ALL MEN’S GAINS ARE THE FRUIT OF
VENTURING — HERODOTUS
Still Forked Tongue
Governments, like you hr suitors,
should not be taken seriously when
they use a word like “forever.”
In 1794, the nation of the United
States signed a treaty with the Seneca
Indian nation granting it a reservation
along the banks of the Allegheny Riv-
er in western New York which the
Senecas were to enjoy undisturbed for-
ever—or at least “as long as the grass
grew green.”
In 1964, the Indians are being dis-
possessed because most of their land
will be submerged under water when
the Kinzun Dam flood control project
27 miles downstream is completed.
The Indians may. in their wisdom,
understand that the living cannot al-
wav.^be. bound by the promises of the
dead. In 1794, America west of the
Atlantic coast was a great wilderness
that Thomas Jefferson thought would
take a thousand years to settle.
No one could foresee that the U. S.
population would multiply 45 times in
170 years. No man dreamed of the
mechanization, the rapid transporta-
tion and all the other things that place
a larger human gap between 1964 and
1794 than existed between the infant
United States and the, Roman Empire.
One thing the Indians cannot un-
derstand however, is why it should
take so long for them to be paid for
their land. A $20 million reparations
and rehabilitation bill passed by the
House (and ctit down to $9.1 million
by) a Senate subcommittee) still lies in
limbo, sidetracked by more pressing
business.
Some 140 Indian families must find
new homes by Oct. 1. They no long-
er refer to the President as the Great
White Father, but as far as they can
tell, the white men still speaks with a
forked tongue.
fftgpf/Evr/i
dations. but nothing came of them.
More recently, LeRoy Collins, for-
mer governor of Florida, has suggest-
ed that an annual, federal-state con-
ference he called by the President.
The federal government would be rep-
resented by the President, key execu-
tive branch personnel and by members
of Congress. Governors, executive de-
partment heads and important mem-
bers of the legislatures would speak
for the states.
Collins feels that such annual con-
ferences .“vyould provide an opportu-
nity for injecting fresh breezes into the
stale fog which now closes in on too
much of our federal-state relation-
ships."
At the very least, they could result
in a clearer definition of the needs of
the American people and an indica-
tion of how these needs could be best
met, whether lgyythe separate states or
by the federal government.
Whatever the decision might be in
any particular matter, in the final an-
alysis it must involve each side aiding
the other to do its proper job.
The Union was never meant to lie
a rivalry but a partnership.

Texas Image or No for ’64?
LBJ Will Have Final Say
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Washington—(NEX)—Friends, there’s a big one up for
decision soon in President Johnson’s top Democratic circle. De-
pending on how it finally comes out, we may be seeing a lot
more—or a lot less—of the 10-gallon hat.
The Hawks and the Doves aren’t in this one. Let’s label
the contenders this time the Eagles and the Coyotes.
The Eagles want Johnson to be presented in the ,1964
campaign as president of all the people. They want him to
stuff away all 10-gallon hats, cowboy boots, saddles arid other
Texas trimmings. Presumably they’d be happy if he’d Rut the
LBJ ranch off limits until 1965.
To the Coyotes this is rank foolishness. Of his western
background they say: “He can’t shake it, so why not aae it?”
If these fellows win the day, the great American “spread”
will be soaked with the flavor of Johnson’s Texas. Tfcetri', wiH
be no effort to change Austin to “Baustin.”
The choice — whether to go for a “coast-to-coast” image
or build frankly from the old Texas portrait —■ hasn’t yet
been made. Everything indicates that the President himself
will make it.
Should anyone imagine that he leaves this sort of de-
cision to others, we can go back and look at Lyndon Baines
Johnson on the 1960 campaign trail as rice presidential nont-
inee.
He designed bumper stickers. He approved the lyrics for
a whistle-stop campaign song written by a band leader's wife.
He set the make-up and .specified many details for a four-page
tabloid campaign newspaper.
No one who had anything to do with it is likely to forget
the President’s winding, whistle-stop train trip from Wash-
ington to New Orleans. Still ringing in many ears is the bat-
tle cry he bellowed, almost as an afterthought, as the train
pulled away from a Virginia crowd:
“And what has Richard Nixon ever done for Culpeper?”
_ Few realise, however, how much of a one-man band John-
son was in the days just before that celebrated swing. He

One Must Hold the Other
One issue that is hound to arouse
vast sections of the electorate this year
is that of “state’s rights’’ vs. “central-
ized government.”
Unfortunately, the matter is not so
much an issue as an emotion with many
of us. More heat than light is usually
generated in discussions of just how
far the federal government is encroach-
ing on areas properly belonging to the
states — or, conversely, in .just what
ways the states are failing to or are
unable to protect the lights and meet
the new needs of their citizens in this
seventh decade of the 20th ceij^ury.
If the .popular logic is not what it
should be, it is not surprising, for the
experts have tried to come to grips
with the situation and have failed to
find any workable formula.
In 1952, at the request of President
Eisenhower, Congress set up the Com-
mission on Inter-Governmental Rela-
tions. Two years later ihe commis-
sion was unable to recommend any
functions of government which could
be transferred from Washington to the
states.
In 1957, President Eisenhower gave
the same challenge to the Governors’
Conference. A committee set up by
the governors made a few recommen-

Top Billing
Stonewall, Mar. 31 lift — T.he
village of Stonewall, almost in
sight of President Lyndon John-
son’s ranch, has decided to give
the President top billing on
signs greeting motorists ap-
proaching the town.
The two large Signs are on
US 290, erected while Johnson
was US senator from Texas,
now say “Stonewall — peach
center of Texas — home of
LBJ.”
Last week the chamber of
commerce voted to change the
signs to read, “Stonewall —
home of LBJ —■ peach center
of Texas.”
“A lot of people complained
that we were putting peaches
above the President,” said Har-
vey O. Eckert, civic affairs
chairman for the chamber.
Some Stonewall residents 3ay
they resent, good naturally,
