The Week

Last week, however, the empha-
sis appeared to shift, at least tenn
porarily, to the foreign scene. Mr..
johnson was wheeling with great
speed-from NATO to the United
Nations, from Latin America to
South Wet Nam and thence to
Capitol Hill on foreign aid. Here
is the weeks score card:
. MONDAY-He pledged, in a
special message to the NATO
Ministerial Council, Americas
steadfast resolve and dedication
to back the goals of NATO and
an never closer partnership between
this country and Europe. He
stressed that this was not the
policy Of any one man or any
party, that each American ad-
ministration since World War II
has strongly supported it.
o TUESDAY-Speaking in person
at the United Nations headquar-
tiers in New York less than one
month after taking office, he
treasured the General Assembly
now composed of the representa-
tives of 113 countries-that the
global policies of the United
States have not changed with the
new man in the White House. He
urged a settlement of the cold war
'once and for all" and recon-
mended peaceful revolution" in
the world, based on the principles
of human welfare and humanity.
o WEDNESDAY-He announced
that Thomas C. Mann, newly ap-
pointed Assistant Secretary of
State for Inter American Affairs,
would also serve as special presi-
Dental adviser on the area. This
was an unprecedented action, and
while it might give drafters of
charts on chains of command a
case of the jitterS, Mr.. johnson
emphasized that he wanted his
administration to speak with one
voice" on all matters affecting
this hemisphere, and that Mr..
Mann, with the support of the
Secretary of State and the Presi-
dent, will be that voice.
o THURSDAY-He sent a mes
sage to the Senate, read on the
floor by Majority Leader Mike
Mansfield, in which he said that
sales of wheat and other farm
commodities to the Soviet Union on
reasonable terms were plainly in
the national interest" and to block
them-as House rider to the for
eign aid bill sought to do-would
jeopardize possible gains to our
farmers, exporters, shippers and
railroads and deny relief for our
Evening star., 1963-12-22
Other Actions

Other new laws that Congress
could point to as the year ended
were:
. A bricks and mortar" meas
ure providing federal aid for con-
struction at public and private
colleges. The act authorized $12
billion over five years in grants
and loans for construction or i'm
provement of academic facilities.
Beat off in both chambers were
attacks on the religious issue.
o Aid to medical schools, and an
other greatly expanding vocation
al education. The medical bill au-
thorizes SITS million over three
years for construction of facilities,
and the latter bill provides $l.2
billion over four years.
o A new federal assault on men,
tai illness, prompted in part by
the personal concern of the Ken
nedys over one of their family
who has been institutionalized for
years. The legislation authorized
1929 million over four years for
construction of research and
treatment facilities, and provided
aid to localities in this field.
Q The first peacetime compulso-
ry arbitration law, to avoid a ma
tionwide railroad strike. The bill
created a board which later ruled
that carriers could eliminate most
of the firemen now carried on die
sci locomotives. But the issue
may return to haunt Congress, as
rail unions still protest the idea.
Q A number of little-noticed but
important measures to the econo-
my, such as increases in the debt
limit, revision of silver policy per-
mitting 81 Federal Reserve Notes.
and cutting the limit on duty-free
imports by tourists from $500 to
$100.
ALI in all, Senate Minority Lead
er Dirksen stoutly declared, THE

Possmon Victory

Although President johnson told
Senate Democrats that anything
less than $3.1 billion would create
a "perilous situation" for the ad-
ministration, the final figure ap-
proved by the conference Friday
was So billion. The news was
considered a victory for Mr.. Pass
man and a setback for the White
House.
The G. o. P. victory in putting
the wheat credit clause back into
the House bill came before dawn
yesterday. After an all-night ses-
sion, Representatives in a roll call
vote approved, 141 to 1876, return
ing the foreign aid bill to the
conference committee with the
measure barring credit to the
SovietS in wheat purchases.
Weary lawmakers quit at 5:45
am. yesterday in the House and
at 6:43 am. in the Senate, but
by noon an attempt was in the
works to call another vote on the
credit issue. The device was to
change its wording slightly in con-
ference, then send it to the floor.
Late yesterday afternoon, the
lawmakers gave up and decided
to postpone final action until to-
morrow, after it became apparent
that the House Rules Committee,
with Chairman Smith of Virginia
gone home for the day, would not
clear the measure for a vote.
The final SO billion represented
the highest percentage cut in for
eign aid money requests (about
"a per cent? since the program
began In 1948.
President Kennedy early this
year had started out by asking
Congress for $40 billion for
foreign aid. He later reduced this

Home for Sale

A sign that the Baker empire
was beginning to shrink under
the heat Of investigations came
last Friday when his Southwest
Washington townhouse was re-
ported on the market. A CO.
operative unit. 1t had been occu-
pied by his former administrative
assistant, Carol Tyler, whom he
listed as his cousin In his appli-
cation.
The coop requires that Q pur-
chaser occupy the premises, and
since Mr.. Baker lives In a man
sion in Spring Valley with his
family, he presumably Is not eligi-
BILE to hang on to the downtown
house.
President Johnson was touched
by the case on q technicality
eight days ago when the Senate
Rules Committee conducting the
hearings asked his permission to
inspect Mr.. Bakers income tax
returns. White House permission
is necessary before the IRIS can
turn over such records to o con-
gressional committee.
The request was granted, and
a good many observers are hoping
the link to the President ends
there. Mr.. Baker was Mr.. john
sons protege in the Senate for
years. and the fear is that the
President may be stained by as
sociation before the dirt stops
flying in the case.

President johnson on Tues
day addressed the q. N. for the
first time, urging an end to the
cold war and q glObaI drive on
hunger, disease and poverty.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Johnson
announced that the newly ap-
pointed Assistant Secretary of
State for Inter-American AZ
fairs, Thomas C. Mann, would
also serve as his special adviser
on the area.
Lyndon Baines Johnson, the
36th President of the United
States, has been in office exactly
one month today. In that time, he
has moved like controlled torna-
do, effecting as smooth and as ra-
pid a transition of power as this
country has yet known.
Although John F. Kennedy's
successor had by no means neg
lected foreign affairs, his first
three weeks in office were, per-
haps naturally, focused more on
domestic problems and proposals.
He had to organize his admins
tration. He had to face agonizing
decisions on the Federal budget,
decisions involving vital priorities.
He had to reaSsure various domes-
tic groups whose support in the
next election-lesS than a year
away-will determine to a great
extent whether he will sustain an
opportunity to serve as President
longer than any other man except
Franklin D. Roosevelt. adding

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Congress: Uninspired Session

The 8Sth Congress, ending its
first session with wrangling on
foreign aid, heads for q Christ
mas recess after the longest ses-
sion since the Korean War. The
test ban treaty, college aid and
mental health bills, are among
its achievements, but far out
numbering them are many issues
left untouched.
The year 1868 will not be re-
membered as one of the more dis
tinguished examples Of Congress
at work.
The Nations lawmakers took
longer and accomplished less than
usual. Not since 1851 had Con-
greSs remained in session so late,
yet the list of major legislation
sent to the White House was
much shorter than in the last
two years.
Still awaiting floor debate In
both houses was the civil rights
issue, the overwhelming social
problem Of the year and subject
Of the greatest Negro agitation in
a century.
Also left dangling IN the Senate
was the tax revision measure, q bill
first proposed by the late Presi-
dent in 1861. And several other
major programs President Kenne-
dy sought, such as medical care
for the aged through Social
Security, a Cabinet Department of
Urban Affairs, and q domestic
Peace Corps, all remained unborn.

The Routine

Generally speaking, the White
House Jared best ON those propo-
sails contained few innovations.
such as extensions Of the draft
law, feed grain program, Civil
Rights Commission, and corporate
and excise tax levels. In educa-
ton, 1t scored encouraging gains.
But even some routine business
ran into strange trouble. The am
nual money bills for the various
Federal departments begged down.
AS December began, five months
after the Government year began.
only four of IL regular appropria-
tions had been cleared. The Sem
ate was obliged to stay IN session
yesterday, q day beyond its finally
agreed adjournment date, to pass
a farm appropriation bill at the
request Of President johnson and
act on foreign aid.
In a display Of bad tempers,
last-minute absenteeiSm and OBJ
vious disenchantment with the
session, House members wound up
the week with a noisy battle on
foreign aid.

in July, 1862 at 1926, 900 in stocks
and real estate. Among the ways
he was able to amass this fortune
on his Senate pay was this eX-
ample furnished by Mrs. Novak:
In February, 1860, he told the
Novaks that q new Wisconsin
company, Milwaukee Guaranty
Insurance Co., would soon sell
stock sure to jump in value. They
furnished $4,000 to buy some.
The stocks price rose so fast that
a year later they realized q $54,-
800 profit. which they split with
Mr.. Baker.
Not all Of the Democratic Sec
retary's dealings were clever. His
Ocean City motel turned out to
be a financial rathole, and his
pursuit Of a buck for the Serv-U
Corp. in which he had a principal
interest ultimately betrayed him
to public view through . lawsuit.

Reossuronce

Mr. johnson, in this full week
Of foreign policy statements and
actions, was clearly seeking to
reassure our friends and foes alike
that American policy was one Of
constancy and peace. He perhaps
expressed his own broad-guaged
thoughts on the subject best at an
impromptu news conference at
the White House on Wednesday
when he said:
MY No. priority, my No. /
goal, my No. l objective. my No. l
ambition, is to try to provide the
leadership for my country with VI
sion. tolerance, patience and
strength that will convince the
rest Of the world that we court no
territory, we seek no satellites,
that We are trying to live in peace
and prosperity, and we would like
for our fellow men everywhere to
be able to do the same thing"
In his message to the NATO
meeting in Paris-and in Mr..
Rusk's speech there-the johnson
tack of seeking cordiality and
soft-pedaling differences shone
through. While it did not solve
fundamental problems, it i'm
proved the atmosphere for new
attempts at agreements within
the Western camp.
Again, at the U. N, the Presi-
dent did not lash out at the So
Wet Union as his predecessors Oft
en- did. He gave the world organi-
zation a dose Of his Tets reason
together" approach to mankind's
problems &
1t should be noted that both his
NATO message and his U.N.
speech were widely hailed, here
and abroad.

to $4.5 billion after a special
committee headed by Gen. Lucius
D. Clay issued a report critical of
the program. Signs that aid was
in big trouble emerged this month
when the Senate, normally more
friendly to the program than the
House, approved only $3.7 billion
authorization ceiling. In the actual
appropriation process which fol-
lows, lawmakers always regard
this initial figure as an outside,
maximum estimate.

The vote came six weeks after

nal Signers to approve it.
