Leadership changes loom on both parties in Congress
Washington AP reports looming shifts in House and Senate leadership as health and political fortune drive a reshuffle. Republicans toppled Halleck in 1964 with Ford poised for reward if gains arise. Democrats question Albert buoyed by McCormack’s age and Albert’s frailties, while Boggs faces Northern opposition and Moss remains sidelined. Dirksen’s hip injury fuels a Kuchel challenge, with Hruska tipped as possible successor. Mansfield remains entrenched, but Long and Muskie or Pastore may loom as aides.

In Texas the magic turnout is two million votes for the U S Senate contest between Carr and Tower. Labor and Democratic groups back neither, while Republicans count on turnout and defections by liberal Democrats. President Johnson’s endorsement of Carr and a mixed coalition of conservatives and liberals shape a tight, multi-faction battle for the seat once held by Lyndon B Johnson.
