Viva Johnson Clubs Albert Fuentes, Jr., candidate for lieu tenant governor, announced formation of “Viva Johnson” clubs in Texas, an act designed in part to forestall Johnsonian hostility toward PASO, which is the Political Association for Spanish-Speaking Organizations. p o st An announcement from the five direc tors of the Viva Johnson ClubsE. B. Taylor, Dickinson; Noe Garza, Corpus Christi; Bob Sanchez, McAllen ; Willie Diaz, Del Rio, and Fuentessaid the clubs will help “real Democrats” win the Democratic conventions and write a state platform committed to support LBJ and his legislative proposals. “There is grave danger that President Johnson may be embarrassed and handicapped in the eyes of the whole nation unless all real Texas Democrats move quickly,” the announcement said. V In an associated news release, Bexar Cty. Cmsr. Albert Pena, PASO state chairman, said, “The anti-Johnson program conservatives have already telegraphed their strategy. They will say they are for Johnson but not hip program.” Pena asked PASO members to go to their conventions and advocate Johnson’s nomination and his war on poverty, civil rights, medicare, federal aid to education, wage and hour laws, and the end of the bracero program. V President Johnson designated Dr. Hector Garcia, the Corpus Christi physician who stormed out of a state PASO convention, as his representative “with the rank of Special Ambassador” to attend the ceremonies incident to the inauguration of the president of Venezuela recently.

The timing of the visit, less than five weeks before the primary vote, argues more persuasively for this conclusion than the governor’s pro forma statement that it was strictly a “friendly, personal, social” visit argues against it. poor Neil Addington writes in a Houston Post column that Don Yarborough was critical of the Texas press and Johnson in 1962 but praises both this year. V “PIPE,” the “Public Interest Political Education Fund,” is soliciting funds again for the campaigns of conservative candidates for the legislature from rural areas. Ed C.
