“This has been one of the best administrations in the state’s history and the peoples’ problems have been met forthrightly,” Rockefeller said. Rockefeller, who made a determined but unsuccesswul bid for the Republican presidential nomination last fall, did not rule out the possibility of another attempt in 1968. He said,

Central Press Washington Writer W7ASHINGTON—Open debate always has been the strength— W and the weakness—of a democracy. The strength factor has usually displayed itself over the long pull while the weakness usually has been evident while the debate was raging. So it is with the hot debate now going on in Washington and r ^ ’ throughout the country over the proper military policy to be applied in Viet Nam. There can he no doubt that views being expressed by senators, political leaders and Johnson administration officials are creating an impression of deep division among factions in the United States. And there is ample evidence that the leaders of Red China, Russia and North Viet Nam are trying to exploit this division to the hilt, not only among their own

people, but throughout Asia.

hThis kind of .Red propaganda activity, of course, makes it more difficult for the administration to establish and pursue a fitting

policy.

At the same time, it is unthinkable for the United States not to engage in open, vigorous debate over a policy matter of this sort. Those

who determine policy must be expected to dilineate and defend it. Those who may oppose a policy should likewise be expected to state their reasons and raise pertinent questions. This, in fact, is what is going on now. President Johnson cannot be expected to express doubts and uncertainties about the military policy currently being pursued in Viet Nam. But that does not necessarily mean that he is as intransigent in his approach as his words indicate. Presidents have been known to

change their minds and their policies.

In the long run, the policy that emerges on Viet Nam can be expected to be the best that can be hammered out. And this is the real strength of the democratic system. For what ultimately emerges will represent the considered best judgment of many people and factions and will have the backing of the nation.

• UNSUITABLE—There’s no doubt that some federal employes are unsuited to work for the government, but at least one official has a letter saying so in so many words. Jack Hood Vaughn, assistant secretary of State for Latin American Affairs, boasts a distinguished career in American diplomacy. He delights to recall that when he served as U.S. ambassador to Panama he received the disquieting letter from the U.S. Civil Service Commission. In an apparent reply to an application for a job with the government, the commission wrote that it had considersd a resume of his qualifications and was of the opinion that he was unsuited for government work. The letter firmly suggested that he look

elsewhere for a job.

The letter must have evoked initial shock on

Vaughn’s part, but he has become reconciled to it. In fact, he’s of the opinion that it was directed to him in error and applied to some other

person with the same or similar name.

However, Vaughn and his wife still cherish that letter. They tell about it themselves, convinced by now that Vaughn is, m

fact, suitable for government employment.

Verdict:

Unsuitable!

e Conventional and probably accur“An a t e accounts say the most effectual figure in the plot to assassinate President Lincoln, Vice President Johnson and Secretary of State Seward, was killed April 26, 1865. But doubts that John Wilkes Booth was shot that night in a tobacco barn near Port Royal, Va., that night by a member of a military posse, have stalked the republic (and Europe, too)) for a century. A gifted inquirer into fact and fiction of the Great Rebellion, Lloyd Lewis summed up in “Myths After Lincoln” (Grosset & Dunlap): “No other mystery has lived so so long or so strongly in the Republic. Twenty men have been said to be the fugitive Booth in disguise . . . Books have been written to prove the cases of several among these claimants.” A youthful memory of this writer is the traveling tent show that exhibited for the credulous and curious a mumified corpse declared to be that of Booth. The show's barker declared the corpse had been secured from an undertaker in the Oklahoma town where Booth had died in anonymity. Photos of the corpse were hawked at the bier, and the photo this viewer bought at the show long years ago in Lexington, Ky., did look like Booth. (He learned afterward that at least two different showmen were traveling exhibitionists of a Booth corpse.) CLARK KINNAIRD.
