Johnson is riding new I cjILL IN PROGRESS

wave of popularity

WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson Is riding a new wave of popularity both in the public opinion polls and with the democratic governors. Only a few months ago, the governors were grumbling about his party leadership and the pollsters reported Johnson’s rating with the voters at an alltime low. But the President’s handling of the Middle East crisis and his two summit meetings with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin have spurred a dramatic comeback.

A Louis Harris poll published Sunday gave Johnson his single biggest popularity gain among voters since he entered the White House. The poll indicated that 58 per cent of the American people now feel Johnson is doing a good to excellent job as President In contrast, only 47 per cent gave him a favorite rating in May. For months, public opinion polls have been taboo around the White House. But staff aides were once again pulling polls out of their pockets over the weekend at the Democratic Governors Conference in St.

ROSE PESTS Roses are attacked by many insects and a few plant diseases. These pests may quickly destroy the rose beauty, cause serious damage and frequently result In disappointment for the rose grower. BLACK SPOT causes brown to black spots, generally on the upper leaf surface. It causes premature defoliation which in turn shortens the blooming period. For control use Captan, Folpet (Phaltan) or Maneb.

Louis. And if the upswing in the polls was gratifying to Johnson, the warm backing he received from the governors was, as he

put it, "music to my ears.’* Fifteen of the 17 governors attending the unity session approved a "statement of accord’’ which heaped lavish praiss on

Johnson's domestic and foreign poUdos. Johnson, who huddled with the governors for an hour and 40 minutes, was beaming when he emerged. He told newsmen, "When the governors support you, you always improve your situation." The tone of the St. Louis meeting was conspicuously different from the Democratic governors caucus at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., in December, when a number of the governors blamed Johnson publicly for their party’s setbacks In the 1966 elections. Nearly all of the governors meeting In St Louis agreed Johnson’s popularity is on the rise and said he should win reelection in 1968. The latest results gave Johnson a 56-44 lead over both Michigan Gov. George Romney and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, and a 59-41 margin over New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. The only dark spot in the Harris poll for Johnson was its showing of continued public dissatisfaction over the administration policy in Vietnam. Fiftyfour per cent of the people still are unhappy with his handling of the war.

SEOUL, South Korea, UPI— Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey flew to Alaska today. As he left nearly 10,000 students demonstrated against South Korea’s recent elections and police used tear gas and clubs to break up the disorder.

If the dam In the sparselysettled wildlife preserve crumbles, * 40-foot wall of water would thunder toward the Buffalo River at 30 miles an hour, said Fred Stanberry, director of the state game and fish commission.

Engineer Orville Utley of Evansville said the boys appeared to be trying to beat the train to the crossing but at the last minute tried to stop. But by that time it was too late. The deaths for all practical purposes were traffic fatalities. But under the regulations used as guidelines by the Indiana State Police statisticians, they are not considered so because no motor vehicle was involved.

SAIGON UPI — Ten feet below the helicopter the Communists in the jungle were firing at the machine. They hit the pilot, then the co-pilot. U.S. Army Spec. 4 Larry W. Mackay, 20, figured, "It was a matter of do or die."

So the Buckhannon, W. Va., helicopter gunner took the controls. He had never flown a helicopter before. But Mackay got the craft home safely across eight miles of guerrilla infested Vietnamese jungle Sunday.

"We had taken off and were about 10 feet above the landing zone when the pilot and co-pilot were both hit in the legs. I was on one of the guns. I pulled back their seats and laid them in the back of the chopper and took the controls.

ARE YOU GOING TO HEAVEN?

Jmu*' disciples ones asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom •f heaven?" An interesting question, is it net? We knew the great •f earth: Churchill, Kennedy, Johnson, Pope Paul, Billy Graham. Are they great in heaven tee? Jesus indicated that another question should como first; not who is groatost, but who will ontor heavon at all? Josus said, "Vorily I

say unto you, Excopt ye be converted; and become as little children, y# shall not ontor into tho kingdom of heaven." (Matt. 1B:3)

Have you been converted? No ono is naturally hsaven-bound. You may think you aro all right as is; ethers may agree. But the Lord of heaven says you must bs converted to enter there. You must come to Him in humble faith as a (title child. Dees this offend you? To come this way is hard on the pride, but net to do so is fatal to th# soul. The choice Is yours. Cling to your prid# If you wish, but take • l-o-n-g look at the price-tag. It will cost you heaven! See you in Aurth this Sunday?

He did it with one hand. Mackay had tq use the other hand to stop the blood flowing from the pilot’s leg wound. “I knew the other gunner couldn’t take the controls,” he said. "There were no decisions to make. It just had to be done. “It was our fourth troop drop and our fourth landing zone. This one was really hot. There were Viet Cong giving us heavy automatic weapons fire all the time.

"I wasn’t sure what to do but luckily I had been in the seat before. They were still firing at us. But we had no guns. The other gunner was looking after the co-pilot who was the worst hit, in the back.

“Coming in to land the pilot was giving me directions. That was when I was really worried. I didn’t think I could get her onto the ground by myself and I thought the pilot was going to pass out.

"So I kept talking to him to keep him conscious."

He made an almost perfect landing. Base officials said he saved the pilot's and the copilot’s lives.
