Undents on the national scene
and does not necessarily reflect
JtAM policy or position.
Washington, D. C. —The Ken
nedy Administration is' losing
no time in seeking to start its
major legislative"" proposals
Through Congress.
Even before Mr. Kennedy was
inaugurated as President, his
Senate associates sought to
speed a depressed areas measure
toward enactment by giving less
than 24 hours notice of hearings.
This extraordinary procedure
was promptly challenged by
those who wanted opponents of
the legislation given a chance
to present their views. Sena
tor Bennett (R-Utah) contended
this did not provide him suffi
cient feme to prepare questions
to- ask witnesses.
But the hearings went ahead
as scheduled by Senator Doug
las (D-Ill.), chairman of the Sen
ate Banking subcommittee on
Production and Stabilization.
However, opponents were given
a few additional days to pre
pare their presentations.
Depressed areas appears to be
the number one item on Presi
dent Kennedy’s legislative pro
gram thus far. He made repeat
ed promises during his campaign
that quick congressional action
would be sought.
But a broad variety of other
/legislation also is being push
ed. Task forces he appointed
have reported on more than a
score of national issues—all po
tentially involving legislation,
and many more studies are un
der way.
What success President Ken
nedy has in,obtaining this legis
; lation depends upon a number of
facts, including:
1. The extent to which Mem
bers of Congress are convinced
that the legislative proposals are
good or bad for the nation, a
Unless substantial opposition
Is recorded, it is regarded as
inevitable that a depressed areas
bill will be passed by Congress
and signed into law by Mr. Ken-.
. nedy. y
This same situation is threat
ened —though perhaps to a lesser
extent —with respect to a num
ber of other measures pushed
by the new President. Unlike
(he Eisenhower Administration,
there will be no presidential ve
to stop legislation opposed by
|RMrhe strength of tfie coalition
of Southern Democrats and Con
servative Republicans in the
Senate and the House.. President
Kennedy, fecognieed as an ex-
I majority of the people back
I home favor or oppose certain
legislation and make their
views known on Capitol Hill—
their attitude is certain to be
I reflected to u considerable ex
tent in congressional action.
But, before the people back
I home can make up their minds
i on legislation, they must first be
* given the facts upon which a
judgment can be based.
A pretty good insight into the
r depressed areas problem is pro
; virled by a quip that has become
5* popular in some circles in Wash
ington. It goes like this:
i Harvard University is going to
5 be declared a depressed area
) (because President Kennedy has
k depopulated it by.'bringing sol
j many professors to Washington)
and the federal government is
, going to tax Yale and Prince
rlion to subsidize Harvard.
This quip is being used by
. conservatives to point out that it
. is illogical and economically un
[ feasible to penalize taxpayers
. from other sections to provide
; federal subsidies for depressed
areas—when local responsibility
[ is the key to any enduring suc
. cess.
The major bill under consid
! eration in the Senate is by Sena
tor Douglas, to authorize $390
million in federal grants andj
loans to aid in establishing sac-!
tories „and public facilities in
, areas of high unemployment.
Senator Kennedy was a strong
supporter of this measure last
year when, in modified form, it
was vetoed by President Eisen
hower. The Senate approved
$390 million, but the amount was
reduced by the House to $25
million before the measure went
to the White House. The Sen
ate failed to override the veto.

Dr. Hardin said it is not ne
cessary for a prospective donor

not affect the desirability of ob

that the older a person, usually

Washington Those of us
who witnessed the inaugural
oath by President Kennedy at
the Capitol were part of a drama
that has always fascinated men
everywhere who see democracy
in action. Kennedy as the 35th
occupant of the White House
demonstrates anew the strength
and the union which binds this
country into the greatest of all '
nations.
Tar Heels A host of North
Carolinians were on hand at the
Capitol for these ceremonies.
This year’s festivities were prob- j
I ably the most colorful ever. Led
by Parade Grand Marshal, Lt.
General James M. Gavin, war
time commander of the famed
82nd Airborne Division, more
than 33,000 civilian and military
marchers participated in the 1961 j
Presidential Inaugural Parade. I
North Carolina, like all the oth- j
er states of the union, sent its j
sons and daughters to partici
pate in the parade.
Committee Meetings Most of |
I my time not spent in the Sen-i
i ate debates has been used re-i
' cently in attending meetings of
the Senate Armed Services Com- j
| mittee and the Senate Judiciary!
Committee. The latter held
hearings on the appointment of
Robert Kennedy for the cabinet
post of Attorney General. De- j
spite charges of inexperience by]
some critics, I urged his confir- ]
mation because I believe that!
the President should have the'
I power to pick his advisers. I;
