Virginia Faces Midterm Shakeup In General Assembly
Chief Justice Earl Warren declined to stay a federal court order requiring Virginia to reapportion and cut the terms of state senators to two years by 1966. The order, from a three judge Alexandria court, also calls for a special election, while House terms would be up in 1965. Attorney General Robert Button argued for stay to allow Supreme Court review. Warren did not comment. The order follows a June ruling mandating population based apportionment for both legislative houses.

Goldwater Says Johnson Kidnapped Democratic Party
Senator Barry Goldwater accused President Johnson of kidnapping the Democratic party by selecting Hubert Humphrey as his running mate. He claimed Johnson’s camp is driven by power, fear of scrutiny, and desire for privilege, rallying in Cedar Rapids Iowa with stops in Oshkosh and East St. Louis as part of a Midwest campaign swing. Goldwater touted Republican grassroots support and warned of Johnson’s influence over traditional Democrats, saying the move bundles the party for delivery to Democratic Action, a radical socialist group.
