WILLIAM S. WHITE

1t may be early to ring
the glad, glad bells, but this
correspondent really thinks
not.
Whatever else may happen
in the presidential election,
there is now reason to believe
this country is nearly rid at
last of two sets of extremists
which have plagued its poll
tics for decades. These are:
l. The quivering crackpots
of the left wing, whose mall
ice toward any disagreement
is abSurdly vehement and
whose knowledge of sensible
politics is non-existent. 2.
The Bourbons Of the far
right who, learning nothing
Of the present and forgetting
nothing of the past, live in a
generally honorable but to-
tally blind world that never
was.
The action of the Demo-
cratic convention in putting
up the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket has been, in one sense
at least, immensely healthy.
For perhaps its truest signifi-
canoe is this: The reasonably
liberal and the reasonably
conservative factions have
come together in adult deter
mination to put an end to the
long bedevilment of that
party by the irresponsirieS,'
the ultra-liberals and the ul-
tra-conservatives.,
This does not mean that
these reasonable liberals and
reasonable conservatives even
now simply love each other
to death. 1t means that Sem
ator Kennedy and Senator
johnson have seen the dan
gerous realities of this pres
ent age. So they have decided
to pander no more to the
prejudices of those who wish
to stop all change or else
to run forward so fast as to
destroy all traditional values.
Moreover, there is every
prospect that the Republican
convention in Chicago will
take a similar line. Vice
President Nixon, the proSpec-
tive G. o. P. presidential
choice, has no intention to
tear this country apart to
please the either-or fellows
in his party, whether right or
left.
Much has been written
about the mystery of SEN
ator Johnson's agreement to
go along in second place after

DAVID LAWRENCE

LOS ANGELES.-Just why
did Senator Lyndon johnson
accept the vice-presidential
nomination of the Democratic
Party after what he had said
publicly in disparagement of
the candidacy of Senator
Kennedy?
The easy and perhaps SUI
perf1cial answer is that poll
tics is politics, and that what
is said before or during a con-
vention bears no resemblance
to what is said afterward as
the previously rival candi-
dates for the nomination now
wave their arms in the air
and unabashedly cry out for
"a united party"
But there is something else
back Of it all this time.
When word was being pass
ed around the convention hall
last Thursday that Senator
johnson had accepted Sena-
tor Kennedy'S offer of the
vice-presidential nomination,
a close adviser of the Texas
Senator approached this cor
espondent and said:
"I know you will be sur
prised about this, but last
night several of us had a talk
with Senator johnson and
discussed very frankly what
we were up against.
Bear in mind that the
labor leaders fought johnson
for the top place on the
ticket, and they don't like
him. Bear in mind that Jack
Kennedy will make a cam
palgn on virtually a social
istic platform. He may be
less radical if elected, but he
will be plenty radical in the
campaign. What is that 60
ing to do to us in the South
during the coming session of
Congress and later on?
Well. many of us in the
johnson camp felt he just
had to get in there and ex-
ercise a restraining influence.
If elected, Lyndon johnson
will have considerable power
inside the Senate, just as he
has had as majority leader.
I tell you his influence will
be exerted toward safe and

sane policies, and he will be
in there pitching. We told
him he just had to accept the
vice presidential nomination
if offered to him. He had
nothing to lose If defeated,
because he would remain as

There are many people
wondering nevertheless how
the Texas Senator happened
to swallow the platform plank
on civil rights which pledges
the Federal government to
end racial discrimination "in
all areas of community life"
This would appear to mean
in private schools and in clubs
and in the employment
policies Of all business estab-
liShmentS throughout the
South.
The hypocrisy exhibited at
the convention here last week
was, to be sure, rather
brazen, and much of the
phraseology of the party
platform is, Of course, dis
counted as merely designed
to win votes. In the South,
however, the story may yet
prove to be different.
Thus the public has been
told that all the Democratic
leaders with few exceptions,
have agreed to stay loyal" to
the party and go along with
the nominees now that Lyn-
don Johnson has been given a
place on the ticket. But the
assumption that this will
carry the electoral votes of
the South may prove fall
lacious. The voters of the
South will make up their own
minds. Party organizations
can go just so far. Not long

instance, a regular Demo-
cratic organization candidate
was running for the United

Jack Kennedy will rest for
two weeks before beginning
his campaign. At the outset,
because Of the short congress
sional session, this will be
confined to short trips.

will be in the States with
smaller populations since,
when the competition gets
going, he will concentrate 'on
the large centers of votes.
For the Kennedy organiza-
ton there will be no rest. A
new series of polls will be in
itiated. The Senator is a
great man for the proper
image, so his poll takers soon
will be out getting data on
what sort of image the ma
tom has of Jack Kennedy,
now that he possesses the
nomination.

action, as is expected because
of the obvious locked-up con-
dition of this convention,
then the staff experts in pub

will be given the task of
creating the words and &C
tions necessary to correct it.

Star Tv Critic

Talk to most Of the current Tv heroes and
you feel little sorry for their DOORS which took
such q fearful battering from producers, agents
and the like, all begging them to do THEIR
shows.
They succumbed, finally, selecting a show
from the dozen offered. (The dozen always in
cludes several of last seasons hits, thereby Inn
plying that the stars who got them were second
or even third-choice.)
Talk to real star like veteran Robert
Taylor, who began his movie career in 1884 and
has been through it all, like in spades, and the
perspective is refreshingly different.

viewer reaction and the old-fashioned response
to Hollywood movie:

a more familiar reaction, perhaps. People

my only concern in doing TV series was
that it eventually be q quality kind OF show.
And this was inherent before we even started.
The Four-Star outfit is a frst-class organiza-
ton; the people assigned were experienced"
Taylor did approach the series with some
notions about what 1t should be hke-ideas to
which his collaborators agreed.
"I always had the feeling that show Of
this type should move away from the cops-and-
robbers class, without that steady reliance on
blood and thunder Whatever nodicum OF
success we've had is due to the emphasis on
human interest subject matter, think"

Examiners Intrigued By
SUlliyunzs .knoW-HoW,

Super salesman Tim Sullivan
scored major victory at the Board
of Examiners, Wednesday. Sullivan,
former mayor of Butte and founder
of Butte Brass and Valve Co., was
given the go-ahead to prepare an
estimate on the total replacement
cost of all valves and controls in all
the buildings ON the Capitol campus.
Sullivan's sales pitch was one of
the most convincing proposals made
to the Examiners in many. many
meetings. First, Tim thanked Gov.
j. Hugo Aronson and Secretary of
State Frank Murray for the help
they had given him In establishing
Butte Brass. He then extolled the
union contract Butte Brass was OPP
Grating under. He said, "We have
labor's support 100 per cent
Sullivan's Butte valves and con-
trolls will be installed at no cost what
ever to the State. No additional taxes
need be levied by the Legislature.
This is Sullivan's deal with the
State: The last three years utility
bills will be added up to get a base
yearly average. From this average
will be subtracted the reduced for
utilities effected because of the con-
trolled efficiency of heating plant
operations. The remainder is pocketed
by Butte Brass until they get their
back for the valves and con-
trolls.

photostat from the Twin
Bridges Children's Center i'm the

amount of $5,541.20 which Butte
Brass had recovered for their installa-
tion of controls and valves at the
school, in ten-month period.
The clincher in the sales pitch is
the savings in maintenance costs, the
increased productivity of personnel
because of the comfort factor and
eventually the reduced utility costs.
For Montana to progress indus
trially we need more Tim Sullivans
to get in there and sell, and less
