RICHARD WILSON,
TheForces Stymying the President

Russian side. overall Ameri-
can military power, as Gen.
Eisenhower had said, was
much superior to Russia's.
AS for reforms, Congress
was apathetic to the Kennedy
brand. clearly reflection of
the national climate. AS for
our desperate economic con-
dition, the Kennedy experts
still complained of slow long
term growth but noted a
steady pickup in business and
foresaw a roster long-term
future. AS for the threaten
ing Soviet economic power,
the light suddenly dawned in
the Kennedy administration
that the resurgence Of West
, ern Europe had already left
Soviet gains sadly in the
shade. Nor was Russia about
to overtake America.
BY January, 1868. Mr..
Kennedy was seeing and
describing affairs in the
world in somewhat the same
terms and no worse light
than they had been described
by Richard Nixon in 1860.
These are new realities Of
the New Frontier. Prof. Burns
adds the final reality. Presi-
dent Kennedy has a long
way to go in organizing the
support and accepting the
compromises necessary for
the adoption Of needed legis-
lation on taxes. medical in
surance, school aid, urban
affairs and the whole range
Of reforms for the SOS.

RICHARD WILSON
Hard Work Held Essential to Winning
Support of Widely Opposing Interests

James MacGregor Burns.
the Presidents biographer
and now the author Of a new
book, THE Deadlock Of
Democracy" helps to bring
into focus the interior stale
mate of the Kennedy ad-
ministration.
If the analysis Of stalemate
we're to come from an unsym-
pathetic source, the PreSi-
dents friends might write it
off as unworthy partisanship;
but not from Prof. Burns.
Prof. Burns thus heartens
others who would come to
certain conclusions about the
Kennedy administration so
far. Such conclusions are:
Mr.. Kennedy has not yet
emerged as the strong"
President he aspired to be as
he defined the term strong"
Nor has Mr.. Kennedy yet
achieved that coalition Of
political forces centered
around himself to which
many Presidents, even the
weak" President Eisenhower,
aspired and some achieved.
Mr.. Kennedy. lacking the
thrust Of a personal political
coalition that transcends
either party, has not yet
been able to create and put
through Congress a CO.
ordinated body Of substantial
reform comparable to that in
the first two years Of the
Wilson administration and
the first two years OF the
Theodore Roosevelt and
Franklin D. Roosevelt ad-
ministrations.
9 1t is in this sense that he
has failed to be Istrong" as
the term strong was meant
when Arthur Schlesinger
polled rs historians to dis
cover that Wilson and the
two Roosevelts were strong"
but that Gen. Eisenhower
ranked down at the bottom
of the presidential list as
weak"
Prof. Burns, having studied
the President intimately, is
keenly aware Of Mr.. Kenne-
dy's urgent desire to be
strong" strong in the sense
that he uses the Presidency
as a pulpit to exhort and to
inspire action and then
presses presidential power to
its ultimate limits. Mr.. Ken
nedy has tried. But Prof.
Burns finds him caught in
the deadlock of the four-not
two-American political par
ties: the presidential sRepub-
licans, the congressional Re-
publicans. the presidential

Democrats, the congressional
Democrats.
This is not a novel con-
cept. 1t is novel that Prof.
Burns, and presumably the
President, would only now
find out the true nature and
Importance of the forces with
which they deal.
This is a belated recogni-
ton that presidential lead
ership depends not so much
upon the assertion Of evan
gelical authority as upon the
ability to arrange and COM
mand a consensus Of widely
opposing congressional. po-
litical and private interests.
This is hard work in the abb
sence of the evangelical
fervor and the nature of the
times surrounding Wilson
and the two Roosevelts.
1t is now conceded by
partisans Of the President
that the nature Of the times
was misjudged when he took
office. Those who tried to
say this a couple Of years
ago were derided or ignored.
But now it is common for
friendly Kennedy inter-
prefers to point out that
many of the premises on
which he ran for office, and
which he assumed to exist
when he took office, had,
in fact, no substance.
The premises which had
no substance were these:
The Nation was demand
ing new reforms; or, If the
demand was not so audible,
national opinion would rise
in a crescendo of approval
when it saw the shape Of
what could be done
We were In or about to be
in desperate economic condi-
ton, falling behind Western
Europe. threatened by the
growing economic power OF
the Soviet Union. and lag

Of a missile gap, covering
and exposed TO superior
Soviet military force. robbed
of our flexibility Of action.
We were losing the cold war.
We faced in the SOS an up
hill fight for our very lives
and fortunes.
But these conditions, so
ardently described in the 1860
presidential campaign and in
the first months OF the Ken
nedy administration. were
soon found not TO be the true
state OF affairs. The missile
gap was discovered TO have
been misnamed; 1t was a
missile surplus, or soon would
be. and the gap was on the

Much more is going on in

by President de Gaulle Of

Of saying little but doing

opinion to repent their viola
ton Of the Charter of the

timidity or expediency -
whatever the right word is
may be the reason the U. N.
has never lived UP to its re-
sponsibilities. The organiza-
ton today presents a sorry
example Of inconsistency and
disregard Of principle.
Even in our own internal

as costly strikes shut down
newspapers and inflict hard

by the President not so long
ago to crack down on some
big companies.
Is there an answerp Only
In enlightening public opin-

For. in our own country,
policies waver from flabbi-
ness to firmness and then
back again. Political expe-
diency rules the day. A
humiliating subservience to
pressure groups prevails and
powerful blocs still buy elec-
tions for the political dema-
gogues.
Last but not least, America
sends its Peace Corps to other
lands but needs a peace corps
approach in its National
Capital, where discipline in
the integrated public schools
has broken down-according
to the superintendent Of
schools-and where crime is
rampant, as even Congress-
men are held up and robbed

Capitol Building itself.

Will the sunshine ever
come back? This isn't Just
a plaintive reference to the
weather. 1t is the metaphori-
cal query of millions Of peo-
pie today as they survey the
growing gloom in world af-
fairs.
There's trouble everywhere.
Here are some, but not all, Of
the perplexities:
l. Fifty-seven American boys
have given their lives in
South Wet Nam to a cause
vaguely described as checking
communism's military ad-
vance in Southeast Asia.
2. The Soviets have estab-
lished a military base in Cuba
with somewhere between 20,-
900 and 10000 troops and
"technicians." But what do
the "technicians" do, and
how many missiles and
planes are there in Cuba for
them to operate? Why does
the United States Govern
ment sacrifice American lives
in South Wet Nam, 5000
miles away, and yet hesitate
to take risks to assure the
safety Of its citizens residing
in the Southeastern part OF
this country who could be at
tackled by defensive" weap-
ons now accumulated on an
island 80 miles away from
our shores? Why are the So
viets permitted to continue
their flagrant violations OF
the Monroe Doctrine? Why
does the administration con-
tinue to quibble about de
fensive" weapons? People
throughout America are wor-
ried about Cuba.
3. The Western Alliance Is
wobbling. Quarrels over
economic security and par
ticularly trade have dis
rupted plans for a common
market" of low tariffs. Bit
ter denunciations of the
French fill the press in
Britain and in other parts
of the world. Nationalism is
blamed, but internationalism
affords little prospect of a
solution, either. All the

during the last few decades
has been the other way, as
the crusade against colo
nialism" has led to the, crea-
ton Of dozens OF small
republics" in Africa and
across the Indian Ocean to

4. Latin America is in
trouble, too. The Alliance
for Progress" hasn't really
made progress. Grants by
our Government will not
buy friendship. The way
must be opened for private
enterprise, but this cannot
happen till governments
take full' responsibility for

ment has abandoned this
policy in relation to Cuba.
and there is no assurance
that it will not be forsaken
everywhere else in Latin
America, too.
S. Troubles in Africa null
tiply. Whites kill blacks and
blacks kill whites. The United
Nations enters the killing,
too, as it sends its armies to

factions to unite. But this
assumes a basic ability and a
readiness of the backward
peoples to govern themselves.
To have applied the trustee
ship idea and to have de-
pended on gradual evolution
would have been a better
formula.

lence in the "demonstra-

PROJECT: BAND TOUR
THESE ISLANDS have always bee

THESE ISLANDS have always been known for
good music, and on more than one occasion received at
tention for producing the kinds Of military bands which
compared favorably with the best. The present genera
ton read, not too long ago, Of Bandmaster Alton A.
Adams making the trip to New York to repeat in 1868
what he had done some 40 years earlier. This invitation
was to conduct again the famed Goldman Band OF New
York in one Of Mr. Adams own compositions. It was
while the Navy Band Of the Virgin Islands was on tour
Of the United States years ago that Bandmaster Adams
was the guest conductor.
PLANS ARE now a-foot, if we understand it cor
rectly, to project band music to the fore, and give Virgin
Islanders on the mainland and others an opportunity to
see and hear another band from these Islands. This time
it is to be a high school band, and the man whose re-
sourcefulneSs, imagination and musicianship will make
this possible is Angelo MaraSco, who has done such an
excellent job with the Christiansted High School Band.
TWO MOUNTAINOUS problems present them
selves to MI. Marasco, the Department Of Education,
and the citizens of these Islands. First, is whether the
band is sufficiently advanced to make a presentable
showing in the larger cities Of the north. This is not to
say that this cannot be done. Nothing Of the sort. Rather
It is the kind of consideration which deserves a second
thought, not only because we want to be good enough,
but because we want to be in a position to compare Ia
vorably, and even surpass many good high school bands.
MUSIC N THE schools Of the mainland is a long,
fully-established, and advanced proposition. Large, full
" equipped, and well prepared bands play at football
games and other functions, almost as matter OF routine.
and in many cases symphony o~rchestras provide excel
lent training grounds for youngsters. For example, Ger
mantown, ] suburb Of Philadelphia, has a fullblown,
thoroughly advanced symphony orchestra. There is no
doubt in our minds that if the experienced MI, Marasco
