South Is Split Freshmen United on Indochina and Depletion Votes
The newly empowered House Democratic Caucus shows liberal leanings among southern newcomers. On March 12 the caucus backed cutting further Indochina military aid, with 13 of 15 southern first termers opposing. Freshmen overall united against Indochina aid, 68 to 3 nationally, while senior southerners split more. A February 25 vote favored tax-cut amendments affecting the oil depletion allowance, with strong southern opposition varying by seniority. The trend hints at a cohesive freshman bloc focused on domestic issues, potentially reshaping party unity since the New Deal era.
