Most Presidents have been
likable persons, and so is
John F. Kennedy. But is the
reader interested in q writ
er's personal likes or dislikes
or in an objective appraisal
Of q public officials acts?
Is a President best served by
those who seek to curry favor
with him or by those who
point out the errors in the
hope that corrective meas
ureS will be taken which will
enable a President to win
and retain public confidence?
Today if there is one thing
President Kennedy needs, it
is constructive criticism about
the way he is conducting his
job. It has been said that he
is in process of being
educated" in the presidency
and that one should "give
him time" This is true, but
the big question is whether
the President is on the right
track. Has he as yet sensed
his own real difficulty? An
article In the current issue
of Time Magazine says:
"Kennedy's administration
is still young, still searching
for the right formulas. De-
spite the failure of the Cuban
invasion and the foolish un-
certainty over the tractor
deal, there will be other next
times for John Kennedy to
redeem his reputation as a
political leader of potential
greatness. Yet If the pattern
persists, there will be a clear
and present danger that
President Kennedy, sur
rounded as he Is by a din Of
conflicting advisory voices,
may lose the confidence nee
essary to guide the Nation
through such coming Strug-
giles as Berlin"
Virtually the same points
were made a few days ago
in the London Times and the
London Sunday Telegraph in
dispatches from their Wash
ington correspondents, which
were not only read in Great
Britain but reprinted else
where.
Today the, Nation is reading
the news that q former Chief
of Staff Of the Army, Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor. has been

The sharpest contest with
in decades already is develop
ing for the Republican Pres
idential nomination Of 1864.
Former Vice President
Richard Nixon, the party's
barely defeated candidate in
1860, is being heavily chal-
lenged on the left flank by
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller Of
New York and even more
heavily challenged on the
right by Senator Barry Gold
water Of Arizona.
Only a year ago the one
possible rival to Mr.. Nixon
was Gov. Rockefeller, the
symbol of a modern" and
liberal big-city Republican
ism. Today the stronger rival
seems to be Senator Gold
water. He typlfieS the pre-
else opposite-a small-town
and rural Republicansim Of
the most conservative sort
seen in this country since be-
fore Calvin Coolidge.
This movement of the new
conservatism would have re-
jected the late Robert /. Taft
of Ohio as too liberal" And
it is already rejecting Mr..
Nixon on the same ground.
Curiously, too. its core Of
strength lies not in the ell
derly or middle-aged. but
rather in the very ;oung.
There is a counter-revoM-
ton on the college campuses.
For more than 20 years they
produced, particularly in the
East, a succession of grad
yates who tended to be Dem
ocratic - and liberal DEM
ocratic at that. Now many
Evening star., 1961-06-28

Rockefeller on Left, GoIdw0ter on Right

are saying farewell not only
to the New and Fair Deals,
but also even to the kind Of
relatively liberal Republican,
ism embodied by former Pres
ident Dwight Eisenhower.
In obviously significant
numbers they are turning to
an ultra -Republicanism, and
also back toward isolation
ism.
The struggle for the 1864
nomination, therefore. is
turning into one of a kind
entirely new to the presently
dominant political genera
ton of middle-aged men.
Many ironies are being seen.
Mr.. Nixon, for example. now
finds himself in the novel po-
sition of being attacked not
from the left but from. the
right.
The man who only two
years ago was vulnerable
most Of all to critics charges
that he was "too tough"
both as a partisan and as
an anti Communist, now
finds himself branded as too
soft" and not partisan
enough.
He is being compelled now
to offer defenses not for a
1860 campaign against Pres
ident Kennedy that was too
harsh, but rather for one
not harsh enough. This sit
uation has been illustrated
in several ways, but never so
plainly as in the recent
Young Republicans conven-
ton in Minneapolis.
While presumably pro-
Nixon officials were elected

COP. Clash for "a Nomination

by this group, Senator Gold
water was the true conven-
ton hero. For the platform
adopted by the Young Repub-
licanS was actually more con-
servative than is the Sem
ator, himself. Gov. Rookie
feller, parenthetically, seemed
almost absent in the figur-
ative sense.
All this Is both pleasing
and worrying. the organiza-
ton Republicans. They are
happy that a real fight for
the nomination is generat-
ing, for this will increase
public interest and provide
the drama necessary for rails
ing campaign money and get
ting out the vote.
But they are anxious lest

and Mr.. Nixon too. For

ing, professional Republicans.
While the growth Of the new
conservatism is beyond dis
pute, there is also the fact
that every election within
eight or nine years has in
dicated that the controlling
center of the voters does not
care for extremism in any
form.
So even though Senator
Goldwater's views are actually
closer to those of most of
the pros, most of the pros
still look upon Mr.. Nixon as
the better bet to beat Mr..
Kennedy in 1864. Moreover,
by tradition he is the real
leader of the COP. And,
as the saying goes, the ele-
phant rarely forgetS.

Luncheon follows either at

at the Spuyten Duyval right

Racing goes on all after

are placed for the nights

found under the yearling's
precious noses, or as far back

Americas school buildings,
with their great expanses of
windows, would be death
traps" for the Nations chill
dren in the event Of q nu-
clear attack, Representative
Chet Holifield, Democrat Of
California, warned today in
an informal discussion Of civil
defense with national leaders
Of B'nai Birth Women.
AS one means of meeting
the danger, Mr.. Holifield sug-
gested the construction of
underground school facilities
which would serve. a dual
purpose. 49,.
Underground
Gymnasiums, cafeterias,
assembly halls and even class
rooms are some Of the facil-
tiles that could be built un-
derground to serve as shell
ters in an emergency, he
noted.
Mr.. Holifield, who heads
the House Military Opera
tions Subcommittee which
has been holding hearings on
President Kennedy's civil de-
tense program, said such
structures already are being
designed for some schools in
the tornado areas of this
country.
Mrs. Moe Kudler of Los
Angeles, national president
of B'nai Birth Women, told
the Congressmen that the
135, ,000-member Jewish wom-
ems service organization is
ready to move forward with
the Presidents proposals.
Welcoming their support,
Mr.. Holifield stressed that,
at the present time, there is
no effective military defense
against missile attack.
AS a substitute, he con-
tinued, I'VE should have a
nationally planned and
funded system of under
ground shelters to protect
our citizens from nuclear
radiation which would be a
result Of the explosion of nu-
clear weapons.
Responsibility
His committee has taken
the position that such shell
CerS are the responsibility OF
the Federal Government, he
pointed out.
Unless our citizens have
protection to be able to alb
sorb an enemy attack, the
military part of our strength
cannot be exercised over a
given period of time" he
declared.
AS it is now, he said, the
United States is like a boxer
with a terrific punch but q
glass jaw. We can dish it
out, but we can't take IT,"
Mr.. Holifield took note of

but they are stocked with

their survival value.

with Mrs. Kudler took place
at the National B'nai Birth

several members of Mrs. Kud-
