THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THRE FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1966 Rep ublicians Bid for Place in Southern Politics WASHINGTON (A)-To Repub- licans, this looks like their year of opportunity in the South. Based on reports from the area, J. Drake Edens Jr., a vice chair- man of the GOP National Com- mittee, said in an interview that he believes the party has reason- able chances of electing governors % in South Carolina, Georgia, Flor- ida, Alabama and Arkansas. And, he said, he expects a pick- up of several Senate seats from seven contests in five states-- Virginia, South Carolina, Missis- sippi, Alabama and Tennessee. Partisan political predictions are always optimistic and to be dis- counted to some extent. Yet it is plain that the long-time political order in the South is undergoing profound changes. More and more industrial plants are going up in what were once cotton fields. More and more Ne- groes are voting. A younger gen- eration of voters is not swayed by the same appeals that moved their fathers. There is significance in the fact that Republicans are talking ser- iously of winning in states that haven't elected a Republican gov- ernor since Reconstruction days. It points up the changes. If the election in November does in fact produce GOP successes in two or three major races, 1966 might well go down in American history as the year the two-party system flowered in the long one- party South. Feeding the Republican opti- mism are a number of factors, in- cluding Democratic internal prob- lems in several states. But fundamental to it is the conviction that large numbers of once down-the-line Southern Democrats who voted Republican in the 1964 presidential election are now ready to move all the way into the Republican party. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson lost Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana. And according to Re- publican soundings with which some prominent Southern Demo- crats are in public agreement, Johnson would run no better now. Here is a rundown on the Re- publican view of the situation in the Southern states where their optimism is centered: SOUTH CAROLINA - Sen. Strom Thurmond, running for re- election, heads a ticket for top offices made up of men who are, like Thurmond, ex-Democrats turned Republican. Thurmond has the reputation of being the state's best vote-getter and the GOP has no doubt of his re-election over Bradley Morrah, the Democratic nominee. Marshall Parker, a state sen- ator, is the Republican candidate for the other Senate seat in op- position to Ernest F. Hollings, a former governor. Hollings took the Deniocratic nomination from Sen. Donald S. Russell in a hard- fought primary. The Republicans figure Demo- cratic bitterness left over from that scrap will help Parker, and they regard as a political liability for Hollings his friendship with Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY). John P. Rogers, a state legisla- tor, is trying to unseat Demo- cratic Gov. Robert E. McNair. The Republicans believe they can use against McNair the same issue that weighed heavily in Russell's primary defeat-that Russell re- signed as governor and let McNair, then lieutenant governor, appoint him to the Senate. GEORGIA - The Republicanj candidate for governor is Howard H. Callaway, a young, wealthy- textiles-congressman who is an- other ex-Democrat. The Republi- cans think he will be a well- established favorite by election day against whoever the Demo- crats nominate. There are six can- didates for the Democratic nomi- nation. FLORIDA-The Democrats had themselves a hard primary fight, climaxed by defeat of Gov. Hay- don Burns in a ruh-off primary by Mayor Robert King High of Miami. The GOP bet is that the scars from this will not be healed by November, and that friends of Burns will help their nominee for governor. ALABAMA-This is something of a special situation due to Gov. George C. Wallace's coup in win- ning the Democratic nomination for governor for his wife, Lurleen.j No Republican can be more anti- Johnson than Wallace. Before the Democratic primary, the Republicans had settled, though not officially, on Rep. James D. Martin for governor and were pretty confident he could win. There has been some palaver over whether to change signals, but as of this time the prospective line-up is Martin for governor and John Grenier for the Senate against Democratic Sen. John Sparkman. ARKANSAS-Winthrop Rocke- feller, who got 44 per cent of the vote in a losing effort against Gov. Orval E. Faubus in 1964, is again the prospective Republican nominee for governor although he has nominal opposition in the pri- mary July 26. Faubus is not a candidate for re-election and there are eight Democrats bidding for their party's nomination. Rockefeller is a brother of New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. He moved to Arkansas 13 years ago. On a visit here, Rockefeller told newsmen that, with the cam- paign experience he gained two years ago, he believes he can win. Committee Settlement Gives Strike To Johnson WASHINGTON (M--The Senate,' Labor Committee decided yester- day to leave it to President John- son to order striking machinists back to work on five major air- lines. After a stormy four-hour ses- sion behind closed doors, the pan- el voted 11 to 5 for a back-to- work plan that would permit three cooling off periods, each 60 days long, on order of the President. The measure also would cover any other airlines that face strikes within the next six months. Emergency Board Under existing law, Johnson has appointed an amergency board to put off for at least 60 days a strike threatened against Ameri- can Airlines. k- The new plan was proposed by Sens. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) and Robert P. Griffin (R-Mich). Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala), the chairman, said the committee would meet again today to put the finishing touches on the meas- ure. E It supplanted a proposal by Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) that Con- gress itself order the strikers back to work for six months of media- tion. Direct to Senate Morse declared he would take his case today directly to the Sen- ate, bypassing the committee. "Congress, I think, has the clear duty to 'act," Morse said, "not ask somebody else to act, but act itself." Earlier, the committee rejected the course favored by the admin- istration, voting down a resolu- tion calling for negotiations with congressional scrutiny. Reporting defeat of the admin- istration's wait-and-see approach, Hill said simply: "It doesn't do anything." Hill said the vote against that plan was 10 to 5. The action, at a three-hour clos- ed committee session, put before the panel Morse's bill to order the strikers back to work for six months, with federal mediators seeking a contract settlement -, and reporting to Congress if there is none within five months. Head of CIA; Sends Letter To the Editor Senators Object To Secret Service Chief WVriting in Opinions WASHINGTON UP) - A letter purportedly written by the direc- tor of the Central' Intelligence Agency caused a furore yester- day in the Senate. The letter praised a newspaper editorial en- titled "Brickbats for Fulbright." Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana called it' "a most serious matter" and ex- pressed hope all senators "would take cognizance of it." Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D- Minn), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, brought up the letter which he said had been sent to the St. Louis Globe Democrat and was signed by Richard Helms, the new director of the CIA. The CIA declined to say any- WASHINGTON P)-Prime Min- ister Harold Wilson headed for Washington yesterday for a one-' day conference with President Johnson focusing on Britain's fi- nancial plight and prospective re- trenchment on her overseas mili- tary commitments. Viet Nam and East-West rela- tions also were on the prospective discussion list for Wilson's fourth visit to the U.S. capital since be- coming prime minister 21 months ago. Critics of U.S. Viet Nam policy demonstrated at London Airport as Wilson took off. "Tell Johnson to quit Viet, Nam" and "Speak for us, not U.S.," were among slo- gans directed at the British lead- er. At Washington's Andrews Air Force Base, Secretary of State Dean Rusk headed the official greeting delegation for Wilson's entourage, arriving in a Royal Air Force plane. While theBritish chief has made a practice of underlining the close Wilson Comes To Washington To Confer on British Problems i1 thing about the matter., The Senate Foreign Relations Committee announced that Helms would testify at a closed session today. The editorial dealt with the Senate's action side-tracking an effort by the foreign relations group-headed by Sen. J. W. Ful- bright-to gain a role in Senate supervision of the intelligence agency. The first paragraph of the edi- torial read: "Sen. J. W. Fulbright Chinese people demonstrate their support for North Viet Nam at a Peking rally. VIET NAM: S3 U.SAe Both Sic By The Associated Press Three U.S. aircraft were shot down near Binh City in Nghe An Province in air raids yesterday on North Viet Nam, Peking's New China News Agency said. Some of the pilots of the down- ed planes were captured, the agen- cy added in its dispatch from Ha- noi, capital of North Viet Nam. aircraft Shot Down: !es Increase Attacks has been given his come-uppance by the Senate." The letter, over Helms' signa- ture, said "I want to let you know of my pleasure in reading the editorial 'Brickbats for Ful- bright' in the Globe Democrat of July 18. "It reflects so well your paper's policy of 'printing the news im- partially, supporting what it be- lieves to be right and opposing what it believes to be wrong, with- out regard to party politics'." Fulbright wondered if Helms "misconstrued this vote of confi- dence" as removing restraints from the CIA director in dealing with domestic matters. "I'm more than a little sur- prised that the director of the silent service has seen fit to write such a letter," Mansfield said. McCarthy called Helm's letter "entirely out of order," and said the CIA director "owes an apology to every member of the Senate." ,{ r 7 i a Chrysler Sales Fall IiiSecond Quarter DETROIT (P)-Chrysler Corp. of this year.

U.S.-British relationship with a call at Washington about every six months, today's talks carry added significance because of Britain's financial plight and the Viet Nam situation. Severe Crisis An island nation that has ex- perienced continued difficulty since World War II but is regain- ing her once-strong financial posi- tion, Britain is now in a partic- ularly severe crisis from a bal- ance-of-payments drain. This in turn affects her ability to-keep up her traditional defense roles in foreign lands. The United States has an in- terest in a strong pound along- side a sound dollar in internation- al finance-and in Britain's main- taining abroad a security role com- plementing America's. Boost Pound Britain has more than 50,000 troops in West Germany and about 50,000 in Malaysia, though none directly in the fighting in nearby Viet Nam. Secretary of the Treasury Hen- ry Fowler and Undersecretary of State George W. Ball have been in Europe examining, among other things, how to help prop up the shaky pound. At home, Wilson has ordered an emergency belt-tightening pro- gram. Wilson also was expected to tell Johnson about his visit to Moscow last week. Prime Minister Alexei N. Kosygin rebuffed a Wil- son bid to get peace talks going on Viet Nam. Supports U.S. Wilson has generally supported Johnson's policy against his Brit- ish critics, though he publicly dis- approved of U.S. air strikes at Ha- noi-Haiphong oil installations. Another potential discussion item here was the effort to im- prove relations with Communist countries. London has suggested a possible initiative by the North Atlantic Allies to reduce cold war tensions in Europe. Johnson -invited Wilson to stay overnight at the President's guest house, Blair House, then hold working sessions morning and aft- ernoon at the White House. The prime minister tentatively scheduled a news conference late this afternoon. Then he flies to Ottawa for an airport chat with Canada's prime minister, Lester Pearson, while en route back to London. The pilots were not identified. Reports from Saigon said that U.S. and Vietnamese pilots have recently struck Communist posi- tions in South Viet Nam with new fury.

Westmoreland, the U.S. commander in Viet Nam, said in 'an interview: "The enemy has lost much equipment and it appears that he's demoralized." But, he added that the Communists have large concentrations of troops else- where in Viet Nam and "there is no indication their persistence is waning." "If they are stopped in one place," he said, "they'll try anoth- elr." They were trying chiefly at the moment in hit-and-run attacks. The biggest of these reported was a guerrilla raid before dawn on a village 18 miles from Saigon. 334 Dead Military spokesmen in Saigon announced 334 allied servicemen were killed last week. This total, headed by 195 South Vietnamese, compared with an overall figure of 279 in the week of July 10-16. Communist dead were listed at 1,272, compared with 1200 in the previous week. Their combat deaths since Jan. 1, 1961, are now reported to total 29,196. In addition to the 136 Ameri- cans killed, 578 U.S. servicemen were wounded and 14 missing or captured last week. That compar- ed with 65 killed, 368 wounded and none missing in the week of July 10-16. Fresh support for the Ameri- can charge that the North Viet- namese infiltrated across the six- mile-wide border zone that is sup- posed to be demilitarized under the 1954 Geneva agreement came from a warrant officer who sur- rendered Wednesday. By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The House For- eign Affairs Committee approved yesterday a $119-million authori- zation for the Peace Corps in the year that started July 1. The total is $5 million less than the corps received last year and $2.1 million less than the admin- istration had asked. The reduction knocked out an administration proposal for an ex- change peace corps to bring vol- unteers to the United States from abroad. Also rejected was an increase for research from $500,000 to $900,000. * *~ * WASHINGTON-A high-alti- tude U-2 plane, flying from the United States toward South Amer- ica, is missing, and the Pentagon said yesterday it assumes the pilot lost consciousness in flight. In a special message read to newsmen, a Defense Department spokesman said the Strategic Air Command craft, which is used for reconnaissance missions, was "un- der apparent control of the auto- matic pilot" maintaining a course1 south. Authorities in South America have been alerted, he said. The plane took off yesterday morning from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., "on a routine mission," the spokesman said. Radar contact was lost while the aircraft was off the coast of Florida. "It is estimated that the air- craft fuel would have been ex- hausted by mid-afternoon, East- ern Daylight Time, the spokesman said. NEW YORK-The stock mar- ket declined yesterday for the eighth time in nine sessions. An early advance was erased. The Dow Jones average of 30 in- dustrials declined 2.17 points to 854.06.

WASHINGTON - The Senate put a stop order yesterday on plans for an extension of the west front of the Capitol as it passed a $214-million legislative appropriation bill. The measure, passed by voice vote, forbids using any funds for furthering the project, pending an independent study of the cost and feasibility of shoring up the foun- dation of the west front without changing its present lines. , * , NEW YORK-Rep.

"The most that can be paid for this debtor's misbehavior is that it reflects his own peculiar brand World News Roundup of civil disobedience," State Sn- preme Court Justice Irving H.
