I!)B3 Exercise in The numbness caused ing emotions of the terrible four days that shook the world recedes, and a more reasonable appraisal is possible. Such an assessment was made easier, in oui case, by the pause for Thanksgiving, a few days away from the bustle of long week end for rest, This in turn allowed cumulation of daily newspapers from Oregon published last week, thoughts and reactions and columnists. CEVERAL things are beginning to become clear. First is the fact that few if any events in the Nation s history have brought the sense of immediate shock and. grief and frustration as has the slaughter (This was in part due to broadcast media, which most everyone to feel a ticinalion.) Second is the fact that President Kennedy's place in history is assured, although it is too soon to assess history's be true greatness, or near-greatness cut off be fore full fruition. Almost no one, even enemies and opponents, can gainsay the fact that he brought a new style, a new sense of direction and purpose, into our national life. THIRD, there is widespread agreement that John F. Kennedy was not slain solely by a bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald, (if, in fact, it was really him), but greater or lesser degree, must bear some measure of guilt for having permitted an increasing climate of hatred, vengeance, violence and ex tremes of political thought, wholly alien to our tradition, to )ermeate our national life. By suffering in silence the ravings of those on the fringes of the American polity, each, in that degree, contributed to that sick climate. fourth, the nation once .again, in seeing an orderly succession of governmental leadership probably the longest tradition of the peaceful and automatic transi tion of power and authority of any government in the world. IF THERE can, this soon, to be an emerging fniKnnmiii In stnr'rmrl-i.lmllrvbt tlmsn r'nlir conclusions must stand What of President Kennedy's actual accomplishments? They were predominantly things of the spirit and the tone of government, rather than actual legislative or executive accomplishments. There was the gaiety of performance, the courage (as in the Cuban crisis), the sense of moral responsibility too often lacking in high places, the style and wit and intellect which he lad himself and which he made a point to seek out and honor, whether it was in a Robert Frost or in a visit to the Mona Lisa. A ND, AS Columnist Allen lloffard wrote from Washington in the Portland Reporter: "His total commitment was to the cause of human rights, as demonstrated in his firm stands and eloquent appeals when the forces of bigotry and hale threatened to overwhelm both reason and the Constitution." And lloffard added: "Because his conduct in oflice so effectively laid In resl one of Ihc outrageous arguments used against him by myopic Protestants in the I960 campaign, Mr. Kennedy made another contribution to his nation. "The so-called 'religious issue' should never again he a part of an American presidential campaign. He proved that when Ihc President takes his solemn oalh of office, he means every word of it." (It should be said, too, that the new direc tion given the Catholic Church by Pope John Will during lUr. Kennedy's incumbency, and also the "education in Catholicism" provided by television coverage of the funeral rites, with which many Americans had no familiarity, also should contribute to this same end.) pi.NALLY it can be noted that there is a gen- oral consensus that the nation's leadership has fallen into good hands in President Lyndon Johnson. Ho is skilled in the ways of govern ment and of politics. And this is 'to say much. Also ho is, according to those who would have an opportunity to know, a man with the (pialities of a groat human being courage, loyalty, humanity, humility, pride (no, the two are not necessarily contradictions), patriotism, toughness and determination. Once, when asked to describe himself, President Johnson said: "I am a free man. an American, a l ulled Slates Senator and a Democrat, in thai order. I am also a liberal, a con servative, a Texan, a rancher, a businessman, a consumer, a parent, a voter, and nol as young as 1 used to be nor as old as I expect to be and I am all (hose things in no fixed order." rpiIE COMING months krrlivi:ist px. hi they will also he "a time to heal." A jrood man, a man who was more universally loved in death than he was in life, has been ripped out of our national life. Another one, not an unknown quantity, has taken his place. While Rivinc a sorrowful look back, the time is soon coming when we must all look forward aain look forward, employing the qualities of unity with diversity, good Will with contro versy, unanimity of purpose with difference of approach in the style and manner, in short, which made the natiim great, and which JoltYi Kennedy so well exemplified.

AVON, Conn. Judging by this state, it is far too early to say as so many are now say ing that the new political sit uation in the country will block the movement to make Sen. Barry Goldwater the Republican Presidential nominee. Connecticut makes a particu larly good test area, precisely because of the tragic assassina tion of President Kennedy has revolutionized the entire out look here. As will be recalled, this state led the election night list for Kennedy in I960, giving him a majority above 90,000. Once in the. wnile House, moreover, he had gained even more support here. Hence he was universally expected to cflr- rv Connecticut next time by up to 200.000 voles, and perhaps bv more. , , , WHILE President Kennedy lived, therefore, no rational Republican had the smallest hope of beating Connecticut's Ocmocatie. Senator, l nomas Dodd, and the five Democratic Representatives who are up for re-election. Indeed, Connecti cut's sole Republican member of the House, Ahner Sibal, was generally thought to be in grave danger. Even so, Gov. Nelson Rocke feller seemed almost certain to gather in Ihc Connecticut dele gates to the Republican Conven tion until he remarried. Thereupon, however, former Sen. Prescott Bush made the first and Ihc most damaging public allack on the Governor, calling on him to refrain from seeking the Presidential nomin ation on moral grounds. From that dav to this, no significant Connecticut Republi can has come into the open for Rockefeller, although the Gov ernors political agenl-in-cniei, George Hinmnn, has been in constant touch with various leaders here. Meanwhile, the Goldwater supporters were making hay in Connecticut until President Kennedy was assas sinated. , , .

EARNED LESSON'! MEDFORU MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop lei New York Herald Tribune Syndltale claimed. In each township (the basic political unit in this state) Goldwater organizations are al ready being formed at the grass - roots level. The object, obviously, is to hog tie the Con necticut Republican convention long before it convenes, and then to take the whole Connecti cut delegation for Goldwater as it was taken for Dwight D. Ei senhower in 1952. No effective obstacle to this scheme was visible anywhere prior to the loss of President Kennedy. This was the case al though the hot - eyed Goldwater iles were in a decided minority among Connecticut Republicans, who generally lean to the pro gressive side. riHE PARTY as a whole was A (and still is) split seven ways to Sunday, principally by the feud between the former and present chairman, Edwin May and Scarle Pinney. Besides be ing divided among themselves, even those Republicans who were most certain Goldwater would be poison in Connecticut were also certain no one could beat a Kennedy led ticket here. Thus no effective opposition to Goldwater coalesced anywhere. Now, however, everything has changed, or at least everything ought to change. President Johnson, while not unpopular, has none of the strong, sure sup port in Connecticut Kennedy had. In the abstract, it appears entirely possible that the loss of Kennedy can swing Connecti cut into the Republican column in lillvl. "Against Lyndon Johnson. I think we can win here with any one but Barry Goldwater," says a Republican leader who wishes to remain nameless, because he thinks he may end by having lo give formal support to the conservative Republican hero. "And with the right kind of Presidential nominee, we ought then lo have a chance lo pick up Dodd's Senate seat and sev- ! oral House seats." I , T OTHER words, the Con 1 neclicut Republicans now ' have a powerful incentive to seek a Presidential candidate more attractive than Goldwater. I The incentive is a packet of of fices which the Democrats seemed sure lo hold while Ken nedy lived, but which may now be up (or oralis. 1 Most Republicans agree wilh Ihe man above - quoted, that these offices will nol lie up for grabs if Goldwater is Ihe Re publican nominee. Against Gold water, it is generally felt, John son ought lo get something like Ihe Connecticut majority thai Kennedy got last time, j Yet the Rockefeller remar riage continues to discourage parly support for him: and I everyone glumly asks, "Who else is there, except Gov. Scran Ion, who won't make a move?"

It is a hybrid not totally sat isfactory to anyone, the result of a marriage of former politi cal enemies with beliefs widely divergent on subjects ranging from wage and price control to NATO. But, conlrarily, its planners hope it will provide a stability generally lacking in 24 pre vious Italian governments. At its head is 47-ycar-old Christian Democrat Aldo Moro who as his party's secretary has been more accustomed to act as king-maker behind the scenes. At Moro's side as vice pre mier is 72-year-old Socialist Pietro Nenni, most of whose stormy career has been spent in opposition, much of it in al liance with the Communists. Their two parties, in coalition with the smaller Social Demo- ocrats and Republicans, make up the new government. It is a government with a comfortable majority in Italy's 630-member chamber of depu ties. But it is also a govern ment of many compromises and its existence will depend on the shaky loyalities of the extreme right within the Christian Dem ocrats' and of the extreme left within Nenni's badly split So cialists. Nenni won approval of parti cipation in the new govern ment by a vote of 59-40 within the party central committee. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (ci Fieid Enterprises, Inc. DETERRENT I was having lunch with three friends, all of whom are heavy cigarct smokers. The conversa tion turned to crime and punish ment, and all three felt quite strongly that what we need is stricter and more severe pun ishment of criminals in this country. When asked why, they agreed that it would act as a "deter rent." If criminals knew (hat they would be subjected to long and harsh punishment, they in sisted, such knowledge would deter Ihem from committing or repeating criminal activities. I laughed loudly and impo litely, and they turned on me with annoyance. I pointed to the cigarels we were all smoking furiously. "Tell me." I said, "docs what we know about ciga ret smoking deter us?" The plain lad nf the matter Is that Ihc need to commit crimes, like the need tn sus tain oneself on tobacco, is not rational. And it cannot easily be deterred by rational con siderations. Every cigarct ad dict knows this. Over the years, the "pun ishment" for cigarct smoking has heroine more severe. W here once we only suspected a health menace, now wc are practically certain that heavy smoking contributes to heart disease, lung cancer, and oth er grave illnesses. Vet at the same time thai nor knowledge of the penally has increased, our per capita consumption of cigarets has atso increased.

Sorrow In England To the Editor: As an ox-Med-fordite now living back in Eng land, I feel I must write and tell you how grieved we all are at the death of President Ken nedy. Myself, I regard it as a deep and personal loss. I remember how I sat up all night on elec tion night praying he would win, even though I could not vote. The people of England, or should I say Britain, are numb with shock and sorrow. Everywhere I go I am met with comments on the sheer senselessness of it. We can't help thinking that all was not done as it should have been to protect the President. The melodramatic has invaded the tragedy and we have wit nessed the shooting of the "al leged" murderer. It seems un real, as though we are watching a stark Hollywood drama. Even Mrs. Kennedy is not allowed to grieve her beloved husband in peace. Instead she is barraged by TV cameras and photographers' flash bulbs. Here, I think restraint should have been exercised and the poor, dear woman allowed Ihe privacy she needs at such a time. How are the "John Birchers" going to react to all this? We suspect that as soon as the first pains are easing they will jump in and make a hey day of the fact that the President was killed by a Communist. Will people iistcn to them and let themselves be fanned by their hate and venom? Or will they realize that President Kennedy was respected and trusted by the Russians and was looked upon as someone who really did want to end the never ending cold war? Oh! I could write hundreds and hundreds of words because my heart is full and I feel so helpless. Before closing I will say that the British are trying to learn all they can about President Johnson and are hope ful that he will be running his country on Ihe same lines as President Kennedy. 1 am yours sincerely. .Elizabeth A.

I On economic policy, the j Christian Democrats gave ground, agreeing to forego a wage or price freeze. The latter measure is one strongly favored by the Christian Democratic j right wing. All parties reportedly agreed on the urgent need to restore "Love thy enemy." For this was Jesus's precept. He lived and died by it to establish an ex ample for the future genera tions. We should observe the good qualities of men first. Perhaps detest what they stand for, but never dislike the person himself. In frequent instances we hate people because we don't know them; and because we hate them, we will never know them. How possibly could have Oswald been so treacherous toward the President when in actuality he clidn I really know him?

That, Venezuelan's foreign min ister . told reporters, means ARMED INTERVENTION, if necessary. That could lead to WAR in the Western Hemisphere. It could lead to WORLD WAR. When war starts, nobody knows how far il may spread. The shooting of an Austrian arch duke down in the Balkans start ed World War 1. But, President Belancourt pointed out, Castro's Cuba is a base from which it i,; designed to spread communism through out the Western Hemisphere. That, he adds, mustn't be per mitted.

' Ihe questions of internal sta- j bility and Italy's place in world ! affairs still lie ahead. that matter, how can we the people have so much resentment toward foreign nations, Con gressmen, Negroes, the fellow worker, or perhaps our own neighbor? Looking still further ahead we see Oswald is dead even before he confessed to this tragic thing. Once again we are confronted with this malevolence. In our own minds many wished to seek revenge on this man, to see him in deep malice would have been superb. In Washington, D.C., a group cheered when they re- cclvea lms uismai news, tie- venge ieccis upon itseii ana wb should remember "Two wrongs don't make a right." We are slowly executing our selves with this hatred while the Communist dominated coun tries settle back in an easy ! cl,air waiting for our own de struction. I feel very strongly thai it is the parent's responsibility to in struct their children on love, rather than processing this odious attitude. The answer lies there and we must try and be successful in conquering it. This strong feeling of antipathy must be destroyed in our society or it will soon be our own de struction.
