Faubus Dilemma Clouds Arkansas Gubernatorial Race
Winthrop Rockefeller and Jim Johnson face a confusing campaign as Gov. Orval Faubus steps down after six terms. The main questions center on whether Faubus will aid Johnson, and how party dynamics and the rising Republican challenge affect the 1966 race in a deeply Democratic state. Johnson labels Rockefeller a radical and racist charges echo Johnson’s primary rivals, while Rockefeller targets Johnson’s liberal critics and seeks Democratic defections.
