...supporters accuse him of selling out, have coined a new reading for L.B.J.: "Let's Beat Judas." Southern conservatism is on the rise and, as Southern Senators made clear in Congress last week, the conservatives are not enthusiastic over their nominee. Complained one to touring Herald Tribune Newsman Earl Mazo: "Every time you pick up the paper there's a picture of Kennedy with Reuther or Soapy Williams or another fellow like that."
