The picnic table served sew

More than so plainclothes-
men were called in to help
the small local force.
Two policemen will be sta
toned around the clock atop
the 100-foot bell tower of San
Pantaleo Cathedral overlook
ing Mrs. Kennedy's villa.
But Paolo Caruso, head Of
Ravello's tourist bureau, fears
the tight security will dash
the hopes Of the 16 children
who have been practicing
their Tarantella for the past
week.
IF all these police restric-
lions are applied" he said,
"our children won't be able
to do the dance. And that
would be a real pity for
them"
Aside from the welcome
signs and the dance, the resi-
dents of Ravello, have
planned no other celebration
for Mrs. Kennedy.
But, of course, there will
be cheers" said Mr.. Caruso.
Mrs. Kennedy is very kind
and one of the most beauti-
full women in the world. Why
shouldn't the Ravellesi cheer
her when she arrives?"

That one thing is aspirin. Specifically, aspirin.

I attempted to make the point
at Yale that we had SURPRISES
in the last three years after
the war-rather large budget
surpluses-and still had very
sharp initiation. We had had
deficits in 1858 and in 1862,
and that there had been stable
price levels. The largest deficit
was in 1958-$12.5 billion.
The point I am trying to
make is that what we must be
concerned about is trying to
maintain the vitality Of our
economy. and that the admin
istrative budget, which Is the
budget people talk about, Is not
wholly revealing of the amount
of money that the Government
takes in.
II the administrative budget
we're balanced. the Federal
Government would be taking In
about 81 billion more than it
was spending on the cash
budget side. These are all
rather complicated subjects,
because Of the trust funds and
all the rest. That has q
deflationary impact on our
economy.
Now, we have to realize that
we had q recession in 1858 and
a recession in 1860. We do not
want to run through this coun-
try, which is-on which so
much depends-which Is the
source of strength Of the free
world. We do not want to, run
into periods Of recurrent recess
sion.
One Of the ways which has
been considered to avoid this
is by following q budget policy
which is related to the economy
and not related to what I
called rather formal traditional
positions, which may not be
applicable to the present time.
I thought the experience Of
Europe, which has had q de-
cade Of unequalled progress,
partly because they have man
aged their economy with some
skill, partly because they are
in a different period Of growth,
partly because Of the Common
Market, that it had some
lessons for us.

I cannot believe that any
body thinks that in order to

some political benefit, it would
be a source of pleasure to them
to see the stock market go
down or see the economy have
difficulties. I don't believe that
anyone who looks at our prob

possibly take that partisan at
So I don't accept that
view.
I know that when things
don't go we'll, they like to
blame the Presidents, and that
is one of the things which
Presidents are paid for.
But I think what we want
to be concerned about, as 1
have said before. is not the
personal dialogue, as much as
a dialogue on the problem of
what tax policies, and what
budget policies-fiscal policies
we should pursue, because If
It were merely a matter of the
party or personalities, we
would not have had our expert
