WASHINGTON (AP) - Both
In public and tr. private. Prsel-
drat Johnson la saying ttotonaa
Secretary Robert S. Mo-
Namara’a shift to the prtaldeiv
cy of ftie World BanL reflected
McNamara’s own dealre-and
that Johnson felt powertoas to
stand In hto way.
Moreover, no matter what
others may think, Johnst*
seems satisfied McNamara to
content with the way the Presi-
dent handled the situation and
will depart the Cabinet with
only warm feelings and appre-
ciation for Johnson's role In the
matter.
The President portrays him-
self as the target of wholly un-
justified charges, speculations
and Innuendos that somehow he
eased McNamara out of the fed-

eral government for political or
other purposes.
In the Chief Executive'* view,
the Pentagon boas wlU be shitt-
tng from first base to shortstop
sriian he resign* to become pm-
Went of the 107-nation bank.
And Johnson Insists that, had
Ih« decision been the Presi-
dent's alone. McNamara would
have remained nn drat has* In-
definitely.
If tome baseball fans feel the
shortstop hat more status Nun
the first baseman, perhaps It
might be well noted Johnson
was a first baseman in Ids
younger days.
McNamara has been ap-
proached about two doom or
mors jobs In lecmt years—one
reportedly offering J1 million a
year—and rejected all of them.'*
Johnson finds this
evidence the Pentagon baas
really had hto heart set on the
World Bank position, one paying
MO,000 a year but presumably
offering greater opportunities
for public aarvtoC'
The President has often said
he would not stand In the way of
any appointee who felt the grass
was greener elsewhere. He has
cited the case of on* of his clos-
est assistants. Jack Valenti,
who quit to become the 1150,-
000-a-year president of the Mo-
tion Picture Association of
America, and noted that Me-
George Bundy, his original na-
tional security adviser, depart-
ed to become Ford Foundation
president
In Johnson’* view, he could no
more thwart McNamara’s de-
sires for other employment than
he did In th* Valenti and Bundy
case*.
At th* same time, he wants no
one to think that he encouraged
McNamara’s decision or even
hastened It
If th* President were to draw
up hto own chronology of how
the McNamara saga pro-
gressed, It doubtless would go
very much Ilk* this:
—April 11: Georg* D. Woods,
current president of th* World
Dank, Invited McNamara to
lunch, saying It seas a personal
matter. McNamara accepted

says Chairman WUbur D. Mills
of the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Mills told reporter* Thursday
It’s out of the question for Con-
greu to pass the administra-
tion’s complex tax bill to th* re-
maining weeks of th* current
session of Congress. *
The Arkansas Democrat’* re-
mark* followed completion of

Johnson’* plan for a 10 per cent
surcharge on Income taxes,
combined with an administra-
tion spending cut plan.
In presenting the plan, Treas-
ury Secretary Henry II. Fowler
ukl it would be unthinkable not
to start work on tt promptly,
But Mills let the hearings
lapse without-scheduling any

we e*n appropriately take ac-
tion.” he said.
Mills aald he assumed the
next move would be tor Budget
Director Charles L. Schultze to
discuu the proposed spending
cuts with the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
Th# tax spending plan would
require action by three commit-
tees—ways and Means for the
17.4 billion tax Increase; Appro-
priations for spending cuts, pro-
jected at $4.1 billion but which
Mills said should be greater;
and Government Operations for

for a commission to make a
long-range study of government
programs.
Mills said he doubt* even hit
committee could complete its
pert of the work by Jan/ L
Mills said the administration Nte-
should be able to cut expendi-
tures by $2 bUlion to 13 billion
more than it* estimate, and that
such a cut “would enhance the
acceptance of a tax Increase by
He also emphasised he wants
spending held down during
year beginning July 1 as weU as
the present fiscal year, and ap-
plauded Schultze for saying this
was the administration inten-
tion.

ministration a broad hint

ciding on taxes.
