to the White House when he
left the Inaugural Ball at the
Statler- Hilton Hotel at 1:46
am.
The motorcycle police escort
had been dismissed because it
was felt that the weary police
men would not be needed for
the short ride to the White
House. But as soon as he STEP
ped into his car. Mr.. Kennedy
directed that he be driven to
Mr.. Alsop's home.
And so off he went, followed
by q carload Of Secret Service
agents, and half a dozen cars
carrying reporters and news
photographers.
AS the procession rode
along q circuitous route to
Georgetown, Metropolitan Po-
lice Capt John G. Williams,
who following, called on his
radio for reinformements.
Traffic Snarl Develops
The police reinforcements got
to the corner Of Dumbarton
avenue and Twenty-eighth
street a few minutes after the
Kennedy encourage arrived,
and had their hands full
Strengthening out a traffic
Snarl.
When his limousine pulled up
In front of the Alsop home. Mr..
Kennedy jumped out ahead of
the Secret Service agents and
raced along up the steps to the
door. He stood there for a mo-
ment or two welding the door
knocker with no response.
Reporters and police alike
who saw the scene commented
that it would have won some
newsphotographer a prize. But
the youthful President was too
quick for the weary photog-
raphers who were not able to
get to the scene from their car
several lengths back in the
motorcade In time to make
what might have been the pic
ture Of the year-the President
Of the United States knocking
at the front door of somebody
who did not know he was there
Mr.. Kennedy entered the
Alsop home shortly before
2 am. and he did not leave
until 1921 am.
In the meantime the idling
automobiles in the presidential
motorcade attracted consider
able attention.
At least two couples ap-
parently thought it a good
time to pay a neighborly call
at the Alsop home. Trudging
up the street in evening clothes,
they got only as far as the door
Another neig hbor from
around the corner on Twenty
eighth street, who obviously did
not know that the President OF
the United States was the
cause Of all the commotion
was mad at everybody because
he could not find a place to
park his automobile close tc
his home.
He complained vehemently
to Sergt. Harold r. Cohea o.

Of all the policemen standing
around was ticketing the 800
cars" parked within 40 feet o.
an intersection when he alwayl
got q ticket for doing that.
Won't Give Name
Sergt. Cohea asked the irat'
man in evening clothes If h,
had correctly stated that ther,
were 500 autos involved, looking
around the dozen or less cars
including police vehicles. Whel
a reporter asked the George
towner his name, he backe,

Kennedy had left their new
home In the White House at
sos pm. to start their round
Of after-dark activities.
They went first to the Inau-
gural Ball at the Mayflower
Hotel, dropped in briefly for a
visit with Conrad Hilton in a
private room across from the
crowded ballroom in the Statler
Hotel. going on from there to
the big Inaugural Ball at the
Armory.
Mrs. Kennedy Very Tired
They then drove across town
and up a part of Rock Greek
parkway. moving sometimes at
40 miles per hour under police
motorcycle escort. to the Sher-
aton-Park Hotels VIP entrance
at the southeast corner.
When the President got out
there to go into the crowded
ballroom, Mrs. Kennedy stayed
in the White House Limousine
and went back home to bed for
her first night in the Executive
Mansion. This was shortly after
1890 am.
Inside the ballroom at the
Sheraton-Park, as wellwiShers
crowded around the Presidents
box, an announcer told the
crowd that Mr.. Kennedy had
asked him to convey Mrs. Ken
nedy's regrets for not coming in.
"She has had a long day.
she is very tired and has gone
home" the inaugural celebra-
tors were told.
From the Sheraton-Park,
Mr.. Kennedy and his escort
drove around to the rear en-
trance to the Shoreham Hotels
grand ballroom.
The President told the
Shoreham crowd that they
seemed to dance more and
better than they do at any
other balls"
He said it had been a
memorable day for the john
sons and the Kennedys." Vice
President johnson and his wife,
Lady Bird. also were sitting in
the presidential box.
An announcer at the Shore
ham had told the crowd there
before Mr.. Kennedy spoke that
the President wanted them to
know Mrs. Kennedy was sorry
she could not be there but she
had a terrible evening" and
had been on the go so much
she had gone home early.
Still Recuperating
Mrs. Kennedy still is recu-
perating from the Caeserian
delivery Of John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, jr., two months ago
next Wednesday. She had
looked unusually we'll during
the day and early part of the
evening. She had left the
presidential reviewing stand at
the north end of the White
House grounds after watching
only q portion of the parade
In order to store up energy
to make 1t to the two balls
she did attend.

Postmaster General and Stew

Interior.
Senator Allott based his OPP
position solely on the ground
that Robert Kennedy has not
had sufficient experience as a
lawyer to be the Governments
chief legal officer.
Senator Dirksen of Illinois
and Hruska of Nebraska, Re-
publican members of the Judi
ciary Committee, agreed with
the argument on lack of legal
experience but said they were
voting for Mr.. Kennedy on the
ground that, if the President
wants an administrator rather
than a legal expert, it Is the
Presidents responsibility.
As chairman of the Repub-
lican Policy Committee, Sem
ator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire needed the Democrats
for having refused last year to
give President Eisenhower the
man he wanted for Secretary
Of Commerce-Lewis L. Strauss
with the Republicans now
giving President Kennedy q
free hand in picking his cabi-
net.
Stevenson Included
In addition to the ten cabi-
net officers, the Senate will act
today on the appointment Of
Adlai Stevenson to be American
ambassador to the United Ma
tions.
A Saturday session was nee
essary to get prompt action on
the new cabinet because of a
Senate rule requiring nomina-
tions to lie over one day after
they are received. Mr.. Kennedy
could not submit the nominal
tions until after he had taken
the oath of office yesterday.
He filled out the necessary
papers at the Capitol as soon as
he had been sworn in, and the
Senate reconvened Immediately
to receive them.
Although all Senate COM
mittees having jurisdiction
have held public hearings and
voted on all IL Of the appointees
in anticipation Of their appoint
ment, Senate leaders made no
attempt to waive the rule
requiring a one-day lay-over.
Delay Avoided

Propaganda Test

1t was not only a military de-
feat. but a propaganda one as
well. Retreating troops went wild.
This led to the same criticism
from abroad that Leo2oldville
suffered in July, 1860.
The central government gained
unexpected support yesterday
from Baluba forces within Albert
vile, an important trade center
In the northeast corner of Ka-
tanga. Long hostile to the
Tshombe regime, the Balubans
seized control of the city, and
called for Leopoldville help. 1t
is still too early. however, to
estimate the military significance
Of the action.
Several African countries, i'm
patient with efforts to defeat Mr..
Tshombe, have called tomorrow's
Security Council meeting. 1t is
known that they want a full
fledged attack on Katanga, but
to do so would violate the U. N.
Charter which forbids internal in
terference.
On the other hand, U. N. re-
fusal to act may lead Mr.. Adoula
to seek outside help, presumably
from the Soviet bloc. Russian
troops in the Congo would cause
severe repercussions in the West.
and would further aggravate the
world situation.

pie and investments would be
given the buns rush. They may
have hoped that by dangling New
Guinea just beyond reach and
negotiating for its transfer, In
donesia could be made to behave.
Indonesion Irritation
The policy did not work. Dutch
Indonesian relations went from
bad to worse. Perhaps Indone-
sia's irritation and Illustration
over the loss of New Guinea con-
tributed to the breakdown in re-
lations; the Indonesians so con-
tend.
At any rate, IndoneSia turned
out to be for Holland more or less
what Castro's Cuba has been for
the United States. President Su-
karno confiscated Dutch assets
valued by the Dutch at more than
50 billion.
The Dutch then had West New
Guinea on their hands-a politi-
cal and financial embarrassment,
a bargaining asset without ne
gotiable value. This year they hit
upon a novel scheme: Why not
give it to the U. NJ?
This would lead to independence.
the Dutch were confident. The
Indonesians obviously fear so.
They see the plan, no doubt cor
rectly, as a scheme to take the
territory permanently away from
them.
So Indonesia has sought to
rally the Afro-Asian bloc to de-
feat the Dutch plan.
But this is the rub. The Afro
Asians have campaigned fur
iously for years for an end to
colonialism, and are doing so
again at this very moment. Here
the Dutch are offering to give
up a colony. How can the A-A
bloc, of all people, rebuff such
an offer?
The Dutch are sporting halos
that shine a block away. They

Union Urged

The U. N. recognized, though
that a united Congo was neces-
sary for economic stability, and
has urged Mr.. Tshombe to rejoin
the Congo. Such efforts have been
in vain.
All last summer, Premier Adoula
Uumumba's successor) threat
ened to invade Katanga and thus
provoke disastrous civil war, de-
spite a U. N. resolution last Feb
ruary authorizing the Congo COM
mand to use force if necessary to
prevent such an outbreak.
Mr. Hammarskjold resorted to
this resolution in September when
he authorized a sudden U. N. at
tack on the Katanga capital of
Elisabethville. He intended to seize
control of communications and
force Katanga to rejein the
Congo, heading off war.
Katanga defeated the small
U N. force. however, and die
tated cease fire on its own
terms. Mr.. Adoula tried to sue
ceed 10 days ago where the U. N.
failed, but his central forces also
were defeated.

Student Riots

In recent weeks, students and
workers have rioted in the streets
OF Quito and Guayaquil against
Mr.. Ibarra, Last week, the threat
of civil war was so imminent that
the army asked Mr.. Ibarra to re-
sign. For the third time in his
life. Mr.. Tparra complied.
Afraid of Mr.. AroSemena's leftist
support. the army tried to force
a supreme court justice into the
presidency, by-passing the con-
stitution tthe 18th since Ecuador
became a republic). The Congress
and air force refused. however.
and the appearance of three jet
aircraft over Quito won their case.
Observers noted with some de-
gree of satisfaction that as in
Brazil the constitution was fol-
lowed in choosing successor, de-
spite right-wing attempts to i'm
pose a ruler of their own.
The new president, however,
will have the same economic prob
lens as his predecessor. Unless he
can gain the support of all the
elements in society. he probably
will have no better luck in dealing
with them than Mr.. Ibarra.

HoHings' Idea

Gov. Ernest F. Hollings was
accused by the NAACP of inject
ing the race issue into his cam
paign to unseat Senator Olin
Johnston in 1852 when he said
that the Senator, who is chairman
of the Post Office Committee,
could get Mr.. Law fired again.
The Governor replied that the
NAACP statement was an appar-
ent confirmation of "the rumors
that Senator Johnston made a
deal for NAACP support next
year"
In another race-iSsue develop
ment, the Congress of Racial
Equality called off a planned
Freedom Ride to protest the
segregated restaurants which line
Route 40 in Maryland and Della

. the Japanese have about the fox
"a semisacred animal with them
is that, If you chance to see
one crossing your path in the
morning, all that comes before
your vision on that day will be
illusion. AS an illustration of
this belief it is related that a

tion of Krakatoa, when the heav-
ems were covered with blackness
and kindled with intermitting
flashes and the earth shaken by
the detonations, and when all
others, thinking the end of the
world had come, were swooning
with extreme fear, viewed it with
out tremor as a very sublime
but illusory spectacle. For on that
very morning he had seen a fox
cross his path.

In Africa, where pure self-de-

On the other hand, Africa pas

Congo:
A New Test

The Security Council is sched-
uled to discuss the stormy de-
velopments in the Congo to-
morrow.
When the United Nations was
asked to intervene in the Congo
in July. 1860, its mission was
clear: To restore order through
out the country. Its mission has
not been as clear since.
At that time, the Congo was in
a state of chaos. Tribes were
slaughtering each other. the army
had mutinied, and rich Katanga
province had seeded.
In addition, hated Belgian para
troopers had returned to restore
order and protect the white set
tiers. Premier Lumumba, however,
considered the Belgians as in
vaders and not protectors and de-
manded their expulsion.
Initially, the U. N. took over
command Of the airports and ma
jor buildings from the BelgianS.
And by the beginning of August,
