...backlash issue, its impact is baffiingly uneven and unpredictable. In Illinois, Democratic Senator Paul Douglas is losing votes to G.O.P. Challenger Charles Percy not only among Chicago whites but also among hitherto loyal Negroes, who resent Democratic Mayor Richard Daley's resistance to their demands. In Ohio, Republican Congressman William M. McCulloch, a key man in getting the 1964 Civil Rights Act through the House, is now under sharp attack by a Democratic opponent who accuses him of "appeasing the violence of the rioters."

The stories of poverty program ineffectiveness, of inconsistent funding practices, and of unfulfilled promises are as true for New York as for any other large city. In addition, Lindsay's prestige received a major blow this summer when the city had to return over $10 million in unspent poverty funds to the federal government at the end of the fiscal year. The Mayor further embarrassed himself by denying the loss for several days...
