emily has talked to Rowe. Or, if
they have, none has quoted him or
written what Rowe might have
said in any language that authen-
ticates the idea of what Rowe's
viewpoint is on the possible John
son candidacy.
If Rowe, used to playing an
anonymous role, did tell exactly
what his plans are there is always
the possibility that he would be
Aisbelieved; not because he would
not be telling the truth, but simply
because no one here takes any
thing at face value.
So the mystery of the shift, If
any, has to be solved in other
ways.
Political logic suggests two ex-
plantations:
First, that johnson realizes it
is politically disadvantageous to be
out front so early in the game.
Second, that Johnson hopes to
deadlock the Democratic conven-
ton.
If he can encourage Humphrey
to think he has a chance and If he
does nothing to discourage Ken
nedy from thinking the outlook is
rosy, they may knock each other
off.
THOSE INTEGRATED CHILL
DREN - Another Southern myth
is being destroyed by facts rather
than reliance on prejudiced imag-
nation. It's that old notion that
Negro children in integral d
schools behave more badly than
they did before integration. The
District of Columbia Welfare
Dept. has made a study which
skaters the notion that school
integration adds to Juvenile delin-
quency, or that there is any con-
nection between them.
In the four years since the su-
preme Court school decision, the
DC. Welfare Dept. finds that de-
linquency among Washington's Ne
gro children has declined sharply.
The rate fell from 37.1 out of 1000
to PIP out Of 1000 Negro kids.
The period covered ran from 1854
to 1858.
Among white children there was
not much change. In 1854 out Of
1000 whites there were 1873 in
trouble Of some sort. In 1858 there
were 1872 out Of 1000.

St. Paul recorder., 1959-03-27

Massachusetts, Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota and the other
front-runners, the national spot
light still shines brightly on Lyn-
don B. Johnson of Texas. AS lead
er of his party in the Senate, as
the man Ike calls to the White
House, and simply as an astute
politician Johnson is a natural
when it comes to making news
paper copy.
Certainly Johnson has had more
and better publicity breaks than
most other men in the news from
Washington. The results are no
small tribute to his bright pub
Iicity adviser, George E. Reedy,
who was once a crack newsman
himself. But if Reedy had lesser
material to work with, his talents
as a publicity man would be lost.
So much of the credit for john
sons present prominence belongs
to johnson himself.
For weeks and months john
sons name has been in the head
lines. In the Saturday Evening
Post, my respected colleague Ste
wart Alsop did a full-length pro-
file on the man from the Lone
Star state. Other correspondents
have been lavish in their praise,
notably columnist William L.
White, formerly of The New York
Times.
Now, suddenly and without a
complete explanation, Joseph Al
sop, Stewards brother, has come
to the conclusion that johnson
Is out Of the presidential pic
ture. His reason for arriving at
this conclusion Is that James
Rowe, once one of FDR's "anOny-
nous" White House assistants,
has teamed up with Humphrey.
AS most insiders in Washington
know, Rowe has been close to
Johnson for many years. So far as
we can determine there Is nothing
to indicate that any rift has taken
place. So the question that natur-
ally arises is why Is Rowe now
teaming up with Humphrey
A MATTER OF STRATEGY
The simple way to find out what
Rowe is up to-if he Is up to any
thing might be to ask him. But
that's too easy. Several writer's

question of Rowe's connections
with Humphrey, but none appar-

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 81
(AP).-W. Hal Bishops Hare
Raising, hustled into an early
lead by Jockey Bobby Baird,
had more than enough left in
the stretch today to post a
four-length victory in the
Letellier Handicap at the Fair
Grounds.
Baird shot the 6-year-old son
of Apache out of the gate on
top and the Bishop color-beare
was never headed in the mile
ne-eighth event. Tena-
"ious, 3-5 favorite of the 1887
fans, took the place spot with
a nose edge over Pete's Folly,
who was coupled with the
winner.
The Bishop entry was lightly
and paid $13.40, $4.20
and $3.50. Tenacious, who set a
track record for a mile and
ne-sixteenth in last weeks
Lecomte, paid SO and $3.50.
The winner was timed in
