White House Staff

Back in the Eisenhower days there
was a certain tendency to deride the
then Presidents reliance on White
House staff work-a reliance which was
a product of his military experience.
: The fact is, however, that any
President must have a staff If he is
to- function with any degree of effec-
tiyeneSs. There is simply too much
work for any one man, and the better
the staff the better will be the end
result.
This is one reason why President
Johnson has asked the key members
of the White House staff assembled by
John F. Kennedy to stay on. Another
reason is that Mr.. johnson is COM
mitted to carrying out the Kennedy
program-a program for which the
existing staff did much of the spade
work. What, then, could be more SEN
sible than to urge them to stay on?
And what more gratifying than their
reported willingness to stay-at least
for a reasonable period Of time?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-05
LBJ and Mr.. K.

Soviet diplomats in London have
been dropping strong hints that Pre-
mier Khrushchev would like to meet
with President Johnson at the earliest
possible moment. The Premier's idea,
apparently, is that such a meeting,
while not involving negotiations, would
help the cause Of detente by enabling
the two leaders to get acquainted and
take each others measure as human
beings. This makes sense, and the
White House presumably will be re-
ceptive to it.
Certainly a similar get together
between Mr.. KhruShchev and the late
President Kennedy in Vienna, two years
ago, served useful purpose. 1t did
so, not least OF all, in making grimly
clear to Mr.. Kennedy, between the
few pleasant social functions, that the
United States was faced with a for
midable and almost blatantly menac-
ing adversary. Much has happened
since then, Of course. The adversary
seems to have toned down his threats
and turbulence to a marked degree.
AS result, there are indications that
it may be possible to achieve a real
relaxation of East-West tensions, and
to proceed from there-even If slowly
and painfully-to genuinely trustworthy
settlements Of the key contests, such
as the one over Berlin, that divide the
world and keep 1t on the brink of
catastrophe.
President Johnson is no stranger
to any Of this. On the contrary, he
has been directly involved in the shap-
ing Of the Kennedy administration
foreign policy. And when the time seems
ripe to him, when he feels that some
good may come Of such an encounter,
he will surely welcome a personal get
together with Mr.. Khrushchev. Mean
while, though, he must think first Of
Americas key allies and strive to main
tain concert Of views and a firm
united Western front in dealing with
the Kremlin. Hence the talks now
scheduled to be held between him
and West German Chancellor Erhard,
Italian President Segni and British
Prime Minister Sir Alec DouglaS-Ho
AS for General de Gaulle of France,
there still is some question as to when
and where he and Mr.. johnson will
meet-if they do-before a possible
dialogue with the Soviet Premier.
In due course there will be good
reason for such dialogue. If the world
is ever to move toward peace worthy
of the name, this kind Of personal con-
formation must take place, not Just
once but many times. We are in nu-
clear, jet-propelled age that requires an
altogether new sort Of communication
and relationship among the people who
hold the reinS of power.

Christmas Commerce

With the advent Of Advent there
has begun the annual attack on the COM
mercial spirit that rises in the stores at
this time of year. Clergymen thunder
and ladies' auxiliaries moan that Christ
mas has been commercialized and that
something ought to be done.
The complaint seems to be that
the merchants are interested in mer-
chandizing and their customers are
interested In buying gifts.
Try as we will, we find it hard to
share the ecclesiastical alarm over thou
sands of people Swarming through the
shopping areas to pick out gifts for their
families and friends. Panic refuses to
rise at the thought of storekeepers doll
ing their places up and piping in bells
and carols. The whole thing is just too
enjoyable.
At other times, except for the really
dedicated matron, shopping is some
thing Of a drag. Certain things have
to be had and the shopper dutifully
goes forth and gets them. How different
at Christmas! Little shops become jewel
boxes of charm and surprise. The big
delight. It's pleasure just to walk past
the windows. And inside it seems that
the corners of the world have been ran
sacked of their treasures for your en-
chantment.
The mind may dimly know that
behind all the sparkle is grim book
keeper at stand up desk. But the
heart is sure that the store manager
Is Victor Herbert.
AS for his customers, is their some
times fevered concern with finding just
the right gift for the right person really
so foreign to the spirit of Christmas?
If, throughout the year, we pay too little
attention to other peoples happiness,
isn't it good for US, during this one
month of glitter, to think Of it? It may
be naive, but surely it isn't reprehen-
Sible, to try, once year, to buy Joy
in parcel for those we love.

Vatican II

The second session Of the Vatican
Council has ended in an historic decla-
ration of the rights of bishops of the
Roman Catholic Church. More impor-
tant than the numerous detailed militia
tives now established as theirs, either
Singly or in national groups, is the over
all direction of ecclesiastical evolution
indicated in Pope Pauls decree, "The
Pastoral Task"
That direction, obviously, is toward
decentralization. 1t points to growing
autonomy for the bishops and lessen
ing Of the bureaucratic control so long
exercised by the Roman Curia in the
name of the Pope.
The manner of this reversal Of a
centuries long trend is as interesting as
the fact itself. Debate in the Council
clearly indicated that majority of the
bishops favored "collegiality," or the
sharing of the traditionally papal au-
thority among the bishops. The Curia
representation, however, which has
taken position roughly like that of
the old-style Southern Democrats in
Congress, worked nightly to prevent
the will Of the majority from taking

effect. the Curial Cardinal Ottaviani
insisted to the end that everything had
to be passed through his Theological
Commission, to which the council as a
whole, in his view, were merely advisers.
The situation calls to mind Chair
man Smith and the House Rules Com
mittee. The difference is that Pope Paul
was able to overrule rule by simple
fiat and uphold the will of the bishops
by executive decree. Pope Johns up

All Of which suggests strongly that
one foreign ruler President johnson
really should consult with is the Pope
of Rome.
