WASHINGTON — Two things stand out
after watching congress in the past few
weeks.
1. It is dominated by the conservatives
of both parties.
2. Sens. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon
B. Johnson have been about as comfort-
able as a pair of polar bears in a turkish
bath.
Since the Democrats outnumber the Re-
publicans overwhelmingly in both house
and senate, Johnson and Kennedy might
have expected the climate to be more

Conferences Blocked
Take education. The Democratic plat-
form promised federal aid for school con-
struction and teachers’ salaries. Before
the convention both houses had acted on
a federal aid to education bill.
The senate passed one providing $1,800,-
000,000 over two years for school con-
struction and teachers’ salaries. The
house - passed bill authorized $1,300,-
000,000 over four years but only for con-
struction.
Again the house rules committee comes
into the picture. Because the two bills dif-
fered, representatives of both houses
would have to confer and compromise on
a single bill. The rules committee has
blocked such a conference.

Medical Aid Cropped
Take the medical care bill. The Dem-
ocratic platform promised—as part of the
social security system—to provide medi-
cal care for the aged.
Before the conventions, the house
passed a minimum kind of medical care
bill providing mostly for poverty-stricken
older people.
When congress returned, Kennedy and
Johnson fought to have the senate make
good on the Democratic platform promise.
They lost because 19 southern Demo-
crats joined the Republicans in turning
them down. The Democrats had already
voted solidly to reject a Republican plan
offering a different kind of broader bene-
fits.
The senate then passed a minimum kind
of bill, too, and a compromise of the two
limited versions was ready for passage
Friday.

In his own address, Ken-

Kennedy said he was proud
to be a member of the VFW
when he arrived here in De-
troit and learned that the
convention had adopted a
resolution calling for in-
creased defensive strength.
He said the resolution
showed courage, conviction
and "loyalty to all we hold

Kennedy said he would like

This was one of the cam-

date made during a some-
times serious, usually breezy
appearance Thursday night
on Jack Paar’s show on
NBC-TV.
Nixon took in stride a
question based on President
Eisenhower's remark that
while Nixon is a principal
adviser “no one can make a
decision except me.” Some
took this as a blow at Nix-
on’s major contention that
his executive participation
in the top levels of the Ei-
senhower administration en-
titles him to promotion to
the presidency.
Nixon said "The president
stated the case exactly and
correctly” for his admini-
stration—and, properly, any
administration.
But Nixon added he has
had the "very great privi-
lege” of being asked for his
opinion and "participating

Whole Country Watches
Kennedy, the Democratic presidential
candidate, and his vice presidential run-
ning mate, came back here with the whole
country watching to see how much they
could make good on the Democratic cam-
paign platform promises. They were re-
buffed again and again.
Meanwhile Kennedy's opposite number
on the Republican ticket, Vice President
Richard M. Nixon, had the luxury of being
able to keep his mouth shut and just,
watch without getting too much mixed up
publicly in what happened. There was a
good reason for this:
As vice president he can't take part in
the debate. All he can do is preside over
the senate and vote only to break a tie
vote on the floor.
