President Kennedy appears
to be the best air-conditioned
man in Washington these days.
While the political wind
blows hot from Capitol Hill,
This is the first article in five
port series opproisins the Kennedy
administration as il approaches the
mid-term elections.
Mr.. Kennedy looks cool. He
sits in his rocking chair,
crunching the ice from a soft
drink, slowly smoking a thin
cigar, examining the record as
he approaches mid-paSSage in
his first term in the White
House. There are no visible
cracks in his marble calm.
True, he flared up recently
at least for television-after
the Senate killed a bill pro-
viding health assistance for the
aged. Before the Senate vote,
however, he knew ''medicare"
stood little or no chance of
passing the House this year.
So now Mr.. Kennedy has it
as an issue in the November
elections. He expects to use it
effectively.
Kennedy Optimistic
On other key measures, too,
as conservative members Of his
own party sided with the re-
markably unified Republicans,
Congress has been road-block-
ing the President. It shelved
his farm bill, the general
school aid bill, his several re-
quests for standby powers, and
a department of Urban Affairs.
But if he feels frustrated, he
doesn't show it. He talks opti-
mistically. He says the record
looks pretty good now and,
hopefully, will be better by the
time Congress adiourns.
He bases this on the outlook
for several pending bills that
he considers supremely impor-
tant.
One is the Trade Expansion
Act. 1t arms the President with

AFTER HE HAD RIDDEN his last race
OF the day. Sellers showered and put on a
quiet, dark blue suit that made him look

is word-miser, especially on the topic of
Garry Back.
Ihere still were couple of races on
the card and Johnny wanted to watch
them from the clubhouse while he talked
reluctantly.

took me off," Sellers said. "I had no
inkling, but it's his horse to do with as he
likes"
After Garry Back had finished third
in the New Orleans Derby the agent for
Ycaza, acting on a hunch, telephoned
Price. IF you're thinking of making a
jockey change" he told Jack, my boy is
available" Price, who had made no de-
ciSion, thought it over and called back to
accept YcaEa.
In the % times that Johnny rode
Garry Back he won II races, nine of them

wanly smiled. "Ten per cent of the

AS the fates would have it, Joi1nny's
path to the upper clubhouse took him past

Garry Backs feats in 81. There was a
large picture of Sellers and the colt nosing
out Bill Hartack on Crozier in the Florida
Derby. There was another of horse and
rider in the winners circle, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Price holding the reins.
There was the gold Garden State Tro-
ply, the silver Remsen, the gold-and-silver
Everglades, the filigreed PreaknesS, the
ornate Flamingo trophies. Sellers stopped,
as if he'd never seen them, and drank in
the display with sober face.

ahead, "the horses are in the gate" Slowly,
Sellers tore himself away from the show
