This is the first of five articles appraising the Ken nedy record, by a seasoned Wash sponse is exactly the opposite: The New Frontier is floundering; Kennedy already is a failure. If one dares to that the administration pushed considerable legislation through Congress, the answer comes quickly: These bills have been kicking around for years, and any Democrat, moving into the White House, supported by a Democratic Congress, would have gotten as much. The very vehemence of their replies suggests that neither side is too sure of its ground, that each fears there's some truth in the other's argument. election, and 11 months since his move into the White House.

Has Kennedy gone forward with the daring, imaginative leadership he said this country so desperately needed? Or, as some disenchanted Kennedy enthusiasts of 1960 now suggest, has his administration compromised so frequently it has, in their view out Eisenhowered Dwight D. Eisenhower's? Latching on to any political fact can be as difficult as picking up a wet watermelon seed. But here the problem is tougher. Talk to the men around Ken Anyone judging Kennedy's progress has to keep In mind that it is an ingrained political habit to see everything as all good or all evil.

Except for Cuba, an obvious and admitted disaster, few mistakes are confessed, publicly or privately.

I can't fire a university president, but I will certainly apply this to any boy in my office." Anderson said he didn't blame the press. "And I'm not suggesting any kind of McCarthy tactics," Anderson added.

"But we must first have the full cooperation of all state employes and even the members of this board." He said a tighter rein on news stories would give the general public a better view of the board's opinions. No action was taken. It might even extend to presidents of the six units of the university system. Anderson made the remarks at a regular meeting of the board in Helena. He referred to an Associated Press story quoting comparison figures on salaries paid faculty members at Montana State College and Montana State University.

Salary comparisons were released by State Budget Director Edward Nelson, showing the Montana pay scale was near the top levels of 63 other institutions throughout the nation.

FORSSEN Hundreds of balky cars, frozen water pipes and cold noses and a few king-size troubles have accompanied the first cold thrust of winter into the Missoula area. While the Weather Bureau predicted a possible slight warming trend, at least three major industrial plants in the area were closed down or nearly so.

The Anaconda Forest Products Co. had to close its big mill at Bonner because slush ice had dammed the Blackfoot River above the mill and nearly dried up the mill pond. The plant was closed for the day and night shifts Monday and it was doubtful that it could be put back in operation Tuesday. About 120 of the 500 employes were affected. Shortage of Water The American Crystal Sugar Co.

plant was operating at one fourth or less than normal capacity due to a shortage of water. Manager Edward L. Swift said the principal source of water for steam, the Hell Gate ditch, and the secondary source, a channel of the Clark Fork River, both were frozen. Portable pumps were being used to take water from the main channel of the river. The subzero cold of the past two days also has frozen the train carloads, of sugar beets into solid lumps.

Ordinarily, hot water is used to thaw frozen beets, but with water in short supply this could not be done, Swift said. Closing of the Van-Evan Co. plywood plant at the west edge of the city Monday idled 185 men. The plant was shut down when the FORT WORTH. Tex.

He also was a close friend of the late Sam Rayburn, speaker of the House, also a Texan. "I return to Texas confident in the knowledge that our great Navy-Marine Corps team is ready and capable of carrying out any mission which the President may call upon them to perform," Connally told a news conference at which he made his announcement.
