SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3-0,1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE4 SATURDAY, OCTOBER ~O, 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY A C TTT1 1 1V 3 Jersey TRENTON, N.J. () - New Jer sey chooses a governor and ne, legislature Nov. 2 in an election that could end several politica traditions. The Democrats are within sigh of a peak of political dominanc they have not occupied sinc Woodrow Wilson's term as gov ernor half a century ago. New Jersey was considereda Republican state only a doze: years ago. But weakened by pri mary fights, election losses an anemic finances, the Republican are underdogs in this year's rac for governor and are no bette than even money to hold on t the newly reapportioned legisla ture. Political - show him comfortably ahead. If w he wins, it will be the fourth term n in a row for the Democrats, the Ll longest reign by either party in the 20th century. Wayne Dumont, Jr., a 14-year t veteran of the state Senate, is try- e ing to stop the Democratic streak. e A 51-year-old lawyer from one of - the state's few remaining rural counties, he won a less-than-re- a sounding endorsement from the n GOP in a complicated screening - committee procedure followed by a d close primary election victory. s Twice before he had lost Republi- e can gubernatorial primary elec- r tions. Dumont emphasizes discussion of such things as taxes, colleges, the drought and what he calls Hughes' lack of leadership. He ac- cuses Hughes of wasteful spend- - ing and failing to take the lead s in raising large amounts of money Traditions Up both he and Hughes agree the state needs. He has come up with one is- sue that has emotional impact. Prof. Eugene Genovese of Rutgers, the state university. Genovese told a "teach-in" last April that he would welcome a Viet Cong victory in Viet Nam. Dumont called for dismissal of Genovese and a "sleeper" issue was born. Hughes emphasizes his agree- ment with U.S. policy in Viet Nam but has declined to force Rutgers to fire Genovese. -He said it would violate academic freedom. Hughes admits the Genovese is- sue will cost him votes. Hughes, 56, is a former judge who won an upset victory in 1961 over the late James P. Mitchell, secretary of labor in the Dwight D. Eisenhower cabinet. A remar- ried widower with 10 children and the state's first Roman Catholic governor, Hughes is running this year in a more restrained version of his usual peppery platform style. He blames most of New Jer- sey's government problems on the Republican majority caucus which has ruled the state Senate for 50 years. Both Hughes and Dumont rep- resent a sharp break with New Jersey's past in one major respect -both advocate a big, new state- wide tax. Dumont has supported a sales tax for years. Hughes came out for an income tax two years ago. New Jersey is one of the'last states in the nation without a general sales or personal income tax. It tried a sales tax for a few months 30 years ago and the ensuing outcry has made most politicians gun-shy on the issue ever since. 0 inAir A court-ordered reapportion- ment adds to the Republican prob- lems. The U.S. Supreme Court's "one-man, one-vote" doctrine has produced a 29-member Senate that gives added voting power to the big counties. The present 21-mem- ber Senate, with one man from each county, has been a Republi- can stronghold since 1913. The 60-member Assembly will not be changed in size. The Demo- crats hope to win control there, too, something they have done only in seven of the past 50 years. Winner of legislative control gets a bonus - the privilege of drawing up new federal congres- sional districts. A court has or- dered the redistricting. It will de- termine whether the Democrats can hold the 11-4 edge on the congressional delegation they won last year, their only majority since Wilson. ELECTION NOV.2: Johnson Supports Beame in New York's Mayorality Race Democratic Gov. 4ughes is seeking a year term. Polls by Richard L second four both partie JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (P) - President Johnson belatedly but strongly endorsed Democrat Ab- raham D. Beame for major of New York yesterday-along with Dem- ocrats anywhere who are running in Tusday's elections. With accompanying flings at Beame's opponents, White House press secretary Bill D. Moyers said and then repeated that: "Mr. Beame knows that the President is strongly and enthus- iastically behind him.'" Beame is in a tight race against U.S. Rep. John V. Lindsay, a lib- eral, anti-Goldwater Republican who has been wa-ing a non- partisan banner. Lindsay, running on a Republican-Liberal ticket, al- so is opposed by editor-writer William F. Buckley, Jr., who is running on the Conservative tick- et. Great Lift Beame said in -New York the Johnson endorsement, following one from Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey, "is a great lift." Some political railbirds figured the absence up to now of a direct presidential declaration of support for Beame was helping Lindsay gain ground in the closing days of the campaign. Yesterday it came in something of a stump speech by Moyers, from notes cleared in advance with Johnson. Even then it wasn't vol- unteered but was prompted by questions at a news briefing at the Texas White House. "The President," Moyers said, "conscientiously believes that the Democratic party better serves the people, of this country than the Republican party, and he is al- ways pleased and satisfied and proud when qualified Democrats are elected to office, and he sup- ports them in their efforts. That includes New York, Louisville, Ak- ron, New Jersey-anywhere where Democrats are running for office.' Good Democrat Moyers went on, saying how Johnson never has tried to dic- tate to others how to vote, but he is a good Democrat, leader of the party, believer in tpe platform, a man who campaigned for Demo- crats from the courthouse to the White House in 1960 and 1964, a man who never supported a Re- publican nominee for office. In the New York situation, he said, Johnson doesn't believe his unwillingness to dictate to others how to vote should be misinter- preted as an abdication of his re- sponsibility as party leaders or misconstrued as lack of support for Beame. Unfortunately, Moyers said, it has been so construed and misin- terpreted by persons who would benefit from confusing the people of New York. Deal? Buckley supporters, he said, have said the President has made a deal with Lindsay. Lindsay sup- porters, he said, are using souve- nir presidential pens obtained at bill-signing ceremonies to imply their man has Johnson's support. didate, he said, are saying in ef- fect that Johnson has rebuked Beame. "I want to {set the record straight and in a very simple way," Moyers said. "Mr. Beame knows that the President is strongly and enthusiastically behind him. Wilson Hints at Suspension "Of Rhode sian Constitution - Government Si xth Plane Downed by Viet Cong U.S. Paratroopers Killed in Encounter With Viet Guerrillas SAIGON (P)-Shells fired by a supporting artillery unit. killed six. paratroopers and wounded three of the U.S. 107st Airborne Division in a drive yesterday against the Viet Cong, a military spokesman disclosed. In the air war, American au- thorities in effect wrote off a Navy F8E Crusader jet that was blown out of the sky on a bombing mis- sion 60 miles southwest of Ranoi Wednesday as the sixth U.S. plane to fall victim of North Viet Nam's Soviet-supplied missiles. Aerial Action A strike by B52 jet bombers from Guam headed a day of in- tensive aerial action against the Viet Cong. The target of the B52s was a suspected guerrilla storage area 45 miles northwest of Sai- gon. A scheduled check of the area by Vietnamese troops was called off because of bad weather. Briefing officers said a total of 230 combat sorties were flown across South Viet Nam in the 24- hour period ending at 6 a.m. The artillery incident developed during an operation in the Song Am River basin, 12 miles north- west of Qui Nhon, a port on the South China Sea. 37 Cong Killed Helicopter-borne units of the 101st had killed 37 Viet Cong and were trying to root out the rest of a Red detachment whose fire has caused American pilots to dub the area "Snipter Valley." The spokesman said the six paratroopers who were killed and the three wounded were members of a squad that inadvertently moved into the artillery's line of fire. He did not have the identity of the artillery unit. Only U.S. forces were assigned to the operation, he said, but he did not rule out the possibility that Vietnamese gun batteries might have been used to support the drive. Pilot Hunted A long hunt over North Viet Nam for the pilot of the Navy Crusader was abandoned at dusk and a spokesman said it was presumed a surface to air missile fired from a mobile installation was respon- sible for destruction of the plane. The Defense Department in Washington reported Thursday the probable loss of the plane to a missile. Saigon authorities had remained silent on the details un- til forced to list the pilot as mis- sing. Missile Threat Portable missile complexes have posed a threat to planes on mis- sions over North Viet Nam since the first jet was brought down by a missile July 24. These com- plexes can be erected and dis- mantled with 24 hours. In addition, intelligence agents say at least 30 fixed bases ring Hanoi, the capital, and the key port of Haiphong. The staffs are presumed to include Soviet tech- nicians. ARE YOU MISSING IMPORTANT PHONE CALLS?

I'll cover you against the homefront!" orld News Roundup To Be Under English Rule Britain Holds Many Key Economic Cards To Force Compromise SALISBURY, Rhodesia OP)-- Prime Minister Harold Wilson of Britain exerted heavy pressure on Prime Minister Ian Smith of Rho- desia in a last-ditch bid yesterday to prevent the white Rhodesian government from grabbing inde- pendence. Informants said Wilson even in- dicated the British government might suspend Rhodesia's consti- tution, putting this central Afri- can country under direct British, administration until the racial problem is adjusted to meet Lon- don's approval. Wilson is scheduled to leave for home tomorrow. The white Rho- desians feared that once he was gone the British would fly in a lot of administrators and seek to take control from Smith's gov- ernment. The British feared that if all of Wilson's party left, the Smith government would go through its long-standing threat to declare ~n- dependence. Informed sources said Wilson told Smith Thursday night and again yesterday that Britain had many trump cards to play. Britain could employ force to encounter a declaration of indd- pendence. There are a series of economic sanctions the British government could use with the active support of many members of the Commonwealth and the United Nations. With the last hope of a Smith- Wilson compromise fading, in- formants thought the employment of economic measures was the step most likely to be taken by the British government. Smith's white government wants Rhodesia, an internally self- governing colony, granted com- plete independence on the basis of the 1961 constitution. Wilson insists that any Rho- desian settlement must be ap- proved by the entire Rhodesian people. He does not believe that this country, about three times the size of England, can be con- trolled indefinitely by its 225,000 minority. Wilson is insisting on the steady political advancement of Rhodesia's 3.8 million Africans. British sources said the eco- nomic measures envisaged by Wil- son's government included a land and sea blockade to cut off all oil supplies to land-locked Rhodesia. }' <.'
