PORTRAIT OF AN INDEPENDENT
New York's Controversial Mr. Kennedy

said this would be q form Of
segregation in itself and that he
would not make Harlem "a black
precinct"
In a city with many racial ele-
ments, Mr.. Kennedy is particularly
on guard against any nightstick
justice that could raise charges of
police brutality. Some policemen
feel this handicaps them in keep
ing order.
On Corruption
A citizens committee, composed
largely of theatrical and literary
people, said the door to police
corruption was opened by the city's
requirement that cabaret people
must have police identity cards
and be fingerprinted every two
years.
Mr.. Kennedy began probe and
threatened to ban entertainment
privileges of such places as the
Stork Club and the Copacabana
for not having 81 cabaret licenses
for allowing people to work with
out identity cards.
A more pressing headache to
Mr.. Kennedy is the avowed ef-
fort of the Patrolmen's Benevolent
Association to have him ousted.
A PBA advertisement said "the
straw that broke the camel's
back" was Kennedy's ban on

contends that moonlighting is
hurting the mems chances of
getting higher police pay.
The policemen emphasized their
protest against Mr.. Kennedys ban
on "moonlighting" by issuing traf-
fic tickets lat almost twice the
usual number.
Motorists screamed but MIR.
Kennedy said he was glad to
see the policemen enforcing the
law-and that the number Of &C.

President Kennedy and the
Democratic controlled 87th Con-
gress have the best prospects yet
for enacting the nations first
general Federal aid to education
law.
AS the new Administration
takes office, the big question Is
to what extent the President will
use the powers of the White
House to push such legislation
through Congress. The major OPP
position again will be in the
House and mainly from Republic
cans and Southern Democrats. II
the new Administration exhibits
the same enthusiasm and deter
mination to enact broadly based
legislation at the school and COL
lege level. as was promised dur
ing the campaign, then the out
look is that Congress will follow
the Presidents leadership. \
Before the election-especially
in the TV debates - President
Kennedy made Federal aid to
education one of his top priority
issues. He not only committed
himself to Federal funds for
school construction. which passed
the House last May, but strongly
Endorsed the controversial prin-
ciple Of Federal money to raise
public school teachers salaries.
In addition he pledged Federal
support to colleges through pro-
grams to expand scholarships. in
crease student loans, and con-
struct academic as we'll as more
residential buildings.

the governments establishment.
First, the antagonistic reaction
of Americans was stronger than
anticipated. in spite of Canada's
unquestionable right as sove-
reign nation to trade with whom
she pleases.
Second, the Canadian newspa-
pers and people proved unexpect-
eddy critical Of the governments
position. being largely unmoved
by anti-American sentiment to
which the governments policy
pandered.
Third. the Canadian government
became belatedly aware that allie
cations of the communism of the
Castro regime were not just Amer
lean propaganda.
Fourth. the Cubans failed to
produce the dollars to back up
their talk of large-scale buying
for cash: in dickering with Cana
dian manufacturers. the Cubans
sought long term credit.
Mail Was Critical

bakers first inkling that he was
in trouble was, suspect, the heavy

trade with Castro policy that
came to him and his cabinet
ministers before Christmas. Edi-

for long-range detection of enemy

ships were built at a cost of $S.7

Admirol's Testimony
But about the same time an
interesting piece of testimony
came to light in Washington. Vice
Admiral r. B. Pirie. deputy chief
Of naval air operations, told

mittee that blimps ARE not as
effective as aircraft in the per-

they have to perform now"

reaction time to get to a contact.
The aircraft has something like
four times the speed in being able
to get there :. We could not take
blimp into a combatant area be-
cause 1t would be shot down in a
minute"
The witness also noted that
blimps were costly to run for
antisubmarine and early warning
picket duty.
I'VE now think that 1t Is not as
economical nor as effective a
weapon system as heavier-than-
air craft, but we would not want to
cut it off until we are absolutely
sure" he said.
A Series Accident
A serious blow came in July last
year. One Of the new blimps, sum-
moned to rescue racing sloop off
the New Jersey shore, inexplicably
collapsed and fell into the ocean,
drowning II crew members.

words. airplanes later finished the
blimp's mission and located the
sloop without trouble.
Asked what the status Is Of
blimps today. a Navy spokesman
put it this way:

each year. and it's just what you
can afford In order of priority.

The Chances for Effective School Aid Bill Are Greater Now

executive secretary Of the Ma

points out that a new survey Of
State teachers associations shows
that "23 out of 80 Estate educa-
ton associations report it would

stitutional changes before con-
struction funds could be diverted
for teachers salaries or any other
USE"

letters to the editor swelled the
criticism
Mr.. Diefenbaker could not re-
verse his normal trade policy
without appearing to be bowling
to pressure from Washington.
Instead, the administration sought
to minimize the effect of trade
with Cuba on the United States
embargo, to put it in a light more
favorable to Canada, and to choke
off unseemly enthusiasm.
After two weeks delay that was
costly in United States good will,
Mr.. Diefenbaker and Mr.. Hees
finally stated publicly that stra-
tegic goods, and goods of United
States origin, would not be sold to
Castro. One can only guess at the
reason for this delay. One guess is
that public admission of this par
tial Canadian embargo weakened
the domestic image Of Mr.. Diefen-
baker standing UP to the United
States-a phrase he has used to
describe his resolute nationalism.

The Rules Committee

Two factors, new this session,
will help proponents of such a
measure. If the House takes &C
ton to break the stranglehold of
the Rules Committee ON legiSla-
tion-which successfully prevent
ed House-Senate conference on
Federal aid to education last sum-
mer-then this serious roadblock
will have been removed. Also, if
as now seems likely, the previous
supporters of an amendment to
deny Federal funds to segregated
schools decide that this problem
can better be handled by the De-
partment of Justice and therefore
does not require legislative action,
then many liberal Southerners
will be able to back a general Fed
eral aid to education bill.
On the other hand the ranks Of
liberal Democrats were thinned
bit by the election. The prospects
are that Minority Leader Halleck
will have a pretty solid phalanx
of Republicans voting against
either fairly large bill in terms
of dollars or one that permits
Federal funds-even at State OPP
tion-to pay teachers salaries.

Benefit Of West

argued that Canada Cuba trade

In Connecticut

For example, the Connecticut
State Teachers Association re-
ported that State school building
funds in Connecticut cannot be
used to pay teachers salaries.
The Wyoming State Teachers
Association commented that ANY
school support bill passed by
Congress which would be limited
solely to school construction would
do absolutely nothing for the
schools of Wyoming in relieving
any funds for other school pur-
poses"
Also, in many cities like New
York and Baltimore, where the
schools are administered as a
part of the local city government,
money released by Federal grants
for school construction would in
all probability be absorbed by
other capital outlay needs such
as fire houses, sewage disposal
plants or streets.
Indications at present point to
administration legislation priority
for school needs and later for a
substantial Federal program of
college academic buildings. Fed

Mail Was Critical

The chief difficulty in the
House is Speaker Rayburn's OPP
position to Federal funds for
teachers salaries which he stated
publicly last December. He is said
to share Mr.. Nixon'S view that
such action means Federal con-
troll. However, if the freedom of
choice bill is first passed by the
Senate. then it is possible that.
after Mr.. Rayburn fully under
stands the freedom Of choice
principle, sufficient presidential
pressure will persuade him to go
along.

heighten the urgency with
which we consider our own re-

When I left Washington on

hope that our journey to West

would prove to be a mission
for peace that would remove
anxieties between friends and
strengthen the securities for
freedom. 1t was in that spirit
that our mission was under
taken, and it was in that same
spirit that we were received
and welcomed by everyone in
Bonn and in Berlin.
The Communist threat to
Berlin is very real and is but a
part of the continuing struggle
between the world of freedom
and the world CT coercion. As
a result of our mission l be-
lieve that we will be better able
to meet whatever the future
may bring because of the
greater unity of purpose and
the reaffirmation of common
policies achieved in our recent
discussions.
