friends were opposed. and even
the late Sam Rayburn, his pol
itical mentor, was lukewarm at
best. Mr.. Rayburn finally
growled that it would be all
right if Mr.. Kennedy would call
a press conference and say he
wanted Lyndon johnson as his
running mate. This the Demo-
cratic nominee did

friends and critics alike by ac-
cepting second place on the
ticket. One supporter was so
upset he left Los Angeles with
out hearing the acceptance
speeches.
But the Texan. who keeps
his own counsels. confounded
them even more with the self
effacting way he merged him
self into the fabric Of the new
administration. He was con-
suited, he was often at the
White House, he Travelled at
home and abroad for the adj
ministration. But his role was
that Of a supporter.
B THE President followed me
when I was the Senate leader"
Mr.. Johnson would often say.
Il am following him now. It's
one thing to be the pilot and
another thing TO be the CO.
pilot"
Loyal Partnership"
In that conversation in his
office, Mr.. johnson described
his relations with Mr.. Kennedy
as "the most faithful, loyal
partnership that ever existed"
with no troubles and no argu-
ments. The first alliance for
progress. he would say, was
made in Los Angeles, and it
was between Boston and Aus
tin"
The relationship continued
right up to the end. In his Oc-
J tober 81 press conference, Mr..
! Kennedy said he expected and
wanted Mr.. Johnson on the
| 1864 ticket.
AS an. emissary Of the ad-
ministration, Mr.. johnson ira
veled all over the world. He
: trudged through villages in In
dia, browsed in the shops of
! Pakistan and Iran, talked with
Norwegian workers at a coffee
klatch and visited all the coun-
tries of western Europe. He
came to regard his activities in
these fields as one of the most
satisfying contributions he has
ever made in public life.
His missions were highly
satisfying to the White House,
too, even if some American dip
lomats looked askance at Mr..
Johnson's informal, handshak-
ing ways. He had a pungent
reply for such critics who have
ridden in regal and dignified
aloofness past the people over
whom they had domination"
Chairman of Space Council
And he added: I'VE cannot
demonstrate the essence and
spirit of the American political
system unless we leave our
limousines abroad as we would
at home. After all, what dignity
are we trying to prove-that of

the office Of Vice President or
that of the human racer"
In addition to his travels, Mr..
johnson served as chairman of
the space council, head of the
Presidents Com mission on
Equal Employment Opportuni-
ty, attended legislative meet
ings at the White House and
participated in these secret de-
alterations Of the National
Security Council.
| AS a result of what he calls
the revolution in the scope of
government in Washington in
the last 80 years, including the
office of Vice President, Mr.
johnson was as well-equipped
as anyone could be when he
was called upon to take over
the Presidency.
This was 26 years after he
was first elected to the House
when 20 years old, and is after
his election to the Senate by a
margin Of 81 votes. When he
returned to Washington after
his Senate victory, he said,
well, here I am, Landslide
Johnson"
JOhnsOn's Speeches "FOlksy"
AS President, Mr.. johnson is
expected to support the broad
Outlines Of the Kennedy ad-
ministration's foreign and
domestic policies which he had
defended from many a plat
form.
He is regarded as an effec-
tive pc aker but not in the
classical tradition of a Winston
Churchill or Adlai Stevenson.
Most Of his speeches have a
folksy, Texas quality. After

A grandfather who predicted
great things politically for Mr..
johnson at his birth was some
thing less than a Delphic ora
Gle. He could see only as far as
the Senate.
1s-HOur-a-Day Politician
Few men have become Presi-
dent with such knowledge and
skill in the art Of politics. Few
have lived a political life so
completely. Once while ad-
dressing Texas audience, the
new President confessed that
he seldom thought Of politics
more than Is hours a day"
The new President has been
many things to many men. To
some he is the consummate
politician and n o thing more.
To some he is the masterful
legislative strategist and tacti-
clan. which he certainly was
To others he has been one
seeking only to further his own
political ambitions.
, But to a relative few who
were able to pierce the protec-
tive armor with which political
leaders surround themselves,
he was more than that. To his
frie n ds over the years. Mr.,
johnson has revealed himself
as one having a deep under
standing Of human nature, of
the problems of the day, and as
one. with the late President, OF
having a sense as well as a
knowledge of history.
After he had been Vice Pres
ident for more than a year, Mr.
johnson sat down in his Capt.
tol Hill office one day with an
interviewer. 1t would be nice tc
record that it was a relaxed
discussion, but for Lyndor
johnson nothing is relaxed.

Opening lead: Nine of spades.

Opening lead: Nine Of spades.
West opened the nine Of
spades, and South won with
the ten. Declarer continued with
two more rounds of trumps and
then led the nine of diamonds.
rs that a singleton?" West
asked, looking suspiciously at
the unoffending card. IF it is,
I'm going to grab my trick"
II cannot tell a lie" South
replied. That is my only dia-
mond." G
Nobody can censure South
for this statement. He didn't
start the conversation, and
what he said was the simple
truth.
Takes Ace q
West believed South and
took the ace of diamonds. Now
there was no way to defeat the
contract. South could eventual
ly throw two clubs on dummy'S
king and queen of diamonds.
Strangely enough, West
could defeat the contract only
If South had a singleton dia-
mond But West would have TO
give up his diamond trick sby
playing the ten or jack of dia-
monds instead of the ace.
Dummy would win with the
queen of diamonds, but then
there would be no second dia-
mond trick for declarer He
would eventually lose two club
tricks to East.
1t isn't always wise to grab
your ace when declarer leads a
singleton through you. More
over, If you're informal enough
to chatter while a hand is going
on, don't use correct informa-
ton to make the wrong play.

And the talk with Mr.. BedWell
is also an example of the value
OF this program to the rural peo-
pie today and for the years TO
come.
This is the space age,
growth from the electric indus
try. And the rural electric pro-
gram, made pos ible to the
rural people of Southside Vir-
ginia by the Southside Electric
Cooperative has been an impor-
tant part in the development of
this space age.
Il love my farm friends"
Mr.. BedWell said in conclusion,
II naturally would, because
work with them: but more than
that. l feel they are the ones
who have really put the solid
foundation into American prog
ress, for their own good, for the
good Of the urban dWeller, and
for this great space age in
which we now find ourselves.
IF I had to live my life over.
I'd come right back here to Din

one of my pet projects-only I
probably would work harder to
develop it. than 1 did, if such
could be possible"

tinued to talk with Mr.. BedWell
about the progress the program
has made in Southside Virginia.

to project the benefits Of the

Development of the Rural Electric Program in Virginia
Was Colorful and Dynamic Todays Space Program

The development of the rural
electric program in Virginia was
Just as colorful and dynamic in
the late 1905 as has been the
space program of recent years,
according to B. F.. BedWell, Din
Widdie Countys Extension Agent
for the past IS years.
Il saw it being born, I have
seen it grow, and l think it has
been just as colorful and dy-
mamie in the development of this
nation as will be the space pro-
gram of today Mr.. Bedwell
said to Henry Thrift, also of
Dinwiddie, and a Director of
the Southside Electric Coopera-
tive for the past 20 years.
And as Mr.. Thrift talked with

Extension Agent is affectionately
known through his area, Mr..

it.
