Kennedy Uses To Get Across By JAMES MAKLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (APi - On "TV screens around the country Pres ident . Kennedy's news confer ences look quick and simple. They're quick. But they are not simple. He's now had six meetings with the press, enough to show at least this much: He follows a deliber ate pattern which he established himself; and his technique, much, more subtle, is still developing. This is the pattern: From the very beginning Ken nedy, who won election by a squeak, has used his news con ferences to get across an impres sion of himself as a man in mo tion. Example: The series of an nouncements he makes at the start of each conference. Wednesday there were eight, ranging from plans lor a White House reception to orders he has Dirksen Says GOP Gaining WASHINGTON (AP - The Re publican congressional leadership contended today the Kennedy ad ministration has lost its "sense of urgency and hurry" and that there is a resurgence of Repub lican strength around the country. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Il linois. Republican party leader, and Rep. Charles A.' Hallcck of Indiana, his counterpart in the House, also asserted at a news conference that President Kenne dy has not lived up to his cam paign promises. .Their meeting with newsmen was just after the weekly con ference of the Republican leader ship. Dirksen led off by saying the "sense of urgency and hurry" that accompanied Kennedy's first days in office "seems to have dimmed a little." particularly in the field of action to meet the recession. And Halleck said even Kenne dy's own economic experts are beginning to say things are look ing brighter.

All could have been announced by his press secretary, Pierre Salinger By doing this himself Kennedy stays in the public eye as a very busy President. He is, indeed, busy as his various programs and messages testify. The news conference announce ments, even though many are of secondary importance, add to til.: lotal impression. His technique: He handles himself easily, fluidly. and fluently. He's re!;:.- ' He's relaxed because he did his homework, knows v. hat he's talk ing about, took the trouble to in form himself belore conlrontms questioners. Two hallmarks of Prcsid.iu Eisenhower's news conferences were vagueness and generalities. This was particularly true in his early White House days. Kcnntd at most times is specilic. Eisenhower, because of his life time in the Army, didn't know government details well when nc look office. Kennedy has an ad vantage here: Because of his 14 vears in Congress, he knows gov: eminent uretty much inside out A good example of Kennedy's specific knowledge was in his statements Wednesday on federal aid to education. But his tech nique began to show a change Wednesday. The best example; again, was on federal aid to edu cation. While Eisenhower rambled. Kennedy usually has been direel and terse. Wednesday he was for the most part direct but les terse. He not only explained his thinking on federal aid at great : length, but did it repeatedly. U looked like' a' deliberate, planned effort to educate tlie pub lic, through press and radio, on the problem as he sees it: That, while federal aid lo public schools is needed, similar aid (o paro chial schools hits constitutional blocks. This change in technique long explanation which took up a lot of time gave newsmen less chance to ask varied questions and cover more ground. The re sult, from a news standpoint, was pretty dull. That ought lo give Kennedy something lo chi-w on. He can de feat his purpose educating the public on his viewpoint if, by long explanations he winds up diminishing public interest in what he has to say. of copper or white HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath I hihiii ,ii'MAAf ''iariii"i T iiii'iiiiiiHiiiiatti A STEERING COMMITTEE planning a junior high dance at the YMCA is composed of the youngsters pictured.
