For the Record

■ Final election tidbits. Ten of the fourteen states that voted on propositions to lower the voting age turned them down. . . . In California, John Birch member John Rousselot won a seat in House beating out Medgar Evers’ widow, Myrlie Evers, running on a peace platform. The other John Birch candidate, John Schmitz, also won. Judge Alfred Gitelson, who handed down sweeping ruling that would force Los Angeles to integrate all its schools by Sept. 1971, was overwhelmingly defeated, and James Flournoy, the conservative Republican Negro running for secretary of state was defeated by white liberal Democrat Edmund Brown Jr. (son of Pat). . . . In Massachusetts, Howard Phillips, a founding member of YAF lost his House race to liberal Democrat Michael Harrington. . . . Sen. Thomas Dodd, who lost his three-way race to Republican Lowell Weicker, reportedly intends to run for the House in ’72, against Republican Robert Steele in the 2nd CD. . . . In Michigan, conservative State Senator Robert Huber, who lost a close primary to Lenore Romney, reports he’s thinking of forming a new conservative third party in that state.

■ Jockeying for position: In House it looks as if Hale Boggs of Louisiana will succeed Carl Albert as Majority Leader in 92nd Congress. Albert will be moving up to Speaker, succeeding John McCormack. Young Dmocratic liberals would rather see Morris Udall (Ariz.) or James O’Hara (Mich.) get the job. . . . In Senate, Republicans wanting Hugh Scott to continue as Minority Leader claim they will get the votes of four newly elected senators: Weicker (Conn.), Taft (Ohio), Roth (Del.), Beall (Md.). . . . Senate leaders working behind the scenes to dissuade Jacob Javits from appointing a girl page—the first ever—in next Senate. Javits appointed the first Negro and the first Puerto Rican to the page staff. . . . Beefing up his staff: Spiro Agnew has appointed David Keene, national chairman of Young Americans for Freedom, as a special assistant on political affairs and conservative public relations man (and NR contributor) Victor Gold his press aide. . . . Ron Docksai, of N.Y. YAF has been named to succeed Keene.
