He emphasized the growing
power of the Negro vote, but said,

Challenges johnson

Federal program IN three
months.
Senator Mcnamara, in a let
ter to Senator johnson recalled
that the Texan first told him he
could not take a position on the
unemployment bill until after
the Finance Committee had
acted.
The Finance Committee voted
down the liberal substitute
1874 and reported out the House
bill to taper of the program
between now and June 80.
Calls Attitude Strange
THAT same day Senator
Clark. Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania. and I talked to you in
the Senate chamber, again
seeking to determine the posi-
ton of the majority leader
ship" wrote Senator Nc
Namara.
Il think I indicated to you
my surprise when you told us
that since the Finance Commit
tee had acted, the majority
leadership could not go against
that action. 1t seemed very
strange to me that you would
say you could do nothing until
| the committee acted and then
say you could do nothing be-
cause it had acted.
+, I'm any event, the matter
came to the Senate floor on
March IS. Despite the lack of
a majority leadership position,
my amendment received a re-
spectacle 38 votes. And i'm
mediately following this, we
were able to pass an amend
ment liberalizing the House bill
to a small degree by a decisive
vote of So to 80. You, of course.
we're not in the Senate that
day. However. Senator Mans

the fact there was no majority

Senator Lyndon Johnson,

today with a new criticism of
his leadership by a member of
his own party.
Senator Mcnamara Of Mich
igan accused the majority lead
err yesterday Of failing TO pro-
vide any leadership in the re-
cent Senate fight over tenn
porary extension Of Federal aid
to the unemployed.
He became the second Demo-
crat to openly attack Senator
Johnson's leadership.
The first was Senator Prox-
mire, Democrat of Wisconsin,
who accused the Texan of ex-
ercising too much control over
fellow Democrats by not calling
regular party conferences be-
fore making policy decisions.
Reply Expected
Senator Mcnamara, on the
other hand. suggested that Sen
ator johnson had avoided the
role Of leader on the unemploy-
ment bill. Inasmuch as the
Mcnamara criticism was con-
tanned in a letter. it is assumed
that there will be some reply.
