Stephens said in Roanoke that he
had never sought support Of Sem
ator Byrd in his campaign for
Governor.
Senator Byrd shortly thereafter
released the transcript of CORE
spondence which disclosed Mr..
Stephens had asked for the SEM
ator's Endorsement last winter.
On the other hand, Mr.. Har-
rison failed to disclose publicly,
until after his campaign began. a
conference he had had with
United States Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy over the closed
public schools of Prince Edward
County.
Mr.. Harrison, who resigned as
State attorney general, did not
see fit to inform Governor Al
mond of his meeting with Mr..
Kennedy over Virginia's delicate
racial integration problem.
Boothe q Young Turk
The difference of impact of
these two incidents arises because
disclosure of Mr.. Stephens solicit
tation Of Senator Byrd's support
came in the closing days of the
campaign while Mr.. Harrison's
conference with Mr.. Kennedy was
revealed several months ago.
The bitterest race in Tuesdays
primary is between Alexandria
State Senator Armistead L. Boothe
and State Senator Mills E. God
win. jr., of Suffolk. Both have
been members of the General AS
sembly since 1913, but have almost
completely opposite legislative
records. Mr.. Boothe is running in
the Stephens slate, and Mr.. God
win is aligned with the Harrison
ticket.
Mr.. BOTTLES career began as
zone of the bright young men" of
the Byrd organization. 1t quickly
changed, however. with his align
ment with the maverick Young
Turks" movement which opposed
the conservative tax policies then
in effect.
Mr.. Godwin's alliance with the
Byrd faction has been unwaver-
ing. He is its principal spokesman
on the Senate floor on all basic
issues that see split between
conservative and moderate forces.
Virginia's right-to-work law
and segregation in public schools
are the two leading issues in the
battle for the lieutenant governor
ship.
The fervor with which Mr..
Boothe and Mr.. Goodwin have de-
bated these issues has spread to
involve the other candidates.

Department Joined them in the
Cabinet Room and said, Gentle
men, you have just murdered
yourselves"
1t is in fact difficult to see
how the emancipated BAG will
manage to retain its lustre in the
new circumstances. It is now sim
ply another of the groups which
exist in Washington to float un-
solicited advice upon the Federal
waters.
It has a staff Of only one man
and three secretaries and may be
strained to compete as a source Of
counsel against the highly fl
nanced foundations. It can invite
Government officials to its meet
ingS but it will learn no more from
them than what is generally avail
abe to the pubic.
Motter of Personalities
The old BAG will retain, how
ever. its roster of distinguished
business names, a corps of finan-
cial elite which has prompted
some in recent years to believe
that the BAG had become
somewhat austere social club. The
only regret discernible in the
Commerce Department is that
some two dozen Of the 100 BAG
members, men of striking at
tributes, will not be available for
membership in the new group.
There is a feeling that the
break might have been avoided If
it had not been for the scrappy
personalities of Mr.. Blough and
Mr.. Hodges. two veteran figures
of somewhat limited flexibility.
Each kept pushing the other
harder until the showdown be-
came inevitable.
The Commerce chief was claim
ing Mr.. Blough's right to name
the members of this elite corps
and proposing to destroy the social
aspect by moving the meetings
from the luxury resort hotels to
the crisper atmosphere in WASH

These efforts were prompted by
the cool reception which Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-07-09

Blough accorded an earlier effort
to dilute the big business at
mosphere of the BAG by adding
some small businessmen. He
agreed to add five new members
but would accept only three from
a list of 10 which Mr.. Hodges
proposed to him. This attitude
was infuriating to. the Secretary.

Republican Hopes in South Soaring

The threat to the Democrats first
emerged in 1852, when Gen. Eli
senhower carried Florida, Okla
homa, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia. Four years later, he won
all of these plus Louisiana and
Kentucky.
In 1860, Richard M. Nixon held
Florida, Kentucky. Oklahoma,
Tennessee and Virginia for his
party and received 48 per cent or
more of the vote in North Caro-
lima. South Carolina and Texas.
The strength shown by the ma
tional ticket in these States helped
local Republicans gain foothold
in their congressional delegations.
Once elected, these men have
shown an uncommon ability to
entrench themselves in their dis
tricts.
AS a result, there are today five
virtually unassailable Republican
Congressman from Texas, Florida
and Virginia who were not on the
political scene before 1852.
In Urban Citodels
The character of their districts
and their voting records is the
tipoff to the secret of the past
decades Republican successes in
Dixie: 1t is the growing metro
politan areas of the South that
nave become the citadels of con-
servatism and Republicanisrm.
Without exception, their philos-
ophy of government and econorn-
les is orthodox conservatism and
their view on civil rights legisla-
ton typically Southern.
In this, there can be no doubt,
they accurately reflect the think
ing of their constituents.
But why should the Southern
cities be increasingly Republican.
while the cities of the North are
overwhelmingly D m ocrat tic?
There are many answers.
The ethnic and religious mi
norities that swell the Democratic
vote in the North are less signifi-
cant in the Southern cities. Or
ganized labor is weaker. There are
fewer Negroes than in some North
ern metropolises, and the Negroes
either do not or cannot vote their
full weight in the population.
Local Democratic machines are
weaker than they are up moth.
On the other hand, the Southern
cities are being constantly ex-

Byrd Organization Faces Severe Test on tuesday

Mr.. Goodwin. while not denying
this, said it was too ridiculous
to be worthy of comment"
The third-place candidates on
the ballot for attorney general
are Robert Y. Button, state sem
ator from Culpeper, who is run
ming on the Harrison-G Goodwin
ticket. and T. Munford Boyd. a
professor of law at the University
of Virginia. on the Stephens
Boothe ticket.
Mr.. Button has a long career
OF public service as a member of
the General Assembly anc as
former member of the State
Board Of Education.
Blind Since Boyhood
Mr., Boyd attracts unusual in
terest becadse he has been blind
since early childhood. He has
waged a vigorous campaign new
ertheless.
In the area of widest difference
between candidates, Mr.. Boothe
has accused Mr.. Goodwin of be-
ing among the school closers"
in the legislature.
Mr.. Goodwin says in Northern
Virginia, as well as in Southside,
Il have no apologies to make" for
his vote for the former massive
resistance" laws which required
automatic closing of integrated
public schools. These laws since
have been invalidated by court
orders.
I'VE lost our bout with the
Federal Government on the school
Indignation question but my vote
helped preserve segregation as
long as possible" Mr.. Goodwin
contends.
Mr.. Boothe's contention is that
this has been a campaign between
school closers and those who
would keep our public free schools
OPEN"
Public Schools for All"
Il can cite chapter and verse
Of my opponents record in the
General Assembly of Virginia"
Mr.. Boothe says. 1T is one of
closing every public school in vir-
ginia that has been ordered to
integrate. say that we must have
public education for all of the
children Of, Virginia"
The present campaign seems
to be following a pattern of pre-
vious years in which the Byrd
organization usually comes up
with a "gimmick" in the closing
days to defeat the opposition. This
year it is the disclosure of Mr..

phrey. Treasury Secretary in the
Eisenhower administration, was
introduced to make an unsched-
uled speech which quickly became
a criticism of the Hodges ep-
proach toward the BAG. The
Government officials sat through
the program and left with a
feeling that the week end had
been a waste of time and some
what diSagreeable.
This mood ripened into a stiff
letter from Mr.. Hodges to Mr..
Blough in which the Secretary
proposed some reforms including
his right to influence the sgenda
of the meetings, pick the mem
bers, and move the sessions to
Washington. 1t was against
these conditions that Mr.. Blough
moved in, proposing the divorce
to the President. It was not, by
modern standards, an amiable
separation.

The most serious threat to arise
from within the ranks of the
conservative Byrd Democratic or
ganization, which has ruled Vir-
ginia affairs for So years. will
reach climax Tuesday in a
primary to nominate candidates
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor
and attorney general.
What started out as a Demo-
cratic family spat has evolved
into the sharpest cleavage ever to
occur within the organization.
Not since 1858, when Re-
publicans made a nearly-success-
full bid for Governor, have Byrd
supported candidates run as scared
as in the current campaign.
Never before has. the organiza-
ton had to face an opposing
slate for all three State offices in
Q Democratic primary.
The present race is unusual. too.
In that the issues developed Cor
the second place Spot-the office
of Lieutenant Governor-have
overShadowed, with few excep-
tons, the campaign for Governor.
Not Too Far Aport
Actually, the heads of the two
tickets, 1t. Gov. A. E. S. Stephens
and former Attorney General
Albertis s. Harrison, jr., the
candidates for Governor, are not
too far apart on basic issues.
Mr.. Stephens. who had been a
member Of the Byrd organiza-
ton throughout his 81 years Of
public life, came to a parting Of
the ways in May when he
characterized that organization as
"a smooth-running machine
operated by a close exclusive
inner-circle Of advisers that re-
fused to allow new blood, new
talent, to break through"
In that speech, which came
after Senator Byrd's tacit in
dorsement Of the Harrison ticket,
Mr.. Stephens added:
Consider, for example, this
true but shameful circumstance:
In Virginia It is not unusual for
an inner circle of five men-four
of them puppets-to chart in
secret session the course of action
for our whole State"
Strotesic0I Errors
This declaration Immediately
brought charges from the Harri-
son camp that Mr.. Stephens was
a "turncoat."

In 1947, there were four cam

Arnold of Petersburg, a fountains

Dolton Come Close
In the closing days of that cam
paign a letter was displayed
showing that James C. Petrillo, /.
president of the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians (AFL-CIO) ;.
had urged support of Mr.. Miller.
That letter branded MIR. Miller
as a labor" candidate tag
currently being attached to Mr..
BoothS in the Lieutenant Cover /,
nor's race.
Mr.. Battles victory in 1947 was
by plurality. He received fewer
votes than two of his principal
opponentS-Mr. Miller and Mr..
Edwards, not counting those for
Mr. Arnold.
In 1858, Republican Ted Dali
ton appeared to the first member .
of his party since Reconstruction .
Days headed for the Governors
chair until he proposed a bond L.
issue to speed up Virginia's road
construction program. Senator
Byrd Immediately jumped into
that campaign by defending the
pay aS-you-go" road plan he had I.
initiated while Governor more
than 80 years ago.

Even so. Republican Dalton, now
Federal judge. polled As per cent
of the votes in the general cleo
ton. The present Governor, Lind

who then was lieutenant governor, 3.
took Mr.. Dalton's narrow defeat
as warning that Virginia's Dem .
ocratic organization must broad
en- its horizons" to include younger
people.
In 1857, Mr.. Dalton appeared
to be making Roadway in q Sec
ond attempt TO win the govern :
or's chair until President Eisen-
hover sent Federal troops into
Little Rock. Coming as it did
while Virginia was dealing with
racial problems in public schools,
this incident helped defeat Mr..
Dalton.

LAS sure as I sit here" the man
said, I'VE will carry Arkansas for
President in 1868 - and maybe
in 1864"
The astonishing thing about the
statement was that it was made
in the office of the Republican
National Committee by a presum-
ably serious official, I. Lee Potter,
charged with tending Republican
interests in the South.
His prediction looked less alb
Surd when he pointed out that
the G. o. P. presidential nominees
had won more than 46 per cent.
of the major-party vote in Ar
kansas in both 1856 and 1860.
Another Rockefeller
Natural momentum would have
taken us over the top in the next
eight years." Mr.. Potter said, "but
now that we have Rockefeller
working with us, we may make
it in four"
The Rockefeller he referred to
was not the New York Governor
but his brother, Winthrop, newly
elected Republican national COM
mitteeman from Arkansas.
The Arkansas story, Mr.. Potter
said, is only part of Frightening
G. o. P. picture across the South.
Recently returned from a swing
through eight Dixie States, the
national committee official said
last months Senate victory by
Republican John Tower in Texas
has given a tremendous incen-
tive" to Southern Republicans.
Senator Tower himself will seek
to turn that incentive into action
after Congress adjourns with a
series of speeches designed to
brief other Dixie G. o. P. leaders
on the way the Texas victory was
achieved.
Future Of the Party
Whether the young Texans
triumph turns out to be the break
through in the long Republican
buildup in the South remains to
be seen. But at least it offers
solid evidence that Republicanism
in Dixie is no freak phenomenon
but clear and present danger to
continued one-party rule of that
region.

Their mood changed abruptly
when Mr.. Macleod turned his de-
colonizing zeal to East and Cen
trail Africa-where some 100000
English, Scots, Irish, South Afri-
cans and ScandinavianS make
their home on cool tablelands and
amid Snow-capped mountains -
and began handing the control
over those salubrious areas to
African politicos.
Return Of Lord Salisbury
The white settlers, mindful of
the fate which befell the Dutch
in Indonesia and the Belgians in
the Congo after native regimes
came to power, appealed to their
friends and relatives for help.
Their anguiShed cries have now
brought Lord Salisbury back into
the political arena for their sake.
Lord Salisbury. a Knight of the
Garter and the grandson of Queen
Victoria's last great prime min
lister, is for the British Conserva-
tiveS in somewhat similar posi-
ton to that which the late SEN
ator Taft occupied in the Repub-
lican Party here.
A slim. long -limbed man with
rubicand face and lively, kindly
eyes, Lord Salisbury is at 81, after
Winston Churchill, the most re-
Spected figure in British politics.
Belonging to the same generation
as Anthony Eden and Prime Min
lister Macmillan-he fought in
France as a subaltern with the
Grenadier Guards in the First
World War-Lord Salisbury never
shared the hope of becoming
Prime Minister: A hereditary peer,
he was disbarred from that honor
by an unwritten, yet strictly OBJ
served rule which has prevailed
in this century. Yet his political
stature came to be recognized be-
fore theirs; For 20 years he has
led the Tory forces at the House
of Lords, holding primacy over
many elder statesmen who had
been kicked upstairs" to get them
out Of the way and who had We'd
with him for the position. Thus
IN January, 1857, it was he who
sponsored Mr.. Macmillan for the
job of Prime Minister.
Much like his famous grand
father and like his American con-
temporary, Lord Salisbury owes
his political ascendency to his
Straightforward nature, a critical
and independent mind, and very
sharp tongue.
Was Under Secretary
He first emerged into limelight
in May, 1888. He was then an
Undersecretary for Foreign At
fairs in the government of Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain, and
was required to put his signature
to some new agreements which, on
Chamberlain's orders, had been
negotiated with the government
of Benito Mussolini. Salisbury
baked.
1t was perfectly all right, he
argued when the quarrel spilled
out in Parliament, to negotiate
with authoritarian states. But the

out, had been welshing on his
previous commitments, and any
further dickering with him-be-
fore he lived up to his promises
