Johnson. His first full term in the White House will carry on this theme, University observers predict. Since the assassination of President John F. Ken- nedy, Johnson has been working with the Kennedy cabinet. Now that he has been elected, he is expected to make changes in the new cabinet. According to Prof. Ferrel Heady of the political science department, director of the Institute of Public Administration, Johnson will "give special recognition to some Southerners in the cabinet," as part of an attempt to make the South an integral part of his administration. Saunders is known for his relatively liberal stand on civil rights. After his cabinet is filled, and the Congress meets, Johnson is expected to attempt to have a number of programs initiated including Medicare. This is likely to be the major item of Johnson's legislative program, according to Prof. Norman C. Thomas of the political science department. Heady added that an extension of the War on Poverty, especially in Appalachian redevelopment, will be called for. Johnson's other programs in the area of domestic policy include the Hart-Udall proposals to preserve untouched wilderness areas and an attempt to provide tax exemptions for college students' expenses. These amount to a continuation, with some extension, of domestic policy. Further legislation, Thomas observed, is expected to favor business. o Continue "Wewill be in for a period of more vigorous eco- nomic growth than we have had for several years," Prof. Paul McCracken of the business administration school said. Even though the Johnson administration is expected to reduce this year's federal budget by $500 million, the nation's capital investment rate is expected to increase by 10-12 per cent in 1965. McCracken foresees a more rapid labor force in- crease. "We will regain the ability to operate at full employment," he continued. In the long run, he expects the nation's rate of economic growth from 1963-1970 to be 50 per cent higher than the 1953-1963 rate. In the short run, McCracken expects there will be a rise df some five per cent in business activity this year. "This growth rate could carry all the way through to the end of See JOHNSON, Page 8 EVEN BEFORE the campaign, officially got underway, Presi- dent Lyndon B. Johnson was outlining the "Great Society" to potential voters. Here he ad- dresses the University's May commencement. Heady particularly mentioned Gov. Carl of Georgia as a likely choice for a cabinet Saunders position.

John- son's 'coattails helped them score numerous upsets across the nation. One of the upsets, if fragmentary returns prove cor- rect, may be in the local U.S. House race. Michigan's juniorf senator, meanwhile, easily won re-election over his Republi- can opponent., Garners History's Largest Plurality Goldwater Loses Four Key States; Runs Strongly Only in Deep South By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-Running powerfully everywhere but in the deep South, Lyndon B. Johnson last night won the Pesi- dency in his own right, defeating Sen. Barry Goldwater by the greatest popular landslide in history. As of 3:30 a.m., Johnson had captured some 62 per cent of the nation's popular vote, shattering the 60.8 per cent rec- ord set by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936. The popular vote totals, state totals, and electoral vote totals (270 needed to win) with 84 per cent of the nation's votes counted: Popular vote: Johnson, 36,007,935; Goldwater, 22,382,226. States: Johnson, 44; Goldwater, 6. Electoral votes: Johnson, 486; Goldwater, 52. While his vote percentage set a record, Johnson did not capture a record number of, states.

Nationally, the Associated Presss credited the Democrats with vic- tory in 26 of the 35 Senate races at 3:30 a.m., with two seats still in doubt. Of the questionable races, the Democrats led in Ne- vada and the Republicans in Pennsylvania. The Democrats are assured their present 66-34 Senate majority. and, depending on the Nevada and Pennsylvania races, can gain two additional seats. In the Michigan race, Hart led Mrs. Peterson 1,607,422 - 841,716 with 74 per cent of the vote tabulated. Freedom Now Party candidate Ernest Smith had ac- cumulated 3,051 votes at this point. Hart still trailed President Johnson's Michigan vote total by approximately 100,000. LBJ Helped Hart attributed his victory to "the tremendous popular appro- val" of the Kennedy-Johnson ad- ministration.

With 171 of 1208 precincts re- porting, Vivian held a lead of 1,377 votes over his GOP opponent The totals were 64,443 for Vivian and 63,066 for Meader. Across the nation Democrats picked up House seats in many traditionally Republican voting districts. The Johnson landslide aided the Democratic Party add- ing approximately 30 seats to its present sizeable majority in the House. The new lineup gives the Democrats approximately 280 seats in , the congressional body com- pared to about 155 for the GOP.

Staebler conceded defeat at 2:25 a.m. Earlier, Staebler had postponed "indefinitely" a scheduled press conference and anticipated con- cession due to an alleged 12 per cent discrepancy in the tabulation of the Wayne County vote. It was subsequently announced the mat- ter had been "straightened" and that even with the error, Romney still held the edge. Earlier in the evening, Staebler told reporters that the four- month - old D e t r o i t newspaper See GOVERNORS', Page 8 Won 10 Statewide totals at 2:30 a.m., however, indicated that Demo- crats had won 10 and were leading for 15 of the Senate's 38 seats.
