Johnson Puts Himself
In 'Moderation' Gimp
By J. A. O’LEARY
Senate Democratic Leader Johnson of Texas is not com
mitting himself to any of the aspirants for the Democratic presi
dential nomination next year, but he sees nothing wrong with
"moderation” as a Democratic attribute.
He made this clear at a press conference yesterday on his first
visit to the Capitol since recovering from his July heart attack.
A reporter asked him if he agreed with Gov. Averell Harri-
man of New York that modera-1
tion has no place in a Demo
cratic dictionary. The New York
governor, who is expected to be
one of the contenders at the
Democratic convention, has crit
icized Adlal Stevenson of Illinois
for displaying too much modera
tion on some issues.
Refuses to Comment
Senator Johnson said he did
not know what Gov. Harriman
said, and would not comment
on the views of any one else.
"But, in my own right,” he
added, "I will say I hope I am
not immoderate. Moderation to
me means tolerance —a failure to
embrace extremes. In my own
conduct I have always thought
of myself as one moderate in ap
proach to problems, who could
listen to the viewpoint of others,
and learn."
Senator Johnson said he has
Stevenson Hits
Security Abuse
CHICAGO, Dec. 13 f/P).—Adlai
E. Stevenson says many innocent
citizens have been “grievously in
jured” by the Government in its
enforcement of security measures.,
“The excesses that we have en
dured.” he said, “are not neces
sary ii\ order to keep dangerous
people out of Government, but
because we have bold demagogues
and timid servants within.”
Speaking before the Chicago
Women’s Division the Arileri
jan Jewish Congress yesterday.
Ihe candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination declared:
"An America, at the height of
its power, influence and wealth,
which is anxious and suspicious
of a large segment of its citizens, i
is a sorry sight. And for its Gov
ernment to appear to be the per
secutor rather than the defender
of the innocent is revolting.”
Mr Stevenson predicted that
"the pendulum of passion will
swing back and it will be cor
rected, I have no doubt, but none 1
too soon.”
He said the “passionate dif
ferences of men and nations will
harass us for the foreseeable
future. But if the truths that 1
will heal and bind us together
are ever to emerge, there must (
be confidence in ourselves and in
our faith in freedom, and there i
must be a free trade of, ideas
within the Nation and among
nations.” ;!
“That is why.” he added, “the j
preservation of the guarantees?,
of our Bill of Rights must have ,
a high priority in the personal
history of any true Democrat. If <
my labors have helped to make ]
firm our liberties. I am grateful.”
Mr. Stevenson received an
award at the meeting for “fur- 1
therance of constitutional prin- ]
eiples,” and “for championing :
civil liberties and civil rights." '

; stated in the presence of Mr.
Stevenson, Senator Kefauver of
Tennessee and others that he has
made no commitments or prom
ises.
; “All I have said is that the
Democrats will have the kind of
a program on which whoever is
nominated can win,” the Sen
ator went on.
Senator Johnson looked tan
ned and rested by months of re
laxation on his Texas ranch, and
said that his doctors regard his
recovery as "phenomenal.” But he,
indicated that he is awaiting i
further checkups between now
and January 1 before deciding
how active he will be as majority I
leader of the Senate this winter.
Weight Stabilized
The Senator said there has
been no enlargement of his heart
and his weight has been stabi
lized at 177. But, following the
leadership meeting at the White
j House today, the Texan will fly
to Atlanta for a consultation
| with one of his doctors. After
Upending Christmas in Texas,
jhe will then go to the Mayo
Clinic at Rochester, Minn., on
December 28 for another check
up.
•When Senator Johnson said he
is not a candidate for any office
next year, a reporter asked if
he thought any man who has
been through approximately the
same experience as the Senator
should run for office next year.
Senator Johnson said he would
not be so presumptuous as to
answer for anyone else, but
added:
“I would hope the President’s
health is such that he could be
a candidate if he chose to be.”
The majority leader predicted
the Senate will pass the contro
versial gas bill, already ap
proved by the House, which takes
producers of natural gas from
under Federal rate regulations.
He said both Democrats and Re
publicans will be divided on the
issue but that a majority will
support it.
As to how soon tax reduction
will be considered in the new
session. Senator Johnson s*id
that will be up to the House
which must originate revenue :
bills. |
Court Disapproves
Cycle Courtship
“I’m afraid if you want to put
your arms around the young
( l*dy, a motorcycle is not the
right place to do it,” the judge,
T. D. Elliott, told William H.
Cathcart at Derrygonnelly.
Northern Ireland.
Motorcyclist Cathcart was seen
riding with girl sitting in front of
him and his arms around her.:
He was on the pillion seat but

Gov. Harriman
Sees Johnson j
Gov. Averell' Harriman of
New York said today he had a
friendly and beneficial confer
ence with Senate Democratic
Leader Johnson but discussed ■
only legislative proposals of
particular concern to New York
State.
He also talked with Demo-1
cratic National Chairman Pauli
Butler but described it merely as
a brief chat. The New Yorkj
Governor returned by plane to ’
Albany this morning after a 15- 1
hour visit here.
The main purpose of his quick
; trip, he explained at the May
flower Hotel, was to see Sena
tor Johnson last night prior to
j the White House meeting of
congressional leaders today. He,
particularly wanted to tell
' Senator Johnson of New York 1
State’s interest in obtaining fa
vorable action on a major high
way-building program and the
i pending measure of Senator Leh-<
man. Democrat of New York, for
the Niagara River power project, 1
he said.
