opponent a clear-cut victory in
the Democratic primary.
s,Judge Davis, an influential
and controversial member of
the House District Committee,
trailed Charles Weltner, "a
year-old Atlanta attorney, by
2,111 votes in Wednesdays pri-
mary. Judge Davis and Mr..
Weltner were forced into a run
off September 26 because two
minor candidates who qualified
at the last momel.ts :, Wyman c.
Lowe and John L. Respess, drew
O. total of 1871 votes.
However. what really barred
ap outright victory for Mr..
Weltner was the fact that
many Negroes decided to re-
frain from voting in that race
or voted for Judge Davis. The
Republicans repeatedly would
rather have Judge Davis as an
opponent and they have been
enlisting Negro support.
The Republican candidate,
L. j. (Jim) O'Callaghan, At
year-old businessman and for
mer president of the Atlanta
Board of Education, declared
that the Republicans had no
hand in the way Negroes voted
in the Democratic primary.
Regardless of whether Re-
publican strategy played a part,
the fact is that Mr.. Weltner
could have won with the Ne
gro vote.
- $4,000 Negroes Abstained
An analysis Of election re-
turns shows that about $4,000
Negroes voted in the Cover
nOr's race in the 5th congress
sipnal district last Wednesday.
Bnt only about 10000 voted in
the congressional race and at
least 10 per cent Of them voted
for Judge Davis.
Judge Davis, with the pow
erful backing of the Georgia
Power Co. and other business
and industrial interests, spent
large sums Of money on news
paper. television and other ad-
vertising q few days before the
primary. During the early days
Of the campaign, however, he
remained in Washington.
Representative Davis says he
"hit the ground running" after
the primary and will remain
here for the run-off and the
general election in an effort to
save his seat. He is blanketing
the district with advertising.

Atlonto Constitution.
Mr.. Weltner, who said his
campaign funds were exhausted
by the day of the primary, says
he now has pledges Of ample
funds for a hard race"
He predicts most of the II, ,311
voters who cast ballots for Mr..
Lowe and Mr.. ReSpeSs, in the
primary will switch to him in
the run-off, because they were
anti-Davis votes"
Judge Davis predicted a great
"switchover" to his side in the
run-off, when I explain my
record to the voters" He said
he had been misrepresented by
"Weltner and the Atlanta
newspapers" during the primary
campaign.
Record Under Attack
Mr.. weltner has emphasized
Judge Davis negative record on
slum clearance, public transit,
expressways and other public
projects.
"In the campaign for the
run-off," Mr.. Weltner said,
I'm just stressing that this is
the third time the people Of
this district have rejected
James Davis"
In two previous primaries
Judge Davis lost the popular
vote. but was elected under
Georgia's iniquitous county
unit system which was thrown
out by Federal court order ear
lier this year.
Most political observers agree
that Judge Davis is fighting an
uphill battle, regardless Of the
Negro vote.
He is not at all sure of win
ming the Democratic nomina-
ton, of course, and whoever
wins the runoff faces strong
opposition from Mr.. O'Cal-
laghan.
The fact that fewer people
vote in the general election be-
cause Democratic nomination
has always been tantamount
to election will help the Re-
publican candidate.
Another factor is that a Re-
publican candidate would at
tract some of Judge Davis
business support.
Mr.. O'Callaghan said he Is
confident Of victory regardless
Of whom he faces.

Federal Puy
Raises Urged
ByAFL-CIO

CHICAGO, Aug. IA (AP).-
The AFL-CIO Executive Coun-
Gil today asked Congress to
pass and President Kennedy to
approve legislation for ample
pay increases" for all postal
and classified Federal workers
The council, at its quarterly
meeting, said in a statement
the workers deserve economic
equality with civilian workers
right now"
The statement did not say
how much money the council
sought for the workers.
The statement continued:
I'VE go on record urging that
the pay bill that emerges (from
CongreSs) offer more money to
the lower levels than would be
provided by the administra-
TONS pay reform program and
that the increases become eff
fective before next January l."
These workers. the statement
said, "are in desperate need Of
a pay increase"
The workers cannot wait for
three years to get a pay in
crease that will pull them up
to a level which. by the ad-
ministration's own admission,
they should have been getting
two years ago."

linked by a Senate committee
to the postal rate rises the
House passed. The predictions
on Capitol Hill are that the
President will get this bill in
a form he believes requires a
veto.
Mr.. Kennedy's theme for the
fall campaigning was a famil-
lar one.
He served notice he would
charge the Republicans with
vetoing every move the Demo-
Gratis made to improve the
country's position. He applied
the term dark ages" to OPP
ponents of his proposal to fl
nance health for the elderly
through social security.
All Of this seemed to add up
to a scattergun attack on his
critics and a reliance on Con-
gresS an the economy to pull
the Democrats through a non
presidential year election
where the party in control of
the White House has lost
ground in every biennial test
since 1884.

State industrial development

Mr.. De Martz said he didn't
hear Mr.. Kennedy talk about
him because he was working
the night shift at the time.
He said Labor Secretary
Goldberg had phoned him at
the plant and asked him if it
would be all light for the Presi-
dent to use his name.
He (Mr. Goldberg asked
me questions about my history

he was pleased, explained Mr..
DeMartz, a Democrat. Il told
him I'd be perfectly satisfied
for Mr.. Kennedy to use my
name"
ITO tell the truth" he said,
Il didn't even ask off. I was
all excited. I've been working
only a month and didn't want
to ask off count I had no work

Mr.. DeMartz said the family
was flooded with telephone
calls and it was the most ex-
citing time in his life.

10 months.
One chart he pointed to
showed that because Americas
wealth has increased, the per-
centage of the national debt
to the Nations wealth has gone
down from 100 per cent in 1945
to so per cent.
Turning to a discussion Of
taxes, Mr.. Kennedy said "the
right kind Of tax cut at the
right time is the most effective
measure that this Government
could take to spur our economy
forward"
In the absence Of an eco
nomic crisis now, he said the
right time for permanent basis
reform and reduction in tax
rates is next January.
By removing tax roadblocks
to new jobs and new growth,
he said tax reduction next year
will eventually more than make
up in new revenue all that is
will cost initially.

available at the White House
for release as the President
spoke, Mr.. Mills said he in
dorsed fully the Presidents de-
cision, not to ask for a tenn
porary tax cut at this time.
He said he was not convinced
that any such action now is
required for economic reasons.
For Sound Reform
But Mr.. Mills reiterated that
tax reform is desirable at any
time" and added:
Il am convinced that a sound
program of tax reform by i'm
proving incentives. by increas-
ing profits and consumption
and making possible moderni-
cation and expansion of pro-
ductive facilities, can result in
the most desirable long-range
economic consequences.
Il will certainly be interested
in legislation in this area in the
next Congress"
Mr.. Mills said he believes
there will be sufficient num-
bers Of people exhausing their
State unemployment compen-
sation benefits in some States
ito justify again enacting a
program Of temporary unem-
ployment compensation for at
least the. fall and winter
months"
In urging Americans all over
the country to help push
through Congress measures he
has recommended for the
common purpose" of jobs and
growth, the President said this
country would still be in the
Dark Ages economically if we
permitted the opponents of
progress and defenders of spe-
cial privileges and interests to
veto every forward move"
Would Control Spending
He emphasized that he does
not intend to let Federal
spending get out of control.
He said he takes some pride in
the fact that the actual burden
of the national debt in rela-
ton to the Nations output has
been reduced during his ad-

Draws Favor
In Business

NEW YORK. Aug. IA APP
President Kennedy's size-up
Of the economy and tax-cutting
plans drew a generally favor
able response today in the BUSH
ness and financial community.
However, his approach was
criticized IL some quarters as
political.
Several said they had ex-
pected all along the President
would recommend deferral of
"a reduction in corporate and
individual income taxes until
next year.
Martin Gainsbrugh, chief
economist for the National In
duStrial Conference Board.
called Mr.. Kennedy's analysis
of the state of the economy
well balanced with one excep-
ton.
HE didn't place as much
emphasis as I thought he
should have on the sluggish
ness of the capital investment
sector of the economy" Mr..
Gainsbrugh said.
A board survey Just COM
pleted showed businessmen in
the April-June quarter trimmed
plans for outlay on plant and
equipment by IL per cent from
those of the January-March
quarter. Mr.. Gainsbrugh called
this an ominous sign.
Market Reaction Slight
Wall Street investment ana
lysts saw only a mild reaction
in the stock market, holding
that investors anticipated what
the President was going to say.
The market opened mixed to-
day and was slightly higher in
morning CraQlng.
William Zeckendorf, chair
man Of Webb & Knapp, Inc,
New York real estate firm,
called the televised address
very partisan" politically.
He said Endorsement of an
emergency tax cut would have
implied the economy had weak
ened under Democratic rule and
its rejection was to be expected.
The National Association of
Manufacturers had no imme-
date comment. Neither did
Roger M. Blough, chairman of
the board of U. S. Steel Corp.
In Chicago, disagreement
with the Presidents analysis
came from Arnold C. Schu-
macher, economist of the Chi
cago Title & Trust Co., who
urged a tax cut right away.
Carter KiSsell, president of
National Steel Castings Co. in
Cleveland. said he didn't share
the Presidents optimism about
the economy, but Arnold Mare
mont, Chicago induStrialist,
said there was no ground for
the slightest peSSimiSm.
In Miami, David I. Welt,
president of the Greater Manu-
facturers Association, called for
a long-range tax cut with one
fourth at the lowest level.
Generally approving the
Kennedy thinking, Jerome K.

would have a "Salutary" effect.
