Ralph Recalls ‘Faith’; Lyndon Climbs /in Flak ‘Optimism’ in Cuero AUSTIN Sen. Ralph Yarborough has been keeping a steady round of speaking dates this fall. He and Mrs. Yarborough at tended the inauguration of Mexican president Mateos last week, . but otherwise he has been tending to the fences at home. Friday he was to address the Farmers’ Union convention in Mineral Wells and an appreciation dinner at the downtown Dallas YMCA. Recently he has spoken to Democrats in the 21st senatorial district in Laredo on. Latin America and the good neighbor policy and to the National Reclamation Assn. in Houston on reclamation. He bitterly attacked Freedom in Action, the extremely conservative political organization, in Dallas Friday night. As his remarks were released in Austin, he called attention to the recent Dallas FLA. tended by “known Republicans, known reactionaries, and some good Texans who I believe for some reason or other … got in the wrong pew.” He said Jake Jacobsen’s speech on Gov. Daniel’s behalf marked the Governor’s first open endorsement of FIA, although, Yarborough charged, FIA was a part of the group which controlled the state Democratic convention in San Antonio this year, In a speech at a similar appreciation dinner in Austin, Yarborough reflected on his political life as measured by counties he carried: 1952, 20-odd; 1954, more than 100; 1956, 147; 1957, 169; the first primary in 1958, 220; and the general election this year, 250 of the 254. He told of a Ford dealer at Spur, Texas, who once asked him if he could distribute extra copies of some literature which said Yarborough didn’t drink or smoke. Of course, Yarborough replied, but why? “For years they’ve told us out on the South Plains you stay so drunk they have to pick you up and pump your stomach out,” the dealer told him. Why, Yarborough asked, had he supported him if he thought he was a common drunk? “He hemmed and hawed,” the senator said, “and finally he said, ‘I just thought a drunk Democrat would make us a better representative than a sober Republican.’ That just shows you how strong the faith was. They had calls to make millions of people think I’d abandoned three wives.” Yarborough noted that while the state Republican convention this year resolved angrily against Democrats, the Democratic convention resolutions committee rejected a resolution criticizing the Republicans 29-6, “and that was just about the proportion by which the Republicans controlled the key positions in that convention.” “Some say we ought to be kind to these Republicans and not say anything about ’em,” Yarborough said. He agreed with Harry Truman, the senator said. “As he said, he didn’t give ’em hell, he just told ’em the truth and they thought it was hell.” With Texas 39th among the states in old age pension payments, Yarborough said, “this inept state government just puts up $6” Of the first $30 of each pension. “I voted for Caso March back there, and others,” he said. “We haven’t had a Democratic governor in Texas since Jimmy Allred was governor.” AUSTIN Senator Lyndon Johnson, weighed in now as a hefty in the presidential sweepstakes by Time Magazine, has been drawing bitter criticism from the left and the right which suggests the next Congress will be one of the most trying tests of his public life. Johnson was very nearly endorsed for the Democratic nomination by Time, which numbered him among six cover-featured possibilities. After alluding to his heart attack and saying “he can be classed as a Southerner at a time when the Democratic Party is less likely than ever before” to nominate one, Time continued: “But if there is such a thing as ‘deserving’ a presidential nomination, then Lyndon Johnson is probably the most deserving Democrat. A Senate leader of superb skills, he pushed, pulled, cajoled, and bullied Senate Democrats along a moderate course that made for a party image overwhelmingly a p p r o v e d at the polls.” Johnson appeared at the UN on behalf of the United States to say the country is united behind a UN program for the peaceful development of outer space. He visited Mexican presiden;. Mateos on. a good will tour at the request of the Administration. In domestic politics he was slapped at from the left and the right. In Washington, three liberal senators, held a joint conference to rule out any compromise on limiting Senate debate on majority vote after 15 days’ debate. Johnson was represented as favoring -changing the rule from two-thirds of the whole Senate to two thirds of the senators voting; the liberal spokesmen nay-said this. Sen. Paul Douglas, Illinois, also said Johnson’s 12-point program was “notable for its omissions,” including civil rights and plugging tax loopholes. \(Johnson was asked by a Negro reporter at the UN why he had skipped civil rights and he had replied, “We’re working on that. We’re making York Negro leader Roy Wilkins of the NAACP defined “Johnsonism” as “the acceptance of a parliamentary tidbit containing not enough civil rights substance to fill a thimble.” Johnson answered a letter from a Marshall citizen chastising him for his vote to recommit a bill to curb the Supreme Court last session. Johnson repliedand his letter appeared in the Marshall dailythat he had three choices: let a filibuster develop, advocate a change in the rules so that a simple majority could cut off debate, or recommit the whole issue “to Senator Eastland’s Judiciary Committee, where prudent men could Shape legislation that might have a chance of passage at the next session.” Johnson w r o to the citizen, James Elkin, that he did not think letting the filibuster occur would be “wise,” and that had he advocated a majority cut-off of the filibuster, “In this case, never again could 20 southern senators prevent a vote on certain types of legislation.” Therefore he took the third course, he explained. The Texas Manufacturers’ Association said Johnson is not following Butler in advocating civil rights “and other extreme leftwing proposals” but is not advocating “any proposals designed to strengthen rather than weaken the American free enterprise system.” TMA distributd to members a copy of OCAW’s Union News for Oct. 27 showing Johnson and Ti Three persons pleaded guilty and were fined $100 and a fourth pleaded not guilty and was held in lieu of $500 bond on charges of adultery in county court at Silsbee … The Austin American reported that raids on “three well-known San Antonio highway establishments” resulted in the arrest of 12 young women, “most in their early twenties,” who were booked for vagrancy, fined $20.50 each, and released … The San Antonio Express reported unwed motherhood is increasing “as much as 20 per cent over a year ago,” noted a corresponding increase in the baby blackmarket with some prices as high as $800. Abilene PTA and church lead ers scheduled visits to every newstand in. town Dec. 8 to drive objectionable literature off the stands. A. L. Frazier, treasurer of the Abilene Federation of Youth Development, said the “jucier types of magazines are put out by Communists or gangsters,” added that hiS organization plans no legal action and seeks only the “voluntary cooperation” of magazine dealers … In Dallas, civic, church, a n d women’s groups heard a panel of church and lawenforcement leaders discuss the nature of objectionable entertainment available in the Stockard and Oak Cliff areas of the city. fr A Texas A & M cadet was wounded in both feet by a shotgun blast fired by a University of Texas student “guarding” a fraternity float on the eve of the two schools’ traditional football game.
