Negro Wins Nomination for Sheriff in Alabama
Lucius A. Amerson, 32, former postal worker, won the Democratic nomination for sheriff of Macon County in a runoff, becoming the first Negro nominated for the post in Alabama since Reconstruction. The statewide results showed several Negro candidates defeated, including notable attorney Fred D. Gray, with eight Negroes failing to win legislative seats. Amerson may face Republican opposition in November, while the sheriff’s incumbent, Hervey Sadler, appears unlikely to be unseated.

Demos Reject GOP Changes to Medicaid Law in Albany
Democrats on the Joint Legislative Committee on Health and Medicare rejected Republican proposals to tighten New Yorks Medicaid law. GOP ideas included a deductible plan requiring two percent of annual medical costs for those above 80 percent of the income eligibility level, with a $6 000 family of four threshold. Senator Seymour Thaler noted Democrats opposed the plan, and the 12 member panel could not issue a majority without bipartisan support. A private insurance groups report was also received as the meeting continued.
