President Kennedy Believed Popular

ion is that he could not car

senior Senator, Republican
Hiram Fong.
There is nothing personal
in this view. The s Senator
from Arizona, with his States
rights views, his inclination
to rig t-to-work laws and
other deeply conservative.
nationalist attitudes, does
not fit the situation here.
Democrats naturally would
be pleased with a Goldwater
candidacy but are not really
scared of any Republican in
sight. Only a recount put the
new State in the Kennedy
column last time, but he is
now believed to be widely
popular.
Senator Fong, himself, has
not voiced any apprehensions
he may have about his
party's choice for the top Of
the ticket. A Republic a n
leader in Washington has,
however, confided to report
ers that his Chine EIDE
scended colleague "is pray
ing nightly to his ancestors
to let the Goldwater cup pass
from his lip"
Prosperity is one ason
for the optimism about Mr.
Kennedy's chances. Hawaii is
enjoying a boom. Not all the
old-timers are happy about

That is. those not involved
in a rough teamsters strike.
One hears less these days
about the union here and
their tough leadership which
so long was offered as an ex-
cuse for withholding state
hood. But labor is still power
full and it is estimated about
a fourth Of the voters belong
to major unions, not includ-

in Senator Fong's first race

Thus Democratic-u n

to renegotiation even when

The candidates, Of course, do
not want to be vetoed but

Turning of Europeans to Own Affairs
Held Key to Realization of u. S. Aims

If Italy's opening to the
left" means anything. it
means a break in the hal
lowed tradition of sweeping
domestic problems under the
foreign policy rug. The re-
gime Of Aldo Moro will. for
the first time in years con-
front domestic problems di-
rectly.
Preoccupied with their own
business, the Europeans have
been impatiently brushing
aside all recommendations
for change in Atlantic rela-
tons. They protested when
Gen. Eisenhower proposed a
reduction of United S t a tie S
ground forces in Europe.
They also protested VIII e n
Secretary Mcnamara pro-
posed a concerted effort to
build up conventional forces
on the Continent. They even
protested when Undersecre-
tary Of State George Ball, at
the behest of the Europeans
themselves, tried to work out
with them and the British a
joint policy for EaSt-West
trade. AS opponents Of mega
tivism, in short, the Euro
peans are beginning to rival
the American Congress.
To be sure, this country
has some important business
to transact with the Euro
peans. Apart from heir

AFL-cIO Proposal for Rules on Sale
Or Transition Called Astonishing


debate that Congress can
dictate to whom sales in the
business market 81 ould be
made. Many times a would
be buyer offers cash and
promissory notes, but the SELL
er has to make up his own
mind whether the bidder is
likely to have enough success
in the business to pay off
such notes. Often a sale of
property goes to a bidder
who doesn't make the high
est financial offer but who
seems to the seller to be most
capable Of paying the
a cunt due in the years
ahead. Yet, in the AFL-CIO
resolution, no such discretion
would be allowed to the SELL
er, who would be compelled
by court order to accept the
bid selected on the basis of
only one factor-the number
of dollars in the price Of
fered. If, however, a COMPETE
tor whose property would be
strengthened by a merger
were to make a good offer
even II it were the highest
the theory Of the AFL-CIO
resolution is that the Justice
Department would promptly
call this a monopoly and the
sale would be barred.
Does the Constitution,
which says Congress all
make no law abridging the
freedom Of the press" per-
NIT the passage of laws
which would undertake to
tell a newspaper publisher to
whom he can sell his proper
ty or that he cannot discon-
tinue his paper and sell parts
of his assets to one buyer
and parts to another? Many
a newspaper in the process of
going out of business has
sold its list Of mail subscrib-
erS, usually a small part of
the total, and disposed of
portions of its property

various purchasers.
Another phase of the ALL
CLIO scheme which could i'm
pair the market value of a
business is the requirement
that notice must be given in
advance of an intention to
sell or suspend a publication.
One can imagine what psy-
Geological impact this could
have on the employees, as

JOSEPH KRAFT

Coming Immediately after
his trip to Paris. Chancellor
Erhard's visit to Washing
ton next week opens a new
testing period in Atlantic
relations. The fen Gin g will
continue through the NATO
ministerial meeting to Gen.
de G aulle's year-end press
conferen &c. And there is
strong temptation for this
country to play a forcing
hand.
But, in fact, the correct
American posture is nicely
put in one Of the administra-
tons least favorite phrases:
Don't just do som e t h in g,
stand there. For in the cur
rent condition Of European
politics, the forcing Of any
issue will come out Of season.
DR.. Erhard himself pro-
vides a good measure Of the
general condition. Within his
own party he is challenged
by an opposition under for
mer Chancellor Adenauer. He
can m a ster the opposition
only by proving himself a
vote-getter in coming state
elections. But to do that he
must advance German inter-
ests in a palpable way. He
must show that he is not, as
DR.. Adenauer claims, "a rub
Der lion," and especially not
an American rubber lion.
Conditions are not very
different in Britain and in
Italy. The new government
of Prime Minister Douglas
Home is devoting its main
energies to the clash with
Labor in the coming general
elections; to that end it is
stressing Britain's independ-
ent role in the worlds affairs.

The union Of the Ameri-

Organizations wa S supposed
to create a powerful friend
for the workingman and to
help build the system Of free
enterprise as a means OF
creating jobs and maintain

by the AFL-CIO at its con-
vention in New York casts
doubt on whether such an
objective would be furthered

The resolution adopted at
the convention referred only
to sales or mergers Of news
papers, but, if the Federal
statute proposed were passed,
the formula could be applied
to any business which was in
finanGial trouble and wanted
to conserve its assets by a
sale or merger.
An Associated Press dis
patch on Wednesday read in
part as follows:
THE resolution would re-
quire publishers to give ad-
vance notice to all labor or
CARNATIONS involved in a pro-
posed merger, suspension or
sale of a newspaper.
1.-THE resolution said that,
when there are claims that a
newspaper is being disposed
of because it is losing money,
the Justice Departme n t
should be authorized to ask
for a court-appointed apprai-
ser to determine its fair
market value.
Then, under the r esolu-
ton, the newspaper would be
thrown open for bids from
prospective purchasers will
ing to pledge continued pub
LEGATION. The publisher would
be required to accept a bid
equal to the value set by the
b court-appointed appraiser"
This is an astonishing pro-
posal, for it would set aside
the right of the seller to do
business with whomever he
pleases-a broad conse-
quence perhaps of the as
