lican opponent Brown challenged Reagan to repudiate the Birch Society as a dangerous political extremist group Reagan again refused And a 1966 state Republican platform adopted Saturday urged "repeal or amendment" of the nationally publicized Rumford Act barring housing discrimination That posed a touchy issue for the Democrats' state convention next weekend in Sacramento: What stand to take on the law I strongly backed by Negroes and a white minority but renounced i by a vast majority of white voters in a 1964 statewide ballot Center of the three-yearold controversy is the Rumford Act Passed in 1963 by the legislature it bans racial or religious discrimination in the sale or rental of most publicly assisted hous ing in majority Enough voters signed petitions in 1964 to put the matter on the 1 November ballot and by a 2 to 1 margin the law was nullified 1 But a 5 to 2 State Supreme Court ruling overturned the vote upheld the law and sent the issue to the US Supreme i Court Democrats recall that former White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger credited his opposition to the 1964 anti-Rum-11 ford initiative as a main for his US Senate race defeat' to Republican George Murphy who was noncommital Democrats also adopted a strong plank favoring the law in 1964 and opposing the anti-open housing proposal Republicansi took no stand that year Saturday the Republican State Convention overrode Negro protests and adopted a civil rights platform plank recognizI ing minority group housing problems but urging: "The repeal or amendment of the Rumford Act of 1963 and its' replacement or amendment by constructive legislation which protects the free choice and constitutional rights of all citir zens" Reagan who favors repeal of the law but disagreed with the 1964 statewide ballot had ap- proved the platform's wording along with the other statewide GOP candidates He stressed at a Saturday night speech that "1 repudiate bigotry and racism and all those who are guided by it" At the convention earlier Sen' Clark Bradley of San Jose insisted to opponents of men- tinoning repeal that "We have an obligation to recognize what a majority of the people think on this matter" Opponents contended the pending federal open housing law would render pointless any urging of repeal of the California law Berkeley Mayor Wallace Johnson a white running for the Senate

recognize the possibility of Red Chinese atomic blackmail In a copyrighted interview with Prof Kei Wakaizumi for the Japanese magazine Chuok oron released by the magazine today McNamara said Communist China "is developing nuclear weapons which are not required to defend herself" He said "it should be clear that the United States has no aggressive intention of any sort against Red China" He also said "There isn't any nation on her (Communist China's) border which poses such a military threat to her that she needs nuclear weapons to defend herself Since for a decade the weapons won't be of any great assistance to her for example in defending herself against the Soviet Union she can't be developing them for that purpose" he said McNamara said for these reasons "there is a presumption that she's developing them to support a program of aggression I don't want to say that's her intention but I do point out that she doesn't need the nuclear weapons for defense against her neighbors" LOS
