NEW MAN IN ALABAMA GOVERNOR RACE: Attorney
Gen. Richmond Flowers plunged into the governoil race
yesterday with an undisguised plea for Negro votes and a
promise to fly the U.S. flag in the dome of the i State
Capitol. The appearance of the Dothan, Ala. attorriey in
a field already crowded with nine other candidates i gave
him a chance once more to challenge Gov. George C.i Wal
lace's strong segregationist views in the May 3 priblary.
Flowers' announcement came 24 hours after Wa l lace'sl
wife's intention to run as a "stand-in" candidate fqr her
husband. Wallace is prohibited by law to run for I.J-elec
tion. Mrs. Wallace made it clear that the present (chief
executive would continue to govern the state if she is
elected. Flowers has frequently taken issue with Widlace
in the handling of Negro problems. The attorney gclneral
said he professes moderate Negro views towards Neproes.
"I want the vote of all the people. I want the Negro vote
and the white vote," Flowers said. An estimated 2( 0.000
or more Negroes have registered to vote as a result of
the presence of federal examiners sent into Alabama il,nder
the new Voting Rights Act. This increased vote .I•ould
exert the balance of power in this year's statewide ;elec
tion. If he gets the Democratic nomination, the attqrney
general said he is certain he can defeat Republican 'Rep.
James D. Marlin, the GOP's top vote-getter in Alallyama
and an avowed candidate for that party's gubernatprial
nomination.
MCNAMARA REPORTS NEW SUCCESSES IN VIETN AM:
While Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., renewed his attack on
President Johnson's Asian policy in the Senate yestuday,
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara reported `U.S.
fighting men are scoring new successes on Vietnam battle
fields. McNamara appeared before members of the Senate
Armed Services and Appropriations Committees to talk tpbout
the defense budget. Later. he told reporters U.S. troops have
staged "very, very successful military operations in thet last
four weeks." These successful operations by U.S. and south
Vietnamese forces have frustrated Communist plans for llirge
scale assaults. McNamara said. Meanwhile, Morse charged
that a 54.8 billion bill to help pay for war materials i an
"open-handed invitation to the continued expansion i and
escalation of the Vietnam war." The bill is expected to reach
a Senate vote early next week. There is little doubt !that
it will pass by a wide margin. "A vote for this bill is riot a
vote to support the men already there," Morse said. It is
a vote to double the men already there, to expand the iwar
into Thailand and to provide American financing for a
military force in Asia." Morse said he will seek action Mon
day on his move to repeal the August 1964 resolutiop in
which Congress approved the use of American force in
Vietnam. I

NEW GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO BE ELECTED THIS
FALL: A federal judge said yesterday that a new Gen Oral
Assembly will be elected this fall under districts reappor

presently under attack as unconstitutional. Judge Albert
B. Maris of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Said
there isn't enough time for a federal court to act with any
finality on the matter. "Anything done by us. a special
three-judge court, is subject to appeal." said Maris, "and
I'm sure there is such pressure."

Four elected officers; a president, vicc
president, secretary and treasurer, are pro
