Byron "Whizzer" White, the

contradictory about his varied
career-and quotes from the an
cient Greeks to prove 1t.

liked to play football. I don't see
any inconsistency between doing
well scholastically and playing
football.
The Greeks felt that a man
was a varied enough being to
have not only soul and q mind
but a body. In the age Of Pericles,
there was probably more hero
worship of athletes than there is
today. The writer Isocrates made
statements almost identical with
those of college presidents today,
saying wasn't it too bad that the
public worships athletes so much.
But the Greeks produced q great
culture. The public attitude to-
ward athletes didn't interfere
much with the public attitude
toward culture"

but the present civilian bosses
who have, for instance, tried to

not impossible.
Mr.. Mcnamara has no plans for

to him on this job-after all he
muffed 1t on the Edsel back at
Ford-but he has a habit Of sue

A Successful Career
He was selected because success

along with o group Of bright

he became president Of the COM

was elected.
He had no iatontion Of entering
the Government. But when Mr..
Kennedy began casting around for
q cabinet. Mr.. Mcnamara was one
man whom adviser after adviser
said was able to fill almost any
cabinet Job.
Mr.. Kennedy shuffled names
around, tried Mr.. McNamara's
out in several slots, 1t Is said, and
then fixed on Defense. He invited
him, assuring him that being a
Republican was no handicap. Mr..
Mcnamara was q Kennedy Re-
publican, however. so he had no
political qualms about coming into
the cabinet.
He had other problems.
Did he want to give up $400.0 900
a year in pay and benefits and SO
million in probable stock profits?
He decided he was reasonably
wealthy already and In poor po-
sition to say mo" to q request
from the President Of his coun-

Did he want to give up the Job

war Just when 1t was given to

portunities for service-and the
pleasure Of doing an important

Ford look provincial, so he cut
himself off from Ford and the
auto industry and decided that
for the foreseeable future he was
a public servant.
The Quiet Life
Did he want to give up his
quiet, independent life in Detroit
and Ann Arbor for the reputa-
tion-killing fishbowl Of cabinet
life? He decided it could be very
unpleasant, but he would Just
have to put up with 1t.
He plans to spend the next four
years working long hours in the
Pentagon and studying defense at
home in the evening. He will do

out Of his pre-medical courses.
Those were years Of turmoil when
people were vitality interested in
economics and sociology. Mr..
White shifted to an economics
major and turned to law as a
profession.
AS for his relationship with Mr..
Kennedy, he first met him cas-
ually while reading law at Oxford
on his Rhodes scholarship. They
met again in the Pacific when he
was a naval intelligence officer
on Admiral william Bull" Hal
sey's staff assigned to motor tor
pedo boats in the Solomon Islands.
There was no occasion for us
to be close or intimate friends"
he said. HE was a boat officer
I had to do with like other boat
officers. But I did pick up feel
ing for his courage and integrity"
The casual relationship contin-
ued while Mr.. White worked for
Chief Justice Vinson and Mr.. Ken
nedy was a freshman Congress-
man. But from 1947. when he
returned to Denver to enter law
practice. until 1856, when Mr..
Kennedy came to Colorado to
make some speeches. Mr.. Whiee
was only aware Of Mr.. Kennedy
from what he read and heard
about him.
After the 1856 speeches in
Colorado" he said, II paid a little
closer attention to him. I was
impressed as much as anything by
his attempts to enlist the best
thinking of the country in the
solution of public problems. If the
colleges had anything to contrib
ute. he felt they should do so.
He recognized that there was no
monopoly on ideas.
I'm 1858, he returned to Colo.

been active at each election in
trying to do something for some
candidate (though he never ran
for office himself. This time,
thought who was to be the next
President was important and that
everyone should pick his candi-
date and try to do something
about it,"
SO he formed the Kennedy
committee in 1859 and started
working with an eye to the con-
vention. He was rated the domi-
nant force in winning 81 of
Colorado's AZ delegates for Mr..
Kennedy before the convention.

After the convention. the Ken
nedy brothers decided there
should be an organization outside
the party to work for the Ken

Now, he will be working for
Bob Kennedy again. His reason

The Judge was named United

President Coolidge and served in
that position from 1929 until 1888.
He practiced law in Macon from
1888 to 1854 as a member Of the
law firm Of Carlisle & Bootle.
For five of those years he was also
acting dean of the Mercer Univer-
sity Law School.
President Eisenhower appointed

ing. He doesn't like it and doesn't
see how it can help the country
get q better Defense Department.
His idea Of q pleasant evening
is to meet with q few friends from
the academic world and argue
problems Of Government. foreign
affairs or philosophy of history.
He read lot of books until
he came to Washington, mostly
serious non-fiction. Off hand he
can recall reading only one recent
military book-"The Question of
National Defense" by Oskar Nor
genstern. This book supports the
Navy -oriented idea of a small nu-
clear deterrence force built around
the Polaris submarine and aimed
at Soviet cities. But lest the Navy
feel too complacent, Mr.. Nor
genstern's book also says aircraft
carriers aren't worth much.
It is futile to speculate about
policy changes in the Mcnamara
regime. He couldn't speculate
himself. He has no ideas except
that he wants to review all de-
fense policies and weapon plans
and make up his own mind.
At first he plans simply to be
a judge. This, he feels, is a rather,
easy thing to do. He will listen
to the pleadings on all sides and
make a ruling. When he learns
the issues - perhaps in a few
months or a year or so-he intends
to be a leader. He will suggest
courses Of action, actively criticize
existing plans and turn the Pen
tagon into the directions he thinks
best.
This will be the turning point
for Mr.. Mcnamara. He can be
great-or on his way out.
Speculation on Methods
How will he operate? He does
not know. but he likes some of
Mr.. Gates methods. For instance,
one much-praised Gates technique
has been to sit often with the
Joint Chiefs of Staff during their
discussions. He does not run the
Chiefs, but he Is in on all their
disputes. and he knows the issues
thoroughly before they come to
him for decision.
Mr.. Gates gets along well with
the Chiefs personally. They all
like him-which has not been the
case with past secretaries. Mr..
McNamara has been impressed
by the personal friendship be-
tween Mr.. Gates and the Chiefs
and wants to create something of
the same relationship. Already he
has started making them his
friends, and his unexpectedly
easy manner. combined with his
intelligence and will to work has
begun to win them over.
One old Mcnamara friend said
there Is one route to success Bob"
will not use-the- public relations
approach. Many successful Wash
ington officials have use it-dram-
atizing their own personalities and
taking their arguments to the
public.
Mr.. Mcnamara may yearn for
the short = cut results of free
wheeling public relations. but he
just isn't the type. He prefers to
do his job in his office and stand
or fall on the results.
That was the way he worked at
Ford. Company public relations
men hardly knew him. and they

The Right Questions


unfamiliar to Mr.. Mcnamara said
he listened carefully and alertly.
He asked frequent questions, and
the questions were almost always
the ones the officer felt were
worth extra attention in crowded
day.
Mr.. Mcnamara indicated in
some Of his questions that he
was reaching tentative conclusions,
and the conclusions were logical
ones. Sometimes, however, the Of
ficer felt they were not the right
ones for the Pentagon.
His conclusions indicated he be-
lieved the Pentagon worked along
the lines laid down in the formal
charts and along normal paths of
human relationships. What he
did not seem to realize, according
to the report, was the extent to
which interservice interests and
backstage knitting can warp nor
NAL ways Of doing business. In
a building divided into three rigid
but overlapping and conflicting
institutions-the Army, Navy and
Air Force-paths Of action can
get pretty crooked.
; For instance, by looking at his
legal authority, Mr.. Mcnamara
can conclude that he has vast
power to order a lot Of things
changed. Already he is learning
that it is not that neat, however.
The services know when a de-
cision may go against them. So
they go to powerful Congressmen
and set Up subtle, indirect OBJ
structions; they start pressure
campaigns through defense con-
tractors; they leak" reports to
reporters; they shift the battle
ground away from objective ma
tional interests to selfish service
perogatives and they overwhelm
a defense secretary with infor-
nation and arguments that can
occupy a conscientious man for
his whole term Of office.
Mr.. Mcnamara will find that a
reasonable time never seems to
come for a clear-cut order but

through the jungle.
He is getting plenty Of help
from Mr.. Gates In learning how

directors Of Scott Paper Co. When
Mr.. Mcnamara was offered the
Defense Department Job he came
to Mr.. Gates to find out about 1t.
Mr.. Gates told him the problems
and offered to help him In the
transition - and obviously en-
couraged him to say, YES" to

thur H. Dean, with the backing
of Britain's David Ormsby-
Gore, introduced two amend
ments to the American British
draft test ban treaty submitted
to the conference last April but
so far consistently ignored by
Soviet negotiator Semyon K.
Tsarapkin.
The first Western proposal is
to grant the 11-nation control
commission, which will be the
political directorate of the pro-
posed test ban control organ
ization, the right to dismiss an
insubordinate or incompetent
administrator before his term
of office expires.
Should Be Neutral
In the Western view, the ad-
ministrator, who would direct
the day-to-day operations of
the control system without in
reference from above-should
be a neutral scientist.
The Soviet Union opposes
that view. Tsarapkin has
claimed there is no truly neu-
trail man in the whole world,
and he has charged the West
seeks a single control chief
only because it feels certain it
can influence him against So
Wet interests.
Instead TSarapkin insisted
on his so-called troika pro-
posal providing for a trium-
virate OF one Westerner, one
neutral and one Communist
administrator. Unanimity would
be required for all decisions
and the United States and
Britain says this would consti-
tute a veto they will not accept.
Dean said the Western sug-
geStion that the control COM
mission be entitled to fire the
single administrator sis a COM
plete answer to every argu-
ment the Soviet delegate has
ever put forward to Justify his
demand for a (three-nation)
administrative council" to di-
rect the control system.
NOnaligned Members
The second Western proposal
called for half the personnel of
on-site inspection teams to
come from nonaligned coun-
tries. For inspections on Com
munist territory, the balance
of the team, including the team
chief, would come from West
ern countries, while for in
SpectionS on Western territory
the other half of the team,
including its chief, would be
Communist nationals.
The Russians had proposed
that the inspection teams be
half Western and half Com
munist, with the chief to be a
national of the country being
inspected.
