Gen. Els e n no Wer, IL Is
commonly said, could defeat
President Kennedy in 1864 If
he were constitutionally
qualified to run a again. As
matters are now going. how
ever, Gen. Eisenhower may
play a part in re-electing Mr..
Kennedy. however much the
General would wish to do
otherwise.
For the former President is
creating the impression that
he is not now. and probably
will not be, heart and soul
for the most likely Republi-
can presidential nominee in
1864. OF course. it is too ear
ly to say that Senator Gold
water will be nominated, but
political leaders seem to
agree that the present odds
favor It.
Unfortunately for Senator
Goldwater, the whole trend
Of Gen. Eisenhower's public
discussions in his effort to
help the Republican cause
serves chiefly to raise ques-
tons about the Senator's
qualifications.
This is a familiar condition
for those who have followed
Gen. Eisenhower's political
career. A shadow of doubt
always fell upon his conf
dence in his once most likely
successor, Richard M. Nixon.
Whenever the former Presi-
dent was questioned about
Mr.. Nixon, what he said and
the way he said it was usual
ly subject to some shade Of
adverse construction. The
words would not come out Of
the General in a wholly con-
vincing way.
In retrospect, it can be
seen that Gen. Eisenhower
wanted to get rid Of Mr.. Nix
on as the vic e-presidential
nominee in 1856; it is hard
to interpret events in any
other way, whatever the
General may have said about
it, then or since. Not even in
1860, when 1t was clear that
Mr.. Nixon would be the
Republican presidential
nominee, could Gen. Eisen-
hover dispel the impression
that he held secret reserva-
lions.
This played a part in the

Impression of Generals Dissatisfaction
With GoIdwoter Seen in Statements

presidential election Of 1860.
It was a mixed situation,
with Mr.. Nixon not wishing
to appear as a hand-picked
Eisenhower protege; and. on
the other hand, the question
was continually un der dis
cusSion Of the depth Of the
Generals support Of Mr.. Nix
on. The net effect was a Nix
on d eta chime emit from the
most popular Republican
President in history.
With his usual political
sensitivity, John F. Kennedy
understood this condition
and understands 1t now. Mr..
Kennedy comprehends tn at
however much Gen. Eisen-
hover may profess his Repub-
licanism. in the strict party
sense, the real role of the
General Is bipartisan. He
could have been nominated
IN 1852 as either a Republi-
can or q Democrat. and he
was supported, and still is
supported, by both Republi-
cans and Democrats.
Therefore, whenever the
former President speaks Ill Of
him, Mr.. Kennedy turns the
other chez Elk. Furthermore,
whenever he can do so In
good conscience, Mr.. Kenne-
dy identifies his interests
with the Generals.
Nothing would serve Mr..
Kennedy's political interests
better than to have a linger-
ing doubt hang over the cleo
ton Of 1854 on Gen. Eisen-
hower's confidence in the
Republican presidential
nominee.
And. it is Just the shadow
of this doubt which Gen. Ell
senhower is b 81 inning to
create by his attitude on the
1864 nominee. For example,
why would he wish to discuss
in public, even hypothetical
ly. the far-out constitutional
question Of whether he, as a
former two-te President
might run for Vice President
within the meaning Of the
Twenty-second Amendment
Such discussion inevitably
creates the impression that
the Republican presidential
nominee would be too weak

and flour to the Communist
countries and the Berlin wall

Adenauer, the critical Ameri-
can Senators and Represen-
tatives are not being hypo-
critical in suggesting t heir
own political con ditions.
They are merely being futile.
For their dem a nds would
leave the situation in Cuba
absolutely unchanged while
American wheat would con-
tinue to pile up in our stor-
age bins. We would be left
holding both our conditions

Richard Nixon has COM
pared the wheat sale with
the disastrous mistake Of the
Cuba invasion. If that is to
be the measure Of his wis
dom, it is a pity that he has
chosen to emerge from his
self-imposed retirement. Mr..
Nixon's hysteria finds no
echo in the prudent observa-
tions Of Gen. Eisenhower
who thinks trade m alters
can be discussed in quiet eco
nomic terms.
But many Americans ap-
parently do not agree with
Gen. Eisenhower. They think
it is sinful to feed the wicked
Russian Communists with

What effect does Gen. e.

this be a nd what ways will
Mr.. Kennedy find to remind
voters of Gen. Eisenhower's

This would all be very well,
and few politicians " on ! d

Presidents purpose were to
prevent the nomination Of
Senator Goldwater. But Gen.
Eisenhower says this is not
his purpose.
And so, once again in that
beloved fuzzy way of his. Gen.
Eisenhower, the great bipar-
tisan, introduces elements Of
doubt on where he really

thereby creating a vacuum in
authority which could be
filled only by Federal force.
This, In turn-if 1t Is to be
faced squarely-would re-
quire creation Of q national
police force. This is a step
which Is historically, and
with good reason, abhorrent
to our Federal system. I am
sure all members Of the COM
mittee would be opposed to
such a drastic development
unless all means of dealing
with the underlying injus-
tees fail"
The subcommittee has also
proposed the establishment
Of a fair employment prac-
tees commission and would
give wide authority to such q
body. But in asmuc h as a
measure Of this kind would
have to regulate the opera
lions of labor unions. 1t is
apparent that the admin
istration sees trouble ahead.
The Attorney General said:
AT the same time, I recog-
nize that there are some ex-
perienced members Of Con-
gress who feel that the inclu-
sion Of this provision in the
omnibus bill could make it
more difficult to secure q
rule from the Rules Commit
tee and could even jeopardize
ultimate passage Of the ON
nibus bill"
Unquestionably. Mr.. Ken
nedy is aware that opposition
to the bill has been mounting
and that this might mean its
defeat. As a practical step,
therefore, he has been urging
that the provisions whic h
have raised most Of the pro-
test should be eliminated or
modified. This is the custo-
mary tactic in Congress in
trying to get legislation
enacted on a compromise ba-
sis. But all the proponents Of
the legislation, particularly
those who have been leading
street demonstrations, m a y
not understand the nicetieS
of legislative procedure.
That's what sets up a real
dilemma for the administra-
ton.

Common Sense on Wheat Deal

paying for It. II that argu-
ment has any merit at all, 1t
means that the United States
should have q complete en-
barge on trade with Russia
as 1t now has with China. Or
1t would make no sense to
forbid the sale Of food to
Russia during It's period Of
shortage while encouraging
more general trade with the
Soviet Union. We would be
able to persuade not a single
industrial nation to join Us
in this Russian boycott. We
would simply be giving our
own trading opportunities to
other n nations, and would
hurt ourselves without injur-
ing Russia.
1t Is a misfortune that the
Kennedy administration has
failed to present its case on
the wheat deal with the
frankness and lack Of decep-
tive rhetoric that marks its
explanation Of the test-ban
treaty. The administration
has contributed to the bitter
ness and confusion Of the
public d b a tie by its own
statements on this sale, with
their exaggerated and often
sentimental overtones. TIL e
central truth is that the
wheat deal is not as impor-
tant as its supporters claim
nor as bad as its critics fear,
and 1t certainly can be ex-
amined with less passion and
more common sense.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Attorney General Kennedy
has just made a remarkable
statement to the House Judi
ciary Com mittee on the
whole subject of civil
rights" legislation. In a nut
shell, he recognizes that the
measure reported out by the
subcommittee, while desira-
bic In its detectives, goes too
far and might even impeT1l
ultimate enactment Of the
entire program.
In the course of his testi-
mony, the Attorney General
suggested some ways to di-
minish opposition to the bill.
He said, for instance. that it
would be unwise for the Fed
eral government to interfere
In State, county and city
elections and that it should
confine itself to Federal cleo
lions. But Mr.. Kennedy's
main objection was to the
wide sweep of authority
which the pending bill would
give to the Federal govern
m e mt to regulate customer
relations in public accom-
m o dations." He said the
principle behind the bill
namely, that all forms Of
racial discrimination are
equally objectionable-is a
moral one, but that he be-
lieves the original anti
discrimination osal,
which did not attempt to ex-
tend Federal law to cover ev-
cry form Of public accom-
modations," was a much bet
ter approach. Mr.. Kennedy
feels that many Of the prob
lens can be solved by volun-
tary means. He declared:
I'VE we're reluctant to ex-
tend Federal power beyond
those areas where it was
clearly needed to meet exist
ing problems. The subcom-
mittee has added to this COW
erage a catch-all which pro-
hibits discrimination in any
business operating under
State or local authorization.

addition meets none Of the

MAX FRIEDMAN
Excess Political Passion and False Tears
Found in US. Over Sale to Russia

Except in the Unite
States, 1t is possible to dis
cuss trade with Russia in a
sensible way without creating
a political quarrel. Only here
does a simple commercial
transaction get entangled
with the fierce suspicious Of
the cold war. This reaction
seems hardly worthy Of COM
mon sense of the American
people.
The sale of wheat and
flour to Russia does not open
up a vast new market to the
American farmer. Nor do the
present shortages in Russia
mark the failure of Soviet
agriculture. Mr.. Maudling,
the British chancellor of the
exchequer, has been m u C h
more candid on this point
than has the Kennedy ad-
ministration. He has OBJ
served that drought and
shortages are not uncommon
even In capitalist countries.
The Voice of America may
try to tell the Russian people
that the United States is
selling wheat to the Soviet
Russians at Russia's request.
But for every Russian who
hears these broadcaSts, there
are thousands of Russian cit
liens who have already heard
and read the Soviet an
nouncement that the United
States is making this sale in
order to reduce surplus Amer
lean supplies and storage
costs. The Voice of America
will be making a serious
blunder II 1t tries to convert
the wheat deal into a propa-
ganda war. 1t would be wise
to stay away from this silly
exercise altogeth her. The
wheat transaction must
stand or fall on its own mer-
its.
Moreover, the Kennedy
administration cannot block
the sale of Russian wheat to
Cuba by a anything said or
done In Washington. All that
can be done by this country
is to lay down conditions
that American wheat will not
be shipped to Cuba. 1t is not
necessary for Russia to break
these onditions by deli
berate bad faith. A much
simpler course is open to her.
II Russia wants to help
Cuba, she can dip into her
own supply Of grain or send
wheat to Cuba bought from
~kLa~ aa,,y,Exing
Canada recognizes this fact
as one which she coul d
neither change nor control,
AS a result there was no at
tempt in the Canadian sale
to bar all shipments to Cuba.
But a Canadian politician
can talk nationally about
Cuba without being b uric d
among a mountain Of abuse
No such freedom exists for
an American politician.
Various members Of Con-
greSS have tried 10 Ut a c II
political conditions to tn e
American sale. They have
said, for example. that no
wheat should go to Russia
until Soviet troops leave
Cuba. This is not quite as
brazen a demand as Chancel-
lor Adenauer's condition that
no American wheat be sold
unless the Berlin wall is re-
moved. DR.. Adenauer i'm
posed no such conditions on

not affirmatively ban. And
its application, If a narrower
Interpretation is proper, is in
any event uneven to the ex-
tent that it depen DIS upon
widely divergent State licens-
ing practices to determine

Mr.. Kennedy pointed out
that, while excuses by the
police have occurre the

junctive power might create
new problems for the Federal
government. He said that be-
fore the proposed section of
the pending bill could be
used, it would have to be

tected right has been or is
about to be violate d." He
continued.
1T would be a mistake to
assume that all demonstra-
lions are protected because
their aims are consistent
with national policy and are
supported by the vast major
fly Of the American people

racial discrimination. Limita-
tons may be constitutionally
imposed upon the time Of

BUENOS AIRES, Aug.
(AP).-Dr. Arturo Illia, mod

national politics, is Argentina s

came two pocket civil Wars and
16, months after the military
grabbed the country.
The 62-year-old country doc
tor easily won in the electoral
college yesterday. He got 261
votes, % more than needed.
Within minutes after it be-
came obvious the job as 29th
President was DR.. Illia's, the

government of President Jose
Maria Guido freed the 9th

Mr.. Frondizi had been a pris-
oner since the military COM

1862. He was held first on an
island in the Plate River and
for the five months at San

Senator Fulbright charged
that the Intervention" of the
American Zionist Council be-
tween the Jewish Agency and
the ultimate users Of the money
was merely a way to avoid dis
closing what should have been
disclosed under the Foreign
Agents Registration Act"
Council Not Registered
The American Zionist Coun-
Gil itself, he said, did not reg
lister as the agent of a foreign
principal, and did not itemize
what it did with its money.
Senator Fulbright asked Mr..
Hamlin why the Jewish Agen-
cy did not pay funds directly
to the ultimate recipients of
the money.
Mr.. Hamlin replied that the
American Zionist Council is
composed of a number of
groups and has q closer con-
nection with them than the
Jewish Agency has. He said
that the Jewish Agency hoped
that the council would ulti-
mately take over the respon-
sibility for assisting these
groups with information and
educational services by its own
fund raising.
Activities Not Issue
Senator Fulbright stressed
that the Jewish agency's &C.
tivities in Israel were not at
issue.
There can be little but re-
Spect," he said, "for an organ
ization which over the last 15I
years has resettled 1,15O, 900
refugees in Israel. Indeed,
American Jews have shown
their support for the agency
contributions of over
81 billion and the United
States Government itself has
over the last IS years supplied
another 1878 billion in grants
and loans to Israel for similar
purposes"
The committees interest, he
said, was in the activities of
the Jewish agency's agent in
The United States because of
