Under these circumstances, he
told the House, he opposes send-

"It is my earnest plea that he
will reconsider," Ford concluded
in his prepared speech.
'Pulling Punches'
JACKSON, Miss. WP) -Missis-
sippi's Negro voters, 185,000 strong,
were ready to flex their muscle
in a statewide Democratic primary
yesterday, in spite of the fact that
none of the seven candidates for
governor had sought their votes.
Every candidate has declared
himself a segregationist, although
only one has openly campaigned
on that theme. A popular cam-
paign tactic has been to accuse
an opponent of having Negro sup-
port.
The state's Negroes could have
cast a quarter of the 650,000 total
ballots which were expected in the
election. However, few people were
expecting the Negroes to turn out
in such strength, and indications
were that they would not vote as
to lay the groundwork for a joint H. Meredith. surprised state poli-
endorsement of statewide candi- ticians and dismayed a few with

the Negro Mississippi Freedom University of Mississippi in 1962

position not to support anyone for tion, said all the candidates "rate

by the late Sen. Theo G. Bilbo of
Mississippi which states that Ne-
groes' mental capabilities are in-
ferior to whites, and suggest that
Negroes be sent to Africa.
The one candidate who has
stresser segregation is James E.
Swan.
Swan has protested the "mass
integrated jungles that the so-
called federal judges have ordered
for our children this fall."

Ford, who has generally sup-
ported the administration in Viet-
nam, told newsmen his statement
is a personal one, but that it is
in line with positions taken by the
national Republican Coordinating
Committee.
His statements about high-level
orders hampering air operation,
he said, have "absolute confirma-
tion" from sources he cannot re-}
Iveal.
His charges included:
"High level directives for more
that two years prevented Ameri-
can airmen from hitting five out
of six of North Vietnam's key in-
dustrial targets." He added that
"nearly 90 per cent of the tar-
gets in the enemy's war-making
industrial base remain unscath-
ed."
-"Only three out of every 10
significant military targets have
by mid-1967 been struck by Unit-
ed States air power."
who got te Negro bloc vote in tne
first primary would lose a great
deal of support from whites in the
second and deciding primary.
There are no Negro candidates
in statewide contests, but more
than 100 have qualified for local
offices. Negro leaders have indi-
cated they are concentrating on
winning locally.
Charles Evers of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People said before the
primary that his group would de-
lay endorsing anyone for governor.
No Statewide Endorsement
"We haven't come out statewide
for any particular candidate," he
said. "We're just going to let each
Negro vote his own choice in the
first primary."
He said he had been meeting
with other Negro leaders, hoping
