■ It will come as a shock, Republican showing in the House come Nov. 3. Reason? Administration has persuaded so many young capable conservative congressmen to run for Senate. They include: George Bush, Texas, Robert Taft, Ohio, Richard Roudebush, Indiana, William Brock, Tennessee, John Wold, Wyoming, Clark McGregor, Minnesota, Larry Burton, Utah and William Cramer, Florida. (Cramer is in hot Republican primary fight with Harrold Carswell.) Prime GOP targets are Senators Hartke (Indiana), Gore (Tennessee), Moss (Utah), McGee (Wyoming). . . . Maryland race which had seemed sure thing for Democrats (Joseph Tydings is the incumbent) less sure now because of entry into the race of perennial candidate George (Moola) Mahoney and Tydings’ sponsorship of controversial D.C. Crime Bill. Edmund Muskie’s office has now announced that Muskie will make at least one campaign appearance for Tydings in October. . . . Tydings’ opponent is yet another Republican congressman, Glenn Beall; his father was the incumbent last time out. . . . Democrats encouraged by latest Quayle poll which shows Representative John Tunney now running a shade ahead of George Murphy. . . . Democratic peaceniks out to get Senator Henry Jackson— a staunch Administration supporter on Vietnam and defense matters—enlisted support of Eugene McCarthy last week. McCarthy now says he’ll campaign for Jackson’s opponent Carl Maxey. Jackson’s voting record, incidentally is: COPE, 99 per cent; ACA, 8 per cent.

■ Bad month for the Bad Guys: Chicago Seven attorney William Kunstler has asked permission of judge to leave the country in order to stand trial on assault charge in Toronto. He’s appealing a contempt conviction in Chicago. . . . César Chavez’ son Fernando indicted in Fresno on charges of draft evasion. . . . Canada has banned importation of Black Panther Party newspaper as “seditious material.” . . . Liberation News Service, which supplies much of the leftwing and underground press with smarmy news, announces it’s in trouble financially. . . . And John Mitchell has asked the Subversive Activities Control Board to designate the Young Workers Liberation League and the Center for Marxist Education as Communist front organizations. This is the first time the SACB has been asked to take such action since the W. E. B. DuBois Clubs were classified as fronts a half-dozen years ago.
