McCarthy Attacks Johnson Backers Before New Hampshire Primary
Sen Eugene J McCarthy accused President Johnson backers in New Hampshire of lying about his Vietnam draft stance at a hastily called news conference a day before the primary. He challenged Sen Thomas McIntyre to defend radio ads calling him anti draft and urged withdraw of the alleged falsehoods. McCarthy outlined selective conscientious objection as a path to draft reform and warned of prosecutions for those who refuse. The protest comes as Gov John King warned that McCarthy gains could trigger cheers in Hanoi.
