Taft-Gilligan Race: Tightest Congressional Election

*1

CINCINNATI (iP) - Swiftly the
Plymouth convertible swerved and
Bob Taft took the expressway exit
so hurriedly that his sound truck
behind missed the turn.3
No one could say Taft was driv-1
ing reckle1sly. He was just anothere
harassed candidate without a min-s
ute to spare. Y
For Robert Taft Jr. is racing
for his political life against Rep.
John Joyce Gilligan, a first-termI
Democrat, in what looks like the
nation's No. 1 congressional con-I
test.

This race has everything: The*
Taft name, a national political
force for four generations (his
grandad was president and chief
justice, dad was Mr. Republican);
lively, young, articulate contend-
ers, money to spend, vociferous
supporters who feel that if their
hero is drubbed then all mankind
is doomed, the prospect of a fin-
ish that could be in doubt to the
last ballot.
In 1964 only 14 of the 435 House
races were that close.
Each side has special reasons
for trying harder.
For the Republicans: Well, if
Bob Taft can't win, who can?
So well-known is the name that
on signs and campaign buttons
"TAFT" is the only message re-
quired. "The question here is," a
Democratic leader says, "how big
are those four letters."
Despite this brazen display of
cinfidence, gnawing doubts do
creep in.
After serving his apprenticeship
in the Ohio Legislature, Taft was
elected congiresman - at - large in
1962 and seemed on his way up,
maybe even to the White House.
Then, from Taft's viewpoint, a
terrible thing happened, namely,
Sen. Barry Goldwater, who lost
Ohio so one-sidedly to President
Johnson in 1964 that Taft sank,
too, in his bid for the Senate.
Now, as Taft supporters see it,
another defeat not only would be
a disaster for him, but it would
also be a major setback in their

attempt to steer the Republican
party along what they think is al
moderate path.
"There's only despair and con-
fusion on the right," Taft's cam-
paign manager, Paul Rubin, says.,
"The salvation of the Republican
party-if there is a salvation-isl
a man like Bob Taft."
For the Democrats: Lyndon B.
Johnson's success in pushing his1
"Great Society" programs through
Congress has been due to the loy-
alty of 48 freshmen Democrats. If+
Republicans can win back half or;
more of these seats--and this is
one of them - Johnson will get
little new legislation, and will have
trouble financing programs he al-
ready has.
At a recent rally attended by,
Gilligan, Jimmy Simpkins of the
Teamsters' Union put it on the
line:
"If we lost 10 or 12 seats, the
control of the House is going right
back into the hands of the Re-
publicans and the Southern Demo-
crats. It would be a shame and a
disgrace to the people of Ohio not
to send this man back to Con-
gress."
Sending this man back to Con-
gress won't be easy.
This district is the eastern part
of Hamilton County-Cincinnati.
It was strongly Republican when
Gilligan shocked everyone, himself
included, by winning by 5,411
votes in 1964. To make sure this
wouldn't happen again, the Ohio
Legislature gave the district a little

more real estate and 7,000 more
Republican votes.
"They tailor-made this district
for Bob Taft," Gilligan says.
Democrats, especially those who
are very poor, need a lot of arous-
ing before they will go to the
polls, and this is hard to do when
there's no presidential race.
"If you put them on a chart,
the Republican vote is always
there," Gilligan says. "The Demo-
cratic vote looks like a roller-
coaster. If we have a total vote
somewhat like 1964, I might be
able to shock him."
Approximately one out of five
voters here is a Negro. Taft has
invested money and time wooing
Negroes, but if they should turn
out in droves, he would be in real
trouble.
"The more people who stay
home, the better off I am," Taft's
campaign manager says.
Gilligan isn't only fighting Taft;
he's also battling a computer.
Painstakingly, the name of every
voter - and his preferences -was
collected and fed to the machine.
"You've got to go where the ducks
are," Goldwater used to say. In
these critical days before Nov. 8,
Taft can go where the undecidedf

ducks are.
Appropriately, Taft and Gilligan
stick to the classic arguments.
Taft claims he's for many social
changes, but is suspicious of the
federal government. "There is a
difference between the philosophy
of the two parties," he says.
"Creative federalism, as Hubert H.
Humphrey sees it, means bypass-
ing state and local government
and running and controlling iti
from Washington."
Some politicians around here
argue that Taft blundered when
he entered this race, that he has
little to gain and all to lose, that
he should have waited and run
for the Senate in 1968 or 1970.
Taft doesn't agree. "When you
believe as I do," he says, "you'd.
be some kind of a nut not to run."
What appalls Taft appeals to
Gilligan, who happily points to
federal goodies sprinkled on Cin-
cinnati.
"Too many people have the idea
that all this federal money is
loaded on a boat which-goes down
the Potomac and dumps it out at
sea," he says. "Why, the poverty
program alone has brought $8 mil-
lion into this area in the past two
years."

Tell them exactly what your trip will cost. Our free book-
lets help you calculate it.
One lists prices of organized student tours. They start
around $650. If you want to travel on your own and take
potluck on meeting people--which may be-the most fun
of all-add things up for yourself.
Start with a charter flight if your school has one. Or see
our booklet on group flights, student ships, and the bar-
gain airline.
Add low costs for getting around Britain. Our booklets
tell you about 3ยข-per-mile buses and the rail-and-boat
pass that takes you up to 1,000 miles for $30. Consider
hiking too. Wordsworth did.
Multiply the number of your nights in Britain by cost
of bed and breakfast or a room in a college residence hall.
If voii're hikingo r hiking -ount on hout 700 for vouth

with convivial British students.
And the booklets mention the fantastically low cost of
concerts and plays in Britain. You can sit in "the gods"-
galleries up near Heaven-for 750. A lot of outdoor enter-
tainment, like concerts and folk-singing, is free.
Clip the coupon. Add everything up. And tell your
parents you can spend this summer in Britain for about
what it costs to hang around the house.
