More to Come. The political cost could come high. Maintaining the nononsense, "quasi-judicial" approach he adopted during the first week of hearings, Mississippi Democrat John Stennis, the committee chairman, put searching questions to Dodd and showed little sympathy for his legalistic to-ings and fro-ings, which included an attempt to have Utah Republican Wallace Bennett, the committee's vice chairman, disqualified from further participation in the hearings on grounds that he had prejudged the case...
...York's Democratic chieftains made few headlines last May when they picked Arthur Klein as their candidate for Manhattan surrogate, a job rich in patronage and rife with possibilities of scandal (see THE LAW). In the course of ten years on the State Supreme Court, Democrat Klein, 61, had earned a sound judicial reputation, and as frequently happens in New York, Tammany Boss J.

In most Senate contests this year, a Democrat who supports Administration policy, perhaps with a few reservations, will be opposed by a Republican who takes either a similar or a harder line. In most cases, therefore, only those who favor escalation of the war will have an opportunity to make their views felt. A few Senate seats may change hands, but Democrats are likely to retain the 68 seats they have held for the past two years...
