Tillamook flJPU The 1960 convention of the Oregon As sociation of City Police Offi cers is scheduled here May 8-10. By A. AOSCftT SMITH Washington (Special) - The "western" presidential candi date with the southern drawl, Sen. Lyndon B. Joh n s o n, hat now be gun to make hit move along prede t e r m i n e d course he hopes will gain him the D e m 0 c ratic nomin itlon Presidency in No- A. BubL Smith aiid the vcmber. Johnson has not said and will not say that he is a presi dential contender. But in pri vate huddles the Senate's ma jority leader has mapped his strategy for capturing the prize that so . many seek in 1960. Johnson Is what might be called the commuting candi date. Unlike his four senator ial colleagues who have an nounced and are now running hard - Kennedy, Humphrey, Morse and Symington-Johnson feels obliged to stay in Washington and run the Sen ate during its weekday ses sions. But on week ends, the Texan will cl mb into his chartered airplane and fly to distant states-most of them in the West-to expose him self to convention delegates and turn on his message and his most gracious image in hopes of widening his base of support. Well Satisfied Just back from the first of these western trips, Johnson and his aides are well satis fied with the results. The sen ator didn't ask anyone right out to support him, but his aides claim many converts were made in the high places mmm Select One of These Mothers Day SPECIALS of Rocky Mountain Democra tic ranks. At Cheyenne, double the expected number of party faithful turned out to sup with Lyndon and then explode into applause 23 times (aides al ways count the number of handclapping interruptions as though they were blocks of goid bullion). In Salt Lake City and Las Vegas the big man went over well, usually at his best when he discarded the prepared speeches written for him, and branched out in the old-fashioned windmill oratory that, any Texas politician must master before reaching Wash ington, DC. A western headquarters Is soon to be established at Los Angeles under the direction of a former attorney general of Texas, John Ben Shepperd, who is on leave from an Odessa oil company for this important mission. Within coming weeks, Johnson tenta tively plans further week end forays into Washington state. Idaho, possibly Oregon, and some of the north central and eastern states. Going into the convention, Johnson expects to have the solid south's bloc of 360 dele gates, with probable backing in border states of Oklahoma, Kentucky and Tennessee. His hope is to enter the contest with a first ballot strength of between 400 and 500 dele gates, out of the 761 required for the nomination. What Johnson is seeking to achieve in the weeks that re main before the convention opens on July 11 is to attract a flock of other delegates to his brand of leadership, not necessarily for first ballot backing, but for the more im portant and decisive ballots to follow when the also-rans fall by the wayside. The Johnson forces no long er fear Sen. Stuart Syming ton as a possible compromise candidate in a Kennedy-Johnson standoff. They clam Sym ington is not going over well with party officials and grass roots Democrats, chiefly be cause they doubt he could conduct a vigorous campaign against the Republicans in the j fall. Critical Test Seen j What the Johnson strate gists believe will be the crit-j ical test will come when Kenl nedy falls snort and begins j to lose dclegates-as they are supremely confident will hap pen. They think Kennedy may attempt to swing his delegates at that moment to Adlai Stevenson. They are counting then on Senator Johnson's savy as a backstage negotia tor, learned through long years in climbing the polit ical ladder, to head off any stampede to Stevenson by the big blocs of delegates. They hope to get Kennedy as LBJ's running mate. Time Short Johnson's practical problem is that time is short. He can not take the risk of leaving the helm at the Senate unat tended to go campaigning for weeks on end as do Kennedy and Humphrey, and he must put through a Democratic legislative program - within the limits imposed by Presi dent' TtJtnhwei'r veto pow' cause of the traveling; Dene-1 JK-IT ft gar i joins do cfaHc UJirntj, and if Jobs have amnethin tangible on son himsrl tier to launch which to run.
