The shock Of the crash sent
the guards sprawling and when
they picked themselves up the
Ipswich was gone.
After this the King did not
know what to do for how could
he fight an enemy he could
not see? To make matters
worse, ever since the first ap-
pearances Of the Ipswich. the
palace itself had been haunted.
Not only did doors open and
close by themselves and sheets
slide from the Kings bed but
the King often heard whisper
ing sounds and creaking stairs
and tapping on the walls when
it was late at night and no
one around at all.
Meanwhile, the people were
sure that the next time the
Ipswich came it would step
right on their very own homes.
They howled for something to
be done and, since they
couldn't have the Ipswitch's
head, some even began to
clamor for the Kings head!
Poor Ferdinand! He sat in
his room and thought, "Oh,
dear, why did all this have to
happen so close to Christmas"
He remembered the letter to
Santa he had never finished
writing. "It's just as well," he
sighed. For by Christmas I
shall not even be here
anymore"

Hopeful Question Is Believed Stirred
In Many Hearts by inaugural Speech

Has America. entering .
new decade under the most
difficult international and
domestic conditions. found
In its young Chief Executive
0 real and fearless leader?
This question was asked in
Washington and abroad by
many who read President
Kez1nedy's inaugural address.
The speech BY the man
who will lead Us during the
next trying years was pur-
posely addressed to the world
rather than to the people
Of his own country because
the trouble which beset us
stem directly from the inter-
national situation which has
been allowed to worsen over
the last IS years.
The new President Is
obviously deeply aware Of
the present tragedy Of o
world divided between free
men and slaves. Any skilled
ghost writer could have
written q moving and I'm
pressive address, but only o
man with deep convictions Of
the reality Of our days could
have delivered IL with the
ring Of sincerity and fervor
Of the new President.
Many who heard Franklin
D. Roosevelt's I'VE have to
fear nothing but fear itself"
draw q favorable parallel
between the present and the
late Chief Executive. And
those who eventually became
disenchanted with the con-
sequences of the policies of
Mr.. Roosevelt hope and pray
that Americas new leader
win not fall prey to the few
individuals who formed the
palace Guard" who had so
much. to do with the mis-
takes Of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration.

to the world that we shall
not retreat any longer in the
face Of the menace and wiles
Of international communism
but viii fight II fighting be-
comes essential to preserve
our heritage Of freedom.

ticularly since the death Of
John Foster Dulles, the
NATo has been weakened.
The impression was created
abroad that America had be-
come q rudderless ship. Our
allies began to give only lip
service to the coalition tn
tended to be Q wall against
Red aggression. A policy Of
everybody for himself began
to replace the policy Of unity
against the common enemy.
Mr.. Kennedy brought this
situation into focus when he
stated: ITO those old al
lies -. we pledge the loyalty
of faithful friends. United
there Is little we cannot do
in o host Of cooperative
ventures. Divided, there is
little we can do-for we do
not meet q powerful chal-
lenge at odds and split
asunder."
A number Of free nations
still unprepared for self
government have been born
In Africa. With its customary
skill, international commu-
nism has taken advantage Of
the new situation. As the
colonial powers gave UP CO.
lonialism, international COM.
munism is trying to replace
them. The Western powers
which gave the Africans .
their freedom and America
which is helping the Africans
have become the target Of
the Reds who describe them
as "colonialistS."
Addressing himself to the
new nations, Mr.. Kennedy
said: To those new states
whom we welcome to the
ranks Of the free. we pledge
our word that one form Of
colonial control shall not
have passed away merely to
be replaced by q far more
iron tyranny We shall
hope to find them strongly
supporting their own free
dom and to remember that
those who foolishly sought
power by riding the back Of
the tiger ended up inside"
Mr.. Kennedy also revived
Q modified Monroe Doctrine
when he spoke to the sister
republics in Latin America.
After pledging them our sup
port to cast off the chains
Of poverty" he added: Let
every power know that this
hemisphere intends to re-
main the master Of its own
house" This was more in
the spirit Of Teddy Roosevelt

action he favors. and said the
Kennedy administration has
made no decision on seeking
legislation In this field. But
President Kennedy's past state
ments indicate he agrees with
Mr.. Goldberg in favoring Fed
eral action.
Extra Benefits Seen
For the immediate future, the
Kennedy administration is ex-
pected to propose legislation
for temporary extension Of
eligibility for workers who have
been unemployed 50 long that
they have exhausted their
benefits. Such legislation was
enacted during the 1957-58
recession. with financing ham
died through Federal loans to
the States. The Kennedy ad-
ministration may propose
grants instead Of loans.
Beyond emergency action to
combat the economic reces.
sion or showdown. the Ken
nedy administration may pro-
pose Federal standards for the
amount and duration Of bene-
fit payments. The Eisenhower
administration opposed this
approach, and instead urged
the States to increase and ex-
tend their payments under the
Federal-State program.
Calls Situation "Grave"
Mr.. Goldberg called the un-
employment situation "very
grave" and said he expects
President Kennedy to discuss
it at his press conference to-
morrow.

uted the increase in the week
