KENNEDY'S PRESS CONFERENCE
Restraint Needed in News Strike

Here Is a partial teri OF
President Kennedy'S neDS
conference yesterday:
The President: Good after
noon. / have sent to the Con-
gress today a message on the
needs Of our IT'S million senior
citizens. The number of people
in this country age IS and
over increases by 1000 every
day, as science prolongs the
life span. / have recon-
mended a reduction in the taxes
Of older citizens by nearly $500
million, an increase in social
security and old age assistance
protection, and new efforts in
employment, housing, educa-
ton, recreation and community
service. =.
It would include a special
provision for those who do
not have social security cover
age. I feel very deeply that this
legislation should be enacted
this year II we are to fulfill
our responsibilities as great
free society.
Beyond federation
There is one other statement
I wish to make. The New York
newspaper strike is now In its
18th day. The situation has
long since passed the point Of
public liberation. The essence
of free collective bargaining IN
this country is a sense Of res
possibility and restraint by
both sides. Not merely an
effort by one side or the other
p break those who sit across
the bargaining table from them.
1t is clear in the case OF
the New York newspaper strike
that the local of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union
and its president, Bertram
Powers, insofar as anyone can !
understand his position, are
attempting to impose a settle
ment which could shut down
several newspapers in New York
and throw thousands out OF
work. Collective bargaining has
failed. The most intensive med
iation has failed. This is stu
alton which is bad for the
union movement all over the
country, bad for the newspaper
arrangements and bad for the
New York citizens-more than
five million of them-who are
newspaper readers.
In my view, one solution to
this prolonged strike, If no i'm
mediate progress is made,
would be for the striking
printers, companies, and other
involved unions, to submit their
differences to independent de-
termination of some kind. I
cannot see any other alterna-
tive which at present would
bring about a solution to this
critical labor dispute which has
already had a vital affect on
the economic life Of this great
city of New York.

For Sd Party in Strike

@. Mr.. President, as under
stand it, the New York print
ers are very firmly opposed to
arbitration as you suggested.
Do you see the need Of legisla-
ton in strikes like the New York
and Cleveland strikes, in the
public interest?
A. No, I haven't suggested-I
tried to use a different phrase
rather than arbitration, because
Of the traditional position Of
the printers against arbitra-
ton, but I did suggest a third
party might be able to play a
bridging role. :.
I think the best thing now is
to see If we can get a third
party in who can move per-
haps a step beyond mediation
but still perhaps not to the
final step Of arbitration.

Military to Act
On Any Attack

@. Mr.. President, could you
elaborate on what is meant by
all necessary action TO prevent
attacks on our shipping by
Cuba based planes?
A. Yes. I have asked the De-
partment Of Defense to make
any necessary revisions in
standing orders so as to insure
that action will be taken
against any vessel or aircraft
which executes an attack
against a vessel or aircraft Of
the United States over inter-
national waters in the Carib-
bean.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By Dr.. Peter J. Steincrohn
Night Owl Hurts
Wife and Self

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Frankly, I don't know what
to do about my husband.
I think he is running down
his health terribly. How he
can continue to work hard
every day and stay out night
after night is something I
can't understand. He is never
home except to eat and
sleep. Lodge meetings and
committee meetings take UP
every night Of the week
including Sunday. He gets
home so late I doubt that
he averages five hours Of
sleep a night. Can you ex-
plain it?-Mrs. T.
PEOPLE GO ABOUT kill
ing themselves in various
ways. Your husband may be
committing social suicide.
I can only guess why. He's
running away from some
thing or somebody: either
from himself or from you.
It's unnatural for a man to
go out every night. I think
you ought to talk 1t over
with your family doctor. He
may be suffering from some
chronic anxiety so deep that
he himself would be the last
to admit that he isn't act
ing nationally. It's one thing
to go out once a week to
play poker or bridge with the
boys, and perhaps attend one
meeting on another night
but seven out Of seven is
hardly a normal procedure.
Is there unpleaSantness in
his home environment that
might be a factor? Have you
asked yourself that question
and tried to answer it hon.
estly? Many men have told
me the reason they are at
home as little as possible is
that they don't get along
with their wives. They choose
nightly absenteeism rather
than divorce as an answer
to their problem.
See If you can talk 1t
over calmly with him. AS an
opener, you might tell him
that it's my opinion that
continued loss of needed sleep
and rest will catch up to
him one Of these days and
produce serious illness of one
kind or another. The thought
OF having to stay home every
night in the week because of
illness may wake him up to
his marital responsibilities.
Let me know how things
work out.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: If
you had only one drug to
choose in the treatment of
govt, which would it be?-
MIR. K.
1T WOULD BE colchicine;
but I am thankful for the
others.
