Likelihood of House Democrat Split Faces
Washington AP reports that Rep. Richard Bolling’s withdrawal from the race for majority leader and tentative approval of a new policy committee avert a split among House Democrats. Carl Albert of Oklahoma appears set to succeed McCormack as party floor leader, with Halleck’s prospects for speaker uncertain. Bolling says he had 70 to 80 sure votes and 40 possibles, insufficient to win, and notes reservations about civil rights and oil and gas.
