(1) 5 Feb 1968 Dear Jack. VIVA!

   I enclose our hero, "EV" - The 72 years old Bismarck of the G.O.P.
   My 1968 "World Almanac" informs me there are 3,356,485,000 souls "on stage" NOW.  North America has 299,022,000 and Asia boasts 1,868,979,000, over 50% of the world's total.
   I believe Everett McKinley Dirksen of Illinois is the only fellow who can straighten out those 1,868,979,000 Asians with their multiple tongues, faiths, customs and deplorable allergy to the United States Marine Corps and underlined:  "Pax Lyndonia".
   Let Illinois struggle along with Percy, J. Diggles and F. T Walsh, that great anti-tobacco reformer and Oak Parker.

Polish Joke:

  Did you hear of the Polack who had an Anus-transplant?   underlined: IT Rejected him!

end of Polish Joke.

   Please inform Tillery that Tues 6 feb (tomorrow) I am 9,000 days AA!  I'm going for 10,000 - underlined:  "1-Day-at-a-Time."
   I understand L B Johnson sneaks into a High-Espiscopalian [sic]
