Coils LUomG's Column
On President Kennedy
Political HNSfePieS

Editor: would like to comment
upon Mr.. Luoma's article in the
May 2 Spokesman and Recorder.
In this article, Mr.. Luoma charges,
insinuates and implies:
1. That President Kennedy's
election campaign was based upon
insincere promises Of Legislation
that it was impossible to push
through congress-.
2. That President Kennedy's ac-
ton against the steel companies
was a cynical move Ito enhance
his own personal power as well as
improve his own image"
8. That the Administration has
no interest in tackling' the prob
lem Of competition in steel.
4. That President Kennedy's
concern for working people was
always a pretense, which he has
now abandoned.
This kind Of political Mysteries
Is not very enlightening. However
I would like to point out (1) that
the misfortunes Of an Administra-
tive legislative program are a
piece Of history that keeps repeat
ing itself, and that there is moth
ing insincere about this Admins
tration's stating legislative goals
and working for them; (2) that
in the initial steel price crisis
President Kennedy used his powers
to hold the industry to an agree
ment it had made, and that the
stated objective Of this action
completely outshone any nonsense
about improving his image" (3)
That the antitrust division Of the
Department Of Justice Is directed
by one Of the ablest men and keen
est brains in the antitrust field

THE NEWS, Birmingham


Outcome of the one hour and %
minutes of conversation between
Gov. George Wallace and Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy was pre-
dictable. It was certain the gov
ernor would not yield in his posi-
ton Of personal intent to defy
court desegregation orders.
Mr.. Kennedy's motivation ap-
pears to have been simply to ex-
plore the situation since it neces-
sarily could involve, and very
much, the two men. Each doubt
less thought 1t worthwhile to get
a firsthand impression Of the other.
Both men are firmly convinced Of
the rightness Of their respective
positions.
The attorney generals visit de-
serves recognition in Alabama as
an honorable effort to examine
the condition in person. His con-
duct and performance in his Of
ficial capacity was proper. The
governors reported expression was,
in manner, restrained.
The tragedy thus seems heavily
underscored. The News under
stands the governors announced
position. 1t is based on his strong
sense Of personal commitment in
campaigning. There is a kind Of
honor in this. The starlSness Of the
tragedy, however, must lie in an
assumption that the governor,
though feeling he has a commit
ment to follow out, knows he can
not really win.

ployer or starve. This rate of pay
was generally only of subsistence
level.
AS long as individual workers
individually sold their services,
this remained the case. Unions
were formed to place workers in a
better bargaining position.
Workers organized and collec-
lively denied their services to the
employer until the employer agreed
to pay them higher wages and
other benefits. The many workers
that have not won the right to
organize are still living on the
doles the employers are willing to
pay.
The situation Is similar in agri-
culture. The individual farmer
plants and harvests his crop and
goes to the marketplace and asks
the food professor what he is will
ing to pay. Because the professor
will only pay a minimum price, the
result is the poverty on the farms
and the disappearance Of the fam
lily farmer. The MO quotes a
University Of Illinois study which
claims that "the average number
Of farms per county in Illinois in
ten years will be six. This trend
toward the era of the landed es-
tates is a result of the declining
income to the farmer at a time of
increasing prosperity to most Of
the remainder of the economy.
What type of future does the
era Of the landed estates pertend?
Brazil presents a vivid illustration.
The wealthy land holders are not
motivated to cultivate their land.
Despite food shortages that cause
hunger strikes, only 10% Of the
arabic land is cultivated.
Because American politicians
represent the food professors rath-
er than the individual farmer, over
production is given as a scapegoat
for rural poverty. This is true even
though the surplus Of food is less
than the surplus of any other COM
modify. Even If surplus was the
problem, the logical conclusion to
the argument Of the politicians is
that a shortage of food must exist
before the farmer can get a living
wage. AS have shown, Brazil has
reached this logical conclusion.
The MO claims that the only
way the family farmer can be
maintained Is by their organizing
and holding their production from
the market until they are prom
ised a fair price. This theory, which
in effect states that the seller
should set the price, has wide pre-
cedent. It Is the same philosophy
that Is practced by every mer-
chant. Every merchant in effect
has a holding action against the
customer until the customer pays
the price demanded.
The enthusiasm Of the member
ship Of the MO Is reminiscent Of
the enthusiasm Of union members
when unions were interested in
organizing unorganized workers.
This enthusiasm and rapidly in
creasing numbers leads one to pre-
dict that the next holding action
Of the NFo will be a success.

weren't at all suitable to Silky, yet they
bet on him. He should have been 80 to l.
He finished eighth.
Now that was five years ago. There's
another Preakness coming up a week from
Saturday-the 87th-and guess the colt that
will be the favorite2 Candy Spots, you may
be fairly certain. John @. Public isn't
satisfied, despite Candy's third-place finish
in the Derby, that he isn't the best.
THERE IS-LET'S BE sure of this here
and now-no great parallel Candy Spots
is a good colt; he may yet be a fine one
His breeding Is reasonably stylish - by
Nigromante out Of Khaled mare-and he
can run and win on the lead, or come from
behind. The only race he's ever lost was
the Kentucky Derby.
Yet there is a kinship of sort This is
another California colt, and Shoemaker is
riding, and Candy Spots has personality"
even If It's only the strange white spots on
his hide, as II some elves had marked
"Kilroy Was Here" in language of their
own Add it up and he, too, belongs to the

More so now than ever He's been dis
credited. His cowboy trainer, who doesn't

off the dust, the figurative blood, and
readied him for another round

mare. They don't care II he's won four
straight.
Six days after the Derby and this is the
way 1t goes:
II drew Chateaugay In the office pool
and my best friend drew Royal Tower and
wouldn't trade me-"
Eight names wuz already drawn in our

on HIM?"
80 he beat Candy Spots In the Derby
Who says he can do II again2 Didn't the
man who handles Candy say II he ran
enough he'd lose SoMETIME?"
This is not for the upper echelon horse
players. They wouldn't understand They
figure Chateaugay is full brother TO

Choteouguys Victory

AT THE PEAK OF HIS NOTORIETY
Silky Sullivan, the racehorse, was like the
baseball Nets. Old John @. Public was soft
on Silky when he was a 3-year-old. There
was something about him -.
He had built up a reputation in Cali
fornia as a e-from-behind colt Once
he came from 26 lengths off the pace and
won. And he was good-looking devil,
and friendly. In the animal kingdom only
chicken is dumber than thoroughbred.
But John @. wouldn't believe 1t about Silky.
When racing purists pointed out that
Silky Sullivan hadn't beaten any good
horses, and that his ancestry was not
considered highly fashionable, the 50 inves-
tors became resentful. Silky was their steed.
They loved his wondrous name, his man
ners, and the virtual guarantee that he
would be running dead last after furlongs
A horse like Citation was like the Yam
KEGS. Citation was too mechanically perfect
He was not for the -the-street. J. Q.'s
horse was Silky Sullivan.
He was like the Nets.
SILKY HAD NO BUSINESS going off
at $2.l0 to 81. in the Kentucky Derby Of
1858. His odds we're identical to those on
Calumet Farms Tim Tam, who had won the
Everglades Handicap, Fountain of Youth,
Flamingo and Florida Derby prior TO the
Run for the Roses.
Tim Tam was by the great Tom Fool

ahead Of Minnesota.
Vernon had great praise for
Rudolph and Lock and also
paid tribute to Kralick, who
had a perfect game for four
innings, a no-hitter for five,
and a four-hitter for IL.
Rudolph, who retired 80 con-
secutive hitters over a stretch
of several games last year, was
a smart, supremely confident
pitcher against the Indians. He
chided them. dared them to hit
him and made fun of those who
tried to bunt against him.
On one occasion with Willie
Kirkland at bat, Rudolph
yelled, I'm going to throw you
a slider, Kingfish." Kirkland
wouldn't believe him, and took
a perfect slider for a called
strike.
From Tony Martinez single
in the fourth to Mike de la Hoz'
single in the 18th, nobody
reached base against the
chunky lefthander, who won
his third in a row after giving
up nine home runs in his first
five games.

Retzer for Breeding, q right
handed hitter. Then the Sen
ators got a lucky break.
Breeding started to swing at
the first pitch, held up, and the
ball hit his bat and plunked
into rightfield for a single,
scoring Brinkman and sending
Phillips to third.
MinoSo hit a high hopper to-
ward third and Phillips was
thrown out at the plate. Hinton
walked, loading the bases, and
Lock needed only a slow hopper
or an outfield fly to score the
tying run.
Don took q rip and missed
the first pitch and swung like
a schoolgirl at the second. He
took ball one and ball two and
fouled off a couple. He then
blasted the next pitch over the
fence. Kirkland made q futile
leap and stood there, hands on
his knees, for Q minute OF
more.
Meanwhile, the Senator's were
parading around the bases and
Lock leaped q foot off first
base, and the dugout streamed
out to greet the quartet troop
ing home.
Brinkman had a big night.
His line double in the sixth
was the first hit off Kralick,
and he scored on Piersall's sac
rifice fly. He singled in the
18th to raise his batting aver
age to .283.

There was no need for Vernon
to ask Rudolph If he was firing.
It was obvious that Rudy had

command through the first

He disposed Of Martinez on

after De la Hoz' single, but the
Senator's outfield was shifted
to the left against John Ro-

Feats Of Lock- Rudo oh Give Senators Lift

Steady Diet
OF ThriIIers
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star staff Writer

Don Lock wasn't intent on
knocking the ball over the
fence last night. He had choked
up on the bat and was Just
trying to meet it. But when a
player Is strong-and mad at
himself-he can come UP with
extra power.
Irked because he looked so
absurd in swinging at q second
strike that fooled him, the Sem
ators' power-armed rightfielder
ripped into a % pitch and hit
1t over the right-centerfield
fence with the bases loaded In
the 18th inning.
Marv Breeding, Minnie Min
oSo and Chuck Hinton scored
In front Of him. They were
cutting capers on the bases
and Lock was alarmed, because
If one Of them failed to touch
a base his grand-slammer
would have been nullified.
But they all touched the
bags, and the Senator'S beat the
Indians. 6-3. in the 18th inning
of a super-duper thriller that
may not be matched this
season.
Rudolph Magnificent
Earlier 1t had seemed incon-
ceivable that anything could
have taken the play from Don
Rudolph's superb pitching per-
formance. For IL innings he
put the Indians down with one
hit, and from the fourth
through the 18th be retired IS
consecutive batters. only two
less than a perfect game.
However, the Indians touched
up Rudolph for two in the 18th,
an inning in which Manager
Birdie Tebbetts Of the Indians /
was hungry and pinch-hit for
Jack Kralick. the tall lefty who
had battled Rudolph for IL
innings Of o IL tie. Kralick
was lifted with the Indians
leading. 2-1, and they added
another run moments later.
That left 1t entirely up to
the Senators offense, and Ed
Brinkman, with his third hit
of the night, and two successful
pinch hitters and Lock came
through.
1t was the second time in
four days that the Senators
scored five runs in the last in
ming to win a game. And of
the last six games played in
D. c. Stadium, five have been
decided in the ninth inning or
an extra inning. The Sena-
tors small crowds are getting
their moneys worth.
Lift for Team
Victories like the one last
night and Sundays triumph on
Hinton's three-run homer in
the ninth. can give a team a
lift. and Manager Mickey
Vernon believes his club could
