Nixon matched his new Hamp Shire p r i m a r y Perfo Manee capturing 80 per cent of the gop really did t change things much in the former Vic president s March toward the gop presidential nomination. Mccarthy said he had demonstrated the ability to win the White House for the Democrat next november. So there were winners but no real losers in the second presidential primary of a chaotic election year. Mccarthy seemed to have enhanced his credentials for the real struggle ahead with Ken Nedy and possibly with vice president ii. Humphrey for the democratic nomination presi Dent Johnson has declared Hewill not accept. With 98 per cent of the 3,291 precincts counted in the demo cratic primary Mccarthy had 402,340 votes or 57 per cent of the party total Johnson had 247,290 votes for 35 per legion of students who canvassed the state for Mccarthy had claimed 60 per cent of the voters they had inter viewed favored Mccarthy.

As it was All indications were that the crossover vote was Light. About 38 per cent of the bal lots cast were Republican. Eight years ago when Nixon ran her unopposed while Humphrey and the late president John f. Ken Nedy contested the democratic primary less than 20 per cent of the total vote was cast in the Republican primary.

Consin and Mccarthy spurned his offer of a personal Campaign assist. Kennedy congratulated Mccarthy on his showing but foot noted that by saying that his rival might have benefited a great Deal from Johnson s last minute decision to step aside.

After the division smoked out Viet Cong from an area 15 mile West of Hue the medics began giving shots. A photo must the United states Hhas three million men under arms Call up reserves because of a War involving a half million men the answer to this question which puzzles Many americans is simply that the War has stretched the military machine nearly to its u Mit. Strength figures Are deceptive. Laymen often do not realize what a huge portion of military Force is involved in support training and rotation rather than fighting. For example there Are 800,000active-duty army troops in the United states but the cutting Edge of these forces the fight ing units available to meet new contingencies numbers considerably less than 100,000.the army Calls its principal contingency Force in the unite states its strategic this is a confusing term since the Reserve is made up of a elude twice this size before the build up in Vietnam began in 1965. In the judgment of military men this Force is dangerously Low for meeting contingencies which could Range from new crises overseas to riot control in american cities. What do the other 700.000army troops in the United states do More than 250,000 of them Are in some form of train ing. More than 100,000 Are the people who Are giving this train ing. The rest fall into dozens of much smaller categories. The army has 331,000 men i Vietnam 50.000 in Korea. 200,000 in Europe 12,000 in Alaska and 7,400 in important Factor in that the United states has been ing would grass fire and called the possible entry of Humphrey an irrelevancy. Mccarthy was saying he Isnow the Likely democratic Choice to run against Nixon next november. Kennedy will have something to say about that in the head to head primary tests which begin in Indiana on May 7. Nixon s sweep simply added to the momentum already pro Pelling his candidacy. It won him 30 delegates and a pledge o support from Wisconsin p. Knowles who had been Neutral.

If state Legislatures must debased on districts that Are substantially equal in population As the court said in june 1964 they must be should t City town and county governing Bod ies that Are creatures of these legislature s be bound by the same Rule it took almost four Yea Sand a few false starts but Mon Day five justices decided the logic was inexorable. The actions of local govern ment Are the actions of the state Justice Byron h. White reasoned. Logically he found Little difference Between the exer Cise of state Power through Legislatures and its by election officials in the cities towns and counties. The logical simplicity was what appeared to irk most the three dissenters. Thurgood mar shall the ninth Justice did not Stewart scorned the use of sixth Grade arithmetic to resolve Subtle problems of constitutional Fortas said his colleagues had passed Over a Complex of values and factors with the arithmetic simplicity of one equals and John m. Harlan de scribed himself As frankly astonished at the ease wit which the court brought one Man one vote to grassroots government. But these were the complaints of dissenters. The die it cast. The remaining question is How at the beginning of 1967 there were 81,253 units of local government in the United includes 3.049 county governments 18,051 municipal governments 17,107 township governments 21,782 school District Sand 21,264 other special districts. The number and variations Are staggering. Some 20,000 to 23,000 elect officials by is these that Are most directly affected by monday s already Are in line with one Man one vote. Additionally the state supreme courts of California Maryland Minnesota Missouri new York South Dakota and Wisconsin have applied the principle to local government. Those that Are not in Lin and that exercise what White called general governmental Powers will have to get in Lino. Some will do so voluntarily others will be directed to do so by their state Legislatures and third group probably a minor in relation to its support an rotation base. It has 83,000 men in Vietnam of a total of 300.000.it has two divisions there and two thirds of another of its total of four divisions. The defense department said the United states could meet a chinese attack on South East Asia and help defend Europe at the same time. There fore it says the country is in Strong military position. But this estimate is based on America s full mobilization potential including 700,000 re serves of various kinds. It also would involve Steps such a halting discharges and extend ing overseas Tours.
