Anyone Can Play This Game YOU'RE TELLING ME! jet set: junior size

On National Democratic Ticket

•y HOYT KINO

Central Press Writer

By JOHN F. SEMBOWER Central Press Association Correspondent ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—In picking a national ticket the watchword is balance. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas already occupies the heavy end ©f the scales so predominantly that the balancing point is ahifted far toward the vice presidential end of the beam, but nevertheless, in tapping the man to play that role, LBJ undoubtedly is applying most if pot all of the age-old tests Which since time immemorial have singled out the running

Oates.

There Is nothing secret about them, and almost anyone can play the favorite game these ©ays on the boardwalk of “vice

president selector.”

First, however, it is neces©ary to establish the field of hopefuls, in light of LBJ’s elimination of all Cabinet members ywH those sitting with the Cabinet. Hardly anyone ever runs Openly for vice president, but Chose remaining ones who have Indicated in any of the countless way of politicians that they

©re •‘available” include:

Hie Senators: Thomas J. Dodd (Conn.), J. William Fulbright (Ark.), Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.), Henry M. Jackson (Wash.), Michael J. Mansfield (Mont), Eugene J. McCarthy (Minn.), Stuart Syming-

ton (Mo.).

* The Governors: Edmund ••Pat” Brown (Calif.), Matthew £. Welsh (Ind.). The Mayor*: Robert Wagner (New York), Richard J. Daley

(Chicago^.

Added Possibility: Undersecretary of Commerce Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. These are “balance" factors Which historically have led to the nomination of vice presidential candidates: Political Balance: Relatively rare, but prominent in times like this of great crisis or when BMW political groups are forming. Republican Abraham Lincoln did not particularly like Andrew Johnson, who was fated to succeed him, but a Democrat who stood for the Union was needed during the height ©f the Civil War. Similarly John Tyler, a former Democrat, was chosen running mate for William Henry Harrison, because the Whigs were trying to become a ma-

jority party.

A little-noticed sidelight to tfee prominently mentioned Bens. Hubert Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy is that in their official Congressional Directory biographies both list themselves not only as Democrats but aa members of Minataota’a old third party, the

Big question is who will be No. 2?

Farmer-Labor. Personality Balance: Uncouth Richard M. (Tecumseh) Johnson, who never was known to wear a tie, was chosen running mate for the ultra-urbane Martin Van Buren; down-to-earth Torn Marshall, who said “what this country needs is a good five-cent cigar,” was picked to balance the academic Woodrow Wilson; old “Rough and Ready" Teddy Roosevelt looked like a natural to offset the ponderous dignity of William McKinley, and many other examples can be cited. It is intriguing to sort through the present hopefuls for a personality which might complement the very-T e x a s

LBJ.

Geographical Balance: Most

Sen. William Knowland of Cali* fornia, but then plunked for bis colleague, Richard M. Nixon. Some politicians “read” this to mean that the accent can be as much on a state as on indi» vidual. To the above three classio “balances” there now are two more which many pundits insist are applicable: Religious Balance: Sines John F. Kennedy “broke the barrier” which may have existed against a Roman Catholic in the White House, and the Republicans have nominated Catholic Rep. William Miller for vice president, intensified interest on the score is reflected here toward McCarthy, Mansfield, Brown and Daley.

Health Balance: Strangely this appears not to have been a controlling element prior to nomination of a comparatively youthful Nixon as a health

I obvious of all the criteria, this (“balance" may be analyzed in j light of the current list by keeping in mind these striking

precedents:

Only twice in all history have backstop to sometimes-ailing | both < been from south Eisenhower, except when a of Mason-Dixon < Ja< kson-Cal- more rugged and youthful Tyler houn. Truman-Barkl was nominated with 69-year-old Only four times have both William Henry Harrison, who

been from states not among the first 13 (Lincoln-Hamlin, GrantColfax, Hoover-Curtis, TrumanBarkley — possibly EisenhowerNixon, if Ike • i* .considered to have been from Kansas and not

yet from Pennsylvania).

many at the time thought might resign his nomination because of “advanced age” in favor of Daniel Webster or

Henry Clay.

It is in focus this year because LBJ, like Eisenhower,

It is not unusual that two has had “a coronary accident,"

prominent figures from one state, such as Sens. Humphrey and McCarthy this year from Minnesota, are prominently mentioned for vice president in the same year. In 1956, when the Democrats chose Sen. Estes Kefauver, his fellow Tennessean, Sen. Albert Gore, had a big following that veered to John F. Kennedy; in 1952 the Republicans seemed headed for picking the then

albeit one from which he appears to have recovered com-

pletely.

Not general enough to rank with the above tests but nevertheless a criterion of sorts and one which may have weighed with LBJ is the surprisingly few vice presidents with prior Cabinet experience. There were only four: Thomas Jefferson, John Calhoun, Van Buren and Henry Wallace.

BARRY GOLDWATER has hitched his bandwagon to a starring role on television. The last Republican candidate who did that only got through a few segments.

! ! t

Thm Republican strategists’ aim is to present Goldicater “at the moat favorable time, on the most favorable issues, in the most favorable way.” In other toords, let’s not make the same mistake twice.

I I !

Republican strategists fee! that Goldwater has TV charm similar to the lata President Kennedy's.

Conservatively speaking, of

course. ! ! !

This Is a businesslike campaign. Buy TV, sell TVA.

! ! !

The strategists say there will be few, if any, question-answer exchanges except pre-recorded. That ought to make the questions right, too.

! I !

Goldwater on TV will Increase right on through October. The peek will come on election day.

! ! !

Goldwater also will fly about 75,000 campaign miles. And he’ll fly right!

NEW YORK—Children take to flying like a duck takes to water. If you can’t manage that trip to grandmother’s house yourself, send your son or daughter anyhow. American Airlines says you can send your child on an airplane trip with even more assurance than when you send him next door. American knows who he is, where he lives, where he is going and the name, address and telephone number of the person who is to meet him. The airline won’t surrender the child until proper identification is produced. When your child travels alone, he is escorted aboard the airplane and introduced to the stewardess, who seats him near where she will be. Here’s how you send your child flying: when you call to make the reservation, tell the reservations agent that your son or daughter will be travelling alone. Then, when you take him to the airport, you turn him over to the passenger service manager and fill out a form •tating who is sending the child and who is meeting him. One of these forms is given to the stewardess. Then, a message is

sent to the passenger service manager at the child’s destination, stating that your child is aboard the airplane. In flight, children receive milk with their meals and, if there’s a snack, they can have one, too. Your child can travel alone on American if he’s five or older, and for half fare if he’s accompanied by a person at least 12 years old. An unaccompanied child and children 12 and up travel at the full fare rate. Arm your child with a bag of dime store surprises to entertain him on his trip. Coloring books, silly putty, crossword puzzles, a writing pad, all are excellent. Chewing gum is fine for helping ears adjust to pressure during ascent and descent, but often a yawn is even more effective. A young lady travelling alone should have a fair-sized handbag all her own, in which she can keep all the things a big girl carries: comb, handbag hairbrush, mad money, plenty of identification, gum, peanuts, pen and pencil. And, it’s always good for the small passenger to have a sweater handy.
