BeIoted Act of Gratitude

House Armed Services Com
mittee submitted by Repre-
sentative Rivers to the House,
a detailed account of Cen
eral MacArthur's record was
given from the time he grad
uated from West Point in
1908 at the head Of his class.
He was the son Of 1t. Gen.
Arthur Macarthur, who also
had a distinguished military
career.
This correspondent, along
with other newSmen covering
the War Department early
in 1917. thought Douglas
Macarthur, then a major,
was one Of the most brilliant
public relations officers the
Government had ever had
and expressed professional
regret when he suddenly an
nounced that he was apply
ing for overseas duty. Newton
D. Baker, Secretary of War in
the Wilson administration.
said to his news conference:
Watch that young man.
He'll be a general soon. and
some day he will be chief of
staff Of the Army"
The prophecy came true.
Mai. Macarthur was wounded
in the war and, as COM
mander of an infantry brigade,
won a string Of medals for
his bravery in action. Later
he did become chief Of staff
of the United States Army.
What he did in hberating the
Philippines from the Japan
csc in 1915, together with his
remarkable service in the
Korean War, are events re-
cent enough for most people
in this country to recall.
It does seem unfortunate,
however, that a political in
cident has caused such a long
delay in giving full recogni-
ton to a brave man who
performed a brilliant service
for his country in many
command posts. At last the
record has been set straight,
and, fortunately. this comes
during the lifetime of the
82-year-old veteran, who said
in his farewell address to
Congress in 1851: "Old SOL
diers never die-they Just
fade away"
Congress apparently is not
willing that in official his
tory the memory of what
Douglas Macarthur did for
his country should fade away
but wants it to remain in
stead an enduring example of
devotion to the Nations
service.

Rejects Kennedy's Welfare Measures
But Backs His Eoreian Policy Ideas

proved - with Senate ap-
proval still to come - a
strong world trade measure
which involves perhaps the
most important legislative
achievement since the Sec
ond World War.
1t is against all this back
ground that this Congress
must be measured. Has it
really been an Unexpectedly
obstructive and difficult Con-
gress, as some of the PreSi-
dents liberal advisers keep
insisting, in their disappoint-
ment at the rejection Of well
farist measures? No. In
stead, it has really been just
the kind of Congress that
should have been foreseen all
along.
1t has been moderate
minded, middle-o f-the-road
in political complexion and
cooperative toward the Pres
ident on the great survival
issues but on little else.
If Congress has very often
checked the President on
proposed domestic innova-
tionS, it has-to the great
credit Of the minority Re-
publicans-given him high
bipartisan support on cold
war matters.
The only puzzling thing is
why anybody ever supposed
that it would be any other
kind of Congress than it has
been. Mr.. Kennedy himself,
after all, ran an essentially
moderate campaign in 1860.
1t was not wildly liberal
anymore than Richard
Nixon's was wildly "conServ-
ative."
The people, in narrowly
electing Mr.. Kennedy, spoke
in tones Of moderation. For
in choosing him, as only a
moderately liberal man, they

WILLIAM S. WHITE
MiddIe-of-the-Rood Congress

chose a Congress which was
moderately conservative.
Nothing In that election
and nothing since has sug-
gested that the people want
domestic reforms and inno-
vations so much as they
want strong leadership
against the Soviet menace.
This CongreSs-both the
Democratic and Republican
sides of it-has helped to
give them that leadership by
its bipartisan support, in
this area, Of the President.
There never was the
slightest reason to suppose
that Congress would come
charging in here to dupli-
cate the New Deal of the
Thirties in a decade, the Six
JleS, Wnere the true national
problem is not depression
but rather the oppressive
danger of international
communism.
And those who lament the
failure of this or that re-
form measure in Congress
should comfort themselves a
bit. The time has not been
ripe for them. For this is
an hour in history in which
Congress had preferred, and
rightly so, to do what is abb
solutely necessary at the
expense Of what is not real
ly necessary but rather only
desirable-and even desir-
able only in a debatable
way.

Two more really big legis-
lative decisions - and two
only - may be expected of
this Congress no matter how
late into the fall its session
may struggle on.
Con gress will decide
whether the economic out
look justifies a tax cut to
stimulate business. And Con-
greSs will complete action on
the historic bill to grant Pres
ident Kennedy unexampled
authority to lower tariffs in
order to associate this Nation
with the new world of trade
arising from the European
Common Market.
1t is curiouSly fitting that
the remaining real program
of this Congress as it draws
toward the close should be
confined to such hard prac-
ticalities. From the beginning
the tone of the session has
been to grant the President
most Of what he has wanted
in foreign policy. and to some
extent in economic policy,
but to deny to him most Of
what he has asked in the
field Of welfare legislation.
And that tone is being
maintained to the end. Dead,
for Illustration, are the
Presidents requests for a
Federal Department of Ur-
ban Affairs, for a new med
ical plan, and for large-scale
Federal aid to public educa-
ton.
Very much alive, however,
is his foreign aid program,
and very much alive is his
world trade program. Con-
gress has Just sent to the
White House a very good
foreign aid bill which will
strengthen the Presidents
hand in the cold war. And

ASHEvILLE, N. Cit had
been q long day on rutted
dirt roads up from Rabun
Gap, Ca, along the skirt of
the southern Appalachians.
The month was March, the
year 1884, and until noon the
cool mistS had hung low
along the slopes. There had
been the flat tire near the
village of Clayton and the
blunder up q logging road
near Murphy. There weren't
any road signs.
But 1t was an exciting trip
for a cub reporter from Ok
lahoma, for here was the
home Of the Real Mountain
GERS. Sure enough, the slap
sided cabins chung crafty to
the rare clearings. A stop
for road directions would
bring a pack Of yellow
hounds baying to the gate,
followed by a tall man in
denims or a calicoed woman
who searched your face. The
directions were infinitely CIV
en- with great detail to fords
and forks, but they rarely
went beyond the next settle
ment. Beyond that was the
Great Outside, in which
many had little interest and
less of knowledge.
There had been the strange
lunch Of ham, red-eye gravy,
green's and hominy at the
little eatery in Bryson City.
And then in the early after
noon the clouds parted and
broad shafts of light picked
out hay, tumbled peaks to
the west. These were the
Great Smokes, the widest,
most inaccessible, most beau
tiful uplift in Eastern Ameri-
ca. And there was no road
across them.
Yesterday I looked down on
the Great Smokes in the 40
minutes that now separates
the ong-porticoed air ter
minal of Knoxville from the
glaSs-and- chromium airport
of Asheville. Along the north
shore of Douglas Lake
(Which wasn't there at all in
1880 bulldozers had cut yell
low gaSheS in the land in
preparation for Interstate 40.
The new four-lane road down
through Sevierville was
jammed with cars.
AND here was Gatlinburg,
once the quaintest Of noun
tain towns, where Shifty
farmers used to purchase
long lengths of copper tubing
for unspecified purposed.
Well, last year I had lunch
at HOBBIES Copper Still Res
taurant in Gatlinburg.
From the plane you could
see that the hotel parking
lots were full and the chair
lift up the mountain was full,
too. You could see tn e
Honey Bee Shop and the
Wishing Well Gift Center and
the Christus Biblical Gardens.
And quick as a flash you
cruised over the acres of mo-
tells and there was q. S. AL
as it wound through the
woods up toward Newfound
Gap and the big circular
concrete ramp that now
crowns Clingman's Dome. Ev-
cry mile or two you'd see a
big traffic jam on the road,
and you knew what that
meant-people feeding bears.
So here I am, sitting in my
hotel room in Asheville, over
looking the downtown ex-
pressway flanked by tea
shoppes, flintlock factories
