Genius Of American Low

The great task Of law is to harmonic
conflicting interests. In the balancing of
clashing interests human rights should be
superior to commercial interests and the
rights of families should not be submerged
in the rights Of society. Which rights are
absolute and which relative is often an
enormously difficult question to answer 1t
has been the genius of American law that
1t has balanced the rights of labor and
capital, the privileges Of society and the
individual, and the interests of press and
pr1vacy-RObert Drinan, 8. j.

that's the course Johnson's friends
followed. There has been only one
serious answer to Proxmire's de-
mand for more democracy and
less autocracy" by the Democratic
Leader. 1t came from Sen. Richard
Neuberger of Oregon
Many people were surprised, but
trey need not have been. Neuber-
ger has long admired Johnson's
skill as a politician. 1t was Neu-
berger who set the theme, since
repeated by Johnson's political
friends, namely, that ProXmire is
something of an migrate for voic-

But is that really the issue
There are those who like Prox
mire and those who do not. Prox-
mire may be in the independent
liberal tradition of Wisconsin's
Bob LaFollette. Or he may be a
brash young man who wants to
project himself into the national
Imelight in a hurry. Too little is
still known of the man to be sure
into what category he fits.
But Proxmire isn't the issue.
either.
The question is who determines
Democratic policy in the Senate
and what is that policy going to
be? Is it going to be Senators
from states with less than 10 per
cent of the population of the
country many of whom are be-
holden to big oil companies, Wall
Street banks and the giant insur-
ance combines?
Or will the men who come from
California. Illinois, Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts,, Mich
igan and other populous areas at
least be given a look-in?
OF the entire Southern senate
contingent only a handful can be
said not to represent some special
interest.

SENIORITY WHEN CONVENT
EMIT - So far as the Proxmire
incident was concerned Johnson's
big mistake was to employ the
seniority system in the Senate
when It suited his convenience and
to ignore it when it suited his con-
venience.
He by-passed Proxmire for the
Senate Finance Committee. Instead
of Proxmire, he put two freshmen
senators on the committee, one
from Minnesota and one from
Indiana. If Johnson had been con-
sistent about the seniority custom
he might still be the unchallenged
political boss of the Senate.
But it's clear to many Observ-
ers here that JohnsOn's fidelity
"a first to conservative business
interests, rather than blind ad-
herence to the custom Of sen
IOrity.
The nations big banking inter-
ests have looked suspiciously at
Proxmire, even though he did a
stint at ]. P. Morgan and Co,
after leaving Harvard Business
School. They would not be happy
with him on the committee.
They are suspicious Of him be-
cause he is suspicious of the tight
money" policy. He is asking too
many questions about what 1t may
have done to the economy and who
got rich out of it.
But this isn't the first time
Johnson has ignored seniority,
when he felt like it. For a while
he kept Estes Kefauver from head
ing the Senate Antitrust Commit
tee when the big Tennessean SEEM
ed to be going after certain utility
companies, which are also said 70
keep" some Southern senator's.
The issues Proxmire has raised
won't disappear. They will continue
to pop up until they are met head
on.
How will johnson handle Prox-
mire? More important how will ne
handle the issue posed by Prox-
mire? Will he call Democratic
senator's into a caucus more often
than once a year? Will he allow
them to discuss subjects of nation
al local and party interest VIII
he abide by majority decision or
what bills should be called up and
in what order?
Or is that too democratic FOL

Farmers AIerted To
Save Soybeans, Corn

Farmers. with corn, soybeans, or
both under 1858 price support
loans should watch market prices
closely in the next few weeks for
opportunities to redeem their crops
above the loan level, according to
Lynn Jordan of the Holmes Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton County Office.
Loans on soybeans mature May
81 and on corn July 81.
To compare the loan value with
the market price in his particu-
lar area, the farmer needs to make
allowance for various settlement
factors such as interest, shrinkage,
delivery charges and, in the case
of corn, cost of Smelling. If a farm
er is in doubt how to figure these
factors, questions can be address
ed to the ASC county office.
