President Lyndon Bdines Johnson

take note.
X X X 4
President Johnson is a man with
a burden.
He is a sincere man and his APP
meals to the Congress and the people
for help and cooperation were not
meaningless form.
We should give it unstintingly.
"All I have | would have gladly
qiven not to be here today -. he
said and meant it. Lyndon Johnson is
not the kind of man who wishes to gain
an office other than OF his own merit
and worth, not through misfortune or
tragedy.
His assessment of the late Presi-
dent as "a great and good man" was
based on his own relationship with the
President, through close association
and communication. Mr.. Johnson has
called him "the greatest leader OF our
time"
Another mark of the Kennedy
greatness, and what it means to our
nation, is shown in the fact that Presi-
dent Kennedy did take the Vice Presi-
dent and make him an integral part
of the administration.
The new President has more sure
knowledge of our government and the
state of our nation than any other
man before him = and this is all to
the good.
President Johnson has made it
plain he is the president of all the peo-
pie = that he will serve all the nation
= not merely one sector, one group.
We are the UNITED states, he
told the Congress.
That overwhelming fact is at one
our refuge and our strength.
May God grant President Johnson
the wisdom and strength to keep us
that way.
Let us support him and our coun-
try henceforth with love, loyalty and
all u devotion.

Our New Leader
"Let us continue"

3Let us continue"
Thus spoke the new President OF
the United States.
In eloquent, straightforward Ian
guage, President Lyndon Baines john
son made it abundantly clear he has
picked up the gauntlet felled by an
assassin's bullet, and the crusade be-
gun by John Fitzgerald Kennedy for
freedom and peace at home and abroad
will continue.
President Johnson gave an unmis-
taxable challenge to the Congress, in
which he has pridefully served for
thlrty-two years, to do it's job, dis
charge its responsibilities, to show the
nation it can and will act, and NOW.
Congress would do well to heed his
words.
There has already been too much
miring down in petty differences and
political ~partisanship. The image of
congress as a responsible body of
representative government is suffering
in this nation today. Some public con-
fidence has been shaken.
This should not happen, ever.
The president of the United States,
the leader and representative of all
the nation, should have his program in
the national interest voted upon.
whether by adoption or rejection. Con-
gress should not merely obstruct and
delay.
Time is running out for those
members of both houses who engage in
such tactics - those who are concern
ed only with their own self-preserva-
ton and the selfish interests of their
own constituents.
Time is especially short = or
should be for the Southerners who
still are living in the Civil War and
fight every step of progress. This is
the Space Age and it is time they be
made to realize it, other Congressman

How, then, car any honest teacher
or honest textbook writer fail to in
clude these historical facts among
others equally unpalatable to some
Miss~issippians = in what they teach
or write? The answer is that they
can't, unless they wish to engage in
the double-think demand by the totali-
tarians of the far right or left. In Rus
STA it is possible to rewrite history
or remove Stains tomb and make the
people swallow it. In a free United
States, it is impossible that the Farm
Bureaus request that books be screen
ed to make sure that they reflect "our
ideas of Americanism and patriotism
could work in the same way.
Here in Mississippi, however, we
can create a popular mythology about
some of the events and facts of his
tory so that the people may be tempo
rarilv fooled into believing something
other than the truth. This will only
make the truths impact more shatter-
ing when as it inevitably must, it is
brought home to us by the continuing
events which are even now making the
history which someone else will be
called upon to write in the future.
