Damage to Prestige Seen in Failure
To Check Nominees Tox Records

court records on tax liens.
The Republicans learned of
irregularities in the Reeves
tax payments. and raised a
fuss before the Senate COM
mittee. Evidence was brought
forth there showing that over
the last 10 years the nominee
had not regularly paid his
income taxes on time, and
that several tax liens had
been filed in the past by the
Federal Government, as we'll
as by the District of Co.
lumbia tax office, to enforce
collection. There were delays,
too. in filing returns. His
1852 return, for example, was
not filed until 1856, while his
1860 return, due on April IS,
was not put in the mails until
after June 27-after the
question of its filing had been
raised in the Senate hearing.
The Reeves explanation is
that he was unable to keep
up his earnings to pay his
taxes because he spent so
much time away from his law
office working at his own
expense with the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. He
was at one time assistant
counsel to the national group.
But apart from tax matters,
If the Reeves nomination had
not been withdrawn, a con-
flict OF interest" charge
would have been made by the
Republicans because of his
purchase of a $47,500 house
in February of this year with
a loan allegedly made by a
prominent liquor dealer in
Washington. 1t so happens
that the new District COM
missioner will have super
vision over the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board.
No charges of any criminal
nature are involved, but the
question of whether the ap-
pcintee is careless and
whether he could handle ef-
ficiently the duties of a Dis
trict commissioner - which
are directly related to the
collection of all local taxes
bothered some of the Sena-
tors who were to vote on
whether to confirm or reject
the nomination.
Certainly the White House
staff should have been more
alert in dealing with the
whole business. Doubtless a
lesson has been learned
Evening star., 1961-07-03
DAVID LAWRENCE

KhruShchev and Kuwait
may be in the headlines, but
the talk of the town here is
the damage done to the pres
tige of the Kennedy admins
tration by the case of Frank
B. Reeves. He was nominated
on June 81 by the President
to be one of the three Com
misSioners who govern the
District of Columbia. After
some startling revelations
during a Senate hearing, the
nomination was withdrawn a
few days ago by the Presi-
dent. This was done ostensibly
at the request of the ap-
pointee. but it turns out that
White House staff members
initiated the step. Now the
question is whether he is to
remain as a member of the
Democratic National Com
mittee representing the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The episode has little sig
nificance from the standpoint
of racial controversy. For,
while Frank Reeves is a Ne
gro, it is certain that the
man to be nominated in his
place as District Commits
sioner will also be a Negro.
The real significance of the
whole affair is the proved in
competence of the Presidents
staff in checking up in ad-
vance on appointees, and the
damage done to the Negro
community itself. For if ever
there was an occasion to Sc
lect the beSt-qualified Negro
for a public post, it was when
the President had before him
the task of filling the va
cancy on the District Board
of Commissioners. There are
many Negroes here-lawyers
and busineSSmen-who could
do an efficient job in this
post. Reeves got the appoint
ment as a political reward
for services rendered. He has
been for a year now the Dem
ocratic National Committee
man for the District, and,
without reSigning that post,
has been serving as a paid
assistant on President Ken
nedy's staff at the White
House.
What happened in check
ing on the qualifications of
the prospective commission
er? The customary loyalty
checks were made and were
satisfactory, but nobody at
the White House examined
Evening star., 1961-07-03
Reeves Case a Blow to Kennedy

which will help in checking
up on other appointees.
But there is a broader
issue involved which the in
cident accentuates. More
than 100000 people live in
the District of Columbia.
They have no voice at all in
selecting their Board of
Commissioners or the preSid-
ing member of the commits
sion who is the equivalent of
a mayor. For, despite all the
hullabaloo about civil rights"
elsewhere, the people here
are not permitted to vote
their choice of city officials.
A constitutional amendment
has just been ratified which
gives the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia a chance to
vote in 1864 and thereafter
for President and Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States, but
the privilege of voting for
local officers continues to be
denied.
For many years the home
rule" movement has been
blocked because of a fear of
many citizens that the Negro
population, which is now
more than half of the total,
would elect officers solely
from the Negro community,
and that this would cause
dissenSion and bitter contro-
versy. In a way, President
Kennedy's appointment of a
Negro to be commissioner
may afford a test of the re-
action of the people of Wash
ington on these questions.
Hence, it was and is of the
utmost Importance to the
Negroes here to have their
best-qualified person in the
office of District commits
Sioner as an example that
might do much to allay the
fears of those who have been
opposing home rule"
The Reeves case could have
repercussicnS. Many citizens
may press more vigorously
now for a council elected for
two-year or four-year terms,
rather than depend here
after on the whim of a Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Self determination seems
to be the slogan which high
officials use in their speeches
in pleading for the natives Of
some of the African colonies.
But somehow self lf-determina-
tion for American citizens
living in the Capital of the
United States seems to be
constantly ignored.

President Kennedy's long
string of successes on major
parts Of his domestic legis-
lative program now seems
about to have run its course.
In matters like minimum
wages, housing. highway con-
struction. and emergency re-
lief to those areas still suf-
fering within a generally re-
viving economy, he has pretty
well had his way in these first
five months of his admin
iStration.
Now, however, and for a
variety of reasons, the easy
days may be said to be over.
First of all, he knew at the
outset that these easy days
also would be his own early
days. New Presidents get
more from Congress than do
Presidents who have settled
into office and so have be-
gun to suffer the inevitable
setbacks, domestically and in
world policy, which are in
herent in the office,
Then, his own necessary
preoccupation with a series
of foreign criSes-Cuba, Laos,
Berlin-has forced him to
concentrate more and more
on the world and less and
less on domestic issues.
Beyond all this, however,
is the significant fact that
a mood of general conserva-
tism has been hardening in

Mexico Keeps
Ruling Party

MEXICO CITY, July 8 (AP)
The ruling party of Revolu-
tionary Institutions today re-
tanned control of Mexico's
politics by sweeping the un-
eventful national election to
name 178 deputies and five
state governors.
Official reports will not be
made public for some time, but
unofficial tabulations indicated
PRI captured four state gov
ernorshipS and a big majority
of the legislature.
In the congressional races,
PRI was unoppoSed in 33 of the
178 posts. In others, it faced
generally weak opposition from
four parties, mainly the con-
servative Party of National

ular Socialist Party (PPS) con-
centrated on the governors
race in Sonora, but early re-
ports indicated the campaign
fell flat.
In other governors races, the
fight made by popular in
dependent Salvador Nava
Martinez in San Luis Potosi
attracted most interest. Mr..
Nava claimed he won, despite
PRI reports to the contrary. He
said if officials give the victory
to PR1 candidate Manuel Lopez
Davila when an announcement
is made July 9, he will call a
statewide strike.

we're sent to that central state
to maintain order during yes

rendezvous suggests that the
Kennedy administration has

State Chairman whose in
tegrity they respect but whose

failed to persuade them, it
seems, that Prendergast does
not know how to win elec-
tionS.
Thus the dangerous frag-
mentation of the State party
has not only continued but
has been accelerated by local
quarrels in the New York
mayoralty race which is
close at hand.

PorIey With Bailey Suggests Kennedy
Won't Try to Gust New York Leader

An interesting social note
comes from New York. Dem
ocratic State Chairman Prem
dergast will entertain this
week at cocktails and an
possibly the-honored guest
will be Democratic National
Chairman John Bailey.
Chairman Bailey is cur
rently resting at his Connect
icut home after an arduous
week on the beach at Waikiki
as the guest of Gov. Demp-
sey of Connecticut who was
attending the annual Gov
ernors Conference there.
New York Democrats hard
ly rest at all these days,
being busy working on each
other with their sharpest
knives in a frRcas whose out
come is uncertain but which
will have a heavy impact
on the 1862 and 1864 national
elections. Republicans who
regard New York and espec-
tally New York City as a
