Heated Discussion Involves Kennedy
TOKYO — (UPI) — Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's Irish temper flared in a heated discussion with leaders of the leftist Sohyo Labor Federation today and he accused them of using a double standard in judging the United States and Communist countries.
"You have a complete misconception of what kind of government and what kind of people we are." Kennedy said.
He invited his main antagonist, Aikura Iwai, Secretary General of Sohyo, to visit the United States this spring.
KENNEDY MET THE LABOR leaders at a round-table discussion.
leaders at a round-table The heated part came when Kennedy asked the Soho leaders if they supported the Socialist Party's statement that Americans are a "group of imperialists."
"Is that the belief of Sohyo?" Kennedy said, raising his voice considerably and shaking his finger at Iwai.
Iwai said that the way Sohyo saw it, imperialism meant "monopolist capitalists" and not necessarily "sending soldiers with guns" such as happened in Cuba and Laos.
"WE ARE NOT very well impressed by the way Americans were doing in Cuba and Laos," Iwai said, hastily adding that he did not mean American soldiers had invaded these countries.
Kennedy shot back, "based on Tibet and Hungary do you consider Communist China and the Soviet Union imperialists?"
"I would say there were some racial mistakes concerned," Iwai said.
Kennedy told Iwai he apparently did not use the same standards in judging the United States and other countries.
"YOU KNOW THE United States as run by this administration is not
Kennedy also defended American trade policies and the actions against the U. S. Communist party. Although the meeting grew heated at the end it was a very friendly session on the whole and Kennedy listened with interest to the Sohyo arguments on trade, nuclear testing, Okinawa and the Japan-U. S. Security Treaty.

Visiting Professor To New Zealand
A visiting professor at KU this year has been invited to fill a visiting professorship at the University of New Zealand after he has completed the year at KU.
He is Prof. Fritz Martini, an authority on German literature and presently the chairman of the department of literature and aesthetics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Dr. Martini is a member of the executive committee of the German Academy of Science and a member of its special committee charged with bringing out a definitive edition of the works of the late Thomas Mann.
Kennedy to Ask Congress For Public Shelter Program
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Kennedy Administration today began its formal drive in Congress for a $400 million civil defense program to build public fallout shelters for 20 million Americans.
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara gave public details of the program. It would subsidize the construction of shelters in schools, colleges, hospitals, clinics and welfare institutions.
He proposed that the Federal Government underwrite about 62.5 per cent of the construction costs. The money would come from a $695 million appropriation previously requested by President Kennedy for Civil Defense.
In an accompanying letter, McNamara said: "Although there appears to be no practical program that would avoid loss of life during a nuclear attack, we can develop our program of civil defense to increase the number of people who can create the base for recovery after attack."
The Defense Department has already started a project to provide
20 million shelter spaces by July 1. However, McNamara said many of these will be of use only during working hours.

"The deficit in shelters can be made up by family shelters in basements or yards, group shelters in factories, hospitals, offices, apartment houses and other large buildings, and community shelters in schools and community centers," he said.
The subsidy program, however, would be limited to institutions operated by state or local governments or by non-profit organizations, and those engaged in public welfare activities, including education.
McNamara specified that not more than half the money would be used in the first year of operation.
He expressed hope that state and local governments, commercial and industrial concerns, and families and private groups would bear the cost of building and maintaining shelters where needed outside the federal programs.

Frost Better In Florida
The 87-year-old poet was reported in "quite satisfactory" condition today at Baptist Hospital. His temperature had returned to normal.
MIAMI — (UPI) — Robert Frost apparently is getting a well earned rest in a hospital where he is recovering from a bout with chest congestion and fever.
His secretary, Mrs. Theodore Morrison, said Frost had been working very hard before he became ill at his winter residence here.
Frost had been lecturing and working on a new collection of verse called In The Clearing due for publication on his 88th birthday, March 26.
"He doesn't like being sick, but I think he's enjoying the rest this time," Mrs. Morrison said.

WOULD YOU VOTE FOR A MAN WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN
Religion shouldn't be a political issue, says Richard Nixon — unless a candidate "has no religious belief." In this week's Post, Robert Bendiner challenges this attitude. In "The Voice of Dissent," he claims that agnostics can be more moral than church-goers. And points out that some of our greatest patriots didn't believe in God.
