ing orthodoxy of the moment
may be on its way out.
The "new breed" of econo-
mists has much greater re-
Spect for old-fashioned free en-
terprise than the generation that
grew up in the Nineteen ThirtieS.
But it tends to a subtle ap-
proach to the business Of re-
viving free competition in the
Age of the Welfare State. 1t

whole tissue of so-called Inter

decisions. In Deuteronomy is this
passage: Behold, set befo1e you
this day blessing and curse; a
blessing, if we obey the command
ments of the Lord your God, which
I command you this day. and a
curse, if ye will not obey the COM
mandments -"
Having read them, no one can
forget these words from Joshua:
"And if it seem evil unto you to
serve the Lord, choose you this
day whom we will serve; whether
the gods which your fathers served
that were on the other side of the
flood, or the gods of the Amorites
in whose land we dwell; but as for
me and my house, we will serve
the Lord"
". we will serve the Lord"
There can be no better, no more
proper decision than that. This Is
the same as fearing God and keep
ing His commandments which, ac-
cording to Ecclesiastes, "is the
whole duty of man."
All the foregoing was COM
pressed into just one paragraph by
Charles A. Stoddard, the 10Th GEN.
tury clergyman, author and editor,
when he wrote: "When we can say
no. not only to things that are
wrong and sinful, but also to
things pleasant, profitable, and
good which would hinder and clog
our grand duties and our chief
work, we shall understand more
fully what life is worth, and how
to make the most of it,"
The chronicle., 1963-12-06

Life, after all, is a never-ending
series of choices and decisions. In
endowing man with the privilege
of choice and decision, God has
imposed on him the responsibility
and burden of choosing and decid-
ing Alright. He can not have one
without the other.
Someone once said that 'what
we are is Gods gift to us and what
we make of ourselves is our gift to
Him." This is predicated upon de-
ciSion - decision that we make.
Happily, God has accompanied the
gift of decision with the wisdom
and discernment to make right de-
cisions. And, further, he has
blessed everyone with certain
equipment, environment, person
ality and other attributes. 1t is for
each person to take these qualities
and make the best of his lirnita-
tions and, be 1t great or small, try
to accomplish something which
will please God. This may appear
to some as shallow thinking. But
they overlook that it is God who is
to be pleased, they forget the pro-
fundity of the unattributed obser-
walton that what we are is Gods
gift to us and what we make of
ourselves is our gift to Him."
What we make of ourselves is
determined by the inevitable and
ceaseless decisions that are basic
part of life. That is why the Bible
offers constant remin derS to

Kennedy recognized the political
value Of having Southerner on
the ticket, as there was doubt
whether all the Southern states
would 60 Democratic. In a dis
patch from Los Angeles on July
20, 1860, this correspondent
wrote:
when word was being passed
around the Convention Hall last
Thursday that Senator johnson
had accepted Senator Kennedy's
offer of the vice-presidential
nomination, a close adviser Of
the Texas senator approached
this correspondent and said:
II know you will be surpris-
ed about this, but last night
several of us had a talk with
Senator Johnson and discussed
very frankly what we were up
against. Bear in mind that the
labor leaders fought johnson
for the top place on the ticket,
and they don't like him. Bear
in mind that Jack Kennedy will
make a campaign on virtually
a socialistic platform. He may
be less radical if elected, b u t
he will be plenty radical in
the campaign. What is that
going to do to us in the South
during the coming session of
Congress and later on?
Well, many Of us in tn e
Johnson camp felt he just had
to get in there and exercise a
restraining influence. IF elected,
Lyndon johnson will have con-
siderable power inside the Sem
ate, just as he has had as ma
jority leader. / tell you his in

cause he would remain as ma

weakness occurs when changing

close election Of that year - a
dispatch by this writer said:
"What America lacks today
is a system that provides for
continuity in government, with

a president by popular vote
sounds, theoretically, desirable,

1t costs industry approximately $2O,-
900 to provide job, but the federal

the line to create job through in

comparison is one frequently ignored in
discussions Of the private versus the pub

y gets to the meat of the argument.
No one could deny that government.

powers, can create new jobs. In fact,
1t does just that, as annual personnel
budget requests to Congress indicate.
But at what cost are these jobs Great

There Is no benefit If Washington adds
$4,000 new names to the payroll and

more efficient job producer be encourag-

tous circumstance, the United
States today has in Lyndon
johnson a president who, though
chosen under the American cleo
toral system, possesses the
very kind Of legislative expert
ence characteristic of the parlia-
mentary system prevalent in
other English speaking coun-
tries.
While the vice presidential
nomination has been given to
members of the Senate or
House several times in Ameri-
can history, the leader Of a par

quently been named for the e
vice presidency. Yet, by rea-
son of a strategic position in
the councils Of his party, such
a man is closer to the prob
lens of the national govern
ment than are any Of the gov
ernorS of states or even indivi-
dual members of Congress who,
though they may become promi-
nent, are not selected by their
colleagues to be party leaders.
The trend in recent years, of
course, has been toward the Sc
lection of a vice presidential
nominee from Congress. Sena-
tor Charles Curtis, majority
leader, was vice president I'M
der President Hoover. House
Speaker John Nance Garner
became vice president under
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1888.
Senate majority leader Alben
W. Barkley was elected vice
president with Harry Truman in
1948. Although not his party's
leader, Senator John F. Kenne-
dyu came close to winning the
vice-presidential nomination on
the ticket with Mr.. Stevenson
n 1856, but the Democratic Con-
vention delegates turned to an
other senator, the late Estes
Kefauver Of Tennessee, for the
secnnd place, who, too, was not
the party's leader.
Few Of these men, however,
had the popularity of support
inside the Congress that Lyn-
don johnson enjoyed in his
eight years as Senate majority
leader. This correspondent, in a
dispatch from the Democratic
National Convention at Los An
geles on July II, 1860, wrote:
"The Texas senator Lyndon
Johnson) Is the real choice Of
the delegates here. There's no
doubt about it. Every conver-
Sation with KEY men in various
delegations confirms that appra-
isal. The feeling is that John
son could surely win in No
vernber and that Kennedy is
likely to be beaten by Nixon.
The contrast Is between a youth
ful candidate and an expert
enced leader
Mr.. Kennedy turned out to be
a man of more maturity than
former President Truman a nd
other Democratic spokesmen at
the time believed him to be,
but there was no question about
the sentiment Of many Of the
delegates for the Senate MAORI
ty leader. The late speaker Of
the house, Sam Rayburn, W h o
led the convention fight for Sem
ator Johnson, kept emphasizing
Mr.. Johnson's legislative expert
ence in his talks with the dele
gates.
But how did Senator Johnson

high of around $1OO billion and
again in the red?
Yes, against today's economic
realities, 1t Is tight - and I'm
writing this now to prepare you
for what you'n read next month.
As President Eisenhower put
1t In his 1860 budget message,
eve must not forget that a
rapidly growing popula ion
creates virtually automatic in-
creases in many federal respon-
sibilitieS'' - and there are al.
most 10 million more Americans
today than there were the day
Kennedy took office.
Federal defense and space
spending is definitely tapering
off, spending increases are be-
ing controlled across-the-board,
new programs are being shelv-
ed.
Placed in the perspective OF
our expanding economy, the
total budget isn't any larger
than it was in the late 1950s.
Federal spending has remained
around 1914 per cent of our total
gross national product for years,
and when defense spending is
excluded, the budget shapes up
as 2 per cent Of our GNP now
against 10 per cent in 1949 and
9 per cent in 1899.

Tight Budget

At the very top of his list Of
"muStS" President Johnson has
placed a tight budget" for next
year.
In his first address as Presi-
dent, johnson pledged to admin
ster government spending with
utmost thrift and frugality."
He has since ordered heads Of
all government departments
and agencies to hold money re-
quests to the "barest minimum
consistent with efficient opera
tons. He has told Budget Di-
rector Kermit Gordon to re-
examine every spending figure
so that he Is certain that the
budget he sends to Congress in
January is indeed ian example
Of prudence and economy"
This is impressively tough
money talk. 1t fits the dominant
mood in the country now. 1t al
SO is, as Kennedy acknowledged
and johnson knows, the price
Congress has demanded for
passage Of the tax cut bill.
So what will be a slight bud
get" against the realities of the
United States economy in 1854
65? This is what it will be.
ID 1t will be the biggest bud
get in the almost two centuries
that the United States has been
a nation, smashing all records
for spending in global war as
well as in peace.
~ It will call for spending
in the IL months to start July
1864 at around $lOO billion. The
estimate may be a shade lower
than this historic figure, but if
so it'll only be a shade and
it's a slippery estimate at best.
This budget will be projecting
spending over a period that
won't end until Is months from
January, and, of course, the
total vii be different when the 10
months are over.
~ 1t will represent an increase
Of about 81 billion over this
years spending, now estimated
at 1913 billion. This will be a
smaller year-to-year percentage
increase than in recent years,
but a rise is a certainty because
of built-in forces alone. The
total that must be earmarked
for interest on the national debt
is climbing, because interest
rates have been rising and the
Treasury is paying more to bor-
row money. Some increases in
spending are essential just to
meet existing commitments for
national defense, higher federal
pay scales, Social Security bene-
fits, grants-in-aid to state and
local governments. The proba-
bic spending reductions won't
offset these increases in full.
(4) 1t will be budget in the
red for the fourth year In a row
and it will mark the 18th budget
deficit in the "a years since Her
bert Hoover's era. The deficit
will be originally projected I'M
der the SO billion expected for
this current year. In the end,
its size will be vitally influenced
by the extent to which a tax cut
boosts profits and paychecks,
and thus boosts the Treasury's
tax take from these profits and
paychecks.
This, you say, is a "tight bud

More Importantly, though, he
