Bayh weighs presidential bid amid 1972 fratricide fears
Senator Birch Bayh says he may seek the Democratic nomination in 1972 despite infighting that could help Nixon. He vows a campaign free of personal attacks on Muskie or McGovern, aims to offer a viable Democratic alternative, and doubts vice presidential run. He criticizes Agnew for fomenting national division while Vietnam aims for complete withdrawal.

Byrd Denies Race Bias and Civil Rights Record
Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, newly named assistant Democratic Senate leader, insists he is not anti black and defends past Klan ties as a youthful mistake. He says his civil rights votes and employment of Black Americans show his record, while addressing critics on Face the Nation and denying implications about Kennedy. In Hartford, Sen. Muskie warns Congress may again limit U.S. involvement in Indochina if Nixon expands air support in Cambodia.
