New Energy in
Macmillan Talk

LONDON. Nov. 26 (AP)-
Vice President-elect johnson
has promised British Prime
Minister Macmillan "a new
burst Of energy" when the
Kennedy administration takes
over the White House January
20.
The Texas Senator spent
several hours last night with
Mr.. Macmillan in which he
outlined the general aims
President-elect John F. Ken
nedy intends to pursue.
Qualified informants said to-
day they boiled down to this:
l. Fiscal responsibility" at
home. so that the money is
there to meet commitments
abroad.
2. A global drive to prove that
capitalism can give a worker
more security than commu-
niSm.
3. Broadened social security
in the United States to serve
as an example to the rest of
the world.
4. Full-scale backing Of the
Western alliance wherever
needed. with either support or
required leadership.
Senator johnson was de-
scribed as having outlined a
broad policy program Ringing
on British-American partner
ship to build up strength eco
nomically and politically. From
such a position of strength, it
was said, approach to the Com
munists as well as influence on
the uncommitted Asian-African
areas would be more effective
than just rocking along" in
cold war.
Flight to d. C. Set
The Vice President-elect flies
back to Washington tomorrow.
He will see President-elect
Kennedy almost Immediately
with words Of encouragement
from Mr.. Macmillan as well as
from President Charles de
Gaulle, with whom he had a
50-minute audience in Paris.
