ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3D THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1968 Shrine Units J. T. Beirne, Golfer, Dies James Reston A Gift for Losing NEW YORK AT THE ART OF losing elections, few political organizations in the world can match the Republican party. They have lost seven of the last nine presidential races, and while the election of 1968 should be almost impossible for them to throw away, they might just manage it if If they do stagger and blunder to defeat this time, it will not be possible for them to say they were unlucky or couldn't see the danger signals.

The withdrawal of President Johnson, the death of Robert Kennedy, the continuation of an unpopular war in Vietnam, and the fierce divisions within the Democratic party have all worked in their favor. The popularity polls have been running clearly and consistently against their man. They show Vice President Humphrey beating Nixon, and Gov. John T. Beirne, one of this area's early golf professionals, and a former mayor of Creve Coeur, died last night of a heart attack at his home, 606 Fairways circle, Creve Coeur.

He was 67 years old. Mr. Beirne was taken to StJ John's Mercy i a 1 by a Town and Country police ambulance. He was pronounced dead on arrival shortly before midnight. He had been under the care of a physician since 1951, when a heart attack had forced him to end his golfing career.

He was a part owner of the Creve Coeur Golf Club and its first professional. He started his career in the mid-1920s. In recent years he had been managing the club. As a golfer he used the name of Jack Burns. Mr.

Beirne was elected mayor of Creve Coeur in 1954, serving a two-year term. He ran successfully again in 1958 and rein a i in office until 1966, when he was defeated by Harold L. Dielmann. A public park on Spoede road in Creve Coeur is named in his honor. He was a past president of the Eastern Missouri Section, Professional Golfers Association.

Senators Stuart Symington and Edward V. Long, Missouri Democrats, said it would help establish a comprehensive community health center at the hospital. Stewart W. Smith, director of the St. Louis County Library since it was established in 1946, will step down Monday to assume a new position of library consultant.

Smith, 63 years old, described the move as semi-retirement. Donell J. Gaertner, the current assistant director, will succeed Smith as director. "I had reached the point where I wanted to get, away from the day-to-day administration," said Smith. "The board and I discussed it and it was decided that I would become a consultant." Smith came to St.

Louis county from Lincoln, where he was head librarian of the Lincoln Public Library. In his tenure, the St. Louis County Library has grown from a small office operation i Normandy High School to its present status with a headquarters at 1640 South Lindbergh boulevard and eight branches. The County Library operates 25 bookmobiles and circulates more than 5,000,000 books a year. Gaertner has been assistant director since December 1963.

Before that, he served as the library's administrative assistant. dent of the American Institute of Architects at the conclusion of its convention here last night Kassabaum is a principal of the architectural firm of Hell-muth, Obata Kassabaum, which he joined 18 years ago.

The retiring president is Robert L. Durham of Seattle. pital The United States Public Health Service made a $42,058 grant for the study of the pathology and pathogenesis of immune complex disease. The work will be under the direction of Dr. Frederick Germuth chairman of the hospital's department of laboratory medicine.

A $63,455 contract was received for a study to develop a vaccine for primary atypical pneumonia, which is common among military recruits and meant by it "the whole effort to bring the natural world and the man-made world into harmony to bring order, usefulness and delight to our whole environment." Addressing architects specifically, she said, that "No one knows better than you that the loveliest building can be nullified if there is no sign control ordinance, or if it sits in a pocket of hazy, gray smoke." She asked architects to lead In doing something about "creating a design conscience in Rockefeller of New York beating Humphrey. The last Gallup Poll also shows Senator Eugene McCarthy running ahead of Nixon, and the Gallup Poll on the conduct of the war is clearly in favor of another bombing pause, in all of North Vietnam and in favor of bringing American troops home as the South Vietnamese are trained to replace them. YET THE MORE THE POLLS indicate the weakness of both Nixon and his war policies, the stronger he seems to get with the Republicans who will pick the party's nominee at Miami Beach in August. Republican voters, of course, tell Mr. Gallup that they would prefer to have Nixon handling the war than Humphrey, but when Gallup asked them if they would approve turning the war over gradually to the South Vietnamese and bringing American troops home in 100,000 lots as soon as each 100,000 South Vietnamese took over, 75 per cent of the Republicans said they would approve.

This was even higher than the national average of all voters, 71 per cent of whom approved a staged withdrawal from the war. It may be, of course, that Nixon is beginning to pay attention to this sentiment. He certainly did not persuade Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon, the most consistent Republican dove In the Senate, to support Nixon by repeating in private to Hatfield what Nixon has said about the war in public. ON THE RECORD, however, Nixon has actually managed to reverse the policy Gen. Eisenhower found so effective in promising to disengage American power from the Korean war.

In the campaign of 1952, which started the only Republican era of the last 36 years, Eisenhower said: "There is no sense In the United Nations, with America bearing the brunt of things, being constantly compelled to man those Korean front lines. We do not want Asia to feel that the white man of the west is his enemy." What Eisenhower was saying then is much closer to what Senator McCarthy is saying now than what Nixon is saying: "If we cannot win the war, at least let us not shed so much of our blood in that region," Gen. Eisenhower argued. "We must avoid the kind of bungling that led us into Korea and could lead us into others. They young farm boys must stay on their farms; the students must stay in school." Nixon, however, is still sticking on the hard line.

He is arguing for a military victory and against reductions in defense spending, and he may be right, but there is no evidence that American public opinion favors these themes, or that Nixon could preside over a peaceful era by following them. BEYOND THAT, THERE IS another point the Republicans may have to consider. The nomination of Nixon could help bring about a cease-fire in Vietnam but for an odd reason. There is no man in American political life the Russians distrust more than Nixon. If he were nominated, it is certainly not beyond the realm of possibility that they would really use all their influence on North Vietnam to bring about a ceasefire before the election.

But that would merely enable the Democrats to go to the polls saying the fighting was over, and thus enhance their chances of keeping the Republicans out of power for another four years. If the job of the next President of the United States is to get peace, and find the momentous sums of money needed to deal with the menace of the poor at home and abroad, this is likely to be done only by a substantial reduction in military expenditures, which in turn depends on greatly improved relations with the Soviet Union. Is Nixon the best man to win the election? To get peace? To negotiate a detente with Moscow? Maybe these are not the right questions, but if they are, the Republicans could be going in the wrong direction. C. L.

If SHOULD THEIR MOMENTUM continue in the run-off vote June 30, they will be powerful enough to whip reluctant followers into line and to penalize dissidents. Already one former Gaullist minister, Edgard Pisani, who broke away, has been voted into the dustheap. If the Gaullists consolidate their gains, the ambitious Valery Giscard D'Estaing, who has been trying to build himself up as a French Bobby Kennedy, will Buffer.

Giscard has stressed his youth (42) and his dissidence from certain Gaullist policies, working at the expense of the orthodox Georges Pompidou much as Senator1 Kennedy worked at the expense of the orthodox Hubert Humphrey. Pompidou'e own stance is now as solid as his square jaw and chunky figure. As of this moment he has no rivals for succession in the Gaullist power structure. If that power structure holds there isn't any reason why he shouldn't some day be both President and boss of France. THE PRIME MINISTER'S rise has been noteworthy.

He didn't lose his nerve during the May crisis provoked by student riots and a general strike and even his adversaries con-I cede he has du cran what we call guts. Although it was not widely known, Pompidou has quietly built up a personal machine within the Gaullist apparatus, a network that extends around France. France is gradually shifting from what was almost one-man authority to more of a team structure at the political apex. It is indicated that Maurice Couve de Murville, the cool, hard-working former Foreign Minister who is now in charge of France's scrambled finances, seems increasingly likely to move into Pompidou's office at the prime ministry on that still relatively distant day when Pompidou goes to the Elysee. If this analysis proves accurate it will demonstrate a welcome novelty in French history.

In times past, when an outstanding leader has risen to dominate France, his departure has left behind a vacuum.
