A Vital Meeting at Johnson City

not intend to play upon Q
choice between the two coun-
tries.
Mr.. johnson has shown
slight evidences Of pique that
the British didn't pay more
attention to him while he
was Vice President. The new
President has q German her
itage and Erhard may see an
opening to secure for his
government q slice Of the
special relationship" which
has persisted between the
United States and Great
Britain.
Erhard Is proposing that
the Americans and Germans
link themselves In q strong
stand to bolster NATO. With
such 3 stand, he argues, the
two countries can confront
the other allies, particularly
the French and British, with
q choice Of meeting their
commitments to the Alliance
or Of leaving European de-
fense In the bilateral hands
Of Washington and Bonn.
The harmony In johnson
City win be partly the prod
uct Of less congenial days in
which Mr.. Kennedy pres
sured the Germans to in
crease their defense budget
and purchase weapons here
to compensate for the dollars
lost by maintaining Ameri-
can troops in Germany. The
Germans responded to these
exhortations.
Chancellor Erhard is re-
garded as q hopeful figure in
Washington and President
johnson Is viewed, as far as
can be learned, as q reassur-
ing figure in Bonn. Both
men have come recently to
their responsibilities and
grasped them quickly. The
mettle Of neither has been
tested by crisis but the initial
prospects for their relation
ship are highly suspicious.

ment of some very perceptiVe
men in the political trade,
also caused the Nation to
yearn not only for the quail
ity of utter decorum in those
leaders but also for the full
appearance of that decorum.
This is in no sense to sug-
gest that Rockefeller to me
lacks decorum; it is only to
suggest that to many he
seems at any rate not to en-
body it.
Thus. II Goldwater and
Rockefeller are to be set
aside as now highly improb-
ables, the next on the list Of
possibilities Is Gov. Romney
Of Michigan. But Gov. Rom
ney. Notwithstanding his
demonstrable decency and
general capacity, has stirred
almost no enthusiasm among
Republicans nationally. If
only because of his inability
to be master Of his own
party house in Michigan.
The process Of elimination
thus brings forward Old Pro
Richard Nixon and Young
Pro William Scranton. Nix

by Mr.. Kennedy In 1860 and
his loss of the California
Governorship only two years
later-have been most ad-
equately. not to say excess
sively, advertised. His favor
able factors, however, are
great.
After all, he did run a
tremendous race against Mr..
Kennedy In 1860. After all.
the California result of 1862
was no test Of national senti-
ment. And, after all, he did
serve with undeniable dis

White House Offices BuIging at Seams
With Kennedy Staff, All Those Texans

Everybody's amazed at
how smoothly Mr.. JohnSon's
taken over the White House.
And particularly ct how
firmly he's convinced the
world he'll continue in Mr..
Kennedy's footsteps. Me. too.
For the life Of me. I can't see
where he's putting every
body.
Because one Of the first
things he did to prove he
was going to be just like Mr..
Kennedy was to persuade
Mr.. Kennedy's entire White
House staff to stay at their
desks and serve under him.
Which gave us all q feeling
Of continuity. And the second
thing he did was to bring in
a whole lot Of old friends from
all over. From all over Texas.
Which is fine. But have you
ever seen those tiny offices
in the White House2 Mr..
Kennedy's people alone occu-
pied every cubic inch. And
they were mostly just medi-
um-sized Bostonians. Oh, I
have an uneasy feeling
trouble Is brewing.

off commercial relations and,
specifically, to bar the export
Of arms to Nazi Germany.
But the materialistic instinct
prevailed, and many Euro
pean countries yielded to the
temptation and exported all
kinds Of goods to help Hitler
build his military machine.
Even some American busi-
neSSmen and other prominent
citizens, returning from visits
overseas In those days, de-
clared confidently: "You can
do business with Hitler" I"
This fantasy continued until
even after World War II
broke out in the autumn Of
1899.
Today there's Q similar
cry: you can do business
with Khrushchev." Il Is
being echoed around the
United States. What seems
incredible Is that anybody
who has studied the events
prior to World War II would
seek today to do business"
with a government which
has made such a treacherous
record as that Of the men in
the Kremlin In recent years
including the deployment
Of missiles in Cuba little
more than o year ago. Yet
many not only advocate ex-
panded trade with the Com
munist regime-thus indi-
rectly helping Moscow to
strengthen its hold on the op-
pressed and enslaved peoples
in Eastern Europe-but ac-
tually favor the lending Of
taxpayers money to back up
sales by private merchants Of
wheat.
Certainly, this Is an issue
that the people should decide
without dictation from the
executive branch Of the Gov
ernment. The executive view
point Is entitled to considera-
ton when it is expressed as
part Of a program of pro-
posed foreign-policy object
ives. But foreign policy in
the last analysis is made, as
the Constitution stipulates,
by the peoples representa-
tives in Congress whenever
such policies involve the ex-
penditure Of the taxpayers
money.

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Draw a Circle Around 2 Names

through eight years Of the
Eisenhower administration
eight years to which a large
number Of Americans still
give their strong approval in
retrospect.
Too, Nixon Is q tried and
tough national campaigner-
as Is no other Republican
among those now being men,
toned for PreSident-and the
COP. convention will be
deeply anxious to pit a truly
experienced campaigner
against the redoubtable Lyn-
don johnson.
Gov. Scranton, for his
part. has been termed a
young pro" in this article
Of phrase e-making. For he is,
indeed. just that: A pro. His
defeat Of the massive and
entrenched Democratic or
ganization in Pennsylvania
in 1862 was by any measure
the greatest single political
event Of that year
His subsequent conduct Of
the governorship has been
overshadowed in skill only
by his extraordinarily savvy
d leadership Of Pennsylvania
Republicanism. This is q cool,
steady, young man who has
not put a foot wrong, q po-
litical natural" oddly remi-
niscent Of another such
called LBJ. His adroitness
under fire and pressure is
not in fact exampled by any
other Republican. not even
by Old Pro Nixon.
So, draw q circle around
two names - Nixon and
Scranton - and one has a
reasonably sound bet that
within that circle he has put
down the identity Of the
1864 Republican presidential
nominees.

Best Bets in G. o. p. Presidential Race

Putting aside on-the-oth-
er-hands and yes-buts and
all other escape matches, the
strong hunch of this colum-
mist is that the real race for
the Republican presidential
nomination is narrowing right
down to a field of two-Nixon
and Scranton.
Along the right wing of the
g. o. p. Senator Barry Gold
water Is still a possibility, but
on all present indications a
clearly diminishing poSsibil-
ity. He has in any event yet
to say that he will go" at all;
and even If and when he
should say 1t he clearly would
enter the contest In q. far
from optimistic spirit. For his
old base of the South and
West has been sharply shaken
If not actually pre-empted by
President johnson.
Along the left wing, Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller Of New
York is campaigning with
zest and commendable can
dor; but no detached analysis
can find any very great hope
in his prospects. The divorce
and remarTiage have badly
hurt him. However unfairly,
even the private business of
public figures inevitably be-
comes the public's business.
because the public insists on
making it so.
Moreover, to sensitive poll
ticians the atmosphere Of the
country is now almost pal
pably full of a demand that
an aura Of great stability
must envelop both its insti-
tutions and its leaders. The
shock Of John F. Kennedy's
assassination has done more
than to pull the Nation to-
gether. 1t has, in the judg-

that the late President had
in fact cast the political
scene in Germany. Erhard
did not shrink from ac-
knowledging that he believes
1t imperative to his own fu-
ture In politics to establish
and maintain the closest pos
sible relations with the new
President.
Mr.. Kennedy's influence
on German politics was
greater than most Americans
realized. The German talk Of
being pro-American or pro-
French was merely another
way Of saying that one was
liberal or conservative and
the liberals In Germany
looked to President Kennedy,
more than to anyone else, for
guidance and style. The
question now Is whether
Washington viii continue to
EN- q nate this influence,
which bears significantly on
the future Of the new demo-
cratic state.
Frhard, in office since oc-
tol,er IS, made 1t clear to
President de Gaulle while
Mr.. Kennedy was still alive
that no German Chancellor
can hold his office unless he
maintains q basic friendship
with the United States Presi-
dent. The Frenchman Is said
to have retorted somewhat
grumpily, "I am friends with
him"
Erhard's predecessor, Kon-
rad Adenauer, often gave the
impression that he felt he
could trust the French but
was not sure about the Amer
leans. Erhard has left no
question Of his confidence in
the Americans. He has given
the French the satisfaction
of an assurance that he does

West German Chancellor
Ludwig Erhard Is travelling
TO johnson City in search Of
an easy and confident rela-
tionship with the President Of
the United States. He will
undoubtedly find that one Is
available to him.
The new President and the
new Chancellor are likely to
get on well. The tone Of the
Texas talks was set In their
conversation on the day Of
John F. Kennedy's funeral.
Noting an absence Of press
ing problems between West
Germany and the United
States, Mr.. johnson observed
there was no necessity for
them to hold aSformal meet
ing In the immediate future.
Erhard protested that
while q meeting might not be
necessary from Mr.. John
sons point Of view, it was
very essential from his own.
He explained that q German
Chancellor had considerable
license in his relations with
an American President until
six months ago-the German
people didn't really care
whether the dealings were
cordial or diSagreeable.
But this was changed, Err
hard said. by the impact of
John Kennedy's visit to West
Germany in June. He said
the late President made such
an impression upon the Ger
mans that he could probably
have carried an election
there as q live political lead
er and was certainly being
mourned as q dead one with
more emotion than the Ger
mans would be expected to
extend to any Of their own

u. S. Financing of Soviet Wheat Deal
Recalls Deals With Hitler in 1906

II America ever tolerates
dictatorship as an instru-
ment Of government. 1t could
come about only through ac-
ceptance Of the misguided
concepts of expediency so
often set forth nowadays by
some Of the so-called "liber-
al" philosophers. For no
more flagrant example Of
distorted "constitutionalism"
could be offered today than
the doctrine Of those who are
charging that any refusal by
Congress to supply credit ia
cilities for the sale Of wheat
to the Soviet government is
an interference with or inva-
sion Of the power Of the
President to conduct foreign
policy or Is q curb on the ex-
ercise of presidential authori-
ty.
Yet this Is the argument
on which was based the
administrations drive to
coerce q reluctant and un-
willing House Of Representa-
tives to pass such q measure.
It was finally approved by a
narrow majority after 10
days of wrangling, three pro-
cedural votes, and the engen-
dering Of a good deal Of hard
feeling.
The Constitution gives no
power to the President to Or
der funds to be made availa-
BILE to other countries Just
because he thinks It's good
foreign policy" There is no
discretion vested in the Pres
ident Of the United States to
spend public money unless
Congress votes him such dis
cretion.
No President can declare
war without q prior resolu-
ton by Congress. No Presi-
dent can make q binding
treaty without the consent Of
two-thirds Of the members Of
the Senate. No President can
make rules for the govern
ment and regulation Of the
land and naval forces" with
out authority from Congress.
The real issue in the latest
controversy between the ex-
ecutive and Congress devel-
Evening star., 1963-12-26

oped as q result Of the Presi-
dents proposal to buy good
will among foreign nations
by giving them grants or
loans and specifically permit
ting the use Of the credit Of
the United States Govern
ment to finance wheat sales
by Americans to the Soviet
Union. Representative How
ard W. Smith Of Virginia,
chairman Of the House Rules
Committee and q Democratic
Party leader, said he has no
objection to sale Of the
wheat but wants to see 1t fl
nanced by cash on the bar
relhead." There are many
other members Of Congress
who don't want to see any
transactions at all with Rus
STA financed by the American
Government. They were dra-
gooned by administration
pressure into voting for such
q measure.
The Constitution gives to
Congress the sole power to
deal with this whole matter.
1t says explicitly that "The
Congress shall have power {.
to regulate commerce with
foreign nations" It doesn't
say that the President shall
share in such power Yet the
soc allied liberals" are
crying out that the initial be-
havior Of Congress In recent
days was an interference
with the Presidents conduct
Of foreign policy. Some went
so far as to imply that some
constitutional right Is being
invaded by Congress when it
insists on looking carefully at
every proposed use Of the
American taxpayers money.
Maybe the next step will be
to insist some day that Con-
greSs turn over the tax re-
ceipts in their entirety to the
executive to be spent as he
sees fit.
1t Is strange how often his
tory repeats itself. Back in
the early 1930s, the rise of
Hitlerism caused widespread
dismay. There were proposals

to give non-poll taxpayers more

roughly from December /, 1868,

If there are not sufficient
votes to pass the bill with an

added. the legislation If
by a simple majority
would not be effective until late
February, giving the non-poll
taxpayers less than three
months to qualify.
The second measure, referred
to today as the long BILL" does
not carry an emergency clause
and in effect would set up sub
stantialy the same procedure
included in the short bill for
elections later than next year.
