Quietly eased out last week, Paul Corbin, chief patronage dispenser of Democratic National Committee. Corbin, pal of Bobby Kennedy’s, got the job originally because of his help in stirring up the Wisconsin Catholic vote for JFK by mailing virulently anti-Catholic literature to Catholics in 1960 primary (see NR, Dec. 16, 1961). Corbin reportedly has landed job with Joseph P. Kennedy family enterprises. . . . Resentment brewing among Young Republicans (who noisily favored Barry Goldwater at national convention last July) against former GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn. Alcorn has suggested “reforms” to clamp down on YRs , who counter by pointing out that they can always go it alone, raise their own money.
