Democrats in DANCER

There Is a bit more than meets the
eye in the early rush Of conservative
Virginia Democrats to indorse the guber-
material candidacy of State Attorney
General j.. Lindsay Almond, il.
Mr.. Almond is respected member
OF the State Democratic organization, and
he has made good record as ATTORNEY
General. Without a doubt, he is the No. /
choice of the % members of the General
Assembly who have already Endorsed him.
But there is more to the story than that.
The conservative" wing of Virginia's
Democratic Party is in trouble. Above
all, they need to present a solid front,
both in next years primary and in the
general election. Mr.. Almond, while per-
sonally opposed to school Indignation, has
favored stand on that question which
might enable the State to meet the legal
requirements of the Supreme Courts
ruling. In this, he has been at odds with
State Senator Garland Gray, who headed
the commission which produced the So
called Gray Plan, and who later turned
against those proposals Senator Gray
has also shown signs of becoming a pri-
mary candidate for the governorShip. If
that should happen, the organization vote
would be split, and Delegate Robert
Whitehead, liberal Democrat, would
be strongly tempted to toss in his hat, and
he might win.
Even this, however, is not the whole
story. Beyond the Democratic primary
there looms the figure of State Senator
Ted Dalton, Republican, who won As per
cent of the vote in the last gubernatorial
election. If Mr.. Dalton decides to try
again, which he probably will, the Demo-
Gratis certainly will need their strongest
candidate and united party to beat him
If they can beat him. Hence, the early
maneuvers to get Mr.. Almond out in front
Into a position where he will not be
challenged in the primary and from
which the ranks can close behind him.

Good News From Clinton

The results of the municipal election
IN Clinton, Tenn, add up to the best
news that has come out Of that strife
torn community in long time.
School segregation was the main
issue in the election, and the candidate
Tor mayor who was supported by the pro-:
segregation faction went down to defeat
by a 4-to-1 vote. This, perhaps is not
wholly accurate measurement of senti-
ment IN Clinton on the question of inte-
grating its high school. But it does
justify the conclusion that not more than
one-f1fth OF Clinton'S voters are in SYM
pathy with the violent tactics which have
been used to Illustrate the Federal courts
indignation order.
II this is the case, the time is at hand
to press hard for restoration of order and
compliance with the courts decree. At
torney General Brownell, responding to
an appeal for help from the Clinton
School Board, has announced that an
FBI investigation of the disorders is
under way. He has also said that the
Department of Justice will bring before
the court for proper process" all persons
who wilfully violate the school order.
Precisely what this means is not
clear, since the Attorney General added
that protection of Negroes and pres
ervation OF order is primarily" reSpon-
sibility for State and local authorities.
Surely, however, there is ample authority,
especially in the light of the Clinton
election results, to maintain order in that
community If the Department of JUS
tice, the Federal court and the Tennessee
authorities are determined to do so. And
there will be no better time than now
for hrm display of such determination.
