Elections Produce Enthusiastic
Response from Nero Leaders'
WASHINGTON (R) - Republi-
cans firmed up their base for the
1968 presidential contest by cap-
turing the Kentucky State House
in Tuesday's elections, but Demo-
crats were cheered by retaining
their holds on the big cities of
Philadelphia and Cleveland.
Democrat Carl B. Stokes, a
Negro, demonstrated by his elec-
tion as mayor of Cleveland that
it is possible for one of his race
to take the top office in a major
city even where Negroes are a
minority.
He takes a place in history as
the first Negro to accomplish
that.
The 40-year-old lawyer could
be one of the big guns of 1968
Democratic campaigning, parti-
cularly in areas with a large Ne-
gro vote.
Mayor James I. Tate's reelec-
tion in Philaedlphia is another
important one for the Democrats.
The patronage and power that go
with the mayor's office can be
decisive in a close statewide elec-
tion.
Vietnam Referendums
For President Johnson, who
presumably will seek another
term in the White House in next
year's election, it was heartening
that San Francisco decisively
turned down a ballot proposition
for U.S. withdrawal from Viet-
nam.
The referendum vote was 2 to
1 against a pullout.
A Vietnam vote was also on the
ballot in Cambridge, Mass., but
the result may not be known for
three weeks.
On the other side of the Viet-
nam question, there was the fac-
tor that Louis B. Nunn, success-
ful GOP candidate for governor
of Kentucky, had made it an issue
in his campaign.
"Tired of the War?" one of his
slogans asked. "Vote Nunn."
In other city contests which
attracted particular national at-
tention, Richard G. Hatcher, Ne-
gro Democrat, was elected mayor
,of Gary, Ind., and Kevin White
won in Boston over Mrs. Louise
Day Hicks, foe of busing Negro
children to white schools.
In Gary, where the outcome
teetered. uncertainly thro u g
much of the night, Hatcher was
certified yesterday by the Lake
County Election Board as the
winner by 1,389 votes in the city
of 180,000 population.
But Republican Joseph Radi-
gan, a white businessman, kept
open the possibility of a court
challenge.
Democrat segregationist John
Bell Williams ,was elected gover-
nor of Mississippi by a whopping
majority.
Looking to 1968, Nunn's elec-
tion as governor of Kentucky
means that when he takes office
next year the Republicans will
hold a majority of 50 governor-
ships for the first time since 1954.
The division by parties will
shift from the present 25-25 to ,
26-24 for the GOP.
Those 26 Republican states will
have a total of 304 electoral votes,
34 more than needed to name a
president.
Aside from the Kentucky vic-
tory, GOP National Chairman Ray
C. Bliss pointed to the elections
for the New Jersey legislature as:

In Washington, congressional
supporters of President Johnson's

as a victory. But advocates of de-
escalation termed the result
meaningless.

lican who recently has attacked

dustry pact won at Ford Motor
Co. through a 46-day strike that
ended two weeks ago, but in-
cluded one major benefit not
gained there - wage parity for
Canadian workers.
The company said Canadian
workers, now some 40 cents an
hour behind their American coun-
terparts, would draw even with
the U.S. workers over the three-
year life of the pact.
The Ford pact gave some 160,000
auto workers at that company
wage and benefit increase over
three years of roughly $1 an hour
over the current scale of $4.70.
That pact was valued at 6 per
cent. With wage parity the Chry-
sler pact likely will be somewhat
higher - there are 12,000 Chry-
sler workers in Canada - but
neither side placed an estimate
on it.
Sudden suspension of the talks
left several questions unanswered
as bargainers hastened home for
'sleep before a scheduled return
to the table Thursday.
With the status of salaried
workers still up in the air there
was n6 way to gauge the impact
on Thursday's production.
Car output was reduced to 36
per cent and truck production
cut to zero Wednesday as work-
ers in four states jumped the
gun on the midnight strike dead-
line.
THIS WEEKEND
NEW YORK (P) - The broad
victories, some of them historic,
won by Negroes in Tuesday's elec-
tion brought uniform - smiles to
the faces of moderate and mili-
tant Negro leaders yesterday,
along with cautious predictions
that a trend to disregard color
may have begun.
Few were as enthusiastic as
A. W. Willis, defeated in last sum-
mer's primary election as a can-
didate for mayor of Memphis,
Tenn.
"We're going to see the elec-
tion of more and more Negroes
... acceptance by the white com-
munity of responsible Negro of-
ficeholders will become. more and
more a normal happening," Willis
said.
Elect Negro Mayors
"The election of Negro mayors
in Cleveland, Ohio, and Gary,
Ind., signifies a stunning defeat
for black militants who argue
that gains can't be won by the
ballot," said Sen. Edward W.
Brooke (R-Mass.), himself the
first Negro elected to the Senate
since Reconstruction. ". . . It
shows the American Negrohe can
achieve through lawful means,"
Brooke said.
But he warned that "the hun-
gry, those with no jobs, those liv-
ing in deplorable conditions are
going to take little hope from the
elections in Gary and Cleveland."
'Living Proof'
Whitney M. Young Jr., direc-
tor of the National Urban League,
said Democrat Carl B. Stokes'
successful battle in Cleveland,
and the narrow election of Demo-
crat Richard G. Hatcher in Gary,
are "living proof of what polit-
ical organization and wise use of
the ballot can do to benefit any
group."

Those victories plus the defeat
in Boston of Louise Day Hicks, an
opponent of busing to provide ra-
cial balance in public schools,
show, Young said, "that while the
backlash is there, it is not as pow-
erful as the demagogues would
have us believe."
In addition to those and. other
Northern victories, Negroes were
elected for the first time since
Reconstruction to the state legis-
latures of Virginia and possibly
Mississippi.
Six Negroes captured county
supervisor, constable and justice
of the peace posts in Mississippi,
bringing to 24 the number of Ne-
gro officeholders in that state,
while James M. Bradby defeated
a white incumbent who had held
the post of sheriff in Charles
City County, Va., for 43 years.
