Baker Sees Pool Victory as Rebuke to Johnson
Baker campaigned in El Paso arguing that a runoff win by Joe Pool would rebuke President Johnson due to Pool's anti administration stance. Pool, in Beaumont, defended full postal service and opposed cutting hours and staff, stressing public trust in government. Baker warned Texans that national repercussions would follow the June 6 runoff. Ex Queen Narriman of Egypt lost a Cairo court case about a beating claim, the ruling allowing a husband’s right to beat a disobedient wife if no permanent injury results.
