I've noticed so many let
ters in this column about
travelling that I thought this
little hint might help. Use
a large discarded purse as a
first aid kit in the car. Put
in it first aid supplies that
will promptly take care of an

don't have to worry about

Somber Approach to World Position
OF u. S. Held Justified by Outbreak

The bitter sight Of mob
violence in the galleries Of
the United Nations has done
one thing for President Ken
nedy. It has justified his
somber approach to the world
position Of the United States.
This country has long built
its policy around the United
Nations as an institution Of
permanent value in the
search for, peace. No reSpon-
sible suggestions, have been
made for alteration in that
procedure. nor has the adj
ministration any, intention
Of. abandoning it.
Former Gov. Williams rof
Michigan took off as sched-
uled for his long look at
Africa, almost at the mo-
ment when u. N. guards

Of greatest danger where the
decisions were being made.
1t Is obvious that If his
stature abroad is what his
admirers think it Is, 1t could
not right now be put to better
use.

Of strength and calm def
ance. 1t is hoped that it
will prove effective against
the frenzied Soviet approach.
The State Department is
holding back to let the
President speak for himself
and through Mr.. Stevenson.
It is confident that investi-
cation will show the dem
onstration was directed and
planned by the Communists.
It was also. as they point
out, relatively small despite
its ferocity.
The central question re-
manned the protection of the
office Of U. N. Secretary Cen
eral as it becomes ever more
apparent that Soviet STRAIT
egy is to get rid of anyone
in that post who crosses them.
Certain pressures will build
again, too. especially in the
Congress, which have been
more or less subdued during
the time when the Govern
ment has been changing
hands. A major one will be
directed against the cessation
Of nuclear weapons testing

about a year ago and con-
tinued by President Kennedy.

Mr.. Kennedy has said he
wants to give disarmament
negotiations another big try
before he orders assumptions
Of the tests. But that big try
has been slow to get off the
ground and critics Of the
cessation policy. including
some objective experts in
the nuclear field, are thor
oughly unhappy about the
whole process.
The Soviet Union also has
said it is not testing nuclear
weapons. There is no OBJ
jective evidence available
that can be applied to their
assurances, nor indeed to
ours.
The incoming chairman Of
the Joint Atomic Energy
Committee OF the Congress,
Representative Holifield of
California, hopes to get Or
ganized this week so that
orderly channels for debate
and dispute on such ques-
tions will be available. Nor
has the Atomic Energy Com
mission been fully manned
and its new chairman, DR..
Glenn Seaborg, been con-
firmed.
The President will start in
fun control Of policy in all
such areas. But against pro-
longed agitation and frantic
alarms and excursions. he
will find it difficult to main
tain that control.

Enhancing Presidents Press Talks

If questions had to be
handed in at the White
House D few hours ahead Of
the Presidents press confer
encesand newsmen could
be encouraged to file some Of
them even q day In advance
there could be more prep
aration than now is possible.
Certainly, there would be a
better chance to get q COM
prehensive answer from the
President - and, after all.
that is the main, purpose Of
the news conference. It is
not intended to be a theatri-
cal performance or a vehicle
for political oratory or for
impertinent comments by the
reporters. Live" televisien
shows of a hit-or-miss sort
could easily defeat the main
purpose and become boring to
listeners, especially If the
time is taken up with ques-
tions of minor Importance or
with specialized subjects that
can better be handled by
cabinet officers.
For there is no reason why
the President should find it
necessary to discuss subjects
that are being thoroughly ex-
plored by the heads of Gov
ernment departments and
agencies who themselves hold
press conferences regularly
and can give answers more
fully to the reporters.
The President. of course,
could bring up topics Of his
own and make comments on
them. This would naturally
open the conference to ques-
tions on any statements that
he himself has introduced.
The important change would
be in the filing of written
questions in advance but with
the understanding that. once
the President gave an an
swer. further questions on
that same subject could be
asked if the reporters so de-
sired. All this could mean in
the long run more informa-
ton for the people on ma
tional and International poll
cieS.

the Soviet Union to learn
and not to participate in the
cold war, he was expelled. not

also from the Soviet Union.
There should be no doubt
in the minds Of those who

There was a story in the

There is q certain formula
in the legends.
The Character" always
wrote better drunk than
sober.
This has a picturesque
tinge to It. The only trouble
with it is that 1t isn't true.
In all newspaper history
there never was even one re-
porter who wrote better
drunk than sober. Not only
that, there never was one
who wrote better half-drunk.
At the base of every legend
about the drunk who turned
out deathless prose despite
the fact he was deeply stewed

used his own black" or

from a fellow filing to g. dis

three paragraphs to make it
apply to the drunk's home

When the story came out

Submitting Of Questions Beforehand
Urged to Benefit All Concerned

~
sometimes they are repeti-
tious. Often many Of the
newsmen would like to pur-
sue q particular topic but do
not have a chance to finish
asking about it before the
President is diverted by
other questions on something
else, entirely unrelated. This
sometimes cuts off useful
discussion.
The present-day confer
ences do not enhance the.
prestige Of the press. as
some Of the questions. are
popped in such irregular
fashion that listeners do not
get their true significance.
In fact, it is sometimes hard
for the television or radio
audience to get the full inn
port Of . question. Thus, If
each written question were
read aloud by the President
or someone on his staff, the
audience would hear every
word and know just what
was being discussed.
This whole problem has
been up in previous admin
istrations, but it hasn't been
as important before because
press conferences had not
been presented "live" on tel
evision or radio until this
administration came into Of
flee on January 20. The i'm
preston which the Nation
gets Of its press is as i'm
portant as the impression it
gets Of the president who is
being interviewed.
Nothing like the presiden-
tial press conference takes
place regularly anywhere
else in the world. The near
est thing to it are the de-
bates held in the parlia-
ments Of Europe where op-
position members formally
submit written questions
several days in advance.
Once these are answered by

man, there is full discussion
