THE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITi

ALTHOUGH MILES apart and without comparing notes, main thrust of my column and stories of veteran political writers Eugene J. Cadou for a wire bureau and Robert Flynn for an Evansville newspaper, coincided on the Jefferson-Jackson day banquet of 4,500 Democrates. It was that the upper echelon of Democrat party leaders were engaged in a “fence mending” effort to bring back into the fold, U. S. Senator Vance Hartke. He is a high flying "dove” in his criticism of President Johnson’s X’iet Nam war policies. We news staffers know of the chasm existinng between Gov. Roger D. Branigin, State Democratic Chairman Gordon St. Angelo, and Sen. Birch Bayh who support the ’President fn regard to Viet Nam and Hartke who opposes LBJ’s Viet Nam role. JOUSTING BETWEEN the Goveror and Hartke at an editorial meeting in French Lick got out of hand. The Governor packed his suitcase and went home. In the West Coast governor’s gathering. Branigin signed the resolution to support the President in the Viet Nam involvement. Atmosphere at the J-J. dinner was one of less tension. Gov. Branigin joshed Sen. Hartke who rushed up at a press conference to shake hands with Gov. Harold Hughes, of lowa, the chief speaker. The Governor said, “Vance you’re too late to get into the picture, come sit with me”. Hartke rruide known when at the head table of the banquet, that he was a guest at the Manse and that Gov. Branigin fried the eggs for breakfast. THE GOVERNOR, and Senators Hartke and Bayh headed the recep-! tion for 4,500 party members. Gov. | Hughes, an enormous “hunk" of man. not easily shaken, declined to debate Hartke on Viet Nam in answer to a reporter’s question. Hughes was one of the Governors at a Western Conference that blamed the President's “Great Society” program for defeating many Democrats at the polls. But now the situation has changed, and Gov. Hughes with candor and emphasis asserted LBJ will run for reelection and will be reelected as will Vice President Hu-1 bert Humphrey. All this was followed after the J-J day banquet by Sen. Frank Church' tD-Ida l penning a manifesto that 16 top "doves” signed, including two Republicans. The document in sub-1 stance served notice on Hanoi that it should not misjudge the minority who criticize LBJ on Viet Nam. It said dissenters opposed unilateral American withdrawal from the war and criticism of methods of the US methods in war would continue. However, this did not mean the USA would quit the conflict short of an honorable settlement SIGNING this manifesto were Hartke, Senators William Fullbright, Ark., Mark O. Hatfield, Oregon, Robert F. » Kennedy. N. Y.. and Wayne Morse, Oregon, all top “doves”. Why did lowa Governor Hughes blast the President after the November election? Here is a version from Democrats in the “know” of Hoosier politics. At that time, LBJ’s man trom Texas, was making a figurehead out of John Bailey. Democrat National Chairman. Bailey can muster a host of friends. Things have been resolved since, and Bailey is again running the “show” as National Chairman. LBJ has desisted from taking over the national committee. IT WAS PUZZLING after the J-J banquet that Sen. Hartke plunged into national headlines, when appear- [ ing on “Ladies of the Press,” and a j tape recording will likely be shown Hoosiers. In answer to a question posed by Miss Frances Lewine, of i the Associated Press, Sen. Hartke predicted LBJ won’t run next year. This was like pouring gasoline on fire. I am told that the show of friendness betw’een Branigin. Bayh, St. Angelo and lowa Governor Hughes at the J-J banquet, was not "staged” but was “spontaneous.” The Church resolution supporting did not create the furore the "study" by the Republican Senate Policy Committee created. Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper (R-Ia) apologized profusely for releasing the G.O.P. “study" without first reading it. Republicans Dirksen and Nixon were very angry. The role that Hartke will play in the wanned up campaign seems even more clear now. It adds up to Hartke continuing to be an LBJ Viet Nam critic. The foregoing does not infer the Hoosier Republicans are not also having internal disputes. AS THE UMPIRES SEE IT During a World Series, a batter was ejected from the game following an altercation at the plate with th? man in blue. The ball player just did not like the umpire’s judgment of the pitches. When he went out on a called strike, he became abusive and was ordered to the showers. Among the fans talking about the incident in the hotel bar that night were three umpires, who attended the game as spectators. Their sympathies naturally were with the umpire and they jfegan to talk about the problems on their job. One said. “Some’s balls and some’s strikes and I calls ’em as they is’\ _ Another put it this way, “Some’s balls and some’s strikes, and I calls ’em as I sees ’em’’.. The third umpire ended the discussion when he said, “I sees ’em cornin’ across and some’s baMs and some’s strikes, but they ain’t nothin* till I calls ’em.”
