...Bert Thomas Combs, 48, wiry (5 ft. 10 in.), handsome ex-judge from the mountain-valley town of Prestonsburg (pop. 3,585, altitude 645 ft). Combs exploited a year of falling farm income by attacking his opponent, G.O.P. ex-Congressman (1952-58) John M. Robsion Jr., for pro-Benson votes while in the House-and never missed a chance to mispronounce Robsion's name "Ro-Ben-son." Combs's running mate for Lieutenant Governor, onetime Louisville Mayor Wilson Watkins Wyatt, 53, one of the founders of the left-wing Americans for Democratic Action, and Adlai Stevenson...

...Negro votes, made some almost angry enough to vote against the bill. A Republican who did vote "No" was upstate New York's Wadsworth, one of two ex-Senators who have come down to the House (the other: borderline Ken tucky's solemn, long-jawed Robsion, who voted "Yes"). Rich, wise old Jim Wadsworth called anti-lynching an unenforceable, unconstitutional piece of Federal usurpation of State powers: Under the proposed bill, not lynchers but peace officers who let lynchings happen would be declared felons, subject to fines (up to $5,000) and for imprisonment (up to five years...
