Nixon Puts Patronage On The Upswing
Washington AP reports the Nixon administration has replaced 94 percent of 2,150 confidential or political posts with Republicans, while many Democratic holdovers remain in nonpolicy ratings. The drive, led by Harry Flemming and aides, aims at broad GOP control though several high posts and U.S. attorneys remain Democratic. The shift has sparked Democratic complaints about abolished careers and new Republican appointments amid ongoing reshuffles.
