WEDNESDAY. JULY 6, 1960 Johnson Enters Nomination Fight WASHINGTON (/P) Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson formally jumped into the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination yesterday. He said he expects to be the party's choice in Los Angeles. The Texan made his announcement at a nationally tele- vised news conference in the au ditorium of the new Senate Office Building before a packed crowd of reporters and applauding John son partisans. Johnson said he hadn't come out for the nomination earlier be cause Congress was in session and "somebody has to tend the store." This referred to his duties as Sen ate majority leader. But a campaign committee has been working hard for him for some time. In opening the news confer ence by reading a prepared statement, Johnson made no di rect claims for himself, but in in the question and answer ses sion later he asserted, I am a candidate for president and I expect to be nominated presi dent." Johnson did not make any spe cific delegate claims of his own. He said merely his friends had told him he would have more than 500 votes on the first ballot and that his "chief opponent"—obvi ously Sen. John F. Kennedy would have less than 600. It will take 761 votes to win the nomination. The Texan did not mention Kennedy by name at any point. But a number of his comments were clearly jabs aimed in the direction of the Massachusetts senator. "Those who have engaged in ac tive campaigns have missed hun dreds of these Senate votes," he said. "This I could not do for my country or my party." Johnson's prepared statement was written in a rather low and solemn key. It laid great stress on the serious world situation and the problems which will confront the next president. Speaking of foreign affairs. Johnson said the gueilion not so much a need for a new policy as improvement in execution of the old policy. "Some live wires" are needed for running things in that field, he said. Johnson pictured himself as an experienced government official; one who had known "the presi dency and the men in it in timately" since 1937.
