What happened to the Demo
cratic leadership that has caused
the present Congress to turn out
far different from original ex-
pectations? Well, you pays your
money and you takes your choice.
The Wall ST. Journal, express
ing no regrets, says that this
Congress is cautious, compro-
missing and unexciting." Big bus
inessmen, it says in effect, have
nothing to worry about. While it
offers no simple explanation of
the reasons for the Democratic
showdown it suggests that bust
ness is once again SO good all the
pressure from the liberal left"
has lost its steam.
This explanation is not with
out its merits. But / think the
problem goes deeper than that;
it goes to the personality and
private interests of the men who
are running the show. At the
beginning of the year Johnson
made a number of high sounding
speeches dealing with world af
fairs and outer space. No one
took him seriously because ev-
eryone knew Lyndon's heart be-
longs deep in the heart of Texas
oil.
THE RETURN FROM OUTER
SPACE-Johnson managed to get
some good publicity out of these
"statesmanlike" announcements
and that was about all he wanted.
When there was no more mile
age to be gotten he returned to
his ordinary pursuits as champion
of special interests, even agreed
that there must be no reckless
federal spending" and let Sen.
Harry F. Byrd scuttle senate
approved worwmen's compensa-
ton measure by yielding in a
House Senate conference COM
mittee.
In many ways Johnson reminds
me of a man named H. Sanders
Angela, who is currently rum
ming for vice mayor of Nashville,
Tenn. In announcing his decision
to run Angela said:
My many friends have not
prevailed upon me to become a
candidate for reelection and
have not been told that the city
needs my services; the truth Of
the matter is, I want the job
again"
Nobody has asked johnson to
be the Democratic leader" He
stepped in when a vacuum ex-
listed. None of the Democrats
