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 pop-out trimmer. So you can get your side- burns straight and even for a A rechargeable that gives up to twice as many shaves *per charge as any other re- chargeable. Our Rechargeable Tripleheader 45CT has all the features of our regular Tripleheader. It has three Microgroove TM floating heads. And eighteen rotary. blades that continu- ously sharpen themselves to cut down on bothersome blade replacement. And a hid- den pop-up trimmer for neat sideburns and mustaches. It also has some special features all its own. A Shave Counter that automatically counts your shaves and tells you when to recharge. A Charge Indicator that lights up when it's recharging. And, of course, the Rechargeable can shave with or without a cord. 0 I .. ..__. t.4. nr . t ..
