The Kenai Peninsula cheechako news., 1963-06-07


 a kenai mans attempt to break the world marathon bowling re- cord was successful this past weekend. For the second time in bowling history the Kenai Penin- sula boasts the marathon cham pion.
 Bill Kummert, 35, accomplish ed the feat in n hours and 15 minutes and dethroned Tony Bor- dlnelll, also of kenai, who held the title since June of 1860. Bor- dlnelll at that time was 45 years old and weighed IA pounds.
 Bordinelli set the previous re- cord as an endurance bowler by rolling 1,008 games in total of 79 hours and 45 minutes in 1860 upsetting the world record held by Steve Karpinski of Plainville, Conn.,, who bowled 1,0O1 success sive games in no hours and 7 minutes.
 kummert, with his wife the former Edie Randall, owns and operates the Last Frontier Bar north of Kenai. Bills marathon attempt challenging Bordinelli's record began at 8 am. Thursday on Memorial Day, May 30, and concluded at 7:12 am. Sunday, June 2.
 Bowling fans crowded the Tro- phy Room of the kenai Bowl to cheer on the contender as he con- tinued to roll game after game without sleep or rest. Mrs. Kum- inert was present to lend encour- agement and in final games help ed direct Bills play when exhaus- tion began to take it's toll Total Scores
 kummert, though still limping slightly, reportedly was feeling fit as fiddle Monday after his grueling performance. He aver aged IA games per hour and walked approximately 80 miles while he bowled the 1909 games in the Fl hours and 15 minute per- iod. He downed .93,75O pins and made a total of 912 strikes.
 Bills average for the entire marathon was 92.S and it is esti- mated that he lifted a total of some 100 tons in manipulating the 10 pound balls. His high game was 240 and his low game was '.
 The ' score was made with one roll in the last game, Game No. 1909, and the rest of the balls went in the gutter The high score of 240 was made in the 345th game.
 Bills average after 300 games and 241a hours of bowling was 6,407 total pins and 699 strikes for 112 point average and 20 game per hour average.
 In comparison, Bordinelli in 1860 bowled 1,008 lines and down. ed 102,54S pins. In this total were 924 strikes and an uncounted number of spares. Tony's average for the whole marathon was 101.7 plus pins. His high game was 1S3 duplicated in Game No. PAS and Game 263. His low game score

ton? Will they miscalculate
and compel q showdown that
really could bring on q war?
These are the serious ques-
tionS that are arising now,
and it is in this context that
comments from Mr.. Ken
nedy's advisers about the
awfulness Of war can have
meaning in Moscow which Is
certainly not intended by
anyone in a position of re-
sponSibility in the WASH
ington Government.
On top of 1t alas Fidel
Castro is received with en-
thusiasm in Moscow by Mr..
Khrushchev-a speech is de-
livered by the Soviet minister
of defense accusing the Unit
ed States of carrying on a
"policy of aggressions and
provocations toward Cuba,
supporting and encouraging
the piratical activities Of
enemies Of the Cuban peo-
pie"
Strangely enough, the
American Governments
spokesmen have failed to
make strong speeches de-
nouncing the aggressive acts
and purposes of the Soviet
Union which were revealed
when the United States by
aerial surveillance discovered
missiles planted in Cuba and
aimed at this country. In
stead, the comments emanat-
ing from the administration
are concerned wholly with u
fear that the use of force to
assure American rights would
be displeasing to the Soviets
and could bring war.
The atmos osphere today
seems to be one of peace at
any price" Though strong
words were used several
months ago, the tendency now
is to accept the situation with
respect to the continued pres
ence in Cuba of Soviet troops
and to bear with it indefi-
nitely. The big question now
is whether the current COM
placency here will stimulate
the Moscow government to be-
come more aggressive in Cuba
and elsewhere by reason Of
its confidence that the United
States is either afraid to
retaliate or will not wish to
do so at least until after the
next presidential election
when the campaign on a
policy Of peace at any price"
has run its course.

and congressional apathy,
this one seems content to
carry on his increasingly dis
cordant dialogue with the
press.
At the political level, the
activist politician of 1957-60
who became poSitivist Presi-
dent Of 1861 has twice re-
Gently subscribed to the
fatalistic ebb and flow theory
Of his office. He seems ready
to wait for a change in the
adverse times that have been
running while outstanding
his personal popularity.
This Is the more unex-
pected from a President who
is as much historian as
politician. Mr.. Kennedy
knows from his own wide
reading that the great oc-
cupants Of his office have
added significantly to its
dimensions.
The Presidents personal
standing will doubtless hold
through 1864. But increasing
division and drift are fore
seeable since Congress, poll
ticianS all. already recognizes
that popularity and power
are not interchangeable in
his personal arsenal.
Even the great national
coalition that the New From
tier inherited from the Roose-
velt-Truman era is being
eroded. This results in part
from a creeping conserva-
tism alien to the hard core
OF the coalition. in part from
the practical fact that the
Democratic Party is being
neglected in favor Of the
Kennedy party. 1t is an
ominous prospect for the
1868 Democratic nominee.

His View of the Office Is Believed
Undergoing q Radical Change

A number Of developments
this year suggest that Presi-
dent Kennedy's view Of the
Presidency is undergoing
radical change under the
pressures Of that difficult
office.
II there was one bedrock
conviction that John F. Ken
nedy brought to his 1860
drive, it was his advocacy Of
a strong Presidency. His elo-
quence on that topic was
really more the campaign
keynote than his discursive
acceptance speech in Los
Angeles which heralded the
New Frontier.
In recent months, by deed
and word, the President has
revealed an historic retreat
in his personal thinking on
the powers and reach Of the
White House. On several oc-
casions he has publicly dwelt
on the limits Of the Presi-
dency, as did Presidents
Eisenhower and Hoover,
rather than on the oppor-
tunities and reserve author
ity Of the office. such as
stirred Presidents Theodore
and Franklin Roosevelt,
Wilson and Truman.
The sharpest insight into
the private Kennedy musings
on this subject came in his
explanations for refusing to
cut off Federal aid to Mis-
sissippi despite that States

law. Perhaps q political re-
treat was advisable. but the

The current tension in the
Middle East is serious to the
point where the administra-
ton is considering what it
would do If Jordan collapsed
and the whole area came up
for grabs. Months may pass
before the danger recedes.
Still the present fever is an
expression Of a sickness that
is chronic, and If the patient
can survive the current siege.
the events that brought it
about are likely to work to-
ward a long-term easing Of
the underlying trouble.
The basic difficulty is a
collection Of grievances found
everywhere in the under
developed world - poverty,
misery, disease. Atop these
are political discontents
varying from country to
country. In Jordan, the two
thirds Of the population that
are Arab refugees nurse
bitter resentment over the
loss of their lands to Israel
and their domination by the
regime Of King Hussein. In
Syria, the army chafes under
political rule, while Aleppo
resists the supremacy Of
Damascus. Iraq has minority
problems, notably with the
Kurds.
For all the discontented
in the Middle East, Arab
unity represents a dream of
betterment; and in recent
years anyhow the dream has
come to focus on a single
leader, Col. Nasser. When
ever his fortunes appear TO
rise, hopes blossom and pol
itics becomes turbulent. The

lence lies in a string of SEEM

self has been playing his
hand with marked caution.
He did not press his ad-
vantage home in the unity
talks with Syria and Iraq.
Just now he has turned his
back on Jordan for q trip to
North Africa. One reason for
his moderation, no doubt, is
that with his own forces
still heavily committed in
the Yemen, he fears what
Israel might do If matters
came to a showdown. The
idea suggests a useful step
this country might take.
That is to take a strong
stance in favor of the main
tenance Of the status quo in
the Middle East. Such a pos
ture would give new strength
to King Hussein and the re-
gimes in Iraq and Syria. 1t
would calm nerves In Israel
which are unusally jittery
at the moment. It would
serve to give Col. Nasser an
additional excuse for re-
straint.
To be sure, nothing funda-
mental would be changed.
But unsatisfactory as the
present situation may seem,
1t could be a lot worse. And
the longer it can endure,
the more it is likely to get
better-especially after the
danger zone Of the pre-pleb-
iscite period is traversed.

The administration has
decided to take a new line
against the critics Of its
Cuban policy. 1t is to accuse
them Of wanting to plunge
the United States into q
Iluclear war.
McGeorge Bundy, Presiden-
tial adviser on foreign policy,
said In q panel discussion at
the United States Chamber
Of Commerce convention here
this week that the only alter
natives to the present policy
toward Cuba are a naval
quarantine or military inva-
sion. He added:
Honest critics should say
whether they prefer these
acts Of war to the Kennedy
policy"
Judging by speeches in a
similar vein by Democrats
In Congress. 1t begins to look
as If the administration is
preparing to apply a kept us
out Of war" slogan in the next
political campaign If Cuba
persists as a major issue-as
seems likely, based on the
widespread discussion of it
among members Of both
political parties.
But the kept us out Of
war" concept is the most
dangerous Of all political
gimmicks, as 1t can bring on
the very war that nobody
wants. Back in 1915, the
Democrats won a presidential
election with the cry that
President Wilson had kept
us out Of war" Mr.. Wilson
never used the slogan him
self in his campaign speeches
or claimed 1t as an accom-
plishment Of his administra-
ton. But within six months
after his election, the United
States was forced into World
War I.
Historians can attest that
the miscalculations by the
Kaiser's govern m e nt was
based on the assumption that
American public opinion
would restrain the American
Government from going to
war under any circumstances.

administration stand could
have been placed simply on
the ground that those most
In need of Federal assistance
would have been the ones
hardest hit by the Civil
Rights Commission proposal.
Instead, the President ru-
minated on the limitations
Of his office, both before the
editors convention and his
press conference. At moments
he sounded like the strict
est constructionist Of any
Democratic chief executive
since Grover Cleveland.
ProSpectively these remarks
could haunt him and his
successors. They are bound
also to encourage the anti
federalistS more than has
any other responsible source
in recent decades.
How rapidly Mr.. Kennedy's
thinking has evolved toward
a limited Presidency is shown
by the fact that barely a
year ago he pulled out all the
stops against a big steel price
increase. Washington wags
are suggesting that soon the
President will be obliged to
find at least a third Of his
own executive orders uncon-
stitutional.
Certainly. the Kennedy
legislative program this year
is as modest as the Presi-
dents developing view of his
office. The effort being made
in Congress in behalf Of even
that half loaf is likewise cir

ing Of the Lusitania had
brought about this forebear-
ance on the part Of Germany.
But after the American pres
idential campaign had taken
on virtually a peace-at-any-
price complexion, the mill
tarists in Berlin decided to
take a chance. They torpe-
doed unarmed ships on which
Americans were travelling,
and 1t did lead to war.
The same kind Of situation
arose in the 1930s in Europe.
Prime Minister Chamberlain
had given the impression that
he feared any war. Hitler, in
starting his war against Po-
land in September, 1889, took
1t for granted that Britain
wouldn't fight.
President Kennedy made it
very clear last october that
he wouldn't hesitate to use
military force to get rid Of
the Soviet missiles in Cuba.
His firm attitude brought
about the withdrawal Of
many Of the missiles. This
country experienced a war
scare and breathed a sigh Of
relief when the Soviet gov
ernment apparently backed
down.
But, as is characteristic of
the Communists, the ma
neuver was merely a test.
There is no evidence now
that the Soviets intend to
give up Cuba as a military
base where they can main
tain many thousands of
troops and technicians and
keep a measure of control
over q government in this
hemisphere, only 80 mile S
away from the territory Of
the United States.
Naturally, this has caused
much anxiety. Some Demo-
cratic Senators have been as
vehement in their criticism
as Republicans. But the ad-
ministration has not been
able to clear up the situation
and gives no indication that
military measures will be
applied to drive the Soviet
military apparatus out of
Cuba. The Presidents ad-
viSerS take the position that
any such drastic steps would
bring on q big war.
