Georgia Out To Get Delegate James Bond
A newly elected Negro state representative released a toned-down policy statement on Vietnam to keep his seat as a House committee investigates his qualifications. Georgia House actions follow a petition to oust Julian Bond amid protests over his Civil Rights era stance and draft card remarks. Bond asserts no call to burn draft cards and argues inclusion of policy roles for dissenters. The 205-member House formed a committee to study Bond’s eligibility, while the Negro delegation largely abstained from party activities.
