South Carolina Republican Strom Thurmond: "If we are going to follow a non-win policy, as we have in practically all of our conflicts with the Communists since World War II, then we might as well get out now, rather than be negotiated out later, resulting in eventual surrender and the loss of many young American lives. I still believe, as did General MacArthur, that there is no substitute for victory...

...South Carolina project, which will concentrate largely on voter registration, will be aimed at defeating Senator Strom Thurmond (R.S.C.) in 1966. Here CORE wants only 35 volunteers, who will work in three Congressional districts. Another 20 volunteers will join University of Florida students and local Negroes in a project in Northern Florida which began in January...
