Taft Illness Could Tilt Senate to Democrats
Reported illness of Senator Robert A. Taft could spark a party shakeup in Washington. With 47 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and Senator Morse independent, a Taft retirement and key appointments by Govs Lausche and Gregg could shift control as Ohio and New Hampshire seats influence the balance. If Morse backs Democrats, Democrats gain control. if he sides with Republicans, a Nixon vote could preserve GOP grip.
