There is no sign that Fulbright's stand on Viet Nam has hurt him with the home folks. But there is fairly general agreement that should the war emergency deepen, he might be in trouble. Governor Orval Faubus, who is mellowing a bit on the race issue and is being mentioned as a possible challenger for Fulbright's seat in 1968, recently sounded off against the Senator's critical attitude on the Viet Nam issue. Charged Faubus: "There's no question but that it encourages the enemy. They will distort it to show weakness...
Wirges' conviction was only the latest incident in a long history of troubles that eventually cost him his paper. While he was in command, the Democrat attacked the well-entrenched local political machine of Sheriff Marlin Hawkins, a close ally of Governor Orval Faubus. After accusing the machine of election fraud, Wirges was threatened, beaten up and shot at. Harassed by every possible legal weapon his enemies could dream up, Wirges lost two libel suits for a total of $275,000. A $75,000 judgment was later overturned by the Arkansas Supreme Court; the $200,000 verdict has been...
With his wife on one arm and $1,500 in a plastic bag under the other, he plunked down the electoral filing fee in Little Rock nearly four months before the legal deadline.

Faubus has not said whether he will try for a seventh term, but his friends have a feeling that he is the only Democrat in the state who can keep Republican Rockefeller down on the farm...
...ARKANSAS. Republicans are bullish about their prospects for unseating incumbent Democratic Governor Orval Faubus next year. Their hope: Millionaire Winthrop Rockefeller, who came within 82,928 votes of beating Faubus in 1964-and has not stopped running since. Thanks to Rockefeller largesse, the G.O.P. in Arkansas throbs with enthusiasm. It has a formal organization in every one of the state's 75 counties, boasts 40 women's clubs with a total membership of 1,076, and even publishes a sporadic tabloid, the Arkansas Outlook. Bragged one G.O.P. organizer: "We don't talk Republicanism-we preach...
...signs of change in the new South often seem heartbreakingly and absurdly slight. Progressive Southerners will proudly point to facts that would be scarcely noticed elsewhere: a group of Negro schoolchildren being applauded during a visit to the South Carolina state capitol; the wife of Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus having Negro women to an integrated tea; white bellhops carrying luggage for Negro guests. But taken together, and given the South's unique history, such signs tell of an entirely new climate...
