FIVE-WAY BATTLE
Majority leader race
WASHINGTON (A)-A spirit-
ed five-way race for the post of
majority leader of the House is
enlivening the lame-duck ses-
sion of Congress and setting the
stage for a bruising Democratic
party battle.
With Majority Leader Carl
Albert due to step up to Speaker
in the 92nd Congress, there is
heavy competition for his job-
a key position .that could help
determine the direction of Con-
gress for the next decade.
The announced, active candi-
dates are Reps. Hale Boggs of
Louisiana, Morris K. Udall of
Arizona, James G. O'Hara of
Michigan, B. F. Sisk of Califor-
nia and Wayne L. Hays of Ohio.
Trying to figure where each
man stands is difficult-for the
candidate as well as for onlook-
ers. No House member wants to
offend the next majority lead-
er, and not knowing at the mo-
ment who that will be he tries
to remain uncommitted as long
as possible.
For the same reason, commit-
ments, if given, are less than
ironclad.
But in the past week there
have been signs of movement
in the cloakrooms and private
offices where the campaign is
really being conducted.
The outward sign was en-
trance of Sisk into the race last
week. A Westerner with support
in the South, Sisk is seen as the
candidate of what might be call-
ed the House establishment-the
committee chairmen and senior
members who now wield the real
power and want to keep it.
Their candidate might have
been expected to be Boggs. a 30-
year House veteran and the,
party whip-third spot in the
leadership hierarchy behind the
speaker and majority leader.
But Boggs has alienated some
of his powerful Southern col-
leagues by voting for civil rights
bills and other liberal measures
generally opposed in the South,
and they have been instru-
mental in bringing Sisk into the
race.
This was a real blow to Boggs,
whose record has not been
enough to give him the support
of Northern liberals and issue-
oriented Democrats. Udall and
O'Ha'ra are fighting to give that
group its first piece of the House
leadership.
Hays, who has played pretty
eats up
ments ar not always what they
seem, Boggs claims slightly more
than 100 members have pledged
to vote for him and says he has
a good chance to win on the
first round.
The other candidates contend
Boggs has nothing like that
many commitments and think
he is trying to create a band-
wagon psychology to stampede
the uncommitted members.
Supporters of Boggs and Sisk
figure Udall and O'Hara are
running as a team to hold the
broadest possible group of lib-
erals and moderates together
and put either Sisk or Boggs out
of the running.
Udall and O'Hara deny any
such strategy but they do have
an overlapping constituency and
one stands to benefit greatly
when the other drops out.
A key factor in the outcome
will be the way the 33 newly
elected Democrats vote.
All the candidates have been
markedly solicitous of the new-
comers. Most of the freshmen
received campaign money from
the Democratic Study Group, a
liberal-oriented House organiza-
tion that will be happy if either
Udall or O'Hara wins.
They received congratulatory
telegrams and welcoming letters
from Boggs, and have been
wined and dined by the candi-
dates and their supporters.
Another unknown factor is the
position of Albert. Although un-
opposed for speaker at this
point, the Oklahoma congress-
man is taking nothing for
granted and has remained scru-
pulously impartial.
But the choice of a majority
leader could have a crucial ef-
fect on Albert's speakership, and
it is not out of the question that
at some point before the choice
is made he will indicate a pref-
erence.

A shaver that shaves as close or closer than
the new platinum and chromium blades.
99 men tested our Norelco Tripleheader
35T against these new blades. Each shaved
one side of his face with a blade and the
other with the Tripleheader. Our three float-
ing heads followed the curves of their faces.
And our eighteen rotary blades shaved in
every direction at once (that's the way
beards grow).
Blades can't do all this. They're straight.
And that's why seven out of ten men said
the Tripleheader shaved them as close or
closer than the new blades.
What's more, the Tripleheader has a

Rechargeable can
shave with or
