Genteel. The Texas Democratic Party long ago split into two bitterly feuding camps. Yarborough, 66, relies on a New Dealish grass-roots coalition of labor, liberals, East Texas blue-collar workers, blacks and Mexican Americans. This formula has kept him in the Senate for 13 years. Son of an East Texas farmer, the rural-oriented Yarborough is folksy and stubborn. Probably the South's most liberal Senator, he is a pariah among the state's conservative oil, banking and commercial interests. Recently he infuriated some of his backers by voting against the Supreme Court nomination of a Southerner...
...hard to predict the outcome of this morning's meeting. Within the main body of striking employees, there is by no means a consensus about what steps should be taken, or what demands should be made.

In Delaware, a prosperous white-collar state, a decline in Du Pont profits that began last year is expected to force reductions in state spending-most likely for educational television and enforcement of antidiscrimination laws. The Pennsylvania government had to extend an extra $15 million in aid to Philadelphia to avert a shutdown of the city's schools...
...There are 13,000 GM dealers in this country. Seven, only seven, are black. It was not until 1967 that the first black graduated from the 3,000-man class of the General Motors Institute, which trains many of the future executives of the company. And even in blue-collar employment. GM has consistently lagged behind Ford and Chrysler...
