Bevel, a Texan who has set

Democratic convention, thinks
that Johnson is especially con-
stituted to appeal to the North.
There are two big reasons for
this. One, johnson has the sort
of temperament that should en-
able him to get along with the
business community = ''provid-
ed, Of course, that it doesn't
pull any rough stuff" "Look
at it this way" said Bowel.
johnson is perhaps the best
sampler of minds in the coun-
try; he keeps his promises; he
is tolerant of all points of view
until he has arrived at a de-
cision, and then, having arriv-
ed at a consensus, he is intoIer-
ant Of the backbiting and in

the members of the Supreme
Court that the salaries Of the SEN

cabinet and the judiciary have, for
some time, been below the level

in State government, and that in

Things have come to a pretty

the opinion of the Chief Justice on
a matter such as this and it adds
nothing to the dignity of the SUI

To all the world Jacqueline
Kennedy presented last week an
image which the London Even
ing Standard" epitomized as
majesty" But people every
where, hundreds of millions of
them, did weep tears and mani
fest their sympathy. A typical
letter = which came to a Wash
ington friend from a French
newspaper woman in Paris, a
grandmother who has watched
historic events for a long, long
time - is quoted here:
81 heard a flash on the ra-
dio: Kennedy shot! Badly
wounded" 1t was a terrible
shock. ! could not believe it.

exaggerated. I let the d

later the tragic news reached
my ears = he was dead |
cannot tell you the sorrow which
was mine. From that moment
on, the telephone began to ring.
My friends and acquaintance
were calling to tell me how
shocked, Mortified and grieved
they were.
"You cannot have any idea
of the deepness of the grief
that has spread all over tn S
country. Everybody = yes, ev-
erybody - shares the pain that
has fallen on the United States"
What lessons do such mani
festations of human grief teach
us? 1t is that the hearts of peo-
pies everywhere can be united
irrespective Of geography or ma
tionality.
But even as the world poured
out its sympathy, a lonely wo-
man strolled along the S a n

day comforted only by the liv-
ing memorial at her side - two
beautiful children Drawing the

Emotion LegisIoting

per cent of the people of this IA
tion-perhaps even more-are ap-
palled, upset and grieved at the
suddenness and manner of Presi-
dent Kennedy's death. Deplorable
and regrettable as that was, it has
nothing to do with the merits and
dement's of national legislation
pending at the time. This includes
the legislation in which he was in
tensely interested for motives that
were as political as anything else.
1t should be neither forgotten nor
lightly dismissed that such was the
case.
There are proper and fitting
ways to honor and eulogize Mr..
Kennedy but passing legislation
primarily for that purpose and
with insufficient regard for the i'm
pact the legislation will have on
the living and the nations econo-
my is neither proper nor fitting.
1t is a form of emotionalism which,
if successful, could result in great
regret later.
To oppose this legislation and
the reason now advanced for its
passage is no reflection on the late
President. If it was bad and un-
desirable before his passing, it is
bad and undesirable now. His
death had no effect on its worth
one way or the other. If any try
to make it appear that opposition
is detraction to Mr.. Kennedy's
memory, let them keep in mind
that such is not so-but to enact
laws of the land as memorials is
to misuse grief.

WASHINGTON = The untold
story of Jacqueline Kennedy
NAV inspire the poets Of tomor-
row to write the pic of a trag-
edy almost unparalleled in his
tory.
Three times in a matter of
seconds did death whiz by her
the wife of the President of
the United States and the moth
er of their two little children.
Only a few inches spared her
the same fate that befell her
husband. Instantly he lay pros
trate in her lap. She saw the
bleeding body - his head in
jured beyond description and
never uncovered again.
AS Jacqueline Kennedy went
to the hospital in a speeding
car, as she waited for the final
word of the physicians, as she
Travelled by plane to Washing
ton and emerged there in the
same blood-bespattered dress
that she had worn at the NOM
ent that changed history, there
was no outward sign of the grief
which she felt within. She could
have collapsed in tears. She
might have sought the Solace
of solitude. But she exhibited in
stead the courage of a per-
son who felt an overwhelming
sense of duty. She alone could
express the wishes of a wife
and the nations first lady. She
began to think Of her husband
as the fallen President of the
United States - as the man to
whom the people generally
would wish to pay solemn and
significant tribute. She gave to
the aides at the White House
helpful suggestions. She arrang-
ed for the details of the funer-
al service and the street pro-
ceSsion to the church.
Jacqueline Kennedy, her eyes
straight ahead, walked the half
mile from the White House to
st. Matthew's Cathedral as she
led the members of the govern
ment of the United States and
many d~ignitarieS from foreign
governments - all of them
afoot. Her face, as she stood at
the grave at Arlington Gene
terry was impassive - shroud-
ed but undaunted. The W h
world saw this mastery of self

she wept in the darkness I'M
observed by the multitude.
Still in her thirties, Mrs. Ken
nedy has been in the public eye
as a gracious hostess to heads
Of state, to artists, to poets,
to distinguished authors. She
has dedicated herself to the
arts and to the encouragement
Of cultural as well as charitable
endeavors. She is fond Of horse

Johnson's conduct Of foreign
policy will sustain the general
line Of approach Of his dead
predecessor, John F. Kennedy,
but there will be significant diff
ferences in tone and emphasis.
The new President Is likely to
be less patient than was { h
old toward any infighting with
In his own Administration on
any world issue once the de-
cision has been made. Take the
case of the war against COM
munism in South Wet Nam for
one Illustration.
It may confidently be expect
ed that in that Southeast Asian
area of crisis the military re-
sistance to communism in which
American troops are assisting
the new provisional government
will be stepped up and that total
unity within the American di-
plomatic : military : intelligence
team, If 1t does not now exist,
will very shortly exist beyond
question.
Again, President Johnson,
though fully sharing Mr.. Ken
nedy's concern for world OPT
Mon, will be a bit more con-
cerned with the necessities Of
our old Western allies and a bit
less concerned with ~neutralist
pressures and neutralist COM
plants.
Moreover, in the day-by-day
operations Of foreign policy 1t is
highly probable that Secretary
Of State Dean Rusk will assume
a higher position a n hereto

tration MI. Rusk was held in
both respect and admiration. but

not quite at the vital center of

There is no question that now
the Secretary will be right In
that vital center. President John
son is a very strong believer
in Rusk both as a man and
as a quiet, steady public Of
ficial whose counsels the new
President has often valued in
the past.

said. "But no man who ran the

be ignorant of foreign affairs.
Coming from Texas, Johnson
is an aficionado about Mexico.

on that score. The point about
this is that johnson knows how

mans. He will certainly tighten
things up in the balance of pay
ments and foreign aid business.
AS for his not knowing Europe,
this is nonsense. Chancellor Ad-
enauer visited with johnson in
his office in the Senate back
in 1860. Before the long chat
was over, johnson had made
Adenauer promise to visit him
in Texas on his next trip to
the U. S. When Adenauer did
come back to the U. S. he spent
some time with johnson at his
ranch. johnson knows how to
bring people to him, and it
wasn't for show, for the AIDE
nauer promise was made be-
fore the election.
"The second reason for think.
ing that johnson can appeal to
the North is that he has been
a real leader on civil rights
Just think Of it, it was as a
Texas Senator who had just re-
covered from a massive heart
attack that Johnson engineered,
if that is the word for it, the
first civil rights bill since the
Civil War. A couple Of years
after this he promised that If
the Senate would not take up
a new civil rights bill by 1860,
he, johnson, would introduce
one personally. He kept his
promise by attaching a civil
rights rider to an innocuous bill
and nearly blew the roof off
the Senate.
''The point is that johnson
