Johnson warned his cab- inet yesterday the administration cannot afford to take the heavy Democratic majority in Congress for granted in pushing for enact- ment of its programs. Johnson's comment was report- ed by his special congressional liaison assistant, Lawrence F. O'- Brien. "In our view the climate is good" in Congress for passage of John- son's program, O'Brien told a group of labor leaders. "But we cannot take these things for granted." Conference - O'Brien, speaking to a legisla- tive conference of the AFL-CIO, said Johnson's word of caution was given at a cabinet meeting yester- day. O'Brien noted the recent 224- 201 vote to liberalize the House rules and said it would have fail- ed without the help of 16 Repub- licans. "I think that is a storm signal to us," O'Brien said. r on Poverty' President To Outline New Legislation Proposed Programs To Cost $1.5 Billion During First Year By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-President Lyn- don B. Johnson will begin a rap- id-fire series of requests to Con- gress today with a message ex- pected to chart education's role in the "war" he has declared on poverty. In his State of the Union mes- N sage last week, the President said he would propose new programs of sserted aid to education costing $1.5 bil- r some lion the first year, and continu- party's ing from pre-school to college. GOP To Establish New U nt WASHINGTON (A') - Creation of a GOP braintrust including the five living winners of the Re- publican presidential nomination was proposed yesterday at a meet- ing of the party's congressional leaders. The new group, formally tagged the Republican Coordinating Com- mittee, would include various ele- ments in the party and would be headed by Republican National Chairman Dean Burch "or who- ever may occupy his office in the future." In addition to GOP presidential nominees, the committee would in- clude the 11 Senate and House leaders, and five representatives of the Republican Governors As- sociation. He said the National Commit- tee, governors, House members, former GOP officials and academ- ic consultants, would be the sourc- es of task force personnel. NEW YORK (AP)-More than 1001 ships lay idle in ports from Maine to Texas yesterday, marooned by a vexing $20 million-a-day strike of 60,000 East and Gulf Coast longshoremen. In a rare display of unity, the AFL - CIO International Long- shoremen's Association joined with ship owners and the federal gov- ernment in an effort to get the dockers back to work. But the possibility of a long strike was expressed, and railroads embargoed shipments to struck ports for fear of a tieup of freight cars. Second in Three The walkout, second in three months, began midnight Sunday after rebellious New York long- shoremen rejected a contract which one of their leaders called "the best contract in the 72-year history of the union." ILA President Thomas Gleason FROM MAINE TO TEXAS: Lo0ngshoreman Strike; 100 Ships Idled The chief issue apparently, as it has been for more than five days, was automation on the docks. The proposed contract, agreed to by ILA leaders but re- pudiated by the rank and file, would have allowed a reduction in union work gangs over a three- year period from their present size of 20 men to 17. Fully Offset Although the reduction was ex- pected to be fully offset by at- trition-deaths and retirement of longshoremen-the rank and file dockers apparently remained con- vinced that the automation provi- sion represented a threat to their jobs. Asst. Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds, after an overnight briefing of Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, returned from Washington to take part in the ILA strategy meeting. He had warned the strikeds they can ex- pect no further contract conces- sions from shipping firms. He said: "The bargaining. process is over." Also attending the meeting was Al Zack, a close associate of AFL- CIO President George Meany. In Washington, White House press secretary George Reedy told reporters the President is being kept fully informed but that John- son regards the strike at this point as entirely a Labor Depart- ment matter, insofar as the fed- eral government is concerned. Behind the concern on all sides lay the possible impact of the waterfront strike on the nation's economy. An East and Gulf Coast strike normally takes a $20 mil- lion a day toll of the nation's economy. called a strategy meeting of the union leaders "to find out what: the men really want and what it will take now to satisfy them." 1i THOMAS W.
