For the Record

Senatorial countdown: by New Year’s Day five senators, three Democrats (Harold Hughes, Alan Bible, Sam Ervin) and two Republicans (Norris Cotton, Wallace Bennett), had announced they wouldn’t run in November. To even matters out, a Democrat (Howard Metzenbaum) had replaced a Republican, Attorney General William Saxbe, as senator from Ohio. Metzenbaum incidentally sent IRS a check for $118,000 in disputed back taxes two days before he was named. . . . Republicans think they have good chance of winning Ervin’s seat with former St. Louis Cardinals’ pitcher Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell, now a GOP congressman from North Carolina . . . Ramsey Clark is still talking about running for Jacob Javits’ seat in November and says he won’t accept any contribution of more than $100. . . . Wall Street Journal believes John Lindsay will hold off until ’76 and then run against former Yale Law School classmate James Buckley. . . . Former Attorney General and everything else Elliot Richardson has signed on with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars where he is doing a study on federal-state relations, but taking time off for plenty of speechmaking. Down Massachusetts way they think he plans to run for governor as stepping stone to a presidential try in ’76 or ’80. . . . Congressman Wayne Hays (D., Ohio) has his eye on John Gardner and charges Gardner’s opulent Common Cause will provide the springboard for his presidential leap. (In first nine months of 1973, Common Cause took in over $4 million, spent just under $700,000 in lobbying expenditures.) . . . Evans & Novak pick as their dark horse Democratic candidates for ’76: Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas, a moderate who has managed to stem a threatened bolt by conservative Democrats to the Republican Party; Arkansas Gov Dale Bumpers; and Ohio Gov. John J. Gilligan. Bentsen, incidentally, has started to make foreign policy noises; is believed to favor restored relations with Castro Cuba.

“Do I detect a slight political slant in the French fashion houses’ spring designs?”
