Wallace Fights Image Of A Scrapper In Alabama Governor Bid

Wallace portrays himself as a fighting judge type in the Alabama governor race. Biography highlights include Barbour County roots, Golden Gloves success, and service as a B 29 flight engineer. He clashed with a federal court over voter registration files in 1958, denying access to records and drawing a contempt citation. The veteran politician has history in the state House, judgments on tax and trade school legislation, and ties to Gov. Folsom. He and wife Lurleen have four children and he attends Clayton church activities.
