tinuation of the “New Deal” in
the eyes of Kenneth Crawford,
Newsweek columnist and for
twenty-two years a member of the
Washington press corps.
Speaking to an audience of Car
rolltonians and West Georgia
College students in the college
auditorium, the distinguished
journalist pointed out parallels
between the domestic policies of
the present administration and
the policies of the 30’s which
came to be known as the New
Deal.
“Virtually everything the pres

Mr. Crawford said.

Evaluating President Johnson’s
programs, Crawford remarked
that the war on poverty “remains

Also in the field of civil rights
the commentator feels that “pro

great fraction of the Negro com

believe that it will get a great
deal more than it will out of
(civil rights) legislation.”
VIET OPPOSITION
In foreign affairs Crawford ex
pressed support of the U. S.
government’s activities in Viet
Nam. Opposition to the Viet Nam
war is not as great, he stated,
as the opposition to this country’s
emergence from a policy of isola

The next Congressional election
