Senate Voting
WASHINGTON How could
lyndon B. Johnson vote for the
federal Hells Canyon dam bill
but against the St. Lawrence
Seaway? For civil rights bills
but against a strong cloture rule
lo stop filibusters? For the
Bricker amendment to limit the
president's treaty-making power
but against curbs on his giving
aid to Yugoslavia?
While these past votes from
his Senate record are not really
contradictory, they reveal that
President Johnson is not a doc
trinaire man of either the right
or left. Judged by that voting
record, he is more conservative
than John F. Kennedy but more
liberal than Dwifiht D. Eisen
hower more nearly a middle-of-
the-roader than either of his two
predecessors.

He has shown liberal leanings
on such issues as public works
spending, aid to education, low
tariffs, civil rights, public wel
fare and farm price supports
and other agricultural issues.
He has revealed conservative
leanings on taxation and mat
ters involving government con
trols over private industry.
Mixed on Labor
His record is more mixed on
labor, housing and international
affairs.
He is outspokenly in' favor of
strong national defense meas
ures, including the American
effort in outer space which some
liberals have questioned.
As vice president, Johnson had
no voting record because he
merely presides over the Senate
without casting votes, except to
break a tie. So while this record
goes back 10 years to cover his
years of Senate leadership, it
cannol show whether Johnson
has changed on any of these is
sues in the past three years as
he served in the Kennedy admin
istration. Because he has traveled lo
virtually every part of Ihe world
as vice president, he is apt to be
more internationalist - minded
than when he was a Texas sen
ator who had to contend with
right wing neo-isolationists in
his constituency.
And because he was put in
charge of the administration's
effort to persuade business and
industry to eliminate segregated
hiring practices in order to im
prove Negro job opportunities,
he is likely to be more sensitive
than ever before to the need for
eliminating racial discrimina
tion through pending civil rights
legislation.
As president, however, John
son sooner or later will go on
the record, in his own words, on
what he wants to do, what he
wants Congress to do. But for
what help his past voles repre
sent as guideposts to the future
of Ihe Johnson administration,
here is how he stood on major
issues of the pasl decade:
Agriculture For high price
supports and against Benson's
flexible supports; againsl reduc
tions in conservation payments
to farmers and for increases in
RE A loan funds; for the two
price wheat plan (favored by
Northwest wheat growers) and
for the program of sending farm
surpluses to foreign countries
under public law 480.
Labor For the increase in
minimum wage to $1.25 and
against efforts to reduce the
bill's coveragt; against efforts to
tighten ban on secondary boy
cotts; against letting state
courts settle "no man's land"
labor disputes; for the Kennedy
bill requiring disclosure of un-
Record Shows Mixed Leanings
ion welfare and pension funds
and for the labor reforms leg
islation growing out of the Mc
Clcllan rackets investigation;
for requiring labor officials to
sign non - Communist affidavits;
against expanding unemploy
ment compensation.
Health and Welfare For ex
panding Social Security to cover
medical care for the aged; for
increasing public assistance; for
increasing Social Security bene
fits and lowering the age of elig
ibility for women and disabled
men.
Education In 1958 Johnson
voted against a bill providing
federal funds for public school
construction grants to the states
but in 1960 he voted for a pro
posed $1.1 billion aid program
for school buildings and teacher
salaries; for the National De
fense Education acl; for federal
loan funds for college students;
for federal scholarships; for vet
erans educational benefits; for
the proposed Youth Conservation
Corps; against loans lo private
or parocial elementary and sec
ondary schools.
Housing In 1957 he opposed
increasing public housing but in
1960 favored more public hous
ing; in 1959 opposed boosting ur
ban renewal funds.
Public Works For Hells Can
yon dam and the upper Colorado
storage project; for grants to
local communities for such facil
itics as sewage plants; for in
creased aid to airports; for the
TVA plan for issuing bonds to
finance new power facilities; for
the area redevelopment pro
gram (over Eisenhower's veto);
against St. Lawrence Seaway.
Civil Rights Johnson pilot
ed through the Senate the civil
rights bills of 1957 and 1960, but
in both cases by making con
cessions lo Southern opponents
which eliminated some of the
toughest provisions favored by
liberals, such as "title 3" which
gave the Justice Department
authority to sue for preventive
relief in behalf of any individual
whose rights were threatened or
violated; against giving 18-year-olds
the vote; against allowing
a majority vote to stop a Sen
ate filibuster but favored a
slight change in the rules to per
mit two-thirds of senators pres
ent and voting to stop a filibus
ter; for home rule in Washing
ton, D.C.; for Alaskan and Ha
waiian statehood.
Taxes Opposed all efforts to
reduce the oil depletion allow
ance; favored continued excise
tax on autos; opposed increase
in gas tax; opposed attempt to
curtail expense account deduc
tions in 1959; against a $6 billion
tax cut in 1958 urged by liber
als; opposed measures to end
passenger and freight transpor
tation taxes; in 1954 tax cut
bill he favored boosting individ
ual exemptions.
Federal Controls Against the
Neuberger billboard control law
in 1958; favored the tidelands
oil bill providing for state con
trol over off-shore oil resources;
favored natural gas bill exempt
ing independent natural gas pro
ducers from federal utility con
trol over rates.
Foreign Affairs For recipro
cal trade extension and against
repeal of peril point section to
protect injured domestic indus
try; for Bricker amendment (in
1954); for the Formosa resolu
tion; for SEATO treaty; for aid
to Communist satellites as well
as other forms of foreign aid;
for authorizing President Eisen
hower to use force in the Middle
Easl to combat aggression if
necessary.
Johnson voted for the ambas
sadorial nominations of Clare
Booth Luce and Charles Bohlen,
but opposed the nomination of
Lewis Strauss as secretary of
Commerce. He joined senators
who voted to censure the late
Sen. Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin.
