Congressional Record One of the nation's most curious periodicals is the Congressional Record. It is often quoted by people who wish to make a point, on the theory that anything that appears in a publication with such an authoritative-sounding name must be authoritative. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Record is a mish-mash of debate, offi cial records, prayers, eulogies, correspondence, editorials, articles, even poetry anything, in short, which any member of. either House of the Congress wants to get "on the record." M LIAVIXG nothing better to do one recent eve ning, we took a copy home with us, curled up in a chair, and went through it. Note we did not say "read it," although we read a good deal, there is far more than an evening's read ing in an average issue. In this issue (for Nov. 26) there were 132 pages of the body of the book (from page 21599 to 21731; page numbers continue from issue to issue throughout a session of Congress) and 26 pages of Appendix, plus five or six pages of directory and proceedings. (The appendix is a catch-all where members can print articles, speeches, etc., ad nauseam.) Most of it is printed in Vfa point type (slight ly smaller than that used in Mail Tribune news stories), but much of it is in 6'i point type (slightly larger than that used in Mail Tribune bowling scores, markets and classified ads). It contains a lot a LOT of reading material. OSTENSIBLY, the body of the Record is a ver batim transcript of the daily proceedings of the House and Senate. (To spare tender Congres sional feelings, the House comes first one day, the Senate first the next day.) In actuality, it is almost impossible to tell exactly what did transpire, except in very gen eral terms. Some of the speeches printed in the Record have never been uttered in the halls of Congress, but are there as "an extension of re marks." Each member of Congress sees a proof of his part in the day's debate, and may edit or revise it as he sees fit. Therefore, the Record often records what a member wishes he'd said, instead of what he did say. ' IN THE Senate, particularly, it is difficult to get any coherent idea of the proceedings, because the Senate dearly cherishes the right of Senators to say anything they want to, and at about any time. Thus a debate on the merits of the Library Services Act may be going along interminably 1 (from pace 21601 to page 21613) when, all of a sudden, up pops a resolution to pay the ex- sceas M"'; penses ot the Senate committee attending tne funeral of President Kennedy. This attended to, by unanimous consent, the debate continues. Because the Senate has no limit on debate, the portion of the Record devoted to its pro ceedings usually is considerably fatter than that recording happenings in the House.

This is all that real ly matters in a time of painful transition like Hie present one THE TRANSFER OF POWER Last week has taught us how right was President Kennedy when he chose Lyndon 'Johnson as his running mate. His choice was not only the smartest kind of politics, it was most discern ing and wise. Almost certainly Kennedy could not have won without Johnson. But there was more than shrewdness in the choice. As we know from insiders at the time, Kennedy regarded his great rival as the man, were he himself to fail, who was best qualified to be President. That judgment has been well vindi cated by the smoothness and sureness, by the natural as sumption of authority, with which the transfer ot power took place. It would have been impossible to make more convincing Lyn don Johnson's dedication to the aims and aspirations of the Ken nedy administration. There can be no question ot the depth ana the sincerity of his intention to continue" what, Kennedy began. He took over at once the legis lative program, the same party strategy for 1964, and he has made it quite clear tnat ne wants President Kennedy's ad visers to stay with him. But having taken heart from all that, we have in all piety and reverence to remind our selves that intentions do not govern the world. John F. Ken nedy never had that kind of soft illusion. Intentions must con front the course of history, which is insensitive and unfeel ing. WE SHALL be wrong, there fore, it we look upon the Kennedy policies as i( they were an architect's plans (or a build inc which is begun, but only partly completed. The truth is persuasiveness or that he was not a shrewd enough political manipulator. It is that we have come again into one of those periods, recurrent in our history atter the exertions of war, when the Presidency is diminished. stands astride both ancient and modern times. More than half its population is illiterate. Ero sion is eating away the topsoil of its farmlands and unem ployed peasants are flocking to mushrooming cities. Despite $4 billion in aid, Tur key still is unable to carry it sel(. And between the peasants, resenKul that they now must pay taxes to help Turkey help hcrseK, and students and young officers impatient at the slow pace of Turkey's revolution. there is generated a tension which leads to a perpetual state of crisis or near crisis. The problem is not one of en croaching communism but one strictly made-in-Turkey. From the regime of the de posed and later executed Pre mier Adnan Menderes, Turkey inherited galloping inflation and the headaches left by pell-mell but unplanned industrialization. Two attempted military coups failed but political unrest has continued to mount. Finally, in last month's local elections the opposition Justice party emerged the chief winner and this week Premier Ismet Inonu, Turkey's 79-year-old link with Ataturk, stepped down. The Justice party widely is regarded as the heir to the out lawed Democratic party which iniEN President Kennedy ' ' tried to pull his countrymen across the New Frontier, he found the mass of the people too tired from the hot and cold war, too deafened by the high sounding and impersonal public generalities, too absorbed in the was led by Menderes and tra- return to their private lives, ditionally favored the Turkish Enormously popular though he farmers from whom it drew its tain at best was, he could not arouse in the people the energy to propel them across the New Frontier. In foreign affairs, President Kennedy's crucial experience was to learn that American in fluence in the world, and, there fore, the President's influence, were diminished as compared with what they were in the 1940s and the 1950s. When he ran for office in 1960, he affirm ed without questioning any im portant part of it the postwar iegacy in foreign affairs. He would achieve its objectives more efficiently. With one great exception, this has not been done for the reason that it could not be done. He achieved on thing brilliant ly, which is changing the course of events, and that has been to convince the Soviet Union that it must perforce, and that it can comfortably and honorably, live within a balance of power which is decidedly in our favor, for that John F. Kennedy will long be remembered. farmer's rising discontent, the Justice party centered its fire on the new taxes necessary to pay for Turkey's ambitious five year development program. Since Inonu opposes a coali tion with the Justice party which also is regarded with suspicion by the Turkish mili tary, Turkey now seems des tined for an extended period of political uncertainty at a par ticularly unfortunate time. Turkey's development p r o gram still is in its first year and is at a critical stage. The first year has been de voted to road construction, communications, harbor facili ties, schools and clinics. They were necessary b u t were not immediate income producers. To pay for them taxes were raised and must be raised again if an ambitious program to invest more than another billion dollars in the Turkish economy in 1964 is to be realized. Included are plans to in crease oil production, the man ufacture of a new oil pipeline and plants to manufacture fer tilizer, plastics and synthetic rubber. Turkey needs an annual in crease of 7 per cent in her gross national product if she is to keep ahead of an annual population growth of 4.5 per cent.

Perhaps he could have extracted from Congress a lax bill and some civil rights legis lation. Most probably, the gen eral peace of the world would have been maintained. But to realize what the new President must face, we must begin with the brutal fact that the big hopes and promises of the New Frontier are at a standstill. It will be a political miracle i( President Johnson can lift the congressional blockade on Ihe New Frontier at home, if he can restore to the executive that national leadership which is always present when the American system of govern ment works well. For what has Strictly Personal By Sidney J. Hrri (c) Field Enterprises. Inc. OUT the story is different -L when we look at the big pro jects devised on the assumption which is out-of-date, that, be cause the United States is the ultimate protector of the peace, it is also the appointed leader of the non-Communist world. There are the grand design for Europe, the strengthening of NATO, the Alliance for Progress in Latin America, the stabiliza tion of the status-quo in South Asia: these projects of world leadership by the United States were all in disarray when Presi dent Kennedy was assassinated. They have been overtaken by events, and President Johnson is going to have to do what Presi dent Kennedy would have had to do which is to review and re vise our policies. This will have to be done in the light of a re appraisal of the facts. ror experience, which comes from everywhere, tells us in sistently today that, though we are a great power, we are no longer, as we were in the post war era of the 1940s and the 1950s, the paramount power in world affairs. PERSONAL PREJUDICES There is a certain prevalent type of pseudo-religious person who not only feels that repentance washes out past sins but also gives sanction for future ones, so that each act of repentance somehow buys "credit" for tomorrow transgressions. People arc neatly divided into (hose who (alk about things they don't tlo, and those who do things they don't talk about: and society conies down hard only on those rash enough to try to combine (lie two. Shaw said so many true and wonderfully witty things that it's a pity one of his silliest remarks is the most often quoted that "youth is such a wonderful thing, it's a shame to waste it on children" for in the first place, youth is also a time of trials and errors which we mercifully forget as We grow older; and. in the second, it is not at all wasted on children, but would be utterly wasted on adults. Speaking of children, it appalls me to see so many mothers holding their small children in the front scat of the car with Ihein. while the father drives; they would not permit the chil dren to sii on the edge of a second-story porch, yet this "suicide seal" in an automobile is far more dangerous. The three most important problems facing the 20th Century, in my opinion, are (1) Automation, (2) Population explosion, and (3) Peaceful use of atomic energy; and while the world quarrels about outmoded political and economic concepts, none of these problems is being realistically attacked by any nation or combination of powers, who are still slopping through the mire of 19th century Machtpolitik. Of all traits, I find that of giving unsolicited advice Ihe most offensive especially since the chronic advice-giver is usually a person whose poor judgment and rigid convictions have made a mess of his own life. A father tinkering with his motor was asked by his little boy what a certain part was; "Never mind!" I heard the father say, and the boy slunk away; ten years from now, the father will wonder why the boy never minds. A person who is sick and cheerful arouses our admiration, while one who is healthy and sad excites our contempt; how ever, if wc could realize that, wilh (he laltcr, sadness is their sickness, wc might be more sympathetic toward their unattrac tive ailment.
