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
