FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1994 A35 LQS ANGELES TIMES Dornan Has Rights Answer Politics: Challenged by foe on claim he joined Rev. King on historic 1963 march, congressman finds proof in black and white. one of the proudest in his life. "If it's true, it's a sad day," Farber said after being told of the photograph's existence. "These people that were associated with King had some element of doubt about Dornan's participation.

They were asking for proof because of his record on civil rights matters, which is pretty dismal." Dornan said he has nothing to prove. "I don't have to prove this to Jesse Jackson or to this unknown person," he said, referring to Farber. "(Farber has no life, no resume, no biography, no background, no history on civil rights, human rights, crime fighting. He has never done anything in his life except help and advance himself." Dornan said he had anticipated that his attendance at the 1963 march on Washington would be questioned. So he had his staff search for photographs at the Library of Congress.

Robert K. Dornan to repeat the claim that he had participated in the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

Dornan, the eight-term Republican congressman from Garden Grove whom Farber is trying to unseat in the Nov. 8 election, had said on a national radio program and elsewhere that he had helped register black voters in Mississippi and had participated in a historic civil rights march with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Farber did not believe it and hoped to prove him wrong. And then last week Dornan said it again.

In responding to Farber's charge that he had not paid attention to the needs of Latinos in his largely ethnic 46th Congressional District, Dornan said he supported the ef IS.
