by the way .. . By DOBBS A. SANDERS POLITICS Lynd*« Johnson doesn’t miss a trick in his never-ending quest for votes. The man’s pen chant for publicity is exceeded only by his adeptness in achiev ing same. The dailies this week carried pictures of him holding a baby-while over the radio we hear that he has made the statement “if business doesn’t provide work for the ‘hard core unemployed’, the federal gov ernment will have to do it”. In other words, more people on the federal payrolls, more votes for LBJ. Apparently the President doesn’t read the help-wanted section of the newspaper There is surely some job avail able for every unemployed per son. Of course there might be some work attached - I suppose that is the reason there is “hard core unemployment’’ - the unemployed want handouts, not jobs. This reminds me of an article that recently came to my at tention. The author is unknown but it appeared in U .S. News & World Report. Entitled “You can’t cure poverty with pity but you can with work”, it reads a^ follows' You and l don’t deserve a home. We don’t desene so and so much income. We don’t de serve security. We only deserve the chance to try to earn these things for ourselves. For years every newspaper has been carrying columns of Help Wanted advertisements-- more jobs than people willing and able to fill them. Most Americans want work; our interest and effort should be directed toward helping them get it, helping them prepare for it. But there are some who make a profession of poverty-people who won’t work, and who don't intend to work as long as they can get welfare.” They say it is “society’s fault” they are poor, when actually it is more apt to be their own laziness. To talk of spending more than 7 billion dollai-s on relief in this year of prosperity is a disgrace to America and all honest Americans. A fraction of that sum spent where it should be, by state and communitiew, on work-education would acc omplish instead of destroy. Ambit ion to work doesn t C OS t anything, b Ut it s olves more problem s.
