...epitome of the moderate labor leader is Texas Democrat Ed Watson, 48, son of a deputy sheriff and now vice president of Local 4367 of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union. This will be his first national convention, but Watson has been a political activist since 1952, when he lost a bitter factional fight in his local precinct. "The issue then-as now-was whether liberals or conservatives would control the Texas Democratic Party."

Among the 19 amendments adopted was one permitting gun collectors to qualify as "dealers" and thus become exempt from the interstate ban. Another amendment - a clear victory for the National Rifle Association - would exempt long-gun ammunition from...
...islands are important to our Government and important to tourism." They are also important to Six's ambition to have Continental certified as a carrier to the Far East.
