This time it's President Lyndon B. Johnson get- ting it. In the past 15 years the other Presidents got it, too, each in turn. House Republicans just chang- ed the script around this week when they issued a 33-page "white paper" criticizing the han- dling of Viet Nam by Johnson Loads and the late President John Kennedy. Campaign Arsenal F. No doubt this, and whatever else they can put together, will serve the outnumbered House Republi- cans as a campaign document in the 1966 congressional election. They've been looking for issues and they'll need them. Verbal Arsenal In presidential election years the convention orators and the main candidates can do all the at- tacking necessary.

Truman. It cited the loss of China, the Communist attack on Korea, and Truman's about-face on Formosa as policy failures. The Republi- cans lost the election. After Ike The Democratic Advisory Coun- cil in 1958 took out after former' President Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration with a statement charging it with "six years of leaderless vacillation" in foreign affairs. This was within less than a month of the congressional elec- tion, which the Democrats won. With the exception of 1952 - when Eisenhower carried his party to victory-Democrats have won every congressional election since 1950. Score JFK Just as with Truman, but not as intensely, the Republicans climbed on Kennedy's back. And in the 1962 congressional election year the GOP National Commit- tee fired at him from its publica- tion, "Battle Line." He was charged with being "less than candid" about Ameri- can involvement in Viet Nam., Kennedy replied he was as "frank" as possible, consistent with na- tional security. As usual, the Re- publicans lost. Now this latest Republican doc- ument, besides broad swipes at Kennedy, accuses JQhnson, as it accused Kennedy three years ago, of a "lack of candor" on Viet Nam. If this seems a coincidence, there was a greater one. Two, in fact. Same Time In the very week the Republi- cans chose to put out their "white paper" on Johnson, he chose to put out a 27-page document aim- ed at justifying his handling of Viet Nam. Perhaps it wasn't such a coincidence. What the Republicans had planned had been known for days. Johnson got out his explana- tion ahead of them. And the main point he sought to make was this: That American policy on Viet Nam has been consistent for years. And no wonder.. 'Inconsistent' The Republicans accused the Johnson-Kennedy administrations of inconsistency. Johnson cited statements by Eisenhower, Ken- nedy and himself, all promising to help Viet Nam against commu- nism. But, almost as if someone had tipped him the Republicans were going to charge him with lacking candor, Johnson in his preface to the.27 pages declared he was very candid: "It is essential that our peo- ple seek understanding and that our leaders speak with candor." Then, to prove his candor, he said what followed was a "clear definition of America's role in Viet Nam." Few Readers It's doubtful many people will read either Johnson's document or the Republicans'. The Republicans firmly say they back Johnson's policy in Viet Nam. But then they complain - and even give the impression of being puzzled-that, while Johnson and Kennedy sent combat troops into Viet Nam, Eisenhower never did. But the answer is simple enough. All three Presidents felt a South Viet Nam free of Communist con- quest was essential to American interests. But the Communists didn't begin their war until near the end of Eisenhower's presiden- cy. So during his administration there wasn't much need to send Americans into action. The Com- munists didn't start to overrun South Viet Nam until Kennedy was in the White House. p 4 4k., CHART SHOWS ONE OF MAJOR PROVISIONS in higher education bill-a great increase in student assistance through grants, loans and scholarships.

It passed a $637-million bill designed to improve academic quality and make higher educa- tion more readily available to low- and middle-income families. The bill, which' carries out the recommendations of President Lyndon B. Johnson, now goes to the Senate, where an even broad- er measure is being studied by an education subcommittee. Statistical House debate was studied with statistics showing the rapid rise in college enrollment, and the mushrooming of colleges and uni- versities since the war, and the problems such expansion has caused. "Inadequate library resources, a lack of qualified teachers, packed classrooms and insufficient schol- arship funds characterize many of the nation's colleges and uni- versities," according to Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY), chair- man of the Education and Labor Committee. Content of Bill The bill is designed to help in all those areas. It would author- ize: -$290 million to double the present authorization for con- struction of college academic fa- cilities under a 1963 act; -$197 million for three types of Immigration Changes Clear, Senate Subcommittee, 6"!2 WASHINGTON (R) - The ad- ministration's bill to abolish im- migration quotas based on na- tional origin cleared a high hur- dle yesterday with approval by a Senate judiciary subcommittee on a 6-2 vote.

The ceiling on immigration from Canada, Mexico and all oth- er Western Hemisphere nations will be 120,000 a year, exclusive of the spouse and minor children of U.S. citizens. Rest of World For the rest of the world, the annual ceiling will be 170,000 as in the House-passed bill. The key feature is elimination' over the next three years of the national origin quota system of immigration, under which coun- try by country quotas were allot- ted on the basis of the ethnic makeup of the U.S. populationin 1920. House Passed It The House adopted its immi- gration measure by a 318-95 vote Wednesday night after beating back a Republican-led attempt to limit Immigration from the Western Hemisphere. House Republicans had sought to hold immigration from North and South America to 115,000 each year. However, the Demo- crats mustered enough last-min- ute support to defeat that restric- tion by a 218-189 roll call vote. Present laws permit about 300,- 000 annual immigrants to enter this country. This level would be raised by nearly 50,000 in both House and Senate bills. offered by Rep. Joe D. Waggonner, Jr. (D-La), saying his long fight to keep federal funds from segre- gated schools and colleges is not aimed at private clubs or insti- tutions. Most of the controversy in the bill surrounded the proposal for scholarships, which the bill calls "educational opportunity grants," for needy students. They .could not exceed $800 a year and are designed to be used in conjunction with a loan to per- mit a student to enter college who would otherwise be unable to at- tend. The bill would increase the pres- ent National Defense Education Act loan fund by 25 per cent and authorize the colleges to use 22 per cent of their allotments for the scholarships. An estimated 130,000 students Would receive the grants. 4l . :;" ;;< ::;: f<:
