THAT
—ME WORRY WAR
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Politicians in both parties gener-
ally agree that President Kennedy
has Yound ways to enhance his po-
pularity with the American peo-
ple. But few seem to feel that he
knows how to use the popularity.
Public support for the more con-
troversial among his major pro-
grams including aid to education,
medical help for the aged, and al-
tered foreign aid. is reported stuck
on dead center.
These measures ride Ihe thin ed-
ge. Observers say they could win
or lose narrowll.v, be watered down,
or, in the case of medical aid,
even be put off until another year.
This taut condition continues to
exist even as the President breaks
all "exposure" records in the effort
to sharpen his personal image
with the public. The cold facts are
without parallel.
Nine times his press ponferences
have been televised — a few in live
iorms, the rest on tape for later
playback in full or in part. No net-
work, to be sure, has carried them
all in full, but one has done it sev-
en times, another six. and the third
five times. Lately they have tended
to pluck out just the highlights.
One network has devoted two
hour-long programs to Kennedy and
the White House, and the other two
systems have given him one such
outing. Mrs. Kennedy has been fea-
tured once or twice on separate
programs.
suits, then our government tends
to become the master rather than
the servant of the people.
Excessive taxation is one o't the
evils we must fight and try to re-
duce Excessive taxation not only
drains away our personal resourc-
es but is also a disease which mak-
es us easy prey to other ailments,
inflation, for example, and big go-
vernment at home and dangerous
experiments with American money
in other countries of the world.
It has been wisely said that the
worst thing that can happen to a
government is for it to be given too
much money. Not one of the ex-
tensions of socialism could be put
into effect without money. Cut off
the money supply and the power
to borrow, and you stop them in j
their tracks.
These matters are important to !
us as Americans, and they are im- j
portant to the cause of freedom !
everywhere in the world. !
On top of his inaugural and State
of the Union addresses, he got live
TV treatment for his half-hour
speech on Latin America. And net-
work officials estimate he averages
healthy chunks of time three or
four times a week on regular news-
casts.
Supplementing this has been
steady newspaper and magazine
picture and story coverage in al-
most unprecedented volume.
Time will tell how long all this
will last, and whether the public-
will tire of it or the White House
will taper it oif at the source.
But the political world appears
convinced right now that, aside
from the obvious benefit to the Pre-
sident personally, it isn't paying
off. The feeling exists that a big
link is missing and that Kennedy
hasn't found how to supply it.
On that subject he's getting plen-
ty of advice from staff aides .law-
makers, politicians and others. The
idea of "fireside chats" is mulled
over at the very time some worry
is expressed about overexposure
for him.
Maybe in the nation's present
mood it's impossible to enlist en-
ergetic and compelling popular su-
pport Yor either Kennedy's pro-
grams cr any other strongly asser-

Today In History
Today is Tuesday, April 25th, the
115th day of 19G1. There are 250
days left in the year.
Today's highlight in history:

Children are always a handi-

lead a dull life.
It won't be long until the
gals will be talking about
bathing suits, though some
will have little to speak of.
Just driving around this
spring will make us feel sorry
for the man without a country.
The smart person doesn't
pick an argument even when
it's ripe, tie just lets it drop.

opened while cannons still roared
in Europe and the Pacific, while
planes still dropped bombs on Ja-
pan and Berlin. Yet the delegates
counseled together in a search for
those things upon which an organi-
I zaton was to be built to insure the
permanent peace of the world The
struggle to that end continues.
On this date —
In 1798, the song, "Hail Colum-
bia," written by Judge Joseph Hop-
kinson, was sung for the first
time in a Philadelphia theater.
In 1859, construction of the Suez
Canal was formally begun.
In 1898, the United States for-
mally declared war on Spain.
In 1935, the first around-the-world
telephone conversation by wire and
radio, covering more than 23,000
miles, was held between telephone
executive in New York City.
In 1959, the St. Lawrence Seaway
was opened to shipping from ttic
Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.
Ten years ago. 43 persons were
killed near Key Vest, Florida when
a 4-engine Cuban airliner collided
with a light U. S. Navy plane.
Five years ago. the United Stat-
es ousted two members of the So-
viet delegation to the United Na-
tions fortheir part in sending 5
Russian seamen home a'lter they
had sought asylum in this country.
One year ago, fear was express-
ed than an earthquake in Iran
might claim as many as 1.500 lives.
Today's birthdays:
Balerina Melissa Hayden is 33
vears old Singer Astrid Varnay
is 43.
Thbught for today:
Courage is always greatest when
blended with meekness: intellec-
tual ability is most admired when
it sparkles in the setting of a mod-
est self-distrust; and never does
the human soul appear so strona
as when it forgoes revenge and
dares to forgive any injury.
