Duffy Says Carton
Plays Upon Fears
Of Ill Citizens
COP State Chairman n
hits Blaming OF ''Par-
ty Brass" For Segre-
gatiOn-IntegratiOn Pro-
blem.

Republican State Chairman G.
Edward Duffy has charged that Rep.
Irving II. Carton (D-DOver), is
trying to inject into politics the sin
cere and deep-seated fears and ap-
prehensiOns Of all Of our citizens.
He said the political morality Of
Delaware Democrats reached an
all-time low last Wednesday night
when Mr. Carton, discussing the
school construction bond bill,
blamed the continuing segregation
integratiOn problem on the high
brass" of the Republican Party.
Mr.. Dufy's statement follows:
The political morality Of the
Democrat Party has reached an all
time low in Delaware with Repre-
sentative Irving H. Cartons state
ment on the floor Of the House Of
Representatives on November 2ad.
The only excuse which could pos
sibly be offered for him Is that il
has been such a long and tedious
Legislative session that his pate
became somewhat added (this is
the English translation Of Greek
root Adlai) But, at least he cannot
blame the length Of the session on
the Republican "high brass" or the
middle brass or even on the Gym
balls. The Overwhelming Democrat
majority in the Legislature just
does not have enough sense to 60
home.
But let us get back to Represen-
tative Carton. He is trying 70 in.
