Congress Adjournment Gives
Johnson Convention Weapon
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington - The Johnson
Rayburn decision to recess
Congress until after the presi-
Fj" "i nating ton
4 -1 ?L vpnlinns are
over has all
the earmarks
of a move de
signed to giv
the Texas sea
ator the lever
age he badly
needs if he
to stop Sen
a. Bom. snutb John F. Ken
nedy from getting the top
spot on the Democratic ticket.
As is now stands, a week
before the convention at Los
Angeles, Kennedy Is given a
' strong lead over Sen. Lyndon
B. Johnson in delegates votes,
The other contenders are back
with the favorite sons in hold
lng only a relatively small
number of delegate votes.
Johnson's momentary prob
lem is how to stop Kennedy
from running away with the
big prize before the first bal
lot has gotten all the way
down the roll call to Wy
oming. Even If he can stop
Kennedy's bandwagon, John
son may not be able to secure
the nomination itself - but
first things first.
Not Counted Out
While there is a tendency
here to discount Johnson's
chances, no one who know
him and his powers of back-
stage manipulation counts him
out. The fact that Congress
will return to work after the
convention will enhance John
son's power and strengthen
the best, hand he has at the
convention.
Johnson's trump Is not his
record of serving as the Sen
ate majority leader the past
five years, even though it is
a commendable record in
some important respects. His
trump at the convention will
be that whatever happens,
Johnson is going to be a man
everyone in the Democratic
party is going to have to con
tend with after the convention
and the election are over.
When it is all over, Johnson
will either be President (or
vice president) or the leader
of the Senate once more.
This consideration will be
brought into sharper focus at
the convention because John
son's power to make or break
legislation will doubtless be
impressed heavily upon the
wavering delegates by his
backers. For what Congress
Is setting aside until after the
convention is a slate of legis
lative Dusiness ujui win acch
virtually every pressure group
in the country on tenter
hooks. The labor leaders who
might otherwise give the
moderate Texan the back of
their hand at a presidential
convention will have to walk
more carefully now because
they badly want enactment oi
the new higher minimum
wage law which Johnson and
Speaker Sam Rayburn can get
passed or killed in the August
session after the convention.
The same holds for medical
care to the aged, housing, sug
ar, school construction, high
way building,, foreign tax
credits and self - employed
pension allowances.
To the multiple pressure
groups in this country, wheth
er they be contractors, retired
persons, bankers, doctors,
manufacturers or educators,
Johnson will have a powerful
appeal if they visualize him as
the man who can sink or save
their pet cause. They can put
pressure on delegates, and
delegates can often be swayed
by such considerations.
To suppose that Johnson
would not use this sort of raw
political power is to under
estimate his driving ambition
to be the No. I man in this
country, indeed in all the
world. A lobbyist for a na
tional organization tells
story which illustrates how
Johnson can operate in this
manner.
The Senate foreign relations
committee last winter was
taking up a bill to repeal the
1946 Connally amendment to
the World Court resolution.
The Connally amend ment
States that the World Court
shall not have jurisdiction in
"matters which are essential
ly within the domestic juris
diction, of. the United States
as determined by the United
States."
Under pressure from Texas
to have the amendment spon
sored by his former colleague
from Texas, Tom Connally,
Johnson is reported to have

advised leaders of the Ameri
can Bar association that they
would be well advised not to
testify in behalf of repealing
it - if they wanted the Senate
to act on a bill that lawyers
were pushing to permit self
employed persons credits for
retirement purposes, In any
event, the Connally repealer
never got out of committee
and the self-employed pension
bill is awaiting Senate action
when Congress returns.
Limited To Senate
Johnson's recognized effec
tiveness in this sort of wheel-and-deal
situation has to date
been limited to the Senate,
where he knows the strength
and weakness of every senator
he has to contend with. John
son is less effective outside of
Washington, where he does
not feel at home in a sea of
strange faces.
The Los Angeles convention
will be a mixture of these conditions-many
familiar figures
with whom Johnson knows
how to joust, but many un
familiar delegates who havu
nothing to lose or gain person
ally no matter what power
play Johnson is working from
a hotel room.
The hard test of this Texas
tactician is at hand.
