States. too-now impends.
It involves an effort in
Congress to force the

money on the BIO bomber

either necessary or wise.
The antagonists in this
ill-starred affair are Demo-

The reluctance Of Congress
to do anything for the Ameri-
can people this election year
is rapidly approaching the
proportions Of q political
phenomenon.
A business that broke no
new ground in two years and
brought out no eye-catching
product to captivate the
customers would certainly be
in trouble. Yet Congress can
find nothing in the legion of
Kennedy proposals in the
domestic field which it feels
might endear it to the voters
next November.
A campaign pointing with
pride to what Congress has
kept the President from doing
seems in prospect, at least
in the areas represented by
members of the no-saying
conservative coalition. 1t
hears no evil. speaks no evil
and sees no evil in the az
fluent society.
To point out that the az
fluent society brings new
national problems in its train
not to mention the advent
of the space age with which
it coincides-is only to state
the obvious. Congress seems
to be acting on the theory
that If it doesn't look. they
will 90 away.
Curiously. this is not &C
companied by q resurgence
of isolationism. In the area
Of foreign policy. world COM
naunism and its leader, Mos
COW, have made o truly stag
gering mistake. Perhaps out
of their own fear, they per-
sist in creating fear. So long
as they do that, Appropria-
lions for defense. foreign aid
and the United Nations are
not in serious trouble.
In some defense categorieS,
Congress wants to spend
more money than the Presi-
dent does. 1t complains Of
foreign aid and Is snarling at
o United Nations bond issue.
But 1t has absolutely no EVIL
dence that the public does
not support the President in
these matters; the evidence
is all the other way, so these
can be worked out.
Americans look to the
President as leader in for
eign policy. He gets the
credit and blame in that
field. Congressional CO.
operation can be very vital.

Subject of Inefficiency in Government

ton, advertising, labelling or
other practices" But why
hasn't the Government itself
been efficient in this field?
Mr.. Kennedy gives the i'm
preston that all these abuses
have just begun to happen
and that nothing has been
done about them heretofore.
He doesn't mention that the
Pure Food and Drug Act has
been on the statute books for
decades and that the Fed
eral Trade Commission over
the past half-century has
been charged by Congress
with specific responsibility
for taking action on these

ers' money has already gone

the President blaming every
thing now on the absence
Of laws to deal with these
abuses?

highways. has nothing ever
been done by auto manu-
facturers to try to assure
safety for auto drivers, or
by those States and cities
that issue licenses to drivers
and conduct periodic inspec-

dent seems to think that

but the message was really
significant, not for what it
contained. but for what it
omitted. The President said
In one Of the opening para
graphs:
Fortunate as we are, we
nevertheless cannot afford

more than we can afford IN

eminent"
But nowhere in the essay
was there anything said in
explanation Of the 'ineffi-
cheney in Government" The
message used up nine long
pages in single-spaced type
writing and dealt with every
thing from alleged misrep-
reservations in advertising Of
foods and drugs to the kind
Of lipstick or hair dye that
women are misled into buy
ing.
It would seem that some
how consideration now should
be given to "A Message from

For in the many thousands
Of words in the Presidents

wasn't q single sentence tell

Nelson Rockefeller Focuses on 49,

BY ISABELLE SHELTON
Star Staff Writer

New York Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller focused deter
minedly on 1862 last night,
resisting all attempts to get
him into a discussion about
the 1864 presidential race.
Focus" was a word he
fancied, in fact. as he politely
fielded attempts to link him
with the White House or the
presidency. for which he is
one of the leading G. o. P.
1864 contenders.
"I'll settle for being re-
elected Governor Of New
York by a big margin" he
told Representative Ayres Of
Ohio, who had said to the
room at large, This guy
ought to be President"
Bonnie Angelo, president
Of the Women's National
Press Club, which was hon.
oring him with a reception,
introduced him by noting
that '"The White House looks
at him with interest" He
replied:
"Sixty-two is the year we
are focusing on. We want to
stay focused"
Tours Grounds
When relating how, earlier
in the afternoon, he had
visited his Foxhall road
house (where he entertained
New York'S Republican con-
greSsional delegation last
night at dinner) he said:
1T looked great. I walked
all around the grounds. I
like that house. But until
I get reelected I won't spend
much time there"
On most subjects, the Gov
ernor was genial and out
going. He found some area

lands this summer.
