EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third
in a five-part series on the major
statewide races in she Nov. 8 elec-
tion. It deals with the race for
lieutenant governor.
By The Associated Press
The lieutenant governor's race
is a contest between "also rans"
whose job it is to try to become
"also wons."
Sipce the 1963 State Constitution
went into effect, the governor and
lieutenant governor run as a team
-ending the sometimes awkward
situation in which a governor of
one party and a lieutenant gov-
ernor of another party are elected

and forced to work together for
the next few years.
That happened in 1962, when
Republican George Romney was
elected governor while Democrat
T. John Lesinski was picked as
lieutenant governor.
The situation produced some
colorful conflict, but there were
questions as to whether this split
in the executive office produced
anything else for the benefit of
the state.
This year's contest is between
Republican Lt. Gov, William G.
Milliken of Traverse City and
Democratic challenger John B.
Bruff of Mount Clemens.

Each is running on the platform
of his party's gubernaforial can-
didate, and trying to campaign
where his running mate isn't.
Milliken is campaigning on the
accomplishments of the Romney
Administration in 1963-64 and of
the Romney-Milliken Administra-
tion, 1965-66.
Bruff, like Democratic gover-
natorial candidate Zolton Ferency,
is attacking that record, com-
plaining of a $167 million surplus
in the State Treasury while needs
go unmet, and claiming most of
the advances in the past two
years for the Democrat-dorinated
Legislature.

Milliken's schedule is coordi-
nated by a committee that tries
to get him into outstate areas
while Romney is in the metropoli-
tan Detroit area and vice versa.
Ferency's schedule usually is
not announced far enough in ad-
vance to allow Bruff to set his
own schedule accordingly, but he
tries to expand the Democratic
gubernatorial campaign by filling
the gaps in Ferency's schedule.
The lieutenant governor's job is
to act as governor when the chief
executive is out of the state or
otherwise unable to perform his
duties. He is first in line to suc-

ceed the governor. The lieutenant
governor is a member of the Ad-
ministrative Board and presides
over the Senate without vote.
Milliken is president of J. W.
Milliken Inc., which runs three
department stores in Traverse
City, Cadillac and Manistee.
He ran for his first public office
in 1960. He was elected to the
State Senate that year and two
years later was selected majority
floor leader. In 1964 he was se-
lected at the Republican State

Wipe-Out
U.S. Patrol
Capitol Concerned
Over Korean Attack
In Demilitarized Zone
SEOUL, South Korea () -
Striking from ambush, Commu-
nist North Koreans wiped out an
eight-man patrol of the U.S. 2nd
Infantry Division below the arm-
istice line yesterday, just eight
hours before President Johnson
left South Korea for Washington.
The Red raiders killed six Amer-
ican soldiers and a South Korean
on duty with them. They wound-
ed the eighth man, an American,
in the gravest such incident in-
volving U.S. servicemen in this
peninsular nation since the Ko-
rean War ended in 1953.
A4 In Washington, the United
States expressed serious concern
over the series of attacks, which
have taken the lives of 23 Ko-
reans and six American soldiers
since Oct. 15.
State Department
The State Department said
there was no connection between
the incidents and Johnson's visit
to South Korea.
North Korea's central news
agency, without referring to the
ambush, broadcast a declaration
from Pyongyang that Johnson had
been "sowing' the seeds of a new
war" in Korea. In another dis-
patch, it charged that American
troops staged various provocations
and fired more than 800 bullets
into Communist territory during
five consecutive days, Oct. 25-29,
and again on Oct. 31.
'Intolerable'
President Chung Hee Park's
Seoul government denounced the
ambush as an "intolerable and
barbarous act which deserves con-
denmation by all free peoples of
the world."
Information Minister Hong
Jong-chul suggested the raid grew
out of North Korean jealousy over
South Korea's "fast economic
progress and enhanced national
prestige in the international com-
munity," attained with substantial
American help.
President and Mrs. Johnson were
sleeping at their hotel in Seoul
when grenade explosions opened
the attack on the patrol at a;
point, 30 miles away, about 800
yards south of the demilitarized
zone between North and South
Korea.
President
The President was advised of
the ambush as he boarded his
plane. His staff announced at a
stop in Anchorage, Alaska, that he
had asked for a complete report
from Gen. Charles H. Bonesteel.
Johnson had talked only Tuesday
with Bonesteel, who heads both
the U.S. 8th Army and the United
Nations Command in Korea.
A U.S. spokesman said there was
evidence that the patrol returned
the Communist fire and it was
"quite a good engagement." There
was no report of any casualties,
however, among the ambushers.
The American survivor, hit by a
grenade but reported in good con-
dition, said the attackers wore
North Korean army uniforms. The
spokesman said expended shell
casings which relief patrols found
in the area were Communist-made.
Identification of all the victims
was temporarily withheld.
The South Korean was a Katu-
sa. The Katusas are English-
speaking South Korean soldiers
assigned to help fill gaps in un-
derstrength American units.
The demilitarized zone, 22 miles
wide, winds for 151 miles across
rough country between the Yel-
low Sea and the Sea of Janan.

Manila conference on the war in
Viet Nam.
"Those that are nearest the
danger, closest to the aggression
in Viet Nam, recognize it most
clearly for what it really is,"
Johnson said, "a campaign to de-
stroy and to conquer a small
country."
"Each of us at the Manila con-
ference rejected the voice of the
appeaser and the heel of the ag-
gressor," Johnson, said in an ar-
rival speech televised and broad-
cast nationally.
"We agreed that our goal is an
honorable peace, just as soon as
it can be obtained," he said. "We

BONN, Germany MP)-Chancel,
for Ludwig Erhard, beset by a
crisis generated in part by diffi-
culty in finding money to fulfill
promises to buy arms in the Unit-
ed States, said yesterday he will
resign if necessary.
Some leaders of the party, the
Christian Democrats, have urged
him to quit. Though Erhard was
West Germany's most popular po-
litician when he succeeded Kon-
rad Adenauer as chancellor Oct.
16, 1963, he has been sliding down-
hill politically for several weeks.
New taxes are considered nec-
essary to patch a hole in the 1967
budget, a shortage of revenues es-
timated to range from the equiva-
lent of $725 million to a billion
dollars.
Arms Sale
At least $450 million is needed
to complete promises to buy armsl
in the United States. Such pur-

chases help to offset the dollar
drain in the maintenance of
American armed forces in Ger-
many.
A squabble over the taxes led
to the resignation of four Free
Democratic party ministers from
Erhard's coalition government last
week, leaving only Christian Dem-
ocrats at the helm. They lack a
majority in Parliament and it is
uncertain whether new levies can
be approved.
Erhard, now 69, told a closed-
door meeting of party leaders that
he would not stand in the.way of
formation of a new government.
Caucus .
Will Rasner, the Christian Dem-
ocrat floor manager of the Bund-
estag, relayed that statement to
newsmen after a caucus of the
party's Bundestag membership.
An infol ned source said earlier
that Erhard had agreed to resign

if he could take part fully in se-
lection of a new government chief.
It has been widely reported that
he favors Gerhard Schroeder, the
foreign minister, as his successor.
To get a new majority, they will
be compelled either to renew the
alliance with the Free Democrats
or to seek a new one with the op-
position Socialists.
