CONCORD, N.H. (T )- President Johnson squeaked out a
New Hampshire primary victory Tuesday but Sen. Eugene
J. McCarthy ballooned his anti-Vietnam war campaign into
a national crusade with a surprisingly close second place
finish.
In a popularity test in which his Asian policies became
the overriding issue, Johnson got a bare 50 per cent of the
Democratic votes cast. McCarthy, a principal war critic,
polled 40 per cent of the vote - far higher than even he had
expected.
Without a major opponent on the ballot, former Vice
President Richard M. Nixon rolled up 79 per cent of the Re-

U. Chicago
Withdraws
From IDA
CHICAGO-The Council of the
University Senate of the Univer-
situ of Chicago yesterday recom-
mended that the school withdraw
from its membership in the In-
stitute for Defense Analyses
(IDA).
The recommendation issued by
the council, Chicago's highest fac-
ulty body, will now go to the uni-
versity's Board of Trustees, the
school's governing board. It is ex-
pected that the board will approve
the recommendation. In the past,
trustee approval of advisories from
the Council has been a formality.
No exact vote of the Council
was released, although the meas-
ure was approved by "a large ma-
jority."
Last month the "Goldsmith
Committee," a faculty study com-
mittee established to look into the
school's ties with IDA, recom-
mended Chicago withdrawal on
the basis that "the university
neither gains from, nor really con-
tributes to IDA."
Immediately
At that time, Prof. George Stig-
ler of Chicago's economics de-
partment and a member of the
Council said, "If and when the
University announces it is severing
ties with IDA. it will do so imme-
diately."
The Goldsmith committee was
established last October by then-
President George Beadle, in re-
sponse to student charges that the
university's membership in IDA
was a contribution to the Vietnam
War effort.
In the committee's recommenda-
tions to the Council, however, it
was pointed out that "we are not
concerned with IDA stands, hawk,
