Johnson Urges
Nofion Strike
Chains Of Bios

Detroit. - Vice President Lyn-
don B. johnson said that the ma
ton must now strike the chains
of bias and prejudice from minds
and practices" just as Abraham
Lincoln struck down slavery a cen
tury ago.
To-day, one hundred years
later" Johnson said, ut is the
challenge, the duty, and the op-
portunity of our generation to
direct our efforts toward overcom-
ing the vestiges of what the EN-
ancipation Proclamation of 1868
ignores"
The Vice President made the
statements in a speech prepared
for delivery at Wayne State Univ
ersity's commemoration of the
signing of the proclamation under
which Lincoln freed the slaves.
while we in America have
freed the slave of his chains, we
have not freed his heirs of their
color. Until justice is blind to color,
until education is unaware of race,
while opportunity ceases to squint
its eyes at pigmentation of human
complexions, emancipation will be
a proclamation - but 1t will not
be a fact" johnson said.
Stressing the nations need for
scientists and scholars, he declared
that America needs the resources
Of all its young minds without
regard to heritage or religion or
region" Johnson, who heads the
Presidents Commission on Job OPP
portunity, estimated that the an
nual economic cost of discrimina-
ton by Americans is more than
the annual cost of the space pro-
gram.
But the point of our times"

Gerber, Fenwick Clash
In Arlington Campaign

The contest for Arlington's
seat in the State Senate has
begun explosively with the kind
of bitter exchange which usual
ly occurs in later days of a
political campaign.
Republican candidate Robert
j. Gerber has charged that
Democratic incumbent Charles
r. Fenwick was guilty Of CON
flict-of- interest" when he voted
for a bank merger bill last
year.
Mr.. Fenwick Immediately de-
nounced the accusation as cir
responsible, vicious and I'M
founded in fact"
by his own admission, Mr..
Fenwick violated a sacred trust
with the people of Arlington by
voting on legislation in which
he had a direct business inter-
est" Mr.. Gerber said. Although
a substantial stakeholder and
director of the First Virginia
Corp, he voted for legislation
which allows banks to expand
operations throughout the State
by merger with other banks.
"As a result of this legisla-
ton, the First Virginia Corp,
acquired the Richmond Nation
al Bank g. Trust Co., the Shen-
andoah County Bank & Trust
Co., Peoples Bank of Noun
Jackson end Southern Bank of
Norfolk" he declared.
Mr.. Fenwick retorted that the
banks mentioned were acquired
with the approval of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and the Sc
curity and Exchange Commits

erning bank holding companies
rather than under State statute

successful suit by Northern
VirginianS in the case which
now is pending before the SUI
.prene Court.
Appeal 70 BE Taken
The purpose in bringing a
challenge on the reapportion-
ment before a State court, Mr..
Howell said, is to have an APP
peal taken before the Virginia
Supreme Court Of Appeals.
The basic issue involved, Mr..
Howell said, Is whether a citi-
zen is being deprived of his
right to equal representation,
contrary to the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
The present case is being ar
gued before Richmond Circuit
Court Judge E. w. Hening, jr.,
and is expected to be appealed
to the Virginia Supreme Court
Of Appeals, regardless of the
decision.
If the State Appeals Court
finds the reapportionment act
is unconstitutional, Mr.. Howell
said, that win end the matter.
If that court upholds the act,
the United States Supreme
still will make the final deter
mination, he said.
