THE POLITICAL MILL
KoWoIski Versus Ribicoff
By GOULD LINCOLN

Democratic National Chair
man John M. Bailey and
HEW Secretary Abraham A.
Ribicoff are both facing a real
test of political strength in
the Connecticut Democratic
State vention which
opens in Hartford Friday. Mr..
Bailey, President Kennedy'S
choice for national chairman,
has been working seven days
a week to line up delegates to
the convention who will vote
for nomination of President
Kennedy's first Secretary of
the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare to run
for Senator. There seems no
doubt whatever the Bailey
Ribicoff combination will
have more than a majority
of the delegate votes when
the S howdown comes. What
they are trying hard to pre-
vent is a 20 per cent vote in
the convention for Mr.. Ribi-
coff's rival for the senatorial
nomination. Representative
at-large Frank Kowalski, of
Meriden. If Mr.. Kowalski
receives such a vote he has
said he will challenge Ribi-
coff in a Democratic State
primary election. That, Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Ribicoff are
most anxious to prevent. Not
only has Mr.. Kowalski proved
himself a great vote-getter
in his races for Representa-
tive-at-large, but a bitter pri-
mary race could damage
chances for Democratic vic
tory in the general election
next November.
Mr.. Ribicoff, formerly a
member of Congress and
twice elected Governor of
Connecticut, is going back to
run for Senator to help bols-
ter the Democratic ticket, and
to make certain of capturing
the Senate seat now held by
Republican Senator Prescott
Bush, if he can.
Considerable Following
Mr.. KowalSki is a stubborn
former Army Colonel of Pol
ish blood. He has fatty re-
fused all efforts to get him
to step aside for Mr.. Ribicoff.
He entered the race for the
Senate nomination long be-
fore the Democratic organiza-
ton, headed by Mr.. Bailey.
decided to bring Mr.. Ribicoff
back from Washington-ap-
parently with President Ken
nedy's approval. And he has
said he will demand a pri-
mary election if he gets 20 per
cent or more of the conven-
ton vote-as he is entitled to
do under State law. He has
campaigned hard and long
and has a very considerable
personal following. The Polish
vote in the State is said to
run as high as Is per cent and
many of the Poles are up in
arms for Mr.. KowalSki. Fur
ther, he has much support
among the veteranS-and Mr..
Ribicoff was not a member
of the armed forces. And fl
nally, Mr.. Kowalski is sup
ported by many Of the local
labor unions.

by the State-not at work
freely chosen by individuals
as is the custom in the good
old U. S. A. under the Con-
stitution.
Planning by government
and pressure" of govern
ment-have been tried by
nations through history. 1t
does not bring either pros
perity or progress but the
opposite. The SovietS have
been planning" and promis-
ing for As years, and they
still are unable to feed their
people adequately.
The key to progress and
prosperity lies in the indi-
vidual's freedom to create,
trade, build and control the
fruits of his labor. The U. S.
A, under the Constitution,
has proved this. 1t is the only
system so far known which
has achieved increasing good
for its people. Only in the
last 80 years, through govern
ment intervention have we
begun to approach the fear
full state in which we find
ourselves today.
Why not try freedom again?
It's the only sure way.
Geraldine Berryhill.
y
David Lawrence's column
on the initiative of small
business being stifled, hit the
nail on the head.
It's high time that we real
ize that small business forms
an essential background to
Americas economy. If the
Federal Government cares to
tax us into oblivion, then
there is no incentive to main
tain a small business. And
without the formation and
growth of small business into
medium business, there will
never be big businesses and
then existing big businesses do
not have the necessary COM
petition which is the essential
check to keep prices from 60
ing even higher.
The important point that
many probably overlook is
that small business is the
first step in the long. logical
chain of free enterprise. 1t is
not prudent to overtax the
infant as he starts to crawl.

and detailed outline of the
citizens group, mailed from
Gettysburg on July /, which
material could not possibly
have been formulated or
printed in one night, as
would have to have been the
case, If this group had not
been carefully and long
planned.
The citizens group is very in
fluential in fund raising and
anyone who thinks that a
group acting in such a capa-
city doesn't have designs on
the formulation Of policy or
the selection Of candidates is
politically naive, If they pro-
pose to "scrupulously avoid
waSteful duplication and
overlap" I cannot find with
in my political experience
how this can be accom-
plished, when research, the
collection of money and the
development Of candidates
and issues are the major re-
sponsibilities Of the national
committee.
The names to be found
in this new organization are
the same to be found in the
original Citizens for Eisen-
hover group in 1852 and if in
the succeeding ten years these
men have not been able to
decide whether or not they
are Republicans to the ex-
tent that they will work
through regular Republican
channels, then there must be
strong reasons for this indie
cision. and these reasons
themselves will have a divi-
Sive effect in the party.
Others may have worked
just as hard, but no one any
harder than I have to create
unity within this party, for I
believe firmly in the two
party system. I don't believe
this new group can create
unity any more than the
Democratic Party or than the
strong influence of the AFL-
CLOS money has been able
to do within that party.
Certainly each party wants
help and each party welcomes
dedicated citizens who be-
lieve in the basic policies of
either party. But no good is
accomplished by having

does not arbitrarily assert
that an annually bal
anced budget is the Summum
bonum of fiscal administra-
ton. At times departure in
the direction of overbalance
can help drain off purchas-
ing power from an overex-
banded economy. At others,
a departure in the direction
Of a deficit may help increase
purchasing power to offset a
contraction in the economy"
Mr.. Hauge went on: 1.-THE
latter consideration was il
Illustrated in early 1854. BY
maintaining taxes at existing
rates, the President might
we'll have been able to bal
ance the budget in the fol-
lowing fiscal year. However,
his judgment was that broad
tax reductions at that time
were essential for purposes of
overall economic stability
and growth. Tax reduction
was one of his major instru-
mentS in dealing with the
mild economic contraction
then underway. -"
I hope Gen. Eisenhower
now will not say that Presi-
dent Eisenhower was "fis-
cally irresponsible" because
he deliberately planned to
have a budgetary deficit in
1854.

Senator GoIdwoter and the Republican Party

I have followed with inter-
est your editorial comments
relative to my original letter
to Chairman Bill Miller, OBJ
jecting to the recognition Of
the National Republican Cit
liens Committee as an ad-
junct Of the national COM
mittee. I should like to outline
to you Eny reasoning for this
objection, so that your read
ers might have q better un-
derstanding Of it.
At no time was this pro-
posal discussed with the ma
tional committeeman and
committeewomen as a body,
nor with the Executive Com
mittee, and 1t Is a move of
such potential importance
that I feel it should have been
handled through normal par
ty channels. This ignoring OF
party channels, by the way,
is what I referred to when I
made the objection in my
original letter which ran
counter to the traditional
principles Of the Republican
Party and the counsel of reg
ular party leaders" It was
under the aegis Of this same
group, plus Sherman Adams,
that the national committee
was ignored In the fields of
patronage and party policy. I
had hoped that we were well
on the way under Miller of
depending again upon the
regular party machinery plus
congressional leadership, for
the formulation of party
policy.
The chairman at no time
discussed this citizens group
with me nor, to my knowl-
edge. with my counterpart,
Congressman Bob Wilson in
the House. 1t was not dis
cusSed at the meeting at
Gettysburg. In fact, accord
ing to the best advice I can
get. at the very close of the
meeting some announcement
was made of the formation
of the group. When 1 in
quired about the possibilities
of such an organization as
late as Thursday preceding
the Saturday of the meeting,
I was assured by the nation
al chairman that no such or
ganiZation was contemplated.
I have seen since the Gettys-
burg meeting a rather broad

as the Kennedy organization
did in the Massachusetts
Democratic State Convention
to indorSe the Presidents
youngest brother, Ted, for
the Senate-remains to be
seen. If Mr.. Kowalski, after
the convention vote is taken.
decides that there was undue
influence brought to bear on
the delegates. he may run as
an independent candidate
for the Senate in the Novem-
Der election. That could eff
fectively cut Mr.. Ribicoff's
political throat.
Not Promising Support
The Bailey organization
wants Mr.. Kowalski to run
again for Representatives.
large; it dearly wants him on
the ticket with Mr.. Ribicoff.
So far Mr.. Kowalski has not
been buying any of this. The
organization is willing, it is
reported, to make any con-
ceSSionS. If Mr.. Kowalski
should decide to seek re-elec-
ton for the House, it is said
he will make it clear he is
not promising to support Mr..
Ribicoff or to have anything
to do with his campaign. In
any event, if Mr.. Kowalski
receives 20 per cent Of the
convention vote, he will try to
defeat Mr.. Ribicoff in a pri-
mary election. If he fails to
get the 20 per cent vote, he
may run as an independent,
may seek reelection, or just
sit on his hands.
Mr.. Ribicoff is expected to
resign his cabinet office be-
fore the State convention
opens. One of the things
which has angered Mr.. Ko-
walski particularly has been
Mr.. Ribicoff's unwillingneSs
to quit his high job and go
to Connecticut to campaign
against him, instead of re-
naming in Washington and
letting the Bailey organiza-
ton handle the delegate
situation.
For 16 years Mr.. Bailey
has been Democratic State
Chairman. He became keenly
interested in Mr.. Ribicoff
who was elected to the State
Assembly, became police
court judge in Hartford and
in 1913 was elected to Con-
greSS and reelected in 1850.
In 1852, Mr.. Ribicoff ran for
Senator against Senator Bush
and was defeated. Two years
later he made a comeback,
defeating Republican Gov.
John Lodge, then seeking re-
election. In 1858, he was re-
elected Governor. In the
meantime, Mr.. Ribicoff had
become keenly interested in
John F. Kennedy as a presi-
dental nominee and, along
with Mr.. Bailey, did his best
to further the Kennedy
candidacy.
AS the state convention
approaches, the Bailey or
ganization claims that Mr..
Kowalski will receive 160
delegate votes or less. Twenty
per cent would be 1911. The
Kowalski people. on the other
hand, are hoping for a 200
vote minimum, and some
think his vote will go as high
as 230 or $50.
