Why
Old?
BY Josephine LoRman

NhegiSter ana Tribune SynoicateD
Discipline is one of the
main ingredients for success
in anything you undertake"
says movie, stage and TV
actress Celeste Holm.
Discipline is the ability to
be on time, to sacrifice things
you might want to do for
things you have to do, to say,
I'm going to do it today
not tomorrow or next week,
but today"
We have all read about
some of the prima donnas of
the movies and the theater
and may have gained the
impression that actors and
actresses are very flighty
folks, irresponsible and tenn
peramental.
However, Miss Holm says
that this is not so, except
for a few to whom acting
is merely a way to make
money and build up their
ego.
Celeste Holm continues, II
think this applies to most
peoples work. A certain
amount. of discipline is
needed to get the job done.
Most businesses would fire an
antagonistic worker but the
entertainment field seems to
coddle them. The real stars,
however, the real top actors
and actresses of the theater
and movies are usually a joy
to work with"
Miss Holm remarks that
anyone who is out to become
a top star should be made
aware that the higher you
go the harder it gets, not
easier! With the compensa-
tions Of admiration and &C
claim also come tremendous
responsibility for the success
of a play. the choosing of
the correct play. the narrow
ing down of roles to only the
important ones and the in
creased difficulty of having
a private life.
All of this applies to ev-
eryone and to every endeavor.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Today's word game is de-
signed to test your ability to
recognize adjectives similar to
one another in meaning. Be-
low you will find two groups
of ten words each. The first
group is numbered /, 2, 8. etc.
The second group is lettered
A. B. C, etc.
For each word in the first
group you will find a word of
almost the same meaning (syn-
onyn) in the second group.
Thus the word numbered /
may mean practically the same
as the word lettered F. Write
this down as IF. When you
have all the answers, check
against the correct pairings at
the bottom.
Note: Score 10 for each
correct answer. If you score

Politics.:
Faster Pace

The November political cam
paigns increased I'm pace with
the entry Of President Kennedy
into more active role.
Five weeks from next Tuesday
will be election day. In nom
Presidential years the big ques-
ton is whether the party in power
win win or lose seats in Con-
gress. This year, however. excep-
tionally interesting personal con-
tests have caught the ,public's eye.
One of them-in Massachusetts
may draw the active Intervention
Of President Kennedy himself.
The President, undisputedly q
good party man. turned his at
tention to the bigger question of
congressional seats. The Demo-
cratic National Chairman an
nounced on Thursday that an
old-fashioned political swing next
week end viii take Mr.. Kennedy
into four pivotal States: Ken
lucky. Ohio, Michigan and Min
nesota. Other weekend expedi-
tions will take him to other parts
of the country before the end of
the month.
The Presidents first barn
storming trip was a somewhat
sentimental journey to West Vir-
ginia. It was there that MIR. Ken
nedy won a vitally important pri-
mary victory when he was seeking
the nomination in 1860. On
Thursday night he went to Whee-
Evening star., 1962-09-30

The Democrats are hoping that
rising taxes and increasing gov
ernment costs will win votes in
the upstate areas. Mr.. Morgen-
thau is stressing the civil rights
of minority groups to capture the
Negro vote which went to Mr..
Rockefeller in the last election.
Other issues raised by the Demo-
Gratis are increased State aid to
school districts and malappor-
tionment of the State legislature
in favor of the rural areas.
On Friday, Mr.. Morgenthau
called on the President, who
promised to make two campaign
trips to New York in support Of
the Democratic ticket. MIR. Ken
nedy will speak In New York City
and an upstate city. probably
Buffalo.
Former President Eisenhower
has previously committed himself
to at least one campaign appear
ance in the State.
The big question this year,
however, is whether the Cover
'nor's margin can be held to
100000 votes.

THE NATIONAL SCENE

Another political document
that has raised q row came from
New York State. There q conf
Dental memorandum went out to
Republican leaders supplying
them with information to play
down the idea that Gov. Rocke-
feller is a liberal.
The idea was that when coun-
ty chairmen meet people who
think the Governor is too lib
eral' they would have informa-
ton to prove he's really very con-
servative. It set forth 20 fiscal
and business moves in support of
this thesis.
The memorandum then con-
tanned this unhappily worde d
tribute to expediency:
at must be used cautiously and
should not be published because
we do not want to emphasize the
conservative side so much that
we lose some other votes"
The Governor said he had not
known about it. I'm what I am, !"
he said, 81 am not confidentially
this or that"

Some Failures

In the rejoicing over progress
made on legislation there were
some sad notes heard about
things that wouldn't come about
this session:
COLLEGE AIDA dispute over
the religious angle of United
States aid to colleges killed the
administrations effort to provide
student loan funds and building
construction funds.
YOUTH ENPLOYMENT-This
bill which would have created a
youth conservation corps and an
urban service corps for jobless
youth was sponsored by a group
of liberal Democrats in the House
but they failed to get it out of
the Rules Committee.
MASS TRANSIT-A bill to pro-
vide Federal aid for mass trans
portation systems was also in the
Rules Committee.

Body Presented
With all due respect for the
distinguished groups and individ-
uals brought together for Capital
District planning, a mass meeting
of experts does not produce an
integrated plan. Some official re-
ports have been dull, vague,
cheaply printed and lacking in
the persuasive presentation which
is indispensable If the compre-
hension and support Of the aver
age citizen are sought. On some
maps the present and future
roads look like odds and ends
Of threads in a work basket or
like ball of writhing angle

brochure is very small in the

Teddy's Technique

The speculation over whether
the President would go into Mas
sachusetts to campaign for his
youngest brother who is seeking
a Senate seat continued. Edward
M. Kennedy and his Republican
rival, George Cabot Lodge, con-
tinued an active week of speech
making and hand-shaking.
MIR. Kennedy, whose impressive
Democratic primary victory made
him the favorite at this stage,
hewed close to the Kennedy CAM
paign technique of maximum of
personal appearances and mini
mum Of really controversial talk.
The Kennedy-Lodge campaign
remained polite during the week.
The two engaged in a strictly
kid-gloves debate before an audi
ence of businessmen. Both agreed
that tax cut should be delayed
until next year but parted ways
when the subject turned to the
Presidents treatment of the steel
industry. Mr.. Kennedy ignored

finger on the basic problem.
More often than not" Sena-
tor jackson wrote, poor deci-
sions are traceable not to ma
chinery but to people - to their
inexperience, their failure to COM

to their indecisiveneSs or lack of
wisdom"
That would certainly apply to
the Agriculture Department in
the handling of the Estes case.
Up to q certain point the case
was handled with commendable
force. There was q full-scale in
vestigation of Estes and his cotton
allotment deals. Acting on the
findings of that investigation,
Horace D. Godfrey, chief Of the
Agriculture Sterilization and Con-
servation Service, cancelled his
allotments with the concurrence
of other officials.
Things began to fall apart as
far as sound administration was
concerned with the meeting last
January 6 In Undersecretary
Murphy's office. Then for reasons
in dispute, political or otherwise,
the cancellation was suspended.
Somehow the case became in
volved in bureaucratic shuffling.
Long delays ensued. Various sug-
gestions were put forward to solve
the cotton allotment program
which critics contend would have
benefited Billie Sol in the long
run.
LegoI Niceties
In seeking to explain away
their actions, or lack of action
responsible Agriculture officials
have dwelt heavily on legal nice
ties. There was o question Of
whether Estes received this or
that department ruling and some
officials said they were concerned
then, and even now, with whether
they could make the cancellation
Of the allotments stick II it went
to the courts.
Hardly any one questions now
that Estes was seeking to obtain
cotton allotments through a
scheme and device which the de-
partment had ruled illegal. It
would be refreshing IL the record
of the protracted Senate hea-ings
revealed just one official who
stood up and said while the
matter was being considered: $50
be 1tl Wen do what we think
should be DONE" But, alas. II
doesn't.
There was silent acquiescence
and more. Even after Billie Sol
was arrested some officials were
considering q proposal which pos
sibly could have been used by
Estes as a precedent for retain
ing his 3,l23 acres of cotton al
lotments.
All of this underscores Secre-
tary Freeman's task in revitaliz-
ing the department. It involve;
more than organizational prob
lens. It involves the whole prob
lem of decision-making and some
means of escaping the deadeninl
inertia of bureaucracy.
