Age To Be Admitted! Editor's note: The 36th President of the United States fit no stereotypes, and perhaps that was one reason why he lost touch with the people, or they with him. This article, the first of five, examines the paradoxes of Johnson the man. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Almost from the day he was born, it seemed, Lyndon Baines Johnson had the makings of a president-right alongside those elements that would contribute to the breaking of a president. The story of his life could be told in such paradox. Perhaps his wife, Lady Bird, put it best, years later.

Recalling her first encounter with the impetuous young Texan, she said; "I knew I had met something remarkable, but 1 didn't know quite what." Millions understand now what she meant. Remarkable? Indeed. No one who chanced into that swirling, magnetic orbit could forget the experience. Lyndon Baines Johnson exuded a raw, frontier kind of strength; physically and psychologically, he overwhelmed. Apart from his mentor, Franklin D.

Roosevelt, perhaps no other public man in this century--not even John F. Kennedy, whose elegant ghost haunted Johnson to the end-- understoodso well the sources of power in the world's most powerful capital--or knew, in LBJ's idiom, which burton to mash, and how hard, to make things happen. That this talent, "the Johnson treatment," a vailed him little at the end did not diminish its impressiveness while it worked. Lady Bird was right on another count, too. From the moment he set foot in Washington in 1931 as a congressional secretary to the moment he flew back to Texas in 19C9 after relinquishing the presidency, nobody really knew quite what Lyndon Johnson was all about.

He was a study in contradictions. He was from the South, but no orthodox Southerner; from. Texas, but not the stereotyped Texan; harsh and domineering with subordinates, yet capable of great kindness; a Democrat's Democrat, but no ideologue. He could be eloquent and moving and persuasive in one moment, and orate like a man dictating to a stonecutter in the next. He could be open, ingratiating, simple, transparent.

And he could be fiercely secretive, offensive, jealous, and enormously complex. Johnson whipped through Congress more civil rights legislation than any president in history. Yet when he left the presidency, the nation's racial divisions were deeper than ever. No president spent as much money and forged as much legislation to improve the quality of education, But at the end, the students and intellectuals were shouting for his scalp. He pulled the country together when it was stumbling about in a daze after John Kennedy's murder.

A year later the people were shouting "All the way with LBJ" and he won election in his own right by the biggest landslide in history to that time. But by 1968 the shouts in some antiwar quarters had turned to "Hey, Hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" and his land was plagued by the greatest divisiveness since the Civil War. There probably were more people out in the country like him than like his predecessor. Johnson was purely and aggressively American--a true frontier president in the tradition of Andy Jackson. But in the final judgment of his countrymen, it simply was not the time for a meat-and-potatoes man.

Nor was it the lime for Johnson's consensus politics-- "There'sgot to be some common meeting ground for everyone." That may well have been the remedy the nation needed; it was not what the nation wanted. "In a sense," liberal Democrat Daniel P. Moynihan Richard Nixon a year later, Lyndon Johnson "was the first American president to be top- LOSE UGLY FAT pled by a mob. No matter that it was a mob of college professors, millionaires, flower children, and Radcliffe girls. It was a mob that by early 1968 had effectively physically separated the presidency from the people." And it happened to a man who had told the nation in 1965, in perhaps his most eloquent and memorable address: "I want to be the president who helped to end hatred among his fellow men and who promoted love among the people of all races and all regions and all parties.

"I want to be the president who helped to end war among the brothers of this earth." It was not to be. The currents of the 1960s were running strong, if silent, well before Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath on that nightmarish Nov. 22, 1963. And later, reflectively, he said it simply was not given to him to lead the country out of itself.

He referred to his manner, his style, and said he was handicapped by "a general inability to stimulate, inspire, and unite all the people of the country, which I think is an essential function of the presidency. "I have never really believed that I was the man to do that particular never really felt that with all of my experience and my training and whatever expertise I had in 35 years of public service, that in the last analysis the people of every section would say, 'You tell us where to go and we'll 1 just never did believe From the beginning, he was bedeviled by the word "style." He was a Texan in a city that had shed much of its Southernness and blended in with the East coast; a city that had made Jack Kennedy's Harvard accent its symbol, that reacted to the sudden new drawl as to scratching on a blackboard. He deemed his critics snobs.

AP Former Gov. Warren E. Hearnes warned public officials Tuesday to "beware of gifts from Washington." At the same is involved for Missouri alone, Hearnes said, "This whole executive concept of power over the highway fund is wrong." The former governor said, "If I have learned but one thing in my 22 years as an official of Missouri government, it is beware of gifts from Washington." As he did in his farewell message to the 1973 legislature, Hearnes said he hoped the judges in small towns went into the senate hopper. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
