Though Viet Nam does not loom large as an election issue in November, the Republicans would dearly like to make it one. Toward that end, the House Republican Conference last week issued a 37-page indictment of Lyndon Johnson's conduct of the war.

DiGiorgio still claimed that most of the workers really wanted no union at all, but encouraged those who did to vote for the Teamsters. When it became clear that very few would vote for no union representation, DiGiorgio stood by the Teamsters, the last bulwark against the NFWA...
