Mr.. O'Brien to breathe a little
easier in his job.
The main job of a White
House congressional liaiS o n
staff is, of course, to persuade
members of the Senate and
House to vote for legislation
the President wants. 1t requires
the kind Of political savvy
which Mr.. O'Brien gained in 10
years of work for Mr.. Kennedy
in his House, Senate and presi-
dental election campaigns.
Votes are gained at the Cap
itol by political tactics-sensing
when to step up or ease pres
sure, swapping support here for
a vote there, arguing the politi-
cal benefits to Congressman
of loyalty to a popular Presi-
dent-aS well as by pushing the
merits of a particular bill.
Each department has its own
pet projects. When there is
only so much money to go
around, the man working on
Capitol Hill for Department A
may be tempted to push for
more money at the expense of
Department B.
Or problems can arise when
Department x is pressing for
a program so controversial that
pushing it might endanger
passage of other legislation
which has presidential pri-
ority.
1t is the hope that talking
such things over at the White
House will induce the Depart
ment A man on the Hill not to
upset the appropriations apple
cart, and the Department x
man to soft pedal his project
for the sake of the administra-
tion's legislative program as a
whole.

Every few weeks Mr.. O'Brier

Also, each Monday morning

these down to a single report

that the job must be done "be-
fore this decade is out" was
unfortunate but probably nee
essary.
The absence of a deadline
would have diluted the sense
of urgency which must be felt.
But we probably will know
long before December 81,
1869. whether this deadline is
achievable.
If it is, this knowledge in
itself will give. impetus to do
the job even sooner. If it is
not. the incentive will then
be great to pour on the coal
and come as close to meeting
the deadline as achievable.
But there is a danger that
spectacular failures-or even
lack Of spectacular successes
may cause the interest of the
inconstant public to flag.
Somehow, a sense of urgency
must be kept alive, even when
nothing exciting is happening,

get to the moon first and the

our interest in getting there

ton will not endanger the

Russian inaction.
Confusion Seen Ahead
The moon project, at least
in its early stages, will give the
impression of an extremely
disorganized enterprise.
Duplicating contracts will be
issued, parallel approaches will
be tried, money will turn out
to be wasted. The space agency
probably will obligate several
tAundred million dollars more
this year than can judiciously
be spent.
But confusion and waste
cannot be avoided If a job is

Calls Negro
Not Inferior

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 81
(AP) The American Anthro-
biological Association has reaf-
firmed its position that Negroes
are not inferior to whites as a
race, either biologically or in
innate mental ability.
1t did so in approving, 1920,
at its convention here Sunday a
resolution described by its
sponsor, Prof. Gordon r. Wiley
of Harvard University, as a
basic statement of position"
of the AAA.
The resolution said:
"The American Anthropo-
logical Association repudiates
statements now appearing in
the United States that Negroes
are biologically and in innate
mental ability inferior to
whites, and reaffirms the fact
that there is no scientifically
established evidence to justify
the exclusion of any race from
the rights guaranteed by the
Constitution Of the United
States"
The resolution said also "all
races possess the abilities
needed to participate fully in
the democratic way of life, and
in modern chronological civil
lization."
DR.. Wiley said the resolution
was introduced because of ere
cent press statements, and GER
tain publications on race and
racial differences as a basis for

Indian Defense Minister v.
K. Krishna Menon spoke out
at the White House today
against increased American
military assistance to South
Wet Nam.
The Indian leader, head of
his country's delegation to the
United Nations, conferred with
President Kennedy for about
half an hour and talked with
reporters as he left the White
House.
Asked India'S attitude about
increased American help to
South Wet Mans fight against
Com munist guerrillas, Mr..
Krishna Menon said, "It is
better to keep this problem in
the context of neutrality and
not let war materials go in
from either side because that
only makes matters worse"
He did not answer when
asked if the Communists had
not already upset the balance
by sending men and materials
to carry on the fight against
the South Wet Nam govern
ment.
Mr.. Krishna Menon, flying
back to India tonight to face
criticism in Parliament about
his handling of the post of De-
fense Minister, refused to COM
ment on reports of new Red
Chinese incursions into Indian
territory. He said he did not
know the facts.
Asked if tensions were not

Administration officials are
dropping hints that President
Kennedy will support a modest
raise for Government classified
and postal employees - some
thing around 5 per cent.
The administration is anx-
ious to get rather substantial
increases for key engineering,
scientific, professional and
executive personnel as well as
for presidential appointees
such as cabinet officers, agency
heads and assistant secretaries.
However, the administration
iswise enough in the political
ways of life to know that such
salary increases cannot be OBJ
tained without Congress also
giving rank-and-file classified
and postal workers pay
raise.
Thus administration officials
are cautiously sounding out key
figures in Congress and en-
ploye groups to see just what
kind of pay raise they would
be agreeable to.
Postal and classified en-
ptpye union leaders feel that a
5 per cent raise is too small.
They declare that the lower
salaried classified and postal
employees need as much of a
pay raise as those in the upper
brackets.
Actually, employe leaders are
expected to push for an in
crease Of 10 per cent or so,
even though they will ask for
considerably more to start with,
The administration Is In
somewhat of a dilemma. On
the one hand, it feels that pay
raises for key scientific and
managerial personnel. as well
as for presidential appointees
are essential in these critical
times to keep and attract the
best possible people.
