BY DAVID LAWRENCE. “Thumbs down on the college pro- fessors.” ‘This is the new slogan on Capitol Hill among Democrats of leadership status, as well as some of the rank and file. It represents a quiet but none- theless plain-spoken criticism of the group which has surrounded President- former members of the House and well ping an comara legislative compromises.

It’s the same old conflict between the practical and the theoretical, the aca- demic and the concrete business experience. But there is something more.

If he keeps the col- lege fessors for anything except re- search and expert consultation on spe- cial problems, he will be running into some unfortunate irritation, signs of which are evident already.
