John Kennedy After Two Years

elected, 1t was averred by
opponents that he would not
be able to grapple with ma
tional and international
problems because he was
youthful and inexperienced.
They were right about the
inexperience, but they were
wrong in evaluating his
youthfulness as a handicap.
Mr.. Kennedy has boundless
energy, and this is a big asset
to a President Of the United
States, who must work long
hours and travel about a
great deal both in this coun-
try and abroad.
Mr.. Kennedy has learned a
lot in two years. But Con-
gress and. especially, the OPP
position party have failed the
Nation. The country has not
learned enough about the
critical condition Of the Gov
ernment't finances or the
truth about our military
advice before the fiasco in
Cuba in 1861. The power to
investigate and expose the
way in which special privi-
leges are given to favored
groups has not been fully
exercised. Nor have the
economic dangers of the
labor-union monopoly been
faced by the White House or
Congress. These barriers can
restrain the forward march
Of American business and
prevent the creation Of jobs
for the millions who annually
come Of working age
We can extol the Peace
Corps idea. for instance, and
talk Of retraining the unem-
ployed and Of other political
panaceas. But until Presi-
dent Kennedy becomes con-
vinced that he must assume
the leadership in removing
the shackles now imposed on
our economic progress by the
Government itself-through
its inaction in certain fields
and over-regulation in others
there can be less hope Of
attaining the goals so glow
ingly promised by the admin
istration.

Some months ago I dropped
into a Neutrality-suspicious.
class In the journalism school
Of a famous northern uni
versity. The professor opened
his lecture by asserting that
a news story should first
properly identify the persons
about whom 1t was concerned.
Who" said the professor,
is important. Fair enough.
A sound thought, II not
shockingly original.
Then to my astonishment
we proceeded to get no fur
ther. For the next 48 min
utes the obvious was be-
labored and gradually beaten
to a pulp. Names must be
spelled correctly. Middle in
itials must, If possible, be
included, Identifying occu-
pations and addresses must
be accurate. Etc, etc.
AS the hour dragged on the
pretty goods surreptitiously
repaired their manicures be-
hind their open textbooks
and the male students stared
out the window or snored
honestly. 1t was awful.
The horrible suspicion be-
gan to dawn that this was
only the first Of a series of
five lectures. For the other
four classic ingredients of a
news story are what" why"
when" and where" The
professor had apparently per-
suaded his dean to let him
stretch into a semester
course about half a dozen
hours to genuine informa-
ton, which a tough city
editor could have compressed
into two minutes Of yelling.
Here were these youngsters
wasting part of their four
precious undergraduate years
wandering in a Sahara Of
knowledge. 1t made you want
to call the cops to put the
arm on the professor for
larceny.
This is not a knock against
the majority Of college
courses. Heaven knows, many
are tougher than saddle
leather and brilliantly taught.
But I also remember a
news editing" class in a
California college in which a
professor who obviously
couldn't hold a job on a
neighborhood shopper bor-
rowed reams Of telegraph
copy from the local news
paper and had the class
spending hours marking the
obvious paragraphs and un-
derlining the capital letters.
Perhaps the greatest haven
for baloney courses is found
in our teachers colleges. I
recall a high school teacher
Of geography who marked a
student down for failing to

But Inexperience Has Shown

v
stantly of the truth about its
national and international
problems, irrespective Of
whether the feelings of the
man in the White House
might for the moment be
hurt by criticisms in the
press.
But what kind Of President
is Mr., Kennedy really max
ing? Detailed reviews would
seem to be superfluous, as
the record has been pre-
sented and analyzed from
day to day. The most salient
point to be mentioned Is that
the image the President him
self has been giving the
country by his skillful pub
licity during the past two
years is somewhat different
from what 1t really appears
TO be here in Washington.
Mr.. Kennedy has been
handicapped in his first two
years by engaging in the
same kind Of experimental
ton that some Of his prede-
cessors have attempted in
their first term. He has
brought to his side advisers
inexperienced and unframed
in Government, and has
failed to come to grips with
the problem Of organizing
the White House itself. 1t
is a sorry system which per-
mits a President to be sur
rounded by so many aca-
demic persons who have no
direct responsibility to the
people through the confir-
nation process in the Senate.
The cabinet in the last two
years has been shunted to
one side. Who is really Sec
retary of State now and who
actually makes foreign policy
currently? Who Is really
determining our economic
and fiscal policies7 Mr.. Ken
nedy tries to make all the
final decisions himself, but
it Is on the basis Of what his
inexperienced advisers tell
him, and he is, Of course, in
fluenced to no small extent
by his political instincts.
Mr.. Kennedy probably will
be a much better President
in the next two years than
in his first two. For he pre-
sumably will have learned
many Of the lessons so es-
ESSENTIAL to an effective ad-
ministration. He has an agile
mind, q remarkably good
memory, q pleasing person.
ality and, above all, a GER
tain inner restraint against
radicalism that bears him in
good stead.
Much Is being said about
Mr.. Kennedy's prowess as a
politician and how skillfully
he dispenSes political favors.
He knows the way to organ
ize a campaign and to build
a machine. But it isn't ap-
parent yet whether he can
sense and anticipate those
political trends and over
whelming currents Of dis
content, a disregard Of which
has caused so many election
defeats in the past.
Before Mr.. Kennedy was

Since it was just two years
ago when President Kennedy
was inaugurated, this is per-
haps the time for an exuber-
ant review or an "agonizing
reappraisal" or a disinter-
eSted and dispassionate look
at his administration. The
category will be judged by
the reader. For however i'm
partial the critic tries 70 be,
the dyed-in- the-wool sup
porters Of the administration

gests that maybe Mr.. Ken

leader we have had since

In writing from the Ma

Floyd Says
Liston Held To
Return Fight
By Pact

Yonkers, N. Y. - Dethroned
heavyweight champion Floyd
Patterson, who has been in Sc
clusion since losing the title to
Sonny Liston in Chicago last
Sept. rs, returned here last week
to spend the Christmas and New
Years Day holidays with his
family expressing confidence
he'll get a return title bout
with Liston in March or April.
Scoffing at reports that Lis
ton may pass him up to fight
either Harold Johnson or Inge-
mar Johansson, Patterson said:
"In spite of all the stories
about my return fight with Son.
ny, the fact remains that Sonny
and l have a solid contract for
a return match.
Sonny wants the return fight
wants to keep his word. And l
want it because that's the only
way can win back my cham
pionship."
Until recently, Patterson, who
has been training secretly, was
virtually silent about the return
bout.

The two clubs presented an
interesting contrast in style.
Bishop employed a deliberate

Health Hints
ARTHRITIS
By: The Rural Health Council
OF Alabama

OF Alabama
Editors Note: Following is
another in a series of articles
dealing briefly with a wide
range of common health prob
lens, pepared by a physician
especially for rural readers
through the Rural Health Coun-
Gil of Alabama.)
Arthritis in its various forms
is Americas greatest crippler
The causes are largely unknown
and there is no known cure.
Some types of arthritis come
and go, get worse and then get
better. Why this happens isn't
understood, but we know that
it does happen.
Don't be misled by claims OF
"cures" such as fancy diets,
patent medicines, trick ma
chimes, or oils to "lubricate body
joints" Some patent medicines
may give temporary relief, but
they do not cure; they merely
ease the pain.
The two major types of the
disease are rheumatoid arthritis
and osteoarthritis.
Symptoms of rheumatoid ar
thrills are a gradual onset of
loss of appetite and weight; ia
tigue, generalized muscle weak
ness and morning stiffness; ach-
ing, pain, and swelling in the
joints. When this happens SEE
YOUR DOCTOR. Don't neglect
these signs. Prompt and proper
treatment may prevent or re-
duce later cippling and deform-
ity.
Osteoarthritis usually occurs
in older people. Symptoms are
stiffness, aching, pain in the
back, hips, knees and fingers
tingling of hands. Again SEE
YOUR DOCTOR. Joint damage
may be hidden. Proper treatment
can do much to alleviate pain
and prevent or minimize disa-
bility.
The important thing about
dealing with arthritis is: Don't
try to treat it yourself. You will
save much suffering, time, and
money by following your doc
tors advice about medicines and
other treatment, and by steering
clear of claimed cures.
Many research scientists all
over the nation are working to
try to find the causes and cures
of arthritis. Studies proceed
under the guidance of voluntary
health agencies such as the. Ar
thitis and Rheumatism Founda-
tion and The National Founda-
ton. Federal government re-
search in this area is extensive.
The researchers have uncov-
cred promising leads that may
someday bring concrete results.
Until that time, arthritis will
continue to be a major crippler.

Dick Hall and Ted Grainge, the two-man collection team currently conducting a membership drive for the Greater Soldotna Cham Der of Commerce, report great progress. Hall is an area banker and Grainge is operator of build ing supply firm.
 The two men left the Chamber meeting prior to it's conclusion last Saturday to begin the house. toulouse calls upon business firms in the Soldotna area. In less than six hours, they had collected over $1,000 in membership dues. They reported fl paid-up memberships for 1863, plus five other committ- ments, and all the places had not been contacted at that time.
 Prior to embarking on the task, 1t had been announced at the meeting that there were 92 busi- ness licenses within the city limits of Soldotna and only 27 of those businesses had joined the Cham Der this year.
 The sget-out-and-get- 'em" tech nique, displayed by Grainge and Hall, is expected to garner quite a number of additional dollars to be used by the Chamber in pro- moting this years Progress Days activities in July.
