EVERYBODY TEED OFF ......
Kennedy Lifts Golf Curtoin
BY a Star staff Writer

PALM BEACH. Fla, April 4.
President Kennedy permitted
pictures to be taken of him on
the golf course today-but not
with a club in his hand.
1t was the first time since
Mr.. Kennedy's election as
President that he has allowed
any news pictures to be made
of him on a golf course.
Apparently he doesn't want
a picture Of him swinging a
golf club to get fixed in the
public mind for fear it will
subject him to the kind of crit
icism that President Eisen-
hower's golfing brought from
Democrats-including himself.
Even having the news pho
tographers and some reporters
standing around watching him
seemed to make Mr.. Kennedy
nervous.
He hooked two drives off the
first tee into a stiff wind. Both
his drive and his "mulligan"
wound up in the second fairway
that borders the first on the
left at the Palm Beach Coun-
try Club.
The President has played golf
every day he has been here on
his Easter vacation since last
Thursday. And he missed hard
ly day getting to the golf
course during the weeks he
spent here between his election
and Inauguration.
In this, he has been much
like former President Eisen-
hower-golf nearly every day
when out of Washington on va
cation. Mr.. Eisenhower played
more golf while in Washington
than Mr.. Kennedy has been
known to play there since NOV
ing into the White House.
Mr.. Eisenhower usually per-
mitted news photographers to
take his picture driving off the
first tee on at least one occasion
during each of his vacation
trips.
The photographers have been
pressing Mr.. Kennedy's press
secretary. Pierre Salinger, al
most daily for an opportunity
to make golf pictures of the new
President.
Mr.. Salinger finally told them
last night that they could pho
tograph Mr.. Kennedy standing
on the first tee" this morning,
at the start of his final golf
round before flying back to
Washington this afternoon.
But the press secretary said
fatty there would be no pic
lures of Mr.. Kennedy hitting a
ball.
Asked the reasoning behind
this ban, Mr.. Salinger said only:
The subject is closed. That is
the arrangement" He declined
to discuss it any further.
Drives Own Car
Before the President arrived
at the first tee this morning,
Mr.. Salinger added another
condition. He asked reporters
to stay off the first tee entirely
to stand behind a chain in
closing the tee area.
This effectively prevented re-
porters from noting any of the
chit-chat Of the kind that used

Joseph Kennedy walked onto
the tee with a driver in his
hand. Some pictures were made
of the President standing be-
tween his father and Mr.. Law
ford.
Mr.. Smith drove first, get
ting a fine drive low into the
wind down the middle of the
fairway. Joseph Kennedy sug-
geSted that Mr.. Lawford shoot
next. The actor topped his
drive and a mulligan, both stop
ing short of 100 yards. The
elder Kennedy got off a long
one that sliced into the ninth
fairway on the right.
Then the President hooked
his two drives, and the four

Marcello has been a prime
target Of the immigration Serv-
ice since the McCarran-Walter
Act of 1852 made deportation
possible. The New Orleans
racketeer's response to the Gov

four trips to the Supreme Court
and innumerable actions in
district and appellate courts

matter of controversy for some
years. In the time available we
have not been able to give this
problem all the study it re-
quires and our present recon-
mendationS are not offered as
a final solution" -
"Of the four strategic missiles
now in production or under de-
velopment," he said, "the Pola-
ris (submarine-carried ballistic
missile) has the highest degree
of survivability under a ballistic
missile attack.
THE Minuteman Qand-based
ICBM, since it can be widely
dispersed in well-hardened un-
derground sites, should also
have a high degree of surviv-
ability"
Asked Polaris Boost
Mr.. Kennedy asked $1,223,-
100000 more to speed Polaris
production and 500 million for
additional Minutemen.
On limited war, he assured
the Senators that what is be-
ing proposed at this time is not
a reversal of our existing ma
tional policy, but an increase in
our non-nuclear capabilities to
provide a greater degree of ver-
satility to our limited-war
forces"
There had been some specu-
lation that the Presidents bud
get message had meant to end
the Eisenhower defense policy
sometimes called massive re-
taliation."
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. testified in support of
the budget revisions, but the
details of his statement were
not made public by the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Mcnamara said, "The

President Kennedy do not pro-

would like to have" But he said
that as the various defense
studies were completed. IT per-
sonally reviewed the results in
detail with the service secre-

fit of their advice and counsel"
Sees Critical Years"
In talking about the big nu-
clear weapons, Mr.. Mcnamara
said he wanted to prepare par
ticularly for the critical years
1862 and 1868 when we will still
be building up our missile force"
and when "our principal con-
Germ will be a surprise attack
by large numbers Of nuclear-
armed ICBMs."
1--WE must continue to provide
for the forces required to deter
an all-out nuclear war" he said.
"Only behind the shield of such
forces can the free world hope
to cope successfully with lesser
military aggreSsions.
But having provided for
these essential forces, we want
to see to it that this Nation, in
cooperation with its, friends
and allies abroad, has the kinds
of forces needed to discourage
more limited military adven-
lures by the enemies of free

promptly to limited aggressions.
possibly In more than one place
at the same time, can serve

vent them from spreading out

A recent preliminary study of
adequate limited war, nom
nuclear forces indicated a build
up for a two-war force would
cost around SIS to $40 billion
extra year.

compensation, and this will
mean considerable readjust-
ment. For something more
than a wage increase for the
regular work week is involved.
The rate goes up also on the
time and : a half basis for
overtime.
Perhaps the biggest con-
sequence will come in ham
ding wage scales above the
minimum. Differentials are
maintained between differ
ent worker classes. Hence,
when the minimum goes up,
it affects workers all along
the line above the minimum,
too. This is hardly the oppor-
tune moment for readjuSting
wage scales on a broad basis.
But the administration has
plowed ahead irrespective of
consequences. The unem-
ployment compensation rolls
will soon tell the story in
increased applicants.
But shouldn't the mini
mum wage be increased?
Certainly there is every
reason for providing higher
and higher compensation for
everyone who has to face the
decreasing purchasing power
of the dollar. But there is a
good time for such an adjust
ment and a bad time. Recess
sion months are not an occa-
sion for further deterioration
of the employment rolls. The
period should be used to build
a sound and stable economy
SO that wage increases will
be paid out of an expanding
prosperity and increased ma
tional growth.
The tragic part of the story
is that. when the present re-
cession drags on or is followed
after a brief recovery by an
other dip, the cry will be for
more spending by Govern
ment. Yet the incentives so
essential to a genuine re-
covery are being neglected,
and the drift is toward more
and more makeshift remedies
and distortions of the wage
structure.

Timing of the Minimum Wage Measure
Hit as S pur to General Pay Raise Plea

The possibility of a set
back in business is not a
pleasant thing to discuss. But
what has Just been hailed
as a victory" for President
Kennedy, when Congress
passed the new minimum
wage bill, could turn out to
be a measure that actually
prolongs the present reces-
sion.
Up to now, it has always
been thought to be the bet
ter part of wisdom to keep
wage rates stable during a
recession and wait for better
times. But the Democrats
in Congress have just taken
a step which not only affects
the "a million workers who
are covered by minimum
wage laws but provides labor
unions with the excuse to
start a demand for a general
wage increase.
Instead of permitting the
Nation to treat the wounds
it has received as a result
OF the dislocation of the ma
tional economy by the steel
strike, the unions which have
the support of the Kennedy
administration now have
driven ahead to start a wave
Of wage increases.
The larger businesses will
not be hurt as much as will
small business. The new
minimum-wage law will cause
the loss of jobs to many
persons now employed. Small
businesses generally will not
be able to pay the increased
wage and will have to cut
down the number of their
employees.
Congress knew that a seri-
Gus disruption would occur
and did heed the pleas of
some small businesses when
laundry workers and cotton
gin employees were exempted
from the provisions of the
proposed law. There is no
doubt that small business will

responsibility.
Brazil is an illustration.
Until Castro had said in
words of few syllables that
Cuba had become "a Social
iSt Republic" - the pre-
else term used by the Rus
slams for their own "Repub-
lie" - Brazil had shared
a happy delusion. Castro was
only demanding "self-deter-
mination" for his people.
Since he himself now
plainly declares that his peo-
pie will do no more voting
to determine anything what
ever, there has been a big
turn, Messages from Brazil
ian President Janio Quadros
to Castro now take a chill
tone. And almost in one
voice the Brazilian press now
calls for a conference of all
the American Republics to
consider the Castro problem.
Only such a conference
could open the way for hemi-
sphere action against Castro.
And its very meeting would
affirm what has heretofore
been denied by many in Latin
America: That Castroism is
not just a matter for tn
United States but rather for
all in this hemisphere.
This is exactly what we
have always urged. And this

American diplomats now ac-
cept in private conversations
