the part OF the PRESIDENT Will De
interpreted as "appeasement" of
the Old Guard.
For the President the situation
that confronts him could not have
developed at a worse time. This
Is not battle Of his choosing. Yet
he cannot escape its consequences.
If Mr.. Kennedy is determined to
carry out his campaign pledges,
including federal aid for public
schools and medical care for the
aged within the Social Security
system, he cannot remain on the
sidelines.
This does not mean that The
White House must plunge into
the battle at this stage. What 1t
must prevent is allowing the
question Of succession to be set
tied entirely on the basis Of SEN
iority.
Within the confines Of the pol
itical fraternity the seniority sys-
tenn may be regarded as sacred.
So far as the general public is con-
cerned there is nothing sacred
about it. 1t is often viewed as a
device to reward those who go
along" and to keep power in a
self-perpetuating group Of polite
ians.
The public has a right to know,
for example, - and the White
House staff inevitably must do the
asking - where John Mccormack
stands on the school bill and
whether he will help get it out of
the Rules Committee.
Similar questions may well be
addressed to other candidates
for House Majority Leader and
Democratic Whip about free
trade, medical care, and civil
rights legislation.
The President is in a position,
If he wishes, to drive a hard bar
gain. He is not helpless in this
situation, nor is he powerless. In
deed If he cannot handle McCor-
mack there will be many who
wonder, as they have before, about
his ability to handle Khrushchev
and the much tougher problems
that come across his desk each
day.
Nor should Mccormack alone

be asked for commitments. The
public Is entitled to know more
about the other candidates for
Majority Leader and Democratic
whip. What are their outside
commitments Who were their
campaign contributor? Who
worked for their election?
In making a change of this mag
nitude, it is not enough to say
that all the aspirants voted
right. There is an old technique
among politicians of voting right"
yourself and lining up enough
votes for what you really want to
cancel out your own vote.
The selection Of a new Speak
er is not a One-day affair. Mr..
Sam was Speaker for a period
covering two decades.
But it was not his longevity that
won him friends and a place in
history. Sam Rayburn was, at a
crucial period in American history,
quite willing to fight for those
things that distinguished the lib
eral Democrats from the stand
patters.
Some people say 1 wasn't

listed them as: the Truth in Sec
urities Act, the Railroad Holding
Company Act, the bills to estab-
fish the SEC, the FEC, and the
Public Utilities Holding Company
bill. In 1886, along with Sen.
George w. Norris, he fought the
private power companies to estab-
ish the Rural Identification Act.
Sam Rayburn, in his own way,
did not merely pay lip service to
the New Deal He fought for it.
Among the present candidates for
the House leadership there is no
question about their ability to
fight; the question is for what
will they fight?
