SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20,
Mat f er of Fact v j.p ai,op
... . OUTSTANDINO .
Washington - The relative
ly small number of outstand
ing political debts Is a feature
of his post-vlc-t
o r y balance
sheet which
must give con
slderaole qui
et pleasure to
Senator Ken
nedy. Even
President El
enhower, In
1952, had a
. Joseph ai'VoT punier Bal
i .. 1
ance sheet than Kennedy has
today.
This point was underlined
In reverse, so to say, by the
recent visit paid Kennedy by
one of his principal creditors,
Gov, Abraham Riblcoff of
Connecticut. Kennedy plays
the political game in accord
with the accepted rules. He
asked Ribicoff to lunch with
him at Palm Beach, not only
because he like and admires
him, which he does, but also
because he feels indebted to
him.
The astute Ribicoff and the
equally astute Connecticut
State Chairman, John Bailey,
were the first professional
politicians outside Massachu
setts to back the Kennedy can
didacy. For a long time, in
deed, they were the only ones.
As thing have turned out, it
was a little like buying Gen
eral Motors stock when the
company was formed, and
never selling a share there
after. This fact Is not only im
portant to Gov. Ribicoff, who
will probably become Attor
ney General if he wants the
job, and to John Bailey, who
may well be Postmaster Gen
eral. This same fact is also
important to another Connec
ticut man, Chester Bowles,
since the Bowles claim on
Kennedy has to be rated as
substantially weaker than the
Ribicoff-Bailey claims.
BOWLES was a late recruit
in the Kennedy camp. Al
though it is not generally
known, he even refused to
speak in Kennedy's behalf In
the crucial Wisconsin pri
mary. Thereafter, his name
was useful at Los Angeles.
But he did not "sacrifice" his
candidacy for the House to
the Kennedy cause, as some of
his friends are now saying. In
fact, Bailey, who would hard
ly have acted against Ken
nedy's wishes, asked Bowles
to stay in the House race,
which was won by a Republi
can after Bowles's unexpected
withdrawal.
. These unkindly facts sug
gest why the drive to make
Bowles Secretary of State Is
unlikely to be crowned with
success. The new Cabinet, af
ter all, cannot be half-recruited
from Connecticut.
Political realists will note
the same sort of unkindly
facts in the case of Adlal Stev
enson. Most ironical among
them is the fact that Steven
son was asked to nominate
Kennedy at Los Angeles, after
his own chance of being nomi
nated had reached zero. If he
had taken this opportunity of
the last instant, he would be
a sure bet for Secretary of
Slate now. But he refused.
Thus the speeches Stevenson
most usefully made during
the campaign are his only ma
jor credit on the books.
TN CONTRAST,
the books
Jl
show solid pre-conventlon
credit (the most valuable sort)
for Gov. Mennen Williams of
Michigan, Gov. Mike DISalle
of Ohio, Governor-elect Terry
Sanford of North Carolina,
Gov. Orville Freeman of Min
nesota, Rep. Edith Green of
Oregon, and the Los Angeles
leader, Jeff Unruh, in Call-
fornia. As such lists go, this

By Kennedy's personal or
ders, all important campaign
contributors were specifically
warned that no contract went
with their checks. Two very
large contributions were actu
ally rejected because the in
tending donors wanted to be
assured of diplomatic posts.
This is the main reason why
Kennedy's post-victory bal
ance sheet is so much better
than Eisenhower's was in
1962. But one must not forget
the final category of those
without money or delegates,
whose own hard work con
tributed Invaluably to Ken
nedy's success.
TIEADING this category is
Robert Kennedy. Any oth
er man who had worked as
untiringly and brilliantly as
Robert Kennedy worked for
his brother, could confidently
expect .a place in the very
highest rank of the new ad
ministration. On the face of
the facts, It seems both ridicu
lous and unjust that Robert
K e n n e d y's relationship to
John F. Kennedy should be
widely thought to debar him
for the kind of post he could
otherwise count on.
This Is yet another question
which must now be decided
by the President-elect. After
his hard won victory, he sits
In Palm Beach playing a game
like the game of fitting-pegs-ln-holcs,
which is used to test
childish I.Q.'s. But In his
game, the pegs happen to be
living, breathing, hoping hu
man beings; and their degree
of fitness for the holes may
one day mean victory or da
feat. (c) I960 Ntw York Herald

Evils of Censorship
Discussed at U of C
By New York Lawyer
By SID HOLLINOSWORTH
Berkeley, Calif. - Morris
Ernst, noted New York law
yer and defender of civil lib
erties, delivered a sermon at
the University of California
this past week on the evils of
censorship,
It was nows because It
marked a point of departure
for this university in its strug
gle during the past decade for
academic freedom.
Ernst selected as his sub
ject the highly controversial
question of publishing mate
rial pertaining to matters of
sex. He attacked the Puritan
ical viewpoint that renders
taboo all mention of the facts
of life as a principal con
tributor to Juvenile delin
quency, Cause of Trouble
"Keeping sex in the gutter
Is the cause of most of our
adolescent trouble," he said,

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Let's talk today about gold.
It's In the big headlines,
President Elsenhower (striv
ing, the correspondents ex
plain, for his cherished goal
of a sound dollar) has ORDER
ED government agencies to
adopt emergency moves to
cut down the amount of money
they spend overseas.
He has met with the Na
tional Security Council, to
confer with his administra
tion's top financial, military
and foreign policy chiefs. The
subject of the conference was
how to keep our gold supply
from dwindling farther.
WHAT'S it all about?
This is the situation;
As of now, we have rough
ly 18 billion dollars worth of
monetary gold - much of it
buried at Fort Knox. We have
nearly 18 billion dollars of
legitimate potential demands
from abroad on our gold sup
Ply. If these demands were all
presented at once, we
wouldn't have gold enough
left to back up our paper dol
lars. Gold, as everyone should
understand, is the accepted
medium for the settlement of
international balances.
HOW did we get that way?
There are conflicting
theories.
One of them is that we have
been Importing too much and
exporting too little . . . send
ing too much American money
abroad for investment, in
cluding new manufacturing
plants In foreign countries -designed,
in part, to take ad
vantage of lower foreign costs
of production, including low
er labor costs.
And so on.
rpHIS argument smacks a
little of politics. It is weak
ened somewhat by the fact
that this year our export-Import
balancehas been favora
ble, rather than unfavorable.
During most of 1960, our ex
port totals have risen faster
than our import totals-which
is another way of saying that
we have sold more abroad
than we have bought abroad.
So, another question:
What's the REAL reason
for our gold shortage?
THIS seems to be the an
swer: We've been TOO GENER
OUS. taught anything by under-!
ground comments or by under-i
ground anything."
The rule is: let people talk j
unless there it a clear andi
pressing danger, he stressed,
or as Judge Brandelt said "al
low ideas to circulate,"
"If I had my way, I'd have
the head of the Communist
party talk In this university,"
he declared.
"There would be no Com
munist party if society could
judge it in the open."
Try to Shield Child
Turning to the mass media
of books, newspapers and pic
tures, he declared: "We have
these little vigilantes sitting
up nights reading objection
able material, trying to shield
the child by making the sub
ject taboo. Then all of a sud
den, the child faces life in the
raw.
"In circumventing the code
set up for them in Hollywood,
the producers try to get away
with as much violence and
suggestlveness as possible.
And the impact of non-fiction
along this line is greater than
that of fiction."
In answer to a question as
to the propriety of secrecy in
matters of defense, Ernst re
plied: "There always will be po
litical suppression in various
pockets of society. It is the
nrantino nf malrinO tahnn.
that society cannot enforce I
that generates the trouble.
"But there must be an area j
in reserve, In politics as well j
as in love, and secrecy must
be maintained until man mak
es up his mind."
Book Mentioned
"Lady Chaterly's Lover,"
the book which has created a
sensation and a trial in Eng
land was mentioned by Ernst
as one which brought into the
open, as literature, the reali
ties faced by human beings
in order to remove the evil
connotation.
"Women, as a rule, are not
interested in off color mate-!
rial. There is a romantic and
not a pornographic Interest,"
he added.
He summed up his thesis
against censorship with the
observation that descrimln
ations today against creative
ncss are unbelievable."

Over much of the world,
and especially in Western
Europe, we maintain military
establishments manned by
American service people -and

spend these dollars where
