This is the season of "re-
view and outlook" Yet no.
body today really knows the
future Of American business
for even a year ahead. All
that can be of guidance is
what has actually happened
in the past few years, and it
Is evident already that the
Kennedy administration has
decided to ignore the lessons
OF the past and to try again
the same devices that haven't
worked before.
Basically, the present ad-
ministration is often advised
by theorists who sincerely
seek solutions based on eco
nomic factors, but these come
into collision inevitably with
the demands of pressure
groups and politics.
If it weren't for the fact
that politics rules above all
else. there would be grounds
for optimism about the future
OF business. But because poll
tics. with its responsibility
in Government, is the con-
trolling force. the chances are
that more receSsions, more
un ployment and the
"quack" remedies of pump
printing may be expected to
dominate the headlines with
in the next six to 18 months.
Businessmen are supposed
to be hostile" to the admin
istration. Secretary of Com
merce Luther Hodges is run
ming around the country
trying to butter them up.
But, unfortunately, he is re-
garded as a man without any
real influence in the Kennedy
administration. He got in
wrong with many business
men when he virtually
wrecked the Business Ad-
visory Council, which had for
many decades served a useful
function in the Department
OF Commerce. AS a result of
Mr., Hodges private sessions
with businessmen in various
cities in recent weeks, the
United Press International
has just reported as follows:
"On the basis of eight
off-the-record discussions in
seven big cities and other
contacts with businessmen,

Illinois Democrats to Decide This Week
On Candidate to Oppose Dirksen

The choice for a Democrat
ic candidate to oppose Sen
ator .Dirksen, Republican
leader, next year is narrow
ing in the direction of Rep
resentative Sidney Yates of
Chicago. A decision is expect
ed this week.
Mr.. Yates is a New From
tiersman in the real Kennedy
style. He is an intellectual
with a doctorate in jurispru-
dence from the University of
Chicago, and he served 26
months in the Navy during
World War II, emerging as a
a lieutenant. He is a fine
campaigner, trained in a
rough school, and his record
during IL years in the House
suits the administration per-
tectly. e..
He is famed for his wit
and his apparently mex
hauStible fund of stories to
illustrate his points. A Dirk
sen-Yates campaign prob
ably would be the most i'm
portant of all the off-year
races, and it would furnish
lively copy.
The apparent trend toward
Mr.. Yates is among the first
reports from Springfield, ILL.,,

their 1862 slate. Politicians

factors that would upset price
stability, the country has
been aware of an unsolved
problem Of serious proper
tions. Mr.. Kennedy had an
opportunity in his addresses
last month before the Ma
tional Association of Manu-
facturers in New York and
the AFL-CIO in Miami to
come to grips with this very
issue. But he really sides
stepped 1t. The political pit
falls evidently were too risky.
Craftsmanship is more
than ever required. The
country does not expect busi-
nessmen to be hostile" to
the administration and cer-
tainly the administration
should not be hostile" to
business. Yet the news from
Washington regularly tells of
plans that can upset business.
From every side. moreover,
comes the story of the profit
squeeze" in business due to
rising labor costs. The Treas
ury expects a balanced budget
if business thrives. But to
get $40 billion more tax
receipts from business and
individuals in the next fiscal
year and achieve a balanced
budget would seem to be out
of the question if a serious
recession hits the country.
The balance-of-payments
situation is also grave. 1t is
not being aided by reports of
tax measures aimed to re-
strict American enterprises
which have plants overseas
and which are competing eff
fectively with foreign CON-
panieS and also bringing back
huge dividends to the United
States. There are news dis
patches. too, telling of ad-
ministration plans to ask
Congress to give the Presi-
dent the power arbitrarily to
raise or lower taxes in the
United States. Nothing could
be more calculated to fright
en- business and disrupt long
range planning.
Meanwhile, European in
dustry. with its lower wage
costs, is threatening to cut
down Americas export trade.
It's a time for realism as we'll
as craftsmanship.

Yates May Get Senate Bid

publican probability for that
office would be.
Illinois Democrats insist
the Kennedys don't play
that way, an observation with
which insiders agree. Besides,
MI. Kennedy cannot afford
to annoy Mayor Daley; Illi-
nois is too important in 1864.
What Mayor Daley wants,
of course, is a candidate to
help him carry Cook County
with its potent local offices
from which the Daley organi-
zation derives its power. The
Republican suburban vote at
this point just about equals
the Chicago Democratic vote;
hence Mayor Daley's fine
solicitude for Mr.. Stevenson
and Mr.. Yates.
Mr.. Yates owes to a poten-
tial rival, Industrialist Arnold
H. Maremont, some cogent
studies knocking down as
Republican myth" the old
suggestion that there has to
be one "downstate" Senator
from Illinois. Senator Dirk
sens colleague now is Demo-
crat Paul Douglas of Chicago.
Like Mr.. Yates, Mr.. Mare
mont is Jewish. He is a lib
eral employer whose firms do
an annual $135 million busi-
ness, and he is both art
patron and philanthropist. It
is possible that if the Yates
boom fades, Maremont would
inherit.

Powell, who had been an &C

Mayor Daley, the undisputed
boss Of Illinois Democratic
politics, realized he needed
the strongest possible candi-
date against Senator Dirk

preached Adlai Stevenson.
who refused after President
Kennedy insisted upon re-
tanning him as United Ma
tions Ambassador.
Mayor Daley then turned
to Mr.. Yates, on the theory
that In a campaign Mr.. Yates
could handle the fluent and
willy Senate leader. Senator
Dirksen is not what in old
days he was, but he will be
hard to beat, and he has
been assiduously patching his
fences all over the State
since Congress adjourned.
A suggestion widely floated
in Illinois is that President
Kennedy would just as soon
see Senator Dirksen re-
elected because he has been
more flexible as Minority
Leader than any other Re-

The first turnover in Presi-
dent Kennedy's cabinet is in
the making. 1t is the COM
ing departure Of Abraham
Ribicoff, the Secretary Of
Health, Education and We'll

Mr.. Ribicoff-in the highly
probable event that Mr.. Ken

resign this summer to return
to Connecticut and run for
the United States Senate
against the Republican in
cumbent, Senator Prescott
Bush.
The Connecticut Demo-

NK LOSE OR DRAW
Pete RunneIs Belongs
To Willie KeeIer's Era

1T ISN'T UNPRECEDENTED for a
batting champion to be traded before he's
even officially proclaimed as king Yet it
doesn't happen every season, either, which
brings us today to the strange saga of
James Edward Runnels, who is well known
only as Pete.
He led the American League in batting
with 1926, beating out Mickey Mantle, no
less. He also led in 1860 and for five straight
seasons now Pete has hit better than 800.
Yet the Red Sox always were looking for
deal involving Runnels and they finally
made it with the Colts.
Hes as nice fellow as you'd want"
Manager Johnny Pesky said in New York
last week. willing, too. Play him any
where on the field and he'll try to do
job for you. But the reason for trading
him is obvious"
Yes, it is. 1t all can be said in three
little words, lack of power. The ball off
Petes bat doesn't go very far.
RUNNELs BELONGS TO ANOTHER

His best position is first base, although

points, but by having two and

towards him when he got the

That somebody was Christy

ever made in college. He

told he took 20 shots at the
basket and made IL of them,
plus four for four from the
foul line.
Two Of his most important
baskets put the Hoyas out OF
reach. Georgetown was leading
50-46, when the Terps' Connie
Carpenter sliced the margin to
50-48. Then Christy, a 6-foot-1,
165-pounder from Brooklyn, N
Y, sank two straight from the
corner, which almost always
seemed to be unguarded.
After that Maryland couldn't
get any closer than within 3
points Of the Hoyas despite the
fine game played by Bob Eli
cher, the Terps' high scorer
with 81.
It was an exhausting expe.
rience for Christy, even though
satisfying. He played all but

Christy Hot
One of the reasons O'Keefe
is enthusiastic about this
edition of the Hoyas is Jim
Christy, the junior floor leader
who accounted for 26 points as
Georgetown handed Maryland
its second straight loss.
Christy found himself the
forgotten man - forgotten by
the Maryland defenders, that is
- and took advantage Of the
situation. And the reason the
Terps overlooked him was the
presence Of Jim Barry in the
lineup. Barry is the sophomore
flash who scored 20 points In
Georgetown's opener.

cause Maryland concentrated
