SENTIMENTAL VISIT On Monday, January 13, as he entered the final week of his residence in the White House, President Johnson made what was described as a sentimental visit to the AFL-CIO building just across Lafayette Square from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He did not go empty-handed. He carried with him a polished plaque on which were mounted 100 pens which he had used in signing as many Great Society bills. ‘I know of no living single group,’ said the President, ‘that I think has been more responsible for the advances that have been made in this field in the last five years than the AFL-CIO headed by George Meany...’ That in itself is a very interesting observation, since it is not a matter of record that any members of the Congress presented themselves to the voters as Labor Party repre- sevtatives, or candidates of the AFL-CIO. But even more interesting was President Johnson’s obser- vation that he and George Meany, head of AFL-CIO, had met a total of 49 times over the past 62 months, either in the President’s office or the family living quarters, and that they had further had telephone conversations an additional 82 times. And some of those telephone conversations were, in the Pres ident's werds, ‘rather extended.’ One wonders how many Cabinet Officers had as many as 131 initimate discussions with the President in the course of 62 months. Granted, the Presidency of the United States is the lone liest job in the world, and the Chief Executive has every right to choose his friends and advisers. Still, he is the President of all the people, and there must be some businessmen and farm- ers--the head of the U. S.ChamberofCommerce, or the Nation al Association of Manufacturers, or the President of the Ameri can Farm Bureau Federation—who will notice in passing how their opinions were heard on the affairs of state somewhat less that 131 times in 62 months. Informed estimates have been made that organized labor spent as much as $60 million in the campaign last fall to elect Hubert H. Humphrey. Lyndon Johnson has told us why. And, The Dog Heard . . . God summoned a beast from the field and He said, ‘‘Behold man, created in my image. Therefore adore him. You shall protect him in the wilderness, shepherd his flocks, watch over his children, accompany him wherever he may go -- even into civilization. You shall be his companion, his ally, his slave. ‘‘To do these things,” God said, ‘‘I endow you with these instincts uncommon to other beasts: Faithfulness, devotion and understanding surpassing those of man himself. Lest it impair your courage, you shall never forsee your death. Lest it impair your loyalty, you shall be blind to the faults of man. Lest it impair your understanding, you are denied the power of words. Let no fault of language cleave an accord beyond that of man with any other beast -- or even man with man. Speak to your master only with your mind and through your honest eyes. ‘‘Walk by his side; sleep in his doorway; forage for him; ward off his enemies; carry his burden; share his afflictions; love him and comfort him. And in return for this, man will fulfill your needs and wants — which shall be only food, shelter and affection. ‘‘So be silent, ?nd be a friend to man. Guide him through the perils along the way to this land that 1 have promised OBITUARIES MINNIE SALOMON Services for Mrs. Minnie Sal omon were conducted Friday morning, Jan. 24, 1969 at Alsip chapel in Nampa.
