Some Connecticut Democrats have formed a committee to help Abe Ribicoff win the Democratic nomination for the Senate, explaining that Ribicoff can’t campaign actively because of his “responsibilities” as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Maybe, also, it would be a conflict of interest.

President Kennedy has informed Congress that the proceeds from the $200 million UN bond issue would be used to liquidate existing debts for the Congo “activities.” Dean Rusk says the proceeds will be used to defray future expenses for such activities in the 18-month period following June 30. One Administration official, confronted last week by a reporter who claimed that the intended disposition of the proceeds had been left unclear, replied, “We want to keep it that way.” Why? Because this is a democracy, not a republic.
