Academic ldeo

Curiously the nudge that was
to start this Republican ava
lanche came from far-off Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania. A graduate
student, whose name has now
been forgotten, was struggling
with that ancient but ever fresh
topic: The two-party South.
He wrote a letter to Chatta-
nooga @. o. p. leaders, which
eventually was passed on to Mr..
Brock. which made these points:
In 1852 the Republican candi-
date for Congress from this Ten
nessee district got 80 per cent
of the vote; in 1854, 40.8 per
cent, and in 1856. 46.3 per cent.
I'm the light of this trend"
the puzzled scholar asked, why
did you stop?"
Mr. Brock found the answer in
escapable, especially in 1860 when
Richard M. Nixon carried the dis
trict by $4,000 votes and posi-

explained, land they make sure
not much Of 1t ever comes down
here"
Nor does Mr.. Brock have the
easy political charm of, say, q
Nelson Rockefeller.
A campaign worker said, "A lot
Of us were concerned because he
didn't snow the people as much
as he should. Early In the cam
paign, as we passed people on
the street, we'd have to kick him
in the seat Of the pants and say,
Shake hands,"

THE President Asked !"

The Governor told an inter-
viewer last week, Il fully intended
to go back to Pittsburgh when
my term as Governor ended in
January" (He was barred by the
State constitution from seeking q
second term.) Then the Presi-
dent wrote me from Palm Beach
and asked me to take this Job.
In my book, when the President
asks something, you don't refuse"
Also" he went on, mo one

how important the way we treat
our own citizens is to the reputa-
ton Of our country. The housing
field is one place we have to build

Federal Intervention In oxford,
Miss, undoubtedly hurt Mr..
Thrasher, too, in a Southern city
like Chattanooga.
So. with a sly grin, Brock
credits his victory to the Presi-
dent.
Two Of Mr.. Brooks grandfathers
were interested in politics. One,
the original william Emerson

The Committee Mission

The executive order Mr.. Ken
nedy signed last November de-
clared that henceforth no dis
elimination would be permitted
in apartments or home Develop
ments financed or insured with
Federal funds. The Equal Oppor-
tunity Committee was assigned to
supervise, coordinate and devel-
op public support for the Govern
ment's unprecedented effort in
this field.
Without minimizing in the least
the challenge he faces, Gov. Law
renee, who was sworn in February
/, Is wasting no time on hand
wringing.
When he held his first meeting
with the departmental representa-
tives on his committee last
Monday he said. 1T would be
both presumptuous and foolish
for me to tell you how we should
conduct this new operation. How
ever, ! do think I should SAY
I intend to see that the
work of this committee and the
purposes Of the Presidents order
are successfully achieved"
One of the men in the meet
ing commented afterward, THE
Governor listened lot more than
he spoke, but there was no doubt
in anyone's mind when we fin
ished who would be in charge"
There was some surprise In the
Capital when Gov. Lawrence &C
cepted what is certain to be a
controversial post. With his SEN
iority and his distinguished rec
ord Of public and party service,
some more comfortable post-say
a pleasant ambasSadorship had
been expected.

A Motter Of Amateurs

Seth Sizer. q young insurance
man who also has a vested in
terest in the art Of persuasion,
looks back at the campaign In
wonder.
Remember" he says, ut was
an amateur deal. Little people
never had been asked to work be-
fore, and it flattered them to be
asked" *
Along the way Mr.. Brock
polished his oratory, although he's
still no William Jennings Bryan.
Arthur @. Veith, University Of
Chattanooga professor who is the
first Republican ever to be elected
to the County Board, says:
I've never in my life seen any
one develop the way Bill Brock
did"
Does this suggest the @. o. p.
can finally make significant
Southern gains? t
Pat Brock, q campaign mana
ger flushed with youth and stic-
cess, thinks 1t does.
THE primary reason the aver
age Southern voter hasn't identi-
fled with the Republican Party"
he says, "is that they've no rea-
son to. BY having a good candi-
date, and putting out the effort,
1t can be done In any area Of
the South"
A close-squeeze district like this
can be hard to win and maybe
even harder to keep. Democrats
are already labelling Mr.. Brock
as a one-term wonder.
"Wishful thinking" Mr.. Brock
says.

A Lot to Learn

Now, Mr.. Brock freely admits
that a new Congressman has O.
lot to learn.
II didn't have a total grasp Of
how the House operates" he said.
Its pretty complicated-at least,
for a businessman like myself"
Mr.. Brock has already learned
one political fact of life: Talk is
cheap. and often valueless.
You're going to learn more by
reading than by listening" he
said.
But he is appalled, at the
amount Of reading he will have
to do.

F. Kennedy, had q similar solu-

mind after he has bumped into
immovable obstacles, but as for
now: I'm fascinated and excited
with it all"
Anyone who wants to under
stand how Mr.. Brock arrived
where he is will have to 60 to

find it easier to discover his hand

Whot's Aheod for Him?

Yet he can't guess what's ahead
for him. OF the 81 new House
members, maybe only a dozen will
achieve national regulations as
future Senators. Governors or
possibly even a President. Hf
Tennessee Republicans like to
play a little game as to which
Democratic Senator they would
rather beat: Albert Gore or Estes
Kefauver2
Right now their interest cen
tiers on Senator Kefauver, up for
reelection in 1865. Like Mr..
Brock, Senator Kefauver lives on
swanky Lookout Mountain, and
Republicans, not above wishful
thinking Of their own, like to

raging there. s-
They've even invented q little
story which goes like this: ar
Senator Kefauver, a close friend
Of the Brooks, dropped around to
tell the Congressman's father
that young Bill shouldn't lease q

than two years since he wouldn't
be needing it any longer than
that. .,r

William E. Brock. jr., is supposed
to have said. Then your WASH

Trout Planted
In New Hatchery

ALCHESAY SPRINGS - The
new $950,00O Alchesay Springs
Fish Hatchery was formally ac-
tivated January 81, 1868, with
the movement of six tons of
rainbow trout into the ponds.
Robert ThoSen, Bureau of
Sports, Fisheries and Wildlife,
is presently in charge of the
new plant and the existing
hatchery at Williams Creek.
THOSEN SAID that the new
ponds at Alchesay will be filled
within 80 days.
The six inch fish which have
been held at Williams Creek
will be planted in reservation
waters in April as nine incherS.
ULTIMATE production capac-
ty of Alchesay is expected to
equal, or exceed, that of the
Williams Creek hatchery.
Both are operated under CO.
operative agreements existing
between the Bureau of Sports,
Fisheries and Wildlife, The Ari-
zona Game Commission and the
White Mountain Apache Tribe.
Two-thirds of the total pro-
duction is scheduled to be plant
ed in reservation lakes and
streams to meet the demands of
the ever-increaSing numbers of
fishermen visiting the area each
year.
COMPLETELY equipped with
the latest in laboratory equip
ment, repair shops, mechanical
fish food conveyors and other
devices, the new plant will be
one of the most efficient in the
country.
An information center with
aquariumS depicting fish found
in the region, plus automatic
message recorders telling of
interesting phases of the hatch
cry operation and other displays
is expected to bring thousands
of visitors to the new plant dur
ing the summer tourist season.
