EDITOR'S NOTE: It takes a
talented man to achieve stature
enough to make a bid for elec-
tion to the U.S. Senate. But once
the decision is made, it takes
talented men to put the candi-
date across.
Such is the case in the primary
election struggle between Detroit
Mayor Jerome Cavanagh and for-
mer Gov. G. Mennen Williams.
Cavanagh, 37, and Williams, 54,
differ in many respects. Besides
age, there's background, appear-
ance, experience, goals and opin-
ions. But in one respect they are
very similar-each has gathered
an aggressive, talented dedicated
staff.
On each of the staffs are men
who have known the candidate
for years, been through many po-
litical skirmishes with him. And
on each staff are the political sol-
diers of fortune who freely admit
they were attracted to their man
because they judged him a win-
ner.
But there is another curious
similarity between the two staffs.
Despite obvious talent and exper-
ience, no one staff member in
either camp emerges as a "gray
eminence," a man behind the can-
didate, an alter ego.
Both Cavanagh and Williams
retain firm control over campaign
decisions and even write many
of their own speeches.
The following report is by As-
sociated P r e s s staffers Gene
Schroeder and Dick Barnes who
have known the candidates for
several years and who have spent
the past two weeks on the hust-
ings with them all over Michigan.

*. ..And Cavanagh's
By DICK BARNES
DETROIT (P)- - An imported
team of battle-wise political tech-
nicians and a city staff, which
works together like a champion-
ship basketball team, are trying
to elect Jerome Cavanagh a U.S.
senator.
While Cavanagh's personal staff
shifts smoothly from city to elec-
tion strategy, the glamor figures
behind the scenes are William
Haddad and Robert Clampitt, two
self-professed left wing reformers
with a record for engineering elec-
tion victories.
Haddad and Clampitt, who went
into business so they could be se-
cure enough to play in politics,
soft-pedal their role.
"We don't like the label of
political pro," says Haddad. "You
win on the issues."
For the Cavanagh race, the
pair draw on their experiences
gained in helping to elect Robert
Kennedy a senator, upset Florida
Gov. Hayden Burns, put Republi-
can John Lindsay into the New
York mayor's office and helped
Milton Shapp upset the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic organization for'
a gubernatorial nomination.
Haddad, 30 who's studied mu-I
haired Robert Toohey, quit his
city-paid job as special assistant
to become full-time campaign
manager. He is the close-mouthed
chief administrator of the cam-
paign and the fund-raiser working
with Walker Cisler, utility execu-
tive and nominal finance chair-
man.
Toohey and two of the ex-re-
porters, Anthony Ripley and Jack

WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite
fresh estimates that federal in-
come will climb higher than gov-
erment economists figured, a tax
increase is still a live possibility
for next year.
But officials emphasized yester-
day that no tax decision has been
made by the Johnson administra-
tion. The door is still open for a
possible hike even this year, al-
though this now appears unlikely
especially in view of November's
congressional elections.
"It's still an open question," one
well-placed source said. "Any de-
cision will depend on future de-
velopments.
It was learned that federal ex-
perts now expect tax collections
for the fiscal year which began
July 1 to climb about $4.5 billion
higher than they originally esti-
mated. However, increases in Viet
Nam war spending could offset
this and then some.
Congress also has added a bil-
lion dollars to President Johnson's
$112.8-billion spending proposals
for the fiscal year, and some of-
ficials see a potential for adding
another $4 billion or $5 billion.
Exact figures are still lacking,
but government experts forsee tax
collections higher than expected
during the current fiscal year from
both corporation and individual
income levies without any boost
in basic tax rates.
WASHINGTON (P)-House de-
bate and backstage lobbying both
concentrated yesterday on a com-
promise open housing provision in
the administration's civil rights
bill.
While speakers alternated in
praise and criticism of the pro-
posal, civil rights leaders prowled
the halls outside the chamber
seeking votes to hold it in the
bill as now written.
The fight to retain the provi-
sion, which shapes up as the big
battle in prospect on the bill, was
not likely to come before early
next week. Sections dealing with

WASHINGTON - The Senate
Labor Committee put off until
today its decision on how Con
gress should deal with the 20-day-
old strike of five major airlines.
The senators heard Secretary of
Labor W. Willard Wirtz urge that
the negotiators be sent "back to
the woodshed" and that the wood-
shed not be the White House.
Wirtz said President Johnson
agrees that there should be no
White House intervention nor con-
gressional legislation now, but that
"free collective bargaining be given
a last clear chance to work."

The provision, he said, is aimed
at prohibiting discrimination by
those "in the business of housing,"
while exempting the occasional
sale by an owner of an individual
home. There was no intent, he
said, to deny such an exempt own-
er the use of a real estate agent in
carrying out his transaction.
Mathias's proposal is a com-
promise for a stricter ban proposed
by President Johnson, but which
stirred some stiff opposition to
the the civil rights bill.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development has estimated
the provision would cover 23 mil-
lion dwelling units, mostly new
tract houses and large apartments.
Mathias said his proposed
amendment would neither weaken
nor strengthen the provision, since
it would merely make its meaning
clear.
But civil rights leaders, who
read the language in its narrower
sense, are opposing the clarifying
amendment. Roy Wilkins, presi-
dent of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, headed a contingent of
lobbyists who urged members yes-
terday to vote against the propos-
ed amendment.

Reginald Maudling, speaking for
an opposition Conservative motion
censuring Wilson's men on charg-
es of mismanagement of the na-
tion's finances. Maudling attrib-
uted the trouble to a collapse of
confidence in the Labor govern-
ment.
"The world has rumbled the
prime minister," he said. "His
technique of gimmick after gim-
mick, of covering the failure of
one publicity stunt by the noise
of the next one, has been expos-
ed."
But there was more cheer for
Wilson outside Parliament.
Union Acquiescence
High command of the eight-
million-member Trades Union
Congress accepted, with qualifi-
cations, the government's calls-
for a six-month wage freeze.
The alternative, said the con-
gress, might be compulsion plus
new acts of deflation putting up
to 1.5 million British workers out
of jobs.
The congress' decision by a 20-
12 vote came too late to boost the
pound on the foreign exchange
market. Nevertheless, sterling had
a relatively sunny day. It rose by
one-sixteenth of a cent to close at
$2.7912, highest level since May.

Asia. he was telling confidantes
that South Viet Nam's only real
chance lay in general war between
China and the West. The Ameri-
cans, apparently, were sharply re-
jecting these views.
Now there is a hint of similar
gloom from Khanh's successor. Ky
says that if nothing is done about
the northern sanctuary enjoyed by
the Communists, whatever the
threat of a confrontation with
China, "then we will be defeated."

WASHINGTON WP-A national
conference on "black power" will
be called by Negro leaders for
the Labor Day weekend in Wash-
ington, it was announced yester-
day.
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-
NY) and Stokely Carmichael,
chairman of the Student Non-
violent Coordinating Committee,
said the meeting will define black
power and specify its goals.
Floyd McKissick, chairman of
the Congress of Racial Equality,
also is a sponsor of the meeting.
Carmichael said leaders of all
types of Negro organizations will
be invited.
He said invitations also will be
extended to whites "if they have
any black power."
I _ _ _ _ _
Carmichael, the new, militant
leader of SNCC, said the confer-
ence will undertake the establish-
ment of "pockets of black power"
and discuss "the tactics we will
use."
He said at a news conference
called by Powell that "black pow-
er" has been badly misrepresent-
ed in the white press. He said it
does not seek Negro supremacy.
Asked if black power is based
on nonviolence, Carmichael count-
ered: "Can you have power with-
out violence?"
Those invited to the conference
will include Martin Luther King,
the veteran Negro leader who has
criticized the black power advo-
cates.
