60 to the Senate-and he has
declined to be snunted aside
to run for Governor. an Of
flee he might have sought
and won two years ago. He
has announced that he is @
candidate for the senatorial
nomination and declared he
will fight for it-even to en-
tering the September pri-
mary should it become neces-
sary. Mr.. Kennedy made O
similar declaration in his
television appearance. and at
the same time admitted that
it looked like q tough fight.
Unless the Kennedys or the
McCormacks weaken, the po-
litical fur is likely to fly in
Massachusetts.
Not Embarrassing President
Much has been written
about the embarrassment
which has been, or will be,
caused President Kennedy by
the insistence Of his young
est brother on entering the
race for Senator. The Presi-
dent has given no sign Of
such embarrassment. On the
contrary, he has given Ed
ward (Teddy) opportunities
to get himself known and
liked, sending him on mis-
sions abroad. Furthermore,
it is q question whether Ed
wards race for the Senate
win or lose-will prove an
embarrassment to the Presi-
dent. If the youngest Ken
needy should lose the Senate
race, either to Mr.. McCor-
mack or later to q Republic
can opponent, would it really
lessen the popularity and
prestige Of the President, as
has been predicted? Such a
loss undoubtedly would cause
the President personal regret,
for the Kennedy family is
a closely knit clan. But that
it would lessen President
Kennedy's chances for re-
election in 1864 is a vastly
different thing.
If the country remains at
peace and there is no eco
nomic recession, Mr.. Kennedy
will be in strong position to
win a second term in the
White House. It would not
be a defeat for young Ken
needy in a Massachusetts SEN
ate race that would change
the balance. What might
hurt President Kennedy's
chances would be the loss of
a material number of Senate
and House seats by the Dem
ocrats in the coming election.
Though, even that is not
sure. Former President Eisen-
hover demonstrated that q
popular Chief Executive can
carry the country while the
opposition party is carrying
the Congress.
Other families prominent
in American politics have
produced brothers who served
simultaneously in high public
office. The late Senator Rob-
ert LaFollette and his brother
Gov. Philip La Follette both
sons of old Fighting Bob La
Toilette, Senator and Cover
nor-are prominent examples.
Another pair Of brothers who
held office are former Sena-
tor and United States Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge
Of Massachusetts, and former
Gov. John Lodge Of Con-
necticut, grandsons Of the
first Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. It does not appear,
however, that any family, ex-
cept the Kennedys, has had
three brothers so prominent
ly in the political ring at one
time. George Lodge, son Of
former Ambassador Lodge, is
seeking the Republican sena-
torial nomination to run
against Mr.. Kennedy-or Mr..
Mccormack.

THE POLITICAL MILL
The Brothers Kennedy
By GOULD LINCOLN

Once again, the Kennedy
flair for public service and
politics has come to the fore.
Edward M. Kennedy, the
youngest Of the three Ken
nedy brothers - (the others
are President of the United
States and Attorney GeneraD
on Sunday gave the people
Of Massachusetts, and of the
Nation at large an oppor-
tunity to see him and hear
him via television, on MICS
program Meet the Press"
What they saw and heard
was a young man confident
that he Is pursuing the right
course - he will tomorrow
make formal announcement
Of his candidacy for Presi-
dent Kennedy's old seat in
the Senate-with confidence
in himself. They saw and
heard, too, perhaps the most
personally attractive of all
three brothers. They heard
him answer - and parry -
tough questions propounded
to him, with the skill of a
veteran politician, although
he is just 80 years old-the
constitutional age limitation
for a Senator Of the United
States.
Mr.. Kennedy spoke in jus
LITIGATION Of his ambition to
become a Senator, and he
did a good job. He declined
to admit that his candidacy
for the Senate was a move
to establish a Kennedy dy-
nasty" in the American gov
eminent and laughed off O
suggestion that he was pre-
pairing to become q presi-
Dental candidate in the fu-
ture. He refused to say, too,
that he would be the Presi-
dents candidate. He insisted
that if he won the senatorial
nomination he would be, not
a Kennedy candidate, but
the candidate of the Demo-
cratic Party. And he insist
ed that as a Senator, he could
do much for Massachusetts
and its problems, and also
that he was in harmony with
the programs of his brother,
the President, and could help
to put them through as a
member Of the Senate.
The School Aid Issue
One question he did not
answer fully - a question
that may become Of vital i'm
portance In his expected race
for the senatorial nomina-
tion-was his stand on Fed
eral aid to public schools, to
parochial and other private
schools. He left it in doubt
whether he would vote, as
Senator. for aid to parochial
schools in a bill providing
general aid to public schools,
or whether he would go along
with his brother, the Presi-
dent, who has taken the po-
sition that such aid would
be unconstitutional. Mr.. Ken
nedy's opponent for the sena-
torial nomination Is State
Attorney General Edward Nc
Cormack, nephew of Speaker
John Mccormack, SO years
old and, like Mr.. Kennedy,
an attractive figure. Mr.. Nc
Cormack has gone on record
as favoring aid to parochial
schools along with the public
schools. Young Kennedy, did,
however, say that he thought
there were various ways of
granting Federal aid to paro-
chial schools which would be
constitutional. Should he be
forced into a primary cleo
ton for the nomination
against Mr.. Mccormack, he
will have to make himself a
lot clearer on this subject.
Mr.. Mccormack has had
two terms as attorney gen.
eral. His ambition has been to

Court Hears Dispute
On Falls Church Vote

RICHMOND, April II (AP) =.
The case of the disputed bond
issue approved by Falls Church
voters in the presidential elec-
ton of 1860 was argued before
the Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals yesterday.
Counsel for the Falls Church
Taxpayers League which seeks
to block the $1.2 million bond
issue contended that a majority
of landowners didn't approve
the indebtedness as required.
Counsel also argued that the
bond proposal was an improper
catch-all of unrelated improve
ment projects.
The bond issue as proposed by
city council for ratification by
the voters covered improve
mentS to schools, sewers and
city streets. The taxpayers
league appealed the result to
the circuit court but lost there
and then obtained a hearing
before the high court.
The election results showed
LOTS landowners voted for the
bond issue and l,010 voted
against it. At issue was a total
of 201 landowner votes which
were cast in the presidential
election but did not show in the
returns on the bond issue.
Falls Church city attorney
lLaRue Van Meter argued that
the council was acting within
provisions of the city charter
in presenting a bond referen-
dunn covering improvements in
several fields. He said the
matter before the voters was
approval or rejection of the
ordinance adopted by council
rather than to decide for or
against the individual improve
ment projects.

ChevyChose
Park Tract
Use Debated

Whether 80 acres of wood
land should be handed over to
apartment dwellers was debated
last night by citizens and
builders of Chevy Chase.
The wooded area, known as
the Bergdoll tract, came up al
a hearing before the Montgom-
cry County Planners on their
preliminary master plan for
West Chevy Chase. Some IT'S
persons attended.
Located west of Wisconsin
avenue in the town of Somer-
set, the tract is owned by Com
munity Builders, Inc, which
proposes to build luxury apart
ments covering all but five
acres.
In the master plan, seven
acres of the tract are set aside
to be developed as apartments
with the rest to be purchased as
parkland.
The citizens Of Somerset,
however, want to preserve as
much of the wooded area as
possible as a park and are will
ling to pay for it.
Mayor Warren Jay Vinton
told the planners Somerset
would raise 40 per cent of the
cost of acquiring the land and
the Federal Government, under
last years Housing Act, might
pay in as much as 80 per cent
James C. Wilkes Of Com
munity Builders questioned the
Somerset citizens figures.
The cost Of the land, valued
at $4,000 an acre, would be
we'll beyond what they had
anticipated, he said.
Mayor Vinton indicating the
towns reluctance, said never
theless Somerset was prepared
to acquiesce" in a development
of five acres, if the planners
so decided.
He was supported by the
County Federation of Citizens
Associations, the League oi
Women Voters and the Friend
ship Heights Resident Home
Owners Association.
But the Friendship Heights
Citizens Association, taking ar
every-group-for- Itself position
favored placing some of the
apartments planned for its
area in the Bergdoll tract oi
Somerset. In its resolution
Somerset had supported the
c on tie ntions of Friendship
Heights citizens.
