When Speaker Sam Ray
burn announced last week
end that he was launching
a drive to make a presidential
candidate Of his fellow Texan,
Senator Lyndon B. johnson,
majority leader Of the Senate,
he was throwing down a
gauntlet to Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Paul M.
Butler and his fellow radicals
from the North. Mr.. Butler
and others Of his group have
attacked again and again
the Democratic leadership OF,
Congress. spark-plugged by
Speaker Rayburn and Senator
Johnson. Mr.. Butler and his
group have gone even further
than that, expressing their
entire readiness to read
Southern Democrats out of
the Democratic Party If they
would not accept any candi-
date and any party platform
which the radicals might
force upon them. That is
not the kind Of thing the
Speaker, often called "Mr.
Democrat" is inclined to
swallow lying down.
The implications Of Speaker
Rayburn's move in support
of Lyndon Johnson for the
presidential nomination are
manifold. Not only is he pro-
posing to make a favorite-
son candidate of the Senator,
backed solidly by the big
Texas delegation in the 1860
Democratic National Conven-
ton, but he has intimated
he will go into other States,
North and South, to erect a
bloc of johnson delegates
that will be a real force in
the convention. Mr.. Rayburn,
like many other Democrats,
believes Senator johnson is
far and away the most able
Of the many potential candi-
dates for top place on the
party ticket.
If the Speaker is able to
gather the support of such
a bloc of johnson delegates,
he will hand Mr.. Butler and
the radicals a caveat, a warn
ing that the Democrats who
have followed his and Sena-
tor Johnson's leadership in
Congress do not intend to be
manhandled. With Senator
johnson as its spearhead, this
bloc Of delegates may yet be-
come a dominating force in
the selection of the party'S
presidential nominee.
Anti-Rayburn Move Seen
1t has been rumored that
Chairman Butler and the
radicals, determined on abso-
lutte control of the national
convention, were anxious to
displace Speaker Rayburn as
permanent Chairman of the
Democratic National Conven-
tion-an Office he has filled
many timeS-in order to have
a chairman of their own. 1t
looks as though Mr.. Rayburn,
if he continues as leader of q
Johnson-for- President drive,
might take himself out of
the Craftsmanship and be-
come a powerful figure on the
floor of the convention.
Mr.. Rayburn has a vast
number of friends in the
Democratic Party. He might,
as head Of a powerful John
son bloc of delegates, find a
number of allies-for ex-

IAN international declara-
ton of the rights of the

what the younger generation
is entitled to receive" seek
ing ito protect children from
discrimination, neglect, cruel
ty and exploitation; but re-
jecting certain welfare state
Communist proposals ION the
ground that interference in
the domestic affairs OF in
dividual countries must be
avoided.
This declaration is, in toto,
in violation of the prohibit
ton of the U,N. Charter
against intervention "in mat
tiers which are essentially
within the domestic iuris-
diction of any state" The
government Of the child is
a matter entirely within the
Jurisdiction of its natural
guardian and the laws of the

thereto, and could not in any
event be the affair of the

Not Necessarily So

In your OCTOBER ~ eolto-
rial, mot Necessarily &c." you
ask: why should a fresh
start, with the past buried,
necessarily lead to a worsen-
ing Of relations? If we
have nothing better to offer.
let's meet MI. Khrushchev
on the testing ground of
peaceful coexistence, and
let's not be frightened by
the phrase itself. There will
be a struggle, but we can
win it if we want to win it."
According to a Reuters
dispatch from London on
october 10, Premier Khru-
shchev said: Peaceful CO.
existence means continuation
of the struggle between the
two social systems but by
peaceful means, without war,
without interference by one
state in the internal affairs
of another"
What this amounts to, in
my opinion, is that Khru-
= shchev realizes that hot war
no longer pays off, but the
Soviets have had great sue
cess in applying cold war
techniques of political action,
political, psychological and
mic warfare, and
through them have taken
over the Balkans and China,
adding 800 million people to
the orbit. His call for peace
full coexistence" simply
means that we are to con-
tinue to combat these tech
niques to prevent him from
taking over more people and
more territory.
If this is a fresh start"
I, for one, prefer to go on
as we were. The only thing
sincere about Khrushchev is
his desire for cessation OF
hot war so that he can con-
tinue his cold war and. if
possible, get us to finance this
process of bringing about our
own downfall.
F. r. EIdridge,
Peaceful coexistence with
the USSR is an imposSibility.
Good and evil cannot survive
in proximity.
But how solid does our
great Nation stand? 1t totters
when a newspaper recon-
mends that this Nation ex-
tend it's honored hand to
grasp the blood-stained one
of the Soviet whose avowed
purpose. is to pursue its
murderous trail over the
corpses of men striving and
desiring to be free. Before
the interests of the United
States and the USSR become
compatible a profound change
must of necessity take place.
Either this Nation accepts
the Kremlin's atheiStic code,
with all its tyranny, treach-
cry and filth, or the USSR
accepts our democratic way
of life with all the privileges
and amenities enjoyed by our
citizens.
