JULY 2.7, 1962 ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH 3C WALTER LIPPMANN Kennedy Must Stimulate Economy Republican seats. I do not see how it can be that the resistance Congress, which involves about 8 third of the Democrats 1 and about all the Republicans, rests on powerful and stubborn feelings among the voters. Nobody knows, I suppose, what is the actual division of the voters between those who want the reforms and Kennedy. innovations and THE REPUBLICANS ARE, I believe, right when they say that in his relations with Congress the President's problem is how to rally to his domestic program the large Democratic majorities in both houses.

Moreover, this problem will remain if in November the Democrats have a success in that they do not lose any seats and even if they have a triumph and capture five or 10 be enemy, but that it is a corrupin ter of the people's morals. These are the main sources of the opposition to big government and big spending. This opposition cannot, I believe, be overtrying to win the votes come. bye beneficiaries of a welfare measure like Medicare. Indeed, such concentration on welfare measures obscures and distorts the meaning of Mr.

Kennedy's election and of the New Frontier. MEDICARE, for example, is highly desirable. But it should not be made the crucial issue on which the fate of the Administration is staked. The crucial issue in 1960 between the Democrats and President Eisenhower turned on the charge that the American position and influence in the world needed to be reinforced and that, to do this, the American economy would need to be revivified. The primary goals of the Kennedy Administration were to make the country stronger for war and for peace, and the key to that greater strength was to turn a stagnant economy into a moving economy.

On Monday at his press conference the President confessed that his Administration had "not been able to develop an economic formula" to increase the rate of economic growth. Why not? Not because a formula cannot be found. There are several variants of the formula being applied successfully in Western Europe today. The formula has not been found because it calls for measures which the conservative opposition rejects absolutely. Thus the sluggish economy, burdened down by the great expenditures for defense, welfare, and development, in its turn prevents the Administration from adopting a formula to overcome the sluggishness of the economy.

The fact that we are not moving increases the will to stand pat. THERE IS, of course, only one way in which the President can induce the Congress to give him the measures to get the economy moving. That is by going to the people and persuading large numbers of them that in a revivified and dynamic economy lies their best and their only hope of carrying comfortably the necessary burden of defense and the inescapable burden of welfare and development in our rapidly changing society, IMMEDIATE FREE INFORMATION CONFIRMATION TICKETING "St. Louis' Most Traveled Travel Agents" BLITZ TRAVEL WORLD SERVICE, INC. 567 North South Rd.

at Delmar PA. 1-7800 PA. 1-5800 Blitz-Travel those who do not want any more federal spending and federal activity. The resistance must, I should guess, be near to half the voters. For it is, I believe, an unwritten rule of our Constitution that important reforms and innovations will fail unless they command at least a two-thirds majority.

The real question is why SO large a part of the public has become, in Senator Goldwater's sense of the word, conservative. The primary reasons are, I believe, earthy, not high-falutin and ideological. The antagonism to government, which at the extreme is rancorous, has its main source in resentment against taxes, especially the visible direct taxes, levied to pay for a huge military establishment and for the civil welfare and development programs of the federal, state, and local govern- THE TAX BITE is resented because it hurts, and it hurts because we have for some years been paying for defense, welfare, and development out of a sluggish economy. The hurt expresses itself in a general feeling that government, especially the Washington Government, is a kind of enemy alien, and that it should be cut down to size. The resentment over the tax bite is aggravated by the chiseling and the corruption and the injustices which turn up in the administration of the big spending program--defense contracts, farm price supports, stockpiling, unemployment relief, public assistance, etc.

Even though the scandals are on the fringes, there are enough big and little scandals in almost every town and village to nourish the feeling that government is not only an ART MUSEUM Forest Park CHILDREN'S FILM PROGRAM "Toby Tyler" See this wonderful motion picture with the gaiety and excitement of the Big Top.

Under the auspices of the Eight Churches of Christ, Scientist, St. Louis There will be a nursery for the children ALL ARE WELCOME 3 DOCTORS DISCUSS RADIATION HAZARDS They Agree That It Is Difficult to Determine Harmful Level. Hazards of radioactive fallout were discussed last night by a panel of St. Louis area health authorities.

They agreed only that there exists no safe threshold of radiation intake. On the basis of available scientific data, the three doctors concluded, there is no foolproof method of determining at what exact level radiation exposure becomes biologically or genetically About 75 persons, including several physicians, attended the meeting at Heman Park Community Center, sponsored by the St. Louis chapter of the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy. Panel members were Dr. C.

H. Eller, St. Louis county health commissioner; Dr. Mark Eagleton, member of the St. Louis Medical Society's committee on radiation, and Dr.

Malcolm Peterson, assistant professor of medicine in the Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Eagleton, a radiologist, stressed that present studies indicate no need for any preventive measures. Conceding that "there is probably no safe dosage of anything-including Dr. Eagleton said that atomic fallout contributes only 1.6 per cent of the natural background exposure while television receivers give up to 2 per cent.

In response to a question by a mother in the audience, Eagleton suggested that worried parents could easily eliminate their fears of radiation by not feeding milk to their children for a few days. He insisted, however, that the measure was unnecessary. He noted that adults and children who are dental patients would receive radiation dosage from X-rays measuring 20 times the total received from fallout the remainder of the year. Dr. Eller reviewed the monitoring procedures by the city and county health departments to maintain current information of radiation fallout in the area.

The reports show there has been no appreciable increase in strontium 90 here because of the current nuclear tests, he said, He said several countermeasures are available for all types of fallout material which could be implemented well in advance of a danger period. Dr. Peterson asserted that was "personally concerned" about radiation fallout despite the lack of scientific agreement as to what constitutes the danger point. The Health Departments of St. Louis and St.

Louis county reported today that average gross radioactive fallout in air samples here has remained low since May 23. Radioactive levels in samples of city and county tap water remained low also, the departments said. The radioactive iodine 131 content of the St. Louis area milk increased last week, after dropping the week before to the low. est level recorded since May 23, Average content for the week was 33.5 micromicrocuries in each liter of pooled milk, compared to an average of 14.7 for the week before.

Highest reading in the week was 38.6 and the lowest reported was 26. WILLIAM E. PRICE FUNERAL MONDAY; CITY POLICEMAN Funeral services for William E. Price, a member of the St. Louis Police Department for more than 20 years, will be at 8:30 a.m.
