of passion
ate rhetoric.
What factors have sent
Congress into these compar-
ative silences and made it
a sober, work-a-day body-a
little dull if by no means
ineffective?
The answers lie in men
and in circumstances. In
the first place, Mr.. Kennedy
himself is an ex-Man of Con-
greSs. When he took office
he set out to persuade but
not to command his former
colleagues on Capitol Hill.
Inevitably, this working prin-
ciple has offered little op-
portunity for congressional
tongues to be raised in par
tisan anger or institutional
jealousy.
Then, this is a Congress
in which no party, no ideol-
ogy, has a really free run.
While the Democrats in the
Senate are strong, numer-
ically, the party division in
the House is closer. The
truth is that both cham
bers are controlled by a mod
erate-minded center made up
of both parties. There is
not much room or tempta-
ton here for issuing ulti-
matumS, either to the White
House or to any disagreeing
congressional group.
Again, and perhaps most
important of all. there is the
fact that the brilliant and

tions Commission - almost a
second punishment or a
blackmailing effort-to re-
woke or reconsider the tele-
vision licenses of any COM
pany that had been found
guilty in the previous illegal
ALLEGATION of markets.
In short, I can see trend
of attitude and thinking and
action on the fringes of this
administration-perhaps al
ready reaching well into it or
perhaps ultimately reaching
we'll into it-that can be
highly disturbing to the
American economy and to
business recovery and the
ability of future business
levels to handle the unem-
ployment problem.
1T seems to me that this
is the result of either one of
two things:
81. There is no understand
ing on the part of many peo-
pie around the administration
as to what makes the econ
omy tick, Or
"2. There is a determined
effort on the part of some
to make it necessary for the
Government ultimately to
occupy and take over a far
larger segment of responsible
ity-a trend toward a more
socialistic state"
While the foregoing sums
up the attitude also of many
other observers of Washing
ton affairs who are concerned
with the economic outlook,
some of the same ideas are
being expressed in congress
sional circles. Many members
of Congress are shaking their
heads, and in talking private
ly, they express deep concern
about the business outlook.
For many weeks now, the
tone of nearly all public
statements has been optimis-
tic, and it has been insisted
that an economic recovery
is under way.
UnqueStionably, the country
is recovering from the recent
recession. What concerns
many of the observers is not
what might happen in the
way of an upturn in the
next few months, but whether
a deep recession might be
taking place in 1962-an
election year. This, of course,
would hurt the Democratic
Party, whereas a consistent
boom would naturally help
the party in power.

TOKYO, July 10 (AP) -
Foreign Minister Chen vi of
Communist China declared yes
terday Red China will "abide
by the 1857 Moscow declara-
ton and the 1860 Moscow state
ment." the New China news
agency reported.
Mr.. Chen's statement seemed
to be an answer to worldwide
reports that there is a serious
rift between Moscow and
Peiping on matters of party
doctrine.
BY the 1857 Moscow declara-
ton Mr.. Chen presumably re-
ferred to a peace manifesto
signed by the Communist
parties of "a nations indorsing
Soviet policies. The 1860 state
ment called for an end to an
theological quarrel in which
the Chinese insisted on the
need for forcible export of
communism to capitalist lands
and the inevitability of war as
against the Soviet idea that
communism will win the world
without war.
Addressing a rally in Peiping
marking the 40th anniversary
| of the Mongolian peoples revo-
luton, Mr.. Chen said:
THE Chinese people will un-
swervingly adhere to Marxism-
LeniniSm and proletarian in
ternationalism, abide by the
1857 Moscow declaration and
the 1860 Moscow statement,
forever closely unite with the
fraternal Mongolian people and
the peoples of the Soviet Union
and of other Socialist countries
and struggle for new victories
in our common cause.
China will firmly adhere to
a peaceful foreign policy and
make due contribution to the
fight against the aggressive
and war policy of the imperial
lists and to the preservation of
world peace"
He combined a denunciation
of the United States with
praise for Communist outer
Mongolia. The Kennedy admin
istration is considering the idea
of giving diplomatic recogni-
ton to Outer Mongolia, a for
mer Chinese province which
won independence with the
help of Soviet tropps in July,

Rusk Indicates
Reds Rejected
Attest Ban
By EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

Secretary of State Rusk said
today that "the underlying
crisis of our generation arises
from Russia'S failure to join
the United Nations "in fact, as
we'll as in form"
In a speech before a National
Press Club luncheon audience
Mr.. Rusk declared that the
central issue of the Soviet
imposed crisis lis the an
nounced determination to i'm
pose a world of coercion upon
those not already subjected to
it,"
He indicated the admins
tration now considers the Sov-
let Union to have rejected the
nuclear test ban treaty. I'VE
cannot understand" he said,
chow the Soviet Union, which
has expended so much elo-
quence on disarmament, could
have rejected the reasonable
and workable for the ban of
nuclear testing which was
tabled at Geneva this spring"
Mr.. Rusk issued a broad at
tack on Soviet remuneration of
commitments to turn away
from violence and build a
world based on the rule of Jaw
where disputes were to be set
tied by negotiation.
THE possession of power was
transformed once more to am
bition for more power" the
Secretary said. The capacity
to defy law became a contempt
for law. Doctrines were revised
and adapted to promote an i'm
perialism as old as the tragic
history of man. An entire peo-
pie was sealed off from the rest
of the world and secrecy be-
cam a prime strategic weapon.
The institutions of the inter-
national community were either
ignored or undermined from
within"
Despite disappointments, the
Secretary said, the administra-
tion has felt it necessary ito
work diligently and realistical-
ly at the possibilities of dis
armament" He expressed hope
that Congress would support
President Kennedy's program
for establishing a new and ex-
panded disarmament agency.

Berlin crisis in his prepared
speech only in passing as one
of the forms in which The un-
derlying crisis" has shown it

Fears Voiced as to Effect on Economy
Of Actions at Fringes of Administration


ct and for the investor can
not be overlooked and must
be weighed fully in our policy
thinking.
Some of the areas which
give rise to concern about the
administrations attitudes to-
ward the business and eco
nomic community are these:
Appointments to the Fed
eral Power Commission and
to the Interior Department
to date have included a num-
ber of men with demon
strable bias in favor of pub
lie power development. The
regulated service industries
electricity, gas, communica-
tions and transportation
have made a major contribu-
ton to the economy over a
period of many years.
About 81 of every 81 of
business capital eXpend-
itureS this year will be made
by these industries. Appoint
ment of men to key regula-
tory positions who are un-
friendly to investor-owned
utility enterprises raises seri-
Gus questions.
Developing administration
attitudes toward business as
expressed in a number of
perhaps minor but increas-
ingly frequent actions deserve
careful watching and, in fact,
careful present appraisal.
Among these are the point
of view expressed by Lee
Loevinger, new head of the
Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice, who
was very critical of the size
of American Telephone &
Telegraph and made the
positive assertion that the
public service had suffered as
a result of the company's
size and activities. Here per-
haps is the best technical
service and best progress of
any industry in the country.
Then there is the grant,
ing of $60-odd millions in
loans to electric-power CO.
operatives in Southern Indi-
ana at a rate of 2 per cent.
In the same category is the
'bludgeoned' decree signed by
the four electrical equipment
manufacturers not to hurt
competition by selling at low
prices!

DAVID LAWRENCE

Fluctuations in the stock
market are not the only sign
of apprehension in the busi-
ness world. Lately there have
been many private express
sions among businessmen to
the effect that. if President
Kennedy himself realized the
hostility and a n It a goni S m
which his lieutenants are STIR
ring up in the business world.
he would be amazed. The ad-
ministration's behavior in vir-
tually ostracizing the BuSi-
ness Advisory Council, which
has served the United States
Department of Commerce for
many years, is a case in
point.
Perhaps the most interest
ing of the viewpoints being
expressed by businessmen is
one that appeared in a memo
randum privately circulated
recently in different parts of
the country by a trained OBJ
server. It was given in the
form of advice to investors
with respect to the business
outlook, and was not intended
in any way for publication.
But excerpts from it did get
into print, and here are some
of them:
II would like to call to
your attention a series of de-
velopmentS in the political
area which gives me cause
for great concern in respect
to the intermediate-term out
look for business, and partic-
ularly for the vitality of this
recovery.
This development is the
apparent antagoniStic atti-
tude of certain of those in the
administration in Washing
ton toward buSiness-particu-
larly large corporate business.
My concern is not based on
specific or overt statements
or actions of the President
himself, but rather is based
on developm e mt S at the
fringeS of the administration.
Adding up the evidence
which has appeared on the
tringeS produces a suggestion
that some of those in the ad-
miniStration really do not
know fully what makes our
economic clock tick.

able implications for the

President Kennedy asked the
American people today to sup
port his embattled foreign aid
program as vital step for our
own security and the fight for
peace"
The President told a group
of foreign aid hackers that IF
the United States is not en-
gagged in this program, then
other countries must inevitably
fall" to the Communists.
In a brief talk in the White
HouS rose garden, Mr.. Kennedy
said America cannot live in an
isolated world" This country,
he said, is committed to main
tanning the independence of
nations in Latin America, At
rica and Asia. Referring to the
foreign aid program, the Presi-
dent said, II would much
rather have us do it this way
than have to send American
boys to have to do it,"
80 Leaders Meet
Some 80 top business, labor
and civic leaders met with the
President to tell him of their
plans to develop public support
for the foreign aid bill.
Warren Lee Pierson, chair
man of the newly formed Cit
liens Committee for Interna-
tional Development, told Mr..
Kennedy, "We're going to Go
our best to see the bill is
passed"
The President, who returned
earlier this morning from a
week end on Cape Cod, de-
scribed the foreign aid bill as
probably the most vital piece
of legislation in the national
interest before this session of
Congress-"
He stressed the Importance
of his request for .ong-term
authorizations, saying that past
efforts to run the program on
a year-to-year basis showed the
results "are bound to be hap
hazard"
He promised that admins
tration of the program would
be improved. We're getting the
best talent we can get," Mr..
Kennedy said.
Among those meeting with
the President were: Daniel w.
Bell, chairman of the American
Security & Trust Co.; o. Roy
Chalk, president of D. C. Tran
sit; Alfred M. Greunther, presi-
dent of the American Red
Gross; Bryce Harlow, former
deputy assistant TO President
Eisenhower; George Meany,
president of the AFL-CIO;
David Sarnoff, chairman of the
Radio Corp. of America, and
Thomas j. Watson, jr., preSi-
dent of international Business
Machines, Inc.
Both the House and Senate
committees handling the for
eign aid bill made some pro-
gress today, but only on minor
details.
The Senate committee had
only 8 of its II members pres
ent and is putting off major
decisions until later in the week.
Peaceful Atoms Backed
The most important action
taken by the Senate group to-
day was to authorize the Presi-
dent to use some economic aid
money to promote peaceful uses
of atomic energy in under
developed countries.

Home Takes On Luxurious Look
With Fine Paneling in Hardwood

A real touch of romance" is
being built into modern homes,
new and remodeled, with the
growing use of the lovely ex-
attic woods in hardwood wall
paneling.
Since ancient times, these
rare woods were reserved for
royalty, and more recently
have appeared only as luxury
ious accents in furniture.
Now, according to the Fine
Hardwoods Association, the
science of veneering has made
it possible to use the golden
brown of teak, dark renw of
rosewood, creamy tones of lace
wood, pale yellow of satinwood
and other exotic colorful woods
to create dramatic effects in
paneling at a moderate cost.
Used in combination with
popular hardwoods, such as
birch, ash, oak, mahogany,
walnut, cherry and others,
these exotic woods widen the
range of fabulous colors, wood
figures and grains to offer ex-
citing new beauty in paneling.
The "pop-eyed" and styled
"knotty" look restricting wood
paneling to dens and playrooms
has given way to the elegance
of rich hardwoods, returned at
last to their rightful place in

Since no single exterior paint

building materials, the paint
industry has developed a mum.
Der Of different finishes specifi-
cally designed for each surface.
A paint system refers to the
proper combination of primer
or undercoat end top-coat.
New and most versatile is the

introduced widely last year by
many companies. Once the sur.

house paints connt be applied.
These paints have the advan-

surfaces, are less likely to Bills
