Senator Lyndon Johnson went
on this week not being a candi-
date. His weekly "Washington
Radio Report" began the week by
reaffirming earlier statements
that he is not a candidate for
president.
But the Senator carefully con-
trasted himself with General
Sherman who knew be wasn't a
candidate and who had a way of
saying so convincingly. The Gen-
eral said that it nominated he
would not run and if elected he
would not serve.
"General Sherman, as a mili-
tary man, had a number of con-
siderations in mind w h e n he
made that statement, but I think
that anyone who loves his coun-
try has to be careful about say-
ing that he would refuse to serve
his country," said the Senator.

So there you are—a flat, quali-

"I am very happy to serve my
country as I am now serving. I
do not seek any other type of ser-
vice. If I did, I would tell the
people without hesitation that I
would like to enter this new
field. I do not seek to serve la

not going to say today that, if
my country said to me that it
wanted me to do a particular type
of service that I would close the
door and say that I would refuse
to do that service."

Johnson was: "Senator Johnson,
should it be given you, would
you accept the Presidential no-
mination?"

weeks Texas optometrists will vote
on a proposed new rule prohibiting
practice under any name except the
name under which the optometrist
is licensed
Before polling the optometrists,
the Board of Examiners in Optóme
try got a ruling from Attorney Gen-
eral Will Wilson stating that the
regulation would be legal and
valid.
While the board is not bound by
the results of the balloting, it was
predicted that a favorable response
would almost certainly result in
adoption of the rule. This, because
there are hundreds of individuals
engaged in optometry as compared
with firms so engaged
If adopted, the rule would pro
hibit practice "under an assumed
name, corporate name, trade name
or any name other than the nam*
under which the optometrist is

And then on and on about Gen-
eral Sherman and about serving
if his country called, finally wind-
ing up with: "If I am asked if I
am a candidate, I say no. If I
were seeking the nomination, 1
would say yes. Those are short
words that I think the American
people can understand."
In all of this the Senator has
aaid he is not and active candi-
date but that maybe he will serve.
Just what constitutes a graci-
ous mandate from the people and
at what point the clamor will
force the Senator into being a
candidate will have to be fixed
in the Senator's secret formula.
Meanwhile, Congressional co-
hort, Sam Rayburn, leads the
people's demonstrations for an
LBJ brand on the White House.
How long can a leader withstand
such petitioning?
That is an academic question
and a fair one, but we probably
have the answer to a larger ques-
tion. We know we don't have an-
other General Sherman on our
hands. LBJ doesn't have the con-
siderations of a military man.
