By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written. President
Lyndon B. Johnson has just de
livered to the Congress his in
augural address. In this re
stricted space, it is impossible
to touch upon mure than the
highlights of it.
He himself names these high
lights. In his address to the
Congress, he said:
"FIRST, no memorial oration
or eulogy could more eloquent
ly honor President Kennedy's
memory than the earliest pos
sible passage of the Civil Rights
Bill for which he fought. We
have talked long enough in this
country about equal rights. We
have talked for 100 years or
more. It is time NOW to write
the second chapter and to
write it in books of law.
"I urge you again, as I did
in 1957, and again in 1960, to
enact a Civil Rights law so
that we can move forward to
eliminate from this nation ev
ery trace of discrimination and
oppression based upon race or
color. There could be no great
er source of strength to this na
tion both at home and abroad."
The thing to remember is
this:
That statement, which con
tains no weasel words, is made
by a SOUTHERNER.
If a civil rights law is lo be
made to work as we want it
to work it must have the vol
untary backing of the South.
It can't be made to work by
bayonets alone.
He went on to sav:
"AND SECOND, no acl of
ours could more fittingly con
tinue the work of President
Kennedy than the EARLIEST
passage of the tax bill f o r
which he fought a bill designed
to increase our national income,
our federal revenues, and our
insurance against recession.
That bill, if passed without de
lay, means more security or
those now working and more
jrbs for those now without
them." '
He then added:
"In this new spirit of action,
the Congress can expect the
full cooperation and support .of
the executive branch. And, in
particular, I pledge that the ex
penditures of the government
will' be administered WITH
THE UTMOST THRIFT AND
FRUGALITY. I will INSIST
that the government get a dol
lar's value for a dollar spent.
"The government will set an
example of prudence and
ECONOMY."
So much for our new Presi
dent. I.et's take a look now at the
new President's wife.
What of Iter name Ladybird?
How did she get it?
It isn't an affectation. It is
what in her part of the country
is called a "pet" name. She is
called that because at the ae
of two a nursemaid said of Jier:
"She is as purl v as a lady
bird." The name has clung to her.
What sort of person is she.'
Well, they were married in
1934. Three years later, l.vn
don ran for Congress, and
was elected. It took some mon
ey to make the campaign. Thev
didn't have any or. at least,
they didn't have anywhere near
enough.
So
She borrowed $10,000 from
her father with which to linante
the campaign. The loan was

Wade said.
"Our law enforcement agen

termine if links exist between
Oswald and Ruby. As far as I
know, they haven't found any.
But I don't know everything
they've found."
Wade and defense counsel
Tom Howard squared off over
whether Ruby was insaae when
he shot Oswald as millions of
Americans watched on televis

Ruby was indicted on charges
of murder with malice Tuesday
by a Dallas County grand jury.
Wade said he would demand the
death penalty. He already has
had a psychiatrist examine the
former Chicago street brawler

He said he regarded Ruby's
trial as one of the most import

"Our whole judicial system

trial will determine whether
Dallas has a government based
on the orderly processes of law

individual can lake the law into

He said he had "full confi

Ruling Indicates Eventual
Elimination Of Firemen
WASHINGTON iL'PH The
ruling of the presklcntial arbi
tration board in the four-year-old
railroad dispute was viewed
today as a small but decisive
step toward elimination of fire
men from freight trains and
yard engines.
The board's major finding
was that 90 per cent of the fire
men's jobs on these diesels
could be abolished because oth
er crew members could do their
work.
But a detailed study of the
arbitration panel's 58-page opin
ion indicates that even though
the jobs are unnecessary it will
be many years before the men
who hold them can be removed
from the payroll.

President Also Appeals For Tax Cut
In Solemn, Emotional Policy Speech
By MKKM.MAN SMITH
I'I'I While House Reporter
WASHINGTON U'PH - In an
solemn call for action and help.
President Johnson asked Con
gress today to pass a civil
rights bill as a legislative me
morial to assassinated President
John F. Kennedy.
Speaking firmly but emotion
ally to a joint session of the
House and Senate, the new
President also appealed for
enactment of the $11 billion tax
cut bill which had been urged
by Kennedy.
In return, Johnson promised
to conduct the federal govern
ment with "utmost thrilt and
frugality." He closed his 24
minute address with an appeal
for all Americans to "put an
end lo the teaching and preach
ing of hate and evil and vio
lence" that cost Kennedy his
life.
This sentence drew the most
prolonged applause of the
speech from the legislators.
Cabinet members. Supreme
Court justices and spectators
who filled the House chamber
to hear the new President's first
major address.
At times, Johnson shak
ing lo his long-time congression
al colleagues became husky
voiced with emotion as he paid
tribute to his slain predecessor.
Asks for Aolion
But he was firm in asking
Congress to act.
The 55-year-old Texan who had
served Kennedy as vice presi
dent recalled Kennedy's chal
lenge of "but let us begin" from
the I1 Inaugural Address.
"Today in this moment of
new resolve," Johnson said, "I
would say to fellow Americans:
Let us continue."
Voices Sorrow
Standing before old colleagues
of the House and Senate, the
new President opened his first
address as Chief Executive by
expressing his sorrow over his
young predecessor's death.
"All I have 1 would have giv
en gladly' not lo be standing
here today. he said.
"The greatest leader of our
lime has been struck down by
the foulest deed of our lime."
Then he spoke of the
"dreams" of the slain President
conquering space, a strong al
liance of friendly nations, full
employment, a Peace Corps . . .
But, apparently lest there be
any doubt about his stand on
one of the key points of the
Kennedy program, the 55-year
old Texan put special empha
sis on civil rights.
". . . And '-jve nil the dream
of equal rights for all Ameri
cans, whatever their race or
color. . ."
Recalls Past Hill
Johnson pointedly recalled
I li.it as Senate Democratic
Leader he had urged passage of
a civil rights bill in 1'J."p7. While
he did not say so, Congress
went on lo enact the first ma
jor civil rights measure since
the Civil War.
The President also recalled
that again in 10 he called for
enactment of civil rights legis
lation. Now, he said, "no memorial
oration or eulogy could more

rights bill for which he fought.
"We have talked long enough
in this country about equal
rights. We have talked for 100
years or more. Yes, it is time
now to write tlie next chapter
and to write it in books of law."
He firmly told the assembled
senators and House members:
"I urge you again as I did in
1957 and again in I960 lo enact
a civil rights law so that we
can move forward to eliminate
from tiiis nation every trace of
discrimination and oppression
based upon race or color. There
could he no greater source of
strength to this nation at home
or abroad."
Johnson then urged quick con
gressional action on the $12 bil
lion tax reduction bill and pend
ing education bills. He called
for a "new spirit of action"
from Congress.
He promised that as far as
the executive branch was con
cerned "expenditures of the gov
ernment will be administered
with the utmost thrift and fru
gality." "1 will insist lliat the govern
ment get a dollar's value for a
dollar spent," he said. "The
government will set an example
of prudence and economy. This
does not mean we w ill not meet
our unfilled needs or that we
will not honor our commit
ments. We will do both."
Pledge lo Congress
In an unusual presidential
gesture and mindful of his own
background both in the House
and Senate, Johnson assured
Congress of his belief in the in
dependence and integrity of tlie
legislative branch.
"I promise you that I shall
always respect this," he said.
"It is deep in the marrow of
my bones. With equal firmness,
I believe in the capacity and
the ability of Congress, despite
the divisions of opinion which
characterize our nation, to act
to act wisely, vigorously and
I speedily when the need arises."
.,. Repeatedly the. . President
asked for congressional cooper
a ion and speed In passage of
basic legislation which Kennedy
had asked in his new frontier
program.
"This is no time for delay
it is a time for action, strong,
forward-looking action. . ." he
said.
Concluding his address, he
said, "The need is here. The
need is now. I ask your help."
In the wake of Kennedy's as
sassination last Friday, Jolinson
also look a strong stand against
political extremism, right or
left.
"The time has come for
Americans of all races and
creeds and political beliefs to
understand and respect one an
other," he said. "Iet us put an
end to the leaching and preach
ing of hale and evil and vio
lence. lxt us turn away from
Ihe fanatics of the far left and
I he far right, from the apostles
of bitterness and bigotry, from
those defiant of law, and those
who pour venom into our na
tion's bloodstream."
An Klnquent Climax
Then, in an eloquent climax
at the end of his speech, John
son quoted tlie lyrics from
"America Ihe Beautiful."
"On this Thanksgiving eve,"
he said, "as we gather together
M )
?VrV;'WM
(o ask tlie Lord's blessing, let
us unite in those familiar and
cherished words:
" 'America, America, God
shed His grace on thee,
" 'And crown thy good with
brotherhood from sea to shin
ing sea'."
Johnson's speech, which was
televised and broadcast to the
nation, may be one of the most
important he will make as President.
U.S. Vows
Cold War
Cooperation
WASHINGTON (UPD-Presi-
dent Johnson has sent word to
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev that the United
Stiites stands ready now, as in
the past, to mako every honor
able effort to solve East-West
problems which could spark nu
clear war.
At Ihe same, time, tlie new
President has made strenuous
efforts during tlie past two days
to convince Allied representa
tives that tliere will be 110 fal
tering in American leadership
of Ihe non-Communist world.
Administration officials sakt'
these two key elements could
be expected to emerge clearly
in the President s address today
to a joint session of Congress.
White House sources said
Johnson told Soviet Deputy Pre
mier Anastas I. Mikoyan dur
ing an hour long conference
Tuesday that the United States
was ready to "go its part of
the way" in the search for
measures to ease tension.
These sources emphasised,
however, that the new Presi
dent was not w illing to make'
any new offers or concessions
w ith might imperil the Western
position.
Any hint of this on Johnson's
part, it was pointed out, would
be political suicide at home in
addition to being disastrously
damaging to Allied morale in
Europe and elsewhere.
Jlikoyan, who remained here
after tlie funeral of President
Kennedy especially to sound out
the new Chief Executive, was
leaving today for Moscow to
carry J 0 h n s 0 n's views to
Khrushchev.
Johnson also conferred Tues
day with a number of major
Allied representatives and
slaked out for himself within
the next few months a full
schedule of personal diplomacy.
He obviously hopes this will
strengthen Western unity and
thwart any Soviet efforts to
take advantage of any uncer
tainty in the Western caftp
which may follow Kennedy's
death.
