Barbara Howar who was so Little known at the time of the Johnsons inaugural Ball in 1965 that photographers had a hard Lime identifying a picture of her dancing with the president suddenly was getting publicity of the kind every Public re lations firm dreams about for its clients. Once it became known that she was fashion consultant to both Johnson girls and their Mother nearly everyone began to write about her. All this came at a time when Johnson staffers shied away from personalized publicity be cause lbs frowned upon it. The policy has since changed and both Bess and Liz have had a fair share of worldwide recognition.

Johnson in Advance. Liz and Bess Are accused in the article of deliberately miss Pelling the name of Barbara Howar s five year old daughter press releases about the wedding a fact that was pure tragedy in her Young life since it was the Only word she could read in print. Then afterwards the White House never sent Bader a photograph of herself and the wedding party although every one else in town was receiving them in the Mae like White Sale both Bess and Liz refused to comment in any Way on the article when Advance portions were Readi aloud to them Over the phone the most intriguing charges made against them Are Only touched upon briefly in the journal article. Fast action the president could t make or break aides faster than some of his wife s staff could link me with them writes Barbara in the journal. I was kept abreast of my alleged romantic activities by Liz car Penter s husband Les. Had i been Able to summon the strength to indulge All the rumoured romances i would have enjoyed a position of Power rivalled Only by the she continues i was however spared the final irony.
