MARCH OF EVENTS

MANY SURPRISED AT LBJ'S STAND

AMERICA FIRST, JOHNSON FEELS

Johnson

There were two reasons.

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer YT-WASHINGTON—Johnson's emphasis on civil rights legislaW tion in his address to Congress came as a surprise to some of his colleagues, and to many ordinaiy people around the country. Despite his vigorous push for civil rights legislation while he was in the Senate, many people could not disabuse themselves of the notion that Lyndon was essentially a Southerner, and therefore a conservative. So they were surprised that Johnson not only embraced John F. Kennedy's full stand on civil rights, but maybe even carried it a step further. Kennedy always spoke of civil rights and tax cut legislation in the same breath, as co-equal necessities at the top of his legislative pro-

gram.

Johnson went him one better. He placed civil ri^nts first and most imperative, and tax cuts second on his own list of things Congress

must do.

A little thought will make the reasoning come clear. Johnson happens to be fully convinced that Congress must progress on civil rights legislation for the good of the country. But his view happens to coincide with the demands of his own political future. His renomination for the presidency is only a few months off, and Johnson must convince

the Eastern and Mid-West wings of his party that he is a "national'' and not a sectional figure. How better to do it than to push for civil rights, the issue closest to the big city Democratic political machines, and farthest from his native state of Texas.

• MORSE, NOT PASSMAN—For years. Rep. Otto Passman, Louisiana Democrat, has claimed fame principally on his efforts -—successful most years—in cutting foreign aid appropriations. Passman has achieved this eminence on the basis of his chairmanship of the House Appropriations Subcommittee which handles money requests of that agency. However, this year, Passman has hardly been heard from. Instead, the limelight has been stolen by an interloper, a Johnny-come-lately—and a liberal, to boot. The man responsible for deep cuts in this year's foreign aid appropriation was Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, who entered the Senate as a Republican, switched his affiliation to the Democrats and succeeded in winning re-election under his new party label. Morse successfully offered a long series of amendments to cut the foreign aid appropriation when it was under consideration in the Senate and now gets credit for the economy effected.

• POLITICAL TRLCE—The unrealism of political truces usually are quite subtle, but in the present instance were unusually

clear.

After the first shock of President Kennedy’s assassination were off on Capitol Hill, the thought seemed to grow that the best thing Congress could do to help Lyndon Johnson, his successor, was to wrap things up as quickly as possible and go The idea was that a congressional absence would give Johnson time to pick up the reins of government, look over the establish-

ment to see what personnel and policy changes he would need to make, and generally give him time to settle in his job. Sounded pretty appeal-

ing and generous.

The fact is the congressional opposition to Kennedy’s program have strung out this session

of Congress until it now is the longest in peace-time history. They have done this because they see political gain for them-

selves in the delays.

learning a new business — the weekly newspaper. “My husband was always interested in politics but he preferred to work behind scenes,” Vera said. “He helped put quite a few into office but he would never take a job.” With Alvin’s death in 1945, his widow took over full management of the newspaper and has undertaken to follow his same philosophy of leading separate poiitical and newspapering lives. "Some candidates have come to me and asked for my support in the convention,” Vera said. "That includes a friend who is a candidate for governor. But I tell them the same thing I can't commit the paper until after convention.” The Gazette, established in

1880, traditionally has been Democratic. Vera is particularly proud of her journalism honors in the Woman's Press Club of Indiana and Theta Sigma Phi, professional organization for women in journalism. "I never studied journalism but learned it first hand, so these organizations mean a lot to me,” she said. One of the best kept secrets— and one which the IDEA may not know about its new treasurer— goes back to her youth. She switched from Republican to Democrat allegiance when she said "I do.” "My Republican relatives thought it was the end of the world for me,” she recalled. "But I’ve never voted Republican since.”

roads. "The powerful engines, power steering and improved brakes on today’s motor vehicles are still only as effective as the stopping relationship between the tires and the road surface,” Mr. Nicholas stated. He pointed out that the most important consideration at any time while driving is how soon can drivers stop their vehicle and that slippery roads should instantly make a driver reduce speeds drastically. in the difficult position of not saying what she thinks. One of those interests is politics. Mrs Hall is the treasurerelect of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, a post which normaly will lead her to the presidency in three more years. The other big interest is journalism. She is publisher of the Danville Gazette. “I have my ideas about candidates,” Mrs. Hall observed, referring to the rapid rush n o w beginning to announce for elective positions, "but if I say anything I commit my newspaper and I don't want to do that.” Back in 1916, when Vera wed the Gazette publisher, Alvin Hall, she was principal of an Indianapolis business college and knew little about newspaper work. She was born in Logansport and was, for the most part, reared under the supervision of an administrator. Both parents died while she was young and the administrator was the one who determined Vera should go to business college. One of her first jobs was as secretary to a law firm to Danville—and one of the first persons she met was Hall, then a reporter for the Gazette. They were married just before the United States entered World War I and Alvin went off to fight. When they returned to Danville in 1917, Vera began
