In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Washington comes the news that President Kennedy will visit Ireland next month b u t won't visit the village o Blar ney, or Blarney Castle and so it lollows that he won t kiss the fa mous Blarney Stone. Why not? Two reasons arc offered: 1." Kissing the Blarney Stone in volves contortions that would be bad business for the President's back, which he strained in 1961 while planting a ceremonial tree in the course of a slate visit in 1961 to Ottawa, Canada's capital. 2. He doesn't need to kiss the Blarney'Stone, because he is ade quately gifted with blarney, any way. What is the Blarney Stone? It is a triangular stone located in the wall of Blarney Castle, about 20 feet from the top. It contains this inscription: "Cormac McCarthy fortis me fieri fecit, A D. 1446" a rough translation of which would be "strength makes Cormac McCarthy proud." How did it get its name and its fame? The legend goes like this: Back in 1602, one Cormac Mc Carthy, presumably a descendant1 o the McCarthy who carved the inscription on the stone some two and a half centuries earlier, con cluded an armistice with Lord Carew, the British Lord Mayor of the town of Blarney. Day after day. Lord Carew looked for the surrender of the castle accord ing to the terms agreed upon, but received nothing but soft speech-1 es each day. In time, he became the laugh ing slock of Queen Elizabeth's ministers and the dupe of the blar neying Lord of Blarney. One more question: Why is the kissing of the Stone of Blarney such a difficult feat as to make it inadvisable for those with weak backs? Well, the stone is imbedded in the outer wall of the castle, some three or four feet down from a floor, whose edge is perhaps a couple of feet from the castle wall. There is only one possible way to reach it with your mouth, L' you are bent on kissing it. You lie down on your back on the floor, with your head toward the wall. You grasp a couple of iron bars attached rigidly to the outer wall, and pull yourself backward until your head touches the wall. At this point, an attendant grasps your feet. You bend your head back sharply, in order to bring you upside down and face to face with the wall that con tains the stone. With the aid of the attendant who is gripping your ankles, you let yourself down un til your lips come opposite the stone, which you KISS. You are then dragged back up by the heels. Considering the state of our President's back, we must agree that he is wise in refraining from kissing the Blarney Stone. And- Lct os add He displays the wisdom of the serpent in staying away from the village of Blarney and its world famous castle. Someone in the party, you know, might DARE him to kiss the slone and. being a member of the physically oriented Kenne dy clan, he just might not find It w ithin the realm of possibility to back sway from the dare.

But other sources said that d spite this deliberate optimism the 81-year-old pontiff, stricken with a second attack of internal bleed ing within a week, is danger ously ill. The Pope remained lucid, how ever, and conferred twice Sunday and again this morning in his Vatican apartments with his sec retary of state, Amleto Cardinal Cieognani. Prof. Anionio Gasbarrini, the Syria, Iraq Fight Arab Union Plan BEIRUT. Lebanon ( L PI I Syria and Iraq's apparent second thoughts on Arab federation to day placed their proposed union with Egypt in serious doubt. Both nations' ruling Baath so cialist parties have given clear indications in recent weeks they are having misgivings about im plemenling the union plan reached in Cairo April 17. An abortive attempt during the weekend to overthrow the Bagh dad regime has heightened the difficulties. Anti-Baath sources here said they believed "only a miracle can now save the ambitious un ion plans which were to go into cflect by September. Fear Domination Observers believe the Baath leadership is delaying movements toward union because of fears they would fall under the domina tion of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel iNasser, who would be the president of the new United Arab Republic iU.A.R.1. They believe tlie Egyptian lead er s demand that they form national front governments is only a cover for the eventual easing out of their party. In recent tests between Baath and Nasser supporters in Iraq and Syria, the Baathists have won new strength. Reports from Baghdad have said the weekend trouble was en- ginecred by groups supporting Nasser. Earlier this month, se rious rioting between Nasserites and Baath supporters broke out Syria. Nasser Still Ktrnng But Nasser still enjoys strong1 support in his two potential part-. ners. according to observers here. and the struggle is by no means considered over.

Lnsoeld and Hornbein pushed on down in the pitch blackness "They kept yelling 'closer.' " Lnsoeld said. "We saw a vague black blur. Then we both fell into a crevas.se " They were not hurt and when they clambered out they stumbled into Bishop and Jerstad.

You must understand, you must understand, I can say noth ing," he told newsmen. A spokesman for the U.S. Em bassy said that so far as is known" President Kennedy stil plans to visit Rome and, if possi ble, have an audience with Pope John. Vatican sources said they also regarded the audience as still scheduled for late in June, depending, of course, on the state of tlie Pope's health at that time. Italian Premier Amintore Fan fani sent his undersecretary, I'm- bcrto Dclle, to the Vatican today to relay his best wishes for the Pope's speedy recovery. The Vatican newspaper Osscr- vatore Romano said "fervent prayer ... is rising in every part of the world ... for the intention of the supreme pastor." It said tlie Vatican was flooded with tel egrams from government officials and other persons. Osservalore Romano said the Pope wanted to appear at the window of his apartment Sunday to recite live Rcgina Coeli 'Queen of Heaven) prayer and bless pil grims in St. Peter's Square but his doctors persuaded him not to. 'The doctors attending the Pone have advised the holv father to rest and to limit as much as possible every physical activity, the paper said.

The comments came before F. F. Montgomery, R-Eugcne, House minority leader, announced w heth er he would sign the compromise reached Saturday afternoon by the Senate-House tax conference committee. Musa warned the proposed com promise faced a possible referral because of the elimination of fed eral income tax deductions, and because of (lie net receipts tax feature. He added he felt tlie proposed 4-cent a pack cigarette tax also would be referred. Musa said he did not think the $3 million kick back to cities would slop referral. Three Cents Suggested The Senate president said he would support a 3-cent a pack cigarette tax, and that he did not (eel that would be referred. Musa. obviously not pleased by the compromise plan, said he had not polled senators on bow they would receive it. He said lie had suggested an alternate compromise "in case of a donneybrook." The alternate would include a Ifi per cent "temporary education al tax" on top of the present rate schedule, a $5-$l0 minimum filing Ice, a 1 per cent increase in cor porate excise taxes for the next two years, and possible use of the one-shot withholding tax 6peedup lo raise live M million needed to finance a $405 million general fund budget.
