Labor’s role in the cam-
paign drew further atten-
tion Thursday from the two
Democrats in a runoff for
the Texas Attorney Gene-
ral’s nomination.
Texas AFL-CIO President H.
S. Brown renewed a public ap-
peal, meanwhile, in behalf of
Franklin Spears, who is pitted
against Crawford Martin in the
party’s June 4 runoff primary.
Spears asserted at Lufkin that
Martin, in urging that voters
keep labor interests from taking
control of the attorney general’s
office, has employed “the old
technique of labor baiting — a
technique which has long been
discredited by Texas voters.”
In a night speech at Tyler,
Spears followed up by dedar-

Martin, addressing backers at

said Spears held closed meetings
the day before with groups in
