THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE' THREE THURDAY JUL 28 196 T~E MIHIGN DALY AGE HRE Men Behind Democratic Primary Candidates 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.

"He has a keen analytical mind that is always open. He listens carefully and then makes up his mind." McGloin has been active in the Democratic party for years, first as a member of the Young Demo- crats in 1952 when Teamsters Un- ion leaders launched an unsuc- cessful attempt to seize control of the party. He was running Democratic Sen. Philip Hart's Detroit office when Williams got him to join his staff. Sharing the office with Mc- Gloin is Williams' son, Gery, a hulking 25-year-old, who has been helping out by filling in when the former governor cannot make it to a meeting. Gery averages about three speeches a week, but does no formal speech-writing for his dad. *. ..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.

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.

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." After a 71/2-hour session-30 minutes of it behind closed doors -the committee recessed without voting on the legislation Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) wants pass- ed to post a back-to-work order. Rent, Buy, Sell ,Trade Thru Daily Classifieds, 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. I STARTS TODAY the Labor government's economic policies in the House of Commons. Importers throughout the sterl- ing area - made up of chiefly Commonwealth lands which peg their currencies to the pound - sped payments for their goods be- cause they feared an imminent de- valuation, he said. This would have saved them money if the pound had been de- valued from its official parity lev- el of $2.80. Area's Banker Britain serves as banker to the sterling area. Cost to Britain's re- serves of a one-week speedup of, the whole area's import payments, Wilson estimated, is $420 million. The explanation did not impress 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.

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." 1 r t Y e 7 II GIRLS !!

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. 6:30 P.M.
