HENRY J. TAYLOR WRITES . .
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.

, 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.
Now it looks as if some 20 th
Century Eves are going to embrace
the fig leaf again — if we are to
believe the latest fashion reports
in the swim suit field.
