I Don t believe that government has any place at the bargaining table either on the Side of management or labor he said. This must have come As a bitter Pill after business demands that or. Kennedy should do Bat Lewith labor As he had done with steel. On the other Side of the Fence the president of Al Cio George Meany told or. Kennedy to a memorandum thatwe7 Are afraid that the pickup from the recession will be aborted. Nothing has occurred to dispel that  although he does not ice at tacks any More than anyone Els would or. Kennedy is More or less injured to assaults on him and his politics by political opponents and business. But the Meany memorandum carries with it the Over tones of a newly developing opposition. Market sags Meany was of course arguing partisan Case for lower taxes for the1 lower income groups and maintenance of existing tax rate son business undertakings. It was not this Tut what Meany had to say in support of his Cas that Cut deep. � said Meany unfortunately. A substantial Rise in business  Plant and equipment has not materialized to offset the slackening rate of Advance in government spendingpersonal consumption will be rising at a slower rate than to the past year. The Gross National product failed to meet expectations in the first Quarter. While the economic recovery discontinuing it Falls Short of expectations unemployment was at rat of 5.4 per cent in May r higher than at similar Point 15 months after the recessions of 1958, 1954,and 1949. Production stamp american Industry is operating at 10-15 per cent below optimum capacity Levels. For the 10th consecutive week the steel Industry s operating rate has declined and is now at less than 55 per cent of capacity Down from 80 per cent last March. Retail sales have no responded. New orders for goods do not indicate the strength needed to bolster production. The combined demand of con Sumer government and business is clearly not enough to keep the Economy fully employed at pre sent and there is danger that this will persist All this or. Kennedy takes with his customary Sharp wit and buoy ant Grin while lesser men might conceivably feel that the roof was falling in but Congress is the real Thorn in the Side. Only 2 major Buu okd so far this year it has approved Only two major Bills out of 22 he has submitted to it this year. The others Are bogged Down in committees of either the House or the Senate. When they do come to de Bate in either chamber although greatly amended in committee they Are subject to even More amendments As in the Case of the farm Bill for which the administration accepted 29 of the 50amendments offered on the floor of the House in a desperate Effort to win Over opponents who of course included members of the president s own democratic party. There is a Maverick Quality about Congress which would drive european or British prime Jln ister crazy but which americans love. In Congress no matter your party level if you Don t like i you vote against it. You Don t simply toe the party line if  is to get anywhere he has to get control of Congress and to do that he will have to Corral his Nav Eickst most of whom Are to be found among the conservative Southern democrats who form his sturdiest opposition voting As they so fire Elf do with the republicans
