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.

81-year-old pontiff, stricken with
a second attack of internal bleed

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

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.

said the weekend trouble was en-
ginecred by groups supporting
