For the Record

■ As of June 1, New York bookies—a savvy crowd—were refusing to give odds on the Republican primary contest between Mayor John Lindsay (liberal) and N.Y. State Senator John Marchi (conservative). . . . Most commentators see bad news for Lindsay in the surprise victory in Los Angeles of Sam Yorty over Thomas Bradley. . . . Not much publicized: three firebombs were thrown at the home of Ethel Bryant, Yorty’s executive secretary, a week before the L.A. election. … A sure winner in the multi-candidate New York mayoralty primaries: Norman Mailer. He’s gotten a $20,000 advance from Doubleday for a book to come out in August entitled Running Against the Machine, which may mean a slight delay in his book on the moon landing (for which he has gotten a $1-million advance, according to his agent).

■ Liberals at work: A group of hard leftists (Jack Newfield, Jules Feiffer, Allen Ginsburg, David Dellinger among them) indicating their “shock and horror” at the League for Industrial Democracy for presenting its annual award to Hubert Horatio Humphrey who, say the protestors, “defended Boss Daley and the police riots in Chicago” (down the drain the rest of Humphrey’s liberal record). . . . Joseph Rauh, for the National ADA, protesting the Otto Otepka appointment to the Subversive Activities Control Board and urging the Senate not to confirm him although the Senate Judiciary Committee praised Otepka as “a fine example of the best type of career civil servant.” . . . The Detroit ADA has given its special award of the year ro George Crockett, the Negro judge who dismissed the case against 142 persons picked up in a Detroit shoot-out in which one policeman was killed and another one wounded. Crockett, incidentally, is emerging as a New Left hero. . . . Two- thirds of the graduating class at Brown turned its back last week when Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger received an honorary degree to protest “the policies that he represents.” . . . George McGovern, who is doing his demagogic best to make sure Teddy doesn’t walk away with the nomination, will introduce a bill to raise taxes on corporations’ profits to 85 per cent (depending on the size of the corporation) which he is hustling as an “excess war profits tax.”
