Democrats Avoid Action Against Wallace Backer Rarick
Washington, UPI The House Democrats voted 87 to 85 to table a censure resolution against Rep. John Rarick of Louisiana who bolted the party to back George Wallace. The DSG had sought to strip him of seniority, a fate shared years ago by John Bell Williams and Albert Watson, both ousted for backing Goldwater. Rarick’s district backed Wallace, and he minimized the move.
