PORTRAIT OF STEPHEN SMITH sHHHtw
Quiet Member Of Kennedy Clan

an Informal Georgetown hockey
team. Since the school did not
recognize the sport, the players
raised their own funds and ar
ranged their own schedule.
After college in l948 - he went
through in three years, thanks to
summer school - he played three
games for the New York A. C.
team, but a shipyard. foot injury
forced him to give it up.
He still skates for recreation,
plays golf c8O to IS, closer to
85'O and tennis con the short
side Of good'O.
He came out Of Georgetown's
RoTC course with a five-year re-
serve commission in the Air Force
and went on active duty in 1851.
He wound up at Otis Air Force
Base In Falmouth, Mass, for IA
months until his reserve contract
was up.

so often accused can also be a
way of buying time to work out
a more thoughtful answer.
OF all men in public life, the
representative in a legislative body
is the most available individual
in American society. The execu-
tive in business can. at least to
a considerable degree. plan his
day, even his week or month. If
he could not, he would find 1t
exceedingly difficult TO manage
his enterprise. He can refuse to
see the casual visitor or the time
waster who takes him away from
attending to his job. Generally
speaking, businessmen are con-
siderate about the way in which
they use each others time as well.
They call in advance. They ar
range to meet at mutually con-
venient times, not always Of
course, but these amenities and
courtesies are normally adhered
TO.
The officeholder. especially the
man in elective office, feels as
though he were rocking along out
Of control most OF the time. He
has comparatively little to say
about his working day, Inter-
ruptions are constant. Senators.
Representatives. State Governors,
Mayors have their working sched-
ules frequently broken into by
unannounced constituents with
nothing more serious In mind
than a casual chat or a tour OF
the city. And among the worst Of
tenders are the big campaign con-
tributors. They refuse TO talk TO
staff assistants. only the principal
himself will do. and once In his
office often as not they will un-
load an issue or problem with
which the public official is totally
unfamiliar.

In FomiIy Business

After service, Mr.. Smith went
to work with his brothers, John
and Philip, In the family business.
He lacked enthusiasm for the lob.
When the opportunity came to
go to work for Joe Kennedy's
vast business empire in 1855, he
took 1t.
"As brothers we got along rea-
sonably WE'LL" he says. But I
was not unhappy to leave"
On the new Job, he also took
to going out with the boss daugll-
ter. He and Jean Kennedy were
old friends, so old that he can't
really remember when he first
met her.
II saw her q couple Of times
when she was going to school at
Manhattanville." he recalls. "And
I saw her once or twice while I
was stationed at Otis, near the
Kennedy home on the cape"
They went together for Q year
before they were married in May,
1856, in st. Patrick's Cathedral,
with Cardinal Spellman officiat-
ing and the personal blessings Of
Pope Plus XII read at the end
of the nuptial mass.

Reaction in Europe

European nations, particularly,
along with Canada and Australia
will interpret a favorable vote as
indicating the United States will
not pursue a course of price
slashes and widespread dumping
on world markets.
They will feel a negative vote
raises the danger of uncertainty
and instability In world markets.
1t could pave the way for higher
Common Market internal grain
prices and stiffer barriers against
exports from the United States.
United States farmers have to
make the first move, since the
referendum comes before the
Common Market makes its final
decisions on grain prices.
Secretary Of Agriculture Free
man says other nations are
measuring" the vote here and will
charge the United States with
following divergent policies low
tariffs in Europe on our goods
while we go ahead with unre-
stricted production-if the pro-
gram loses.
In addition to the protectionist
signs already being raised In the
Common Market area, more
rigidity could be expected in
Europe If the wheat referendum
is defeated. The West German
Agriculture Minister Is already q
strong protectionist. Spain is
readying its biggest wheat harvest
in years. Germany and France are
eager to expand grain production.

Wheat Vote Issues
Broader Than Usual

a two-price program with acreage
allotments and payments for d.
verting acreage from wheat pro-
duction or to go for a much
lower price, depending on whether
or not they stay within allot-
ments.
The referendum applies only to
next years wheat crop. There will
be another referendum in 1864
on the following years crop, so
If the farmers approve the plan
this year and don't like the way
1t works out they can always turn
it down in 1864.
Unknown Foctor
The big unknown factor is the
thousands Of farmers who have
grown up to Is acres of wheat
without an allotment and who are
now eligible to vote in the ref
erendum. If the "15-acre farmer"
votes he must accept an allot-
ment and he gets price supports,
but he does not have to go into
the program at all If he does not
want to.
The political propaganda has
been flying thick and fast on
both sides. Opponents have
charged the Agriculture Depart
ment with spending public funds
trying to sell" the referendum,
and supporters have charged OPP
ponents with lies.
The only major outfit against
the wheat program is the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation. The
main supporter is the National
Wheat Committee, which is made
up of the National Grange, the
National Farmers Union, the Ma
tional Farmers Organization, the
National Federation Of Grain Co.

PORTRAIT OF STEPHEN E. SMITH
BY TOM HENSHAW
Associated Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK.-"Politics," says
young Steve Smith fondly, "is fas-
cinating"-and the feeling Is be-
coming mutual.
Politics and the men who prac-
tice it are growing more and
more fascinated by Steve Smith,
the Presidents quiet, diffident
brother-in- law who is a good bet
to manage the Kennedy re-elec-
ton campaign in 1864.
He's warming up for the task
right now as the Presidents po-
litical agent in New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, key
industrial States that rate high
in both electoral and Democratic
discord.
No small measure Of Mr.. Smiths
fascination derives from the fact
that he shuns personal publicity.
While Kennedy's of assorted ages
smile from magazine covers and
brothers in law Peter Lawford
and r. Sargent Shriver draw their
share Of attention, Mr.. Smith is
Just a name vaguely associated
with the Kennedys.
He prefers 1t that way.
Steve" says q friend, "has q
passion for anonymity"
There's no advantage to me to
talk about myself to the papers,"
says Mr.. Smith, seeming surprised
that anyone should ask about 1t.
I'm not running for anything.
I'm not contemplating running
for anything"
But the Smith who is not run
ming Is growing increasingly i'm
portant to the Kennedys who are.
Was Georgetown Student
Until seven years ago, when he
married Jean, the Presidents
youngest sister, Mr.. Smith had
done nothing more political than
be elected secretary of his class at
Georgetown University.
Since then, under the expert
tutelage of the Kennedys, he has
developed into such an able poll
tician that a pundit, noting his
boyish appearance, once referred
to him as a "hard-boiled Freddie
Bartholomew"
Mr.. Smith was baptized politi-
cally as headquarters office man.
ager, handling personnel and sup
plies, during John F. Kennedy's
successful campaign for re-elec-
ton as Senator from Massachu-
sets in 1858.
Early in 1859, when Mr.. Ken
nedy's presidential aspirations
took a serious turn, Mr.. Smith
was called to Washington and,
from an office overlooking the
Capitol, he quietly began laying
the groundwork for the 1860
campaign.
He handled logistics at first,
then rode herd on the Alabama
and Florida delegations at the
Democratic National Convention,
and finally settled down as con-
troller of campaign funds.

Threot Of Dumping

Since the Common Market is
almost self-sufficient in wheat
now and its tariff barriers would
prevent any dumping. a negative
vote would not raise a threat Of
dumping there. However, lower
prices on United States wheat
would lead to a worldwide drop
in prices for exporting nations
and the threat might arise of q
price war that would violate the
announced United States desire
for world price stability as ex-
pressed in the international
Wheat Agreement to which this
country is a party.
Roughly 25 million farmers will
be eligible to vote whether to try

In a strongly worded statement issued this week, Chuck Powell called upon Kodiak area voters to turn down the proposition to create borough (county) government covering all of Kodiak and Afog- nak and adjacent islands.
 Every citizen in our area with the privilege to vote should vote against the borough formation when submitted for vote on Sept. "A as protest against the attitudes and actions of the states Local Boundary Commission and the Local Affairs Agency" said Pow ell.
 During the past several years, thousands of hours have been con- stunned in general meetings and committee meetings by local resi- dents before making a recommen- dation to the Local Affairs Agency for the formation of borough in our area.
 These studies covered every economic possibility of the future borough plus population growth, future school needs, tax base, tax revenues, estimated costs for ad- ditional government (borough). etc, etc.
