The piece argues Goldwater opponents doubt the law alone guarantees rights while noting federal pressure falters against local resistance. It cites desegregation lag in Southern districts and credits Humphrey for pushing enactment, though acknowledges ongoing work remains to ensure compliance.
The piece argues Goldwater sees Civil Rights as a start and favors governors and mayors hosting conferences to apply the law. It notes such meetings could foster cooperation, cites Southern conferences leading to desegregation in hundreds of communities, warns that massive resistance risks violence and federal troops, and calls his vote against the program irresponsible.
The Bennington community celebrates near completion of a cancer research facility and the relocation of the United Counseling Service headquarters near Putnam Memorial Hospital. Dr Helene W Toolan will contribute to cancer research while closer hospital proximity enhances patient care for both organic and emotional disorders. The move improves public education on mental health and positions Bennington as a forward looking town.
A progress report from Greenville South Carolina describes a plan to convert a municipal swimming pool to a sea lion pool to exclude Black residents. The cartoonish suggestion is criticized as a new gimmick to avoid integration and evokes a dark historical comparison to Christians thrown to lions.
A congressional hearing frames coal as Appalachia’s bread while automation drives fewer jobs. The piece traces wages from 1949 to 1964, the rise of the continuous miner and long wall machines, and nonunion dog hole pits that employ small crews amid declining employment.
New York GOP leaders map a fall campaign focusing on preserving control of the state legislature and GOP congressional seats if Barry Goldwater secures the presidential nomination. They warn Goldwater could complicate races for state offices, with Rockefeller backing Scranton cited and Keating’s Washington bid unsettled.
In a Berkshire Eagle analysis, the piece weighs Goldwater and Scranton campaign pitches against current party strength. It notes Republicans hold 16 governors to Democrats 34, 33 senators to 67, and 178 vs 254 House seats, with limited gains expected in nonpresidential races. Voters have trended Democratic across regions, making a nationwide swing unlikely.
