Friday, November , 1968 THE MIC,,,HIGAN DAILY Rage Three FrdaNoebe , 98 TEMQIANDLYPgThe The '64 WASHINGTON' (P) T h e three leading candidates for President have been crisscross- ing America for months, each telling voters he can handle the country's problems better than either of his opponents. Civil rights, crime and labor have been among the key do-, mestic issues as the candidates with mfllions of words, have de- fended their own records and at- tacked those of their foes. But what are the records that lie behind that oratory? What, ' for example, was Independent party candidate George C. Wal- lace's record on labor legislation when he was governor of Ala- bama? And what -is Democratic nominee Hubert H. Humphrey's record on crime? Or Republican Richard M. Nixon's record on civil rights? CIVIL RIGHTS' AS MAYOR OF MINNEA- POLIS in 1946; Humphrey es- tablished a Mayor's Council on Human Relations to deal with alleged racial discrimination. He also won passage of the nation's first municipal fair employment practices act. At the 1948 Democratic Na- tional Convention, Humphrey led a successful fight for a I candidates: Their domestic records stronger civil rights platform plank. As a member of the Senate from 1949 through 1964 Hum-, phrey voted for the Civil Rights Acts of 1956, 1960 and 1964. He was floor leader for the 1964 bill and received much of the credit for its passage. NIXON SERVED IN THE HOUSE from 1947 through 1950 and the Senate from 1951 through 1952. In 1949, he voted for a bill barring states f r o m making payment of a poll tax a requirement for voting in na- tional elections. In 1950, Nixon voted for a bill establishing a Fair Employment Practices Commission with pow. er to investigate,' recommend and seek voluntary compliance. The bill had been substituted for a compulsory FEPC bill filed by President Truman. As vice president from 1953 through 1960, Nixon was chair- man of the President's Commit- tee on Government Contracts. On May 9, 1957, Nixon asked the heads of federal contracting agencies to deny federal con- tracts to firms practicing racial discrimination. When Congress convened in 1957, Nixon, as president of the Senate, gave an informal opin- ion that Senate rules could be changed by a majority vote. His position supported that of sena- tors seeking to make it easier to stop filibusters aimed at block- ing civil rights legislation. In 1968, Nixon telephoned key Republicans in the House urging them to support the pending civil rights bill with its open housing provision. ' WALLACE FIRST RAN FOR GOVERNOR of Alabama in 19- 58 but was defeated by John Patterson who received the sup- port of the Ku Klux Klan. Wal- lace denounced the klan and was endorsed by the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Colored People. After the gubernatorial elec- tion, Wallace returned to his post as a state circuit court judge. When the U.S. Civil Rights Commission asked to see voting records of counties with- in his juducial district, Wallace took possession of the records and threatened to jail any com- mission staff member who tried to get them. A federal judge ordered Wal- lace to give up the records. He refused and was cited for con- tempt. Wallace later turned the records over to grand juries and was acquitted of the contempt charge. Elected governor in 1962, Wal- lace closed h i s inaugural ad- dress with the cry: "Segrega- tion now. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever." In 1963 he stood in the admin- istration building doorway at the University of Alabama to block entrance of two black stu- dents. President Kennedy feder- alized the Alabama National Guard and Wallace stepped aside on orders of the guard commander. Wallace called the Alabama legislature into special session on Sept. 21, 1964, to adopt a res- THURSDAY and FRIDAY FORBIDD.EN -PLANET' Directed by Fred Wilcox, 1956 "The best of the inter-stellar science fiction produc- tions of the 50's."-Pauline Koel 7:6&9:05 75c ARCHITECTURE 662-8871 AUDITORIUM l'\ "A FRENCH 'TOM JONES'I" "GRACEFUL AND WICKED! ,QUITE BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGANT...

On Nov. 23, 1965, Wal- lace asked a federal court in -Montgomery to bar enforcement of the 1965 federal, Voting Rights Act on the grounds it was unconstitutional. His motion was denied. On Sept. 2, 1966, he signed a bill which he had proposed to nullify all existing compliance agreements by Alabama school boards with federal integration guidelines.. CRIME DURING FOUR YEARS as governor. Wallace proposed and won passage of legislation ex- panding the state police forcer25 percent and creating four re- gional riot control units. In 1963, the legislature passed a Wallace proposal to appropri- ate $5.5 million. to modernize the state prison system. Alabama state police were used to break up a voting rights demonstration at Selma in 1965. When civil rights leaders an- nounced plans to march from Selma to Montgomery, Wallace, with suport from the legisla- ture, declared the state lacked manpower to protect civil rights demonstrators and asked for federal assistance.

AFTER TAKING OFFICE as mayor of Minneapolis, Humph- rey appointed a new police chief andordered him to crack down on crime, particularly gambling and prostitution. He reorganized the police department and ap- pointed a Citizen's Law Enforce- ment Committee. As a senator, Humphrey in troduced legislation to provide federal grants to state programs to combat juvenile delinquency. In 1958, -Humphrey' voted against a proposal to bar ques- tioning of a suspect unless he was first informed of the nature of the accusation and of his rights. In the same session, he opposed a bill to bar federal courts from disqualifying con- fessions solely because of a de- lay in 'bringing the suspect to arraignment.' DURING NIXON'S CAREER in the House and Senate, there was no major legislation deal- ing with crime. Nixon was active while in Congress in internal security matters. He headed the investi- gation that led to the convic- tion of Alger Hiss on a perjury charge in 1949. LABOR NIXON SERVED on the Labor Committees of both the House and Senate. As a member of the oHuse committee in 1947, he helped draft the Taft-Hartley Law. He voted for the bill's passage over a veto by President Harry S. Truman. In 1949, Nixon voted to in- crease grants to states for ad- ministration of unemployment compensation and other em- ploymept programs. The same year he voted to increase the minimum wage to 75 cents an hour. As vice president, he broke a Senate tie in 1956 to support a bill giving state highway depart- ments rather than the secretary of labor the authority to deter- mine wage rates to be paid workers in the interstate high- way system. In 1959, he broke a tie to sup- port a motion retaining in the Landrum-Griffin Labor Act, an amendment designed to pro- tect union members against un- fair actions by their unions. In 1962, while campaigning for governor of California, Nixon opposed a, state right-to-work law. WHILE WALLACE WAS gov- ernor he supported legislation increasing unemployment com- pensation toa$38 a week in 1965, $42 in 1967 and $44 in 1968. He also' supported increasing work- men's compensation from $33 a week to $38 in 1963. A right-to-work law was pass- ed by the Alabama legislature in 1953 after Wallace left that body to become a circuit judge. As governor he opposed repeal of the law. While a member of the legis- lature in 1952, he won passage of the Wallace Industrial Act designed to bring new industry to Alabama. Wallace says this has created 100,000 new jobs. HUMPHREY HAD STRONG labor support when he defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Jo- seph H. Ball in 1948. One cam- paign issue was Ball's vote. in favor of the Taft-Hartley law. In the Senate in 1949, Hum- phrey opposed a bill giving the President power to seek injunc- tions and seize plants in strikes deemed national emergencies. In 1959 Humphrey voted for the Landrum-Griffin bill after, an unsuccessful attempt to de- feat a section designed to pro- tect union members from unfair treatment by their unions. He supported a resolution in 1963 to turn the railroad em- ploye work rules dispute over to an arbitration board and de- clare a moratorium, on strikes on this issue. While in the Senate. Hum- phrey voted for increases in fed- eral minimum wages. He also advocated extension of the Na- tional Labor Relations Act to farm workers. Nixon Wallace the news today b) The Associaed Press and College Press Service PIECES OF THE SCORPION, t h e nuclear-powered submarine which vanished last May, were found yester- day under two miles of water on the Atlantic floor. The Navy identified portions of the hull - irretrievable, because of the depth - about 400 miles southwest of the Azores, using underwater cameras, magnetic sensors and son- ar gear. The submarine disappeared last May with 99 officers and men aboard. Since then, more than 6,000 men, 40 ships and numerous patrol planes have searched for the carcass of the ship in what Chief of Naval Operations Thomas Moorer call- ed "the most extensive sea search ever conducted." Although the Navy would like to recover some of the de- bris, it has virtually no resources for salvaging in such deep water. ISRAELI COMMANDOS slipped into Egypt yesterday and blew up two bridges and a power station on the Nile River, according to Israeli army sources. The government said the action - the first Israeli pene- tration of Egypt since the Six Days' War - was reprisal for "aggressive Egyptian acts" across the Suez in past weeks. GEORGE PAPANDREOU, t h r e e times premier of Greece, died yesterday 24 hours after major surgery. The former premier was ousted from office last year by a military junta.' . * 0 POPE PAUL'S council of cardinals held one of its rare meetings yesterday, touching off reports of a crisis de- veloping in the Vatican. Content of the emergency meeting was not disclosed, but sources speculated that the cardinals discussed how to fight the growing wave of defiance among lay people and priests against the Pope's encyclical banning artificial contraception. Pope Paul recently deplored such disobedience as a sin, and is reportedly preparing a major document emphasizing papal ;authority. " " VIETCONG GUNNERS launched yesterday their first rocket attack on Saigon in more than a month. The attack, which killed three persons and wounded four on the eve of South Vietnam's National Independence Day, came amid widespreac speculation that Hanoi and Washing- ton are near agreement on a bombing halt of the North. TWO UNMANNED SPACESHIPS were launched yes- terday by the Soviet Union, just one day after comple- tion of their manned flight. Although nothing in the brief announcements on the launchings hinted at a space spectacular, the flights opened the possibility that the two new Cosmos may be a direct fol- lowup to the Soyuz 3. NARCOTICS RAIDS led to the arrest of 41 suspect- ed sellers in New Brunswick, N. J. yesterday. A small army of 150 law enforcement officers s w e p t through homes and apartments before dawn in a synchroniz- ed, carefully planned raid - the biggest in New Jersey his- tory. Police said most of the persons arrested lived in a pre- dominantly low-income section of the city. Warrants were is- sued on the basis of purchases - mostly heroin, but also mari- juana - made by a state police agent posing as a narcotics user. WAGE HIKES in major 1 a b o r contracts this year boosted the salaries of 3.4 million workers 7.5 per cent. A Labor Department report showed the pay increases were the highest since the government started keeping tabs on them 15 years ago - and two percentage points over last year's gain. DEMOCRATS PLAN TO SPEND $2.5 million on tele- vision and radio advertising in the last days of the presi- dential campaign. Buoyed by an increase in financial contributions, the Democratic National Committee says it can match Nixon on television time. The Democrats have suffered throughout the campaign due to lack of funds.
