THE NEW COALITION

HE NEW (OALI ION
The unwillingness of the White
House openly to take sides in the
battle to choose a successor to the
late Sam Rayburn as Speaker of the
House has produced some strange
effects.
The liberal Democrats, ordinarily
outspoken, are silent. They seem re-
signed to the election of Congressman
John Mccormack of Massachusetts,
and talk of him as a sure thing. OBJ
viously they would prefer someone
more in tune with the ideals of the
New Frontier but they are restrained
by the belief that only the conserva-
tives would benefit by an open row.
This is a rather short-range APP
proach and one that could prove
costlier to all the Democrats than
they now calculate. So far as the
liberals are concerned unless they
are willing to wage an about battle
for the Speakership they could lose
their bargaining power even to win
lesser posts.
What has happened is that the
House liberals have got themselves
into a box. The only man who has a
chance of preventing McCormack's
election is Congressman Albert Rains
of Alabama. He is considered to be
in the early Sam Rayburn tradition.
But some liberals are worried about
his Southern background.

McCormack's position on aid to paro-

problems to be met in the next two

i new Speaker is not one-year
affair.
The Speaker, if he is in the Ray
)urn tradition, has profound influ-
ence on the course of foreign affairs.
He has an important voice with the
commissions. He can, if

WATCH ON The POTOMAC


Democrats undoubtedly are asking
themselves if Mccormack measures
/ up. Privately they say mo-. Publicly
they say nothing. Every few years
we hear talk about national leader
ship, or the lack thereof. Yet here
we are at crucial point with many
Democrats ready to follow. But there
is no liberal leadership, only conserva-
tive leadership, in the Speakership
fight.
The one man who is showing fight
is Congressman Richard Boiling of
Missouri who seeks the No. 2 spot
as Majority Leader. But if McCor-
mack's election is foregone con-
clusion, then Congressman Carl AL
bert of Oklahoma will probably move
up the seniority escalator along with
him.
What we see happening, unless
there is an unexpected turn of events,
is the formation of new coalition
that cuts across geographical lines.
The Old South wants Mccormack and
does not particularly want the South
erner, Rains. The Big City delegates
want Mccormack because they see
him as bulwark against the growth
of the Democratic reform movements
in the metropolitan areas.
Other factions have additional rea-
sons for wanting Mccormack. Howard
Smith of Virginia undoubtedly sees
his power as head of the Rules Com
mittee restored with a weak Speaker.
The. old-line Dixie delegates see Nc
Cormack's opposition to the school
billshelping their last-ditch fight to
restrain school segregation.
For some of the big bosses McCor-
mack's election has important relig-
ious undertones; in other ways he is
more to their liking than their fellow
Catholic who happens also to be
President. -
The White House strategy is, of
course, subject to revision. If solid
anti-MeCormack movement developed
without official prodding, the Presi-
dent would probably not be per-
turbed. There are, however, some
members of the White House political
staff who would rather have peace at
almost any price in 1862.
In the background there are, of
course, rumors than an understanding
has been reached, namely, that if Nc
Cormack is elected Speaker his
nephew will step aside in favor of
Ted Kennedy for the Senate seat
from Massachusetts.
No fight for such crucial post
as Speaker is ever likely to be with
out it's undercurrents. But those
liberal Democrats who are putting
expediency first may find them
selves a rather lonely and ineffec-
tive group come January If they
do not exert their power now.

HI. L. Hunt, the right-wing Texas
oil Millionaire, is financing so pei
cent of the "Life Line'' political
religious radio programs now heard
six days week over 100 stations in
% states.
Rev. Wayne Poucher, preacher on
the programs and developer of the
"Life Line" idea, confirmed Hunts
sponsorship in an interview with
LABOR. Hunts interest was first re-
vealed recently by the TEXAS OBJ
SERVER, a crusading Texas weekly.
''Mr. Hunt" said Poucher, SIS a
prime person in sponsoring our
programs. He or his companies are
the sponsors in about 60 of the 100
markets.
Several years ago Hunt sought to
convert the nation to his reactionary
views by sponsoring an outfit called
Facts Forum but he eventually
withdrew his support from that. The
"Life Line" setup-which comes
equipped with a tax-exempt Life Line
Foundation-got under way in No
NcHLDcT 1900.
Until now, the oil billionaira's mas
sive backing of the Life Line setup
has not been publicly known. Hunt,
now 20, holds no position on the Life
Line Foundations board of directors.
Poucher said Life Line has no con-
nection with Facts Forum, which be-
came highly controversial before Hunt
dropped it. Facts Forum had no re-
igious aspect.
Poucher's 15-minute radio programs
include first speech on public af-
fairs" then hymn, then-as Pouch
oer'sfpromotion put tia wholly re-
ligious sermon free from any over
tones that would cause critics to claim
tits other than religious
On the public affairs" part of the
program, Poucher denied talking poll
tics in the narrow sense. Instead, he |
said, he concentrates on current |
threats to freedom and "fundament- |
al principles of constitutional free
DOM eaa G9a4
e Poucher said he also talks about
initiation, the welfare state and con-
stitutional rights.
Asked for his views on the welfare
state, Poucher said: 'I'm against a
police welfare state" He also said
that with over 100 million professed
Christians in America, he couldn't
see why welfare" from either local,
state of federal governments should
be needed.
VERY CONSERVATIVE
81 am very conservative person."
Poucher declared.
Expressing gratitude for Hunts
sponsorship, Poucher explained it as
follows: '4Mr. Hunt is vitality inter
ested in constitutional concepts of
government and willing to spend
money to sponsor such program.
Hunt was supporter of the late
Senator Joseph r.. Mccarthy Or
Wis., and once declared: 81 have
no faith in either the Republican
or Democratic parties" He thought
they were both too liberal"
TAX LOOPHOLE FORTUNE
Like the other Texas oil moguls,
Hunt owes much of his billion-dollar
fortune to the big federal income tax
