...Senate rejected it. Under pressure from House liberals, Brooklyn Democrat Emanuel Celler, floor manager for the bill, supported the ban, though it caused him some embarrassment. Back in 1961, Celler opposed eliminating the poll tax by statute, proposed doing so by constitutional amendment instead. Last week Louisiana Democrat Joe D.

Alabama's white authorities, who in some past instances have been less than notable in their pursuit of justice, went at this case with special vigor. Mayor Joe Smitherman of Selma told Public Safety Director Wilson Baker to spare nothing in the investigation. Baker and two aides flew to San Francisco to question contributors to DCVL, last week spent five days in New Jersey and Ohio on the same mission...
...Francisco still fresh and the thought of George Wallace's primary adventures to prick them (and before all those comforting Quayle polls were published).

Powered by such sluggers as Eddie Mathews, Joe Torre and Hank Aaron, the Braves were only 2½ games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers last week and tasting World Series. Milwaukee couldn't care less. Attendance has fallen as low as 913 people at one game, and in contrast to the mid-1950's when Milwaukee packed in 2,000,000 fans a year, the total this year after 22 dates is only...
