Congressional  Races  v   BUSH-BRISCOE. In Houston's west  district, Republican George Bush is  emerging clearly as the moderate conservative compared to the right-wing conservatism of Frank Briscoe, the Democratic  nominee. The "Conservative Action Committee," a self-appointed group identified  with Houston's right wing, has endorsed  ex-prosecutor Briscoe as more conservative than Bush.  Bush is repudiating the Birch Society he says he does not want their support.  The Wall Street Journal quotes him that  he is ashamed he did not repudiate them  sooner. Briscoe says he would appreciate  the support of any group as long as he  was not expected to adhere to their beliefs. Briscoe implies Bush is a Lindsaytype Republican.  With only 15% Negroes in the district,  Bush is taking a middle position on race.  Briscoe "accuses" him of seeking Negro  support; Bush says he is proud to be  sponsoring a Negro baseball team. Responsible Negroes in Houston are shunning "black power," Bush says.  Briscoe stresses that most of the Texas  Democrats in Congress voted against the  civil rights laws. "I think the day is past,"  Bush says, "when we can afford to have a  lily white district. I will not attempt to  appeal to the white backlash. I am in step  with the '60's."  While criticizing waste and high salaries  in the war on poverty, Bush has accepted  a role in the Houston anti-poverty program. Briscoe says he's against domestic  and foreign giveaways.  Briscoe favors "no retreat in Vietnam  . . . we should rely on military force."  Bush, favoring an Asian peace conference,  supporting the war basically, also adds,  "I see no point in gaining victory by  stacking up bodies."  "I want conservatism to be sensitive  and dynamic, not scared and reactionary," Bush was quoted in the Wall Street  Journal.  V COLLINS-POOL. In Dallas Republican  Jim Collins and Cong-at-large Joe Pool  are fighting for a new seat. Pool scored  with many voters in the district during his  role in the recent House Un-American Activities Cmte. hearings. While Collins advanced peripheral criticisms, he was cautious. It appears now that this issue has  died back somewhat.  In an Observer interview Collins called  himself "a progressive Republican" who is  strongly in favor of a two-party system.  He wants the labor vote, he said, although  he favors the right-to-work law; he argues  that Pool has voted for higher grocery  prices \( in the form of protection for foreign coffee and sugar imports, for inthat these things hurt working people. On  Vietnam Collins says it's "the most con 8  The Texas Observer  fusing war in all history," with allies supplying the enemy and the U.S. not hitting  all military targets. He notes that he was  an entrepreneur in the construction of a  housing development for Negroes in Dallas. When he was president of Fidelity  Union Life Insurance Co., he recalled, his  company's cafeteria was the first place in  Dallas to open its facilities to Negroes and  the company was the first major downtown office to hire Negro office workers.  Collins favors new parks around Dallas.  He blasts Pool for voting for a $4 billion  farm bill and a $750,000 mansion for Hubert Humphrey. Pool says Collins is trying  to buy the Senate seat. Pool says he is  against giveaway programs; he favors the  watered-down truth-in-labeling bill. Collins blasts Pool for casting the only vote  against the national wilderness bill. Pool  says his bill against those who act against  the war in Vietnam in certain ways will  pass the House this session.  V MILLER-PRICE. While the designated  Democratic nominee, Dee Miller of  Odessa, has come out against federal en croachment, he still has a mild, moderate  image in the West Texas fight to succeed  Cong. Walter Rogers of Pampa. Republi can Bob Price, who got 46% against Rogers before, is favored to win. Price is still  a hard-line Goldwater-style Republican. A  rancher and farmer-businessman, he is  angry that allies are allowed to supply  the North Vietnamese through Haiphong  "to kill our men." Cambodia and Laos, he  says, are "actually communist," and Cuba  is subverting South America right now,  he told this newspaper. "If we wanted to  and weren't scared of world opinion, we  could blockade Cuba and choke them to  their knees without ever firing a shot,"  he said. "  If we  wanted  to stop 'em,  which for some strange. reason we don't  want to."  pof  NORWOOD-PURCELL. Dopesters are  beginning to believe that Republican  D. C. Norwood has a chance against  Democrat Graham Purcell. Both are from  Witchita Falls. Norwood is appealing to a  heavily Republican district, one-third of  the whole district, in north Dallas. Walter  Judd, Republican ex-congressman from  Minnesota, has come in for Norwood.  Dallas Cong. Earle Cabell and .Austin  Cong. J. J. Pickle seem to be shoo-ins over  their Republican opposition.  =MI I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM =MINN Ever had BEER-BECUE?
