I0U1ILH ULUvJUIUUILL, I1U. "We don't want that tough Rus-, lian politician around with all his ignorance of how we do things in this country when we're washing our dirty linen in public. We've got to have housing, civil rights, labor and road bills. The first three are hard and emotional issues and the last deals with our financial situation. If we're still here Johnson we'll have the problem of whether to let Khrushchev address us, and we'll be damned if we do and damned if we don't.

The press will be glad to blame us if we're around and he loses his temper, no matter why he does It. "He's Eisenhower's baby and we oughtn't to baby sit for them in any way." Khrushchev Speech. The Senate leader was speaking in this vein even before Khrushchev's Moscow press conference at which the Soviet premier seemed to hint that he had thought about the possibility of addressing Congress and would like to do it. The official Russian text quoted him as saying: "The United States Congress is legislative body and in the first place I do not know whether it will be in session during my visit Here in our country I bestow upon our distinguished foreign visitors the honor of speaking from that high rostrum and listen to them with pleasure at meetings of the Supreme Soviet. I do not know if such a custom exists in all countries." This will doubtless confirm Senator Johnson in his opinion JULIE ANDREWS SAYS COODBY TO ELIZA DOOLITTLE LONDON.

For when he confronted Eisenhower with the same view he is giving Senators, the President appeared startled and then nonchalant. Eisenhower said very casually that he thought everybody knew we argued about our differences in public. Another factor has occured to observers which Senator Johnson naturally would not stress in his own arguments. It is that Senators might also feel impelled to wash some of the Soviet's dirty linen in public while Khrushchev is here, provided that great national forum, the Senate floor, were open to them. Many Senators will not mind having a fixed deadline for adjournment.

Some things get lost in i forced stampede for the exits, but it frequently acts also as a catalyst for "must" lists of legislation. A 30-Day Wonder? It is not true that Congress, despite the reputation of Washington summers, universally longs to go home early and is sacrificing itself to remain here. They have increasingly preferred their thoroughly air-con ditioned "slavery" on Capitol Hill to making themselves available during hot summer days to the home folks. About the present political temper, which seems to be favorable both to the President and Vice President, Senator Johnson is a philosopher. He feels there will be a lot of "30-day wonders" occurring between now and the next election.
