MliUKOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MKUKUKU. OKKUUN WLDNfcSUAY, Uttt.MUliK II, 1963 Republicans Expected To Resume Administration Opposition in January By LVLE C. WILSON United Press International A decent interval will have passed by the time Congress reconvenes in January and Re publicans will be able to re sume speaking frankly their opposition to the Kennedy-Johnson program. The Republicans are handi capped just now by a whimsi cal fraud variously known as a political truce or a political moratorium. This is a period of grace and seemly conduct most often in effect after some trag edy of national proportions such as the assassination of a president. In the shocked after math of such an event, the loy al opposition usually hastens to announce that for the time be ing it will forego petty politics and nasty cracks about the late leader. If the opposition is caught with a big political clambake scheduled, it is tra ditional to postpone or to can- Is 220 NORTH BARTLETT Use Our Convenient Parking lot-Slay As Long As You like Open 9:30 to 5:30 Daily Except By Appointment Good Taste is always in style.

J .1? , eel it as the Republicans cancelled a midwestern meet ing at which was to be launched the campaign to re tire the Kennedys (all three of them) from public life. An Absolute Phony Such are the outward mani festations of a political truce in the train of national tragedy. It is of no consequence that such a political truce is an absolute phony. The facts, of course, are that the loys! opposition calls the truce against itself. This is done, not so much in re spect to the late leader as in the certainty that outrageously Concerts Slated In Shopping Center The pre - Christmas shopping season in the Medford Shopping Center will be marked by spe cial entertainment in the mall, merchants of the area havb an nounced. The Medford High School Madrigal Choir, under the direc tion of Lynn Sjolund, will pre sent a concert at 7:15 p.m. Fri day, Dec. 13. The program will be carried by loud speaker throughout the shopping area. On the following Friday, Dec. 20, the Salvation Army chil dren's choir will present a cotv cert of Christmas songs and the same methods will be used to carry the program to the shop ping public. Each program is scheduled to continue for about one hour.

The thieves pried open the back door on the junior high and removed a window screen from the elementary school to enter, deputies said. noisy political activity at a time of national grief would of fend a great many citizens and, thereby, cost the political activ ists a lot of votes next timei around. You might say that there is a generous helping of self service in any political truce called against itself by the loyal opposition. But this does not orevent the loyal opposition from becoming restive as the truce is pro longed and the party in powe happily ignores it. Not only j does the party in power ignore the truce, but it does so in con fidence that no citizens will be' offended nor votes lost in the process. This enrages the loyal opposition which can only pout or mutter to itself that the time of the loyal opposition will come, one day, and when it does the dadburned administra tion and its politicking presi dent had better not forget to duck. GOP Holding Off And so it is with the Repub licans just now and with Pres ident Johnson. Politics as usual is not for the Republicans dur ing this period of mourning for j John F. Kennedy. The citizens would resent it and that is that. But no such hazard frustrates the political activity of JFK's successor, nor should it. A president who undertook to ob serve a political truce would be abdicating his responsibilities as chief executive. The presi dential job is politics and if there is no politicking the job is not being done. So It is that President John son has been the busiest man in Washington in the past two weeks politicking with labor leaders, Negro spokesmen, con gressional leaders and such. Some Republicans are becom ing unhappy as Johnson's ac tivity is publicized and their own activity is submerged. They know better, however, than to break the truce. So they await during the decent interval, honing their weapons the while for blood-letting when the second session convenes in January. L tj .L . , , ; .; J J A L r L I.
