Kennedy Will
Have to be His
Brother’s Keeper
By James Marlow
liP News Analyst
WASHINGTON OP — In a very
acute sense President-Elect John
F, Kennedy will be his brother’s
keeper.
He must take unique respon
sibility for what is or isn’t done
by his brother, Robert, whom he
put in his cabinet as Attorney
General.
While all presidents bear ulti
mate responsibility for their cabi
net members, each in the past
to some extent could disassociate
himself when a cabinet member
goofed.
President Truman, for example,
in 1952 sacked his Attorney Gen
eral, J. Howard McGrath, for
firing Newbold Morris whom Tru
man had asked to investigate
government corruption.
But no other president has had
his brother in the cabinet. Thus,
each could argue he didn’t know
beforehand what a cabinet mem
ber was up to.
The new President can’t take
that kind of an out in the case of
his brother and for a reason that
goes beyond mere blood-ties.
The Kennedys are extremely
close, constantly consult each
other, and reportedly, think
pretty much alike.
So it can be assumed that when
the new attorney general does or
does not take a major action it
is because the President is not
only fully aware of his decision
and approves, but wants it that
way.
ihis close relationship is per
haps the best argument the broth
ers can make to critics of Robert’s
appointment to such high office.
The critics say the 35-year-old
lawyer of the Kennedy family
would never have been picked for
Attorney General by any other
president if for no reason than
he doesn’t have the legal stature.
Here’s an example of why the
main credit or blame will land on
President Kennedy for his broth
er’s performance: What will the
Justice Department, headed by
Robert Kennedy as Attorney Gen
eral, do in the Field of Civil
Rights?
If he acts vigorously, it will
antagonize southern whites, par
ticularly in Congress where the
new President will need all the
votes he can get for his legisla
tive program.
If the Justice Department drags
its feet on Civil Rights it will
antagonize Negroes and Liberals
who helped elect the new Presi
dent.
It’s a delicate problem and just
because it is—either way it goes
—the new President will almost
certainly be held more responsi
ble than his brother because it
can be assumed Robert on a
question as important as this
acted under John’s say-so.
Since Robert Kennedy worked
tirelessly to make his brother
President, it can be taken for
granted he will work just as hard
to make his Presidency a success.
Robert Kennedy is credited
with being tough, quick and
shrewd. He’s a good politician, as
he demonstrated by managing his
brother’s Presidential campaign.
As for judgment on strictly
legal problems—he can get all the
advice he might need from law
yers in the Justice Department.
It swarms with them.
