Democrats Hit
ByG.O.P.Chiei
BY the Associated Press

Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller has &C.
cused the Democrats Of "seiz-
ing every opportunity to put
Republicans in a bad light
during the 30-day moratorium
on politics.
The Democrats, Mr.. Miller
said, tried to enhance their
own image, confident that we
would not break the moratori-
UNI challenging their claims"
But the moratorium is over,
Mr.. Miller declared yester-
day." and I call on Republicans
everywhere not to take any
more Of this criticism lying
down"
The moratorium on partisan
politics, which Mr.. Miller sug-
geSted, was in effect during the
official period Of mourning for
the late President John F.
Kennedy. That period ended
Sunday.
Mr.. Miller cited as one in
stance "a well-published pill
grimage to the White House"
by Democratic House leaders to
confer with President johnson
on the civil rights bill.

usual and covered with torn
Christmas wrappings.
Yet this year, too, the
country has suffered a pro-
found political tragedy and
has a new President facing a
world in which foreign aid is
q major aspect Of United
States policy. The Christmas
struggle in Washington has
not helped.
The President made the
decision to push ahead with
out delay on any sector al
most within hours Of his sue
cession to John F. Kennedy.
Some congressional seniors
advised and hoped for q
quiet interregnum. Pro-Ken-
nedy forces said no and
johnson came down on their
side. Whether he was right
or wrong is less important
than his considered judg-
ment of his altered relations
with Congress.

Congress has given Presi-
dent johnson a difficult
Christmas. which could in
the end prove helpful.
When the President finally
escapes to his holiday mus
ings at the LBJ Ranch, he
will be forced to consider the
true nature Of his present
relationships with his old
stamping ground.
He had expected to prevail
rather easily in his first
showdown with Congress,
and it was natural that he
should. The issue-foreign
aid-clearly rests within the
presidential province of
responsibility for foreign pol
icy. The appropriation he
had agreed to represented
less than two-thirds Of the
sum President Kennedy had
originally thought necessary.
The President felt that he
was on solid ground in as
serting strongly what he re-
garded as the national inter-
est. He ran up against the
overweening arrogance Of q
subcommittee chairman, par
ty politics and the general
slackness which has charac-
terized the congressional ses-
sion.
The old johnson ties
proved weak; the old sense
of belonging with the Con-
gress was shown to be I'M
real. The emotion Of the
Kennedy mourning period
did not soften the harsh
practical outlines of his prob
lem.
The President now knows
that the President is the
President and Congress is
the Congress and getting the
twain to meet will be a tedi-
GUS and firing task from
here on in.
1t will be hard for Lyndon
johnson to settle down to
such reflections. He has al
ways been prone to substi-
tute action for thought. He is
by temperament sanguine
and confident of his powers
Of persuasion. In many ways
it will be difficult really to
depart from the dogmas Of
his congressional past.
It will be a temptation to
blame much Of the Christ

foreign aid issue.

people will agree in theory
with that sentiment and yet
actually disagree with it in
fact. Many citizens still re-
fuse to read the other side Of
any controversy. preferring
to read only the side with
which they agree. This is an
individual right, but 1t does
not forward the cause Of free
debate. and open discussion
so that a consensus Of what
is really right can. in the
long run, be achieved.
There were many persons
who were critics Of Mr.. Ken
nedy and who disagreed with
his philosophy in politics.
But In Washington, at least.
where differences of opinion
are perennial, there we're few
persons who really disliked

is a strange kind Of business,
but in Washington. where
there are occasionally some
Of the bitterest of debates
and some Of the most out
spoken criticism, 1t is found
that, again and again. adver-
saries in public are not adj

son, however, has not been
learned throughout the coun-

The period Of mourning
for the late President Kenne-
dy has ended. But has the
period Of mutual recrimina-
ton and resentment in at
tempting to fix the blame for
the assassination really been
brought to an end?
For 80 days now the de-
bate has been carried on
with evident attempts by one
faction or the other to make
it appear that its own view
point on some Of the highly
controversial subjects Of the
day somehow had been vindi-
Gated. Clergymen have
preached from the pulpits
and spokesman for various
organizations have uttered
criticisms which seemed to
say that there was in some
way a collective" guilt eth
er for the Nation or for the
city Of Dallas or for people
with which one side or the
other happened to disagree
in public controversies.
Perhaps q significant
example of rebuttal to the
campaign which has been
waged for nearly 80 days on
the subject of "blame" came
in an address delivered by
Price Daniel, former Cover
nor of Texas and former
United States Senator, who
said in Austin, Texas, the
other day:
"Our country sorely needs
truth and tolerance on the

to assess the blame. I have

for the funeral service.
A l0-man motorcycle escort
led the parade. Fifty detec-
tives were stationed inside the
church. Uniformed police and
plainclothesmen kept a sharp
eye on small crowds outside the
church and at the airport.
Immediately after the funeral
service, the President and Mrs
johnson were flying on to

copter was to take them to

here from Washington, the
President told newSmen aboard
his plane that he was looking
forward to spending the
Christmas holidays at the
ranch and his meeting there
