LYNDON E. JOHNSON
benate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson is a man
of many talents. And some of the abilities he uses daily
as the senior U.S. Senator from Texas are the harvest of
varied jobs held as a youth.
He finished high school at 15 -- in a graduating class
of six. The immediate need for money came ahead of the
long-range advantages of further education. For almost
two years, the future U. S. Senator from Texas worked on
a road-building gang, starting at $1.00 a day. This stint
was interspersed with a hitch-hiking trip to the West Coast
where he worked as an elevator operator, in a cafe, and
washing cars.
”By then it became increasingly apparent to me that
there was something to this idea of higher education, ” he
says. Johnson packed his clothes and hitch-hiked to South-
west State Teachers College at San Marcos.
After graduation from college, he joined the faculty
of a Houston high school where he taught public speaking
and debate.
Study and work paid off. In 1930, at the age of 22,
received his Bachelor of Science degree from college. This
meant that in three and one-half years -- including time out
in which he taught -- Johnson had completed three months of
college preparatory studies and four full years of college work.
Then came an opportunity to enter public life a-
t0' ,Con8res8man R^hard M. Kleberg. Johnson

In August, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
appointed the hard-working young Congressional secretary
as state administrator of the National Youth Administration
in Texa- .
Two years later, after receiving official recognition
as one of the most effective ITYA administrators in the nation,
he resigned to enter a special election to fill the Central Texas
seat made vacant by the death of Congressman Janies P. Buchanan
of Brenham. Johnson won r,,,er a field of nine other candidatea-
Then, in 1948, following re-election to live successive
terms in the House, Johnson became a successful candidate
for the Senate. Honors and responsibilities came fast.
. Democratic colleagues unanimously named him
^Nority Whxp ln the 82nd Congress, Minority Leader in the
83rd, and Majority in the 84th, 85th, and 86th Congresses.
, was the youngest man in Senate history to be elected to
leadership office.

andthe Democratic Conference Committee of the U.S. Senate.
