George C. Wallace's strong showing in the Maryland primary as a grass roots protest against the civil rights bill, but they were uncertain how it would affect Senate action on the measure. Supporters of the bill brushed aside Wallace’s feat. Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., floor manager for the bill, said, “for a few days there will be a lot of talk about it, but senators are going to vote on the basis of thenpresent judgments about the bill. Their minds are pretty well made up.” Before the Maryland balloting Tuesday, Humphrey had predicted Wallace would get more than 35 per cent of the vote. Wallace got about 42 per cent of the vote in opposing President Johnson’s stand-in, Sen. Daniel B. Brewster, D-Md. Predicts No Effect Brewster said in Baltimore that Wallace’s showing would have no effect on the Senate’s civil rights battle. He predicted enactment of the bill by June 15. Sen. Richard B. Russell, DGa., leader of the southern foes of the bill, said he hoped Walace’s showing would strengthen his hand, but he added: “The Senate is usually the last place in the government to get the drift of American public opinion.” Russell interpreted the primary results of evidence of increasing popular sentiment against the bill. “It is finally seeping through to the people of this country just what the politicians are threatening to do to their form of government in their bid for minority-bloc votes,” he said. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., DN.C., said he thought the Wallace showing would “Have a tendency to prevent a stampede” for a Senate vote to halt the southern .anti-civil rights talkathon “but to what , extent I don’t know.” ( “ 11 Shows Opposition Ervin said Wallace’s showing “clearly shows the tremendous opposition to the civil rights bill in the country and to further centralization of government in . Washington.” Sen. John J. Sparkman, D-

Richard Raudenbush, the congressman from the sixth, district, and Sen. R. Vance Hartke, they were able to tour the Columbia Record plant that employs 1,800 workers, and visit various other interesting sites in the area. . s*. ........ • Ala., also saw the Wallace vote as a protest against the civil rights bill. He said the Alabama governor’s showing “is bound to have some long-range effect.” The House-passed bill, now in its 59th day of debate in the Senate outlaws racial discrimination in voting, education, employment, public accommodations and in the use of federal funds. 1 The Wallace showing was almost certain to be among the topics today at a conference of Republican senators to discuss the fair employment provisions of the “package” of bipartisan amendments to the rights bill.
