Johnson Receives
Pledge of Support
From Texas Solons
WASHINGTON (UPD-Presi-dent
Johnson, heretofore a fierce
fighter in factional Democratic
politics in Texas, received a
pledge of support Saturday from
all members of his party's Lone
Star congressional delegation.
Sen. Ralph Yarborough per
sonally pledged to Johnson "my
support w Texas and the Na
tion." The two have feuded
over patronage and party policy
since Johnson left his Senate
leadership post for the Vice
Presidency.
Yarborough belongs to the lib
eral wing of the party in Texas.
Johnson has always been asso
ciated with the moderate-conservative
faction.
The Senator sent this telegram
to the new President Saturday:
"Under the great burdens and
duties you bear as leader of
America and the free world, I
pledge my support in Texas and
the Nation."
Actually, UPI learned, efforts
to heal breaches in Texas de
mocracy began after a testi
monial dinner for Rep. Albert
Thomas in Houston Thursday
night. Thomas took the lead in
these efforts.
President Kennedy was sched
uled to make a speech at a
political fund raising dinner at
Austin Friday night. Yarborough
had not been invited to speak
at the dinner. Also, he had not
been invited to attend a recep
tion for the President at Gov.
John Connally's executive man
sion.
Thomas, however, as inter
mediary between Connally and
Johnson on the one hand, and
Yarborough on the other, effect
ed a truce. Under Its terms,
Yarborough was given speaking
time at the Austin dinner. The
truce also included plans for
Yarborough to join Johnson in
the Vice President's .car n the
ill-fated motorcade ."in Dallas.
In Washington Saturday, mem
bers of the Texas Democratic
Delegation in Congress, met to
discuss their new status with a
Lone Star stater in the White
House. Their only announced ac
tion, however, was to send John
son this wire: "We extend to
you our co-operation and pray
ers." Yarborough also joined
in this telegram.
President Kennedy "spearhead
ed all the' liberal passions" dur
ing his time in the White House.
"I dare to say there was no
citizen he did not care about,"
Steinbeck told Polish journal
ists. "He was enormously popular
and that is why (the assassina
tion) doesn't make any sense,"
the bearded author said with
obvious feeling.
"Though not close, of course,
I knew him. He invited me to
the inauguration and to the
White House. He was the first
President in recent limes who
had a strong interest in writing,
thinking, in all the arts.
"He had a fantastic mind. He
could read a page like a photo
graph. He seemed to have read
everything," Steinbeck contin
ued. "In his house there was in
formality and graciousness and
I think you know his public
aspect so I won't comment on
that. It was a terrible job he
had, it was an awful job, it was
a killing job and on top of that
he had personal tragedy in his
family."
Steinbeck returned here Fri
day night from a week-long visit
to other Polish cities. He has
been meeting Polish writers and
intellectuals under the auspices
of the U. S. cultural program
and at the invitation of the Pol
ish Writers Union.
He leaves this week for Hungary.
Lawyer May Not
Defend Suspect
NEW YORK (UPI) - John
J. Abt, the attorney sought by
accused assassin Lee Harvey
Oswald as a defense lawyer,
said Saturday night, "I don't
see how it would be possible
to undertake a case of this mag
nitude." He spoke in an inter
view with the American Broad
casting System (ABC).
While not flatly refusing to
take the case, Abt noted that
"I have a vpry heavy litigation
schedule," and said that under
taking Oswald's defense "would
not be fair to my other clients."
"It would have to be a very
serious . decision," Abt told
ABC. .
Asked why he thought he had
been mentioned as a passible
defense counsel, Abt said, "I
have a reputation for represent
ing the underdog, particularly
unpopular political minorities."
- He told ABC that he had been
"listening like everyone else"
to the radio reports of the as
sassination, and had been
"shocked, disturbed and dis
heartened" by it.
