South Holds The Key To Deadlock
Electoral College; Can It Be Done?

It can mean Gotterdam-
merung - Twilight of the Gods.
The fact remains that an over
played hand is oyerplayed. In
other words. it means weakness.
What weakness in Khrushchev
at this moment means to the
free lands, TO civilization and to
survival on the planet. no one
can say.
Terrible things have happened
in the hour before dawn.
In our President there il no
weakness. no sickness, no fear,
ne offbalance. AT this writing
| believe his people are conf
dent that he is playing il straight
and playing it right.
AS II WAS AFRAID 1T
WOULD, there begins to be
backWash from Princeton's re-
cent Conference on the Indust-
realization of the South. Editor
Holland, of The Birmingham
News, who was present and on
the program, wrote afterwards
that there seemed to be general
agreement that the race Issue
was not hurting the South'e in
ustrial development at this
point

McGill, Harry Ashemore or

mitted to the contrary for sake

reported that conference opinion
was that race trouble isn't re-

ness Week reports seemingly
that it is indeed retarding in

closely, the magazine seems to
be saying Just the reverse, or a
third thing. It seems to say that
if industries don't stop coming
here they are going to affect
the race picture. That is quite
different from saving either that
the race picture is going to keep
industries away or that it is rot.

this column that deadlocking the
electoral college is mot easy,
but it can be done" He thinks
there are a lot Of Southerners
who at least would like to try
it." Recent issues of Mr.. Law
rence's U. S. News and World
Report have discussed another
Southern bolt" as indicated.
I can't agree with him that
deadlocking this year would be
very hard. With division of votes
between the two parties so close
and the South far more in re-
volt than in 1913, it is easy to
imagine.
The question is whether it
would be a good thing.
Not all who are proposing to
be free electors this year have
it in mind. Some mean only the
simple business of choosing free
ly between the Democratic and
the Republican nominee while

Mr.. Mitchell said he was
criticizing both sides-thoSe
who contend Senator Kennedy,
the Democratic nominee, is not
qualified for the presidency be-
cause he is a Catholic, and sup
porters of Senator Kennedy
who raise the religious issue.
Hits Truman on Issue
In the latter category, he
listed former President Tru-
man and Robert F. Kennedy,
the Senator's brother and cam
paign manager. Mr.. Truman
has said the Republicans are
bringing the religious issue into
the campaign through the
hack door," Mr.. Mitchell said
Mr.. Kennedy had called re-
igion the top issue of the cam
paign.
The Secretary said Vice Pres
ident Nixon "deplores the emer-
gence of this religious issue"
and completely disassociates
himself" from those who are
raising it.
While conceding that SEN
ator Kennedy's religion may be
a factor" Mr.. Mitchell said
no one should vote either for
Senator Kennedy or Vice Pres
ident Nixon on the basis of re-
ligion.
