Breeding Castigates Right Wing Opposition
HUTCHINSON—(UPI)—U.S. Rep. J. Floyd Breeding, D-Kan., today predicted that "extreme right wing, reactionary groups" from all over the country would pour money into the fall campaign in an effort to defeat him.
Speaking at the opening of his campaign headquarters at the Leon Hotel here, Breeding said, "the Americans for Constitutional Action and other extremist groups have marked me for political extinction.
"But I believe the people of this part of Kansas are too wise to follow the council of these extremists whose record of opposition to progressive programs is unmatched in the history of the nation," the lone Kansas Democratic congressman said.
BREEDING continued, "the ACA is the same group which tried to defeat me two years ago. They are the bunch, you will remember, which tried to tell the people of Kansas that I am a socialist and they cited as proof two votes which I cast for 90 per cent price supports for wheat.
"To show that this bunch has not changed, and that they are still as reactionary as ever, they have printed a report which says that my vote for the 1961 voluntary feed grain program was a socialistic vote. My opponent voted against this bill and for opposing the farmers of Kansas he is cited by the ACA as a great exponent of freedom."
BREEDING charged that the ACA also opposes the social security program and the income tax.
Breeding closed, "despite the ACA, the John Birch Society and the other right wing radicals who have embraced my opponent, we are going to win this election."
