WASHINGTON—(NEA)—The consensus at the black tie din-

in the U.S. Senate was that tne Virginia gentleman appie grower
will run for re-election in 1964.

his mind?"
Johnson in turn asked his long-time desk-mate Byrd and got
the cryptic reply, “I just couldn’t let Bob down."
"It was the only time," Kerr commented later, "that Harry
Byrd ever paid a damned bit of attention to any of my
speeches."
THESE WERE JUST A COUPLE of the highlights at the
Smithfield (Virginia) ham and (imported) champagne dinner
which the Reader’s Digest gave for some 300 of Byrd's col-
leagues and admirers to mark—a month late—the 30th anni-
versary at his original appointment to the U.S. Senate, March
4, 1933.
"Just think of it” said the Digest's executive editor
Hobart Lewis, who presided, "Senator Byrd has been down
here holding his finger in the dyke all this time. We wanted
to title an article about him, ‘Profile Is Courage,’* but de-
cided not to.”

lived in this age, he would have put out his lantern and gone

. AT THE END THEY GAVE the senator a golden apple be-
cause,'as Lewis said:
“We hope all your endeavors will bear fruit and that
aU of your days will be golden."
“I hope these can be raised on my trees,” said Byrd. Some-
body had pointed out earlier that in all his years as an apple,
grower, Byrd had never taken one soil conservation payment
irom the government and had never sold the government one i
apple.
That characterized him as well as anything said all evening.

General Edward Burleson, elected Vice-President of the Re-
public in 1841, was a noted phonetic speller, Examples of his
spelling: “no” for know, “bin" for been, "hoarse’’ for horse,
"heare” for here. Burleson was a famous Indian fighter, the
first Commander-in-Chief of the Texas Army and commanded a
regiment at San Jacinto. At various times he was a member
of the Republic's House of Representatives and Senate. He laid
out the town of Waterloo (Austin). Texas, incidentally, re-
ceived a clear title to the ground occupied by the capitol and
other state buildings in 1935. The Burleson engraving, above,
is used through courtesy of John H. Jenkins, Austin, who ia
writing a biography of Burleson under a grant from the Daugh-
tres of the Republic of Texas. Jenkins would like to hear from
anyone owning Burleson letters.

General Ripley was the third ’
annual salary of $25,000 of the “early Presidents of Tex-
must be set up by common ac-
cord and not imposed bp force.”
The Pope's implied suggestion
for putting teeth into the United
Nations is not new. The charter
provides for a U.N. military force
to carry out Security Council di-
rectives, but the major powers
never have been able to agree
on its make-up.
The pontificial appeal for ne-
gotiation echoes the pursuit of
"quiet diplomacy" practiced ef-
fectively by Secretary General
Thant and his predecessor, the
late Dag Hammarskjold.
Thant’s U. N. Creed
Pope John's encyclical recalled
the U. N. creed enunciated by
Thant at a news conference last
September.
“I am convincned that this
world is heading for a synthesis.” I
Thant said. "If we may recall a
