Lyndon Johnson Eyed by Conservative Southerners as Presidential Choice
O
o
Virginia's Byrd .
Reported Among
Eager Supporters
.Washington U.R) Some
powerful conservative South
erners wereyeing Senate Demo
cratic Leader Lyndon B. John
son today as a possible presi
dential nominee for next year
despite his heart attack.
These Southern Democrats ad
mitted serious reservations, how
ever, about whether Johnson's
health would permit him to be
a candidate.
Like President Eisenhower,
Johnson suffered a heart attack
this year a moderately severe
attack which kept him out of
the Senate during the final
month of Congress. He has since
been -reported making a good
recovery, .
Many politicians have assumed
Mr. Eisenhower would remove
himself as a candidate for re
election because of his attack.
Those Democrats who would like
to nominate Johnson must de
cide whether their party would
risk nominating a candidate in
similar circumstances even
though the Texas senator is 18
years younger than Mr. Eisen
hower. '
Byrd Reported Eager
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.)
was reported) by friends to be
among the Southerners eager to
support Johnson if the Texan is
available. In 1S52, Byrd refused
to support Adlai E. Stevenson,
the Democratic presidential nom
inee, and thus helped throw Vir
ginia's electoral votes to Mr.
Eisenhower.
Southern interest in Johnson
reflects . in part a lack of en
thusiasm for Stevenson, Gov.
Averell Harriman of New York
and Sen. Estes Kefauver. (D
Tenn.), who are now regarded
as the most likely possibilities
for the 1956 nomination.- But
from outside the South, Sen.
Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), has
talked of nominating Johnson. '
If Johnson has any presidential
ambitions, he has kept mum
about them. Before his heart at
tack, -he was figuring in specu
lation as a Democratic possibil
ity for 1960.
Caught National Attention
Johnson caught national at
tention for the way he was put
ting his stamp on the record of
the Democratic-controlled- Con
grs during a Republican admin
istration. He fought to unite the
democrats in Congress and to
-get congressional approval of
what he regards as a "moderate"
legislative program.
The Young Democratic Clubs
of America, meanwhile, an
nounced that Harriman and Gov.
G. Mennen Williams of Michigan
will be principal speakers at its
Qeonvention this year.
Neal Smith, president, said
Stevenson and Kefauver also
were invited to speak but were
unable to fit it into their sched
ules. '
He said Stevenson may be
able to make an appearance dur
ing the convention, which will
take place Nov. 30 through Dec.
3 at Oklahoma City, Okla.

Hollywood (U.R) A slim,!

today he's behaving like "a
lamb" on his

first in four
years be
cause his new
bosses are nice
to him.
After false
starts on TV
and in Las
Vegas,1 Lanza
sings again
at last.
This trip the handsome tenor
is performing, without laryugitis
or stage fright, in a drama-with-music
at Warner Studio, "Sere
nade." ' "
"I'm here and I'm happy," an
nounced the singer as he sat in
his dressing room on the set.
"I'm so happy to be back at
work. Nobody is going to stand
in my way again.
'It's Been Marvelous'
"They treat you at this studio
like they tell you they will. They
say, 'What would you like?' It's
been marvelous. Not one word
has not been lived up to.
"The voice is the voice," he
continued, in his custom of re
ferring in his vocal chords as a
separate commodity. "It has to unhealthy.'

I become a lamb.
Boss Jack Warner wisely gave
red carpets to Lanza the way the
studio did Judy Garland during
the long haul on "A Star Is
Born." Lanza rode grandly in a
private car on a train to the
movie location in San Miguel,
Mex. When the train returned to
Los Angeles, a studio limousine
was waiting right on the tracks
to whisk Lanza home.
The studio also presented him
a new dressing room that is the
most supercolossal in Holly
wood.
Proud of Room
"They're so considerate, so
kind!" cried Lanza as he proud
ly showed off a refrigerator,
bathroom, radio, ay-conditioner
and phonograph. On the door is
a handsomely-lettered sign, "The
Tiger."
Lanza hasn't been seen - on
celluloid since "Because You're
Mine" in 1952. The following
year he started "The Student
Prince" but exited MGM in fa
flurry of arguments and law '
suits.
"I don't tell the story of my
past. No star has a right to wash
his dirty linen in public," he
concluded. "Francis X. Bushman
