Page 2 University Daily Kansan Wednesday, May 8, 1963 Rockefeller's Marriage Those who are supposed to know about such things appear unable to agree on the effect Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's recent marriage will have on his chances for the presidency in 1964. Quite a few blue noses turned a little bluer when the governor and the first Mrs. Rockefeller were divorced last year. Now that Rockefeller has married the VERY recently divorced Margaretta Murphy, the same noses that turned a little bluer last year are glowing in the dark. It appears somewhat less than likely that this glow will light the way to a Rockefeller presidential victory in 1964, not that Rockefeller was heir apparent to the throne anyway. SOME POLITICAL seers say Rockefeller's marriage will cost him votes if he gets the Republican presidential nomination, but others say that he would have lost more votes by being unmarried. Either way, he would have lost some votes. Which way would have lost more votes? An uninformed guess probably is about as good as any in the absence of any sure means of calculation. About all that can be said with any degree of certainty is that Rockefeller's controversial private life is not very private and it is bound to have SOME effect on his critical career. Determination of what this effect will be must follow the derivation of some sure-fire formula that gives the voters' reaction to this specific situation. And if anyone has such a formula, at least one that actually works, he is keeping it well hidden. The so-called "dark horses" for the Republican presidential nomination are not quite so dark since Rockefeller's private life has become so controversial. But while Rockefeller obviously is campaigning for the nomination, there is reason to doubt that the dark horses want it in 1964. In 1960 Nixon nearly beat Kennedy, and Rockefeller probably would have if he had been nominated instead of Nixon. But the chances that anyone can beat Kennedy in 1964 appear rather slim. ALTHOUGH KENNEDY has had his problems, he pulled a big public opinion coup with the Cuban blockade and the hard line policy with Khrushchev. Of course, there could be another Bay of Pigs fiasco just before the 1964 election, but it hardly seems likely that Kennedy will take any chances of that magnitude near an election. The Republicans have about as much chance in the 1964 presidential race as the proverbial snowball. The only real question is which Republican will be led to the sacrificial altar. This makes the furor over Rockefeller's marriage appear to be a factor of only minor significance in the 1964 presidential election. — Dennis Branstiter “—— Married Her, He Did, And Both Divorced And All ——” @.x3 HERBLOCK THE WASHINGTON POST Kennedy Strives For Balanced Foreign Policy By Jerry Musil Containment of the Communist advance has been the main point of American foreign policy since 1947, when the United States first recognized the danger of communism to its national security. And the situation remains the same under the Kennedy administration. But John F. Kennedy has made some substantial changes in that policy. From the very beginning of his term in office, the President made it clear that foreign policy would receive a major portion of his time. "On the American coat of arms, the American eagle holds in his right talon the olive branch, while in his left he holds a bundle of arrows. We intend HE ALSO made it clear to Congress that he would not favor economic aid over the military aspect of foreign policy. He said, in his first report to Congress: to give equal attention to both." give equal attention to both. He has done just that. He has budgeted more money to missile and weaponry development, instituted a reorganization of the Army Reserve and the National Guard, increased the number of combat-ready troops and has emphasized guerrilla warfare training. ON THE foreign aid side, he has again increased his request for funds. The most noteworthy of these have been the Alliance for Progress in Latin America and the request, although defeated, for authority to disperse aid on a long-term instead of a year-to-year basis. Kennedy's emphasis on foreign relations can be seen in his appointments. Dean Rusk, secretary of state, Adlai Stevenson, ambassador to the United Nations and John Galbraith, ambassador to India, are just a few of his internationally minded appointments. He has changed the viewpoint BOOK REVIEWS THE WARDEN, by Anthony Trollope (Doubleday Dolphin, 95 cents)—One of the most delightful and enduring novels of the Victorian era is this little book by Anthony Trollope. It is simple to read and discerning in its portraits of society. "The Warden" was Trollope's first successful novel, and it offers an accurate story of clerical life. Its central character is Warden Harding, a person worth remembering. Trollope chose the small towns of England for his setting, as Dickens chose London, and provincial life is well-chronicled in this book. THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS and THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK, by Lewis Carroll (Doubleday Dolphin, 95 cents)—Readers of all ages have enjoyed and will enjoy this classic, which appears in particularly enjoyable and enduring format in this Dolphin volume. "Through the Looking-Glass" continues the wonderful adventures of Alice, and "The Hunting of the Snark" is pure nonsense in rhyme. The English language probably has produced nothing comparable to the works of Lewis Carroll. * * --of American foreign policy from primarily halting Communism to one of helping the underdeveloped countries of the world gain stability to ward off any thrust made by international Communism. He feels, not only that it is in the interest of the United States, but that the American people have a moral duty to help other people in the world. He follows what has been called social politics. THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, by Baroness Orczy (Doubleday Dolphin, 95 cents)—Swashbuckling derring-do is at its best in this fine tale, which has been a standard for several generations. It is a story of the French Revolution, and of the mysterious Englishman who continually swoops down to rescue persons convicted during the Reign of Terror. No matter that the tale is fantastic, and that some of the characters are two-dimensional at best. The book endures for its excitement, its imagination and its wit. HE BELIEVES that American security is tied very closely to the development of the backward countries, both pro-Western and neutralist. He says that the United States must help these countries or lose out to communism. In the two years plus of the Kennedy administration, the subject of foreign policy usually conjures up pictures of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the acceptance of a "trolika" in Laos or the more recent slap at American interest in European affairs by Charles de Gaulle. Successes in foreign policy are hard to list for Kennedy. His failures, and criticism of these, have received the biggest headlines. But the biggest success would have to be the bend he put into the foreign policy of John Foster Dulles and the adoption of the first meaningful program of aid to Latin America. DULLES WAS a two-side man. Countries were either pro-West or pro-Communist. Neutralism did not exist. Dulles also was anxious to please his friends. He felt that the United States should be everything to everybody. The United States would rather abstain or vote against Angolan and Algerian independence than anger our NATO allies, Portugal and France. Kennedy, on the other hand, feels that the United States must be unpopular with some countries in order to effectively lead the free world. One example of Kennedy's policy being against an ally is the Congo situation. He feels that Katanga must be united with the central government and the riches distributed evenly, or the Congo will be bankrupt with a very good chance of takeover by radical elements. Secretary of State Dean Rusk has stated that the goals of U.S. foreign policy are: 1. To deter or defeat aggression at any level, whether of nuclear attack or limited war, subversion or guerrilla — "Security through Strength." 2. TO BRING about a closer association of the more industrialized democracies of Western Europe, North America and Asia, specifically Japan, in promoting the prosperity and security of the free world—"Progress through Partnership." 3. To help the less developed areas of the world carry through their revolution of modernization without sacrificing their independence or their pursuit of democracy — "Revolution of Freedom." 4.

To strive tirelessly to end the arms race and reduce the risk of war, to narrow the areas of conflict with the Communist bloc, and to continue to spin the infinity of threads that bind peace together—"Peace through Perseverance." KENNEDY HAS followed the general policy of containment, but has not been 100 per cent effective. An example is Cuba—containment would not have allowed a Communist takeover—as it is, the government halts the Communist advance by halting the military buildup. The ideology is allowed to remain, but military weapons must go. When Kennedy's foreign policy views were made known, opinions varied widely. The Republicans decried the increased costs. But world leaders praised the change in U.S. thinking. He says that the Americans help the poor if they are to save the rich. And he emphasizes, time and again, that it is a moral duty of the United States to help these countries, and not just a means of halting communism. Kennedy's pets in the foreign aid field appear to be Africa and Latin America. He believes that a stable government and flourishing economy are the biggest weapons a country can possess to thwart a Communist takeover. KENNEDY HAS given a needed change to American foreign policy. He has committed the United States to a development program many times bigger than the Marshall Plan. He has taken it upon himself to inform the U.S. voter of the need for this program. It is one of the major projects of his administration—the development of the world so that stable democratic governments can be established.
