...mayors of eight of the largest U.S. cities took their place behind a makeshift wooden table to describe their problems to the Senate Subcommittee on Executive Reorganization, holding its second week of hearings on the plight of U.S. cities. The subcommittee heaped lavish praise on Detroit's Jerome Cavanagh. It had kind words for Oakland's John H. Reading, praised New Haven's Richard C. Lee and Atlanta's Ivan Allen Jr. Chairman Ab raham Ribicoff of Connecticut and New York's Robert Kennedy, both Democrats, went so far as to pose with New York...
Personality & Loyalty. Brash, liberal and articulate, Cavanagh took a more cerebral approach, but he failed to read correctly just what he faced, beginning with the opposition of the state Democratic hierarchy. Though both candidates were prolabor and pro-civil rights, Soapy had been helping Negroes and laborers when Cavanagh was in short pants-and they knew it. Cavanagh's 1% city income tax in Detroit proved unpopular, and many Negroes were alienated when he toyed earlier this year with the idea of a "stop-and-frisk law" that would allow police to search suspicious persons. Then, too, there...
MEET THE PRESS (NBC, 12:30-1:30 p.m.). A special on the Annual Conference of Mayors, broadcast live from Dallas and featuring interviews with New York's John V. Lindsay, Los Angeles' Samuel W. Yorty, Detroit's Jerome P. Cavanagh, Boston's John F. Collins, Atlanta's Ivan Allen Jr. and New Haven's Richard...
...Presidential bid, then, depends heavily on what happens to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the death this week of Senator Pat McNamara. Romney will probably appoint the already hand-picked Republican candidate, Congressman Robert Griffin. The fiercely contested Democratic primary between ex-Governor G. Mennen Williams and Mayor Cavanagh will probably help Griffin, and both Democratic candidates will have serious electoral weaknesses. Romney will certainly be out campaigning hard this fall to keep Griffin in the Senate--and to put a public relations man in the White House...
...choice is in some cases apt to be dictated by old loyalties rather than performance or promise. A case in point is Michigan, where COPE almost certainly will throw its weight behind former Governor G. Mennen Williams in his contest with Detroit's dynamic (and liberal) Mayor Jerry Cavanagh for the Senate nomination. It may also try to influence primaries in Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, and any other Southern state in which nonracist candidates may surface. In all, COPE will probably spend about $1,000,000 in 1966 on its three-pronged effort to register voters, promote...
