...Alabama Democrat George Wallace is still smarting from the defeat of his independent slate of presidential electors and the mass defections of Alabama Democrats to Goldwater. To rebuild prestige, Wallace is calling for a massive, liberal spending program that would include free textbooks for all public schools, increased teachers' salaries, and a $100 million bond issue for school construction. All that will please most Alabamians, but it will leave Wallace's successor in 1967 with an estimated state deficit of $500 million, compared with $258 million when Wallace himself took office...
California Democrat Pat Brown got a chilly reception as he addressed a joint session of the California legislature. Only when he called for higher salaries for legislators and annual, rather than biennial, legislative sessions, was there even modest applause. The reasons were obvious. Brown is pressing the legislature for new taxes to pay for increased state school aid, hardly likely to be popular with constituents back home. Moreover, a drastic, court-ordered reapportionment of the state senate threatens to cost many an incumbent senator...
...Utah Democrat Calvin L Rampton is about as popular a new Governor as a state ever had, trusted and respected by business, admired by labor. But Rampton is determined to push through a massive bonding program for new state construction, boost both state income and corporate-franchise tax rates, and repeal the state right-to-work law over the opposition of the powerful Mormon Church. Should he succeed in his program to "get Utah moving," Cal Rampton certainly stands to lose some friends...
...Texas Democrat John Connolly had his own second-term inauguration moved from Jan. 19 to Jan. 26 so that he would not miss the inauguration of his friend Lyndon Johnson. But when Connally returns from Washington, he faces demanding tasks in pushing through his $68 million college-aid recommendation and in smoothing the way for a hard-to-swallow reapportionment plan that would force dozens of angry rural representatives and senators to give up their seats to the cities...
...Germans might really be the last to want fresh negotiations with the Russians, since this would inevitably involve discussion of West Germany's role in NATO and the future boundaries of a united Germany. Cruelly accurate, Rusk's words touched off a storm. In Bonn, the Free Democrats' Bundestag Vice President Thomas Dehler warned that Germany was being "sacrificed" to Atlantic policy. Christian Democrat Parliamentary Leader Rainer Barzel cried that Germany might "go it alone" if pushed too far by its allies. Erhard himself was reported upset and worried, and amid celebrations last week for former Chancellor...
