Morrison, an executive secretary of a Baltimore Quaker meeting, left a statement through a friend saying he acted to protest U.S. involvement in Viet Nam and the loss of life caused by the war.

Lindsay Wins Narrow NYC Mayoral Victory
Liberal Republican John V. Lindsay defeated Democrat Abra ham D. Beame by 136 144 votes to end 20 years of Democratic control in New York City. Lindsay campaigned across Brooklyn Queens and Manhattan and led late to a near record turnout of about 2.5 million voters. He entered a city with Democrats winning key posts though his win positions him as a potential GOP presidential candidate in 1968 or 1972 while New Jersey and Virginia elected Democratic governors.
