Locke Quits Vietnam Post for Politics
AUSTIN (AP) — Eugene M. Locke, deputy
ambassador to South Vietnam, announced Sat-
urday as a Democratic candidate lor nomina-
tion as Texas governor. The White House for-
mally announced Saturday that Locke had re-
signed his Vietnam post.
Locke Is a close friend of Gov. John Con-
nally who is also a Democrat and former sec-
retary of the navy under the late President
Kennedy.
Connally earlier said he would not seek a
fourth term as governor.
Locke, 49. is a wealthy Dallas lawyer who
has devoted much time In recent yearn to state
and national Democratic politics.
Locke recalled that a little over 18 months
ago he left Texas to go to Pakistan as ambas-
sador at the request of the president.
"This was a sensitive assignment." he
nld. “Pakistan had Just been at war with In-
dia. Pakistan relations with China had become
increasingly close... I am proud that during
my 10 months in Pakistan there was no re-
sumption of the Indlo-Pakistan War, no alli-
ance between Pakistan and China, and the re-
lations between the U. S. and Pakistan Im-
proved."
Locke then was sent to Vietnam as deputy
ambassador, working with Ambassador Ells-
worth Bunker.
“I have been In Vietnam nearly nine
months. During that time we have made prog-
ress on every front — military, pacification,
political, economic ... I am proud of the ac-
complishments of our team. These accomplish-
ments are a substantial part of the objectives
originally assigned to us last year. With this
Improved situation, I felt that I could appropri-
ately leave Vietnam, and the president has
agreed," Locke said.
Locke said he had discussed the Texas
governor’s race several times with President
Johnson but he would not say what the presi-
dent's comments were. He also said he
planned to ask Connally for his direct support.
Locke stressed in his formal statement the
"need for continuation of the effective,
progressive, creative government based on
sound principles, which we have had under
Gov. Connally. We In Texas cannot afford a
caretaker government.”
I/K'ke reportedly came out on top of a poll
of 40 of Connally's closest political allies who
were asked their preferences among potential
candidates at a secret meeting January’ 17 at
Connally's South Texas ranch.

Inflation
Hedge Eyed
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Administration officials say
privately the government
will hold back $600 million in
highway funds as a means of
fighting inflation.
A warning such a move
might be taken was sounded
last October by Secretary of
Transportation Alan S. Boyd.
In telegrams to the nation’s
governors he raised the pos-
sibility of a holdback of ei-
ther $600 million. $1 billion or
$2.2 billion — out of a total of
$4.4 billion In federal money
earmarked for highways.

ST. PAUL Minn. — A for-

E. Birchall, 23, was killed In
suburban St. Paul about 1:15
a.m. Saturday in a one-car
wreck. He wns alone in the
car.
The Minnesota highway
patrol said Birchall's car
veered across the median of
a state highway and struck a
guard rail. A guard post
broke loose, sailed through
the car, hitting Birchall.
Birchall returned from

He said coupled with that,
state aid has increased 400
percent and per capita state
aid based on the average
daily attendance also has in-
creased almost 400 percent.
"All this has been done
without a ‘general’ tax in-
crease," Bartlett told news-
men.
Bartlett hammered at his
belief that attracting indus-
try is a major key to state
| growth.
! Bartlett said he believes
iOklahoma is providing a
good education for school
children but that the state
has carried the burden of the
high tax status in past years.
"But there is one thing we
haven’t done to augment the
education system," Bartlett
said. “We haven't worked to
sell Oklahoma, to broaden
the tax base and give those
students in the educational
system a bright future In
Oklahoma when they gradu-
ate."
Bartlett’s proposed $1,000
pay hike to teachers has
been met by skepticism from
many quarters.
Saturday, he said he be-
lieves that increase, over the
next three years actually,
will average out to more
than $1,300 to teachers. He
based the estimate on a de-
partment of education study,
which includes his proposal
plus increases by "incre-
ments in experience and oth-
er factors."

It also destroys blood cells
when they reach the end of
their life span.
The spleen was removed to
head off a decrease in the
platelets, a blood clotting
factor, and prevent further

legislators are left-wingers
who oppose some of Wilson's
spending cuts. The others
are mainly right-wingers, at
least two of whom abstained
as a protest that party disci-
pline is too soft on left-
wingers who have been per-
sistently rebellious.
The qualified informants1
who gave word of the expul-
sion decision said one of its
purposes was to head off a
right-wing assault on Silkin
next week.
Left and right-wing fac-
tions behind the scenes have
been at each others’ throats
over the issue of party loyal-
ty. Silkin has favored a soft
approach to discipline on
grounds that Wilson derives
valuable strength from the
party's left.

Vietnamese authorities re

week, compared with 420 for
the same week last year.
"This, with the $77 dollar
average Increase received
this year, indicates teachers
are going to receive $500
more in increases under
Bartlett than they have re-
ceived under any other gov-
ernor in history," Bartlett
said.
"Teachers should be living
examples to their students of
how to use logic and unemo-
tional reasons and It be-
hooves them and It behooves
me at this time to use pru
dence," he said.
