Washington Report
By WILLIAM S. WHITE
..Congress-And lhe Election
... Washington - The Demo
cratic presidential ticket has
no doubt been at least thoreti-
'1 cally injured
by the com
parative fail
ure of the
bobtailed ses
sion of Con
gress now
drawing an
grily toward
its close.
wiito ' ' a great mis
take, however, to bet very
much that this injury is neces
sarily real or enduring. Equal
ly dangerous - and the more
Experienced Republicans both
know this and privately stress
it -" is the assumption that
the session will automatically
increase the lead claimed in
-recent polls for Republican
presidential candidate Nixon
over Democratic presidential
candidate Kennedy.
(These very polls, by the
way, are strongly suspect as
to accuracy among the Nixon
people themselves. They wish
they could believe the figures,
put they don't. They think it
much too early to get any re
liable reading of public feel
ing, and so do the Democrats.)
AND despite academic po
litical theories, the plain
fact is this: There is now no
necessary relationship what
ever between what any party
does or doesn't do in Congress
and how that party's presi
dential nominee may fare in
an election. Three successive
times this point has surely
been established.
The Democrats took Con
gress in 1954 in the face of
the most popular Republican
president in history, Dwight
Eisenhower. In 1956, at the
very moment he was piling
up a second and even greater
landslide victory, they took
Congress again. In 1958, at
a time when every rational
political observer agreed he
still held the country pretty
much in his hands the Demo
crats won Congress again.
. There is hardly the slight
est question- that they will
win Congress again this year
regardless of who wins the
presidency. No senior Repub
lican known to this corespond
ent seriously disputes that out-Jook
portunity the issues bound up
in world affairs - dealing with
Khrushchev, keeping the
peace.
Ticket-splitting as between
the presidency and Congress
is a fixed habit.
There is, moreover, a sec
ondary, but not inconsider
able, fact. The Kennedy-Johnson
slate can be reckoned to
have been badly damaged
only if one assumes the Dem
ocratic convention platform
was politically a poor one in
the first place. For the im
pression left by this session
is not solely one of the in
ability of Kennedy and John
son to bring off legislation
they wanted.
Judy Garland in
Another Comeback
London -UPD- Judy Garland
had more reason than ever
today to make Europe her per
manent home, as she said last
week she planned to do. She
put on a one-woman show at
the London fauamum Sun
day night that wowed audi
ence and critics alike.
I've had many wonderful
moments, but it would be hard
to beat this one, she said.
Some of the critics called it
another comeback," and
Peter Evans in the Daily Ex
press remarked that here was
an entertainer who "has prob
ably made more comebacks
than a Cape Canaveral rocket."
'I don't know about that,"
said Judy, "but it was great."
AN
w
doxes? The principal rea
son is that men are elected
for Congress in quite differ
ent ways and for quite dif
ferent reasons than for presi
dent. The real and controlling
and gut issues are usually
local, or at most . regional,
rather than national and in
ternational. - Indeed, if Nixon had to de
.pend on the local strength of
the Republican party, con
gressional district by district,
he probably could save him
self the trouble of running at
-all. But the point is that he
does not have to depend on
that strength. This is precise
ly why he has unhesitatingly
grasped as his one great op-
EQUALLY strong im
pression has been that of
two young men frustrated in
their efforts to implement
part of that platform by "old
guard" southern Democrats
and Republicans. This will be
seen as a good coalition it
majority of the country turns
out to be in more or less con
servative frame of mind.
But if a majority turns up
in a more or less liberal mood,
Kennedy and Johnson will
then be seen as the victims of
stuffy, bad old conservatives.
Such a circumstance would
only increase the determina
tion of the more or less lib
eral majority to give them a
hand.
Nixon has known all along
that he can't compete with
the Democratic ticket if the
public is really going to make
its decisions primarily on so
called liberal domestic issues
His bet is that this isn't how
the public will decide; Ken
nedy's bet is that it is.
In a word, nothing basic
has chanaed very much.

Echo Not Bothered
By Earth's Shadow
Washington - (UPD - The Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration reports th
Echo I communications satel
lite has suffered no ill effects
from its quick trips through
the earth's shadow.
The satellite, launched Aug,
12, now is beginning to move
more into the shadow, causing
a temperature change that
some feared might affect the
celophane-thin balloon.
But a NASA spokesman
said Sunday the shadow hasn't
meant a thing to Echo's orbit.
Laurance Rockefeller Says Now is Time for
U.S. to Plan Its Outdoor Recreation Needs
MILLION MARK
Twenty states have one mil
lion or more motor vehicles.
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
United Press International
New York-dJPli-The time is
urgently here, in the opinion
of Laurence S. Rockefeller,
for America to work out the
outdoor recreation needs
which its zooming population
will require in the next 40
years.
Rockefeller, who is chair
man of the National Outdoor
Recreation Resources Review
commission, said in an inter
view that his commission,
which is studying the prob
lem, has "a unique and excit
ing opportunity" of vital im
portance to the country.
"We hope to establish out
door recreation as a basic
need of all the people," he de
clared.
"Outdoor recreation should
be provided on a national,
state and local municipal ba
sis to meet the needs of the
people. That's our goal."
Rockefeller pointed out that
the population of the United
States is growing rapidly, and
that its people have more lei
sure time, more money to
spend and better transporta
tion than years ago. At the
same time, he warned that the
supply of land and other rec
reation resources available to
the people is diminishing.
Sees Modest Work Decrease
The commission headed by
the 50-ycar-old Rockefeller,
grandson of the famous John
D., was established by Con
gress in 1958 to study the out
door resources of the lands
and waterways of the United
States. Its purpose is "to re
view present outdoor recrea
tion resources and those that
will be required by the. year
1976 and the year 2000."
The 15-member commission
is scheduled to report its find
ings and recommendations to
the President and the Con
gress by the fall of 1961. At
a recent meeting of the com
mission and its advisory coun
cil at Jackson Lake Lodge,
Wyoming, Rockefeller report
ed that "excellent progress"

COMEDIAN RESCUED

was being made. ,
Rockefeller told UPI at his
New York office that "the
constructive use of leisure
time is one of our major ob
jectives." He recognized that the five
day work week is now the
general rule in America but
added "there is room for a
great difference of opinion as
to whether the future work
week will go down and
down."
He expressed the "personal
opinion" that any further les
sening of the work week will
be "modest" over the years
ahead.
Outdoor Life Needed
"I do not think a continu
ing, diminishing worn weeK
is sound." Rockefeller said. "I
don't think it is good, or prac
tical, or that it will happen.
"Our neighbors, such
Russia and China, are not
going to do that, we need
work to maintain our position
in the world.
Work is the key to leader-
shiD and success as a nation.
The individual needs it. It
gives him satisfaction and hap
piness. Work gives dignity
and meaning to our individual
lives.
The nation needs hard
working people and people
need work to be happy.
Outdoor recreation, Rocke
feller said, is "one of the most
favorable keys" to a construc
tive answer to the wise use
of leisure time. He said it
man sits around and drinks
beer, or spends too much ot
his leisure time just watclui.g
television, it is not construc
tive.
Nor is attending horse races
constructive, he added, be
cause it encourages people to
gamble."
Poinline out that the popu
lation of the United States is
now nenring 180 million, he
said there is every indication
that it will be more than 300
million by the year 2000.
Hopes For Action
Rockefeller said he was
"excited" over the fact that
the stale of New York at the
comins election will vote on
$75 million bond Issue for
nark and recreational areas
"This is important," he
said.
"If the people vote this
money, It will demonstrate
that not only Is it needed but
it is wanted. It would be evi
dence that the people believe
outdoor recreation is a basic
need for all the people.
"Similar programs have
been considered by other
states, and some of them are
actually being implemented.
"If various states, do not
buy land for park and recrea
tion use now, they won't be
able to afford it later. Land
values, are steadily getting
more expensive as resources
are being put to other uses."
Rockefeller's commission is
working on a $2.5 million ap
propriation in conducting its
comprehensive study all over
the nation. Rockefeller said els of government - federal,
he hoped the commission's f i- state and municipal - will co-
nal report will produce "ac- operate in developing a well
tion," and that the three lev-1 coordinated program.
