In & Out

Candidates and noncandidates of the past week:

> New York's Senator Jacob Javits called a press conference in Manhattan to reveal "the political surprise of the year." To the astonishment of absolutely no one, the liberal Republican, a formidable vote getter in New York, announced for a third Senate term. Though Javits has intensified his criticism of the President's war policies and demanded an end to the bombing of North Viet Nam, the Administration has yet to find a candidate to run against him. Thus far, only two comparative lightweights, Democratic Congressmen Joseph Resnick and Otis Pike, have announced for the race.

> Just over a month ago, Texas Radio-TV Millionaire Gordon McLendon announced that "as partial payment for all the good things that have come my way in life," he would run for the Governor's office being vacated this year by John Connally. Abruptly last week the maverick Democrat appeared on 26 Texas television stations to withdraw his largesse. McLendon has decided that "our nation is without leadership, and you and I are going broke." Therefore he disdains to lead Lyndon Johnson's state out of the morass. He did, however, offer the President some advice. The U.S., he said, must abandon all of its commitments abroad, become a neutralist nation and henceforth leave attempts to solve the world's headaches to the Communists. McLendon will hardly be missed in the Texas race: ten other Democrats and three Republicans are already campaigning for Connally's job.
