NATO alliance The members of the alliance would all be proven military losers incompetents and weaklings like Egypt Saudi Arabia and Jordan The only two exceptions would be Israel and Japan which Connally would invite to Join It is inconceivable that the Japanese would since they remember the shabby and insulting way Connally treated them when he was president Nixon's Secretary of the Treasury Under the Connally arrangement the Israelis would be called upon to play essentially the same military role that they are already playing in the region The only difference is that thanks to Connally Israel would now be in a weaker position Connally correctly points out that Israel is costing us billions of dollars a year in economic and military aid Billions he thinks his plan would eliminate In

believe his political star is climbing They are feeling more confident about the powers of the incumbency and their ability to overcome the challenge of Sen Edward Kennedy Carter says he believes he was "underestimated" and that the Florida caucuses show he still attracts the traditional constituencies of the Democratic Party Recent polls have shown a slight upswing in political support for Carter although some observers say he had only one way to go — up Carter's upbeat mood was best reflected on the flight aboard the presidential Jet as he winged his way back to Washington from the dedication of the John F Kennedy library He went to the plane's press ares to chat something he has not done in a year At the dedication with almost the entire Kennedy clan on the platform Carter paid tribute to the late president He twitted Senator Kennedy about his presidential ambitions and stressed that times have changed since 1990 Carter later told reporters he believes he is closer to President Kennedy In political philosophy than his brother is describing the senator as a more liberal bigger spender for social needs The White House line of attack on Kennedy is beginning to take shape Kennedy is being portrayed as a politician who as Carter put it "is much more Inclined toward the old philosophy of pouring out new programs and new money to meet a social need" Carter also says he is "in favor of much stronger defense commitments than his (Sen Kennedy's) record shows" Press secretary Jody Powell followed up the president's criticism of his probable opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination by telling reporters that Kennedy had "quietly" voted for a 3 percent real increase in defense spending while not supporting Pentagon hikes in the past As for the bounty of federal monies Carter gets to pass out at major political stops to keep the local Democratic politicians happy Powell says the administration had been criticized in the past for not using the powers of the incumbency to its own advantage But he Indicates that it is all going to be different now and millions of dollars in grants and assistance are going to be sprung more quickly to areas where it counts politically Powell also says there is no "survey" under way to flush out Kennedy supporters In the administration but he makes it clear that Carter's political appointees must be loyal to him and if they cannot serve the president they should quit The idea as he points out is not new with presidents Teamwork and loyalty are the main criteria when the political chips are down
