whether in these affairs he is
going to come down finally
on the side of moderation or
immoderation. Politics u
never in simple blacks and
whites, and the pull upon
him from the immoderate
side is understandable.
After all, if one climactic
factor may be said to have
elected him in the first place,
it was the massive support OF
the urban centers and blocs.
Congress Won't Follow
Against all this, however,
is the supreme fact that
Congress is simply not going
to follow immoderate White
House leadership. The simple
reason is that the country
doesn't want it, any more
than it has wanted it at any
time during the last 10 years.
Thus If the President
adopts the immoderate do
mestic line, in an effort to
please the urban voting blocs
for his campaign of 1864, he
will run into insoluble diff
culties. He will lose much Of
his old fairly general influ-
ence with Congress. He will
inevitably compromise his
leadership on what really
matters-the cold war.
And he might even find
himself at length in the po-
sition Of President Harry S.
Truman at the end of the
'40s and the beginning of the
sos. Mr.. Truman was in
fact a notably responsible
cold war leader. But as to
domestic matters he allowed
himself to be persuaded into
so extreme a line that he
suffered a collapse of his
moral authority over Con-
gress and. finally, even over
his own party.
His unexpected victory in
l948, which was perhaps more
due to the political weakness
of his Republican opponent,
Thomas E. Dewey, than to his
own strength, did not alter
the fact that in the domestic
sense his presidency was
headed for destruction.
Mr.. Kennedy's first Con-
gress was one of trial and ex-
ploration; for him, this Sec
ond Kennedy Congress is tru-
ly a Congress of decision.

went in and out of jail on
assorted minor charges, there
was no strong defen Sc
against her and her militant
companions and followers.
Though she referred to
herself as destroyer of the
works of the Devil by the
direct order of Cod she was
more careful in places like
Chicago and New York where
she was primarily an object
of rather cruel fun.
Mr.. Beals thinks that
though she died before the
Noble Experiment, her activ-
tiles had a good deal to do
with the fastening of prohi-
bition on the country. 1t
seems clear that she did in
deed seriously disturb the
the saloon trade in Kansas,
thereby forcing the wet pop
ulation to deal with boot
leggers.
For all her highly publ
cized behavior - call it vi
cious or merely foolish as
you like-there was a gen.
uine goodness in her and a
real concern for the unfor-
tunate of the earth.
so, WHILE Mr.. Beals can
say that "her semi-ignorant
fanaticism, her invinciblc BIZ
gotry, created one of those
great waves Of mass hysteria
and intolerance that so often
overtake nations :" he
also maintains some SYM
pathy for his subject as well
as an appreciation of her
historical Importance, an i'm
portance he may exaggerate.
-. She swept the United
States on to a new destiny"
he writes, land therefore is
one of the more important
makers of our Nation. What
ever criticism one may make
OF her blindness, her prepos-
ferrous attitudes, her violent
John Brown methods, her al
most indecent aggressions
against personal rights, she
was one of the long-suffer-
ing tragic figures in our his
tory; and her burning hates
were matched by her deep
spiritual integrity, her hon
esty, her boundless generos-
ity to the poor and those in
trouble"
Cyclone Garry" is mostly
a recitation of the deeds OF
this curious figure. They are
distinctly repetitive. Mr..
Beals draws some common
sense psychological conclu-
sions as will the reader. The
book is fun In a way and IL
has merit. But Mr.. Beals is
apparently not equipped TO
deal with a psychotic subject.
He does not try. which is all

What do we rem ember

that she was the woman who

What a pSychiatriSt would

havior is one thing, and most
likely a complex thing at
that. What she felt was
something else, and Mr.. Beals
puts it succinctly: "She had
been especially elected by
God, for no one but the apos-
ties of Jesus time had re-
ceived this baptism of the
Holy Ghost. 1t meant that
everything she said or did
had the sanction of God. He
was moving in and through
her.
Then and there (she
wrote of an early experience)
I consecrated myself wholly
to God. He had put the en-
tire universe in my heart. &"
Nor was she particularly
modest about comparing her
self to others: II was often
called a meddler. Yes, I al

meddle with the Devils busi-

THE PASSING SCENE
A Decisive Session for Kennedy
By WILLIAM S. WHITE

The trees are blocking a
clear view of the forest to
many as the second and crit
ical Democratic Congress Of
President Kennedy's admins
tration now begins to write
its long story.
The Presidents real prob
lem concerning that Congress
is not defined by what so
many are talking about-his
social legislative requests,
medicare, urban subsidies and
so on. Most of these pro-
grams quite likely will be
denied to him; in any case,
the central and crucial issue
for the President at this half:
way mark in his first term is
something altogether differ
ent and far bigger.
This central and crucial is
SUE is posed in a single great
question: Can this man whose
standup victory in Cuba has
given him ultimate leadership
OF the western world now deal
with Congress with such wis
dom as to maintain that true
national unity upon which
such ultimate leadership must
rest?
In his conduct of foreign
affairs, the President, after a
shaky start in the failure of
the Unsupported Cuban in
vasion Of 1861, has turned
most of the time to a sound
approach based upon tradi-
tional, commonSense values.
Most Of the time-With only
one or two exceptions - he
has refused to let the dream
ers Of talky-talk divert him
from a candid philosophy in
the cold war in which his
final trust has been put in
honorable force for the hon.
orable objective of national
safety.
Moderate VS.. ImmOderate
In his conduct of domestic
affairs, however, he has been
forever torn between his own
recognition of the moderate
mood of the country and the
ceaseleSs clamors of his left
wing for immoderate inno-
vations desired primarily by
urban pressure groups.
The essential question be-
fore him-and one which he
must answer before this Con-
gress has run its course-is

Happy ockefeller IS
charming. There seems gen.
eral agreement on that. She
is prettier than her pictures,
it is agreed, and she has
great warmth and vitality.
Another Democrat thought
her charm might be enough
to pull both, of them through,
despite widespread disapprov-
al of the fact that the former
Mrs. Murphy left a husband
and four small children to
marry the Governor.
This gal has a simplicity
and warmth" he said. IF
anybody can pull him
through she can. She creates
the feeling a little bit Of the
underdog-which makes peo-
pie seem to want to come to
her rescue"
Name Fits
A reporter, though declar-
ing that 'basically I am for
the first Mrs. Rockefeller"
went on to assess Happy this
way:
1.-THE impression she gives
is of someone who is attrac-
tive, wholesome, intelligent,
and a lady. I'm sure her
nickname is no accident.
I'm sure she has a happy
nature"
One reporter told about
another Governors wife, who
the first day of the confer
ence had been loud in her
condemnation of Happy. The
woman said she and her hus-
band had been good friends
of Gov. Rockefeller and his
first wife for many years, and
that she could never for
give" Happy for entering the
situation.

ference, Just as we were about

Happy Rockefeller scored a
hit in her first foray into
the national political jungle.
Consensus of the politi-
clans and national political
reporters who attended the
Governors Conference at Mi
ami Beach last week is that
New York Gov. Nelson Rookie
feller's bride was as success
full in her social orbit as her
husband was in dominating
the politics of the annual
conference.
The viewpoint is not unan-
imous. A veteran Washing
ton reporter summed up the
minority view by observing:
mo doubt, everyone wanted
to see her, but I would say
the interest was not warm
and kind"
Whatever their motivation,
the crowds kept coming.

autographs) we're the center
of throngs wherever they
went. Photographers logged
their every step. New York
newspaper reporters dubbed
Happy Watchers" by their
colleagues) were out in force.
A Quick View
Crowds of vacationers
gathered outside any event
the couple was expected to
attend-and then m cited
away when the Rockefelelrs
had disappeared inside, to
the occasional chagrin Of
other Governors and their
ladies.
Except for actual confer
ence sessions, wherever Rocky
went, Happy was by his side.
Gov. Rockefeller made such
a point of this that when he
was invited to be among the
delegation Of Governors to go
to the airport to meet Vice
President Lyndon johnson,
he asked If he could bring
his wife.
Gov. RoSselini, the confer
ence chairman, explained
that the delegation was made
up only of Governors, where
upon Gov. Rockefeller de-
clined to go.
He later went by himself
to pay q private courtesy call
on the Vice President at the
hotel. But out at the airport
where cameras would be
grinding, he wanted Happy
along.
Some cynical voices in the
wings will tell you that it all
was part Of a carefully
worked out plot - that If
Happy was a success 1t was
because Gov. Rockefeller's
= knowledgeable staff - the
largest and best organized at
the conference-planned it
that way.
