thetic Democrats won't make 1t
to the polls. Because of this
prospect, there is an outside
possibility Mr.. Cox will become
the first Republican to take
over the governors mansion in
"a years.
These conclusions - three
weeks before the votes are cast
are based on a Statewide
evaluation made by the Hous-
ton Chronicle the past IL days.
Nine correspondents inter
viewed political experts" and
the man on the street-both
Republicans and Democrats
for their opinion on how the
races will go for governor, Con-
gressman-at-large, and lieuten-
ant governor.
These are the only State
wide races in which Republic
can candidates are conceded a
chance of victory.
Foe of HOffa
Surprisingly, Des Barry of
Houston, G. o. P. candidate
for Congressman-at-large, may
come closer than any other Re-
publican to winning State
wide. He is the truck company
operator who gained national
publicity as 1.-THE man who
whipped Hoffa" in a fight over
the Teamsters Unions effort
to organize Mr.. Bar1y's COM
pany.
Mr.. Barry's opportunity lies
in the threatened scratching of
his opponent, Joe Pool of Dali
las, by Negro, Latin American,
liberal and labor voters who
generally vote Democratic.
Considerable split-ticket vot-
ing is indicated. The contest
for governor is the only one
generating widespread interest.
Even here, no great enthusiasm
has been developed, particu-
larry for the Democratic can
didate.
Mr.. Connally's biggest prob
lens are the indifference of
many Democrats across the
board and the antipathy of
conservative Democrats toward
anyone who has been identi-
fled so closely with Vice Presi-
dent johnson and President
Kennedy-in that order.
Deserted Democrats
While Mr.. Connally has
made great strides to hold con-
servatives in the Democratic
fold, many indicate they will
go with Mr.. Cox, who deserted
the Democratic Party last year.
If Mr.. Connally's local work.
ers can make Democrats be-
stir themselves to vote, they
think Mr.. Connally may run
up margins as high as rs to
80 per cent of the vote in
some east and south Texas
counties and in a strip of ira
ditionally Democratic counties
running from north Texas
through central Texas. This is
true especially in the rural
areas.
This Democratic strength
will be offset by a strong Re-
publican vote in many of the
larger cities, including Dallas,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-14

Houston, Fort Worth. San An
tonic, Austin, the West Texas
cities of Amarillo, Lubbock,
Midland and odessa, the East
Texas cities Of Tyler and Long
view, and the Rio Grande VAL
ley cities of Brownville and Nc
Allen.
Majority opinion sees Mr.
Cox carrying Dallas County,
the stronghold of Republican
ism in Texas and second only
to Hargis County (Houston) in
poll taxes.
Total Vote Is Key
Harris County is rated a
toss-up, with a slight edge for
Mr.. Cox if the vote is light.
If the total State vote goes
as low as 100000. Mr.. Con-
nally is in serious difficulty
Republicans are counting on a
hard core of at least 100000.
If the vote climbs substan-
TALLY above l million, Mr.,
Connally should move toward
a 60-40 margin or approx
mately 100000 vote majority,
A vote of slightly over l mil
lion is anticipated if the
weather is clear. This compares
with more than is million
cast in the party primaries in
May and IL million in the
June runoffs.
Mr.. Cox has his problems, not
the least of which is the fact
he switched parties after run
ming for Governor as a Demo-
crat in 1860, when he received
more than 100000 votes against
incumbent Gov. Price Daniel.
Though most Republicans are
impressed with his evangelical
campaigning ability, some feel
he is mot quite the candidate
we need" There is minority
criticism Of Mr.. Cox's stress
ing his candidacy as a con-
sentative rather than as a Re-
publican.
Independency Stressed
While there has been much
talk. and speculation about de-
sertion of Mr.. Connally by lib
erals and labor, this has moi
taken shape on a Statewide
basis to any marked degree
There is not the strong feel
ing among liberals for this
course of action that typifieo
the special election of 1861 in
which Republican John Tower
defeated Democrat william A
Blakely for the United States
Senate seat vacated by Lyn-
don Johnson.

stress on the theme that he is

Opening lead: Diamond king.
West opens the king of dia-
monds and South wins and
draws trumps. South next leads
the nine of clubs for a finesse,
losing to the jack.
Back comes the seven Of
spades and South has his
chance to show what kind Of
head he has.
Most declarers would play a
low spade from the South
hand. West plays the eight or
the 10, whichever is needed to
force out dummy's queen.
Continues Clubs
South gets to his hand BY
ruffing a diamond and contin-
ues the clubs by trying anoth-
er finesse. No luck; East wins
with the king of clubs.
Now East leads his other
spade and West takes two
spade tricks to defeat the con-
tract. South weeps bitter tears
about losing both club illnesses
and North assures him he can
find sympathy in the die
tionary. \
If the contract had been

CORE ASKS GOVERNOR.
FOR SPEED

has asked Governor John N.
Dempsey to ask the States Civil
Rights Commission to speed up
it's procedures in cases involv-
ing discrimination In housing.
The CORE group said it plac-
ed a complaint involving a New
Haven Negro couple before the
commission two weeks ago. Ac-
cording to CORE, nearly two
weeks passed before a member
Of the commission talked with
the landlord in this protest"
Governor John N. Dempsey
responded to the request for a
speed-up on discrimination cases
by declaring he would bring
complaints Immediately to the
attention of the Civil Rights
Commission with a request that
1t do everything possible to ac-
celerate its procedures"
According to CORE, the
specific instance Of discrimina-
tion cited in its complaint was
ascertained as follows:
A Negro woman first tried
unsuccessfully to rent the apart
ment, which had been advertis-
ed as vacant.
Following this, two white
CORE members went to the ad-
dress and were told they could
have the apartment. They were
Joined at the scene by two Ne
gro CORE members.
The white couple said they
preferred not to take the apart
nent and suggested that it be
rented to the Negro couple. The
landlord then announced that
he was taking the apartment off
the market and would rent it
to a relative.
The CORE group went on to
charge that four complaints Of
housing discrimination in New
Haven have been before the
commission since September.
In most instances, the CORE
group said, the victims Of dis
elimination give up their at
tempts to secure the desired
apartment or house and seek
other quarters.
The letter concluded with a
call for more frequent meetings
by the Civil Rights Commission,
advocating weekly meetings are
possible.
"If the commission cannot act
within periods more consistent
with reality than six to eight
weeks" it would seem to be Of
little use, the CORE group said.
A commission sp ok SIN a n,
contacted last night, said he
would have to study the CORE
statement before making a di-
rect repy.
He said the commission prides
itself on its rapid response to
complaints. In nearly all cases,
he said, a commission worker
contacts the complainant with
in a day of the receipt Of the
complaint, and the respondent
(landlord) on the following day.
Delays occur, he siad, when
the landlord agrees to reconsider
the matter and offers the apart
ment-seelzer an opportunity to
submit an application for the
desired apartment.
