Shriver Eyes Run Against Dirksen in Illinois Senate
Sargent Shriver plans to resign as Johnson's War on Poverty director within weeks to enter the Illinois Senate race against Republican Leader Everett Dirksen. Gov. Kerner, who had been seen as a barrier, said he would not seek reelection, opening gubernatorial and senate opportunities. The move follows speculation of Ford Motor Co board chair Henry Ford II for a high government post.
