The ACA will get you if you don’t watch out. Appalled, positively appalled, certified Liberals Kennedy (R. and T.) Kuchel, Javits and Case—to find their ACA rating soaring. The change (first six months of 1966 as against 1965 record) shows: RK, up from zero to 33 per cent; TK, zero to 21; Kuchel, 27 to 73 (shame !) Case, 11 to 46; Javits, 11 to 33. Only four legislators emerged unsullied, with zero conservative record intact: Sen. Maurine Neuberger (retiring), Ore.; Dem. Reps. Wm. Dawson, Frank Annunzia, Ill., Mrs. Lerna Thomas, Tex. . . . Also mightily embarrassed , Gov. Fat (ronaldreaganisan- extremistfascistracistultraright ist- bircher) Brown at discovery that J. Edward Martin & Family & Co. , have donated $12,000 to Democratic National Committee. Martin is a prominent California Republican and a John Birch Society chapter leader. . . . Despite recent gentle slump in polls. Reagan backers still confident he will beat Brown in November, hope he’ll roll up large enough majority to help other conservatives, among them Assembly candidate Bill Best, to office. Best played important part in victorious Goldwater Calif. primary in 1964.
Should and does know better: Texas Democratic senatorial candidate Waggoner Carr. Carr, a conservative, waging nip and tuck battle against Sen. John Tower, has been trying to bat down Tower’s consistently high ACA rating by charging that ACA is so extreme it “considers the John Birch Society too far to the left.” . . . Texas Democrats worried that a number of Mexican-American political clubs——once solidly Democratic—are campaigning for Tower this time round.
