BONN.-The lowly chicken
Is now playing a part in

1t appears that the Ameri-
can Chicken Growers Asso-
citation became alarmed when
it learned that American
chickens shipped abToa
(there is a sizeable export of
frozen fowl to Europe were
to pay the same tariffs as
fowl from CZechoSlovakia
and Poland.
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee chairman
was approached on the sub
ject and incidentally made
honorary chairman of the
association. At Senator Full
bright'S request, President
Kennedy wrote a personal
letter to Chancellor Ade-
nauer on the matter. The old
Chancellor readily complied
and instructed the German
representative at the Brussels
Common Market meeting to
save the American chicken
from a tariff cataStrophe.
Unfortunately, the French,
Belgians and Dutch were
less sympathetic and have
kept the matter under dis
cusSion.
Chancellor Adenauer's de-
sire to comply with President
Kennedy's request t to help
American chickens reach
Europe without a higher tar
if payment than those of the
Common Market members
represents an almost pathetic
anxiety Of the Germans, from

Democratic Potys LIBERAL Conservative
Split Blamed for Unstable Conditions


Democrat, Senator Robert s.
Kerr Of Oklahoma, often re-
ferred to as one Of the most
powerful men in the Senate.
He is a fortnight individual
who expresses his convictions
clearly and sticks to them.
He led the fight against the
Presidents legislative propos-
ais on medical care for the
aged. Senator Kerr was asked
on an NBC program, Meet
the Press, whether he and
other members Of the Demo-
cratic Party in Congress were
going to be dictated to from
the White House" He re-
piled:
why certainly we are not
going to be dictated to by the
White House, any more than
the White House is going to
be dictated to by us. No man
in the Senate respects or
loves the President of the
United States any more than
I do. And I shall act on that
basis. But I love the people
Of Oklahoma more than I do
the President of the United
States"
Senator Kerr was also asked
by Richard Wilson Of the
Cowles Publications the fol-
lowing question:
do you feel that it is ap-
propriate for a man who rep
reSents one State to insist
upon his point Of view above
the point Of view Of q man
who is elected by all the peo-
pie of all the States?"
We'll" replied Senator
Kerr. "if a man doesn't
represent the viewpoint Of
his constituents. they will
get rid Of him and send
somebody here. that will.
You know when this Govern
ment was set up and the
Constitution was written, it
was written so that each
State would have two Sena-
tors. And there was a great
divergence of interest at the
time that that Constitution
was written and the first 13
States sent their Representa-
tives here. The divergence Is
even greater today.
But remember this, Mr..
Wilson, that that divergence
Evening star., 1962-08-23

There certainly is a mess
In Washington" these days.
It is due almost entirely to
the fact that the Democratic
Party is split into a radical
- or so-called liberal" -
faction and a conservative
faction.
Actually, the record of re-
cent years shows that a Dem
Ocratic controlled Congress
gets along better with a Re-
publican President who tends
to be conservative than with
a Democratic President. For
the radical wing Of the Dem
ocratic Party produces an
unstable and confusing stu
alton. Claims were made
during the 1860 election cam
paign that, because the Ma
ton had experienced an era
Of divided government" it
would be better to have both
the Legislative and Execu-
tive branches of the Govern
ment in the hands of the
Democrats. But this has not
turned out to be a remedy,
either.
President Eisenhower got
along with the Democratic
majority in Congress because
he had the help of the con-
servative Democratic bloc as
well as the conservative Re-
publican bloc. The biparti-
san coalition which was in
the majority reflected the
conservative mood Of the
country.
The recent filibuster in
Congress was really a revolt
by the radical bloc in the
Democratic Party against its
own leadership. This group
hoped to turn a hesitant
President away from his
natural inclination to take
a more or less conservative
course and to draw him
closer to the radical cause.
But Mr.. Kennedy has had
troubles with the conServa-
tive bloc, too. as on medical
care.

system with a social respon-
sibility is the essential in
gredient of United States
capitalism. A plan which
seeks to picture corporate ex-
ecutives as warm, friendly
fellows may be all right, but
it will be suspect and clasSi-
fled as footing ones own
horn if narrowly presented.
The harsh, inescapable fact
is that the serious damage
done the image of big busi-
ness and the free enterprise
system has not been done by
Marxist enemies, but by busi-
ness itself. Testimony that
the Hanna Co. made profits
of more than 400 per cent;
the general bad aroma of the
surplus stockpiling story; the
Billie Sol Estes scandal; the
flight to Brazil of the big
business operator Gilbert; the
guilty pleas in price fixing by
electrical ompanies; the
illegal slant drilling oil steal"
by oil companies in Texas;
forged allotments by rice
growers in Texas-all these
are relatively recent revela-
tions of either crooked or
highly dubious operations by
those in high places in the
profit, or free enterprise,
system.
The stock piled metals
story has not been dug into
by interested newspapers,
perhaps because it lacked q
figure with the preposterous
name Of Billie Sol. But
enough will be revealed to
leave scars on the body of
free enterprise. A piece Of
legislation designed to store

Behind the Mess in WASHINGTON

between all of the economic
groups in this country and
the sum total Of their welfare
is what makes UP the strength,
the economic progress, the
position, the growth and de-
velopment of this country.
And certainly the Constitu-
ton said, No man shall be
denied the right Of petition to
his Congress- and that means
whether he is a worker, an
employer, a farmer, a truck
er, a railroader, a power man,
an oil man. a manufacturer,
a lawyer, a doctor, or what
ever his business is.
The sum total Of all Of
those economic interests make
up the sum total of America.
And the men in the Congress
represent those various inter-
ests. And God grant that they
always do, because If they
didn't, then you would have
one group of Americans Su-
perior over another, and then
we would cease to be a de-
mocracy and lose the benefits
of a representative form of
government, because, to make
that work, we must represent
all the people in this country"
The foregoing is an accu-
rate statement Of the politi-
cal theory behind congress
sional representation, Its
wisdom will be debated. For
the American system would
be paralyzed if group or
organization pressures were
to dominate the Government.
Too often the pressure
groups are self -centered and
are not willing to listen to
argument about the overall
public interest"
What really has happened
to America is that public in
terest" is often interpreted,
even by a President, as syn
onymous with political in
terest. Party responsibility,
which was emphasized for
decades in American history,
has not been fixed in recent
years because Of rivalry be-
tween factions within a
party. A bipartisan coalition
for more than 80 years now
has controlled a majority in
both houses Of Congress. This
has saved America from
radicalism.

DORIS FLEESON

Can the facts Of the con-
tract which the M. A. Hanna
nickel monopoly made with
the Government during the
shooting war in Korea catch
up to the legend Of George
M. Humphrey, stand-in for
former President Eisenhower
in q political vendetta? Per-
hapS not. since figures -
arithmetical ones, that Is -
notoriously lack sex appeal.
But President Kennedy is
determined to give 1t the old
school try. Admittedly Sem
ator Symington. chairman Of
the subcommittee investigat-
ing the contract, co-operated
with the legend by losing his
temper with Mr.. Humphrey
and summarily ending cur
rent hearings in a furry Of
recriminations.
This explosion stole the
headlines. 1t hurt the Sena-
tor and the Senate. 1t en-
abled Mr.. Humphrey to re-
turn to Cleveland in the full
panoply Of martyrdom.
The President pointed out
to Senator Clair Engle on his
journey to the latter's
California last week that the
facts were still there and
should be put back into focus.
Senator Symington is in a
hospital and Senator Engle,
a subcommittee member, has
obliged handsomely.
In 33 temperate pages,
drawing copiously on the rec
ord, Senator Engle outlined
