Senator Muskie of Maine left doubt he will challenge Senator Russell Long of Louisiana for the Democratic Senate whip or assistant leader post. Liberal Democrats press Muskie to enter the race while Senator Hart, ill with flu, appears unlikely to run. Republican bids include Gordon Allott seeking the Policy Committee chair, with Kuchel’s seat opening for GOP minority leadership rivals.
