' History has a way of overlooking a man's faults. At
the same time, however, it affords a method by which a
man's achievements or failures may be analyzed and meas
nred in the litrht of their influence on world affairs.
For example, we're seldom told that President Abra
ham Lincoln was one of the country's most controversial
fizurps. His election tore apart the Democratic-Republi
can Party. His philosophies
of the population. He was reviled personally Dy many
prominent people and, in fact, by some of the high political
leaders of the day. He was, subject to criticism and ridi
cule. Yet history has measured his, service to the United
States in the light of his extreme tolerance, patience, and
devotion to the cause of the Union.
History succeeds in stripping from a man's record the
immediate surroundings, measuring his contributions and
achievements over a long period of time, Smaller incidents
are forgotten. History recites only those things that have
their influence upon the future. It permits an analysis of
a man's greatness by the measure of his contribution to the
world's harm or welfare.
Will Be Good
History. I predict, will be
tury from today, as our Presidents are listed on the basis
of their records, our immediate past resident win ue rated
among the most loved, most successful, most dedicated.
History's recognition, too, I believe, will indicate a
marked departure from precedents of the past.
It has been one of our common practices in past years
to give special honor to military figures. We have
acclaimed those who served us in time of war. We have on
several occasions selected Presidents from among success
ful military personages. Eisenhower was one of those per
sons. Yet Eisenhower, a century from today, may be better
known and recognized for his work for peace, than for his
achievements as . the one who directed victorious armies in
a World War.
Despite his training for war and his experience in bat
tle, he devoted himself to the cause of peace. The peace
he advocated was not the Communist peace the peace of
the dead but a living peace based on the brotherhood of
all men; a peace based on respect for the dignity of all
men; a peace based upon the democratic exercise of free
dom among all men.
Politics Avoided ,
History records political achievements of many of our
former Presidents. Their affiliation with political parties
and philosophies forms a part of their administrative rec-ords.
Eisenhower sought to reduce politics to a minimum in
his early administration. He
litical activity in the later days
effort was for the welfare 6f
welfare of the party.
Has his administration marked a change in the world's
thinking? Will history record the Eisenhower administra
tion as a milepost in the world's affairs? The history of
the world until the present is based on war, on power re
sulting from war. But Eisenhower has placed emphasis on
peace, not on war. He has made a mighty effort to pro
mote Democracy throughout the world. Will history, as
taught in schools a century from today picture him as the
man who turned the world away from war and toward
peaceful settlement of international disputes? Will his de-
termination to settle affairs through the organized channels
of United Nations be cited by
new era?
: Possibly Eisenhower's search for peace will end as has
been the case with other administrations, in disappointment.
Others, too, have sought peace, but have failed. Few, how
ever, have been more determined than this man whose
education was in the school
There are those who say we never will see another
World War; that we will have a series of "brush fires"
which eventually will give way to a universal method of
peaceful settlement. If this

In The Day's News
By FRANK
John F. Kennedy, who as this is
written has just taken the oath of
office, is (he youngsl man ever to
be ELECTED President, but not
the youngest man ever to SERVE
in tnal nign oince.
Kennedy is 43 years, seven
months and 22 days old today.
Theodore Roosevelt lacked 43 days
of reaching his 43rd birthday when
he became President alter AlcKin
ley was assassinated.
What of Jacqueline Kennedy?
She is 31 and in her pictures
she looks even younger than that.
But she isn't the youngest mistress
of the White House. That distinc
tion apparently goes to Frances
Folsom Cleveland, who was 22
when she was married to President
Grover Cleveland.
They had five children, the first
ol whom was Horn in me White
House. Airs. Cleveland was mar
ried the year after she graduated
from Wells College. She had had
relatively little social experience,
but she was equal to the demands
of her position. She. soon became
widely Known lor ncr aeughllul
ability as a hostess, and was of
immense assistance to her lius
band.
The American public was deeply
interested In her. She shunned pub
licity, in which she seems to have
been similar to Mrs. Kennedy. She
had utile iuck. however, in keen
ing out of the limelight, for the
newspapers of the day followed her
every word and action. It is hmlilv
probable that Mrs. Kennedy will
nave the same experience.
One of the most distinguished
hostesses of the While House was
undoubtedly Dolly Madison. She
was 22 when she married James
Madison, then a wealthy and dis
tinguished member of congress.
She had already been married and
widowed.
When Madison became President
Americans Have Two Views
On The Query, How's Business
NEW YORK (AP)-Americans
have before them today two views
on the currently acute question:
How's business?
They should find a general idea
of the incoming president's vidws
in his inaugural address with
specifics that will affect business,
labor, and taxpayers expected to
be set forth shortly in special
messages to Congress.
They have the views of the
outgoing administration summed
up in the final economic report
to Congress by President Eisen
hower. i As usual the outgoing president
is cautious. Ho avoids calling the
present state of business a reces
sion, but rather an economic slow
down due soon to reverso itself
without much prodding from gov
ernment. Incoming President Kennedy's
views have been foreshadowed by
task force reports that add up to
spending many more billions of
dollars to get things humming
again.
But many businessmen hauc
considered these reports trial
bnlloons seeking public reaction.
The reports outline things in
many fields that we'd like to have
if we could afford them.
These businessmen have felt
that they d have to wait and see
just how far along that road Pres
ident Kennedy and the new Con
gress would go in handling both
the situation and the problem of
growth tho government should try
to stimulate on a hurry-up sched
ule. And some of his Cabinet ap
pointments seem to promise cau
tion. But the conflict in the two
views are clear.
The Cartoonist .Says:
"I Know
JENKINS
Jefferson's secretary of state, she
went to Washington not only to pre
side over her own home but to act
as official hostess at the White
House, as Jefferson was a widow
er. It was a period of bitter political
struggles, but Mrs. Madison's
charm and popularity made her
home a center of Washington so
ciety and a place of refuge from
parly quarrels. During the bitter
years of her husband's Presidency,
Dolly Madison's popularity made
the social life of the administra
tion gracious and brilliant.
When British troops occupied
Washington in the summer of 1814,
she fled, along with other citizens,
carrying silver, historically price
less official papers, and valuables
with her. She returned to find only
the blackened walls of the White
House standing.
Incidentally, Dolly Madison was
the first hostess to serve ice cream
in the United States. She served
the strange foreign dessert at a
White House dinner in 1809. It
was an immense sensation.
The first ice cream is believed
to have been made in Italy about
1550. The natives there had long
used ice from the mountains to
cool their drinks. They discover
ed that ice and salt made a freez
ing mixture. From there it was
only a step to adding milk or
cream and the Italians had ice
cream. Up and coming Dolly Mad
ison was quick to latch onto it as
soon as she read about it.
Dolly Madison was the belle of
the lust inaugural Dan. men, as
now, people poured into Washing
ton for the inaugural ceremonies.
This first inaugural ball, held in
Long's Hotel on March 4, 1809, was
a brilliant affair. So many people
attended it that the air in the ball
room became unbelievably stuffy
and they had to smash the windows
to provide ventilation.
President Eisenhower's econom
ic summation stresses that the
business slackness is larcclv one
of a stock-culling trend in indus
try which he thinks must soon
reverse itself. And he says that
without these inventory cutbacks.
the rest of the economy is ahead
or lasi year.
He thinks the latest spurt in our
loss of gold is, due mainly to the
outflow of capital seeking short
term gains from higher yields in
foreign money markets currently
offering higher interest payments.
Tho F.isenhowcr view is that
this year's rise in exnorls ovi-r
imports shows that in general our
trade relations are healthy and
mat. mis win prevail over short
term capital flights.
Tho outgoing president's views
are in tho face of a recent out
pouring of unpleasant official sta
tistics. Unemployment is rising. Indus
trial output has been falling and
is well below a year ago. Person
al income is down after months
of steady climbing. The zip has
gone out of the increase in retail
sales.
Profit margins for many corpo
rations are squeezed far below
year ago figures. The loss of gold
with attendant uncertainties
over the world confidence in the
U. is. dollar continues.
These are the statistics that the
Kennedy task forces have been
using in advocating more federal
am to the economy.
Their views are gloomy com
pared to those of the outgoing
president.
But it's still up to the incoming
president and the new Congress
to deride how effective the task
forces' programs would be, and
just how badly the proposals sre
needed.
How Meade Felt When the
Dn-f- A r
I Electoral College
Proposal Opposed
SALEM (AP) A proposal
that Oregon launch a move to
abolish the federal electoral col
lege ran into opposition this week
in the Senate State and Federal
Affairs Committe.
The memorial would have the
president and vice president
elected by popular vote, i
If three-fourths of the states
approve it, then Congress would
call a convention to place it in
the Constitution.
Sen Carl Francis, R-Dayton,
author of the memorial, said the
Constitution never has been
amended by this method. The
usual method is for Congress to
submit proposed amendments to
the states.
Francis said it is more demo
cratic to elect the president by
popular vote. He cited the in
stances where presidents were
elected without a majority of the
votes.
Sen. Walter J. Pearson, D-Port-Iand,
chairman of the committee,
said it would be belter to let
Congress study the matter and
submit proposed changes to the
state.
"Congress," lie said, "is in a
much better position to study this
than we are.
Pearson and Sen. Thomas R.
Mahoney, D-Portland, questioned
whether Oregon would be as well
off by abolition of the electoral
college as it is now.
Pearson and Mahoney said the
theory of the electoral college is
that the president should be
elected by 50 sovereign states.
Francis replied that this theory
now is ' meaningless.
U. S. Cuts Annual
Grazing Charges
WASHINGTON (AP) The
basic grazing fee to be charged
for use of federal grazing district
ranges .during 1961 will be 19
cents for each head of cattle a
month, a three - cent reduction
from the 1960 rale, the Interior
Department announced this week
The department said the re
duction was based on the formula
under which grazing fees are in
creased or decreased when av
eragc livestock prices at markets
in the Western states change
more than two cents a pound
during the calendar year.
The 19-cent rale is the basic
rate. The rale for a horse will
be 38 cenls a month and the rate
for each five sheep or goats will
be 19 cents a month. No fees
are charged for livestock under
six months old.
The fees apply to all federal
grazing lands in 59 grazing dis
tricts lying in Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico
Arizona, Utah, Nbvada, Oregon
and California.
The department also said lease
rentals on government lands out
side o the grazing districts will
also bo lower than those charged
in 1960. These rentals are based
on a sliding scale related to the
grazing capacity of the lands.
The rates range from two mills
to 78 cents an acre per year.

Kennedy Strikes A Serious Note
At Gala Honoring His Inauguration
WASHINGTON (AP)-John F.
Kennedy spent the first hour and
a half of his inaugural day watch
ing the last acts of a glossy revue
staged in his honor by a huge
cast of Hollywood and Broadway
stars.
He appeared to be having the
time of his life.
But when the massive show
ended at 1:30 a.m. 90 minutes be
hind schedule Kennedy struck a
serious note.
"It is now Inauguration day,"
he said, quietly. "I hope that all
of you will join Lyndon B. John
son and myself in committing us
all to the defense of the Constitu
tion of the United States."
Kennedy and his wife. Jacque

Mrs. Johnson drove to the Nation

one of the worst in Washington's
history.

To The Editor: ' '
Am enclosing a copy of a clip?
ping from an old newspaper. The
Hailey (Idaho) Times which, be
cause of its nature, 1 believe
would make interesting reading for
your subscribers, in view of the
present tax situation. At least its
a break from TV gripes.
It is as follows:
"In reply to your request to
send a check, I wish to inform
you that the present condition of
my bank account makes it almost
impossible. My shattered financial
condition is due to federal laws,
state laws, county laws, city laws,
corporation laws, mother-in-laws,
brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, and
outlaws."
"Through these laws I am com
pelled to pay a business tax,
amusement tax, head tax, income
tax, food tax, furniture tax, and
exercise lax. Even my brains are
taxed. I am required to get busi
ness license, car license, hunting
and fishing license, truck license
and dog license."
"I am also required to contrib
ute to every society and organi
zation which the genius of man
is capable of bringing to life; to
women's relief, the unemployed re
lief, and the gold digger's relief.
Also to every hospital and charit
able institution in the city, includ
ing the Red Cross, the Black Cross,
the Purple Cross, and the Double
Cross.
"For rhy own safety I am re
quired to carry life . insurance,
property insurance, business in
surance, earthquake insurance, tor
nado insurance, unemployment in
surance, old age and fire insur
ance. My business is so governed
that it is no easy matter for me to
find out who owns it. I am in
spected, suspected, disrespected,
rejected, dejected, examined, re
examined, informed, required, sum
moned, fined, commanded, and
compelled until I provide an inex
haustible supply of money for ev
ery known need of the human
race.
"Simply because I refuse to do
nate to something or other I am
boycotted, talked about, lied about,
heid up, held down, and robbed
until I am almost ruined."
"I can tell you honestly that ex
nt fnr the miracle that happened,
I could not enclose this check. The

a few now and then are inevitable.
KVAL has some transmitting

Medical Care Bill Said !
Slow Death Sentence

Traffic congealed. Thousands
of formally . dressed celebrants
stranded for lack of transportation
to the armory, milled around in
hotel lobbies.
Snow and ice that quickly
formed on the streets, and hun
dreds of cars left abandoned by
their owners contributed to one of
the greatest tieups the capital has
ever seen.
Kennedy's car, and those follow
ing it, had trouble getting up

her second child. She wore white

Opinions
is about to come up in Congress.
The AMA says it is going to fight
it to a finish. The medical care
bill passed last year, which the
AMA also fought, is inadequate and
is nothing but a slow death sen
tence to millions of old people.
All this makes millions of the
aged wonder just what the racket
is all about.
My wife and I have our own hos
pital insurance. When we go to a
doctor they take our card number;
so far so good. But, in a few days
we get a "you-owe-me" sticker
plastered on us. In talking to the
insurance company we are told
that they only pay so much. The
doctor, in turn, says he will not
take the case for what the insur
ance company will pay.
As to the bill that was passed
last year, how many people on so
cial security can pay Ihe $75 of a
doctor's bill. Even if a person can
he almost has to take a pauper
oath to do so.
So the doctors are yelling social

be old enough to know that the
same cry went up back when they
began to talk social security. Now
I, for one, am sure that millions
on social security, would like very
much for the AMA and the other
doctors to let us know just what
they expect of the millions on so
cial security. Plenty of them are
not getting more than $75 a month.
Frankly, I am for challenging the
doctors to come down in their
price to what the insurance companies-
will pay.
I also feel like telling the doc

Eleanor Roosevelt, also scheduled
to appear with the cast, didn't get
to the scene at all.
Apparently in order to give
other guests time to arrive, Ken
nedy and his wife waited in a
reception room for an hour in
stead of going to their box. Tho
show was timed to start a mo
ment after he took his seat. It
was an hour and 40 minutes late.
The armory, with a capacity of
13,000, was about half filled when
the show started. Democratic
officials hoped nevertheless that
tickets sold would bring an esti
mated $1.3 million toward defray
ing campaign expenses. Kennedy
said the party had gone into debt
$4 million to win the presidency.
Once the big show was under
way, the howling storm and bitter
cold outside were forgotten.
Bctte Davis, Frederic March,
Sidney Poitier, Anthony Quinn,
and Olivier started it off. Each
briefly recited some aspect of the
world, the United States, and the
presidency in the hour of Ken
nedy's coming to office.
Then, for more than two hours,
the stars followed each other on
stage.
Frank Sinatra, co-producer of
the show, quipped that "nobody in
the cast is young enough to bo
in the new Cabinet."
There were singers Sinatra,
Ethel Merman, Helen Traubel,
Louis Prima, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat
King Cole and Harry Belafonte.
Between songs, comedians Joey
Bishop, Alan King. Jimmy Duran
te, and Milton Berle held the
stage. Gene Kelly and Juliet
Prowse performed the main dance
numbers.
After the intermission, Johnson
was introduced and spoke briefly.
He said the appearance of so
many people on such a night was
"a perfect example of the spirit
of the Democratic party. Neither
rain, nor sleet, nor snow can stop
the Democrats once they get go
ing." Mrs. Kennedy did not stay until
the end. She left around 1 a.m.
As the last number closed, and
the house lights went up, Sinatra
announced, "The president-elect,
John F. Kennedy." The audience
rose to a man and gave Kennedy
a long ovation.
Like Johnson,, he said the pres
ence of so many people "when the
winds of adversity blow" was a
testimonial to the character of the
Democrats. He said, too, that he
was proud of his party because it
had gone $4 million into debt in
the campaign.
He said "the happy relations
between the arts and politics have
come to a culmination here to
night." He singled out Sinatra as
a special subject of his apprecia

that the inauguration ceremony
was only hours away, he left. He
reached home about 3:45 a.m.
after stopping with friends at a
downtown restaurant.
