Griffin Victorious Bode III for LBJ WASHINGTON (/P) — Led by spectacular victories across the nation, Republicans appeared to have gained 45 seats in the House and three in the Senate as a result of yesterday’s balloting. The GOP inroads in the House—3s^ seats have been nailed down — threatened to charge the political atmosphere of the body, boding ill for future Great Society proposals o f President Johnson. Gone would be the current Democratic majority of 295 to 140 over the Republicans and with it the fine edge of support < needed for several presidential programs. A potential Republican gain of three in the Senate would not provide too much political pain for the Democrats, now holding a 67-33 margin there. If the Republican gains in Congress were about in line with what could be expected in a nonpresidential election year — the average is about 40 for the party locked out of the White House — the GOP increased its strength in governors’ races where it counts most in future presidential contests. Pacing the Republican gubernatorial victories was actor Ronald Reag^’s election as California governor. GAIN 9 STATE HOUSES In Michigan, Gov. George Romney barged into the 1968 Republican presidential nomination contention with a landslide third-term victory.

Plans for the project are proceeding in spite of the fact that a $1.5-million federal grant to cover part of the cost apparently is not going to come through. Mayor Wesley McAtee said if the grant should come through before the 30th, it would probably be accepted, but that officials are not countihg on it. McAtee said the sewer will be financed through general obligation bonds. ★ ★ One of the reasons given for not awarding the grant, according to McAtee, is the city’s, tax base potential which puts it in a better financial position than other communities.

FimisMU Mtnaging Editor LBJ’s Viet Nam Policies Collide The Manila conference pledged the United States to guarantee the freedom of South Viet Nam and to withdraw its forces there within six months after “the other side withdraws its forces to the north.” This is the flat paradox that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Arthur Goldberg will attempt to untangle when he delivers “a major and significant address on the heels of the Manila conference” at a World Federalist dinner in Philadelphia tomorrow evening. As columnist James Reston points out: “The South Vietnamese forces were not able to deal with the Communist guerrillas within South Viet Nam before the United States put its troops in the field, and they probably would not be able to deal with them after the American forces were withdrawn.” In the past, President Johnson has seemed to invite negotiation and the compromise which any true negotiation would entail. But as he climaxed his swing through seven Pacific nations by a visit with American troops in South Viet Nam, their Commander-in-Chief said; “I give you my pledge that we shall never let you down, nor your fighting comrades, nor the 15 million people of South Viet Nam, nor the Asians Who are counting pn us to show here in Viet Nam that aggression does not pay, and that aggression cannot succeed.” And he added, less formally, “Come home with the coonskin on the wall.” ★ ★ ★ It will be interesting to see what Goldberg, a semantics specialist, can do to rationalize the President’s contradictory postures.

Surely their efforts cannot be ignored by this fine newspaper. DON INGLAND 4290 CASS-ELIZABETH (Editor’s Note: The U. of D. plan was thoroughly reported in The Pontiac Press. We are backing the Taubman Plan because it has financing and can get under way in a relatively short period of time.) David Lawrence Says: Union Negotiators Second-Guessed by Members Foreign Capitals Studying Votc As the Country is increasingly plagued by strikes in industries essential to the public welfare, one fact emerges: In many labor organizations the national or state leaders have lost control of their membership with respect to contract negotiation. After the elected heads of a union have hammered out a mutually satisfactory contract with management, it has still to be ratified by the membership. ★ ★ ★ Frequently, the members vote down the contract submitted, and the bargaining process has to be resumed. This was the pattern followed in the crippling airline machinists’ strike of a few months ago and is now apparent in negotiations between Michigan Bell Telephone Co. and its employes. Aside from unhealthy disunity thus manifested within unions themselves, the practice is palpably unfair to management, since it has no comparable advantage of second-guessing by stockholders of decisions made at the bargaining table. Unless Big Labor can maintain essential membership discipline, including officials of locals, where industrywide contract negotiations are concerned, collective bargaining will become no more than a “heads I win, tails you lose” exercise at the expense of management and the public interest. Britisher Deals Christmas Spirit Low Blow A report of a real-life plot against Christmas in England has come to our attention. Father Christmas is the British counterpart to America’s Santa Claus and, just as in this country, each Christmas a number of men regularly find employment as Father Christmases in department stores and elsewhere. Now it seems that one Peter Ybarrass, a commercial artist in Liverpool, has been granted use of the name Father Christmas by the registrar of Business Names. Claiming that the registration gives him the only legal title to the name, he plans to form a company called Father Christmas, Ltd. and hopes to prevent anyone else from using the name except by arrangement with him. ★ ★ ★ The other Father Christmases are madly ringing their bells well in advance of the season, and not exactly in a spirit of good will. The name is common property, they assert. “It is quite ridiculous,” says one. “What is the man trying to do? What about the children?” The unembarrassed Mr. Ybarrass says he isn’t worried. “I have made the registration and I am creating the company solely to make myself the only official Father Christmas. It is purely a business venture.” Father Christmas, Ltd.? Santa Claus, Inc.? Bah, humbug! It Wasn’t an Intellectual Rase MARLOW By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON - The 1966 election campaigns were hardly intellectual — what campaigns are? — but the big political mystery of the year was that master politician, President Johnson. Some day, although It’s not in sight in our lifetime, politicial scientists will be kept busy reflecting on the 20th century American mind, the politicians’ and the voters’. Instead <$ debating the issues exhaustively on televisiwi so the people could reach reasonable judgments on them and their ideas, the politicians spent much of their time trying to persuade the voters by shaking hands. Hie explanation is simple: It’s a way of keeping in the public eye and maybe the public mind. Since this is an ancient custom, it wasn’t unique in 1966. Johnson himself has no equal in this field as “inesser of the flesk” Sir Winston Churchill understood the pub» lie eye bit very early as a young man who wanted to get elected to Parliament but first had to make an impression. -- — ★ ..............★ - When he was on tte Northwest Indian fronder in 1897 Churchill wrote a letter to his mother — it’s in the just-published first volume of a three-volume biography by his son, Randolph S. Churchill - which said; FOOLISH PERHAPS’ “I rode my grey pony all along the skirmish line where everyone else was lying down in cover. Foolish perhaps but I play fffi- high stakes and given an audience there is no act too daring or too noble. Without the gallery, things are different.” Still, it was strange to see Sen. Paul H. Douglas, Illinois Democrat and one of the truly intellectual members of Congress, waiting outside factory gates to shake hands with men he had never met and probably wouldn’t again. But it was all niutual. People who might have voted more intelligently' if they had spent more time studying the issues and what the candidates said, turned out in thousands to see the politicians and bowled one another over in the rush to shake hands with Johnson, or Sen. Robert F. Kennedy or some lesser light running for office. ★ ★ ★ In Congress Johnson needs all the Democrats he can get. Even if the Republicans capture 30 or so House seats, the Democrats would still have a majority and keep control. # * ★ But the fewer the Democrats, the harder it will be fffl- Johiu^ to get hi& programs throRgh these next two years. And his success with programs may affect his chances for reelection in 1968. WASHINGTON - In capitals all over the world, particularly in the foreign Offices, the experts are analyzing today their re- j ports on the i election r e -suits in the United States, trying to de-| termine j u s tl what impact I the voting for Congress may LAWRENCE have now on the policy the United States will follow with respect to the Viet Nam war. Familiar as most of the governments abroad are with the importance of an election, involving the members of a national legislature, many officials in other countries do not realize that an American president retains all of his jwwer irrespective of what majority is held in Congress either by his own or a rival party. Thus, President Eisenhower served six out of his eight years with the opposition party in control of both houses. The big majority given President Johnson when he was elected in’ 1964 was in the nature of a landslide, and it is natural for the incumbent party to lose some seats in an election held in the midterm of a president. There will be observers in Europe and Asia, accustomed to parliamentary systems, who will construe the reduction in the Democratic party’s majority as a trend/toward “a vote of lack of confidence.” But this appraisal does not take into account the domestic issues which could also have brought about a smaller margin. ★ * ★ Actually, the sentiment jn the UniW States on the Viet Nam war can hardly be measured by examining the election results this week. For there were many Republicans who during the campaign endorsed the administration’s policy in Viet Nam, and there were some in the President’s own party who disagreed with itr FULLEST SUPPORT Unquestionably a majprity of the pedple feel that, when the United States is at war, the^ fullest support should be given to the President in the conduct of the military operations. The Viet Nam war has prodded considerable controversy, but there is' only a small minority of the voters who would favor retreat or surrender. Verbal Orchids Mrs. Anna Dailey of 21 Lexington; 92nd birthday. Charles E. Groves of 5733 Oster; 91st birUiday. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Muckenhirn of Avon Township; 51st wedding anniversary. Mrs. Mathilda M. Crane of Orchard Lake; 82nd birthday. Mr. and Mi‘s. John SouriaU Of 1« S. Edith; 52nd y^edding anniversary. On the whole, most people in America believe that the President is seeking an honorable peace and should continue the war till this is achieved. Foreign governments, therefore, would be making a mistake to construe the election result as in any way a repudiation of the President’s policies in Viet Nam. The chances are that now the President will feel free to make a concentrated effort to settle the war or else to intensify military activity in the hope of forcing the enemy to the peace table. Certainly with the election out of the way, the administration has a more flexible hand, and it will not hesitate to take the course which most Americans are demanding — an attainment of the main objectives so that South Viet Nam will not be again the victim of aggression.

Costs them $2 a year instead of the regular $8, but only if they order on their church stationery. This could be carrying ecumenism a bit far. But there it is.

KENNETH PEARCE WATERFORD REPLY The primary election is actually two elections—one for Democrats to nominate candidates for a forthcoming election and the other for Republicans to make tlieir choices. If everyone could split his tipket, it could end up in the ludicrous situation of Republicans picking Democrat slates and vice versa.

Campaign Fees The Milwaukee Journal The bane of politics today is the constant need for money due to the growing cost of politicking. Both optional parties have resorted to questionable means of raising funds because they have been unable to amass enough in normal contributions. Congress has now approved a proposal by Sen.

It would allow taxpayers to check on their federal income tax returns whether they were willing to have $1 of their tax payment pot into a campaign fund to be divided evenly between the two major parties. Provision is made for third partiies, which would share after having polled at least five million votes in an election. brought contributions of $1,000, or even $10,000.

Such outbursts are completely inappropriate in a court of law.” The admonition had particular force with the young lawyer who was Warren Taylor — the judge’s son. By Science Service BEDFORD, Mass. — A “hearing aid” that will enable helicopter and other light aircraft pilots to hear machine gun fire up to 500 yards away is being sent to Viet Nam at the end of this month. Without such a device, low-flying craft are often at the n of weapons that cannot be heard in the cockpit. The bearing aid can be used either defensively, to avoid gunfire, or offensively, to locate and destroy it. Two microphones in an egg-shaped pod mounted outside the aircraft send a binaural, or stp-reo, signal to the pilot’s earphones, so that he can pinpoint the source of the gun’s noise. BATTLE LIGHTS — Lighting up the battlefield is an-increasingly effective technique in night air operations over Vjet Nam with the aid of a pbwerful lirliorbe light source. Providing for the first , time a con-8t^, Jong-iaating light coverii^ a wide area, the system from an altitude of 12,000 feet is capable of illuminating an area two miles in diameter four times brighter than full moonlight. It is shown being tested by a C123 Air Force transport over Greenville, Tex., Where it was developed and produced by Ling=Temce-Voaght,’ Inc7 PITTSBURG, Kan. (/P - Tom Bath, president of the Pittsburg school board, in the first faculty meeting of the school year here, was asi^uring the pedagogues of the loyalty of the school board members. He said the closing: “You can be sure a b o u t at least two board members. They will be the last to let you down.” Bath and another board member, Chester Ward, are undertakers. HELPING HAND - Lt. John Swensson of Wichita, Kan., helps ease the suffering of war somewhat for an 11-year-old Vietnamese, Ut Van Troung. His lost arm was replaced with an artificial limb partially paid for by donations from U.S. Servicemen. Lt. Swenson helps Ut with his writing practice. Developed at the Air Force’s Cambridge Research Laboratories here, the device will be much more at home over the steamy jungles of Viet Nam than in a drier climate. The high humidity of Southeast Asia will act as filter fori low-frequency, noises such as aircraft engines, letting the high frequency sounds of gunfire stand out more clearly.
