Generalizing Overdone Altogether fitting and proper is the agonized soul- searching that occurs in the aftermath of President Kennedy's brutal assassination. But generalization plainly is being carried too far with respect to much of the nonsense being repeated in this connection. Patently fanciful and unjust is the attempt to impute collective responsibility for the bloody recent events to the entire populations of.

Dallas, the state of Texas or the United States. The slayer of President Kennedy was an avowed Marxist" by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald. The slayer 'of Oswald Was Jack Ruby, a night club operator. These simple facts ought to be kept firmly in mind. The effort to diffuse responsibility becomes vicious when it implies that the assassination wouldn't have occurred if the people in one part of the country had been as pure in heart as people elsewhere in the country.

If this kind of recrimination becomes widespread the president's tragic death may result in deeper bitterness and division. A great-many of the New Frontier's policies and programs were genuinely controversial. It was inevitable that differences should be argued intensely. Representative government rests on the people's familiarity with the issues. This was an essential part of the political scene that John F.

Kennedy understood completely. To impute responsibility for (he president's death to deepening national controversy over his policies is to suggest that all discussion of public issues should be suspended lest it inflame some unstable individual to violence. But course in that case it wouldn't be possible 'for the nation to function any longer under a system of representative government. Public understanding of the issues is basic in any elective system. In the confused aftermath the field is wide open for all manner of suspicion, recrimination arid counter-recrimination.

There is urgent need for. determining beyond any possible doubt whether conspiracy was involved. In the meantime a respite ought to be called in the efforts to attribute collective responsibility. They threaten to deepen the murk and intensify the ill will.

But almost all of the good manners and good politics President Johnson to Congress his faith in Congress' "ability to act, to meet any crisis, to distill from our differences strong.programs of national action." But Ihe fact is that so far this year. Congress has been a big, a flop. On the same day Johnson 1 addressed the joint session, majority Leader Mike Mansfield in serted in the Congressional Rec ord a defense of his stewardship in which he yet admitted lhat "Congress under the Constitution and its established procedures is not equipped to respond, to reach a decision one way or another, on urgent matters which go to the heart of our national economic structure." egtslation included in that 60 per cent figure consists of minor legislation; as Mansfield spoke the nation was still await- ng action on civil rights, the tax cut bill, medicare and education legislation the meat of the Kennedy program. Shortchanged Along about this time of year, in what as the season of plenty, small change becomes hard to come by in the'cquntry's merchandising centers.

The current shortage of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters' is blamed on the Christmas shopping rush, which accentuates a demand already made acute by the burgeoning needs of parking meters, vending and other phenomena of the mechanized age. Economists are not disturbed, however. They say' if there aren't enough'coins to go around, it means business is good, and what's good for Santa Glaus is good for the nation. Many a man who plays Santa in his own family isn't concerned, either, about the pennies and nickels he doesn't have enough of now. He's worrying about the dollars he won't have enough of in January when the bills come in.

AGREE ON'NEED FOR ACTION Mansfield 1 Knew this, and because he knew it he had to warn Congress 'of the fruits of its inactivity: "A failure to respond with some degree of ur gency to an urgent Presidential request consigns to the Congress a great responsibility for whatever consequences flow the nation from this Clark and Boiling have put it more bluntly. Said Clark: "We must act lo restore the efficacy of Congressional government before the eLglslative branch of our Federal Republic deslroys (self because we were unwill- ng to save it."

Modern dress, the alphabet and a western-style parliamentary system are the outward symbols of an evolving modern Turkey started on its way more than 4D years ago by Kemal Alaturk. Yet just as Turkey, astride the Dardanelles and the Bos- porous, lies both in Europe and Asia, so its social structure stands astride both am modern times. More than hal its population is illiterate.

He spoke with the assurance of one who knows the business from the ground up Kossoff is president of his own firm, the Burton Packaging which designs and makes boxes and displays. He is HOLLOW BOAST Yet there hope in a man of Mansfield's stature taking cognizance of the situation. Mansfield is a member of the club, and.his words carry weight, that Is en i ed those of the rebels Boiling and Clark when he asks that Con gress develop a system for faster action on appropriation bills and other major legislation.

There is a kind of nonpartisan ring to Mansfield's tone he warns Congress does not face up to.its problems "it will be a standing invitation to 40 years old, and an active member of the Young Presidents Organization, com posed of businessmen who have become presidents of theii companies before they are 40.
