Fulbright Opponent Spars Over Cuban Policy in Arkansas
In Little Rock on Monday Sen J William Fulbright and challenger Dr Kenneth Jones clashed over Cuba and voting records. Jones called Fulbrights stance liberal and un sound while Fulbright said Jones data was groundless and his record would stand. Jones and Fulbright sparred about positions before Jones outlines his views. The state Democratic party opened a campaign HQ in Little Rock to back Democrats facing GOP challenges including Governor Faubus and lawmakers. James H Pilkinton of Hope named campaign manager to aid southern counties. Fortunes in the Cuban debate and Kennedy memory shaded a busy political day as the race heads to November 6.
