PLEASING EVERYBODY

PLEASING EVERYBODY
yERN PAIEWONSKY is finding himself in the
usual position Of one who works hard to please everyone. That
is the most common situation, and one known to all. At no
time is it possible for a chief executive to influence people
and win friends in any and all directions. That the Governor
knows this was taken for granted, for he touched on this very
point on a number of occasions, including a speech to a group
of Virgin Islanders in New York last year.
THE GOVERNOR started out in grand style, He made
his position clear. He knew the issues and the problems, and
he could put his finger on them at will Not only that, but he
had excellent ideas tat least expressed) as to their solution
Finally, he had the fullest support and cooperation OF all the
people, and most of all, the Legislature.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED in the two years since he took
Office? From a position of great popularity and warm aztec
ton, he has somehow allowed himself to drop to a point where
he cannot rely on any faction, party, or group. Governor
Paiewonsky was appointed by President Kennedy, and IN
addition to the fact that the Governor was a native, party lines
PLAYED a strong part. Everybody knew the Governor was a
Democrat, and one of long standing,
IN THE TWO-YEAR SPAN, changes have come, many
Of them untavorable to the Administration. Among these have
been a split between the Government Secretary and the Gov
ernor, which caused embarrassment no end. linen came the
dissatisfaction with the Governor over his failure to support
his own party, and the domination OF the Unity Party. And
in this same period, apparent lack Of leadership has placed
the Democratic rarty IN such a vulnerable posluon that 1t
not only lost its majority, but was 50 weak that another party
could assume the name of the Democratic Party. Strong
consistent, sustained leade rship might have prevented so
name-confusing a move.
BUT ONE OF the most puzzLng of all problems brought
on b1 the Governor himself was his reluctance to veto the
controversial Bill which in effect gave election officials author
iy to perform certain acts which many considered violation
of the constitutional rights of citizens. Instead OF vetoing the
bill. GoysmAor Paiewonsky returned it to the Senate.

only himself to blame. Placating can be a dangerous game.

"How can you satirize her
when she is satire in her
self?"
At any rate, so men, mem
bers of this exclusive club.
took 1t upon themselves to
satirize one Of the most pro-
life political families in
American history yesterday.
(This statement is qualified
by the fact that there are
still Adamases and Roose-
velts around, active and in
active.)
But here you are with so
men satirizing the First
Family, to say nothing of
$4,000 people dashing around
the New Frontier, and their
political opponents, and 1t
takes some doing.
1t really must be funnier
the first night, when the
President is in attendance
and the actors are coStumed
in accordance with their
roles. We kept worrying
about the setting yesterday.
Here was this Gridiron
Club emblem, a burning fur
mace, and q Confederate
flag. We never did find out
what they were all about,
although we spent the time
while the audience was be-
tween the bar and their seats
trying to figure it out. That
burning furnance still has us
worried.
On Saturday evening, the
so members and their $50
guests struggled into white
tie" to see what the furnace
and the Confederate flag
were all about. And that
brings us to the remark of
what is known as a Gridiron
Widow" you see, this
whole dinner is stag which
makes it that much more
hilarious.)
IT'S as difficult for a man
to get into white tie alone
as it is for a woman to get
into a zip-up-the-back bal

Has the spool out-spoofed
itself2
Is one of the silliest words
ever to turn up in the English
language about to die out be-
cause of lack of audience?
Could be. The ridiculous
word is in the oxford Univer-
sal Dictionary, which at
tributes it to the year 1889.
as having been invented by
one Arthur Roberts. come
dian.
So you can't say that 1t is
one of the most asinine words
ever to turn up in an Ameri-
can dictionary. There it is
right there in an English
dictionary, invented by an
English comedian.
But 1t has to have some
thing to give 1t substance. like
an audience which appre-
ciates the meaning of the
word, and which lends mean
ing to 1t.
Missing
It was missing yesterday
at the annual Gridiron Club
reception at the Statler Hotel.
The songs were clever as
ever, but where were the
President, the Vice President,
The Attorney General and
the rest of the New Frontier?
Is any satire really very
funny IL the satirees are not
in the audience?
There were Chief Justice
and Mrs. Warren, the Vice
Dean of the Diplomatic Corps
and Mrs. Berkemeyer, Post
master General Day and Mrs.
Day, HEW Secretary and
Mrs. Celebreeze and United
Nations Ambassador Adlai E.
Stevenson. To be sure, they
laughed loudly, but it would
have been much funnier had
John Fitzgerald Kennedy and
Nelson Rockefeller been in
the audience.
Is the question NONSENSE
cal? Not at all.
For one can remember
when President Truman. his
entire cabinet, the Supreme
Court and Thomas E. Dewey,
with his electric on-again,
off-again smile turned up at
the Gridiron reception and
the audience went as wild as
the program.
It's much funnier when
you can look across the aisle
and see how the butt Of a
joke is taking 1t.
Satire?
But remember also that
time was when the Gridiron
Club had this sort Of thing
to themselves. There weren't
any records on the First
Family, no comic strips. no
everlasting and eternal front
covers of magazines with
photographs and INSIDE"
stories on the First Family,
No little clubs and benefits
with their spoofs.
Which reminds us Of a re-
mark once made about a
famous Washington hostess:
