December II and Deem
Der 10, 1858, will go down as
days Of infamy In the history
of Fairfax County. I attend
ed the rezoning hearings
held by the board Of supervi-
sors on these two days. Never
have I witnessed or heard of
such fragrant disregard for
the will Of the vast majority
of citizens by an elected
governing body. I left the
melee with the gruesome
consolation that at least this
board could inflict no further
wounds on the already grave
ly wounded County of Fair
fax. 1t certainly wasn't
difficult to understand why
the voters had ouSted most
of the board. At least Mr..
Brault had the decency to
boycott the scandalous exhi-
bition. I understand he had a
cold. An upset stomach
would have been more under
Standable.
If the citizens of the Coun-
ty of Fairfax have any re-
gard for the age-old princi-
piles of honesty and fair play,
the stigma of these two days
must be removed. All of the
responsible people in the
county should write, call, or
otherwise contact their newly
elected supervisors and
demand that all of the cases
heard by the lame duck"
board on this two-day hinge
be reconsidered under more
rational circumst ices.
Unless this is done by the
new board, numerous court
cases are bound to ensue.
Such cases can only result in
more bitterness and unrest
in the county, besides requir-
ing an unwarranted and
needless expenditure of
public and private funds.
There is nothing that the old
board has done during this
period that the new board
cannot undo, provided they
have the will and the forth
tude to take the necessary
action. This can be the first
test Of their sincerity.

Community Spirit

There Is a popular myth
that artists are not only not
a part Of their community,
but do not accept any
responsibility In their COM
munity. This is surely q
myth in this area, as proven
by the fact that the recent
arts and crafts sale conduct
ed for the benefit Of the
Higher Horizons Integrated
Day Camp In Fairfax County
was an unqualified success.
The community of artists
and craftsmen of the Greater
Washington Area deserve
great credit for their gener-
Gus contribution of talent
and for their support Of a
worthy community effort.
The list Of outstanding
painters, ceramists, sculptors
and craftsmen who offered
their work for sale at attrac-
tive prices is too long for
inclusion here, as is the list
Of those who donated the
proceeds Of their sale. They
were, however, a representa-
tive cross-section Of our local
artists.
The children who will
benefit this coming year
from the continuing program
Of the integrated day camp
will owe much to the gener-
osity Of these donors. In
addition, the organizations
such as the Christian Con-
gregational Church of Fair
fax, the Fairfax Unitarian
Church and the Human
Relations Council Of Fairfax
County, as well as the many
sincere individuals who
participated should be con-
graduated on the effective
ness Of their community
oriented planning.
All Of us as citizens are In
debt to such members of our
community as these artists
and community workers for
their continuing efforts and
concern to improve our
human relationships.

tie up all possible loose ends,
to make personal contact
with all the elements that go
to make up political power
and to establish himself in
the public eye as being fully
in command.
The President was astute
enough to know that the loud
est contenders for the Re-
publican nomination h a d
made the error of making
Mr.. Kennedy the issue rather
than the Democratic Party
or the administration. They
had sought to "get at Ken
nedy" and in so doing they
ignored discussion of what
they considered the issues to
be. The asSassin's gun re-
moved the President. An in
evitable vacuum was thereby
created. With Mr.. Kennedy
gone, the opposition that had
so furiously and so consist
emily directed its fire at him
was left without a target and
a strategy. Knowing this, the
new President moved with
great vigor, direction, and
skill to fill the vacuum.
Can Slug or Box
The attack on Lyndon
johnson will come. But be-
cause of the amazing swift
ness Of his actions following
the taking of the oath, and
the skill with which he has
moved to gather things"
together, those who move
against him will find the
Presidents stance firm and
his own strategy of counter
attack ready. He was never
for a moment off-balance,
never once uncertain or slow
in decision in the first test
ing days. Mr.. Johnson can
slug or shadow box.
None knew better than he
the need to move with pre-
cision and speed. He has
little time before the cam
paign of 1864 officially be-
gins. 1t began unofficialfy
when he took the oath. The
President had one small piece
of luck. The Christmas season
was close at hand when he
took office. When Congress
comes back in January some
of its members, too, will be
running for office. They, too,
must make a record. There
will be less time and oppor-
tunity to attack Lyndon
johnson.
And when the attacks do
come, there will be q counter.

Republican SquobbIe


Principles be damned! Carl
Shipley of the Washington
G. o. P. Committee rides
roughshod over American
tradition of fairplay and
justice and would remove DR..
Melchior Savarese from the
committee because he is a
member Of the John Birch
Society.
Such heavy-handed tactics
on the part Of Mr.. Shipley
merit only scorn and disgust.
If he is willing to retain
atheists, liberals, members Of
the American Civil Liberty
Union and members Of the
Americans for Democratic
Action, why not a member Of
the John Birch Society?
These organizations, to
which he is not taking ex-
ception, have had and still
have have spokesman who
have taken extreme positions
on political and religious
issues, yet here is no guilt
by-aSsociation here, nor is
there any discrimination by
reason Of political reality"
The public image" Of these
organization, in the eyes of
many, is not always favorable
to the G. o. P, and yet Mr..
Shipley does not feel that
they hurt the Republican
cause.
DR.. SavareSe has ably
demonstrated that he is
talking on more solid
grounds than does Mr.. Snip
ley. DR.. Savarese is a fear
less advocate of less govern
ment, more dividual
responsibility, and he wants
our Constitution to be re-
garded as the greatest in
strument of government ever
conceived by man. Should he
be punished for this? If
indeed he Is not castigated
for his stand then he is
maligned for his association,

last Friday to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Mr.. Shipley and not DR..
Savarese should go. Mr..
Shipley has Haunted basic

tionally preserved by the
Republican Party.

PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS
Lyndon Johnson Is No Pushover
BY RALPH McGLL

Nothing is farther from
the mark than the portrayal
of President johnson as be-
ing a honey, "hello-podner"
sort Of fellow with a dislike
for what some commentators
call the Kennedy type intel
lectualS." In the first place,
the men who worked with the
late President are men Of
genuinely good minds. Their
intellectual qualities are first
rate. They were, without ex-
ception, useful to the Presi-
dent and the administration.
Secondly, while the new
President is not a product
of long-established Eastern
education, he has surrounded
himself with the same sort
of minds Mr.. Kennedy
sought-the best minds he
could find. The President
has never entertained any Of
the anti-intellectualism often
found in so-called self-made
men. He has been in WASH
ington 80 years and in that
time has come to know the
necessity for good thinking
as a prelude to action. AS
Majority Leader and, later,
as Vice President. Lyndon
johnson had a staff that
could match minds with the
brilliant young men around
Mr.. Kennedy.
Some Will Move On
With the passing Of time
It is inevitable that some OF
those who came to WASH
ington to serve John F. Ken
nedy will move on to other
work. But they will not be
replaced with clods. So mas
sive is the overall demand
of the office of President on
the occupant that only an
able and dedicated staff can
enable the President to meet
it. This means long hours
each day for the President
and all those about him. An
incompetent is in the way.
The President has never been
patient with those who were
unable to give a first rate
performance.
Washington has watched
with admiration the amaz-
ing performance by the new
President. He knew it to be
important that the transi-
ton of power be made with
a show of confidence and
direction. This he proceeded
to do. But he has pleased
and astonished even the Gym
ical by his tremendous ener-
gy and his swift moves to

Awakening Likely

But If Senator Goldwater
expects to capitalize on
President JohnSon's insis-
tence that members Of Con-
greSS stay in Washington or
return to Washington, holi-
days or no holidays, to act
on legislation he considers
necessary and timely, he is
likely to have an unhappy
awakening. The people may
be fed up with foreign aid
even though it is a weapon
in our hands in the cold war
but they are also fed up
with a Congress which
wastes time and on occasion
makes itself ridiculous.
The congressional situation.
was not only ridiculous on
the House side of the Capt.
toll. After enough members Of
that body had returned to
agree to the conference
report, the Senate did not

A new President Of the
United States has insisted
that members Of Congress be
on the job to do the job they
were elected to do. For that
President Johnson has IN
some quarters been criticized.
He should be congratulated.
His insistence that members
remain here-and return
hereto vote on the foreign
aid bill Is not dictatorship. It
Is a timely reminder that
when q man or woman is
elected to sit In the House
or Senate-at q salary Of
S22, 500 q year-which it Is
now proposed to increase to
$780, 00-he or she should be
in Washington. Too m a ny
Democratic members Of the
House, knowing that q vote
on the foreign-aid bill. with
the controversial provision
relating to wheat sales to
Communist Russia, was in
the works for final action,
left Washington. So when
the showdown came on the
conference report on that
measure December 81. it was
defeated by five votes. Not
voting were 153 members. By
far the greater number,
Democrats.
The issue goes far beyond
partisan politics. Involved in
it was the question whether
the President Of the United
States is to exercise his
constitutional power to
handle foreign affairs -
which means foreign policy.
The wheat deal had been
made during the admins
tration Of the late President
Kennedy. 1t provided that
the American exporters OF
wheat should be guaranteed
payment through the
Export Import Bank. 1t has
been attacked by Republi-
cans and some Democrats on
the ground it amounts to a
loan to Soviet Russia. During
the Eisenhower admins
tration, it was pointed out
during the debate in the
House that the Export-Im-
port Bank negotiated a loan
to Poland, behind the Iron
Curtain, for $50 million, one
purpose Of which was to buy
a tin-plate mill in this coun-
try, and other loans were
made. No attempt was made
then to tie President Eisen-
hower's hands.
A Matter Of Backbone
Another issue was at stake
when President johnson
insisted that the House
remain in session to clean up
action on the foreign-aid bill.
with its SO billion-plus funds
for military and economic
aid to many friendly nations.
If he had thrown up his
hands and acquiesced in the
Christmas holiday exodus.
what would the Communist
bloc have thought? Where
would the new Chief Execu-
tive have stood in their
estimation? Would he have
appeared spinelesS? And how
would he have appeared to
the people Of America?
President johnson, among
his other qualifications, has
backbone.

more formal observanceS that
are put aside during the sum-
mer months. Among these Is
the paying Of calls, both Of
fetal and non-official.
1t is necessary to have
visiting cards when paying
your respects in such a man
ner. Down through the years,
certain customs have been
followed pertaining to the
correct forms to be used on
these cards. If you are plan
ming to have new ones made,
it might be wise to check
and make sure that you have
them done correctly.
The purpose of these little
cards is to identify. Due to
the growth of our Govern
ment and Washington's ever
expanding population, it has
been decreed that for the
sake of clarity more informa-
ton be placed upon the cards
than heretofore, particularly
with regard to the home ad-
dress.
For social calling the cards
should always be engraved,
never printed. Whatever the
weight or finish of the card
you select. it should be en-
graved with black ink on
white, or off-white, card
stock. Styles in lettering most
in favor today are script,
shaded antique Roman, and
shaded Roman.
All names should be spelled
out in full. Initials should not
be used. The size of the card
varies according to circum-
stance. Consult with your
stationer with regard to the
size suitable to you.
The married woman's card
Gas well as that of the
widow should contain the
full name-"Mrs. John Philip
Proper" The address should
definitely be placed in the
lower right hand corner. Her
husbands card is simply his
full name preceded by the
prefix Mr." The address is
unnecessary In this case as
his card usually accompanies
that of his wife when calling.
The joint mfr. and Mrs. /"
card can be used for calling
purposes, and is also very
useful when sending gifts or
flowers. Be sure the address
is placed in the lower right
hand corner.
The unmarried woman uses
the full name Miss Kath-
crime Mary Doe" and the ad-
dress is placed in the lower
right hand corner. A bach
elor'S card contains his name
in full. plus the address 1
have mentioned so many
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-08

as for example If you are
staying in a hotel, 1t is
correct to handwrite the tenn
porary one in that lower
right hand corner.
Reminder: Do not use Wis
iting cards to issue informal
invitations. In a future COL
umn I will explain why this
is no longer feasible.

casion to introduce a United

been criticized about this.
Was I wrong?
Mr.. N. L. B.
Answer: I am afraid you
were, very much so. The
term THE Honorable" is
never used in an introduce
ton. 1t is just plain Mr..
Jones'" If you wish to iden-
tify him to friends, you may
correctly say May I present
Representative Jones from
California" After the intro
duction, do not call him
Representative" or Con-
greSsman"-just Mr."
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-08

times. It might be mentioned
here that a young man does
not use the Mr." until he is
10.
The divorce should use
her maiden surname and that
of her former husband, Mrs.
Brown Jones'" The use of
the christian name, Mrs.
Jane Brown Jones" is also
considered correct, but the
first example given is pre-
ferred.
Since l have stressed so
strongly that an address
should be included, 1 might
mention that If you do not
have a permanent address,
