Johnson's talk of progress" and
senatorial courage" in retaining
the status quo. They will certainly
remember it when they are barred
entry to good colleges because
they are nder-educated.
JOHNSON'S REAL BLUNDER
But applying Johnson's own
standards as politician can his
handling of the filibuster fight be
considered a genuine success? The
answer, I believe, must be mo-.
I say that because to a politician
the real measure of success is
what was accomplished?
When you apply that standard
the answer must be very little.
The filibuster episode showed ev-
erybody that Johnson could be
tough, humorless and obstinate.
But that's not much to survive
on and it came as no surprise to
anyone. The history of the Senate
and the House of Representatives
is full of stories about political
leaders who were able to crack the
whip over their followers.
At one point near the end Of
the debate johnson was running
rOughshOd over the Senate Iber-
ais and Sen. Hubert Humphrey
d., MIMI urged the Senator
from Texas "tO be a little toler-
ant in this, his moment Of tri-
umph."
Johnson listened, but he did not
hear. The result is that he has
succeeded in alternating some Is
senators many from the most pop
ulated sections of the country.
That, I believe, may prove his big
mistake. He had to choose between
them and the IS senators from
Dixie mot all of them admirers
by any means).
johnson made his choice. But
to think the American public is
enchanted with the way Negroes
are being treated in Dixie, or with
the closing of public schools, is
an error of major dimensions.
In the weeks to come johnson
is likely to find that the price for
his triumph is much higher than
he ever suspected.

johnson himself insists that
the Senate was only rejecting
the popular will. What is that
will, presumably as reflected in
last NOvember's election? In
JOhnsOn's opinion.
That will is a will, in all sec
lions for progress, for unity, for
reason and for courage. All these
high goals have been served by the
Senate's course.
His prose is not likely to go down
in history alongside Lincoln's Get

examining because it was the last
thing johnson had to say before
the Senate voted on his alleged
filibuster compromise.
