WILSON UPI Corraipondant President Kennedy Is caught in a political squeeze play on civil rights. The Ken nedy administration trapped itself. ' The President invited his current political troubles by making a mistaken political decision at the outset of his administration. This was to ignore for two or three years the civil rights campaign promises that contributed so Administration Said Caught in Civil Rights Squeeze luil imc through 1963 also with- much to his election. Whatever may be the mor ality of making and ignoring promises to any group of vot ers, this decision by the Pres ident in 1961 was bad poli tics. It led directly to the Kennedy administration's present predicament. The de cision looked pretty good at first.

Y.-We can Invite young folks over and help her socialize. a a a Mr. T. Y.-Our 18-year-old daughter Is handicapped with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. All through the years we've done our best to arrange for her schooling, most of it at home, and her medical care. , But the one lack which breaks our heart is young friends to 'keep her company-most of the time she just has us to talk to. That's why she'd be better off as a resident in a treat ment center. a a a Mrs. T. Y.-It'S tempting to accept the opening in the in stitute for Marcia, but I think if we put our minds to it we could arrange to bring more young folks into the house and for Marcia to get out to club meetings. Our church has a friendly young-adults' circle she could join. She'll cheer up next month when she starts her new Job of sell ing by telephone, and we'll work harder on her social life needs a' a a Tha Council! With a big push from what we learned after World War II, the handi capped may now be helped mightily with medical, school, and job problems. But how about fun? What of the emo tional sustenance that comes from rubbing shoulders (or at least arm-rests!) with other people? Since it is so hard for the homebound to get out so cially,' the answer must come from organizations-the same ones who licked the life-and-death stumpers mentioned above. We know of one agen cy, the Federation of the Handicapped, which sponsors seven clubs. Since Marcia lives on Long Island she might be able to join one. (At least one club .we learn, goes bowling, runs theater parties, takes vacation tours by bus, brings gifts and en tertainment to hospitals, and -to date-has played Cupid to 34 couples!) Other rehabilita tion ce nters may have recrea tion departments to meet the needs of other Marcias. civil rights, Kennedy concen trated, instead, on voting rights with authority already at hand. This high policy de cision was accompanied by some of the most effective race relations politicking ever observed in the United Stales. The President made Negroes socially welcome at the White House, . i i He named Negroes to fed eral office such as they had not before enjoyed. By word and deed, the President em phasized to the Negro com munity his active and friend ly interest. By surprise visits and surprise telephone calls, Kennedy kept before U. S. Negroes an image of a Presi dent who also was a warm ally. Worktd Lika Charm That was a lot more than any previous President ever had done to make the Negro feel that the head man loved him. And ior about 18 months the Kennedy strategy worked like a charm. In fact, this was about what it was made of charm. Protests against the scuttling of .1960 campaign promises were muted if aired at all. , All was well, politically, for the President on the Ne gro front. And that was im portant. . too. because 1 the President needed the Negroes to be elected in 1960 and probably will need them to be reelected next year. But all was not well. The Negroes took to the streets. President Kennedy began talking anx iously to White House visitors about a crisis in race rela tions. Rights Cain Forafroni Long time Negro friends and allies of the Kennedy's began to holler foul against Dr. Bebber Invited To Aquatic School :. Ashland - Dr. Ruth Bebber. associate professor of physical education and health at South ern Oregon college, has been invited to serve on the staff of the American National Red Cross Aquatic school at Lake Tulequoia in central Califor nia June 18-28.

His Repub lican opponents and his for mer Negro allies put on the pressure for Kennedy to pro pose civil rights legislation so drastic in nature as to arouse southern Democrats to a fren zy of opposition.
