Governmental bureaus are like old
soldiers, only more so. They don't die
and they rarely fade away, ever when
their original purpose is fulfilled. One
such bureau, recently put ION notice"
by the senate to tend to its W parti
cularly knitting, is the Rural Electrifi-
cation Administration.
The REA was established by con-
gress in 1886 to lend money for rural
electrical development. Today there are
nearly 1000 REA-financed cooperatives
in the country, serving 20 million GUS
toners in 6 states. Electricity Is now
available to SO per cent Of all Ameri-
can farms.
Having achieved Its original goal, REA
might be expected to take a deserved
bow and begin to fade gracefully from
the scene. But such, the senate has
learned. is not the case. The REA has
sought new worlds to conquer. And the

the tragedy can have a strange
sequel - a turning toward
the ideals expressed by the de-
parted leader. Opinions will diff
fer as to the efficacy Of particu-
lar proposals. Debate will con-
tinue on the merits of various
legislative programs. But there
will be a new awarness of the
depth of feeling throughout this
country about the Importance of
national unity.
The new president, Lyndon B.
Johnson, fortunately is a man
Of long experience in Congress
and particularly in the post of
Senate majority leader. He has
an intimate friendship with
many members on Capitol |
and acquaintance with their state
problems - even closer perhaps
than his predecessor happened to
enjoy.
Mr.. johnson is a Skillful ne
gotiator and mediator. He knows
how to win support for the mea-
sures he champions. He has a
keen understanding Of public
opinion trends. Like every vice
president who has been given
the task of filling out a preSi-
dental term, he will seek to

AS for world policy, President
Johnson will be under a strain
in getting familiar quickly with
all the nuances of our delicate
relations with other govern
ments, but he can apply tn
same perceptive qualities to for
eign affairs as he does to do
nestle policies.
Above all, the influence of
John F. Kennedy will remain to
spur the new President on to
achieve the unfinished task - an
understanding between rival
powers which could give aSsur-
ance of an era of peace.
It will be recalled that the
words of the 86th Psalm pro-
claim that "All nations W h o m
Thou has made shall come and

Allen-Scott Report
RFk For vP Spot?

WASHINGTON, Attorney
General Robert Kennedy looms
as a distinct possibility as Presi-
dent Johnson's running m a
next year.
This dramatic political likeli-
hood was a major topic of dis
cussion among the scores Of
Democratic governors, national
committeeman and other party
leaders who poured into the
Capital for the funeral Of the
assaSsinated President. In be-
tween the tragic obsequieS, the
politicos co~njectured worriedly
about their own and the party'S
prospects in 1864.
Uppermost in these muffled
discussions was the question Of
the vice presidential choice. On
that, three factors appeared to
be taken for granted:
President johnson will head
the ticket. None of the Demo
cratic chiefs indicated the slight
est doubt about that. There were
no hints or any other intima-
tons that he might be challeng-
ed for the nomination. All the
talk assumed he is now
top party leader and will be
its standard-bearer.
Johnson's preference will be
decisive in the selection of the
No. 2 man on the ticket. There
was much talk about antici-
pated j~ockeying and maneuver-
ing for his favor; that potent
preSSureS will be exerted in be-
half of various candidates. But
the feeling was general that
whoever Johnson gave the nod
to would be approved by the
convention.
The Attorney General, 38-year
old brother of the late President
and his closest adviser and con-
fidant, must be considered a
leading aSpirant for the vice
presidency. Among his intimates
it has long been no secret that
Bobby" harbors ardent nation
al political ambitions and hopes
to emulate his slain brother.
The view also was G general
among the Democratic politicos,
particularly from the West and
industrial North, that the Attor-
ney General has some ace
cards IN his aggressive and de-
termined hands.
AS one key MidweStern
leader expressed it, Lyndon
Johnson will have to make the
same kind of a deal with Bob
by Kennedy that his late broth
er made with johnson in 1860
to assure victory. A Johnson
Kennedy ticket is going to be
the answer to what our party
needs in next years very I'M

The National Safety Council
and other organizations with the

that there is an important lesson
to be drawn from highway fatality
figures thus far this year. It is
that with fatalities running ahead
Of 1862, all indications are that
1868 will produce a worse record.
This means, simply, that the odds

see why they are so noSy on the
subject Of forcing people to pre-
vent tooth decay when there are
so many other things of far
greater Importance to be nosy
about. If the liberals want to
do something about the water
supply they might better turn
their attention to the wide
spread pollution of streams
throughout the United States.
When | was growing up on the
Connecticut shore, | could gath
er oysters from the beach at.
ter a storm and eat them, raw
if | liked, without worrying about
bacterial pollution from sewage
flowing out of the rivers.
l used to swim in a lake that
is now condemned because OF
industrial wastes. | have spent
dismal days in certain cities on
the Great Lakes drinking water
that is so heavily chlorinated
that it makes one gag. New York
is one of the few places where
one can get decent water.
Instead of fighting to put fluo-
rides into city water, the liber.
ais ought to be spending their
time trying to get bacteria and
the apparently inevitable chic
rine out Of the water. After all,
the old common law as it was
applied to running streams Sti-
pulated that one might use the
water provided one did not SUBJ
stantially change either the vol
ume or the quality Of its flow.
But the law is mostly a dead
letter. Paper mills and chemi-
cal factories now flout the law
with impunity. AS for supposed
ly law-abiding city governments,
they frequently refuse to treat
the sewage which they permit
to be emptied into rivers, lakes
and coastal waters.
With this sort Of lawlessneSS
taking both the taste and the
safety out of the water supply,
how can a good liberal spend
his time on a marginal fight
to put a little fluorine into the
reservoirs? Where is the liber-
ais sense Of proportion?
FluorideS, Smuorides, the
whole fight is a great bore. But

For Bible Reudinq

n All the time is the best time
for Bible reading. AS Joseph Cook,
the noted American lecturer of
the 10Th century, SO aptly put it:
"Do you know a book that you
are willing to put under your head
for a pillow when you lie dying?
That is the book you want to study
while you are living. There is but
one such book in the world"
There are many and various
ways of reading the Bible to draw
from it inspirational messages,
words of encouragement and COM
fort, hope for today and assurance
for tomorrow and tomorrow's to-
morrow. Even to browse through
this Book Of Books is better than
never to open its pages.
However, one sure way of gain
ing much is to read according to a
pattern set out by great students
of the Bible. This year, for the
goth consecutive time, the Ameri-
can Bible Society has selected ap-
propriate passages from the Scrip
lures for reading between Thanks
giving and Christmas.
It will be recalled that this
practice was instituted during the
early years of World War II when
a lonely Marine on Guadalcanal in
the Pacific asked the Society to
suggest identical passages for him
and his far-away family to read
on simultaneous dates. 1t was his
idea that such reading would
establish spiritual bonds.

WASHINGTON, - A change
has come over us in America
and perhaps over the world.
It's an involuntary change, to
be sure, precipitated by the sud-
den passing of a world leader,
the late President of the United
States John F. Kennedy. But it
could be a change that FORCES a
new unity in the world. 1t could
be a change that brings stabili-
ty to our home front Of friction
and emotional controversy.
The mood Of this country and
of the peoples abroad today is
one Of serious contemplation.
Hundreds of millions of persons
on this continent and on other
continents saw by televiSion or
heard by radio the funeral serv-
ices for the American PreSi-
dent. The impact of this sole
mnity cannot be measured as
yet, but it may have put into
perspective the fateful forces
that tear nations apart or threat
en- to destroy human lives in
a military conflict between pow
erful countries.
Representatives Of more than
so nations came to attend the
final rites for the dead Presi-
dent, including President
Charles de Gaulle of France,
Chancellor Ludwig Erhard Of
West Germany, Prime Minister
Sir Alec Douglas : Home OF
Great Britain, Premier Hayato
Ikeda of Japan, Deputy Pre-
mier Anastas Mikoyan OF the
Soviet Union. Heads of state
walked in silence for a half
mile behind the caisson which
carried the casket bearing the
man who strove so earnestly to
further the cause of world
peace. Nearly 100 dignitaries
from all over the world were
present at the church and buri-
al services.
What must have been the
thoughts of these leaders as
they meditated on the meaning
of mortal life and its lost OPP
portunities!
Thanks to the inventions OF
man, instantaneous communica-
ton throughout the world has
been made possible. No such
wide coverage on the sam
day, simultaneously with the
occurrence of a news event, has
been achieved in the past. The
total watching and listening au-
dience was probably the great
est ever assembled.
But since communication has
been so effective once on this
occasion, it challenges man to
employ it in the future in the
cause of self-preservation a
human survival. For the death
Of millions by nuclear war has
been envisioned as feasible with
today's weapons. While treaties
and agreements to ban certain
nuclear tests have been signed,
small wars will not provoke
bigger ones and lead to tremer-
douS destruction Of human life.
AS one man passed so quickly
from our midst to the world
beyond, this single death could
encourage the peoples of this
world to reach out for unity and
a better way of communicating
with each other in order to re-
strain the ambitions and evil
purposes that arise in the minds
of thoughtless rulers.
Within the United States, too,
The chronicle., 1963-11-29

That this trend, with all its
ominous implications, applies to
Mississippi and Alabama as well
as other states, is suggested by
statistics showing both these states
traffic tolls for this year are rum
ming ahead of last years tolls to
date.
So, as can be seen, the acceler-
ated death rate doesn't appear to
be happen-so or temporary but,
rather, something that has set in
and is permanent.

"A highly influential Democrat
ic leader from Philadelphia,
which gave the late President
a phenomenal 800, 900 majority
that swung Pennsylvania into
his column and thus n nailed
down his hairline election, ana
lyzed the Attorney Generals
prospects this way:
"As a result Of President Ken
nedy's death, next years cleo
ton is now wide open. AS he
himself said, he expected a
long and hard fight and with
him out Of the picture, it will
be infinitely more so. Johnson

support he can muster to win.

cial voter groups Kennedy could

Catholics and Negroes. | know
that is absolutely true in my
county. Those blocS we're a cinch
for Kennedy, and | would say
the same is virtually true in
every other metropolitan d
industrial center. But that isn't
the case as far as johnson is
concerned. He still has to win
these groups as conclusively as
they were for his predecessor.
Zone Of the best ways he can
do that is by having a Kennedy
as running mate. And that
Kennedy is Bobby, because in
the public mind, and part-
cularly these voter blocS, he
is inseparabIy associated with
Ills UIULIl6Is
Bobby is a Catholic and he
is a foremost champion Of civil
rights. That will hurt in some
areas and with some elements.
But on the basis Of the over
whelming sentiment Of my cleo
torate, that hostility is greatly
offset by the other two consid-
erationS.
"For us, a Johnson-Kennedy
ticket means a winner En- o
top to bottom. And that's what
I'm going to tell the President
as soon as ! can"

This Week Washington Talked
About: The Civil Rights March,
The Rail Strike, The Retarded
Child Care Bill..........
Civil Rights March: Washington
this week was the scene of a
memorable and historic public
gathering Thousands of Americans
from across the nation journcYed
to the Nations Capital to petition
their government and fellow citi-
zcns for a greater aWarcncss of
civil rights and civic responsibilities.
This peaceful demonstration is
now past. but it remains for the
Congress to consider and act up
on meaningful legislation addressed
to the civil rights problems now
confronting the nation.
Congress Acts To Avert Strike:
Last minute legislation by Congress
has once again removed the inn
mediate threat to the American
economy of paralyzing railroad
strike. The Congressional Resolu-
ton, which was signed into law
just few hours before the strike
dcadline, creates seven man ar
bitration panel to settle strike
free period to permit the parties
to bargain collectively the re-
naming issues now in dispute.
From the very beginning of this
Session Of Congress, have re-
peatedly advocated the establish
ment of a select panel to carefully
analyze and suggest solutions to
the problem of paralysis strikes
1t is more important than ever
that we search for a permanent
solution to these labor manage
ment problems and the answer
must be consistent with the rule
OF law. 1t should preserve the
principles of free collective bar
gaining but should not favor the
interests of any one economic
group at the expense of the
American public and of the Ma
tons prosperity and well-being
In 1868 we have now dealt with
the longshoremen's strike, the
New York newspaper strike. and
the railroad strike on a crisis to
crisis basis. The American people

not some better way to protect

uppance last week. The House of
Representatives sIashed S585,000,-
900 from President Kennedys
foreign aid request, passed the
scissorcd measure, and sent it on
its way to the Senate-a setback
for the Administration advocates
of unlimited spending and a VIC
tory for the economy forces. The
big margin for economy in the
House roll call vote was one of
the biggest defeats President Ken
ncdy has yet suffered in the Con-
gress. The cut on the House Floor,
following other cuts in commit
tees, brought the amount in the
authorization bill to S3,502 100000,
compared to the S4,945 100000 orig
inally requested by the President
for foreign aida saving to the
American taxpayers of 81 433,000,-
000 This is an authorization bill;
the battle for actual funds is still
to be fought. Usually, the appro-
priation is for less than the au-
thorization. What the Senate does
about the House authorization bill
remains to be seen.
The cut reflected growing dis
content with foreign aid, which
has cost us more than S10O,OO00O0,-
coo since 1945. Former full-fledged
supporters of foreign aid in the
House voted for the cut this time
rejecting the will of the people.
AS a colleague remarked, "The
wall from home is demand that
fat and fat-headedness be cut out

Maternal Health and Mental Re-
tardation Legislation: A commend
able and noteworthy measure was
considered by the House of Rep
resentatives this week when de-
bate was held on a bill designed
to aid states and local agencies
in preventing and combating men
tai retardation. The bill, which was
approved by the House extends
and improves maternal, child
health. and crippled children care
programs throughout the country.
II is good to note that there is to
be this increased attention directed
to retarded child care and that
Congress has seen fit to make
significant progress in a national
child health program. One of the
eaddest human wastes is that of
the retarded child who, lacking
the advantages of special training,
is incapable of participating in the
world In the future many of these
children will be brought up to
take their places and to help
carry part of the burden of civili-
zation in their generation as a re-
suit of the training made possible
under this program. In this work,
the efforts of DR.. Robert Cooke
of the Johns Hopkins University
Hospital in Baltimore are to be
particularly commended. We are
indeed fortunate to have the serv-
ices of so scholarly pcdiatrician
who has pioneered in this field.
