Senate Unit Clears
Canal ParkMeasure
BeuII Supports
Matthias Plan
On Purchase

A Dill TO establish a stretch
of the C6ZO Canal as a national
park today was cleared by a
Senate subcommittee in virtu-
ally the same form as pending
House legislation.
Subcommittee amendments
lining up the two measures
started the long-disputed pro-
poSal on its third trip through
committees of as many Con-
crosses with probably the best
chance to date of final passage.
Seantor Beall, Republican of
Maryland, the sponsor, asked
for the major change, already
in the House bill introduced by
Maryland'S Republican Repre-
sentative Matthias.
It would authorize Interior
Secretary Udall to acquire up to
$4,000 acres along the canal
from Great Falls to Cumber-
land, Md.
Cleared With UdaIl
AS introduced in the Senate,
the bill called simply for park
designation of a 4,800-acre
tract set aside by former Presi-
dent Eisenhower as a ma
tional monument. Both Sen
ator Beall and Mr.. Matthias
have cleared their bills with
Secretary Udall, who also rec
commended the amendment.
The only significant differ
ence now in Senate and House
versions is the Senate author
ization of SIS million for park
acquisition. No money figure
was written into the House
bill, according to Mr.. Matthias,
because estimates were COM
pleted after its introduction.
Fairly prompt full committee
action is expected in the Sem
ate. House hearings are in
prospect.
The compromise bill, as re-
ported by the Senate Subcom-
mittee today, is aimed at salts
flying both park and water
supply interests.
Committee Meets
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, met in executive seS-
sion.
Some of the monument"
acreage, not suitable for park
use, could be traded by the
secretary for more suitable
parcels.
Park champions would be
placated on two counts which
have worried them in previous
canal billS-the prospect of a
parkway through the proposed
national park and the posi-
bility that a dam would flood
the area around River Bend.
The bill, as proposed, does
not call for the construction of
any parkway. While it does
not rule out the area as a site
for a future dam, it does say
that the Federal Government
could use park lands for non
park uses.
Engineers Now Satisfied
This latter provision was in
cluded to satisfy Army engi-
neers whose current study OF
future water needs of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area may
lead to a recommendation Of
a high dam at River Bend.
Both Senator Beall and Mr..
Matthias are under strong pres
sure from their constituents to
oppose any dam at River Bend,
should Army engineers urge
one.
Failure to obtain passage OF
a canal bill became an issue

Foley, Democrat. who preceded

THEY MAKE a plaster
cast of your foot and build
the shoes around it. Look at
those pointed shoes of yours.
How can you put toes into a
space like that? Would you
buy gloves that do this to
your fingerS?" he asked,
cramping his fingers to-
gether.
Mr.. Hayes usual capacity
crowd will be amused by him
at Carter Barron next week.
Before that he will meet with
people in Washington about
a December U.S.O. trip to
Korea, then fly to Tangle-
wood to conduct the Boston
Symphony.
Later yesterday he held a
press conference in behalf of
United Nations International
Children'S Emergency Fund
as a guest of Senator JavitS,
Republican of New York. He's
worked for the organization
for years.
Mr.. Kaye evaluateS him
self with Il don't read music
but I hear awfully well. I
speak II languages; nobody
understands them but I
speak them. I dance some;
well, I clown around, I don't
really dance" And then with
a wink, I'm the worlds
greatest faker.
Have I ever done any,
thing serious? I landed with
only one engine once. Well,
you see I really am a very
tragic fella."
He was saying this with a
contented smile on his lips,
his long skinny legs sprawled
full length, a slouched hat
on his head.
"If you don't keep talking,
I'll be asleep. I am very ner-
vous I am very high strung"
he mimicked stories of him
self.
Il relax more than any
one I know. For some pecu-
liar reason people have the
oldest impression of my
behavior. If I ever behaved
off stage like I do on, I'd be
in a looney bin in three
months"
So then Mr.. Kaye was off
in a cloud of airplane talk.
He learned to fly last year
and he ratified, "I think avia-
ton has been maligned to
such a degree people are
scared to death of it. It's one
of the safest, one of the most
exhilarating things. recon-
mend it highly, are you go
ing to put all that DOWN."
MIR. KAYE HAD reached
his hotel. When he opened
the door of his suite every
thing smelled antiseptic and
there was a water bucket in
the middle of the floor left
by a retreating cleaning lady.
Moving the bucket, Mr.. Kaye
took off his shoes and sport
coat, flopped down on a
couch, put his feet up on
the back and conducted the
rest Of the interview from
this position except for a
hilarious demonstration of
baseball players at bat.
"Colavito goes through a
whole series of caliSthenicS,"
he said, putting an imagin-
ary bat behind his head.
Rocky Nelson has a stance
like John L. Sullivan" he
said, bending his amazingly
youthful frame into an old
fashioned daguerreotype.
Mr.. Kaye fluffed off ques-
tions about his show and got
back to flying:
"The toughest thing I had
to do was study for my pilots
exam. hadn't gone to school
in 112 years. The first day I
walked into ground school
someone says the wind vec-
tor of an iSoceles triangle
and I turned around and
started out. i. E.

he said in a far-off but de-
termined voice, now what I
want to do is get my COM

ReaSsured that it went up

he settled in his air -condi-
toned transport and started
an interview from his feet
up. He wore shoes that came
up high at the ankles and
looked something like leath-

of the Cuban fiasco. but he

Constructive Criticism of Kennedy's

chosen to sit alongside Presi-
dent Kennedy and advise
him. The official communi-
que says he will not be in
terposed between the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff and the Presi-
dent or between the White
House and the Defense De-
partment, but will keep an
eye on everything military,
including the gathering and
interpreting of intelligence
information from all govern
mental agencies that collect
it.
1t is argued already that
President Roosevelt had Ad-
miral William D. Leahy as his
personal military co-ordina-
tor, and that this serves as
q precedent. But Admiral
Leahy never had the variety
of duties which now have
been entrusted to Gen. Tay-
lor. Nor was there a Secre-
tary of Defense in those days
with authority over all the
armed services.
President Kennedy has
made a wise move in bringing
Gen. Taylor to the Executive
offices, for the Nation no
longer has in the White House
a Gen. Eisenhower as Com
mander-in- Chief of the army,
the Navy and the Air Force.
Mr.. Eisenhower had a SOL
dier's background but with 1t
a statesman's instinct for
patient negotiation.
The placing Of Gen. Taylor
at the Presidents side is ac-
tually a symptom of Mr.. Ken
nedy's deeper troubles. He
has advisers galore around
him. He has assigned all sorts
of tasks to them. His Sec
retary of State isn't the au-
thoritatiVe voice on foreign
policy that the head Of the
State Department has been
in the past. Nobody around
here really knows who makes
foreign policy. This was
basically what caused the
confusion in the Cuban af-
fair.

only word that can vividly
describe the Kennedy admin
istration's setup is "helter-
skelter," though the article
in the London Times last
week spoke Of "the political
disarray" of the Kennedy
administration. Executive
management here is lacking
in fact, there is no man
agement as such. Everybody
plays it by ear"
The fundamental difficulty
is that the public-including
the preSs-has no way of fix
ing responsibility from month
to month for the Presidents
acts. Most Of the Presidents
advisers have not been nomi-
mated and confirmed by the
Senate-they are responsible
to Mr.. Kennedy alone and not
to the Congress, much less to
the American people.
The British have q better
system. They place full re-
SponSibility on a cabinet,
most of whose members have
been elected or have served
long terms in the Parliament.
These men know the political
game-they know the cur
rents Of public opinion.
Alongside each of them, more
over, are career executives
who do not go out of office
with every change in min
istry.
The presidency is almost
a superhuman task. When
will the American people de-
mand a system of cabinet
responsibility and a closer
check on the dozens-yes,
dozens-of persons in Gov
eminent who have access to
the White House and con-
stantly furnish the basic
memoranda that influence a
Presidents decisions?
President Kennedy is an
honest. persevering and con-
scientious young. man, and
deserves to be supported when
he is right. But the biggest
disService that could be
rendered by those who voted
for him and by. those who
have been elected on the
Democratic Party ticket is to

against 'helter-skelter" in

DORIS FLEESON

The really frightening
message that Adlai Steven
son has brought back from
South America is that the
imagination of the people in
that vital area has been cap
tured by the Castro revolu-
ton in Cuba.
They are described to Mr..
Stevenson as indifferent to
the Communist overtones of
Castro'S actual management
Of Cuba'S external affairs.
What appeals to them is that
ordinary people who seem to
them like themselves made a
successful revolution against
a dictatorship.
The difficulty of fighting
a captivating idea is obvious,
as is the difficulty of ex-
planning how a revolution
which may have begun in
good faith became perverted.
Even educated men and
women resist reason as the
rule of life; in too much of
South America people live
with poverty and illiteracy
which prevent them from i'm
proving their lot, and they
are the more emotional be-
cause of it.
Mr.. Stevenson's public de-
lineations of the situations,
country by country, that he
encountered were rarely sun
ny. Senators and others who
have listened to his private
conversations found the
deeper cause for gloom and
are correspon din gly
apprehensive.
The Kennedy prescription
for the southern hemisphere
is his Alliance for Progress
program. It probably will be
passed in substantially the
form he has asked, but even
the accepted magnitude of
the task does not insure that
result.
Congress always gets into
