LBJ '64 Campaign Patterns Indicated
WASHINGTON —(UPI) — Backstairs at the White House:
President Johnson has not done much open politicking from the White House, but he has started forming some of his electioneering patterns for 1964.

AND THERE were the throngs of people at places where Johnson stopped, whom he thrilled with personal forays to shake hundreds of hands while security agents held their breath and hunched shoulders to ease his way.
The Chief Executive's trip to St. Louis last Friday gave some "nonpolitical" samples of what those patterns will be when Johnson campaigns for re-election.

The squeals and whoops of teenagers which used to greet Kennedy, but never had particulary been identified with Johnson, were evident in this midwestern trip for him as Chief Executive.
The President's speech at a dinner marking St. Louis' bicentennial assailed what he called "twisted arguments" of persons denouncing U.S. policies at home or abroad for political gain.
And there were a number of signs — "LBJ in 1964" and "LBJ Is A-Okay."

The President did not mention any Republican contenders for his job, but the implication was there.
HE HAD SOUNDED a similar theme several days earlier, addressing internal revenue agents in the East Room of the White House, when he assailed "bellyachers" who were critical of U.S. policies.
The indication, from at least these two appearances, was that Johnson would be striking out for some time to come with a general defense
Insurance Group To Meet Saturday
Professional insurance men and women will meet Saturday here in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Among those attending will be members of the Kansas and the Kansas City chapters of Chapter Property Casualty Underwriter (C.P.C.U.) and Chartered Life Underwriter (C.L.U.). Harold C. Krogh, professor of business administration, said.

The President injected a non-political note in his St. Louis appearance by paying tribute to Missouri legislators of both parties.
Need a Ride?
But on his flight here, he was accompanied by four Democratic Congressmen from Missouri and one from Illinois.
REPUBLICAN leaders have indicated over recent days that they will be basing much of their attack on Johnson on foreign issues, since he seems to have domestic matters fairly well under control.
In one of his two St. Louis speeches, Johnson geared himself to meet assaults from any extreme. He said his administration would condone neither "battleship diplomacy" nor "the umbrella of appeasement."

While Johnson mentioned no names or issues, his "battleship diplomacy" point could have referred to Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater's proposal that Marines turn on the Guantanamo Naval Base water supply that the Cubans cut off two weeks ago.
Formal sorority rush at KU will be held for transfer students and others eligible for the first time immediately preceding fall orientation. Emily Taylor, Dean of Women, announced today.
This is the first time fall rush will be held since the fall of 1961. The regular spring formal rushing period, held mainly for freshmen who have attended KU one semester, will be maintained.
Sororities Plan Fall Rush Again
KU women are allowed to participate in only one formal rush, but may participate in informal rush throughout the year if they participate, but do not pledge during the regular rushing period.
Details of rushing procedures for the new rushing period will be worked out by the new members of the Panhellenic Council, which assumes duties this spring.
AN ENGLISH AUTOMOBILE manufacturer has introduced a sports car with fully automatic transmission. Rootes Motors said it hopes this will boost sales of its Sunbeam Alpine, since many in the 18-25 age group have never learned to operate a manual gear shift.
Reader's Digest Awards $1,000 For Study Abroad
KU has received the Institute of International Education - Reader's Digest Foundation Award for Distinguished Service in international education and cultural relations.
The award honors an unusual record of commitment to international education, beginning early in
The citation describes the University of Kansas as "a publicly-supported midwestern institution which has both welcomed increasing hundreds of foreign students to Lawrence, and provided American undergraduates and American faculty with meaningful experiences in foreign countries."
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe accepted the $1,000 award from Lucius D. Battle, assistant secretary of state, at the Fifth Conference on International Education, in Washington, D.C. The grant is intended to "contribute to an overseas experience for a member of the academic community who is deeply involved in the campus international program."
this century with substantial foreign student enrollments. Last fall they reached a total of 423 students from 65 foreign countries.
Other contributions to international education include a pioneering program in foreign student orientation for the U.S. State Department, three centers devoted to better understanding of the Slavic and Soviet, East Asian, and Latin American areas, exchanges between the University of the Philippines and the KU Schools of Medicine, and a summer language institute which flies KU summer session students to Europe for two months' language study in France, Spain, Germany, and Finland.
A University dean estimated recently that 1,000 KU students went overseas last summer.

Good news
for aficionados of medium-cubed V-8's who prefer to remain shiftless!
Four-on-the-floor is fine but not everyone's cup of tea. If you're an automatic devotee, we think you'll be cheered by what Ford Motor Company transmission engineers have designed in the way of exciting goodies to go with our new hotter V-8 mills in the medium-displacement class.
It's a spanking new 3-speed automatic drive that adds more hustle without extra muscle in Comet, Fairlane and Ford models for '64. Among its many virtues: less avoirdupois . . . fewer parts . . . smoother take-offs . . . up to 35% more go in Low . . . extra braking in downhill work . . . whisper-quiet in Neutral . . . quarterback-style passing performance!
The men at Ford who design such intricacies as transmissions are not just walking slide rules or talking computers. They're men who get excited about cars and the fun of
driving them. They enjoy meeting challenges like "Design a new automatic drive with 4-speed stick-shift performance built right in." Frankly, they are among the most avid car buffs around and it shows in their work!
More proof of the exciting things that happen at Ford Motor Company to bring brighter ideas and better-built cars to the American Road.
