Post-Election Development New Group Formed
WaihlngtoK D.C. ? Most In
terestlng?aniK. possibly highly
significant ? poy -election de
velopment Is the1- enwrgence of
a new group calHng itself the
? American Conservative Union
and obviously designed as a
rallying point for forces shat
tered In the Nov. 3 balloting.
Final organizational arrange
ments were completed at a se
cret meeting here in late De
cember, but the stage was set
for Its creation back in Octob
er and the first formal planning
Session Is said to have taken
plus shortly after the election.
I\ Having since come, so~to^
speak, ffom the political un
derground, 1U first public pro
nouncement was an ltostant dis
avowal ofan# link or philosophi
cal" rapport with the controver
sial John Birth Society of its
acknowledged leaders.
Outgoing Republican Rep
resentative Donald K. Bruce,
of Indiana the ACU chairman,
made this abundantly clear in
disclosing the new unit's exis
tence and the detailing Its ob
f ? .'-rl
Jecttves.
He s?ld the ACU* s 17-member
board of directors Includes no
Blrchersand that the new or
ganization takes a view of world
affairs "at substantial vari
ance"' with those of Robert :
Welch, the society founder, "j
i Thus, he Indicated, the wt
put only' to - those with Con
servative leanings either 'with
no Birch ties or who had be
come disenchanted and / were
severing any link with the
Welch-led organization.
As described by Bruce, who
will become a full-tlm? execu
tive with ACU when, It opens
offices here in late .January,
the new unH.wlll be composed 1
primarily of the directors and
an Xdvlsory Assembly ot some
100 members admitted on an
J* Invitation only" basis.
Others will be allowed as
sociate membership entitling
them to receive publications and
materials put out by ACU.
One of the full-fledged mem
bers reportedly Is Admiral Ben
come mat In ACU JJpuld
Morreel (USN-Ret), head of the"
conservative-oriented Ameri
cans for Constitutibhal Action.
Robert E. .Baumanp, chairman
of the'; Young Americas {or

directors, providing a further
