Tuesday, November 5, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Tuesday, November 5, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three THE THEME OF CAMPAIGN '68: 'The name of the game is heckling By BERNARD GAYZER Associated Press Staff Writer No candidate was spared it. Some had to tilt with all the typical tactics of heckling the gibe, the taunt, the insult, the rude questions. Heckling had become a fixture of the 1968 presidential campaign. It was contagious and the way *t seemed to pop up raised sus- picions that perhaps heckling was part of a plot, or that people were being paid to do it. No other mod- ern American political campaign has had heckling on such a scale. "The whole thing is sparked and led by the Communists," con- Sluded Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, vice presidential candidate of Gov. George C. Wallace's American In- dependent party. And Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey told one rally: "I think you should just as well know that there's a determined effort being *aade in this country today by a very small group of well-disci- plined, highly organized people who have m de it their business to interrupt 'me." He named no names. Nor did LeMay. $ut a reporter who traveled thousands of miles with five of the six presidential and vice presi- dential candidates-LeMay was in Vietnam at the time-could find THE EXAM SECRET SUCCESSFUL TECHNIQUES FOR PASSING EXAMS no evidence that even the most active and irritating of hecklers dogged the heels of any candidate, or that the themes were settby any single secret group, or that hidden financing was provided by a conspiracy. Nor was any such evidence, so far as is known, uncovered by the nation's two prime intelligence and investigative agencies: the FBI and Secret Service. "I'm sure the Communists like the disorder as they would like anything that serves to hurt the image of America," says a key FBI agent who cannot be named, "but as far as evidence indicates this just is not their show." "My personal feeling is that you can't be as organized as the hecklers are without money, time, talent and strategy," says a Secret Service agent, "but I don't have anything to go on as far as tying everybody together. There are leaders, all right, but I can't say there is any special meaning to that." The Secret Service has 24-hour details with each of the candi- dates and each team makes full reports on all events relating to security problems. If any known hecklers posed a threat, special steps would be taken to keep them from possible contact. 3020 Washtenaw, Ph. 434-1782 Between Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor This is a Remarkable Motion Picture Based on fact Individuals who have made threats have been placed in " pro- tective security" when the can- didate is in their area. Several leaders of various radical move- ments say they know of no cases of radicals and hecklers getting such treatment. The similar tactics and the speed with which a slogan or sign moves across the country raised suspicion that perhaps all these things have been masterminded. But this is mainly the product of America's highly sophisticated communications technology. A chant in Syracuse, N.Y., may be instantly transmitted in sound and photographs, or recorded on tape, and turn up on the 6 o'clock news across the country and all the hamlets between. The chant is heard that evening in Alamogordo, N.M. News media rapidly transmit stories and photos, broadcasters relay reports or interviews or the sound of the hecklers themselves. That is, all the permissible stuff. A sign read- ing "Wallace is Rosemary's Baby," or "Dump the Hump" or "Agnew Gesundheit" moves quickly. The four-letter ones are gener- ally reported in the underground press, and move across the coun- try more slowly. Wallace often has used hecklers to his own advantage, taunting them, assuring them that t h e i r actions only earn him votes. Hes refers to them as "long-haired an- archists." Muskie, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, occasion- ally handled them by allowing hecklers speaking time - and usually the hecklers were o u t - classed. Humphrey sometimes has lectured them, sometimes explod- ed, and apparently emerged from determined interruptors with some sympathy. Richard M. Nixon, the Repub- lican presidential nominee, has had comparatively few hecklers. His running mate, Spiro T. Ag- new, has had plenty. At times he's lectured them and told them to be ashamed of themselves. There are the antiwar hecklers, and Black Power and Black Pan- ther hecklers - who began action against Wallace rather later in the campaign - and radicals like NATIONAL GENERAL CORPORATION FOX EASTERN THEATRES R FOXN VILLI6E 375 No. MAPLE RD.-769-1300 NOW SHOWING MON-FRI 8:00 SUN-1:00-3:45-6:30-9:15 SAT-3:45-6:30-9:15 Unlike other classics West Side Story" grows younger! the Yippies. They all heckled Wal- lace, although for different rea- sons. "We know our actions help re- inforce the right wing and build the strength of Wallace," says Ste- wart Albert, a writer for the un- derground press who was at a Wallace rally in San Francisco. "That's what we want to do. Although our society is now re- pressive, we feel that it needs to be even more repressive before there can be rebellion. Heckling is a means of dramatically showing a new life style and at the same time inviting further repression. Our style of communal living, free speech and a free society invites this kind of repression. We know there will never be a revolution- and a revolution is necessary in order to change things - unless there is a repressive society." Nixon has such a finely pack- agedrcampaign that normally hecklers can't seem to get close to him - although they do oc- casionally. But the radicals have not writ- ten him off as a worthy target. "We will heckle him when he's in office," says one. -Daily-Andy Sacks Hatassing the candidates MOST SINCE RECONSTRUCTION: Negro officials on the increase NOW-You can -shine in Exami- nations anci Life!

EYERSOLE CO., BOX 10231 Phoenix, Arizona 85016 20th Century-Fo nTHE STRANGLER Pss - o"Colr oy e. e AsoM By AUSTIN SCOTT Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON (A-) - W h e n Negro leaders pushing for a rec- ord Negro vote today call this election crucial, they mean much more than just who becomes the next president. A record number of Negro can- didates - about 300 - are run- ning for a variety of offices around the nation, more than at any time since the Reconstruction era put many Negroes in office in t h e South 100 years ago. It's already certain that today's voting will add three new Negro faces to the House of Representa- tives, for a total of nine. The overwhelming bulk, how- ever, are running for state offices - mostly legislatures - and local posts. Negro leaders hope for a record turnout to bolster their chances. A large Negro turnout in Vir- ginia and Alabama, they believe, might add another t w o Negro congressmen. No one claims that victories by a substantial number would have much immediate impact on the problems Negroes face in the na- tion as a whole. But the psychological and prac- tical impact could be substantial in many localities where Negroes may get the first representatives of their race in local government in their or t h e i r parents' life- times. The election of substantial num- bers of Negroes to local offices could, leaders feel, be a morale boost that would set the stage for even more candidates - and vic- tories - two and four years from now, regardless of what happens at the presidential level. Eldridge Cleavei, minister of in- formation for the Black Panther party, and social activist-comedian Dick Gregory are primarily pro- test candidates, and Mrs. Charlene Mitchell is the candidate of the U.S. Communist party. S o m e Negro newspapers have run editorials urging their read- ers to ignore them.. But in what shapes up to be the biggest national gain, there will be at least 10 and possibly 12 Ne- groes in Congress, counting Sen. Edward Brooke (R-Mass.), who is not up for re-election.

Godard's film meant as 'a child's primer on war;- The three new blacks will come from Cleveland, St. Louis a n d Brooklyn, where Negro Republi- cans are pitted against Negro Democrats. In St. Louis, Democratic ward leader William Clay, 36-year-old civil rights activist and union of- ficial, opposes attorney Curtis C. Crawford, a 47-year-old Democrat turned Republican. Louis Stokes, brother of Cleve- land's Negro Mayor Carl Stokes, is running against Republican Charles P. Lucas. In Brooklyn, there is a close r a c e between James Farmer, former chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, and tough- talking Shirley Chisolm, a state legislator. Farmer, running on both the Republican and Liberal tickets, is well known both for his leadership of freedom rides and civil rights matches in the South, and for his work in -the slums of Brooklyn over the past two years. But the newly created district in which he s running is more than 80 per cent Democratic, and Mrs. Chisolm has built a strong local base through her work in two legislative terms. As one indication of how times change, all of the nation's pres- ent Negro congressmen come from cities in the North or West, while in the reconstruction era, all came from Southern states. The North did not send a Negro to Congress until Oscar DePriest of Chicago made it in 1928. 4- DIAL 8-6416 WEDNESDAY IS LADIES' DAY * ENDS WEDNESDAY KONETOSHINDO'S "LOST SEX" Thursday CHARLES AZNAVOUR in "PARIS IN THE MONTH OF 'AUGUST 0@@@@@A guests?

Salazar was operated on seven weeks ago after a stroke and brain hemorrage. A medical bulletin issued yesterday at the hospital where Salazar has been recuperating noted an "accentuation in the decline of the general state of health." He is 79. A BLACK PANTHER hijacked a National Airlines jet yesterday and forced the pilot to fly him to Havana. When the plane landed, the hijacker stepped from the aircraft and raised his clenched fist in the traditional Black Power symbol. Although witnesses said they saw no weapon in the man's hand when he deplaned, Cuban officials said he was armed with a .38 caliber pistol. The plauie returned to Miami later yesterday leaving 65 passengers behind in Havana. Pilot Antone Hunter said after he returned to Miami that the hijacker renamed the aircraft in flight the Republic of New Africa aid also robbed the passengers. According to the co-pilot, however, Cuban officials later returned the stolen goods to the passengers. DISSENTING STUDENTS IN NEW ORLEANS SCHOOLS will not be required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, school principles were told yesterday. Superintendent of Orleans Parish school Carl Dolce said no pupil will be required to recite the pledge "if- it violates his religious, political, or philosophical beliefs." Dolce's directive said that any pupil who wishes to be excused from reciting the pledge must have his parent or guardian notify his school principal. Dolce also said teachers can be excused from reciting the pledge "only if it violates their religious beliefs." SOUTH VIETNAM'S AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS yesterday delivered an indirect slap at Demo- cratic presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey. Although he did not mention Humphrey by name, Am- bassador Nguyen Huu Chi quoted a "candidate fpr higher office" who said "the United States has every right to expect" South Vietnam would abide by any formula for peace worked out in its absence. Humphrey had used that phrase on a tele- vision forum Sunday. Chi expressed "distress and alarm" at Humphrey's stand, and said' it is "not for any candidate' to trample on the graves of thousands of Vietnamese who had died in the war for reasons of "political expediency." * 0"- * JORDANIAN ARMY TROOPS yesterday crushed an attempted uprising by rebellious units of Palestine com- mandos. Army tanks and armored cars ringed the capital of Amman and patroled the streets after seven hours of street fighting. Isolated clashes persisted after dusk but were ap- parently instigated by loyalist forces rooting out the remain- ing rebels. Jordanian officials did not announce the number of cas- ualties, but the U.S. Embassy in Amman said no Americans had been harmed in the fighting. A communique from King Hussein said fighting began when a group of commandos attacked a police patrol, car and held its occupants. The communique added that guerrilla com- mando forces "exhorted women and children to come out and demonstrate for their cause." As a result, Amman has been placed under an indefinite curfew to "retain stability and security" the communique said. TWO POLLING PLACES were destroyed yesterday in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Police went on special election alert last night after fire damaged the polling areas and a terrorist bomb damaged a Texaco refinery. In the business area of Santurces, a sporting goods store was razed and 80 guns and hundreds of roundstof ammunition were reported stolen. Police issued a special announcement, however, assuring voters there was no evidence the incidents were related. The department is reinforcing its departments to give full protec- tion to today's voters. . . . 0 ISRAELI FOREIGN MINISTER ABBA EBAN met privately yesterday with Gunnar V. Jarring, the U.N. peace envoy in the Middle East. Diplomatic sources said Eban gave Jarring a reply to a memorandum submitted by Egyptian Foreign Minister Ma- houd Riad which asked Israel to declare whether it was will- ing to withdraw from all Arab territories occupied in the war of June 5-10, 1967. Riad's statement also wanted Israel to implement the U.N. Security Council resolution of Nov. 22, 1967, which outlines a settlement between Israel and the Arab nations. Eban reportedly gave no reply to Jarring but posed a new set of questions concerning the peace between Israel and Egypt. Jarring has until the end of November to effect a peace between the two Middle East countries unless the Security Council renews his mission. U ..... .. 1 .
