Political clash over Great Society and bipartisan support
Senate leader Mansfield says both parties house nay-sayers and yea-sayers and blames the Democrats for blocking programs. President’s TV rhetoric may have undercut his agenda, while Minority Leader Dirksen’s backing for Great Society is noted. Bilbo Turner offers a crime fighting incentive plan for Memphis drivers with a $25 bonus per reported crime.
