BERKELEY, Calif. "The
1965 elections have shown the
political effectiveness of the
growing liberal movement in
this country and of the in
creasingly sophisticated and in
formed minority vote," today
declared Congressman John
Conyers, Jr. (Dem-Michigan) in
a speech prepared for delivery
at the University of California
at Berkeley. "A vital necessity
for the increase of the political
power of the liberal movement
in America is the expansion of
political activity by the young
people who have worked so
strenuously for equality of op
portunity and equal dignity for
all Americans. It is time for
demonstrations to be backed
up by grass-roots political ac
tion."
"The election of liberal Re
publicans in New York City
and Louisville, Kentucky shows
that both the liberal and the
Negro American voter will sup
port the candidates with strong
civil rights and liberal records
regardless of party affiliations,"
Conyers told the group as
sembled at Boalt Law School at
12 noon. Expressing an analys
is similar to that recently giv
en by Senator Robert F. Ken
nedy (Dem-New York), Conyers
said that "one of the reasons
the Democrats lost the New
York mayoralty race was that
they took the Negro and Puer
to Rican votes for granted."
Conyers cited the close ma
yoralty race in Cleveland, Ohio
in which Carl Stokes, a Negro
state legislator and leader of
the local chapter of Americans
for Democratic Action, is now
within 1900 votes of winning
and the recount may yet show
that he was elected.

on, however, during the night,
Cochran was found seated In
the car apparently in a state
of stupor. Along with him were
several pieces of his belong

was informed that efforts are
being made to satisfactorily ad

present under treatment by,
Dr. R. P. Randolph local phy

A check with Dr. Randolph
confirmed the reports that Dr.
Cochran had been located but
the physician would give no
statement as to the status of
his condition.
