For the Record

FOR THE RECORD m@ Big labor’s political muscle will be concentrated in ninety congressional districts, most of them in twelve major industrial states next year and in eight senatorial races: to help keep in office the very-threatened Senators Gruening of Alaska, McGovern of South Dakota, Clark of Pennsylvania, Nelson of Wis- consin, Bayh of Indiana, Brewster of Maryland, Monroney of Oklahoma. … House cutdown on appropriations for poverty program could be the straw Sar- gent Shriver has been looking for to get out of LBJ government; that plus re- ports that enlistments in Shriver’s first baby, the Peace Corps; are off 30° per cent. . . . Will he run against Everett Dirksen in [llinois? Chances are good. Shriver is slightly (ever so slightly) pre- ferred to Adlai IIT by Chicago boss Mayor Daley. . . . Massachusetts pols doubt Postmaster General Larry O’- Brien will stand in for LBJ in Massa- chusetts primary against McCarthy.

Two reasons: O’Brien doesn’t want to — get in wrong with Kennedys; he may by that time be too busy masterminding LBJ’s campaign (he was the architect of JFK’s paperthin win over Richard Nixon in 1960). … As expected, Paul McCloskey, who beat out Shirley Tem- ple Black, won his race against Dem- ocrat Roy Archibald in Dec. 12 runoff. But he may not be in Congress long. Intimates say Mrs. Black will make a fight of it against McCloskey in primary next year—at which only registered Republicans will vote.
