I suppose the address, at least In part, Is also carried by some foreign television networks. With such a vast audience, every conceivable point of view with respect to government af. fatrs Is represented. As a mat-te- r of fact, this would prob. If the audi. from the files of the News & Journal ably be true even ence were limited only to those physically present in the House Washington cur-rentl- y a chamber. Even communists are in the audience, as foreign diplomats from communist countries are among the Invited guests. But even if you dont count the visitors, the diversity of opinion among the 535 mem behS of the Senate and House Is still considerable. As I look-eabout the chamber I could see Vietnam "doves who op pose the Presidents war poll who think he hawks cles, hasnt pressed hard enough in d Vietnam, fiscal conservatives who believe the country Is falling apart underPresldent John, sons leadership, and economic liberals who, with equal vehe. mnce,' predict the country Is doomed to disaster unless the President follows policies requiring even greater federal spending. On the other hand, many of the; Presidents champions were present also. Speaker John W. McCormack, for example, de. scribed the address as one of the wisest and most practl cal prescriptions for peace and progress In many years. As the President looked down qb this variegated assemblage of statesmen and not so states, How nfen, Ill bet he though, could I ever hope to please this bunch? And all of Ills predecessors, from George Washington to John have probably F. Kennedy, thought much the same thing. But, of course, no president ever could. And, In fact, he doesnt have to; all he needs to please Is that consensus of 50 percent plus the Speaker's. I suppose this was predictable, just as the Speakers reaction was predictable, too. I believe the President was too optimistic In his outlook for the war In Vietnam. And I think he glossed over some of the real problems we face here at home, particularly, the fiscal ones. and In the final analysis this is a point that most news analysts and commentators have agreed upon the speech was politically oriented, as one might expect for the beginning of a presidential election year It marked the opening salvo, In the Presidents I suppose, campaign for As the address was politically charged, so were most of the reactions to It. Senator Eugene McCarthy, the Presidents chal. lenger In the Democratic prl marles, didnt show up. He knew he wouldnt like what Mr. John son had to say about Vietnam before Mr. Johnson said It. Senator J. William Fulbrlght of Arkansas, the erstwhile crl tic' of Vietnam policy, did He was part of the escort for the President. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York was present, but ap. parent not particularly happy about It. Ills face was blank when It was not bleak, and he applauded only the Presidents exit and entrance, sinking furth. er Into his chair with every paragraph, so reported Mary Mcf-rorIn the Washington - Star. The man the President most wanted to Impress didnt come That was Congressman Wilbur Mills, chairman of the House and Means commit Ways tee, who holds the key to pas sage of the President's ' to Increase the Income tax. r 4, r. f A good part of the address was directed toward that sub Ject. But Mr. Mills was not around for the speech, and he bad no comment to make when asked alout It later. General streaking, the Democrats said they liked the Presl. dent's address, the Republicans criticized it. There were, of such as course, exceptions, those already noted, My administrative assistant Roland Robison, stayed home to watch the address on tele srtslon, When It was time for I g 50 Years Ago The following have attended January 14, 1918 school every Sunday morning in the First ward Sunaay during the past year: Elver Peterson, Monroe Peterson, Lester Dredge, Willie Sackett, Lona Anderson, Anna Nelson, Doris Christensen, Laverna Peterson, Leah Mathias, Ruby Sackett, Horense Mathias, May Christensen.
