Kennedy Enters New York Senate Race With Big Fight Ahead
Atty General Robert F. Kennedy challenges Senator Kenneth B. Keating for the Rochester Republican seat as Clare Boothe Luce also seeks the Conservative line. The contest, already likened to a major postwar battle, is shaping into a national headline race as nominations loom and political tensions rise.

Keating dismisses Kennedy with a sharp quip about guiding him through Empire State politics. Kennedy did not move to New York until this month, delaying residency requirements.
