Tuesday, August 13, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY TusayAgs 3,161H CIA AL Page Three Maddox may seek Presidency IN JAVA, BORNEO: Indon esians clash with Communists SAVANNAH, Ga. (i)-Gov. Lester Maddox formally an- nounced yesterday he is "giving serious consideration to an- nouncing my candidacy to seek the nomination" for President. The governor said at this time the chances are greater that he will seek the nomination than that he will not. He said he would make a firm decision no later than Saturday. He said he has been in touch with conservative -leaders in various parts of the country, and that they agree with him the present candidates for the Democratic nomination repre- sent exclusively the liberal wing of the party. Maddox also said he will sup- port a move to prohibit use of the unit rule among delegations at the Chicago convention be- cause he believes that will free delegates from several states to support him. Georgia's delegation has tra- ditionally used the unit rule, which gives all a delegation's votes to the candidate favored by the majority. Maddox said earlier this unit rule, bit said Saturday this year's delegation would use the will not be done. In response to questions about third-party candidate George Wallace, of whom Mad- dox has been an outspoken ad- mirer, the governor said, "I don't think that I'll ever be in a position of running against Gov. Wallace." Maddox declined to elaborate on the meaning of his state- ment, but the clear indication was that Wallace would with- draw if Maddox would with- draw in a bid for the Demo- cratic nomination. "I'm not going to tell you that," Maddox said when asked if that were the case. "Then, you would know it all." Maddox made the announce- ment at a news conference he called yesterday while in Sa- vannah to address a convention of the Georgia Municipal Asso- ciation. Earlier in Atlanta, the 52- year-old f o r m e r restaurant owner who was elected governor by the Georgia Legislature, said his candidacy would offer voters a choice between one conserv- ative and three socialists. "I have no intention of run- ning as a favorite son," he added. Maddox said on Sunday he had not discussed the idea with national or state Democratic party officials, and had no idea what their reaction would be. After losing several elections, including two for mayor, and a 1962 race for lieutenant gov- ernor, Maddox defeated former Gov. Ellis G. Arnall for the Democratic nomination for governor n 1966. He was elected governor in January 1967 by the Georgia General Assembly after neither he nor Republican Howard "Bo" Callaway received a majority of general election votes. Callaway outpolled Maddox by 3,039 votes. Before his election, Maddox, 52, became known as the At- lanta restaurant owner who closed rather than comply with the 1964 Civil Rights Act to serve Negroes. He was shown in photographs brandishing a pistol at would-be Negro customers and handing out ax handles to whites. The governor will head Geor- gia's 43-vote delegation to the Democratic convention. The delegation, chosen by Maddox, is officially uncom- mitted. Maddox said the Democratic party nominees, including South Dakota Sen. George S. Mc- Govern who announced Satur- day, offer no choice. He said the Democratic party "is primarily interested in the welfare state and socialism." JAKARTA, Indonesia (P)--The army reported yesterday it has struck hard blows at resurgent Indonesian Communists in East Java and Borneo but the outlawed party is stirring up new unrest in Sumatra. Maj. Gen. Mohammed Jasin, commander in East Java, told re- porters 1,400 Communists, includ- ing six Central Committee mem- bers, have been captured in the -' LBJ visits army clinic SANANTONIO, Tex. ()-Pres- ident Johnson visited an Army hospital here yesterday for intes- tinal x-rays that will be flown to Bethesda, Md., for study by Navy doctors and a Mayo Clinic intern- ist. Upon his arrival at the hospital the White House announced: "The President is feeling fine and is carrying on an active schedule." However, Johnson aides never have ruled out the possibil- ity that the x-ray findings may prompt presidential doctors to recommend surgery. The President personally dis- closed last Thursday that he was afflicted with diverticulosis, a condition that produces pouches on the inner lining of the large in- testine. Normally no surgery is needed to treat this ailment. past two months in his troubled region. Jasin did not , say how many Communist have been killed, but other reports have said casualties among the Red underground have been heavy. About 6,000 troops, including commando and armored units, have been conducting a massive sweep of East Java, long a Com- munist stronghold. [ndonesia's army commander, Gen. Maraden Panggabean, told a meeting of the cabinet that troops have killed 392 Communist guerrillas and captured 209 in In- donesian Borneo so far this year. Another 490 guerrillas surrender- ed, he said. Maj. Gen. Kusno Untomo, mili- tary commander in Sumatra, told Antara News Agency the Com- munists on that island near Ma- laysia and Singapore were causing unrest.

For months they have been re- organizing and arming for guer- rilla warfare. Earlier this year they launched guerrilla warfare in East Java. They hoped to capitalize on un- rest caused by Indonesia's shaky, inflation-ridden economy. But some believed they surfaced too soon, because army reports have told of daily killings and captures.
