MARCH OF EVENTS-

A PRESS SECRETARY EXPLAINS HIS JOB

GEORGE REEDY SAYS SERENITY IS A MUST

Georg* Reedy

Mostly stamina

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press WasXington Writer W7ASHINGTON—If you’ve gone through life thinking that W the duty of a presidential press secretary is to give out "h^ws, let an authority correct you. President Johnson’s press secretary, George Reedy, doesn’t look at it quite that way. He thinks of his function as primarily giving the press “access to the White House, access to the President, and access to facts and information. What they do with it is their business.” And, with characteristic modesty, Reedy said that his job “doesn’t require braica, not too much in muscle, but brother, what it takes in the way of stamina!” It also takes "a certain amount of serenity and if you don’t have it you won’t last long. It takes ability to see things from the other fellow’s point of view and then keep your mouth shut It take* a sense of humor as well as a sense of proportion that this, too, shall

pass away.”

Reedy’s fr^-dc discussion of the White House press secretary’s view of his job was made as he addressed a reunion of graduates of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. He said he was talking as freely as possible be-

cause he wanted to do his best to keep his audience in the

mainstream of journalism.

In an indirect way he probably succeeded. At least, some of his listeners will think again before deserting their calling for

-government press relations jobs.

• HELPFUL HINT—When Nicholas Katzenbach was nominated to be Attorney General recently, he had to face the inevitable ordeal of a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Katzenbach was anxious to get the proceeding over with so that the Senate could confirm the nomination. ■' However, on the very day the senate committee was to vote on his nomination, he was slated to appear before a house committee holding hearings on a bill to provide for presidential - succession. A fellow witness was Sen. Birch Bayh, author of the bill, who is also a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Katzenbach feigned impatience, looked at his watch and in other ways tried to project concern. Turning to Bayh, he said: “Senator, don’t you think you ought to testify first? You have a very important meeting to attend on the other side of the capitoL I hope you don’t miss it.”

• ELECTRONIC AGE—Most larger cities’ telephone companies Supply telephone alert services, via radio, for businessmen and professionals who move around a lot in the course of a day’s work. Subscribers are equipped with a special radio-like device that buzzes whenever they're wanted on the phone. The subscriber simply goes to the nearest telephone and calls his office

~ to find out why he’s wanted.

’ About a dozen congressmen have caught wind of the devices - and have joined the roll of subscribers in Washington. Now, whenever they’re away from their offices, either on the House floor, or attending committee meetings, or seeing to business for their constituents at government agencies,

they're never out of contact.

The little contraptions have been dubbed "pocket page boys” by the congressmen who * carry them. One legislator was asked whether „ the buzzing didn’t drown out speakers in the

House. He replied that, far from it, the speakers darned near

Then I learned from Rep. Henry S. Reuss, D-Wis., that ombudsmen are Scandinavian officials who deal with t h « complaints citizens make ; against their governments. If a citizen of Norway, Sweden or Denmark feels agrieved, he can take it up with the ombudsman, who will investigate the matter and order corrective action if warranted. Reuss proposed that “people both in and out of the govern- : ment” give some thought to the possibility of adopting some form of ombudsman system in ■ the United States to protect individuals against bureaucratic abuses.
