There was something noble about the, way he accepted. That's when we did cry. For we felt as though he was stepping out of the driver's seat he had occupied as majority ' leader to take off his "coat and pick up the broom." Lady Bird, practical and down to earth, assesses her family's current situation coolly. "I think," she told me, "that the girls can get much good out of this strange, milieu they're in.

"When he didn't get it," says Diana Tschursin, his niece who was working with the Johnson delegation, "it was not a big blow. Nobody shed a tear.

Long before"that time comesr r. however, there are the years of the Vice Presidency the crowded years of doing. Just before the election, I quoted Lady Bird Johnson in FAMILY WEEKLY (Oct. 23, 1960) as saying, "I know he is going to want to make the office of Vice President just as dynamic as is consonant with the Constitution. We've been studying the Constitution very carefully." Expanded Role The Constitution specifies nothing more for the Vice President than that he should preside over the Senate and succeed to the Presi- -' dency if the Chief Executiye dies. Richard M. Nixon, Johnson's predecessor, expanded the functions of office beyond that of any of the the r 35 Vice Presidents before him. Johnson and Nixon are called by some "the smartest politicians in their respective parties," and today Lyndon carries on the new tradition of a more meaningful Vice Presidency. Like Nixon before him, Johnson represents the President on missions abroad. Says George E. Reedy, Jr., assistant to the Vice President: Johnson's 'trip to Asia Was an actual working trip, during which he had specific authority to negotiate. As a result of that trip, we increased our assistance to Vietnam and Thailand in return for assurances from their chiefs of state that they would take certain actions favorable to us.' Thus the new Vice Presidency is expanded even further under Johnson. If Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr., were alive todayT he could tell his Texas neighbors that his grandson, in the role of a vigorous Vice President, is making friends for America throughout the world.
