JOSEPH KRAFT

On the morning Of Mon
day. December 10, the draft
text Of the speech President
johnson was to make the next
day at the United Nations in
cluded a ringing Endorsement
for the principle Of channel
ing foreign aid through in
ternational agencies. That
afternoon in the House, Otto
Passman led his troops to O
major cut in the aid amounts
requested for such agencies.
Faced with an advance repu-
diation of what the President
was about to say, the White
House had no choice. The
passages streSsing multilater-
al aid were excised from the
Presidents speech.
That little episode meas
ures the true price paid for
the turbulence that has
marked the closing of the
congressional year. The cost
does not lie only in damage
to existing programs. The
real cost lies In initiatives
foreclosed, in missed oppor-
tunities. And the cost is espe-
cially heavy because the
state Of the Communist
world holds out particularly
rich opportunities for Ameri-
can foreign policy.
The Soviet economy, for
one thing, is plainly in far
worse condition than most of
us had supposed. Mr.. Khrush-
chev's rantings about chem
ical fertilizers only Serve to
show that he cannot take the
one step that would revitalize
Soviet agriculture: de-collec-
Invitation Of the farms. At

US. Needs System to Insure Choice
Of Competent, Experienced President
DAVID LAWRENCE

The American system Of
governme Mt Is relatively
youngAnot even two eentu-
ries old-but It has rarely
shown 30 conspicuously its
lack Of maturity as it does
today. To realize how little
progress has been made in
the field Of responsible gov
eminent, all one needs to do
is to read about the prospec-
tive candidates for the pFesi-
dency being brought forward
to serve, If elected, in the
highest office in the land.
Take. for example, the DIFF
ferent men being talked
about for the Republican
presidential nomination. For
months, attention centered
on two or three possible can
didates. Then, as II these
men had suddenly become
political ineligible, the
search turned to persons re-
latively unknown-aS If 1t
would be easier to elect
someone who hasn't become
identified with any partieu-
lar issues or controversial
questions In the national
field. The fact that such
newly discovered persons Of
prominence have not had
any experience in a position
of leadership or major
responsibility in either the
executive or the legislative
branch of the Federal Gov
eminent is regarded as Of no
Importance by their political
sponsors. All that seems to
count Is that the prospective
candidate performs well on
television or appears to be a
man of congenial and pleas
ing personality. The quest is
apparently for someone with
no political liabilities. This Is
not unusual. 1t has happened
before.
Our Presidents have not
always been the ablest of
public servants. Often they
have had little background
but lots Of courage. Once q
man is endowed with presi-
dental power. he feels o
sense Of responsibility to be
honest and fair. Mistakes
usually come, however, as q
result to the special preju-
dices of anonymous advisers

their States. which is where
President Kennedy was
strongest. Their coattails be-
come. under this reasoning,
very valuable. and their cam
paigns will get more money
and attention.
The diverse is that Presi-

Western States and the

built his Senate power base.

who have no direct RESPONSE
bility to the people.
How many Of the men
elected to the highest office
in the land have turned out
really to be great men? Adu-
lation and eulogy afterwards
are often emotional. but in
the perspective Of time the
praise is, In fact, for the sin
certify Of effort and devotion
to duty rather than for ac-
tual achievement. There Is.
Of course, little time In q
four-year term In which to
do a good job. when the first
few years have to be spent In
learning the ropes. The rec
ord in q second term Is Oft
en- better than IN q first term
because q President has &C
quired experience on the job.
But, 1t win be asked, what
difference does 1t make since
the people elect and re-eleet
its their responsibility?
Throughout history, however,
some citizens have sought to
improve the ways Of free and
representative government.
There Is no convincing rea-
son, for instance, why candi-
dates for the presidency
should not be selected only
from those men who have
had substantial experience in
leadership posts in either the
executive or legislative
branch of the Government.
The Constitution can be
amended at any time to re-
quire this.
1t isn't sufficient that q
prospective nominee should
have merely been a Governor
or even q member Of Con-
greSs or the Cabinet. He
should have risen to the top
rank through his work in
either the executive or leg
islative branch Of the Ma
tional Government. He will
not necessarily make a good
President because he has
been elected to some office in
q State or city or because he
is impressive on the stump.
Making speeches is one thing
but executing policies Is quite
another. A President must be
able to understand the con-
sensus in the Nation and to
further important programs

Kennedy Authorizes
Y. A. To Care For
Veteran Patients

The President has authorized
the Veterans Administration to
actlvate and operate facilities
and beds to care for 1000 nurs-
ing home type veteran7patients
The authorization was report
ed today by John S. Gleason,
Jr., Administrator of Veterans
Affairs who said the 1900 nurs-
ing home beds would be operat-
ed in addition to the 5000
hospital beds now authorized
within the VA medical system.
The presidential action, Mr..
Gleason said, will greatly help
in relieving the adverse i'm
pact on VAS acute medical pro-
grams by the influx of older
veterans who now comprise
one-third of all VA hospital ad-
missions, and who generally re-
quire long-term care.
In his authorizing memoran-
dunn to the Administrator, the
President said:
The changing characteristics
of our veteran population, par
tlcularly those who served dur
ing the first World War. are
resulting in an adverse effect
on the acute medical programs
administered by the Veterans
Administration. Nearly 100000
war veterans are aged 20 and
over The number will increase
so per cent by 1866
Older veterans account for
one third Of your hospital adj
missions and they comprise the
bulk of the long term care pa
tent load Many have attained
maximum benefits of hospitali-
zatlOn but attempts at connnun-
lty placement have been unsuc-
cessful because of the lack of
facilities. inadequate financial
resources. absence of family
ties. and other reasons. Reten-
ton of these patients in facili-
ties designed for acute care is
costly and places All undue
strain on the l250O0 hospital
bed limit under which you are
now operating.
In order to relieve this situa-
ton, authorize you to activate
and operate facilities and beds
for 1900 nursing home type pa
tents in addition to the I25 900
hospital beds presently authoriz-
ed. This will provide arrange
fments more consistent with pa
tent requirements and improve
Utilization Of acute care facil-
ties. The higher patient turn
over will also defer the need for
increasing present bed levels.
Existing buildings best suited for

ton, other than for necessary

is authorized.
This authorization is to en-
able the Veterans Administration
to gam first-hand knowledge and
experience in the operation of
beds specifically designed for
patients requiring attendant type
services. 1t will be possible to
