Growing Liberal And Negro Vote PraisedIncreased Political Action isCalled for By Congressman
\u25a0H Ss Si '
BERKELEY, Calif. "The1965 elections have shown thepolitical effectiveness of thegrowing liberal movement in
this country and of the in-creasingly sophisticated and in-
formed minority vote," todaydeclared Congressman JohnConyers, Jr. (Dem-Michigan) ina speech prepared for deliveryat the University of Californiaat Berkeley. "A vital necessity
for the increase of the politicalpower of the liberal movement
in America is the expansion ofpolitical activity by the youngpeople who have worked sostrenuously for equality of op-portunity and equal dignity forall Americans. It is time fordemonstrations to be backedup by grass-roots political ac-
tion."
"The election of liberal Re-publicans in New York Cityand Louisville, Kentucky showsthat both the liberal and theNegro American voter will sup-port the candidates with strong
civil rights and liberal recordsregardless of party affiliations,"Conyers told the group as-sembled at Boalt Law School at12 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 reasonsthe Democrats lost the NewYork mayoralty race was thatthey took the Negro and Puer-to Rican votes for granted."

$2 raised from private donorswithin the state in which thecollege is situated. Monies
raised from other private
