McCarthy Poised For New Hampshire Clinton Style Surge
Democratic officials expect Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy to win a substantial share in New Hampshire on March 12 as party plans President Johnson’s re election campaign. A source predicts 30 to 35 percent, noting McCarthy is on the grounds. No Johnson Humphrey visits planned. Massachusetts primary chatter is unlikely to affect Johnson's ticket strategy. In a separate note, a window-smash burglar stole two gold pendant watches worth 88 dollars from Acton Jewelers in Long Beach.
