Kennedy Promises Cover Wide Field

He promised, indeed, to do
everything he could to see
that the American dollar
remains as sound IS q

course, that nothing win be
done to cause disastrous in
flation. He promised, too,
to remain as far as possible
within the spending limits
set in the Eisenhower budget
for fiscal 1862, submitted q
couple Of weeks ago. This
Eisenhower budget-$s0.e o bill

mended taxeS-among them

Mr.. Kennedy said his eco
nomic advisers did not be-
lieve business was going to
improve.
Funds to Be Key
A great deal will depend,
as far as the budget is con-
cerned, on how much money
will be required to put into
effect the Kennedy program
for many kinds Of domestic
and social improvements, and
an extended military pro-
gram. What the new Presi-
dent and advisers hope is
that from the pump priming
Of these spending programs,
business and employment will
squirt forward, making tax
revenues mount. In this way,
1t will be possible to keep
from deficit spending and
from further initiation and
devaluation Of the dollar.
Skeptics, both Democratic
and Republican, have, seen
former Democratic admins
trations seek to spend the
country into prosperity. They
still have to be shown.
No one-not former Pres
ident Eisenhower nor the late
Secretary Of State John Foster
Dulles-could have spoken
out more strongly than did
President Kennedy against
any weakening toward the
Communist drive for world
domination. His firmness on
this question. his determine
ton to prevent aggression
against the free world, his
pronouncementS that we
would resist Communist
movements into the Western
Hemisphere drew the great
est applause Of the Congress.
His statements on inter-
national problems included
also willingness to discuss
disarmament with the Com
munistS II a sure basis can
be found, a willingness to CO.
operate with the Soviet, and
with other nations on outer
space investigations of all
kinds.
President Kennedy has
made many promises. II he
can deliver on q considerable
number of them, the interests
Of the American people and
Of the free world will be ad-
vanced. The great mass Of
Americans will 60 along with
his objectives. When it comes
to means-they have yet to
be disclosed by the President.
Not until his special messages
are sent to Congress will
much be known. Then q bet

programs suggested by him
can be made.
Evening star., 1961-01-31

With broad strokes, PreSi-
dent Kennedy has painted to
Congress, the American peo-
pie and the world the objec-
tives Of his administration
and Of himself as Chief Ex-
ecutive-in his state-of-the-
Union message. The picture
he painted was dark, both
domestically and information
ally. He made many promises
to brighten it. He declined to
look at the problems > that
confront US with dispair or
panic. It was, indeed, q rally
ing call to the people for
service, q rallying to all the
peoples Of the free world.
There were courage and de-
termination running through
the message he delivered to
Congress in person.
Eighteen days earlier an
other state Of the Union
message was delivered to the
same Congress by the re-
tiring President Of the Uni
ted States, Dwight D. Eisen-
hover. Mr.. Eisenhower freely
admitted the grave problems.
domestic and foreign, which
confront the American peo-
pie. His description Of the
country's economy, Of its
progress during the last eight
years, was vastly different
from that presented yester-
day by the new President. Mr..
Kennedy's picture was in line
with the campaign speeches
he made. before election day,
November 8. Mr.. Eisenhower
pointed to big strides this
country had made on many
omestics fronts as well as
foreign. Mr.. Kennedy pointed
only to the soft spots in the
economy. BY indirection, he
was seriously critical of Pres
ident Eisenhower and his ad-
ministration. He made no
personal attack, however, on
Mr.. Eisenhower. At the same
time, President Kennedy in
sisted that his program is
essentially non-partisan, that
1t is a program for the Amer
lean people as a whole. And
SO it is in many respects.
Political Interpretation
Since nearly everything
that Is said or done in the
National Capital resolves it.
self into terms political, the
Kennedy state-of-the- Union
message virtually told the
people that he had inherited
a mess. with the economy
heading downward - which
means unemployment on the
increase and business on the
decrease, and the soundness
Of the American dollar In
danger. The clear implica-
ton. Of course. is that If
things improve economically,
the Kennedy administration
can claim the credit; If they
don't, then the Kennedy
administration can point-as
did Mr.. Kennedy-to the
poor inheritance the new
administration received from
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. The President said, in
deed. that in all probability
things will be worse before
E they become better.

ernor said. He said the primary
election is about nine months
away and he had no intentions
of taking that much time off
from the duties of my office. "
The Governor reiterated a
recent statement that he ex-
pected no tax rise next year,
but he added yesterday that
one may be necessary in 1868.
He said that unless there is
a strong upturn" in the econo-

with a recent prediction by a
State fiscal expert, John S.
Shriver, that new taxes will be
needed in 1868. Mr.. Shriver,
head of the fiscal research
bureau, said expenses will out

have been warned.
This tax increase, it was
learned, would result even if
the city decided to take less

city which has been under con-
sideration.
Details supplied by consult
ants show taxes would jump at
least 80 cents and possibly so

councilmen have learned dur
ing their annexation studies.
The current tax rate is $3.15
per 500 valuation. Real estate
taxes are leview on 42.5 per
cent of fair market value.
No decision on annexation
has been made by the new
city council, which has been
examining in detail the pro-
posal put forward by the for
mer city council.
Mayor Frank E. Mann said
that the council, within a
month, would hold a public
hearing on the proposal. De-
tails on annexation will be an
nounced before the session to
give AleXandrians time to study
the plan, Mr.. Mann said.
The council, in a series of

the opposition ticket was
greeted by the Governors press
assistant, Odell Smith, and
Secretary of State Lloyd l.

Mahoney Is Contractor
Filing today were George P
Mahoney. SO, a Baltimore area
contractor, for Governor; Blair
Lee III, As, a member of the
House of Delegates from Mont
gomery County, for United
States Senator, and Samuel w
Barrick, 81, a State Senator
from Frederick, for Attorney

Theirs was the first major
ticket to file and seemed to
assure that there will be a
hard-fought Democratic pri-
mary next May. The Repub-
licans are hoping to avoid a
devisive primary.
The ticket filed today is ex-

Great Issues" Outlined
Mr.. Mahoney said that among
the great issues" which his
ticket will discuss are teacher
pay and tenure, higher educa-
ton, roads, hospitals and taxes.
Accompanying Mr.. Lee to
Annapolis were his wife Mimi
and six of their eight children.
Mrs. Lee explained that two

too large for an elementary
school.
Strong opposition also de-
veloped to the addition last
year when some opponents
charged the project would

however, by two other citizens
of the area, Edward Strother

Opposition to the bulk of the

tor of the Arlington Apartment

conducted a campaign to de-
feat last years bond issues.
The association approved of
parts of the proposal, he said,
but in other cases the board
was asking taxpayers in some
areas to pay for improvements
remote from them.

SIS Million Arlington Bond Plan
Is Favored Raises School Issue

More than $50 persons
crowded into the Arlington
County Board room last night
to give their views on proposals
to float SIS million in bonds.
The proposed issues-Similar
to a set rejected by voters last
year-received generally favor
able reaction.
On only one issue, an addi-
ton to the Negro Drew School,
was there sharply divided
sentiment, and that came from
sections of the Negro commun-
ity.
The evening also produced a
sharp exchange between board
members and a representative
from the Arlington Apartment
Owners Association which
helped defeat last years issues.
The board is expected to act
Saturday on whether to hold
a referendum on the bond issue
at the November 7 general cleo
ton. The issues would include
STA million for schools, SIS
million for highways, 81 million
for land acquisition plus funds
for sidewalks, parks and rec
reation, storm sewers, libraries
and firefighting facilities.
School Board member L. Lee
Bean told the County Board
that the school system would
need STA million for an addi-
ton to Drew School, multi
purpose rooms at three elemen-
tary schools ana acquisition OF
land at a number of schools. ,
But the Rev. Arthur w
Walls, representing the Nauck
