'Progressive Congress Wanted by Kennedy
HARRISBURG, Pa. — (UPI) — President Kennedy, opening his campaign for more Democrats in Congress, said last night the voters must decide whether the nation moves ahead or returns to what he called the "do-nothing government" of the Eisenhower administration.
Kennedy told a crowd of about 10,000 persons in a dirt-floored livestock arena here that the 87th Congress had not "measured up to all that I had hoped."
What is needed, he said, is a "progressive Congress — in short, a Democratic Congress."
THE PRESIDENT opened his formal fall effort to boost the House and Senate Democratic majorities at a $100-a-plate fund-raising dinner and television effort to back the gubernatorial candidacy of former Philadelphia Mayor Richardson Dilworth and re-election of Sen. Joseph Clark.
Speaking in the home state of his predecessor, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Kennedy did not mention him by name. But he said that it was indeed a "cold day" when he took office in January, 1961.
"The nation's engine was idling, he said. "Around the world the picture was even more dreary.
"IF THE DEMOCRATIC party is charged with disturbing the status quo, with stirring up the great interests and with daring to try something new, I intend to plead guilty."
The dinner in the exhibition hall of the state farm show grounds and a speaking program in the adjacent arena had the colorful air of a political convention. Brass bands blared and groups of pretty girls in straw hats roamed the aisles.
Kennedy got a big laugh at the outset by introducing himself as "Ted Kennedy's brother."
THE PRESIDENT was interrupted often for applause, and he reacted to the approval with the slashing, sometimes loudly urgent delivery of his 1960 campaign for the presidency.
After ticking off his complaints against the Eisenhower administration, Kennedy turned to his administration's record.
"Were I to tell you tonight that all is well, I would not be stating the truth," he said.
"But the facts of the matter are that progress has been made...and this country is moving forward again."
THE PRESIDENT promised that with more backers in Congress, the administration would enact such legislation as medical care for the aged and federal aid to education, which failed to get through the 87th Congress.
"To be sure, we did not obtain all that we asked," he said. "We lost

measures that must be passed in the future. But to give these measures a chance, we need more Democrats elected to secure their passage
"MORE IS AT STAKE than what party controls the Congress and the various state governments," Kennedy said. The American people on Nov. 6 must choose whether this nation is to sail or anchor down to deadlock and drift."
Upon arrival, he told an audience at the airport that "we saw today in the House...a very clear indication of why this election is so important.
"We passed in the House by five votes an agricultural bill which will save this country nearly a half billion dollars, as well as protect the economic rights of American agriculture; and we lost in the House a bill of assistance to higher education, and three-fourths of the Republican party voted against it."
