For the Record

Latest 24-carat Liberal to get on peacenik “hate list” is Ambassador Arthur Goldberg. His sin: the statement that Red China should not now be admitted to UN. Leftist pickets in Berkeley attacked Goldberg as a “Doctor of Napalm,” and editor Robert. Scheer of Ramparts (a Vietnik congressional candidate) berated him for “betrayal” of the Left. . . . Bertrand Russell in Cairo last week rendered almost (but not quite) speechless at thought of LBJ. He is, he said “the worst President of the United States in history. … I don’t know why they elected him.” . . . In Paris, a group of American jazz musicians refused to go through with concert when informed it would not only be for civil rights but against the Vietnam war. . . . Dickson County (Tenn.) Medical Association has announced it will treat, free, any dependent of anyone fighting in Vietnam.

About the British elections: Harold Wilson’s 65 new Labor MPs are youngish (37 average) and gently to left of party’s center. . . . Julian Amery, former Conservative cabinet minister, who led opposition to oil sanctions on Rhodesia, lost his seat. . . . Polls in Britain missed the mark. Daily Telegraph was 9.8 per cent off; Gallup 4 per cent off; National Opinion Poll 2 per cent off (a deviation of 1.1 per cent is considered OK) . . . British bookies (who cleaned up) right now offering 2 to 1 odds on Labor five years hence. . . . British press reports insists Labor Government has contingency plans for armed invasion of Rhodesia. Two brigades would be flown to Rhodesia from army of the Rhine—in U.S. aircraft, say these reports. . . . Economist, which supported the Tories, ran a headline the day after: “Now Act Like a Government.”
