(Monday nets, wires, mags)
The major stories of the day:
-- LBJ's heart attack death at 64 announced at 6:40 and nets
w/12-16 minute film hilites of his career and mixed (Sevareid)
to warm (Smith-Reasoner) commentaries. Focus on his unique
power on US scene, his record of domestic programs --
"greatest flow of compassionate legisl. 11 ever, said Cronkite,
his support for most far-reaching civil rights bill ever and his
eventual undoing by the VN war. (Report and reaction at end of summary.)
