Until today, johnson had been
working in the office he occu-
pied as vice president under
slain President Kennedy in the
Executive Office Building, adj
jacent to the White House.
On arrival today at the White
House at 8:45 am. EST, the
new President moved without
fanfare into the oval office Of
the President.
Johnson was sped under po-
lice motorcycle escort to the
executive mansion from h i $
private home in the well-to-do
Spring Valley area Of Washing
ton. The Seven-mile driv e
through rush hour traffic took
only IL minutes.
In his speech to Congress-
shaping up as one Of the most
important he will make as Chief
Executive-Johnson is expected
to urge top priority approval Of
the civil rights and tax cut pro-
grams spelled out by his dead
predecessor.
Veteran legislators were said
to feel there would be no slack
ening under the new President
Of the drive for congressional
approval of the two corner
stones of the Kennedy program.
But whether Johnson would be
any more successful than his
predecessor remained to be
seen.
Il think continuity without
confusion has got to be our
password and has to be the key
to our system" Johnson said
Monday night in explaining his
decision to appear before Con-
gresS.
Meets With Leaders
The Chief Executive meets
first today with the world lead
ers who remained after attend
ing Kennedy's funeral, including
Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas
I. Mikoyan, British Prime Min
lister Sir Alec Douglas Home
and West German Chancellor
Ludwig Erhard.
But from the domestic polite
al standpoint, his most import
ant meetings were to come la
ter in the day when he confers
with top aides and officials
about his speech before Con-
greSS.
The tenor Of that speech
probably was indicated in the
new Presidents remarks to a
meeting of the governors Of IS
states Monday night.
The governors were hastily
assembled following the funeral
for the meeting at Johnson's
former vice presidential offices.
Many were halted at airports
and summoned to hear the
Presidents 3O-ininute appeal for
bipartisan backing in the days
of crisis following the assassin
alton.
The Chief Executive was re-
ported to have stressed his
backing for federal programs to
aid education in expressing gen.

 Two other small works, collected by the Russian governors Wrangell and Furuhjelm, were published in 1889 and 1872.
 Meanwhile, the United States pur- chased Alaska in 1867. But, Krauss explained, they lost track of much of what the Russians had learned about Alaska natives and complete ly lost track of the Eyak
 As result we knew little about the Eyak. They were passed off simply as 'Tlingitized Eskimos,' he said.
 Second Discovery
 The Eyaks were not discovered again as separate. unique and in- dependent tribe until 1930 when Fredricka de Laguna, noted Ameri- can anthropologist, arrived in Prince William Sound to study the natives.
 De Laguna's investigation prompt ed another expedition in 1883 by a team of Danish and American ex. plorers. Although it was fruitful in other areas of research, the ex petition had only limited success in the area of linguistics.
 In the next 28 years, only two linguists did any research on tht Eyak language.
 John Peabody Harrington of th, Smithsonian Institution studied tn. language for six weeks in 194O However, not all his manuscript. have yet been located. In 1852 Fang-Kuei Ii, University of Wash ington professor, spent one-half ; summer in Southcentral Alaska. Al though his work is not yet publish. ed, Krauss describes it as very i'm portant.
 Robert Austerlitz of Columbia University studied the language for three months under Krauss' grant in 1861.
 Limited background material was only one of the problems Krauss encountered when he began his work. Other than Mrs. Smith, Mrs.

An art show, featuring water colors of the Point Hope, Noatak, Kotzebue and Koyukuk areas of Alaska, opened Saturday on the up- per floor of the new University of Alaska Commons.
 The show is a one-man presenta- tion of Fairbanks artist Claire Fe- jes, who has spent part of several years visiting in outlying villages, capturing the lives of the people on canvas.
 The show will last through Octo- Der 12.
 Mrs. Fejes has lived in Fairbanks for IF years with her husband Jo- seph, owner of the Hobby House, which also houses the Alaska Art Gallery The couple are from New York. They have two children, Mark and Yola.

Nacktan and Mrs. Harry, he has also found only three others who have some knowledge of Eyak. They are George Johnson of Yakutat, Mrs. Smiths older sister, Sophie Fields, and Mike Sewock of Cordova.
 Johnson is in his 70s and Mike SeWock who is in his sos is near ly blind and deaf. Neither has spo- ken much Eyak in 50 years, al- though they can still recall the language. Lena Nacktan spoke Eyak in her youth, but married out of her tribe. She relearned the -lan- guage from Mrs. Stevens. Sewock and Johnson are originally from Katalla, an Eyak-speaking com- munity until around the turn of the century when it became in- creasingly Tlingit.
 Thus, other than a few very old people in Yakutat who may remem- Der a few words of Eyak from their youth, these are the only survivors of the Eyaks.
 Miraculous
 Dr. Krauss believes it is miracu- lous that even as many as 10 re- main who have knowledge of the Eyak language, considering that pressures from the white man and other native tribes have crushed the Eyak culture and nearly eXter- minated the people.
 Assimilation has become a kind of final solution for the native problem in the United States" he said. "When two cultures meet, as has been the case in Alaska, one way to get along is to give the na- tive a chance to learn our ways

so he can get along in our society. But this does not mean that we must stamp out his culture and lan- guage. With a little understanding on our part, the native could have been offered what We had without completely crushing the native cul- ture"
 Dr. Krauss, as a trained linguist, can devise a fitting alphabet for a native language by understanding the working of it's sound system He hopes to preserve in this way a reasonably complete vocabulary in the form of native folklore texts.
 Dr. Krauss believes that Eyak can provide an important key in solving the mysteries in the rela- tionship of the Malone languages. Other fields of scholarship will benefit from this too. including an- thropology, humanities and history

divided into Inupik in the North and Yupik in the South. Approxi- mately l2000 natives can speak Yu- pix. from Prince William Sound to Norton Sound, About 1000 have a knowledge of Inupi!l. They live on the Seward Peninsula and the Arctic Coast. The Aleut speakers live on the Aleutian Chain and Pri- bilof Islands.
 Most of the dialects of the Atha- bascan language have less than 100 speakers and many of there are of the older generation which is rapid ly dying out. Eyak, which is related to Athabascan and perhaps to Tlin- git and Haida of the Malone" group, fits into this category.
 Native groups with a knowledge of their language are dwindling rapidly Krauss said Parents have switched over tc teaching English to their children. School teachers encourage the parents tc teach their children English in stead of their native tongue"
 Migrated
 Three thousand years ago ances tors of the modern Athapaskan and EyakS were concentrated in a, area of Central Alaska and the Yu kon, perhaps too small to suppor their needs. A small group (ances tors of the Eyaks) estimated b, Krauss at 100 to 1000, left the are; and made the difficult journe, southWard to the coast, where the, settled around Cordova and Yaku tat. Later, some of the Athapaskan eventually scattered to southern Oregon, northern California anc even to the southwest United States where they are known today as NaVahos and Apaches.
 Russian adventures discovered the Eyaks in the early 18OO's and the scholar diplomat t-aristocrat Re- zanoV was the first to document any of their language He collected an interesting vocabulary in 1905 which was published after a long
