the way likely in the end to
appeal to Mr.. Kennedy
himself.
His interest and expertness
both lie mainly in foreign
policy. And this kind Of farm
relief could be made both an
implement of that policy and
a partial solution for a nasty
domestic problem.
Mr.. Freeman's own past
farm associations, however.
have been close with the ul-
liberal farm organiza-
tions. So 1t may become nee
essary for him to say good
bye to those Middle West
forces, the heirs of the Popu-
list tradition, which old Sen
ator George Moses Of New
Hampshire used to call "the
sons Of the wild jackass."

situation. With all the talk
about modifying the Electoral
College system, 1t would ap-
pear that an even more ur-
gent need today Is to pro-
vide a uniform system of Sc
lecting members Of the United
States Congress. This could
permit the Governor to make
an immediate appointment to
flll q vacancy. but the ap-
pointee would serve only until
q special election Is held
within 60 days. A Senator or
Representative then elected
would serve the entire re-
mainder of the unexpired
term.
In Article l Of the Consti-
tuition. the following is pro-
vided:
THE times, places and
manner Of holding elections
for Senators and Representa-
tives shall be prescribed in
each State by the legislature
thereof; but the Congress may
at any time by law make or
alter such regulations, ex-
cept as to places Of choosing
Senator's"
So it would appear that the
civil rights" Of the peoples
Of the various States, parti-
cularly Of Wyoming and
Massachusetts,, could be re-
stored by a simple act Of
Congress providing for a spe-
cial election to be held within
so days to fill vacancies in
either the United States
House of Representatives or
the United States Senate. .
Maybe civil rights" should
be changed to read "constitu-
tiopal rights" because Con-
gress does have the power to
take action to prevent q re-
currence of the three cases
enumerated above. II might,
take q constitutional amend
ment to insure that no man
would be allowed to run for
two or more Offices in the
same election, although the
Constitution already forbidS
the same individual from
holding ONCE simultaneously
in both the executive and the
legislative branches of the
Federal Government.

Supply Troublesome
Four years ago this country
gave up the men and arms to
fight q sustained major con-
ventional war. We have a nu-
clear Army. Navy and Air
Force. Perhaps 10000 Ameri-
can troops from the Pacific
command could be brought to
Laos in a few months, but sup
ply difhculties for them in a
conventional war would be al
most overwhelming.
Perhaps our nuclear weapons
could be used. either to plaster
the jungle or to draw a line Of
devastation across Communist
access routes. Neither technique
is attractive to Pentagon peo-
pie or is a guaranteed winner.
The Communists, If they are
that anxious to seize Laos prob
ably could cap any Western
effort. including, II the Rus
slams wanted, local use OF
atomic bombs.
Few people in the Pentagon
believe there will be any such
showdown. Laos is vital neither
to the West nor the East. It IL
assumed that when the Com
munists see they cannot have
easy pickings. they will agree
to a political compromise which
will leave Laos neither in the
Communist nor the free camp
And then the struggle fol

ant Laotian people can be car
ried on by the State Depart
ment.

WILLIAM S. WHITE
President-EIect Believed Aware
Of Crisis in More Than One Sense

President-elect Kennedy is
stoically facing up early to
one Of his toughest trials
the hardy, the unsuitable,
the all but timeless farm
problem"
In deciding to begin to
grapple with it even before
his Inauguration - in this
weeks New York conference
on what he calls "the farm
crisis =" he signals his
awareness that it Is a crisis
in more than one sense.
For 1t is not only the Farm
Belt which Is in trouble, un-
der declining farm income.
The new administration, it
self. is in political trouble
from the start in the Farm
Belt. The Middle Western
farm States hit Mr.. Kennedy
hard in last November's elec-
ton.
Indiana. Iowa. nsas,
Nebraska, North Dakota,
Ohio, South Dakota and Wis
consin all went against him.
1t would have been a rout in
that whole vast area but for
Minnesota, the home State Of
Mr.. Kennedy'S new Secretary
Of Agriculture, Orville Free
man. (The assumption here
is that Michigan. which also
went for Mr.. Kennedy, is
more truly an industrial than
a farm State.)
But even the salvage oper-
alton which held Minnesota
for Mr.. Kennedy was prob
ably more due to Senator HUI
bert H. Humphrey of that
State than to Mr.. Freeman.
Thus. the Kennedy admin
istration has not only got to
find a way to unravel the
wretched riddle Of too much
production for too little re-
turn to the farmer. 1t has
also got to find means for
increasing its political ac-
ceptability in q region which
Evening star., 1961-01-04

Congressional Democratic
majorities accepted their new
mandate soberly and with a
sense Of disquiet. The trou-
bles they now see are for
midable: they foresee even
harsher ones when Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy and his
appointees gain access to the
whole story Of the American
position.
An intensely political ses-
sion lies ahead in contrast
to the easy-going Eisenhower
years.
Vice President Nixon has
kicked 1t OF with a very
special kind Of going away
present for his victorious op-
position. In a series Of rulings
from the chair he has opened
the door wide to a shake up
Of Senate rules.
1t Is too early to predict
the legislative results but
this much is clear: The
Nixon rulings will promote
maximum Democratic dis
unity and they lay the
groundwork for the cam
paigns Of 1862 and 1864.
A major irony is that
liberals are eagerly following
the Vice Presidents leader
ship. though he Is anathema
to them. They must do so.

all but blacked out the Ken
nedy-J johnson ticket.
It is at this point that Or
vile Freeman enters the
scene. The strong probability
Is that he may find himself
running unopposed for the
title Of man most painfully
in the middle.
For to improve Democratic
prospects in the Middle West,
1t will be necessary to bring
farm income up. And to bring
farm income up. the new ad-
ministration-which officially
means Orville Freeman
must somehow resolve a deep
conflict within the agricul-
tural community.
On one side are those who
believe in more and more
Federal controls and subsi-
dies. On the other side are
those who believe in some
touch Of the free enterprise
approach. In the center stand
those who are for a little of
both these approaches but,
more basically, want to force
great increases in the foreign
use Of American crops.
There is, Of course, no real
istic possibility of a return to
free-market policies in agri-
culture. To take the way of
more and more controls slld
subsidies would be to please
the ultra-liberal farm organ
izations which are sources
Of Democratic ca mpaign
strength. But that road would
only prolong the farm prob
lem" And it would also be
politically inept.
The Kennedy administra-
ton and party have no need
to court the left wing in the
farm areas. This they have
got. What they need is pre-
cisely the opposite: To gain
some strength among the
moderate-to-conservative.
So the only way out seems
to be the middle way, most of

True liberals are always

liberals" pass up an oppor-
tunity to advance the cause
+, Of democracy and represent
ative government.
Many days have passed
with not q word from the
professed defenders of lib
eral causes condemning three
cases in Which the civil
rights Of American citizens
have just been disregarded.
Here they are:
Case No. LIN Wyoming.
the people at the election in
November chose q Republi-
can to be United States Sem
ator for q term of six years,
but he died before he could
be sworn in this month. In
stead Of providing the peo-
, pie Of Wyoming with an OPP
portunity In a special elec-
ton within 60 days to choose
a successor, the Governor, a
Democrat, who had two years
more to. serve in his present
office, decided to resign in ia
vor Of the wyoming Secre-
tary Of State, so that he
the Governor-could be ap-
pointed to serve as United
States Senator for the next
two years. For. under the
laws of the State of Wyo-
ming, a Senator is not elected
by the people to flll a vacan-
cy until the next general
election. which will be in No
vember. 1862. Thus, the ma
jority Of the people of Wyo-
ming. who elected a Repub-
lican to the United States
Senate in November, have
been deprived of q Senator of
their own party and even of
the chance to elect one until
two years have elapsed.
Case No. 2-In MasSachu-
sets, when Senator John F.
Kennedy. Democrat, with
four years more of his term
to serve. was elected Presi-
dent Of the United States, a
Republican Governor was
elected the same day. Instead
Of letting the latter appoint

.
the new Senator to I'LL the
vacancy, the outgoing Gov
ernor, a Democrat, had a
conference with Mr. Ken
: nedy. in which the latter die
tated the appointment Of his
crony, Benjamin Smith, who
never has been elected to
Congress or to any State
wide ONCE. BY resigning be-
fore January /. Senator Ken
nedy prevented the new Re-
publican Governor from max
ing the appointment. This
kind Of political maneuvering
Is not novel, but it doesn't
erase the fact that q sue
cessor to Senator Kennedy
cannot be voted on by the
people of Massachusetts, now
for two years. When the
election is held in 1862, the
successful candidate will then
serve for just two years. Only
in 1864 will there be an elec-
tion for the full six-year
term. Why aren't the peo-
pie of Massachusetts, given an
opportunity now to elect a
Senator for the four years
remaining in Senator Ken
nedy's term?
Case No. 3-Senator Lyn-
don johnson, Democrat, had
his name in two places on
the ballot in Texas in the
election in November. He was
a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent of the United States and
at the same time q candidate
for reelection to a six-year
term as United States Sena-
tor. He won both elections.
This type Of thing has hap
pened once before in another
State, but, aside from the
obvious irregularity in de-
priving the people OF a
chance to pick a different
man in each party for two
offices. the Texas laws do
provide for a special election
within go to 80 days when
there is a vacancy in the
United States Senate.
