ficiently educated to under

of the drift away from, rather

more of a drift toward world
anarchy.
The big Western powers
themselves-the United States,
Great Britain and France

a formula for getting alon;

The worldwide contest,
called the "cold war" is 60

Temporarily at least, the
policy of the West is to
strengthen its military posi-

Richard BisseII Takes the Ran

My small salute to the de-
parting Richard Bissell Is not
intended to say that he did
not make mistakes in his
recommendations for the
Cuban action. Nor is 1t in
tended to suggest even that
in the hard, tough game of
public affairs he should not
have had to pay the price Of
error.
1t is intended, however,
to pay a left-handed compli-
ment to the highly effective
nature Of the whispering
campaign by leak which
other bureaucrats so gladly
and quickly loosed against
the one man who had no
means-or taste-to answer
back.
And, finally, it is intended
to raise a most melancholy
point: Bissell, whatever his
mistakes, was one bureaucrat
who was repeatedly willing to
risk mistakes - to risk his
whole future, as in Cuba-in
order actually to do some
thing. Bureaucracy tends to
play it safe. and let George
do it-and take the rap. Bis
sci played it dangerous, and
let Richard do it-and take
the rap.
1t hardly overstates the
matter, does it, to suggest
that it seems a pity that
when the ghost does walk
among the bureaucrats. hand
ing out the spectral blue slips
of dismissal, it walks so often
among the men Of decision
and of courage-and of taste?

DAVID LAWRENCE

A look around the world
today causes many a person
to remark that things have
never seemed so troubled
as If something new in the
way of human friction has
been introduced.
But actually the world has
seen much more troublesome
times, and it has struggled
for centuries with the very
same conflicts of purpose and
ambition. Indeed, impotence
for a quick solution is in
itself not novel.
Even as far back as the
1905 the car of the Rus
sian Empire was talking
about disarmament and pro-
posing international agree
ments. AS for wars and
threats of wars, these have
been almost constant.
What is most controversial
in this country today per-
haps is the direction and
purpose of American policies
toward the rest of the world.
There are plenty of people in
the United States - some
times called "isolationists"
who oversimplify the pre-
sent situation by regarding
it as a forerunner of world
government. This is really
at the root of their antipathy
to the United Nations.
But if ever there was a
time when national sover-
eighty, independence and
self-determination were i'm
printed on the minds of peo-
pie everywhere, it is today.
The truth is that the pres
sure upon the United Ma
lions to develop some for
mula for preserving order in
the world is not by any
means a trend toward world
government, but really a
desperate effort to find some
way to keep sovereign ma
tons from impairing the in
dependence and autonomy
of each other in countries
large and small.
The fact that a vote is
given in the U. N. General
Assembly to every nation that
calls itself independent, even
though its people or it's lead
ers may be by no means suf-

pect affects the President

tends to impair the image
of his courage and steadfast-
ness on that issue in the face
Of the different view held
by his church.
This is the point at which
an underdog in the Senate
race - State Attorney Cen
eral Edward Mccormack,
nephew and protege of the
Speaker of the House - has
already moved into the pic
ture with lethal effect.

cratic Senate nomination,

Trend Away From One World

in the Congo, in Southeast
Asia, or in Europe itself-is
largely a grab for national
resources by groups inside
and outside each area. An
altruistic concept, euphemis-
tically called an Alliance for
Progress" is supposed to WOO
and win Latin America. but
it is becoming there more
and more an instrument of
internal politics and material
iStic preSSures. A similar bait
is held out to the new nations
of Africa. UnqueStionably all
the underdeveloped countries
need financial and technical
help. When have they not
needed such aid?
But today the rivalry be-
tween Moscow and Washing
ton-each side offering help
as a sort of bribe-preSentS
a new kind of struggle. Ma
terialiStic factors designed to
gain the support of the small
er countries have superseded
any thought of waiting for
the evolution of Self-reliance.
Morality has a hard time ex-
erting its influence in inter-
national affairs. There is
today not just the absence of
an international formula di-
rected by the conscience of
man, but also a lack of mo-
rality in the politics of au-
tonomous nations themselves.
The governing aut hority
nowadays ranges from vari-
Gus forms of dictatorship
and tyrannical autocracy to
the So-called systems of
democracy wherein the poll
ticians too often still control
or seek to dominate the ma
tional economy.
One can become saddened,
moreover, by the trend to-
ward more and more un-
morality in our own politics.
Elections in free America too
often are contests between
political machines, organiza-
tons and selfish pressure
groups which seek to outdo
each other in confusing. if

The churches have never
had a bigger attendance than
they have today. But an &C
ceptance of common honesty
and moral force in the world
has never seemed to be more
acutely needed.

Brother in Massachusetts Campaign
Seen Causing Problems for Kennedy

In cooperation with tele-
vision, the muddled and dy-
nastic politics of Massachu-
sets is producing an odd
kind of arm's-length Ken
nedy-Nixon debate.
Edward (Teddy) Kennedy,
the Presidents 30-year-old
brother, has explained on
Meet the Press" why he
ought to have the Presidents
old Senate seat for the next
six years. Next Sunday, Re
publican George Lodge will
do the same for himself on
the same program.
Mr.. Lodge is the son of the
former Senator and U. N.
Ambassador, Henry Cabot
Lodge, from whom John F.
Kennedy wreSted the same
Senate seat in 1852. It is
the first try of Edward Ken
needy and George Lodge for
elective office. Both have
held appointive public posts
as a result of family influ-
ence, Mr.. Lodge here and Mr..
Kennedy in Boston.
Their campaigns will be
deeply affected by the i'm
preston they make person.
ally. They are talking for
themselves and are forced to
handle some explosive issues.
These issues are the dy-
nastic question, the Presi-
dents proposal for Federal
aid to public education only
and the widespread corrup-
ton being shown to exist
in both their parties.
President Kennedy is

and parochial schools, but
as Senator would vote for
only public aid If it seemed
that was all he could get.
This is the challenge direct
to Teddy Kennedy in the
heart of Catholic Boston,
vital to Democrats.
The President is not push
ing the Federal aid to public
education issue. The shape
it is taking, and is bound to
take, in his brothers cam
paign cannot but injure him.
Incidentally, Edward Nc

Finger of Blame Too Easily Pointed
At One Involved in Cuban Fiosco

deathless information were
themselves wholly blameless.
They, of course, had opposes
it all along.
From their standpoint the
fall guy was we'll chosen. For
Richard Bissell, apart from
the natural personal reserve
of a desperately shy man, was
an old-fashioned professional
in government who knew
that civil servants at his level
were supposed to keep their
minds open and their mouths
shut. They were intended to
be advisers to superiors, not
press contact men for them
selves.
Moreover, BisSell'S own par
ticular job enjoined silence
upon him in a special way.
For he was a Highland up to
this point a highly anonymous
official doing the most
hush-hush sort of work in
the Central Intelligence
Agency. In a word, he would
not have defended himself by
counter-leaks if he could, be-
ing the kind of man he is, and
he could not have even if he
would.
John F. Kennedy himself
sought no scapegoats for the
failure in Cuba, rightly real
izing that this action had
been approved by the Presi-
dent of the United States and
that the responsibility of
that person can be shared
by no one. Lesser people with
in the administration, how
ever, were not so generous.
ScapegoatS had to be found;
and so BiSSell was there to
fill the bill.
Thus, recently, his resig-
nation was announced-and
along with this, his appoint
ment as executive vice presi-
dent of the Institute for De-
Tense Analyses, a university
supported group which is
seeking to assist this Gov

You buy the necessary items you

you had planned to wrap gifts and
he said, "oh, oh, is that big box

is Santa Claus going to come in

for Christmas and so you take
your packages home, and the next
day you get out your Christmas
wrapping paper, ribbons and cards.
AS you start to sort the gifts
out and begin wrapping them fam
lily by family, to your horror, you
suddenly remember your grand
children asked you to give them
ALL Of the Christmas wrappings,
etc. that you didn't use. That was
last year!
AS you looked through your
boxes, you found paper and cards
for the gifts but not a foot Of
ribbon did you find. Having young

at noon, you hasten to get the car
out and decide to run" downtown
and get some ribbon and you say

At that time you were saved
for the time being when the five
year old was called to eat his
lunch. You really spent the next
half hour trying to figure a way
to tell him about the gifts and
Santa Claus.
In a few minutes his little feet
came flying up the stairs and he
asked you so many questions you
simply told him you were one Of
Santa's helpers because he had so
many places to visit he needed a
great many helpers and to his
next dozen questions you told him
he might get one Of the gifts he
saw and he might not. That was
up to Santa Claus.
You told him he must not men
ton anything you had told him
just now because Santa Claus
liked to surprise little boys and
girls. Happy because he and I
shared a secret, he said he wouldn't t
say a word.
1t has been a week since the
day he and I made our pact, and
so far he has not mentioned Santa
Claus. am wondering if he is
smarter than I think and is letting
me wonder just how much he
knows!
Before I could hardly put the
paper back in the typewriter my
little five year old told me, "Wil-
liam told me there wasn't any

was because you are his helper!
I didn't tell him about the pres

Lord, let me keep Christmas heart,
That mid the tumult of the throng,
Still hears the echo, clear and sweet,
OF Angels song!
Lord, let me keep a Christmas heart,
That hears and sees another's need,
And strives each day to follow Thee
In word and deed!
Lord, let me keep a Christmas heart,
To light with joy the children's eyes,
And know the Christ Child, though he come
In humble gllise!
So may know the joy within
The wise men, coming from afar

They saw Thy star!
So may I keep Thy birthday, Lord!
