ment to Texas audiences during the campaign of
1941. "I love peace,” he had declared. “I hate war.
And if the day ever comes when my vote must be
to send your boy to war, that day Lyndon Johnson
will leave his seat in Congress to go with him ”
He also had had long talks about this with his
wife Lady Bird. He had told her that, if war
came, she should be prepared to have him volun-
teer. She had agreed then, and she was ready to
have him go now that war had come.
Johnson had long shared with Franklin Roose-

velt a strong predilection for matters nautical.
He had served on the powerful House Naval
Affairs Committee, and he was an officer in the
Naval Reserve. After he entered active service,
he refused to draw his Congressional salary of
$10,000 a year. Instead,' he wanted only the
$3,000 pay of a lieutenant commander.
The first days in uniform were.a disappoint-
ment.. Instead of being sent overseas, he found
himself in a San Francisco office. He chafed under
the lack -of action. "I’m not finding but anything
about the war,” he complained to his brothers
Sam Houston, who was working for a war agency
in Denver. "I’m not doing anything-1 would be
worth more to the country in Congress than I
am in this assignment. I’m going to Washington
and talk to the Boss (Roosevelt). He’s got to get
something done about me."
The visit to "the Boss" bore fruit. Commander
Johnson’s assignments thereafter ranged widely
over the Pacific theater of war, add he spent
several months with Gen. Douglas MacArthur
while preparing a report for the President..
Once, over Australia, Commander Johnson was :

"TT MIGHT BE a heart attack,” the doc-
1 tor said.
“If you think it might be a heart
attack,” the patient replied, “let’s act
as though we know it is.”
The patient was Lyndon B. Johnson, then the
majority leader of the United States Senate. He
had first felt a constriction in the chest on July
2, 1955, while driving to Middleburg, Va., to
visit George Brown, an old Texas friend.
No words could be more characteristic of Lyn-
don Johnson than "Let’s act as though we know
it is." They carry the same ring of resolution that
was his that dark day of Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas:
when—similarly in command of the situation—
he said simply: "Let’s get this plane back, to
Washington."
"These words," as Booth Mooney, his close
friend and one-time associate, puts it, “are the
hallmark of his character as a man of action and
a courageous fighter.”
The story of Lyndon Johnson’s courage is
written, too, in his actual war record during the
seven months that he was a lieutenant commander
in the Navy. At the end of that brief period.
President Rooeevelt recalled all Congressmen to
Washington.
Just one hour after Representative Johnson
voted for the declaration of war after the Japa-
nese bombing of Pearl Harbor, he volunteered for
active duty in the Navy. He thus became the first
Congressman to get into uniform.
He felt he could do no less after his commit-

Later, Commander Johnson was aboard a
bomber which was attacked by Japanese fighters
and had one engine knocked out. He had volun-
teered as an observer on the bomber in order to
obtain personal knowledge of combat conditions
in New Guinea for a report to the President.
• When the Japanese planes attacked, he continued
his work as though nothing had happened.
His courage attracted the attention of General
MacArthur, who personally decorated him with
the Silver Star for gallantry on this mission.
