I am amused to observe
that since the invasion Of
Goa by the Indian Union,
about a year ago. Mr.. Nehru
is becoming day by day more
Portuguese minded and sees
wisdom In sixteenth CEN
tury mentality" Like Portu-
gal, who had demanded that
India respect the 45l-year-
old boundary that separated
her from the Portuguese ter
ritories OF Goa, Damao and
Diu. Mr.. Nehru demands that
China respect the tradition
al and historical" Mcmahon
Line Of 1914. And what is
more interesting is TO read in
your daily OF December 10.
thai Mr.. Nehru has offered
TO refer the China-India
border dispute TO the Inter-
national Court Of Justice at
The Hague.
II was in 1854 that India
usurped the Portuguese en-
claves Of Dadra and Nagar
Aveli and Portugal likewise
referred the violation Of Por-
tuguese sovereignty 10 the
international Court OF jus
tice. The international Court
OF Justice ruled in favor OF
Portugal and upheld Portu-
gals sovereignty over the en-
claves usurped by India. Mr..
Nehru not only refused TO re-
spect the verdict OF the In
ternational Court, but chal-
lenged II further. by invad-
ing In last December. that
undefended territory OF Goa,
Damao and Diu.
Now Mr.. Nehru turns 10
the international Court OF
Justice for his own sake. II
now remains TO be seen
whether China is more re-
Spectful and more UNDER
standing. J. X. Dias.

In this brief hiatus before
the new Congress gathers
here with the new year, there
are mounting omens that
President Kennedy's principal
struggles again will be with
the House Of Representatives
and that many he will lose.
All that is now visible sug-
gests 1t will be even less
hospitable to his welfare pro-
grams-medicare and so on
than was the old House.
And added now to this fore
cast must be another to the
effect that his purely eco
nomic leadership, too, will
come under much heavier at
tack than before.
AS this correspondent pre-
dicted some months ago, but
with less confidence than
now, there is the strongest
question that he will be able
to obtain that general tax
cut for 1868 to which he is
committed. He can hardly do
so, that is. unless he con-
sents to reduce Federal
spending far below what his
administration would think
tolerable-unless, in short, he
comedies to Congress an ex-
traordinary degree of con-
troll over his budget pro-
posalS.
In both welfare and eco
nomic legislation it might
be supposed that he will re-
ceive a somewhat more
favorable hearing from the
Senate than before. since the
new Senate will be a trifle
more Democratic in tone. This,
however, cannot at best be
more than a theoretical gain.
For a more friendly general
Senate attitude cannot in
any circumstance compensate
for the root fact that he
has lost ground in the House,
in more senses than one.
More Conservative
Not only will the new
House be slightly more Re-
publican than before, in the
mere measure of numbers.
Far more Importantly, it will
be conclusively more con-
servative-not excluding its
Democratic majority - in
terms of basic reality. The
old road block" to many
Kennedy programs, to en-
ploy a hard-used and de-
pendable cliche, has been the
House Rules Committee.
This group is largely able
to decide on its own bat

marked. is his condition. Un-
like the others he is not a
respected warrior, but neither
is he kepu, in the sense of
cowardice. In war Woluklek
is very often at the fore, but
his activity is distracted, aim
less as If he had wandered
across the battle line on his
way elsewhere and remained
within the range of death out
Of bemuSement. Yet he is not
simple. 1t is as If, on the
sunny paths Of childhood, he
had strayed out of his world
into a dream and allowed the
dream to watt him where it
would, his life or death a
matter of indifference"
But for all the poetic prose,
the hard facts are there. We
learn about the primitive ag-
riculture practiced by the
Kurelu with a single imple-
ment. a simple digging stick.
We learn something Of the
relation between men and
women - division Of labor,
marriage practices and the
like. The Kurelu keep pigs,
but rarely kill them except
for ceremonial reasons. Pig
stealing, of course, is a great
crime, but also something Of
an art.
AND THERE is WAR. It is
a strange sort Of affair, both
vicious and ceremonial. Peo-
pie are killed and there are
elaborate funerals which are
vividly described. But 1t is
clear that not nearly so many
die as the state Of their rudi-
mentary technology allows. II
there is no mercy in the fire.
quent ambuscades, there seem
to be elaborate rules govern
ing the conduct Of open bat
ties. But obviously, they are
mostly subconscious.
OF necessity, there is in
tense harshness in primitive
life. Yet 1t all seems gentle
and almost dreamlike as Mr..
M Matthiessen a recounts 1t.
Whether this is part of the
Kurelu character or Mr..
Mathiessen's vision is impos-
sible to say, but one suspects
there is at least a substantial
part of the latter involved.
The Kurelu have now been
discovered. Soon they will be
no more than another back
ward people, crouched In the
long shadow Of the white
man."
We can do no more than
be grateful that professional
anthropologists have lived
with them In their innocence
and that their untouched life
has been described by an ar
tist Of deep sensitivity.

THE PASSING SCENE
Kennedy Road Block in House
By WILLIAMS. WHIT

which bills shall and shall
not reach the House floor
for a vote. Assisted by all
the prestige of the late
Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas, the administration
was able two years ago to
pack that committee at the
onset of the old Congress to
a point where Kennedy bills
were assured a relatively
kind hearing. But this quail
fled reform will now die
unless it is reinstituted by
special vote of the House.
Failing such a vote, the
committee will automatically
be unpacked all over again
and so return to its old and
cheerfully "anti Kennedy"
position in many matters, not
only welfare matters.
Capability Questioned
There is sound reason to
question the capacity of the
present Speaker, John w. Nc
Cormack of Massachusetts,, to
keep the committee packed.
Worse yet, from the admin
istration's standpoint, even
If this could be accomplished
the true nature and value
of the resulting victory would
be highly debatable.
For the most heroic self
sacrifice and risk-taking will
in any event be required Of
the heretofore m oderate
Southern members of the
committee - including one
who was only added to 1t IN
the original packing, Repre-
sentative Carl Elliott of Ala
bama to go along with
Kennedy proposals this time.
The reason is that the more
or less pro-Kennedy Demo-
Gratis were badly scared near
ly all over the South in the
elections of November by an
angry tide of conservatism
and /or Republicanism; and
nowhere more so than in
Alabama.
The long and short Of 1t
is that while November's
election heartened Mr.. Ken
nedy as to most Of the Ma
ton, it plainly showed that
in the South, Southwest and
Far West pro-Kennedyism is
a dangerous attitude to a
politician. No matter what
his position in the country
at large may be, the Presi-
dent has yet to carry the
House itself for his domestic
policies.

Near the center of New
Guinea, in the shadow of a
mountain range. there lives
a stone-age people whose very
existence was unknown to
the outside world until a few
years ago. These are the
southern Kurelu, and because
they were entirely untouched
by civilization, their culture
was chosen for study by the
Harvard Peabody Expedition
of 1851" The expedition re-
manned with the Kurelu from
September to March Of that
year. It had an unhappy,
headline-making end, for this
was the expedition on which
young Michael Rockefeller
was lost.
Peter Matthiessen's book
about the Kurelu is written
in warm memory of Michael
Rockefeller" and it is dec
Grated with his lovely, unfin-
ished drawing of the noun

Kurelu live.

layman - battling diagrams
Of kinship concepts and the
like.

Wall" is not such a book.
Mr.. MatthiesSen has written
novels, and he sees the
Kurelu with the novelist's
eye. He is interested in char
acter, which he describes in
western psychological terms.
a practice that will doubt
less infuriate some anthro-
biologists.
And too, he is interested
In scenery. Again, he sees
as an artist rather than a
scientist.
"THE MORNING SUM-"
he writes, filtered through
the leaves in patches, alight-

bamboo shot toward holes OF

stiffness back to earth, only
to bend UP again. toward the

giant tree had fallen, an

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Budget Deficits
Now traditional
BY SYLVIA PORTER

of the 1950s - years of our
greatest prosperity? Paychecks
scared, profits jumped and, al
though we spent hundreds OF
billions at home and abroad, We
earned trillions which were
taxed at very high rates.
How explain the deficits so
far in the 1960s-years which
have been relatively prosperous
by all reasonable yardstickS?
The business recession of 1860
was exceedingly mild. the re-
covery since early 1861 has
carried us to new income peaks,
tax rates are still very high.
How explain the deficits,
then? The only explanation
comes back again to the heart
of all economic debates these
days-our sluggish rate Of
growth since the mid-1950s.
If we were growing fast
enough, we would be creating
the profits and paychecks to
produce the taxes to cover our
rising spending. We are not
growing fast enough.
1t is this central point which
is impelling Mr.. Kennedy to ask
that spending increases be lin
tied and to risk swelling the
deficits in 1868 and 1864 by
asking for tax cuts to spur
growth.
With spending increases re-
strained and with the economy
stimulated into a new upswing,
we should be able to reverse
the red ink trend. Otherwise,
the record will continue as dis
NAL as it has been since the
1920s.
