This is true despite the fact that Johnson has two of his own top lieutenants Cliff Carter, his long-time political aide, and H. William Brawley, former deputy postmaster general and Johnson's liaison man in I960 in key spots in party headquarters.

BUT TWO MEN working behind the scenes and without official titles cannot keep in their hands every detail of the party's mechanical functioning. This is said to have enabled the pro-Kennedy headquarters people to arrange the national committee so that it could be swept by a runaway demand for Bobby for vice president, and deny Johnson the traditional right to pick his own running mate. Johnson is not known to want the attorney general on the ticket. Insiders say he would prefer either of Minn eosta's senators Hubert Humphrey or Eugene McCarthy, and probably several others. MOREOVER, TOP White House aides say the Kennedy nomination would be playing right into GOP hands.

They say Goldwater picked Rep. William E. Miller, a Catholic, as his running mate in an effort to force Johnson to tap Kennedy who is highly unpopular in the business community and the South.

Probably more significant in the President's estimation was the fact that the actual deficit came in $500 million under the estimate of last May. The President attributed recent savings to ceilings on federal manpower and a continuing drive to cut government operating costs. Federal civilian employment in the executive branch on June 30 stood at 2,468,700 employes, down 21,000 from the payroll of a year ajgo, Johnson said. There was an 18 per cent decrease in the net dollar outflow for federal programs amounting to $500 million. "We will continue the drive to close down or curtail any installation which is not necessary to perform essential functions," Johnson said.

Persistently, the President tried to avoid open crit-cism of the man who will face him at the polls i November. The President made it clear that "at this point," he was not going to get involved in personalities. In other developments, the President disclosed that the United States and Britain jointly touched off a low-yield nuclear test blast at the Atomic Energy Commissi on's proving ground in Nevada Friday. Johnson said the test was successful.

Johnson showed obvious concern over what he seemed to feel was organized violence by small groups hiding their identities.

He remarks ap-p a aimed at such groups as the Kux Klan, though he mentioned none by name. "I condemn, as do most Americans, the use of violence and terror "the clandestine hate organizations," he said. The President said he wanted to discuss "the entire subject of effective political action to secure human rights." Asked specifically whether he included the Klan and the John Birch, Society in the category of "hate" organizations, he replied: "I refer to all hate organizations under whatever name they mask and prowl and spread their venom." A reference to "small groups who mask their identity" obviously meant the Klan. Again without mentioning names, the President challenged Goldwater's promise, if elected, to curb violence in the streets. Asked whether he thought this was an area of federal responsibility, Johnson said the federal government had no police force and he would like to see "the other parties" spell out their proposals.

Ther? are some, he said, who regard such a proposal as having grave implications of a "serious takeover of law enforcement" (by the federal government). "If we are going to give the federal government responsibility for all law enforcement, I think people would believe this would do more than anything else to concentrate power in Washington," the President said. The President's review of the fiscal year ended June 30 includes figures that showed expenditures of $97.7 billion, about $700 million under the revised estimate of last January. The spending estimate when the late President Kennedy originally submitted a 1964 budget to Congress in January, 1973, was $98.8 billion. Receipts, the President said, were $89.4 billion, up $2.5 billion from the original 1964 budget estimate (Scntlnd THOUSANDS OF FRACILE, MANY-IIUED ORCHIDS GREKT VISITORS Living Color Photo by Harold Kylt) OitIuM Onlrr's eypfilling prrpnlioune linplay ojipii to public today In Sen Of lllooms IcirillCr Held 'a, Koynolor Crowds Visit Orchid Greenhouse Opening 'True' Conservatives To Meet In Houston By RHODES CONKLIN Sn.nd staff People love orchids.

Goldwater. A former Constitution party leader, Kent Kourtney of New Orleans, publisher of the right- wing paper "The I dependent Americans," is the leader of Independent Americans for Gold-water. The Constitution party's platforms in the past have called for the repeal of the income tax, withdrawal from the United Nations and breaking of diplomatic relations with all Communist and socialist nations.

Spears, 21, Palo Alto, and David Owen, 19, Pasadena, were returning to a Negro church after a day of voter registration work when they were assaulted. Lelyveld told police two men followed them in a pickup truck as they walked through town, then leaped out and attacked them. The older man wielded a length of pipe, the rabbi said.

In St. Augustine the Ku Klux Klan Saturday night planned a cross-burning and rally on the heels of new violence in the troubled old city.

He said many of the 100 attending the services were trampled in the confusion and some were trapped under wooden benches in the tent. Dispatch To The Srntincl HOUSTON The Constitution party opens its national convention here Thursday vowing not to support Sen. Barry Gold-water because he is "too flexible to be a true conservative." Jack Carswell, Houston funeral director and Texas party chairman, said Alabama Gov. George Wallac is the favorite to win the party's presidential nomination "if he pledges not to support Goldwater." WALLACE HAD been invited to make the keynote address at the opening session of the convention Thursday but he declined, Carswell said. And Wallace has not yet indicated whether he will accept the party's nomination.

Wallace is due to speak in Houston Tuesday, sponsored by the local chapter of the Citizens Councils of America. Richard Troxell of IIous ton, the convention secretary, said Wallace has been evasive about his wil lingness to be the party's candidate, but added: "He has not said no." Last month, Troxell said, Wallace's executive secretary, Earl C. Morgan, met in Austin with Constitution party officials. Wallace showed interest in getting on the ballot in Texas thro ugh the Constitution party. He could not get on the ballot otherwise.

EVEN IF Wallace is available, Carswell said, his nomination is not assured Another possible candidate is the party national chairman, Curtis B. Dall of Philadelphia. He will serve as temporary convention chairman. "One thing is certain," Carswell said. "We will not give our support to Goldwater.

He keeps backing down on what he says. He is too flexible to be a true conservative. The Constitution Party is not flexible when it comes to the Constitution." Carswell said about 200 delegates from about 27 states will attend the convention, although voting delegates will come from a dozen states where the party is on the ballot. CARSWELL RAN for Texas governor in 1962 and received 7,200 votes out of about 1,600,000. Thursday's keynote address will be made by a retired Marine Corps Lt.
