Scratch & Claw. The Senate, with 64 Democrats and 36 Republicans, is likely to go along with the President on most issues, just as it did in 1961. The House is a different matter. There, though Demo crats ostensibly outnumber Republicans 263 to 174, power is actually divided be tween a conservative coalition of about 180 Republicans and Southern Democrats and about 180 members who can be expected to go along with most Administration proposals.

There his host was conservative Demo cratic Senator Harry Byrd, who has stubbornly refused to endorse his party's ticket, and all but urged his supporters to vote for Nixon and Lodge. With Byrd by his side, the President looked in on the drab little home at Mount Sidney where his mother was born, attended the annual luncheon of the Woodrow Wilson Birth place Foundation in nearby Staunton.
