Out of this Ribicoff-Kennedy crisis inquiry came big head- " lines. Some of them reported Bob Kennedy’s hard line with witnesses who displeased him. Other headlines capsuled adverse criticism of Great Society .‘ methods and achievements in the critical areas.

ed recently was in an article in the newspaper Red Star by Marshal Ivan Konev, recounting the story of the battle that began Dec. 6, 1941.

"In those stem days,” wrote Konev, "our Communist party, its central committee and the state committee of defense headed by J. V. Stalin firmly led and did everything possible to turn the capital into an inaccessible fortress.”

Konev, former Warsaw pact commander, was one of the leading Soviet military leaders in World War II.

WASHINGTON UPI — The Defense Department - world’s No. 1 shopper—was chided by congressional investigators Monday for its lack of interest in giant, economy sized

packages.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A “Molotov cocktail” destroyed a car in a parking lot of an industrial plant, and authorities were at a loss for an explanation.

* That was to much for Kennedy who told the mayors no such sums would be available. Bob K. did not indicate the - maximum aid figure which would be satisfactory to him. ; You may be sure, however, that * Bob’s maximum will be in excess of anything Johnson has proposed or is likely to propose unless political emergency compels him to out-bid Kennedy. That would be quite a bidding contest. LBJ and RFK are ■ equally free with other people’s money, other people being the hump-back taxpayers.

The theme of last summer’s l Ribicoff-Kennedy inquiry will be the theme this month when the inquiry is resumed. The theme fis a complaint against lack of ■planning and lack of coordination in Johnson’s Great Society. This theme is dominating subcommittee public hearings which resumed this week. Ribicoff accompanied disclosure of his plans with a complaint that: "One of the great problems of city planning is the tendency of the executive branch to run the whole show."

His pointed inclusion of Stalin’s name in the Red Star article was regarded as another sign the Soviet Union is determined to restore some glitter to the tarnished image of the former dictator who was denounced in 1956 by then Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

Robert Culp, in case you may have forgotten, was the star of a good little Western series called “Trackdown,” and now of course he is in the hit “I Spy.” David Janssen, who had a series in which he played a private eye called Richard Diamond, has scored one of television’s big personal successes as “The Fugitive." Sebastian Cabot and Doug McClure both made impressions in the old “Checkmate” detec-tive-type series, and both have done quite well in later ventures.

# Foreign News Commentary

(By Wolfgang Fahlke)) BERLIN UPI — A good friend of the United States is leaving West Berlin’s city hall and his departure undoubtedly io being cheered by the Communist leaders on the other side of the “wall of shame.” Western allied officials in this Communist beleagured city note the change with uneasiness, but there is not much they can do about it. After nine years in office, West Berlin’s defiant Lord Mayor Willy Brandt, an admi-

rer of the late President John F. Kennedy, resigned and entered the new West German government. He was sworn in last Thursday as vice-chancellor and foreign minister of the new Christian Democratic-Social Democratic coalition government. Brandt’s successor in the city hall is to be Heinrich Albertz, a 51-year-old Prussian who is proud of his heritage. Since 1963, when he was elected vicemayor, Albertz ran the city’s administration during Brandt’s absence, which was about half

This complaint against centralization of government power in Washington at the expense of the cities and states is out of character for Ribicoff and equally so for Kennedy. Both are orthodox liberals. They believe in the big brother concept of big government. But bad management and the unsatisfactory results of some of LBJ’s Great Society adventures comprise a week area in the Johnson-Humphrey political defenses. Ribicoff and Kennedy could not be expected to ignore such a target. Ribicoff makes no claim to administration support for his plan for bigger and better spending on the ill-housed, illfed, ill-clothed. On the contrary , he and Bob are strictly on their own. LBJ has no intention of helping them play some big time politics at hisi

Safety Standards

WASHINGTON UPI — The government Monday proposed nine new highway safety standards, including helmets for motorcyclists, eye examinations for drivers, and mandatory car inspections. The initial list of standards was submitted to a meeting of state highway officials meeting there to discuss the recently passed Highway Safety Act. Dr. William Haddon Jr., chief of the Highway Safety Agency, said the standards were the first in a series to be submitted to the states. Under the Highway Safety Act, the states must implement

Mandatory vehicle inspection programs. Periodic ey« examinations for all drivers. Denial of licenses to drivers considered nearly blind. A new category of driver’s licenses for motorcyclists, school bus drivers and other specialties. Checking drivers’ past records before issuing new licenses. Setting up driver trainer programs. Helmets for motorcycle drivers and their passengers. Mandatory examination of

of the time. Western Allied officials are slightly apprehensive that in any dealings with the new mayor, they will have a more difficult time than they used to have with his predecessor. The 53-year-old Brandt was, I and still is, a man who would rather postpone a decision than jeopardize good relations with friends and allies. In Berlin, wnere a decision! unexpectedly made today could backfire tomorrow, this attitude on the part of the mayor often suited the allied officials. For instance, they never had to make up their minds how tc stop Communist border guards fnorn shooting occasionally into West Berlin, endangering and sometimes wounding west Berliners. Brandt understood the Western allies’ reluctance in getting involved in shooting along the Berlin Wall, as well as their unwillingness to let the West Berlin police force take over Allied rights and responsibilities at the boader where a gun battle might burgeon into a major conflict in no time at all. Therefore, a decision on how to protect West Berlin lives against trigger-happy Commu nist border guards has not been made yet. Western allied authorities here know Albertz and they doubt whether he will be as pleasant and understanding in

negotiations as Brandt was. He has proven in the past that he does not hesitate to hurt allied feelings when he thinks protective actions are necessary.

Bob Denver, formerly of the "Dobie Gillis” comedy, has had a popular hit in “Gilligan’s Irland.” Jim Backus, another regular in “Gilligan’s Island,” has had so many successful television credits including a series with the late Joan Davis that it is hard to keep up with him.
