Barry's Vote Against Civil Rights Seen As Weakening LBJ's WITH THE Senator vote against the civil rights (as finalized) President Johnson no longer a shoo-in. And the perienced Texan knows it, you be dead-sure about that. First, there was the sound Patrick Henry when stood in the Senate and said: my vote is misconstrued, let it be, and let me suffer its Just let me be judged in this the real concern I have voiced here, and not by words that others speak.” Politically, this was mighty, mighty close to “liberty death.” He meant what he said, was undeniably honest in saying what he meant and in the process had a lot of his opportunistic col¬ leagues sitting there sweating like a butcher. WASHINGTON is a cynical place. And cynicism is the savage that has many a politician, and mudb Washington reportage by the throat. But anyone who believes that Senator Goldwater’s perform¬ ance on June 18 will cost him ad¬ miration in our country has little faith in the American people. This appeal by integrity may not be the “mainstream” of the Re¬ publican party, and presistent Re¬ publican defeats seem to prove that it’s not. But it is certainly the mainstream of the Amerioan people. Lyndon Johnson will not under¬ estimate such an opponent. It is awfully hard to read the public mood six months in advance. Men like this sometimes open the doors in the sky. NET, there is the by-product — the vote itself. The political foundation support¬ ing the Senator’s stand is extra¬ ordinarily solid. He stands unequivocally in favor of civil rights. But the nation isn’t faced by an idea or slogan. We all face a 55 -page piece of specific legislation blanketing all 50 states and 185 million people which he sincerey regards as contradictory, unenforceable and unconstitutional — a bill much more loosely drawn and full of holes than the Federal Prohibition Act. He voted against it. Now, then, some repitition of earlier comments in this column is required: THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL is an enormous political liability to Presi¬ dent Johnson and the Democratic party. The President and his party are stuck with the civil rights tur¬ moil politically — and had no choice except to bull some bill through — unconstitutiona or not, unenforceable or not, unbalanced or not, and without due regard for its effect on the majority of the people. The Democrats win the Presi¬ dency through the big, decisive majorities obtained in about 28 major cities and the South. Abso¬ lutely solid Democratic allegiance in most of the Northern vote power cities is indispensable in order to overcome Republican ma¬ jorities elsewhere in the same states. The negro vote is only 10 per cent, at most, of the electorate. It’s overwhelmingly Democratic and Senator Goidwater or any other Republican — is not going to get the negro vote in any case. Thus the Democrats’ civil rights promi¬ nence profits Mr. Johnson nothing. It simply solidifies the one in 10 minority that is already safe in the Democratic camp. BUT WHAT about the 10 -to-l ma jority? There was growing concern, toward the end of his tenure, that President Kennedy wa, encurng. ing minorities to press their causes too fast and too far, which was ad mittedly costing him noticeable losses of support in the big-ctiy S oower centers The backlash is obvious now and has mounted with the growth of militant minority demonstrations.

SHOULD this force continue to , Conway Sees Roads Hot Issue In '64 Assembly By REUBEN SMITH , Atlanta Times Staff Writer State Sen. H. (Mac) McKinley Conway today predicted highways will be a prime issue when the General Assembly convenes next year. Sen. Conway earlier this week introduced a resolution that would have required the State Highway Department to give the legislature information on its program. His resolution was defeated 6-35. “I feel highways will be an im¬ portant issue next session, just like education was this past ses¬ sion,” the Atlanta senator said. Conway’s resolution would have required the highway department to provide the following inform¬ ation by December: 1 . How highway requirements in various parts of the state are de¬ termined; on what basi3 construc¬ tion and maintenance funds are distributed among the geographical areas; and how priorities are as¬ signed to projects. 2 . The method used for measur¬ ing the rate of highway construc¬ tion work; techniques used for ac¬ celerating construction programs; Georgia’s rate of progress in high¬ way construction projects compared with other states; and the status of work of Georgia's portion of the interstate system. 3 . A summary of unit costs in Georgia and in other states, pre¬ sented from data available from impartial national organizations and agencies. 4 . Specific suggestions as to legis¬ lation which might be enacted in the next regular session to help determination of highway needs. Is Fig Leaf Coming Back? Remember the good ole days when a woman blushed if she showed her ankle or her leg? We had come quite a way from the fig leaf of Adam and Eve by then.
