De Gaulle Gets
Confidence Vote
By ALLAN PRIAULX
PARIS (UPI) —A record
turnout of French voters gave
President Charles de Gaulle
loday the national vote of
confidence he demanded for his
“strong man” rule.
Results of Sunday’s first
round polling for a new 486-seat
national assembly assured the
76-year-old general he will have
the majority he wants for the
next five years of making
France “great.”
It indicated De Gaulle will
continue his policies of persona
lized nationalism including his
self-styled role as world peace
maker and critic of U.S. policy
in Vietnam.
“De Gaulle appealed to the
country to return a Gaullist
majority and the country has
heeded his call,” Premier
Georges Pompidou said after
22.8 million voters turned out to
make it France’s greatest
postwar parliamentary election.
The Communist vote rose to
22 per cent of the total. But the
commanding 37.75 per cent lead
taken by Gaullist candidates
virtually assured the president
his ranks will retain their
parliamentary majority after
next Sunday’s runoffs.
De Gaulle on the eve of
election made an unprecedented
call for voter backing. He said
failure to support him would
spell doom for his campaign to
revitalize the country.
France elects its legislators
by proportional representation.
The system enabled Gaullists to
claim victory. But it also
brought the certainty that De
Gaulle’s Communist and leftist
foes will bargain fiercely in the
next 24 hours to pool their
resources in hopes of whittling
down the size of the president’s
majority in the runoffs.
Gaullist leaders showed little
signs of worry. They appeared
convinced the president, who as
usual spent election day seclud-

Black Muslim
Shots Fired
At Policeman
ATLANTA (UPI)—Policeman
Johnnie Caldwell reported he
was twice shot at today as he
drove past a Black Muslim
mosque in southwest Atlanta.
Caldwell said he returned to
the area with another patrol
man minutes later but no one
was found. He said he was
about 75 feet from the mosque
when the shooting took place at
about 4:30 a.m.
The incident was the second
in as many days possibly in
volving members of the anti
white sect.
Five Black Muslims were in
police custody today after they
attacked policemen early Sun
day while being booked on as
aault and battery charges.
Bond was set at $10,500 each.
The Negroes were Identified
us Willie Morris, 26, Grady Rog
ers, 23, Clifford Barksdale, 21,
Carlton Woods, 32, and Marshall
Bing, 23, all of Atlanta. They
identified themselves as mem
bers of the Black Muslim sect.
Police arrested the five after
they allegedly roughed up local

newsstand, where the Muslims
were selling their publication,
“Mohammed Speaks.”
Officers said the five grabbed
pieces of pipe and a hacksaw
from the floor of the station
captain’s office and began beat
ing policemen. Five policemen
and several of the Muslims were
injured in the melee, none seri
ously.
“The officers had a few cuts
and their shirts were bloody
when I relieved them,” one po
liceman said, “but nobody was
hurt bad.”
It took several reinforcements
to subdue the Negroes.
The five were charged with
assault with intent to murder
after the attack.
Stokely Carmichael, chairman
of the Student Nonviolent Co
ordinating Committee (SNCC),
arrived at the station after the
arrests. He apparently came to
observe and made no comment.

Unattractive, aging, close-fitting residential areas exist
in every major city, yet a promise of new life through re
design of such existing conditions has been suggested
by architect Norman Perttula. Taking an actual neigh
borhood corner in Cleveland, Ohio, he presents a plan
for transforming old, but well-maintained houses, into a
complex of comfortable and attractive modern struc
tures. For example, above is pictured part of the existing
neighborhood and below is a sketch of Perttula's plans
for the same three houses.

★ WASHINGTON COUUMN ★
i r .' High Hurdle in "68 Race
j Is Oregon-type Primary
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON (NEA)
The struggle for the 1968 Republican presidential nomina
tion may be significantly affected by a developing trend
toward greater use of the Oregon-style presidential primary—
in which all legitimate candidates are automatically entered
by designated state officials.
Already Nebraska has put a new Oregon-type primary law
on the books. Massachusetts has enacted a modified version.
The New Mexico House recently passed an ’ Oregon” bill
and Gov. David Cargo insists it has a good chance to pass
the state Senate, though there are doubters. Gov. Warren
Knowles backs such a bill, now introduced, in Wisconsin.
And a House committee in Washington state onlv days ago
reported out a near-duplicate of the Oregon measure.
The Washington bill does not presently have influential
sponsorship, but sources in that state say Gov. Daniel Evans
is sympathetic.
In fact, the key sponsor, moderate Stale Rep. Norwood
Cunningham, talks of urging lawmakers in Idaho and
Montana to adopt similar laws so that a block of four north
western states—all voting on the same day in May—could
have major impact on the presidential race.
Even if only one more state actually joins Oregon,
Nebraska and Massachusetts in enacting all-candidate
primaries, the consequences can be major.
They could rock back on their heels those potential
candidates and those political leaders who currently talk of
blocking by a decisive early turn in the 1968 nomination fight
putting together a huge cluster of “favorite son” delega
tions in California, Ohio, Texas and other areas.
It might be extremely difficult for some top party figures
to defend the favorite son device as “giving them time for
a careful look at the candidates," while at the same time
voters in states from New England to the West were offering
hard, impressive evidence as to their preferences.
Furthermore, the Oregon-style primary binds convention
delegates to support the winning candidate for at least one
ballot. Oregon, Nebraska and Massachusetts have 68 delegate
votes in total. Should Wisconsin, New Mexico and Washington
adopt such laws, the figure would be doubled to 136 of the
667 needed to nominate.
The new developments on the primary front could raise
serious problems for particular candidates, too. The much
cherished option of even the most active candidates to enter
or not enter a given primary would be lost to them.
The general Oregon pattern is that the state secretary of
state certifies to the ballot all declared or widely accepted
presidential candidates. (In Massachusetts, that official would
certify lists supplied by major party chairmen.
To get off the ballot, a candidate has to say in an affidavit
that he is not a candidate. He could hardly say this in Oregon
but not in Nebraska.
Since Richard Nixon is especially identified this time with
the waiting game-favorite son strategy, some Republican
leaders think the new trend may have its sharpest impact
on his planning. Gov. George Romney of Michigan already is
committed, by sources in his camp, to following the 1968
primary route.

Birth Rate

WASHINGTON (UPI) —Dur
ing 1966 the U.S. birth rate
declined to the lowest level
since the depression year of
1936 and total births were the
lowest since 1950, according to
the U.S. Public Health Service.
In a report issued during the
weekend, the service said the
birth rate last year dropped to
18.5 births per 1,000 population,
continuing the decline from
1957, the most recent peak year,
when the rate was 25.3.
Births totaled 3,629,000 during
1966, down 131,000 from 1965,
and the fertility rate also
declined to 91.8 births per 1,000
women, the lowest since 1957.
The only rising statistic, the
service said, was the number of
