...special report, entitled "The New South and the Grand Old Party," leaves little doubt about the Young Republicans' attitude toward the Party's racist component. Calling for Republicans to uphold the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the report demands expulsion of members of the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society from the G.O.P.

They understand the challenge of the New Left because they share the generations angers and outlook of the radicals. They want to talk to the New Left...
