Both candidates for governor, Democrat incumbent John N. Dempsey and Republican insur- ance executive John Alsop, are relatively colorless, and the con- test for the Senate seat is attract- Ing more attention. Former Gov. Abraham Ribicoff, lately secretary of welfare, is given a very slight edge over Rep. Hor- ace Seely-Brown. Though Ribi- coff, an immensely popular Demo- crat, was Connecticut's favorite son, Seely-Brown is putting out a folksy campaign which appeals to voters. THE OUTCOME ... The Democrats will sweep all except one of Connecticut's six House seats barring repercus- sions of the Cuba affair. Maine Republicans are expected to re- tain control of Maine politics; however, the Democrats are mak- lng quite an effort to form an upset, and nobody discounts the possibilities. Republican Governor John N. Reed has led a relatively lacklus- ter administration and is now shaking many hand to make the voters forget this. His opponent, Maynard G. Dolloff, (D) was for- mer head of the Maine State Grange. The Democrat is popular among Maine's rural voters, who hold the balance of power in the state. Maine, which lost a House seat in national reapportionment, has gerrymandered her districts so as ot give GOP Rep. Clifford G. Mc- Intire a hard time. THE OUTCOME.. . Republican registration, bar- ring the flukes of politics, should slide Gov. Reed and his two House partners to victory. Massachusetts The big race here is for a Sen- ate seat, sought by both Edward -X. 'Ted' Kennedy, Democrat and brother of the President, and George Cabot Lodge, Republican and son of former United Nations ambassador, Henry Cabot Lodge. Gov. John A. Volpe (R) and En- dicott Peabody (D) are campaign- ing hard in a close race for the state house. Though Lodge's headquarters concede nothing, many observers predict another Kennedy win. He is campaigning on the theme that he can do "more for Massachu- setts." Lodge has been hitting the "Kennedy dynasty" issue. Gov. Volpe, Republican, with his Italian-American background, was considered a sure winner in a Democrat state, but this predic- tion is not so certain now. Oppon- ent Peabody appears to be fighting quite hard and hopes a big Ken- nedy win will sweep him in also. THE OUTCOME ... Ted Kennedy should shuffle out George Cabot Lodge. Gov. John A. Volpe is expect- ed to retain his office. The Democrats and Republi- cans will equally share the loss of a seat each in Massachusetts' House delegation incurred by reapportionment. New Hampshire Democrats are looking hopefully for the first bright light in New Hampshire politics since the New Deal. The Republican Party, in the throes of internal quarreling, could conceivably lose the gover- norship and a Senate seat. Republican Gov. Wesley Powell, in his bid for re-election, was un- seated in the primary. Dolores Bridges, wife of the popular con- servative, the late Sen. Styles Bridges, also lost in the primary her race for her husband's seat. Both losers are bitter. Powell even threw his support to Demo- crat John W. King. The latter is given at least an even chance to beat Republican gubernatorial candidate John Pillsbury. Rep. Perkins Bass, who defeated Mrs. Bridges in the primary, is running scared against Thomas J. McIntyre, Jr., (D). THE OUTCOME ... The gubernatorial race is any- body's guess; probably it will fall to the GOP, due to tradition. The Granite State will prob- ably give her two Senate and 'BIG JOHN' PILLSBURY . . . New Hampshire Iowa It appears to be a Republican year in Iowa. Republican Gov. Norman Erbe and GOP Sen. Bourke B. Hicken- looper both seem assured of re- election, while Iowa's loss of a House seat will be absorbed by the Democrats. Erbe is opposed in the guber- natorial race by Harold Hughes, a former Republican. Hickenloop- er's opponent is Prof. E. B. Smith of Iowa State University, who supports the Kennedy program. THE OUTCOME . . . Both Gov. Erbe and Sen. Hickenlooper will be re-elected. The Democrats will lose one House seat, giving the Republi- cans a 6-1 advantage. Kansas All appears to be gloom for Democrats in Kansas this year; Republicans are expected to sweep races for two Senate seats, the governorship, and Congress. Popular Republican Gov. John Anderson is heavily favored over his opponent, Democrat Dale Saf- fels. Incumbent Republican Senators Frank Carlson and James Pearson are expected to crush their rivals, K. L. Smith and Paul Aylward. Kansas' lone Democrat in Con- gress is also expected to be elim- inated by reapportionment of the House districts. . House seats to the Republicans again. Rhode Island Heavily Democrat Rhode Island can be expected to return its gov- ernor and two House members to office. Though Republican John H. Chafee is giving Governor John A. Notte a run for his money, the Democrat governor will probably be re-elected on a platform of austerity and no new taxes. THE OUTCOME ... The Democrats will capture the governor's house and the two House seats. Vermont Traditionally Republican Ver- mont is expected to make no radi- cal changes in its political choices for governor and senator. The Democrats have been cut- ting down GOP margin of victory in this state which has not deliv- ered a Democratic administration in this century. However, Republi- can registration is topheavy. Republican Gov. F. Ray Keyser, Jr., will probably bounce challeng- er Philip A. Hoff (D). Sen. George Aiken, Republican liberal, is expected to swamp W. Robert Johnson, Democrat. THE OUTCOME ... The Green Mountain State will return Gov. Keyser, Sen. Aiken, and Rep. Robert T. Staf- ford (R) to the statehouse, Sen- ate and House. THE OUTCOME ... Seaton will win in an ex- tremely close race. Nebraska's House delegation will be all Republican, a GOP loss of one. North Dakota The race for the governor's mansion in this politically unpre- dictable state is extremely close, b u t Republican S en . Milton Young's bid for re-election is al- most sure of success. Incumbent Democrat Gov. Wil- liam Guy holds a slim lead over Republican Mark Andrews, a Na- tional Committeeman. The Re- publican vote total topped the Democrat's by 20,000 votes in the primary but Democrats usually do better here in the general elec- tion. B ot h incumbent Republican Congressmen seem safe in their bids for re-election. THE OUTCOME . . . Gov. Guy will be re-elected, as will Sen. Young. Both Republicans will be re- turned to the House. South Dakota In heavily Republican South Dakota, GOP candidates for gov- ernor and senator are both fac- orites. Bottom, like other Republican senators who took a strong stand on Cuba, has been reaping the benefits of the President's recent action against the Caribbean nation. Incumbent Republican G o v. Archie Gubbrud is favored by 66 per cent according to a recent poll. His opponent is former Gov. Rob- ert Herseth (D) whom he defeated in 1960. Newly appointed Republican Sen. Joe Bottum holds a fair lead over former Food-for-Peace Direc- tor George McGovern. However, McGovern is a proven vote-getter, having been elected to the House twice. Both Republican Congressmen seem assured of re-election. THE OUTCOME ... Both Gov. Gubbrud and Sen. Bottum will succeed in their bids for re-election. Both House seats will remain Republican. Delaware Republican Wilmer F. Williams has been unable to scare up an is- sue to hand him victory over Rep. Harris B. McDowell (D) in the only major race here. THE OUTCOME ... Democrats will hold their ground. New Jersey The Garden State campaign is microscopic. Present line-up in the House is eight Republicans, five Democrats, one vacancy.tThe state gains one more seat through reapportion- ment, which the Democrats are likely to snap up. The vacancy leans to the GOP. THE OUTCOME ... New House delegation: Nine Republicans, six Democrats -- each party gains one seat. Maryland The Maryland campaign was fairly dull, until the Democratic Party was rocked by the indict- ment of Rep. Thomas F. Johnson (D) on charges of abetting mail fraud. Close on the heels of that, a violent controversy broke out over the failure of many savings- and-loan associations under the loose restrictions imposed by the Democrat-controlled state. Final- ly, to top it all off, the Democrats have split down the middle on gambling, legal in four southern counties by local option. Gov. J. Millard Tawes (D) fa- vors local option, but David Hume, who lost out to him in the primary and still wields an influence, wants all gambling abolished. Tawes must win the metropoli- tan areas, which backed Hume, to win big. His Republican opponent, former Rep. Frank Small Jr., fa- vors local option, solidifying the outstate vote. Meanwhile, the House picture has gotten all muddled up. Pres- ent lineup is six Democrats, one Republican. Three Democrats and the Republican are safe. The state gains one seat through reap- portionment which is being elect- ed at-large and could go either way. Republicans appear to be ahead in the second district, the seat va- cated by Rep. Daniel B. Brewster (D), who is running for the Sen- ate. They now also are hoping to snare off Johnson's seat, due to the indictment, which they are hanging on the whole Democrat slate. Meanwhile the Senate contest seesaws about madly. Brewster ap- pears to be out in front of his Re- publican opponent, former Rep. Edward T. Miller, but the Demo- crat has become entangled in the savings-and-loan scandal and this could upset him. THE OUTCOME ... Gov. Tawes will win by breath. Rep. Brewster will squeeze by, to become the new senator - a GOP loss of the seat now held by Sen. John Marshall Butler. The House line-up: Probably five Democrats, three Republi- cans - a GOP gain of two, a Democrat loss of one. New York The Republicans are likely to sweep the high offices of the Em- pire State. Against a background of Demo- crat indecision, Gov. Nelson M. Rockefeller, (R) and Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R) should win handily. The senator's opponent, James B. Donovan (D), has been aiding the cause of the Cubans captured at the Bay of Pigs. The governor's opponent, Robert Morgenthau, (D) is a political un- known. He has been trying to use his war record as a political springboard, but the effect is un- pronounced. However, though the Republi- cans are fairly sure of victory, their margin may not be as great as in 1958. The Liberal Party, which has sometimes held the balance of power in New York elections, has' announced it will no longer sup- port Republicans. The newly formed Conservative Party will likewise detract from the Republi- can total. The margin of victory is import- ant to the governor. It will serious- ly influence his bid for the presi- dency in 1964. The state is losing two seats in the House from reapportionment, where the GOP juggling. THE OUTCOME... Gov. Rockefeller is on top. Sen. Javits likewise. The Democrats may lose as many as six seats in the House, with the Republicans gaining four. Pennsylvania In a hotly fought campaign, ofb- servers are put to a loss trying to predict the outcome of the gov- ernor's race. Though Rep. William W. Scran- ton (R), is believed to be leading Richardson Dilworth, former Dem- ocrat mayor: of Philadelphia is catching up. In the senatorial campaign, in- cumbent liberal Democrat Sen. Jo- seph S. Clark is quite a bit ahead of Rep. James E. Van Zandt, a conservative. Though catching up, the latter lacks the platform ora- tory which garners female and in- dependent votes. Because of national reapportion- ment, Pennsylvania lost three seats in the House. Most professional guessers put Pennsylvania's new House delega- tion at 13 Democrats and 14 Re- publicans. THE OUTCOME.. Republican Scranton may barely edge into the governor's chair, and from there, into the 1964 presidential limelight. Democrat Clark will be re- turned to the Senate. The House delegation will be divided about equally between the two parties. West Virginia Among the five House races, the Democrats can count on three sure winners. Republicans appear to have the edge in the new first dis- trict, where redistricting threw a Democrat incumbent against the lone Republican in the delegation. Republicans have an outside chance of pulling an upset in the remaining district, now held by the Democrats. THE OUTCOME ... New line-up: Democrats four, Republicans one--a Democrat loss of one. I I I I ( handled the I I '' ,I THE OUTCOME ... A landslide victory for; publican candidates--a crat loss in the House seat. all Re- Demo- of one Nebraska Nebraska, long a GOP strong- hold, is experiencing an interesting gubernatorial race. Incumbent Democrat Gov. Frank Morrison is attempting to avoid the party label, while using his more projective personality to defeat his opponent, Fred Seat- on, secretary of the interior under Gen. Eisenhower. The race is rated a toss-up, whether Morrison's personality can overcome Seaton's national reputation and Republican label. The three remaining Nebraska House seats are expected to remain Republican. Congressional Hopef uls View Issues of Cam pal gn Congressman-at-Large I United States Congressman Alvin Bentley Neil Staebler George Meader Thomas Paine 1) The Number One state issue in Michigan today is jobs: keeping the ones we have, and finding new ones-820,000 by 1970, to keep pace with our population and bring full employment to our labor force. The essential ingredients for full employment are two: confi- dence in the government, and in- centives to produce. Therefore, any federal programs which tend to restore the badly- shaken confidence of the business comunity in the Administration's good intentions, and stimulate the economy by encouraging invest- ment and industrial expansion - because it is only investment and expansion which can create jobs- will help the state of Michigan. I have proposed a tax reform pro- gram which calls for reducing per- sonal Income taxes in both the low' and high brackets - to a low of 15 per cent or 18 per cent and a high of not over 65 per cent - and which would reduce the cor- porate profits tax from 52 per cent to 47 per cent as a further incen- tive to economic expansion. I al ) believe that the new Con- gressman-at-large, because he is bound to no particular district of the state, has a unique opportun- ity to bring defense contracts to Michigan, and jobs with them. Michigan, once the leader in de- fense contracts, has , fallen to a miserable 2.7, per cent of prime military contract awards, and lags far behind in research grants to educational and other institutions. 2) I am convinced that a vast majority of Americans want to keep the responsibility for public education as close to home as pos- sible. They realize it is inevitable that a Congress which appropri- ates billions of taxpayers' dollars must also police the spending of those dollars; he who pays the piper has every right and respon- sibility to expect to call the tune. There are already a number of programs of federal support for education, and with them has come a measure of federal control. We have gone far enough along that road. As Chairman of the Michigan Constitutional Convention Com- mittee on Education, I had the op- portunity to become thoroughly acquainted with and well aware of the responsibilities of our state government in this field. I believe that our state government can do '0 of careful exploration. And I in- sist that all federal aid funds, in any program, new or old, must be denied to any state or locality which maintains a racially segre- gated school system. 3) In this, as in many areas, vol- untary action is better than com- pulsion. Government, at all levels, has a responsibility in the field of health care for the aged. But this re- sponsibility must be met with ob- jectivity and not with concern for mere political advantage. I recently outlined my program for Health Care which creates a Federal Health Insurance Corpor- ation, a private non-profit organ- ization, similar to the Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation, which would have initial Federal gov- ernment sponsorship. The purpose of the Federal Health Insurance Corporation would be to enable private insur- ance companies and prepayment plans to pool the risk of health in- surance for the aged. Such a pool- ing of risks would make it possible for broader health care coverage at rates lower than now possible for everyone 65 and over. 1) Michigan is a direct benefi- ciary of national economic growth and prosperity as is witnessed by the current drop in unemployment in the State to one per cent be- low the national average, the low- est level since 1955. Out of a work force of 2.8 mil- lion, we have only 140,000 unem- ployed compared to 238,000 out of work in August. The significance of this is that because of the gen- eral national economic growth, more people find themselves able to buy automobiles and our auto industry connected employment thus is up. President Kennedy's program for economic growth will have my complete support in Congress. It is of benefit to Michigan to keep the country prosperous. In addition, the President's pro- gram includes a philosophy of stimulating the weak spots in our economy. Thus we have the area redevel- opment program, manpower train- ing and development program, and the $900 million public works pro- gram, each of which is of direct benefit to Michigan. In fact, Gov. Swainson's prompt action has re- sulted in Michigan being the first to institute and take advantage of these programs. 2) I favor a program of Federal aid to higher education as has been outlined in the Kennedy pro- grams which missed passage in this Congress by narrow margins. The cost of higher education has tripled since 1940. Our exploding population will produce a 38 per cent increase in the number of students entering college just within the next two years, and our facilities are not keeping pace with this expansion. In addition, 40 per cent of our graduating high school students cannot afford to go to college. I have proposed in this specific area a Federal self-liquidating fund to provide loans to all quali- fied public or private college stu- dents. If elected, I shall intro- duce this bill which shall also have . 1) I led the fight to remove theI arbitrary limitation on indirect research costs. Although I was not' successful in complete removal, I did manage to have the ceiling increased to the point where it is worth more than $250,000 to the University. Also, I have introduced in the Congress, and will reintroduce again at the next session if I am re-elected, a Hoover-type commis- sion to study research costs and the relationship of the federal gov- ernment to universities and the impact of federal research funds. i a thousand per day; that we have 17 million people over 65 now, and will have a 33 per cent increase in this age group within ten years. I do not believe in the present charity approach for taking care of the health needs of our elderly, most of whom cannot afford pri- vate insurance. The charity approach is degrad- ing. It is a burden on our already overtaxed property owners, and we should remember that before our older people reach this stage they will have exhausted their own meager resources and quite often mortgaged the future of their chil- dren and even of their grandchil- dren to pay hospital bills during a lengthy illness. The medicare approach under Social Security would cost people working no more than 25 cents a week and would cost those retired nothing. It is a pay-as-you-go method whereby we lay away money for our future health care needs dur- ing the period in which we are em- ployed. 4) The most urgent problems before the next Congress, in my opinion, include the action on the programs for medicare, federal aid to education, economic growth, in- cluding the President's proposal for tax reform, and foreign aid, which is a major problem in every Congress. Foreign affairs, of course, will continue to be an ur- gent problem. Tt :s my. ni-:n that tha nn _ As far as government contracts for Michigan are concerned, there seems to be a misconception that a congressman can get them for anybody. They are awarded on the basis of merit. If Michigan feels it is being discriminated against in the awarding of gov- ernment contracts, action must be on the local level. 2) I am interested in seeing the federal government provide re- search funds and construct build- ings. If federal assistance could be given without managerial decisions being put in the hands of a bu-' reaucratic government agency, I would favor it. However, if the University gets its operating funds from the federal government, it will mean federal control. I have voted in favor of the lege Facalities Bill and the tional Defense Education Col- Na- Act scholarships. 3) I voted for the Kerr-Mills bill. If that proves to be inade- quate, and it hasn't been in oper- ation long enough to tell yet, I would vote for a plan that means no federal control of health facili- ties. The King-Anderson bill (the administration - backed medicare plan) did not reach the House. It was only voted upon in the Sen- ate. I would prefer to withhold opinion on the specific bill until it has finished final committee con- siderations .and its provisions are settled. However, I am against socialized medicine. One can argue whether the King-Anderson bill is socializ- ed medicine, or whether it is the first step in a program that may grow and grow until it becomes socialized medicine. 4) I think the most important nrohlems that will face the Con- nations to rise economically through private investment. Only through economic stability can these nations achieve political stability. The - administration tax bill, which taxes foreign profits before they are even brought back into this country, will hurt efforts to encourage companies to invest in underdeveloped lands. I also have opposed the success- ful effort to remove the disarma- ment agency from the control of the State Department. This can only contribute to the fragmenta- tion of American foreign policy. In the area of disarmament, the United States cannot disarm until it is no longer in danger of in- ternational Communist aggression. We cannot disarm unilaterally. 5) I wholly support the Presi- dent's action in Cuba. But Castroism is only a surface indication of a problem that is oc- curring throughout Latin America. Cuba is definitely a Soviet satel- lite. This can be shown by Khrush- chev's agreement to remove Rus- sian missile bases from Cuba with- out even consulting Castro before- hand. CONGRESSIONAL QUESTIONS 1) What can or should be done at the federal level to help the State of Michigan? 2) How do you feel about federal aid to higher education 1) Michigan's economic status generally tends to follow, with ex- treme exaggeration, the economic situation throughout the nation. Michigan would benefit greatly from the restoration of full em- ployment in the United States, and K from the general uplift in nation- al purchasing power which would result. In the. event the interna- tional situation does not become more critical, I would advocate a [ reduction in federal, personal, and corporate income tax rates which would allow the economy to at- tain full enployment before the federal cash budget began to show surpluses. A specific program which will help Michigan is the retraining piogram for urnempoyed workers. 2) I favor federal aid to higher education because I believe that it is the only way that the serious and growing problems of financing ble, let me outline several pro- this vital need will be met.
