Responsible Ones in Office Seen Horied
By Theoreticions in the Two Bio States

The political situation In
the country's two most po-
litically powerful States
New York and California-is
deeply worrying the Demo-
Gratis, just returned to ma
tional. power though they are.
The source of anxiety lies
in the presence in both States,
in large and righteous num-
bers. Of the good, good, good
Democrat. This is a fellow so
terribly liberal" and infalli-
bly, right on every question
that it hurtS-hurts all others,
that is.
President Kennedy himself
is trying to stay out of what
in each State is a prolonged
kissing match set off by the
good. good, good Democrats
against nearly all other DEM
ocrats who happen to be in
elected office or in positions
Of party leadership.
It seems clear. however,
that he must shortly dip into
these rancorous pools with a
brisk exercise Of his own au-
thority. II he doesn't, the
loss Of one or both States to
the Republicans in Iceland
maybe even in 1854, wheu he
seeks a second TERMS most
plainly probable.
For in both, the Democrats
are showing a pickering in
effectuality. The public gets
the impression they are hard
ly competent to carry on any
enterprise beyond clawing at
each other and shouting shrill
and weird epithets.
Frustration Is the word for
the national Democratic poll
ticians as they gaze sadly at
what ought to be two great

automatic equipment are OPP
posed in defiance Of the fact
that technology can be help
full In bringing prices down
and increasing the public's
purchases.
On the, same front pages,
for instance, that announced
the jail sentences imposed on
seven business executives for
price fixing, there appeared
an announcement that James
r. Hoffa, head Of the Team
sters Union, Is reaching his
goal of o master union agree
ment, covering virtually every
truck-driver In the country.
This would make 1t possible
for him to tie UP the Nations
entire trucking system at any
time that he might choose
to cali q strike. There's no
law as yet to break up such
monopolies.
Mr.. Kennedy has said again
and again that he hopes to
bring about an economic
equilibrium, both at home
and abroad, but he will have
q hard time doing so unless
he is able to alter the pessi-
mistic psychology that some
Of his utterances and the
reports Of his task forces have
created. Confidence Is nee
essary for business planning
and also for individual buy
ing. People save their money
and begin to do without
things when they read about
an unemployment cycle that
some politicians have openly
been saying will grow worse
and worse.
It's Q time to rebuild con-
fidence. and the President Of
the United States, through
his press conferences on tele-
vision and his messages to
the Congress, could place
more emphasis on the very
large part Of the economy
that Is functioning normally
and on the improvements in
the business situation that
are already beginning to ap-
pear. The truth about busi-
ness conditions Is essential
because untruths are soon
discovered. but there Is no
sound reason to conceal the
good when talking about the
bad in our national economy
today.

Trouble Ahead for Democrats

Brown, If not the ablest man
ever to breathe the Cali
fornia airs, did reclaim the
State for the Democrats In
1858. But other Democrats
gave him far more trouble
than did the Republicans.
They are still giving it to
him. To hear what Is really
wrong with Governor Brown
and to hear it and hear 1t
you need only meet one
Of the good, good, good Cali
fornia Democrats. These fell
lows, as In New York. are in
the happy position Of having
no responsibility. So, their
situation permits them to
operate what they would call
a hit-and-run politicS-if,
that is, it were being prac-
ticed by conservatives.
All men having some
human feeling should have q
bit Of sympathy for the poor
chaps who have had the mis-
fortune to have some real
power and responsibility in
both States. President Ken
nedy himself-thougn not yet
taking sideS-iS bound to feel
some sympathy, himself. For

especially in New York, did
not well love John F. Ken
nedy himself.

publicans, nevertheless went
last November to G. o. P.
presidential candidate Rich
ard M. Nixon. True, New
York was carried by Mr.. Ken
nedy; but the future is dark
for the Democrats there, too.
Republican Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller seems practically
certain Of reelection next
year. The Democratic Mayor
Of New York City, Robert
Wagner. goes for reelection
this fall as the alleged head
Of an alleged Democratic Par
ty which is really in broken
fragments.
In California, Gov. Edmund
(Pat) Brown, also up for re-
election next year, is in the
same fix. There, according
to sound private estimates
among Democrats themselves,
he can hardly hope to SUR
vive If Mr.. Nixon challenges
him.
Why all this, in both New
York and California? An
swer: These two presumably
sophisticated States have de-
veloped a back biting cam
paign by the good, good,
good Democrats which must
be heard to be believed.
In New York, "reformers"
headed by former Senator
Herbert Lehman and Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt endlessly
denounce the ablest profess
sional their party has, Tam
many Leader Carmine De
Sapio. In their eyes Mr.. De
Sapio's crimes are manifold.
The outsider has some trou-
BILE to determine what they
are-except for the capital
crime Of disagreeing with
the "reformers."

which is considerable.
Where President Kennedy
is mouse-trapped right now
is that more housing Is an
important part Of his fight
to stir the torpid economy,
but that while he can do
much with or without Con-

from the President personally
indorsing Weaver'S loyalty.
Apparently aides who deeply
understand the Southern

among the missing at the
White House.
No letter came. Senator
Robertson declined to pro-

he did Of sorts. But the
Senator knows the votes are
there to confirm DR.. Weaver

Now the real battle can

Some of President Kennedys Remarks
Believed to Have Scared Business
DAVID LAWRENCE

With Q depression under
way, q President Of the
United States, in his inau-
gural speech, said: ''The only
thing we have to fear is fear
ITSELF"
Those words Of r. D. r.
have q special meaning right
now. For there is one word
that it is necessary for the
President Of the United
States to convey to the Amer
lean people today, and that's
confidence"
In some respects. President
Kennedy has scared Ameri-
can business. He may not
have intended his state-of-
the Union message to stir up
fears, but cries about ma
tional peril" and hints that
maybe the American system
Of Government may have to
be changed before the Ken
nedy term ends have had q
depressing effect on business
psychology.
It's o paradox that, while
the Kennedy proposals have
been restrained and cautious
and not in themselves radical,
apprehension has developed
that any day something
drastic may come. This needs
to be replaced by convincing
evidence to the contrary
from the White House.
For one thing, Of course.
the many presidential ad-
visers, with their task force
recommendations, have add
ed more uneasineSS to an al
ready uneasy mood. When
these advisers start talking
vaguely about uprooting the
business system, tax rates
and all. and when the i'm
preston is transmitted
through the press that much
Of the country is a dis
tressed area. the natural re-
action by the buying public
as well as the business
planning public Is to hesitate
and wait and see what's
coming.
It is argued that perhaps
the Kennedy strategy was to
speak Of national peril in Or

This piece Is about the
Nations desperate education
al needs and the anemia Of
understanding about them.
It requires q preamble.
President Kennedy's bold
program to move the Nation
forward will succeed or fail
in the degree that 1t has
public support.
The somewhat pathetic
spectacle Of bitterness and
vindictiveness Of spirit on the
part Of the Republican con-
servative leaders in the Con-
gress is indicative Of the OPP
position which the measures
will have. This not-fully-
comprehended anger Is pub
licly extended to their own
defeated candidate, Richard
Nixon, and privately, and In
less degreee, to Mr.. Eisen-
hover, himself. This makes
their opposition the less
rational. but the more dam
gerous.
That 1t is carping and will,
in time. DER leap itself and,
like vaulting ambition, fall
on the other side," is certain.
But that it may, in the time
Of its petty Towering, delay
or seriously damage neces-
sary legislation also is true.
What do we Americans wish
to do about education?
The children in States with
less resources than others
have a poorer quality Of
education than children In
the more prosperous States.
Is this American?
The children in the South
ern States, plus those in two

son long have had second

mites. In some Of those States
where the inevitability Of de-
segregation is being resisted
by mobs. by Governors and
legislatures which give leader
ship to the violent rather
than the children, the better
young teachers properly are
leaving. Only the older ones
with investments in tenure
remain. This problem. hap
PLY, grows less. It now is
reduced to four States where
the educational opportunities
for children are stultified by
violence or defiance.
(Never before in our his
tory has the old statement
by Booker T. Washington to
the effect that those who
would hold the Negro down
must get down In the ditch
with him had SO much ap-
plication as In the present
crisis.)
There are so States. What
Is the national picture?
President Kennedy's task
force in education recently
reported. 1t provided the ir-
REPUTABLE fact that millions Of
American children. in q coun-
try dedicated to opportu-
nifty. are deprived Of 1t. This
is particularly true in certain
rural areas and in some Of
the great cities.
Do we, as q people, COM
prehend that the national
interest demands a first-rate
system Of schools in which
every child has full and equal
opportunity? There is no
assurance we do. The Presi-
dent would like us to make
UP our minds.

really was unnecessary. For
when unemployment stead
lily rises and reaches 6.4 mill
lion. there's already q sober
realization that the country
isn't experiencing q boom.
What Is most unfortunate
is the many sweeping state
ments being made In high
places here about the busi-
ness situation without tax
ing into account the brighter
side-the many parts Of the
economy that are function
ing either normally or so
close to normal that the talk
Of recession causes q fear
that they may be the next
to be hurt.
The Presidents message
about strengthening our posi-
tion internationally, espe-
cially on hating the outflow
Of gold. was sound.
It's the domestic picture,
indeed, which needs to be
cleared up. Is the recession
as bad as has been painted?
Are some Of the signs Of re-
covery that have already put
in their appearance signifiE
cant? Will some Of the new
appropriations to be made by
Congress take effect after the
recovery has started and thus
tend to bring on an artificial
boom with all the restraints
on the money market that
usually are applied when that
happens?
The whole economic mech.
aniSm is more delicate than
q fine watch. Governmental
action is a big factor. but
the private sector Is still q
self-propelled affair and the
equilibrium can be upset at
any time by the monopolistic
power Of organized labor. The
Government rightly cracks
down on trusts and mono
poles when business engages

no such brakes are put on the
monopoly that virtually fixes
prices and working hours in
nearly every big industry.
