LONDON (LTD In its first stock-taking of President Lyn don B. Johnson, Europe has given him a thumbs up vote. After the first shock over the assassination of President Ken nedy, and even some panic, a mood of confidence that lead ership of the Western alliance remains in strong bands ap pears to have taken hold. Only events and the manner in which Johnson deals witn them can prove the final ver dict of America's allies, but a survey of European capitals by United Press International re porters shows that at the outset Johnson has made a good im pression. Many of Europe's leading statesmen were able to make their first assessment of the new President when they went to Washington for the Kennedy funeral rites. Others base their hope in Johnson on what they have seen of him on his trips as vice president, and on his statements and speeches of the past week. Home Impressed British Prime Minister S i r Alec Douglas-Home stated h i s own opinion pt me suaaeniy burdened Texan immediately on his return from Washington. The new President "greatly impressed all the visitors and observers in Washington," Douglas Home said. He ex pressed confidence the "finely held" checks and balances of international relations would not be disturbed by the change ni American leadership. West German Chancellor Lud wig Erhard, another visitor to Washington, was reported by his closest aides to have been greatly encouraged by his in itial reactions to Johnson whom he found looking to the future and acutely aware of the prob lems of Germany and West Berlin. In Communist surrounded West Berlin itself, which John son visited on a morale-boosting mission shortly after erec tion of the Communist wall in 1901, Mayor Willy Brandt said he knows the new President is as determined as his predeces sor to stand by all commit ments to the city. "Berliners can have the same confidence in Johnson they had in Ken nedy," Brandt said. Proved To Be Thorn French President Charles de Gaulle, whose go-it-alone tac tics in East-West relations and nuclear policies were a thorn in the side of the Kennedy ad ministration, is not likely to be less a thorn for Johnson's ad ministration. But persons close to the French leader report that in his first contact with the new President in Washing ton Dc Gaulle liked the measure of the man. Austria's Chancellor Alfons Gorbach who saw Johnson for 15 minutes after the Kennedy funeral said "peace and free dom" were in good hands. Switzerland's Foreign Minister F. T. Wahlen saw US. Secre-j tary of State Dean Rusk, not the President. But his impres sion was said to be that contin ued strong leadership could be expected. I Another who returned encour aged from Washington was Nor way's Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen who said he found more insecurity in Europe over the change in American leader ship than he did in the United States. Denmark's Prime Min ister Jens Otto Krag has not seen Johnson since he succeeded to the presidency but met him as vice president. He voiced his confidence in the new Chief Executive within hours of Ken nedy's murder. Rates Johnson Highly Finland's President Urho Kek konen saw a good deal of John son on a Washington visit in Oc tober, 1961, and again when the then vice president visited Fin land less than three months'early this month and found him ago He gives Johnson a high! well informed on "the broad B . - . . outlines" of foreign affairs, rating in statesmanship.
