THE POLITICAL MILL
Tearing Down Our Presidents
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Vice President Johnson, the
second highest elective officer
Of the United States Govern
ment. has voiced Q plea for
unity In this country In deal
ing with the Cuban mess. He
did not in any way seek to
minimize the seriousness of
the problems which confront
us N the presence of Russian
Soviet military forces and the
existence OF a Communist
base In Cuba. He did call for
q cessation Of political par
tisanship. Of q continuing eff
fort TO belittle President John
F. Kennedy while he was en-
gagged in trying 10 put an end
TO Castro.sm in Cuba and to
prevent q spread Of Commu-
mist subversion in other Lat
in-American nations. The
Vice President did not say
there should be no discus
sion Of the Cuban situation
in Congress. He said the ef-
fort should be for construc-
tive action and unit. behind
the man charged by the Con-
Stitution with handling our
foreign'affairs.
Destructive Attacks
In his address before the
National Advertising Coun-
ell here Tuesday night. the
Vice President touched on an
age-old problem Of our po-
litical Government-the con-
slant effort of y political
party out Of power 10 tear
down the Chief Executive Of

Partisan politics has been
laid aside only when we have

threats of such q conflict.
In the opinion of Vice
President johnson. the Amer
lean people and the Republic
can opponents Of President
Kennedy should awake To
the need of helping him deal
successfully with the Com
munist threat. The need OF
forgetting the Bay of Pigs
fiasco of April, 1861, and the
need Of remembering the
Presidents forceful action

The observation reported
represents mans farthest

makes all past measurable
distances seem inconsequen-

as to whether there are any
boundaries at all to Creation

This Is In accord with the

pothesis Of the expanding

Confirms Lawrence


David B. Theall attempts
to take David Lawrence TO
task for failure to do his
homework" before saying in
one Of his articles: "It hap
pens that the Delaware SEN
ator CWilliams) has voted
in support Of most all of the
civil rights legislation intro
duced in Congress since he
has been in the Senate"
However. Mr.. Theall's own
homework" fails to differ
entiate between legislation
and procedural matters or
the confirmation process in
the Senate. He includes In
his record" votes on lib
eralizing cloture. :" These have
nothing to do with legislation
and only indirectly with
civil rights" on the theory
that 1t will be easier to get
civil rights" bills-and other
observation-disclosures the SEN
ate II the rules are changed
so that a smaller majority
can cut off debate.
The real point at issue,
however. Is whether Mr.. Law
renee was right when he said
that Senator williams has
voted in support Of most all
Of the civil rights legislation
introduced in Congress since
he has been in the Senate. I"
There have been three major
"civil rights" bills introduced
In Congress In the last six
years-the Civil Rights Act
Of 1857. the Civil Rights Act
of 1858. and the pRsposed
Constitutional Amendment
abolishing the poll tax. The
record shows that Senator
williams voted for all of
these. That he has not voted
in all cases with the so-called
liberals" for what they
choose TO call civil rights"
measures doesn't change that
fact, and that Is all that Mr..
Lawrence said.
