For the Record

■ Election tidbits: Romney for President organizers first at Presidential gate. By Wednesday Nov. 9 bumper stickers in Detroit proclaimed: “Great for ’68—Romney.” . . . Insiders say New York Deputy Mayor Robert Price (necromancer-in-chief of Lindsay campaigns) will be active in Romney campaign. He’s resigning his NYC job in January. . . . For umpteenth time F. Clifton White (architect of Goldwater nomination) denies he is working for Romney. Means it. . . . Boomlet started among Republican conservatives in California for Dr. Max Rafferty. They hope to run him against non-party-player Sen. Thomas Kuchel in ’68 primary. . . . Democratic nominee could be Mayor Sam Yorty, also boomletting. . . . Barry Goldwater’s comment on the election: “An LBJ backlash.”

■ Re-elected: oldest House member, 88-year-old Democratic Rep. Barratt O’Hara (whose hearings on South Africa last spring were duds). Bounced, in double-whammy: youngest House member, Democratic Rep. Jed Johnson of Oklahoma who lost a) his seat and b) his draft deferment. . . . Alaska flip-flopped into Republican ranks with Democrats losing two of top three jobs at stake (Governor, Congressmanat-large), retaining Bob Bartlett’s Senate seat. . . . Communist Herbert Aptheker, running in New York’s 12th CD, polled fewer than 3,000 votes (or 2.5 per cent). His opponent whom Aptheker had proposed to clobber (campaign song: Get out the vote, Get out the vote, send Edna Kelly down the drain) got 73 per cent. . . . Worker saw election as “Voter Rebuff to War-hawks”. . . . France’s influential Le Monde commented: “The Democrats are doomed to prudence.”
