Cried Texas' Democratic Attorney General Will Wilson: "John Connally's candidacy is a move by Lyndon Johnson to oust Price Daniel, oust me, oust Senator Ralph Yarborough, and gain complete control of the state government." Wilson's charge was pretty sweeping-but he just may have been right. For the announcement last week by U.S. Navy Secretary John Connally, 44, that he was resigning from his Pentagon post to run next year for Governor of Texas certainly seemed to carry Vice President Lyndon Johnson's political fingerprints...

A resolution seeking to oust U.S. Polaris bases from Britain was rejected by a 1,554,000 majority...
...arms over the $25 million in losses that 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. has shown on its movie productions in the past two years and the $10 million more expected this year, Wall Street investors last week tried to oust Fox's President Spyros P. Skouras, 68. But the wily movie magnate outfoxed his foes with a "compromise'' settlement that put in, as executive committee chairman, Skouras' "very, very close associate" William Michel. Fingering a chain of yellow amber beads (which he uses to allay his craving for cigars), Skouras attributed his company's losses...
