The gold, white and pink mo tif was carried into the ball room. Again gold cherubs were used, this time at both mantels.

"IT MUST SHIV HIM SOMETHING AWFUL' Something has been getting under the skin ot Our 1 eader and it’s beginning to show. He came down to South Texas to survey the dam age trom Hurricane Beulah and when some- bods asked him whose lault it vs as that a dam washed out. he said anybody who'd ask a ques tion like that is the sort ot person who is against a tax increase. Sure. Well, next day I read he'd foresworn the sauce and was joining up with the Pepsi genera tion. so 1 figured his system was having with drawal symptoms and anybody'd be jumpy under the circumstance. From (Titty Sark to Lizzies is a country mile, all ot it up-hill, and anybody can be excused a little nose-twitching or outburst while making the run. But then a tew days later 1 read where he got sore at some ot his erstwhile companions and told them that, by Ciod! folks ought to quit looking to the guvrnint to solve all their prob lems for them. f irst, 1 thought maybe's he'd broken the Pledge already but then it occurred to me that this man, who is essentially intelligent and acquisitive, must know that he's sitting on top of the goofiest political delusion since the Roman Empire, and it must drive him half nuts at times. John Kennedy, while he was still a mortal and before he became a saint, said of the folks around the ADA, "I can't feel comfortable around those people." Lyndon is bound to feel the same way when he has to spend time with a bunch ot sweaty-palmed social reformers he wouldn t give the time ot day if he weren’t in politics. I his man doesn't have to be shown that two plus two is four, that inflation is the policy of both political parties, because there are more debtors than creditors, that the same people who want economy also want subsidy. He knows that better than you and I, and it must shiv him something awful. To tell somebody around the ADA office that the guvrnint can't solve every problem that exists is like telling Virginia that Santa Claus is an old souse. So I can only guess at the tre mendous pressure which must have nudged Our Leader into this passionate betrayal. Now that I'm getting to where Social Se curity figures largely in my plans for the future, 1 hope this sort of talk doesn't prolif erate. After all these years of paying into SS, I'll be quite put out if they decide that the thing won't work after all and just call it off. Flow about my medicare and pension and spe cial consideration on the income tax? They going to decide they're tired of fooling around with that sort of hanky panky and leave me without a pension or a paid appendectomy? Come now, this is no time to start putting sanity into government—not when I’m getting up to the cashier’s window after all these years. I'll endure the chronically depressed Post Of fice, the payments for not growing stuff, the penalties for importing things and even Hubert Humphrey. But if they’re going to try to run the government like a business, I quit! It’s got so a man just can’t depend on anything.
