Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1962-01-05

What is surprising is that
political associates appear to share
Halleck's assessment of the ma
tons political mood. I am not
speaking Of reports that Lawrence
O'Brien, the Presidents political
chief Of staff, also sees a strong
conservative trend. This thinking
permeates the Democratic Nation
al Committee and even among
those working on the new budget.
The result is that among high
level Administration pers onn ell
there is very little these days that
is bold or imaginative or that ap-
proaches the spirit Of the 1860
campaign. Instead there seems to
be an obsession with what is known
as political realism. This is a
disease that affects many poiti-
clans and often results in political
paralysis.
Every cursory examination of
the Kennedy Administrators first
year shows that not only Is the
Administration standing still but
that there are significant areas of
retreat on the home front.
Aside from the Peace Corps
there was not much in the way Of
positive achievement to which the
Administration could point during
1861, emitting mixed results in
the conduct of foreign affairs.
Moreover the spirit-or lack Of it
with which The White House ap-
proaches the forthcoming session
does not give hope for anything
significant to be accomplished in
the coming year.
The reason for this state Of at
fairs could be that the Presidents
political staff-and possibly the
President himself-are overly-im-
pressed with the clamor Of the
rightists. While the White House
publicists wish to picture the Ad-
ministration as moderate, there
is a danger they will instead leave
an impression of emptiness.
What they seem to have forgot
ten is that they won the close 1860
election by talking and acting like
liberal Democrats, not like conserv-
alive Republicans.
What are the areas Of retreat?
Federal aid to public schools
The Administration, under inept
generalship Of HEw Secretary
Ribicoff, flunked the school test at
the last session. There has been
finger-pointing by Mr.. Ribicoff at
the school teachers. There has also
been private criticism, from some
quarters, Of Cardinal Spellman.
Yet the fact Is that the Presi-
dent has not taken the school fight
to the people even though the
needs he described in the 1850
campaign remain unfulfilled- There
have also been suggestions that
the religious" issue should be met
by a constitutional amendment,
rather than deferring action now
for the public schools. The Admin
istration did not act on the sugges-
ton. Instead it seems to have run
for cover in hopes that the school
storm will pass.
DISCRIMINATION In housing -
The big argument for postponing
congressional moves for stronger
federal civil rights legislation
has been that the President
would handle this problem by ex-
ecutive action. But on the first
big test, ending racial restric-
lions IN federaIly-Supported hOus-
ing, the Administration apPar-
entity has decided 10 put off ex-
ecutive action indefinitely, lest

-Negotiators for two striking
unions-the Cleveland News
paper Guild and TeamsterS
Local 473-were to meet sep
arately today with officials Of
the city's two daily newspapers
in an attempt to end the 27-
day-old strike.
The first meeting is at 2 pm.
in the office of the Federal
Mediation and Cancellation
Service. 1t involves the Guild
and the Morning Plain Dealer
and the afternoon Scripps-
Howard Cleveland Press and

There have been no meetings
in that strike since Friday. The
guild then rejected a manage
ment package offer for a two
year contract to replace one
which expired october 81.
Management also plans to
meet with the Teamsters al
4 pm. Prior to that negotiating
session, the Transfers have
called membership meetings for
the drivers. Anthony Depalma,
business agent, said the union
wants to present progress re-
port to the ASS drivers it rep
resents at the two papers but
that there is nothing for the

Attack on Civilian Employees
Brings Reply in Their Defense

Mr.. White also refers TO the
"35-hour week" in Government
for civilian employees guar
anteed by the stone tablets OF
bureaucracy" as contrasted to
the endless hours worked by
the military. Mr.. White is too
good a reporter not TO know
that all civilian employees in
Government are on a 40-hour
week.
And so his column goes,
seeking to tear down the Gov
Iernment's civilian employees as
II builds up the military per-
sonnCl.
The plain fact is that both
groups are vital TO the Ration
civilians and military. Neither
group can get along without
the other. Nor can the people
OF the United States get along
without our military and
civilian personnel working to-
Rether TO keep this country

who devote all OF their adult
lives to the Government, in
some cases at a financial dis
advantage since many OF them
could get better-paying jobs

This reporter usually doesn't
engage in personal Journalism
let alone quarrel in public with
an able newspaperman.
But Bill Whites column has

long enough, and scarcity would
tend to boost prices. "
The same effect would be
achieved if domestic shipments
normally sent by sea are
transported by more expensive
means.
Only a few ships have put to
sea from the affected ports
those loaded before the strike
started Sunday or those carry
ing military, emergency or
dangerous cargoes, which the
longshoremen said they would
continue to handle.
Attenuation Is Issue
The key issue in the dispute
is the shipowners' demand that
longshoremen work gangs be
cut from 20 to II men. The
lila said it did not want tc
negotiate its men out of bust
ness in the name of automation
A four-day lila strike over
the same issues was halted
early last october by an 80-day
"cooling-off" injunction secured
at President Kennedy's orders
under provisions Of the Taft
Hartley Act.

that injunction, and no new

also curtail movement OF grain

Decision Expected Soon
With final decisions on the
1854 fiscal year budget expected

He is reported aiming for tax
reductions amounting to be-
tween SIS and $40 billion a year.
Most widely discussed proposals
would involve reducing the
minimum income tax bite from
20 per cent to Is per cent, cut
ting the top bracket rate from
81 to 65 per cents, and drop
ping the income tax on COR
poration profits from So to Al
per cent-perhaps in stages all
along the scale.
To make the tax cuts he
considers essential for eco
nomic growth more palatable
to the influential conservative
bloc in Congress, the President
has promised to hold down
spending proposals outside the
defense and space fields.

The perishable cargo was in
the holds of the freighter Glen

shoremen have refused to un-
bad it, the spokesman said.
Delivery Awaited
The (South Carolina) farm
ers are anxious to get delivery

man continued, but the union
refused our plea. If the strike
lasts any length of time those

The Glenview was not the
only ship affected by the walk
out. Scores of vessels lay idle
in ports from Searsport, Maine
to Brownsville, Tex.
The longshoremen claimed
100 per cent effectiveness in
their strike, which is supported
by the 50,000-member National
Maritime Union.
There was no picketing

was anchored with about 10000
stems of bananas in her re-
frigerated holds. A spokesman
FOR Standard Fruit g. Steam
Ship Co. said the refrigeration

Perishable cargoes that could
be lost due to the strike repre-

tiisparaged civilian personnel in

He called them "untouch-
ables" who are free 10 disobey
orders since they are protected
by dozens OF civil service regu-
iations and built-in privileges. "

them that perhaps they have

Need Is Undisputed
Now, no one disputes the
need OF a pay raise for military
personnel. In fact, the Ameri-

Long Range Benefit
While the Immediate effect
of tax cuts he will seek will be
to increase a budget deficit,
Mr.. Kennedy argued in his De-
cember IA speech to the Eco
nomic Club of New York that
the "soundest way to raise
revenues in the long run is to
cut rates now"
He explained that his key
objective, however, is to raise
our economy to a new and
higher level of business ac-
tivity" by reducing the tax
burden on private income so as
to "cut the fetters which hold
back private spending" and
thereby increase private con-
sumption and investment de-
mand.
With the military budget UP
for final decision tomorrow, the
President will shift attention
Friday to programs Of the
health, education to go up more
than any domestic agency.

the bloody Battle Of the Bulge
of World War II to reinforce
his case, stressing the heroism
of our soldiers and their ordeal
and sacrifices.
Mr.. White overlooked the
point that perhaps 80 per cent
OF the soldiers then we're not
professional military men but
civilians. And since more than
so per cent OF Government
civilian employees are veterans,
many Of the valiant soldiers
who participated in the Battle
Of the Bulge and other conflicts
that helped win the war are
now civilian employees Of the
Government.
Consequently they are ma
ligned In any general charge
that Federal civilian workers
are coddled and shirk their
duties.

MISLEADING

Mr.. White also contends that
these favored civilians" re-
ceive far more" pay than the
military men they work under
Az first glance this appears
10 be correct But when you
consider that civilian employees
pay Ga per cent OF their SAL
aries for retirement benefits
(the military gets theirs free
except for social security COW
erage), plus the fact that a
portion Of military pay is tax
exempt and the fact that mill
tary and their dependents get
free medical care, etc, the
civilians take-home pay is not
any greater.
This is not 10 deny that
military pay is too low anc
should be raised. But IT'S un.
fair 10 make civilian employe,
