...Mike" Hoare's Fifth Commando-a unit that left the Congo last April after stamping out a Communist-instigated rebellion of Simba warriors. Other mercenaries include Sahara-scorched French veterans of the O.A.S. uprising in Algeria, tough British colonial troops from the old Indian army, and unashamedly racist Rhodesians who joke about "sending a Kaffir a day to heaven." In the Congo, they earned the nickname Les Affreux (the Terrible Ones). Scores of them can be found in the bars of Johannesburg and Salisbury, in Brussels, Paris and Marseille...
Although this greatly increased Negro voting strength has quieted the racist appeals common in past campaigns, it is ridiculous to expect that Negro votes will swing this election to a liberal or moderate.

Williams, who has amply proved his conservative credentials by giving up his Party power for Goldwater, does...

In the runoff, however, it is almost unquestionable that the more militant segregationist--Williams, or possibly Barnett--will win. Both Barnett and Williams have tried to stick the "liberal" deathmark on Winter...
