Stout, Waxahachie, sitting for District Judge James C.

The November job data was ollected only a few days after he steel strike was ended in November by court injunc- ion. The figures reflected a sizable of steelworkers to their obs, but a considerable dent in he employment total because of over 600,000 layoffs due to steel shortages. Also November brings a seasonal decline in outdoor work such as construction and agriculture.

The report said a smaller number than usual of women and entered the labor 'orce during November, looking 'or pre-Christmas work. 'Wolf- bein said he had no immediate explanation for this. But he said it helped reduced seasonal adjusted rate of unemployment to 5.6 per cent in November. The ratio of idle to he labor force was 6 per cent October. The Christmas shopping season brought a November rise of 160,000 in trade employment.

IONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE "The Republican Party stands Before the seven the party in the grav lannel suit, out to make a sale nit not to deliver the goods." The conduct of the present drninistration, the Texan said placed in balance "the very haracter of America itself 'his administration has com- nitted itself to a course which las as its purpose the denia growth as the fulfillment ind extension of American free lorn." The Senate Majority Leader cgarded by observers as a irime contender for the Demo presidential nomination nitlined several challenges he lays faces Democracy. "Around this globe, in lands unfamiliar names and his ories unlike our own, men are vatching. Freedom will mean to then vhat they see with their eyes "Most of the billions who will be watching us live In ands such as the American West.

If we are to persuadi he world by example, bcliev. the example we offer must b' in our development of thi lOtential of the American West "Thus, American leadershi which understands the West i the leadership most certain I be understood by the world, such leadership that we miis have as the nation enters th decade of the 1960s." JOHNSON CONTINUED PROM PAGE OTTE No man is more skilled at counting the political house than Lyndon Johnson. He's such a shrewd and careful political leader that even Republicans in the Senate sometimes speak of him in awe and in envy. Johnson is proud that the ights in his office burn late as ic and his staff check and recheck on how other senators plan to vote. "We're busy with our homework," Johnson says.

But Johnson doesn't have to stay up late at night to discover this fact of political life: Since Civil War, the door of the White House has been locked against all Southerners. Johnson knows it, and John-on resents it. His resentment shows up In such comments as this, made while he was speaking up for additional civil rights legislation: "We must purge ourselves of all bigotry, whether it's against a. majority or a minority, wheth- it's against a class or a section." Here Johnson paused significantly. "And I'd like to emphasize 'section." Johnson probably will go to National Nominating Contention next summer with a good lineup of Southern votes, as well as others he will pick up in the mountain and western states.

The convention should be a iumdinger. If it should come to an up- roaring stalemate, a man of rent persuasive powers, who knows when to move and when lie down, might make great progress. A 100 -a-year tradition might be broken, and then Lyndon Johnson, his big Texas hat pushed back jauntily, his face abeam, his glasses, whisked off so photographers could get a better shot of him, could stride as a full-fledged candidate up the path that leads toward the White House. But now it's foolish to butt one's head against a tightly locked door. If his great friend and teacher, Speaker Sam Rayburn, wants to start Johnson- For-President Clubs all over Texas, why not humor him? And there's no harm traveling about meeting the folks, is there? It turns out a lot of folks are curious about Lyndon.

He had overflow crowds wherever he spoke in Iowa and Kansas. Here, in a Republican strong- old, he drew 350 to a dinner in he Tallcorn Hotel. It was the argest Democratic turnout here history. When speaking to service lubs, Johnson takes the high oad, with a few cleverly con- detours. He speaks of the great need BLOND IB clined by 150,000.

Employment in the primary metals industry rose by 375,000 as striking steelworkers returned to their jobs. But steel shortages in auto plants resulted a November cutback of 225,000 in that industry. The Labor Department one in every four auto workers was unemployed in November compared with one in 20 before the steel strike began. In meta fabricating industries the idle was 10 per cent, or double the rate before the steel strike Wolfbein said he doubted that all the layoffs caused by the steel strike will have been washed out by the end of the SO day steel strike injunction per orl in late January. He said his- estimate of 4,250,000 unemploy early next year could bo out by a renewed step strike, or by a threatened rail road strike.

The factory work week, which Kenorally shows little changi hfitween October and November declined by nearly a hn.lf-hoin to 39.9 hours, due largely It outbacks because of the stee strike. Average factory worker earnings rose by two cents ovo the month of S2.23, reflecting ii part the return to work higher paid steelworkers. COLLISION FATAL STAMFORD James Harwell, 75, a farmer from tin Tuxedo community near here in West Central Texas, died Thurs day in a collision of his car with a truck. The crash at a intersection 10 miles west of Stamford broke Harwell's car into three pieces. lor responsible leadership in this country.

Then he mentions how is Majority Leader, he never opposes anything merely because it's proposed by a Repub ican President. "If this proposal is good for America," he will say, "it's good 'or the Democratic party." Only a dullard could fail to understand here that befon them is a shining example leadership. At these neetings he refers to President Eisenhower often and kindly. But at political meetings Johnson can become almost as freewheeling a critic as Harry S. Truman.

True, he remains pleas- int in his attitude toward Eiseiv hower, but now he may get in a few ja.bs. He will be talking about Rus sia's Nikita S. Khrushchev, how forceful he is, how determined 'I didn't see a man who need ed a siesta in the afternoon," he will say. This is a not too gentle reminder that Eisenhower sometimes sleeps during the day, and the impression left on the audience la that Johnson, who had a heart, attack of his own in 1955, will never be caught napping. Here in the farm belt Johnson naturally hits hard at the farm policies of Secretary Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson.

But he also blames the administration for high interest rates, for a lag in missiles, for what he calls the disrepair of our foreign alliances. "The Republican party," he says, "hns already settled for place in the world." Johnson worries a great deal because he thinks he's not too sood at reading a speech. "I don't read it well," he says, "I lose contact." He's at his best when he throws the script away. Then he talks a lot about how things were down in Texas when he was a boy, pretty tough, and how he grew up to be the young- es; Majority Leader in the history of the Senate. In nearly all of his speeches Johnson slips in a sentence that comes out about like this: "Let's keep our eyes on the stars-and do the possible." It's too early to say what's possible or impossible.

But no matter what he says, you can bet that Lyndon Johnson has his eyes on the political stars so temptingly over the White House.
