Getting Personal With President

imsginings about Woodrow
Wilson.
But this much. at least.
could be said Of those remote
reflections on the White
House occupant: they were
confined TO the beauty par
lorS. the bars. the clubs and
the drawing rooms. They
were not made the currency
Of political celebrations CT
the birthday Of q national
hero.
Take. for example. the
performance Of Miss Ethel
Norman who came to Wash
ington at her own expense to
sing for the former Presi-
dent. She sang an electrify-
ing medley Of her many hit
songs. including Anything
Goes" What could be more
natural than for Senator
Scott to seize upon the title
Of this song as the White
House motto In the Kennedy
administration? Such was the
burlesque house nature Of the
Republican wit and humor.
There is news for the Re-
publican leaders. Recently q
columnist praised President
Kennedy for his effort to
maintain q good family life
for his wife and young chill
dren under the very difficult
conditions Of being President
Of the United States.
Scores Of people wrote to
the columnist from every
where in the country, and the
letters ran l0-to-1 in Presi-
dent Kennedy's favor. This
was weeks ago and he IL still
receiving letters. A good
guess is that the personal
issue against the Kennedys
is as profitless as it is boor-
iSh.

MAX FREEDMAN
His Elevation Is Viewed as on Exercise
In the Power of the Prime Minister

The chief lesson Of recent
events in London Il that the
British Prime Minister, un-
like an American President,
has almost unlimited power
in choosing his successor.
Disabled and sick. Mr.. Mac
milan could still impose his
wishes on a divided party.
These vast powers have al
ways been available to q
Prime Minister In this cen
tury. But 1t took the ruthless
skill Of Mr.. Macmillan in an
emergency to make them
visible TO everyone.
In reality. there never was
any alternative to Mr.. Mac
millan's plan. unless disaster
was to be regarded as an
alternative. For every stage.
Of the crisis he was in con-
troll Of events. There was no
national convention for MIN
to dominate before his choice
could become effective. He
simply had to stand fast and
his preference would inevita-
bly, prevail.
Once he had decided on
Lord Home. the Conservative
Party could mutiny only at
the risk Of suicide. If the
quarrelling rivals failed to
accept his choice, and re-
fused to serve under Lord
Home in Q new cabinet, Mr..
Macmillan had one dreaded
power still in reserve. For he
could advise Queen Elizabeth
to dissolve Parliament and
call for q new election.
What can. the Queen do in
such circumstances? She is
required to pay the utmost
respect TO this advice. She
can ignore 1t or go against it

thorizes $l.s billion in con-
struction aid over o five

During the last two years,
however. Federal aid to edu-
cation has been blocked in

Aid for Church-AffiIiuted Schools

United States, in q case
known as Massachusetts, VS..
Mellon, had decided several
years ago that the Federal
Government couldn't be sued
by o taxpayer on o question
Of Federal appropriations.
That's why . permissive
statute now Il deemed nec-
esSary II there IL to be Q
settlement Of the issues that
have arisen about Federal
aid to church-related insti-
tutions.
The amendment proposed
by Senator Ervln-co-spon-
sored by Senator John Sher-
man Cooper. Republican Of
Kentucky-will have to win
the approval Of the con-
ferees Of the House of Rep
resentatives. which passed o
bill without any similar pro-
vision. Already there are pre-
dictions Of q lengthy hassle
on the subject. But there are
good reasons for letting the
provisions Of the amendment
be tried out. For It means
that bills providing Federal
aid to education to institu-
tons which are not connected
In any way with q church
will have smooth sailing in
Congress and will not be
blocked by the perennial de-
mand that something be done
to remove the discrimination
against church-connected
colleges in their teaching Of
science and other non-reli-
gious subjects.
II, however, the amendment
Is dropped out of the pro-
posed law. it seems likely
that Senators and Represen-
tatives from areas where
there is q public demand for
help for church-connected
colleges will find themselves
being presSured to block
Federal aid altogether till
some compromise Is reached.
That's why the Erwin
amendment looks like q solu-
ton that will remove the
principal obstacle to Federal
aid to education by letting
the courts quickly dispose Of
the issue of the constitu-
tionality Of such aid to
church-operated schools and
colleges. It's much better to
provide . way to find out
promptly what Is constitu-
tional than to let Congress
become stalled year after
year on Its aid to the States
In constructing new build
ings for educational pur-
poses.
