Republicans More Hopeful For 1964

By LYLE C. WILSON United Preu International WASHINGTON (UPI) - The bleak precincts of the Republican party suddenly have begun to brighten in a sunny glow of hope. Hope centers on next year. There is the thought that perhaps John F. Kennedy is not unbeatable, after all. Hope is a long way from conviction or a whistling, carefree confidence. But it is an improvement over blank despair. This Republican hope is compounded of the political facts of life as they appear 20 months before the next presidential election. Fact No. 1 is that as of now the Kennedy administration is painfully on the defensive. These defensive fronts are numerous and variously embarrassing to the young men of the New Frontier. Best publicized of President Kennedy’s troubles are in the area of foreign relations. . .Cuba . . .NATO. . .nuclear bomb tests . . .gold reserves and balance of international payments. . .friction with Allies such as Great Britain, i

Canada and France. . .a growing uneasiness over administration standards for a nuclear test ban. There was a touch of panic in last week’s administration actions to calm the uproar over Soviet arms and men in Cuba. The extraordinary effort made by Kennedy and his aides to reassure the public on Cuba was a measure of the administration’s uneasiness over the voters’ alarm, suspicions, and even anger. On Cuba and what to do about it, Kennedy has time on his side. So, too, on most other currently hot foreign relations pro Hems. Time is not on the administration’s side, however, in the area of domestic policy where Kennedy is most sharply challenged and where he has so very much at stake. Buried like a time bomb in the President’s political future is the persistent unemployment of 5 to 6 per cent of the working population. Sustained unemployment at upwards of 6 per cent probably could lick him in 1964. The ad-

ministration is uneasily aware of that. The best politician of his generation, Kennedy knows that substantial unemployment is likely to be always an unbearable burden in a political campaign. The Kennedy tax reduction-re-form program is supposed to move the country again and to provide jobs. None has suggested that its impact would be immediate and, anyway, Congress will be slow to act after an uncompromising balk at accepting the whole package. The President can reassure himself with knowledge that FDR was elected twice against the odds imposed by great unemployment. But the circumstances then were special, not likely to reoccur. With 20 months to go, Republican prospects are looking up. Patch First Paint is meant to decorate and protect sound surfaces, and not to fill in cracks and holes.

Foster’s Position Seems Lifetime Job

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst If ever a man would seem to have a lifetime job, that man is William C. Foster, head of the U.S. arms control and disarmament agency. Foster is a Republican who has spent a large part of his time doing important jobs for Democratic presidents and this week he resumed talks with the Russians in Geneva on world disarmament. The setting is the 17-nation conference on a nuclear test ban and disarmament, but for the 15 others present it is mostly a courtesy role whose vote will count only when or if the United States and the U.SS.R. first reach agreement among themselves. If chances of success are to be measured in terms of progress over the last 15 years, then Foster’s job truly is of lifetime duration. Storehouses are filled with the verbiage of past disarmament conferences. For repetition to the point of exhaustion, they probably

have no equal in world history. Occasionally attempts are made to recapture the urgency which the problem demands. In the wake of the Cuban crisis Nikita Khrushchev suddenly agreed to two or three on-site inspections on Soviet soil each year to check suspected underground nuclear test blasts. Wrote Khrushchev to President Kennedy: “We believe that now the road to agreement is straight and clear.” The United States originally had demanded 20 on-site inspections, whittled it to 12 and now said it might settle for 8. The United States had agreed that unmanned seismic stations to record underground disturbances might in some cases replace human inspection teams. It believed that at least a dozen of these stations should be on Soviet soil. Khrushchev said three would Modern Etiquette | I By Roberta Lee I Q. What is the correct and accepted manner of writing one’s acceptance or regrets to a formal invitation? A. “Mr. and Mrs. Donald F. Adams accept with pleasure (or, regret they are unable to accept) Mr. and Mrs. John R. Miller’s kind invitation for Saturday, the tenth of such-and-such month.” Q. I’ve noticed some persons using their fingers as “pushers” to Is this all right? help them get food onto their forks. A. No, it isn’t. If a person really needs a “pusher,” he may use a piece of bread or the blade of his knife. But certainly, you must keep your fingers out of the food! Q. Is it the accepted form for a woman to use her maiden name as her middle name after she has married? A. This is the established custom. In other words, after Mary Miller marries John Williams, she then becomes Miller Williams.

Then, suddenly, the Russians broke off talks which had been progressing in New York and demanded that they be returned to Geneva. Hie way obviously was neither so straight nor so clear as Khrushchev had professed to believe. Last September, Foster told Congress that Communist China can have a nuclear device within a year to three years. At least 10 other countries can have nuclear weapons and a delivery system within 10 years. But for Foster a ray of light. Os the U.S. and Russia, he says: “We are both interested in preventing the destruction of the world.” Household Scrapbook Wallpaper Removal Use your 2,3, 5, and 10-gallon garden sprayer to soak wallpaper for easier removal. Add detergent with a high-wetting agent content or spray. Let the solution penetrate each time for about five minutes — then peel or scrap off the old paper. Scratched Woodwork To repair deeply scratched woodwork, fill the scratches with a mixture of fine sawdust and spar varnish. After the filler has hardened completely, smooth it down with some fine sandpaper. Copper Cleaning Copper can be cleaned easily and economically if it is rubbed with a half-lemon dipped in salt, then rinsed with hot water, and polished with a soft cloth.
