Surprise guest Johnson attends Douglas birthday party in DC
President Johnson joined Justice William O Douglas at a private Washington dinner honoring the Justice as he neared a 50 year tenure on the Supreme Court. Sen. Stuart Symington said Johnson spoke briefly and stayed about 90 minutes before returning to the White House after attending Rep. Clarence Cannon’s funeral in Elsberry Missouri. Censorship: the Army reportedly barred publication of a critical article on Pentagon policy by retired Lt. Gen. Garrison H. Davidson in an official Ft Leavenworth magazine. The edit decision cited inconsistency with policy and risk of public critique by a senior commander. Foreign aid: the House Foreign Affairs Committee rejected new efforts to cut Johnson’s 3.4 billion aid bill, with action delayed to next week.
