Romney Issues Stinging Repudiation of John Birch Society

George Romney, Republican
candidate for Michigan gov
ernor, Saturday issued a sting
ing repudiation ot the John
Birch Society and called for
the ouster of a powerful GOP
leader active in the controver
sial organization.
"George Romney is not pre
pared to become identified in
any way with Welchism,"
Romney told a gathering of
14th District Republican lead
ers in a stormy session that
pitted his popularity against
that of Wayne County (De
troit) GOP power Richard
Durant.
About 200 district leaders
were present as Durant and
Romney locked horns.
"If the delegates reelect this
man (Durant) or delegate to
him the responsibility of lead
ership, then you will have re
pudiated me," Romney said.
His challenge came after he
and Durant met for more than
an hour in a private confer
ence. During that time Rom
ney, as he had done on previ
ous occasions tried to per
suade Durant to step down.
But Romney, mentioned fre
quently as a GOP presidential
darkhorse in 1964, apparently
failed to win Durant over and
be made his appeal to party
leaders to oust Durant.
Romney said. "It's up to the
delegates to elect the people
they want as leaders. But I
appeal to you not to elect to
real or ostensible leadership
such a man."
Durant ignored Romney ef
forts to get him to resign and
read a prepared statement in
which he said "it distresses
me deeply to see Republicans
quarrelling with one another."
He added that he was "person
ally proud to be a party of
the army of people" who will
elect Romney this fall.
Although Durant is vice
chairman of the district organ
ization, there is no dispute
that he is the real boss. No
mention was made of District
Chairman Stanley J. Baldwin,
but he is a Durant supporter
and presumably would step
down if Durant were ousted.
Precinct Delegates
The showdown in the power
struggle will come Aug. 15
when GOP precinct delegates
are elected at the district par
ty conventions. The delegates
elect district officers.
Pro-Durant forces are op
posed by an anti-Durant group
calling itself the Republican
Action Commitee.

Colony of Cankerwormt
Deftly Dodged Bird
As if measuring the actual
distance from the trunk to the
first group of tender green
leaves of the fruit tree, the
cankerworm looped outward
along the branch. It wasn't
alone: several of its fellows
looped alongside, behind and
before, all headed toward the
edible destination.
Sensitive to every and all
outside disturbance, the worms
heard or sensed the soft swish
of bird wings. The members
of the worm group immediate
ly stopped their forward prog
ress and assumed the protec
tive measures characteristic of
their kind.
Some deliberately leaped
from the limb and fell toward
the ground for a few feet,
brought to a springy stop by a
thread of silk they had ejected
from their mouths as they fell
from the branches-a line they
had previously attached to the
limb for just such an emer
gency. They teetered up and
down on the end of the elastic
cord. The bird, aiming for a
worm on a limb missed its
target.
Danger Passed
The swish of bird wings,
passed on-but the canker
worms swung gently at the
end of their lifelines. Slowly
the knowledge came to their
sluggish nervous systems that
the danger had passed.
The cankcrworms, suspend
ed from the support by the
silk cords, began winding the
line, using the mouth parts
they wrapped the lifeline
around and around their fore
limbs, at the same time ele
vating themselves back up to
the tree limb. Once there, they
resumed the journey toward
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
All were back in business i
again. j
Soon comes the day when
they will drop off into a deep i
sleep to transform themselves
and later emerge as slender
bodied, gray or brown geo
metrid moths. The so-called
"fall cankerworm," the eggs j
of which are laid by a wing-,
less female, will emerge from
their place in the earth in the
fall. Others will emerge in
the spring from eggs laid the
previous fall.
A colony of cankerworms
can completely defoliate a
shade or fruit tree. They have
been at times serious pests in
fruit orchards. These were the
obnoxious worms the import
ed English sparrow was ex
pected to destroy.
Part of the trouble was the
deceptive manner in which
the worms behaved in imi
tating a twig or hanging by a
thread. The poor bird just
couldn't always find them.
