So, as lawyers say let US slip
ulate' that I have seen many
things, even II I have not always
understood them.
1 mention all this as a prelude
to what want to say on the eve
Of the inaugural Of John F. Ken
nedy as President Of the United
| States:
Through a long career in and
around the area Of public affairs
I have never seen a national ad-
ministration take office with men
Of as high calibre as those named
by Mr.. Kennedy to fiji out the key
positions In the federal govern
ment. OF the dozens Of appoint
ments that have already been
made, I can only think Of two
about which I have serious reser-
vations. That gives Kennedy a bat
ting average Of something around
.9O0-or an "A plus.
Several things stand out about
the Kennedy appointments:
First, this young President Is
completely unworried about nam
ing some Of the brainiest men in
the nation to work with him.
Whereas someone else might be In
cIined to surround himself with
Eyes men,. Kennedy has chosen
men with minds Of their own
There are those who think this IL
dangerous In politics; regard 1t
as a hopeful sign for the future
Second, Kennedy has not only
named first-rate men for most Of
the Cabinet jobs-he has continued
TO name the best men available for
the working and planning levels Of
government

NeeroGIs,
Whites Clash

NEGAUNEE, Mich, Sept. II
'AP).-An uneasy silence hung
over this Upper Michigan min
ing town today in the wake of
a racial flareup between local
white citizens and Negroes
from nearby K. I. Sawyer Air
Force Base.
Six State troopers and four
Marquette County sheriff's
deputies were called in to re-
lnforce Negaunee policemen
and firemen around midnight
Saturday when an estimated
100 Negro airmen maSsed on
downtown streets after a fight
between six Negroes and a
group of white men.
Two Negro airmen and one
white man were jailed on dis
orderly conduct charges. Police
declined to identify them until
an investigation is completed.
Maj. Raymond Clarkson, in
formation officer at the air
base, said the six Negro airmen
complained to Negaunee police
that they were being harassed
by group of white men cruis-
ing in cars.
When the Negroes went to
their car to return to the base,
Mai. Clarkson said, they were
met by some 80 white men.
He said a free e-for-all started.
One of the Negroes -A/3C
Lynwood Grant of Washing
ton, D. C.-reportedly was
struck by a chain. He was hos
pitalized at the air base with
broken nose, cuts and bruises.
Police said 100 Negroes from
Sawyer began milling around
Negaunee's streets, apparently
looking for Airman Grants
assailants. White citizens also
appeared, but police said they
were able to maintain order for
the next three hours until the
Negro airmen returned to the
base, some Is miles southeast
OF Negaunee, a town of 5000.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. Z (AP).-
Controller Louis L. Goldstein
today reported receipts from
State income taxes for the first
six months Of fiscal 1861 are
some $3.3 million greater than
In the corresponding period of
fiscal 1860.
Net receipts from the tax
over the first six months Of
this fiscal year are $4s. .207,ls2.
The figure for the correspond
ing period last year was $45,-

Mr.. Goldstein reported that
returns for the month Of De-
cember were down slightly
from the previous December.
The respective totals were
$685. BIS as compared with
$s97. .203. The decrease was due
to q dip In corporate tax re.
turns and an increase in re-
funds.
Resident individual taxes for
the month rose from $Sl4,697

The pitch for help in ratifica-
ton was made by Carl L. Ship

chairman, and Senator Morton
Of Kentucky, chairman Of the

tee.
Senator Morton told party
members Of the closed-door

said District Republicans were
due some help in the cause by
party members elsewhere be-
cause the local organization has
always been high on the list Of

bers that Republicans could

give it any other attributes Of
a State, or change the con-
stitutional powers Of Congress
over the District.
What the amendment does
do. Mr.. Shipley said, is "perpe-
tuate recognition of the unique

ment while giving its per-
manent residents the right to
