he can get away with it anywhere.
So those Northern Democrats
who insist that Lyndon B. john
son is no more likely to become a
candidate for President than Sen.
Richard Russell of Georgia or Eu-
gene Talmadge of the same state,
had better take a new look at the
man from Texas.
Even though there are many
observers still inclined to laugh
off Lyndon, he is taking his own
possible choice as Democratic nom
nation with the utmost serious
ness. Even if he should not emerge
as the candidate this time, John
son will certainly be an important
force at the 1860 Los Angeles Con-
vention. Apparently there will be
no Estes Kefauver this time to
stop him.
In light of the situation that
seems to be developing, it is likely
that Northern Democrats, no mat
ter which candidate they favor
will eventually become more
watchful Of the Johnson record
than they have been up to now
From the liberal viewpoint, that
record is not terribly impressive;
in fact it often seems to be nc
record at all.
Recently, Rep. Carl VlnsOn ID.

Democrat, was reported to have
told associates: 1--WE have no

thing significant in public housing
comes up, they will fight it as toe
expensive, wild and radical. It's 8
negative policy, but not a pro-
gram.
The word moderation" some,
how gets lost in the shuttle wher
they come to discussing the 27h
per cent tax cut known as the
"depletion allowance" That spec
ial tax cut is not regarded by
johnson or Rayburn as excessive
In their circle it's simply an 'in

A STEP AHEAD

AS was expected, the Postmaster
General has formally asked the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
permission to increase fourth class
mail rates - the parcel post CLASH
fication. These rates were not affected
by the general postage increases
which went into effect at the start
of the current fiscal year.
The requested increase will average
III per cent, and is to begin next
October. 1t will increase parcel post
revenues by 1888 million a year -
slightly more than the $S8 million a
year which, according to Post Office
estimates, the service is losing.
This Is certainly step in the right
direction. The law requires, and has
always required, that parcel post SER

II Is TO be hoped that the G. G.
promptly concurs in the Postmaster
General eminently reasonable re-
quest. But question will remain
whether or not the projected rate
increase is sufficient. In addition to
direct losses, parcel post has been
responsible for heavy indirect losses.
For instance, it is not charged for the
use of space in government owned
buildings, for retirement benefits and
compensation for workers. and for
other important expenses. A sound
parcel post rate structure should con-
slider the indirect overhead as we'll
as the direct.
