President Johnson has

The image he brings to the
White House is that of the
legislative operator, rejoicing
in politics, its skills and
schemes. This is not a large
enough canvas for a Presi-

to perceive.

To Demand Party Loyalty

Mr.. Boiling said in an inter-
view that Congress is not via
ble," or able to live, under its
present structure.
He said it really has not been
viable for a long time but
hasn't been observed as such"
because the late Speaker of the
House Sam Rayburn held it
together and made it work by
his own unmatched personal
prestige and influence.
I'VE staggered along with
the appearance of functioning
largely because of Rayburn,
Mr.. Boiling said. ''It is not the
fault of the Republicans. They
are a conservative party, by
and large. But they are respon-
sible. We (the Democrats on
the other hand, are totally ir-
responsible"
Mr.. Bolling's solution?
1.-THE minimum is, we start
with a demand for at least a
minimum of party loyalty
They must at least support the
national ticket.
THE maximum would have
the effect of altering the power
structure. This is the only kind
of reform that would have any
meaning.
THE faults Of Congress are
not intrinsic, but lie with the
Dem ocratic Party. My ap-
proach is to maximize the num-
Der who behave like Democrats
and minimize those who DON'T

said, by deying the privileges

hinderers, as Presidents are
apt to do, but rather too
openly and at first hand. He
will need some skilled help to
remove this to arms length.
With the press he has been
abnormally sensitive to criti-
ciSm even when the net pic
ture presented was helpful to
him. Sometimes 1t seemed
that what he wanted above
all was to be loved, forgetting
the old maxim that kissing
goes by favor. This was occa-
sionally irksome, occasionally
rather touching, in so conf
dent and successful a man.
The Washington which ex-
lists independently of any
President and even Of party
will soon catch the Johnson
style and set it before the
Nation.
One thing can be stated
confidently. The more people
see of Mrs. johnson the bet
ter they will like her. The
key to her character is unself-
ishneSs and she has for
some time been sharing her
life with Americans who are
far from the limelight here.
The Nation faces an excit-
ing year, with new faces
trying to capture its mag
nation so they can run its
affairs. The solemn debt they
owe the murdered President
is a resolve to consign the
haters to limbo.

Oswald Case Like Many Others

pSYchiatric cases presents to
us? Can guilt be transferred
10 a society as a whole? OF
what avail is it to cry out
that public controversies
with their bitterness gave
rise to this crime which
shocked the whole world?
The absence Of imprisoned
debates on public questions
could hardly have changed
the long history Of this men,
tally disturbed man.
Oswald, to be sure, read
not only the pro-Communist
literature but also the books
critical of communism. He
was a confused man, and
neither American nor foreign
political issues produced that
confusion in the first place.
He was the victim of an I'M
happy life. He was a man
deserted and isolated. It's a
familiar story of what brings
on m entail depression.
Friends can be helpful, as
the medical books tell us. But
in our self-c e tered lives,
where time is so precious,
there is a tendency to pass
by the broken-down human
beings who need every day
the warmth of human love
and understanding and fl
nally, if all else fails, the
benefits Of psychiatric treat
ment and even hospital care.
The stories of the tragic
end of disordered minds have
been told many times. SINH
lar incidents are happening
ali around us every day. even
within families as husbands
or wives commit murder and
sons or daughters resort to
the weapons of death.
Maybe since the assaSsina-
ton of President Kennedy
has aroused such worldwide
sorrow. it will also focus at
tention on the case Of the
mailman and bring about in
tensive studies of these
crimes. In our otherwise busy
and rreoccupied society. con-
structive help to prevent
such tragedies might be ex-
tended by friends and neigh
bors as they come to learn
more about the potential
dangers in these cases.
Maybe a wider knowledge Of
such matters by people gen.
orally might have saved
President Kennedy's life and
also the life Of Oswald,
whose wife and children now
face a dismal future.

The zest and thoroughness

CHARLES BARTLETT
Fidelity to Her Own Individuality
Was Enormous Asset to President

It would be impossible to
imagine any state Of life in
which the companionship Of
marriage was more essential
or any wife more ideally
suited to this particular
President.
An observer living among
politicians is struck by the
fact that the complexities
which confront all wives are
compounded for the wives of
politicians and doubly COM
pounded for the wife Of a
politician who manages to
reach the White House.
The difference is that the
compar naturalization be-
tween home and office which
is possible in private life
becomes exceedingly difficult
in public life. No private
pursuit, however ambitious,
carries an involvement for a
wife that equals the demands
placed upon a woman whose
husband is seeking or holding
high political office. 1t is pos
Sible to love 2 politician
without loving politics but it
is impossible to marry one
without becoming part of his
career.
Jacqueline Kennedy's
struggle to attain this COM
DECENTRALIZATION has heen
the measure of her firmneSs
and resourcefulness. A Presi-
dent lives as much in contro-
versy as in the White House
and his private life is a seclu-
sion from the tempest and a
respite from the pressures.
Mrs. Kennedy's greatest &C.
complishment has been to
maintain this refuge and en-
bellish it with the variety,
and warmth of wit of her
own personality.

Efforts to Blame This or That Foction
In Life Viewed as Befogging Truth

The search continues in a
eistraught world for clues to
the terrible behavior Of Lee
Harvey Oswald. The effort to
pin the blame on this or that
trend in modern life befogs
the truth. For this case is
like tens Of thousands of
others, and never would have
attracted worldwide atten-
ton if the crime had not
taken the life of a President
Of the United States
Indeed, the medical books
are full Of histories of i'll
neSses with similar climaxes
that have resulted in suicide
or homicide after a life of
seeming helplessness and
Illustration. To attribute Os-
wald's act to the atmosphere
created by q Right Wing" or
Left Wing" movement or to
a hate" group or to some
foreign theology or country is
to fail to see the forest for
the trees. Too often there is
a tendency to blame society
as a whole for the sins of
omission which characterize
the lives of individuals as OPP
portunitieS to help troubled
and distressed persons in the
community are lost by many
of us.
The evidence g altered
thus far shows that Oswald
had an unhappy life. Family
unity was broken before his
birth with the death of his
father. The young man
seemed to lead a purposeless
existence. He enlisted in the
Marine Corps. He was guilty
of misdeeds and twice court
m artialed d. He was finally
discharged in 1859 with
dishonor.
All this left a tragic mark
On him. He started to read
books about communism. He
went to Russia, denounced
his own country and asked
the Soviet government for
citizenship, which was re-
fused. He married a Russian
girl there and then asked for
money so he could get pas
sage back to America. In
pity, he was helped by the
American Embassy. But after
this he seems to have been
abandoned. He tried TO find a
job. He didn't seem to fit
into anything. He was short
in stature, too. and probably

had an inferiority complex
about this.
The books Oswald read
when he came back to Amer
lea we're critical Of commu-
nism. But he also read a
book on the assassination of
Governor Huey Long in
Louisiana. Oswald now was
living in New Orleans. He
sought prominence. He
wanted to be conspicuous.
He distributed in public
places some pro-Castro
literature. He imagined he

self. All this was perhaps
a manifestation of a feeling
of inferiority. Even as a
prisoner last Sunday. as he
was being moved from one
jail to the other, he wanted
his picture taken - to be
televiSed-and said so.
A confused mind certainly
must have led Oswald to try
to return to Russia. He went
to Mexico City a few weeks
ago to seek a passport via
Cuba. But this was refused.
Possibly he wanted to isolate
himself in Russia, where his
wife's family lived. He re-
turned to Dallas more frus-
trated than before and per-
haps even more desperate
about his future. He got an
unimportant job in a ware
house. But his mind was the
kind that wanted to express
itself. He was bitter about his
fate. The rifle which he pur-
chased by mail may not have
been Immediately connected
with a plot to kill anyone.
His service in the Marine
Corps undoubtedly made him
yearn for opportunities to
practice his craftsmanship.
At what moment the deci-
sion came to commit murder
will never be known. His
pent-up resentment against
the Navy Department be-
cause the Marine Corps gave
hire a dishonorable discharge
may have made him resent
full at Governor Connally, q
former Secretary Of the
Navy, and against the Presi-
dent, too, as the head Of the
Government that he felt had

President johnson faces a
revolt among group of House
Democratic liberals, a revolt
that began before the death of
President Kennedy.
It is aimed not at the Presi-
dent, but at Congress itself. It
involves the punishment, by
withdrawal of party seniority
privileges, of those Democrats
who refuse to support the ma
tional party ticket and policies
President K enne dy always
declined to take such a drastic
step, preferring Cancellation
and persuasion.
Leading the revolt is Rep
resentative Richard Bollin g
Democrat of Missouri, one Of
the party's most articulate and
thoughtful strategists in the
House.
His target is the "subversives
and Quislings of the Democrat
ic Party" whom he defines as
some Southern conservatives.

and authentic dignity. She
created IN less than three
years a priceless museum Of
American treasures.
This same determination
to make the White House
reflect the best in American
life-was applied to a logged
and detailed assault on the
pomposity of official func-
tons. The effort did not
spring from any desire to
win fame as a hostess. It
was simply a matter of doing
something that had to be
done in a fashion that would
please her husband and en-
nance the country in the eyes
of foreigners.

which is an insistence on
being herself.
Women are using their
emancipation to go in many
directions but the most COM
mon fallacy Of the sex is a
tendency to watch each
other and to do what the
other is doing. Mrs. Ken
nedy did not make the mis-
take of trying to be Eleanor
Roosevelt or Dolley Madison.
But by fidelity to her own
individuality. she has be-
come a unique figure in the
White House and an enor-
nous asset to the President.

said. 81 don't say what year.
It's going to depend in large
measure on how large an out
cry there is against Congress
and how well aimed at the sys-
tenn that is responsible"
Mr.. Boiling gave his views in
a lengthy interview before the
assassination of President Ken
nedy. Today he reaffirm d
them and said he felt Just as
strongly that they apply to the
new political situation. The
change in the presidency, he
noted. has not changed the
makeup of Congress.
I'VE have a feudal situation
in the House-a weak king
(the Speaker surrounded by
strong dukes COMMITTEE chair
men, mostly Conservative :"
Mr.. Boiling said.
"If the dukes combine
against him he's defeated. He's
stronger than an individual
duke, but not as strong as all
of them acting together. Re-
form is the key"
Mr.. Boiling summed up his
reasons for making a strong
new push for reform" He
said:
''I think that a lack of conf
dence in Congress, if continued
long, will destroy the demo-
cratic process. If the people
lose confidence in the national
legislature, they've lost conf
dence in democratic govern
ment."
