Interesting Off-Year Elections Intrigue Shapi
.ngU
By The Associated Press
American voters are only par-
tially through the preliminary
picking of candidates to run in
the fall election but already sev-
eral stars of major magnitude
have fallen from the political
firmament. Among them:
-Venerable Howard W. Smith
of Virginia, a Democrat, master
of conservative strategy in the
House, chairman of the Rules
Committee which cart speed or
slow-and sometimes block-legis-
lation for consideration of the
House.
-Sen. A. Willis Robertson,
Democrat, also from Virginia, who
presided over the Banking and
Currency Committee, arbiter of
laws for banking and much other
business.
-Gov. Robert E. Smylie of
Idaho, a leader in the moderate
wing of the Republican party and
senior in service among all the
governors.
-Democratic Gov. H a y d o n
Burns of Florida who had appear-
ed well-entrenched in that land
of citrus, sunlit beaches and bur-
geoning industry.
-Sen. Ross Bass of Tennessee
who for 12 years-10 in the House
and two in the Senate-had been
a moderate-liberal Southern Dem-
ocratic voice in Congress and was
a supporter of what President
Johnson calls his "Great Society"
program.
To these casualties of primaries
can be added illustrious names of
some departing the political scene
voluntarily.
There is William W. Scranton,
often mentioned in the past as a
possible Republican nominee for
President. Now winding up a term
as governor of Pennsylvania, he
has declared he will never be a
candidate again for any elective
office.
Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, in the
Senate since 1944, decided that at
the age of 74 it was time for him
to leave and he would not run for
re-election. He is the top Repub-
lican on the Armed Services Com-
mittee and a respected counselor
in national security affairs.
Stepping aside for the time be-
ing too is Gov. Orval Faubus (D-
Arkansas), a strident voice in the
clamor in the South over first
efforts at racial integration of
schools.
Yet in the political kaleidoscope
no image fades without another
another appearing,
Ronald Reagan, the former mo-
tion picture star, came roaring out
of the California Republican pri-
mary with the nomination for
governor and sent GOP hopes
soaring for victory over Demo-
cratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown in
the fall.
G. Mennen Williams won the
Senate Democratic nomination in
Michigan impressively. As a 12-
year former governor, he is no new
face in politics but he has been
away from the election wars for
six years as an assistant secretary
of state.
Edward W. Brooke, personable
Negro state attorney general, was,
tapped by Massachusetts Repub-
licans as their candidate for the
Senate seat Saltonstall is giving
up. If elected, Brooke would be
the first Negro in the Senate in
this century.
What conclusions, or portents
for the elections, can be drawn
from the primaries to date?
Drawing general conclusions'
from primary results is a hazard-
ous, ill-advised pastime. Many dif-
ferent factors, often of local im-
portance only, usually are in-
volved. Yet some observations in
general seem to stand out.
" Nobody has successfully made
political capital out of the Viet
Nam war. The American people
are unhappy about it, but find no
great political attraction in the
criticisms some primary candi-
dates have made of President
Johnson's policies.

For Methods Which
Improve Flexibility
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (P) - President
Johnson said yesterday the 3.2
per cent wage guidelines "still
represent to us the best measur-
ing stick we have" to keep infla-
tion in check, but "we are con-
stantly looking for something
better."
Questions about the guidelines,
already buffeted and battered in
some wage agreements, took up a
good part of Johnson's news con-
ference yesterday.
"We are going to do everything
within the power of the leadership
n the government to ask labor
o stay within the guidelines and
their productivity increases so we
will not have to raise prices be-
cause of increased labor costs,"
Johnson said.
But the President, in effect,
conceded that no effort will be
made in every situation to keep
annual wage increases at 3.2 per
cent.
He said the guidelines must
have flexibility in cases of indus-
tries who have not had increases
"and things of that nature." But
as of this moment, he added, they
represent the best measuring stick
available.
Discussing another economic
problem in response to questioning
at the news conference, the Presi-
dent said he is still not buying the
bill pending in Congress to inject
an element of compulsion from
both Capitol Hill and the White
House into efforts to settle the
airline deadlock. Asked whether
he wanted Congress to pass the
measure, Johnson wound up by
saying: "We did not recommend
legislation. It is a matter for them
to decide."
Once there has been a decision,
the President said, "We are hope-
ful we can negotiate an agreement
between the workers and those
five arlines."
Reactions to Johnson's com-
ments on wage guidelines came
quickly from House Republican
Leader Gerald R. Ford of Mich-
Jgan.
Johnson described the guidelines
as not perfect, saying they have
been exceeded in some cases while
other wage hikes were below 3.2
per cent.

TOKYO (Y)-Former U.S. Am-
bassador Edwin 0. Reischauer said
yesterday the United States must
find a better way to handle the
Vietnamese problem, based on
local nationalism and "very much
b r o a d e r international support
than we are able to muster today."
(In Washington yesterday Pres-
ident Johnson told a news confer-
ence "I don't see any change for
the worse at all" in Viet Nam.)
Reischauer said in an interview
with the Associated Press that
though he supports and will con-
tinue to support U.S. policy in Viet
Nam, the situation there is "not
a satisfactory one."
Reischauer has resigned from
his post here to return to teaching
history at Harvard University.
I The root of America's difficul-
ties in Viet Nam go back to what
he called "its grave mistake" in
helping French colonialism return
there in 1945. Although he ac-
knowledged that the clock cannot
be turned back, he said: "Let us
at least beware of the future."
He said it did not help the
French to return to Indochina nor
the Dutch to Indonesia.
He said that in his five years
as envoy to Tokyo he has "care-
fully avoided ever saying anything
I did not myself believe." He add-
ed that besides Viet Nam he was
able to support America's Japan
policy, which he described as "100
per cent right."

-He did not foresee a crisis
similar to that of 1960 when the

feel that long before 1970 the
Japanese public will have accept-
ed as common sense the security
relationship w i t h the United
States, just as other major coun-
tries do."
--It was a natural desire for
Japan and the Okinawans to be
rejoined and that the United
States has said as soon as the
Communist menace in the Pacific
is alleviated this will be done.
--If Japan went Communist,
this would constitute "a menace
to world peace." This is Com-
munist China's most important
single objective. However, the
Japanese themselves recognize
that this would be "suicidal" and
the prospect "is becoming more
and more remote."
--Japan is a deeply divided
country politically, but yet an ex-
traordinary stable one, without
sudden political unheavals. "The
confrontation between the left and
the right is a lessening thing."
-There has been "a great shift
in fundamental Japanese think-
ing" since 1941 marked by "com-
plete conviction that a peaceful
world is what they want and that
they do not wish to be involved
in empire or wars of conquest."

At a news conference, Mayor

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia W) -
Yugoslavs opposed to President
Tito's one-party government press-
ed ahead yesterday with plans to
found a magazine to reflect their
antigovernment views. They acted
despite the arrest of their leader,
Mihajlo Mahajlov.
Marijan Batinic and Daniel
Ivin were elected to the organiz-
ing committee for the meeting to
be held at Zadar on the Adriatic
coast.
Mihajlov, a former university
professor who has been conduct-
ing a growing campaign against
the "totalitarian power" of the
Yugoslav Communist party, was
to have presided at the Zadar
meeting.
He summoned friends and sup-
porters to help him found a mag-
azine he hoped would lead to a
new non-Communist party.
But he was clapped into prison
Monday for three days of investi-
gation. Officials said the arrest
was to prevent him from spread-
ing false reports, and to guaran-
tee his personal safety during the
scheduled period of the Zadar
meeting.
Notices issued by the Zadar
Communist party mass organiza-
tion called for a meeting to dis-
cuss the Mihajlov situation.
At Mihajlov's home in Zadar,
when Ivin and Batanic are stay-
ing, Ivin said threats against their
personal safety would not stop
them.
He said the first day would be

This was one of three sweeps by

were out in force in areas where
the Viet Cong and the North Viet-

Far to the north, U.S. Marines
hunted about 150 North Vietna-
