HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Foes Find Mcclellan
Tough Man in Fight
By the Associated Press

The feeling is nearly unani-
nous in Congress that Penta-
gon civilian officials picked a
tartar by assailing Senator
John Little Mcclellan for his
conduct of the Tx warplane
hearings.
The 67-year-old Arkansas
Democrat, who has worn the
self-imposed disguise OF "just
a country lawyer" through 20
years OF Senate service, Is
known as q tough man to try
to manhandle. He doesn't take
to 1t kindly. at all, and he knows
how to strike back.
He demonstrated this when
he lectured Defense Secretary
Mcnamara and the latter's
deputy, Roswell L. Gilpatric.
When the inquiry Of his In
vestigations Subcommittee was
challenged in the Senate, he
promptly challenged his critics
to ask for q test vote. The
challenge was not accepted.
Honest John"
Senator McClellan, who wears
the handle of Honest John" is
known widely as q taciturn,
stern-faced chairman who once
was a prosecuting attorney
and hasn't forgotten it. In the
cloakroom, he is a jovial man
of wry wit who likes to swap
yarns with his colleagues.
1t is q paradox that he
should be singled out by the
Pentagon as the origin Of rough
treatment for its officials. This
is the same Senator Mcclellan
who resisted the sandpapering
Of the Army by the late Joseph
r. Mccarthy, Republican of
Wisconsin, when Senator Nc
earthly was chairman.
Senator Mcclellan once led
the Democrats in a walkout
as a protest to Senator McCar-
thy's highhanded methods.
When he did consent to rejoin
the subcommittee, the Arkan-
san brought along a young fell
low named Robert F. Kennedy
as his counsel.
Mr.. Mcnamara made what
is regarded in Congress as q
mistake in protesting that the
investigation Of why General
Dynamics Corp. got the Tx
contract was being handled In
a manner that "needlessly UNI
dermines public confidence In
the integrity and judgment"
Of the Pentagon's civilian
command.
Relations Deteriorate
The leak" Of a report charg-
ing that Mcclellan subcommit-
tee staff interrogators had SUBJ
jected Air Force employees to
"oral abuse and pressure tao
tics" did nothing to sweeten
relationships between the Pen
tagon and the Senator.
Mr.. Gilpatric, who has said
he was the anonymous spokes-
man who had accused the sub
committee Of having trapped
the Pentagon into an unfa-
vorable position on the Tx
contract, swore to the sub

committee he had no such In
tentions.
With Mr.. McNamara by his
side, Mr.. Gilpatric told the
subcommittee:
1--WE were not misled. We
were not entrapped and we
have no complaint in any sense
over the conduct of the pro-
ceedings by this committee.
Later in the session Senator
Mcclellan lectured Mr.. Gill
patric and Mr.. Mcnamara. FTe
said 1t was not right for them
to Issue these innuendces and
criticize" the committee.
Challenges SymingtOn
Firing at what he called the
Pentagon's attack on the
committee" Senator Mcclellan
declared:
II hope 1t is not the purpose
Of the Secretary Of Defense and
Of the Pentagon, and others Of
you who have responsibilities
there, to pursue tactics like
these that are calculated-I
cannot interpret them any
other way-to make an effort
to impugn the motives Of this
committee, an effort to dis
credit it, an effort to reflect
upon its work, If not its in
tegrity."
When Senator Symington,
Democrat Of Missouri, q former
Air Force Secretary. rose in
the Senate yesterday to say
that the subcommittee's actions
we're damaging military morale
and ought to be ended quickly,
he promptly caught a challenge
from Senator Mcclellan.

Latin American countries for

Asked about reports that the
Central American presidents
favored stronger action than he
did against Cuba, Mr.. Kennedy
said he heard no such pro-
posal and II don't think that
the presidents of Latin America
Thought that further action,
invasion or blockade at this
time would be fruitful"
They also recognize" he
said, that one Of the most
effective ways is to meet con-
ditions in their own countries,
to make sure that communism
doesn't get a grip because of
the failures Of the economies. /"
Agreement on Economy
He noted that 1t was agreed
lat Costa Rica to continue CO.
operation under the Alliance
for Progress to strengthen the
economies Of Central America.

Senator Dirksen told a news
conference that the Alliance

an independent inquiry into op-
erations Of the Alliance for
Progress and felt that the pro-
gram thus far has been In
effective.

on the Cuban coast by anti
Castro refugees came in re-
spouse to a question about a
Radio Moscow declaration that
the exiles who said they shot
up a Russian ship and army
camp Monday we're carrying out
secret American orders.
He replied that these men
do not have a connection with
the United States Government.
He also said Our best informa-
ton is that they did not come
from the United States"
When a reporter asked the |
President about efforts of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee to get information
about American citizens going
in and out Of Cuba by way of
Mexico. he said he would be
very surprised If the Justice De-
partment has not supplied all
the information requested. But
If that has not been done, he
said he wiz be glad to instruct
the department to do so.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: Would you give me
the origin of the incorrectly used
Shakespearean expression "gild-
ing the iIy?"- Mildred H. Hill,
Troy, N. Y.
Answer: Both parts Of the ex-
preston appear-but not as COM
monty quoted-in King John, Act
4, Scene 2. The correct version
lis:
"To gid refined gold, to
paint the lilly,
To throw perfume on the
violet. -.
Is wasteful and ridiculous
excess"
A similar widely misquoted
phrase has to do with gold and
glitter. The way Shakespeare
wrote it (Merchant Of Venice,
Act 2, Scene y was "An that
glisters is not gold" 1t was
mot a new idea even in his time,
for Chaucer had written, a
couple of centuries earlier:
'But al thing which that
shyneth as the gold mis- nat
gold, as that l have herd it
told" Apparently the translator
Of Don Quixote thought well Of
Shakespeare's version, for he
used it with only a slight
SWITCH to translate a phrase
in Part II, Book III Of Ger
vanteS' great work: "All is not
gold that glisterS."
Despite the weight Of these
illuStrious precedents, though,
you will hear the expression,
nine times out of 10, as "all
that glitters is not gold" and,

BY ALFRED SHERWOOD

You can say what you like

they have more generous hearts

spades, diamonds and clubs too.

East won the first trick with
the ace of diamonds and re-
turned the queen. Mrs. Med
ford put up the king Of dia-
mOndS, and West ruffed.
Back came the queen Of
hearts, and dummy's king was
covered by the ace. Mrs. Med
ford ruffed and looked for a way
out. How could she avoid the
loss Of four diamond tricks?
1t looked like a hopeless sit
uatiOn, and that's Just when
most male bridge players would
get peevish and perhaps snarl
at an opponent. Not Mrs. Med
ford. She smiled sweetly at the
opponents and gave them a
trick they didn't have coming
to them.
Preparation
Any hostess knows that you
don't give things away without
putting a clean tablecloth on the
table and setting out the silver
ware. You have to get things
ready. So Mrs. Medford led a
trump to dummy, ruffed a sec
ond heart, cashed the ace of
clubs and ruffed a low club in
dummy.
The next step was 10 ruff
dummy's last heart and lead the
queen of clubs from the South
hand. West covered with the
king, and Mrs. Medford smiled
graciously and discarded a dia-
mond from dummy.
"You're a nice man." she
said. "You didn't double me,
so you can have this trick"
You won't believe this, but
West wasn't grateful. He had
only hearts and clubs left. No
matter what he returned, Mrs.
Medford could discard dummy's
last diamond while ruffing in
her hand. Then dummy was
good for the rest Of the tricks.
Don't do me any favors,"
West growled, as Mrs. Medford
scored game and rubber. Isn't
that just like a man?
