Everett Dirksen to Press New Fronts in 1963 Senate Battle
Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen plans to launch a new drive in January to block a House approved bill outlawing state bans on the union shop and to seek two thirds support for a constitutional amendment on one house apportionment. He remains a decisive ally of Johnson on Viet Nam and a skilled mediator on domestic issues, while continuing his combative role against Kennedy appointees. Dirksen, 70, has a storied Capitol presence and a history of steering key legislation, including the voting rights bill and the union shop fight.
