Q
LBJ Irate, Cracks Down
On Blatant Lawbreakers
By RAY CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)’
Curious things have been happening.
Several college professors have openly announced they had
helped students evade the draft law. They said they would
continue to break the law and were waiting to be arrested.
In one case, the university put out a press release on the pro
fessor’s actions and stating what a high quality man the uni
versity felt be was.
Ultraleft publications have printed instructions on illegal
methods of flunking the military’s physical tests for induction
(reporting imaginary ailments or pricking oneself and put
ting a drop of blood in the urine specimen given to the Army
doctor). These publications urging flunking of the induction
tests have been circulated to the public in open violation of
the law.
Demonstrators have publicly attempted to get soldiers to
desert while on duty.
Men have publicly burned their draft cards—or turned
them in—and invited arrest. College professors have defied
the law and gone illegally to North Vietnam. Marchers have
wantonly defaced and destroyed public property.
The Justice Department has taken to trial very few of the
men and women described above who have asked for arrest.
This Justice Department inaction has become a major topic
of conversation in Washington groups.
To many people, this government passivity seems curious.
If laws are to mean anything, they say, laws must be en
forced. If poor laws are on the books they should be eradi
cated or changed. But a breakdown in law enforcement in
evitably results in a breakdown in society.
But there are signs of a change.
The October 21-22 protest march on the Pentagon may have
turned the tide.
In the past few weeks, men close to the White House be
lieve they have sensed a rising nationwide resentment against
the widespread increase in crime. Specifically, these men be
lieve they have found that the way the march on the Penta
gon was carried out stirred upi a great deal of revulsion
against vulgar violence and blatant, roughshod defiance of
the law. The October 21-22 protest inarch apparently stirred
up doubts about an administration that stands by indecisively
while the nation’s laws are wantonly disobeyed.
This reporter has been reliably informed that President
Johnson’s dander rose after October 21-22. The President is
understood to have laid down the law personally to the attor
ney general. Johnson told the Justice Department head in
very strong terms that the federal laws would have to be en
forced and blatant lawbreakers prosecuted.
J 11 * esid e nt 8150 made dear to his chief law enforcement
officer that there would have to be a more determined ap
proach to help states and communities develop effective
means of curbing local crime.

There's a New Star In
Senate Murky Way
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
When you can find a handsome westerner who rattles off
Shakespeare from memory and is reputedly the smartest,
toughest man on President Johnson’s riot commission, it’s
too early to say that—except for the Kennedys—the Senate
has lost its color.
Democratic Sen. Fred Harris of Oklahoma, just turning 37,
is the new star beginning to shine through the Senate’s murk.
At mid-November, Harris has just had his first mention as
q future vice presidential possibility, in a New England news
paper’s profile on, yes, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York.
Any list of key activists on the President’s commission
which leaves off Harris is gravely incomplete. He and
Mayor John Lindsay of New York are said to be the real
driving forces in that agency’s inquiries into urban riots.
Harris is said to have chewed up a fat stack of books on the
nation’s urban-racial dilemma. He is the only member of
the commission who is also on the Senate’s Permanent Sub
committee on Investigations, which currently is conducting
its own probe of riots and their causes.
Hard, contentious questioning of the sort Harris is employ
ing behind closed commission doors is not new to him.
Last year a Senate subcommittee headed by Connecticut
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff got a lot of headlines for Ribicoff and
Bob Kennedy as the group delved into city problems. Sharp
listeners noted that Fred Harris was no less searching and
tenacious a questioner than his more celebrated colleagues.
The Oklahoman is likewise busy on the Senate Finance Com
mittee, which lately has been hacking through the thickets of
Social Security-Medicare. One day recently, Harris sat down
at a cafeteria table in the Senate Office Building and, with an
aide scribbling, banged out the substance of a couple of
Social Security amendments. Both changes were adopted.
Almost unnoticed outside the field, he has made himself an
expert in education, science and government research. The
specialists in this realm love him and keep telling him so in
places like Science magazine.
Trained in history, government and law, Harris had eight
years in the Oklahoma Senate under his belt by time he was
elected to the U.S. Senate in 1964 at the age of 33.
For those who did not know him, he seemed the spoiler who
crushed sports fans’ romantic notion of getting former Okla
homa football coach Ernest (Bud) Wilkinson, Republican, into
the Senate.
Harris is making the wise ones forget the old coach. His
off-cuff replies to newsmen’s questions spray facts right off
the top shelf. Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, Francis
Bacon and others are quoted with an ease that should make
a quite a dent out there in Kennedy-land.
Harris is no novice in foreign affairs, either. He attended
a Bonn conference of world parliamentarians this spring and
soon will visit London for a big public welfare parley.
He stands pretty much with the President on Vietnam. That
puts him in “the establishment,” but the record shows he is
as tough an “inside critic” as the establishment has.
