White House Accent on Youth

no wrong. the right Is re-
served to criticize freely any
departure from the path Of
simple dignity and stately
decorum.
The White House Is GER
tainly different these days.
Mrs. Kennedy, the First Lady,
scored a hit with a Nation
wide television audience a few
nights ago when she dis
played on the screen the
many antiques and historic
mementos now being ex-
hibited in the Executive
Mansion. 1t was a gratifying
note to strike, because it
proved that the past wasn't
so superfluous after all. In
deed, President Kennedy
himself quoted the inscription
on the National Archives
Building: What is past is
prologue"
In terms of actual votes,
hoWever-aS one enters the
speculative realm of politics
it is a little early to judge
whether all this helps Or
hurts the incumbent admin
stration. For there are voters
among them women-who
would like to hear more
about the family life in the
White House, where for the
first time in many decades
there's a little 1-year-old son
and a 4-year-old daughter.
That story on television could
make more votes than the
antiques did.
The newspapers, Of course.
emphasize Mrs. Kennedy's
trips to New York and Lon
don and Paris and her pro-
jected months journey to
India and Pakistan, but it's
all a part Of the activity of
the younger set which has
taken over the administra-
ton.
When campaigning for the
Presidency in 1860, Mr.. Ken
nedy said a great deal about
getting the Government
moving again." Well, the
travel agencies should be
happy at the example of an
officialdom that is doing a
lot of moving around. Maybe
the old slogan Join the
Navy and see the world"
Should be revised to read,
Away with tired old men,
forget the fallout shelters,
and see the world" Or is the
appropriate euphemism in an
atomic age Eat, drink and
be merry, for tomorrow?

The Kremlin does not al
ways reach its goal on a
specified date. The Berlin is
sue was to have been decided
in 1861, according to its
directives. However, whether
the goal of "liberating" all
colonial possessions" in
1862 is accomplished or not.
the emphasis will be on that
goal.
The area around the
Antilles, linking the Carib-
bean with Venezuela, does
not re m a in unaff e C t e d,

neighbor, British Guiana
which is under a pro-Soviet
leader, is having its troubles
with violent outbreaks, there
is little to defend Trinidad,
French Martinique, etc.
One cannot expect the
countries south of the Dor
der" to rally to the United
States when all can see that
their great northern neighbor
was unable to prevent Cuba
from becoming a Kremlin
stronghold just off the Flor
ida coast.

ical technique, but seldom
has every stage been as OBJ

A hopeful attempt to sty-

on the Presidents Southern

But there are a number OF

We Have a Policy of Victory

sycophants and promoters, to
disseminate doubt on his
policy of strength and his de-
dication to victory for this
and other free peoples is an
outrageously cheap and taw-
dry thing.
The victory to be won will
not be through proclamations
such as Hitler delighted in.
Over and over he pledged a
Reich that would conquer the
world. He was, when defeat
and death came for him,
building at Nuremberg a mas
sive stadium to which the
representatives of captive ma
tions would be brought in
supplication and tribute.
I remember seeing him, the
froth flecking from his lips
in the hot lights which blazed
upon him, promise victory
and victory. Let those who
want to win with slogans Cor
by going to war;, read also
Sheney's Ozymandias. c'My
name is Ozymandias, king of
kings: Look on my works, We
Mighty, and despair!~
Slogans are not enough to
win the cold war and thereby
avoid a nuclear war. There
must be enormous patience.
A willingness to examine the
possibilities of negotiations is
a requirement of victory
without such a war. We can
not fail to remain strong
enough to watch what grows
out of the tensions in the
Communist world.
Victory is composed of
more than slogans and semi
mars. Freedom will win. For
the sake of this and genera
tons to come, we need lead
ership wise and strong enough
to win the cold war without
getting it hot. What a shame
full thing it is to suggest we
do not have a policy of
victory!

Question by Observers in Europe
Called Sometimes Blurred in America

Latin-American countries are
battling internal subversion,
the slogan of independence"
the positive side of the
anti-colonialism coin - has
become stronger each day
among the various Dutch.
French and British posses
SionS.
Jamaica's recent demand
for independence put an end
to Britain's aim to form a
confederate bloc Of the West
Indies within jumping dis
lance of Cuba and the Domi-
nican Republic. This was
followed closely by suspension
of independence plans for
British Guiana amid an out
break of violence.

merit and logic-but not in
an era of Soviet aggression
and subversion. With the
exception of most of the
former French colonial pos
sessions in Africa, many re-
cent independents" have
fallen, or are about to fall,
under Soviet influence and
domination.
Demand for independence
by Jamaica, say some Brit
ish diplomats. begs the
question. 1t is an island Of
1000 square miles and is
million people only 80 miles
from Communist Cuba. To
whom will Jamaica look for
protection? The cold war
battle between CaStro'S
mentor, the Kremlin, and
the United States would
leave independent Jamaica in
a precariouS position. The
only answer can be that the
Jamaicans, approaching Brit
aims inability to look after
them, no longer believe that
the great, good brother to
the north can win this battle
and in the event of a show
down they would prefer to
have no close ties with any
free world nation in the hope
that this position would
permit them to survive. And
this logic is becoming conta-
gious.

A further challenge was
implicit in his calm admis-
sion that the issue was in
politics and would appear in
the campaign this year. A
large segment Of the popula-

a vote against an urban

against putting a Negro in
the cabinet.
It was a case of a people
who are extremely conscious
of their second-class citizen

Informed politicians expect
that Robert c. Weaver will
still be the first Negro in the
cabinet, even If the House
coalition Of Republicans and
Southern Democrats vetoes
the creation Of a Department
Of Urban Affairs and Hous-
ing.
President Kennedy soon
will have a vacancy available
when Secretary Ribicoff of
the Department Of Health,
Education and Welfare re-
turns to Connecticut to seek
election to the Senate next
fall. The same interests and
experience which make DR..
Weaver an effective head Of
the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency are believed to
qualify him for the HEW
post.
Certainly, his value as a
political symbol will be served
as we'll by the one as by the
other; both cover areas of the
Negroes greatest needs.

this Nation. Over and over
again our national leader
ship has made all this quite
plain.
Yet, there are those petty
critics who prefer d daily de-
claration Of victory. They
would, presumably, be con-
tent with a slogan if it were
announced each morning
from the Capitol, much as
the muezzins from their tow
ers call the Muslin faithful
to prayer.
The President of the United
States, his Cabinet, and his
chiefs Of staff have made
clear the purpose and faith
of this Nation. They know
that slogans will not win the
sort of deadly contest in
which we now are engaged.
1t will require more than
threats or promises.
It is a little dismaying that
adults, including some in res
ponsible positions, peddle the
weird propaganda that our
national policy Is not COM
mitted to victory. This is a
reprehensible and dishonest
piece of propaganda. 1t ap-
parently seeks to reflect on
the President, the Cabinet, a
heavy majority of the Con-
gress, and the people.
No normal viewpoint can
fail to see that the welfare of
all the American people is
first in the mind of the Presi-
dent. He, and he alone, has
final responsibility. His whole

dent), vowed the 100 guests
until morning. Jacqueline
Kennedy, who danced almost
every dance, withdrew and
retired at 3 am. But the

peared from time to time for
consultations in his private
apartment upstairs with some
of his own officials present,
kept it going until 5 am.
when he went to say good
night to his guests. :.
LAS usual, Lester Lanin and
his orchestra played in their
red coats. Lester, who Is
humbled and thrilled to be
the one invited to play each
time, gives a better picture
than anybody of the atmos-
phere at these black tie presi-
Dental parties. Here he de-
scribes it in his own words:
"They are as cheerful and
as gay and as dignified a
party as you will find from
coast to coast. Everybody is
having fun but everyone is
dignified. The White House
walters all say they have
never seen such beautiful
parties there.
Everybody Is on his gooc
behavior, but he (the PRESIDENT

not dance often and he does
not hold them close. He
talks when he dances, and he
only dances a couple of min
utes, then he takes another
partner later"
Certainly, they must have
"a good time" and it may
depend on the age of the citi-
zen observer as to whether he
or she would care to do the
same. In fact, there are some
people in America who still
cling to the monarchial con-

Life. Is surely different
these days in Washington
at the White House and in
Government circles, that is.
Each citizen will have to be
the judge of whether it is
better or worse as compared
to what has been the custom
heretofore. For now there
certainly is an accent on
youth.
Before Bobby Kennedy set
out on his tour of the world
which has included rope
skipping with Japanese chill
dren and exchanging barbs
with Indonesian students
he said his journey was in

would that the United States
lis not run by a tired and
old government"
Something of the same
impression is conveyed by
the all-night parties they
have in the White House. Joe
Tumulty, President Wilson's
private secretary, used to say
that he regularly read the
women's pages of the WASH
tngton newspapers because
1T was the only way to find
out what was really going
on" Maybe, therefore, an
excerpt from the pen of

she tells the exciting news
that a modified form of the

Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy
with none other than the
Secretary Of Defense, Robert
s. Mcnamara. At last, in
other words, the twist gap"
