...Congressman and a former G.O.P. National Committee chairman (1948-49) with a gift for the quick quip, Scott was elected to the Senate in 1958 with an impressive upset victory over then Governor George Leader. This year his Democratic opposition is much less formidable: Scott is running against Genevieve Blatt, a 51 -year-old spinster whose trademark is an assortment of high-crowned, beflowered hats. Miss Blatt won by a mere 491 votes, out of more than 1,000,000 cast, in an April primary that left Pennsylvania's Democratic Party bitterly divided. Her nomination is still being contested...

A onetime protegee of former Governor David Lawrence, she is now the darling of the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh A.D.A. chapters, enjoyed solid support from liberal Democratic Senator Joe Clark...
Furious, Gen Blatt accused the party's bosses of meeting in a "smoke-filled hotel room" to ditch her, refused to bow out. To complicate matters, Roberts, 66, who holds the post of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) Prothonotary,*also jumped into the race. A baggy-pants type who never got past grade school, Roberts scoffed at his opponents' education (Musmanno claims seven college degrees, Blatt three), spoke scornfully if confusedly of "high-kaflutin' " politicians...
