Are Main Issues Out of Focus?

the American Government
must undergo some kind of
self-imposed lockjaw while
Moscow's press and radio
continue to scare the Russian
people into thinking the
United States and the West
are really planning a nuclear
war.
Sooner or later, the United
States Government will have
to take a leaf out of the his
tory books which tell of
Woodrow Wilson's famous
crusade for International
freedom. His words echoed
and re-echoed throughout the
world, and, while he received
a warm welcome abroad by
street crowds, his speeches
were directed at the intelli-
gent people of all nations
rather than to the emotions
Of cheering masses in those
countries which already were
on the side Of freedom and
democracy.
The problems raised by
negotiations seeking a nu-
clear-test ban, or by the
American effort to develop
among the Western allies a
multi nuclear d I e n e
mechanism, or by the obses-
sions of independent-minded
leaders like De Gaulle, or by
the wobbly governments of
Britain and Italy, immersed
as they are in their internal
politics, will not be solved
by each ally going its separ-
ate way.
Unity depends solely on one
issue laid squarely before the
world - whether the peoples
behind the Iron Curtain can
be persuaded not to risk the
chance of suicide as they
acquieSce in the acts of rulers
who have proved themselves
faithless and irresponsible
ever since the close Of World
War II. It's this issue that
needs intensive and unre-
hitting support by the Presi-
dent of the United States.
When this viewpoint is ar
ticulated firmly and I'M
equivocally again and again
in resounding form through
out the world, the internal
weaknesses and alterations
of the Western alliance will
gradually be superseded by
a unity of purpose which the
Soviet people themselves
must some day decide in
their own interest to en-
brace.

GoIdwoter Urged Not to Be Coy

Senator Goldwater may want
to consider. Mr.. Kennedy,
whether as Senator or as
President, has always sur
rounded himself with a re-
markably gifted staff of adj
visers and assistants. They
have been eager to work for
him because of their deep and
abiding admiration for his
knowledge, his eloquence end
his power Of leadership.
Senator Goldwater, of
course, has men of ability on
his staff who have served him
with faithful distinction. But
the advisers needed by a ma
tional leader, seeking the ul-
innate prize of the preSi-
dency, must be rather differ
ent from the advisers availa-
BILE to a powerful s ena tor,
making his reputation as the
interpreter of a special kind
of Republicanism. Has Sena-
tor Goldwater sufficiently
considered this point?
There is nothing strange in
urging Senator Goldwater to
That career is a model in
the art of political organiza-
ton. Nor can Senator Gold
water think the advice is
tainted, since he may be the
Republican candidate whom
the President should find 1t
comparatively easy to defeat.
The truth is very different.
Senator Goldwater, already a
great force in national af-
fairs, is destined to exert still
wider influence. He should
prepare himself for this ex-
banded role, should Stop be-
ing so coy about the Repub-
lican nomination, and should
go after 1t with resolute
frankneSS.

from planeside Dulles to the airport bus ter

longer than from planeside Friendship.
Friendship is closer to downtown Balti-

miles from Dulles to Baltimore.
Friendship handled all jet travel for both
cities for over three years. And it is capable
of handling three to four times that volume!
is Dulles less expensive for airlines to
use? On the contrary, it costs airlines up to
three times as much to use Dulles.

MAX FREEDMAN

Senator Barry Goldwater
may not like to say it, but
in at least one important
sense his strategy is follow
ling the example Of Senator
John Kennedy in the race for
the presidential nomination
in 1860.
Very early in the drive for
the nomination it became OBJ
'vious that many Democrats
felt that Mr.. Kennedy could
never win the election
because he was a Catholic.
Today many Republicans are
saying Senator Goldwater
can never carry the country
because he is too con-
sentative.
Faced with this challenge,
Senator Kennedy made ef-
fective use of a memorandum
showing that the Importance
of the Catholic issue had
been grossly misunderstood.
In a similar way the sup
porters of Senator Gold
water now are circulating a
memorandum which seeks to
prove that his conservative
record will gain enough
strength in the South, the
Midwest and the Far West
to give him the victory re-
gardless of what happens to
him in the big Eastern States.
There the similarity ends.
The shadow of AL Smith fell
across Senator Kennedy's
path, but the nomination of
Senator Goldwater would be
a leap into the unknown. The
differences between AL
Smiths treatment of the re-
ligious issue in 1928 and Sen
ator Kennedy's response to
the same problem in 1860 can
be illustrated by a compare
son between Smiths speech
at Oklahoma City and Ken
nedy's speech in Houston.
Both were noble utterances,
but the Smith speech failed
to draw the venom from the
religious controversy, where
as Senator Kennedy's appeal
went a long way towards rut-
ting the religious issue out Of
politics.
Despite his endless speeches,
many of them wholly ad-
mirable, Senator Goldwater
has yet to speak with equal
candor about his conservative
philosophy. The country has
ret co receive a detailed and
precise account of exactly
what Senator Goldwater in
tends to conserve and what
ne intends to repeal.
Senator Kennedy wanted
The nomination and went
after It. BY contrast Senator
Goldwater has adopted. the
graceful pose Of waiting on
destiny. He would be wise to
learn the difference, before 1t
is too late, between history
and histrionics.
o. He can impress the coun-
try by imposing himself on
the Republican Party as its
effective leader, but there
will be no call from the coun-
try so strong and command
ing that he will au.omati-
ically be trusted with the
party leadership. He must. in
short, compel leadership be-
fore he can be seen to de-
serve il. That is the disagreea-
able way of politics,
1t is being said now that
the primary contacts in Wis
consin and west Virginia
were blessings to Senator
Kennedy. This Judgment, in
retrospect, may we'll be true.

Kennedy's Race for 80 Nomination
Seen Holding Lessons for Senator

out it certainly never looked
20 at the time of these bruis-
ing BATTLES. What Senator
Goldwater should understand
is that Senator Kennedy
would have found ways of
testing land revealing his
popularity in various States
even if no one else had en-
tered the primary against
him. The lesson should be
plain for Senator Goldwater
when Republican aspirantS
are painfully unwilling to ac-
cept the hazards of the pri-
marieS.
AS Senator Kennedy's cam
paign for the nomination
gathered momentum, he went
beyond his assured positions
of strength and measured his
power in the home territory
of his rivals and opponents.
1t is safe to say that Sena-
tor Kennedy would n ever
have gained the nomination
if he had let it be known to
the party that he had written
off large sections of the
country as unresponsive to
his appeal. When will Senator
Goldwater agree to test his
strength in Ohio and Michi-
gan, in New York and Penn
sylvania, in California and
Illinois? Even in the scales Of
conservatism, the weight of
these States must still be
very significant. Why should
the Republicans pick Senator
Goldwater If he makes little
effort to tilt these scales in
his favor?
There is another lesson in
Mr.. Kennedy's career that
