Call Florine Britt control” in a sense means precisely that he is "o u t of the club.” For it speaks to his inability to come to terms with W ashington’ s entren ched powers, with its congressional moguls, pundits and tenured bureaucrats; with, in other words, the people who can help government w ork, o f underm ine it w ith em- brassing leaks, programmed failures and countervailing loyalities. I his process is nothing new in the C apital. M ark Twain mercilessly lampooned the W ashington establishment and its influence- mongering 100 years ago in The Gilded Age. But the Club survived his satiric thrusts as easily as it sur vived Grover Cleveland’ s civil ser vice reforms, which were intended to make the bureaucracy more responsive by ending the patronage system, and wound up only making it more deeply entrenched. By the end o f the last century, Washington King makers like Ohio Senator M ark Hanna were the nation's real chief executives. They would have remained so but for the assassin's bullet which put Teddy Roosevelt in the Oval Office. Less than 20 years later, the Club reasser ted its power w ith a vengeance, when Senator Henry Cabot Lodge led the congressional drive to humble an independent-m inded Woodrow Wilson. A fte rw a rd came the weakling presidents Harding and Coolidge, and then a nearly continuous stream of more forceful executives, drawn directly from the ranks o f the Club. « C R I B.

The Club changed in composition and character over those years, grow ing vastly under F ranklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson, and gradually assuming basic allegiance to the concept o f the w elfare state. But it remained a club, making decisions which affec ted everyone, based on its own rules and relationships. The campaign against Carter demonstrates its con tinuing power. In the dog days o f August, near convention time in a political year full o f acrimony, some sort o f in fighting was predictable no matter who sat in the White House. But the seriousness o f the dump C arter movement is extraordinary. It has its roots in a pervasive anxiety in Washington over what is perceived to be a general decline o f state power around the world, the kind of power that makes Washingtonians im p o rta n t. In the minds o f traditional power brokers, Jimmy C arter is associated w ith that decline. Along with John Anderson, if for d iffe re n t reasons, he also sym bolizes the waning vita lity o f the two major parties. As president he has been neither in control of, nor controlled by the Democratic Party structure he ostensibly represents. To the power brokers, moreover, the breakdown o f the tw o-party monopoly on domestic politics is synonymous with the breakdown o f a bi polar global political scheme which has dom inated the W ashington consciousness since Salem site of Jazz Festival 283-1976 for free inform ation about M ortuary Services * No Obligation.

Despite his low standing in the polls, the first question ought to have been suf ficiently answered by his siring o f primary successes. The second may be no more than a semantic quibble. The charge that Carter is “ out o f or First 4 Pounds Addi. Reg. Price SAFEGUARD /< Safe^,d\ SHOUT World War II. Decisions and allian ces are far more problematic now than they were in the days when Washington and Moscow - or the Democrats and the G .O .P . — defined all o f the choices that mat tered. Carter has not succeeded in his ef fo rt to forge an alternative ap proach, but he long ago acknowledged that the old solutions to Am erica's problems were un workable. That, rather than “ Billygate,” explains the fight over Democratic Convention rules and the movement to dump Jimmy Carter in favor o f a bonafide Washington insider like Edmund Muskie, Walter Mondale — or Ted Kennedy. Carter’s cautious appraisal o f the w orld may be realistic, but it challenges illusions about power in which too many well-placed members o f the Washington Club have a profound stake.
