United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock charged that Senators, Congressmen and even those "in more exalted political office" (meaning Nixon) were using the busing issue to "polarize races in the hope of selfish political gain." New York's Mayor John Lindsay further endangered his remote presidential chances by telling Florida legislators: "I am for busing because it is often the only way to integrate our schools -and because the alternative, perpetual racial segregation, is far worse."
