...with man's efforts to organize a just and honorable society through political action." That, back in 1956, was the Rev. Merwin Coad's way of announcing his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives. He won, and off he went to Washington-where, last week, Democrat Coad, 36, was up to his eyeglasses in trouble...
Last year President Eisenhower, worried about the growing backlog of cases in U.S. courts, urged the creation of 40 new judgeships, even offered to split them evenly between Republicans and Democrats. But the Democratic Congress, gambling that there would be a Democrat in the White House this year, ignored Ike's request, waited until last May to provide for the new judgeships, then baked itself the tastiest patronage pie in a long while by creating 73. Last week, in what was certain to become one of the running political fights of the year, the victors were quarreling over...
...Goldwater brand of politics proved surprisingly popular, especially back home. Running for re-election in 1958 against Democrat McFarland, Goldwater breezed in by a comfortable 35,000 votes and, in a generally disastrous Republican year, returned to Washington as the fair-haired boy of U.S. conservatism.

Blueblooded Watchdog. Strangely, the man who exposed the scandals was a fellow Democrat, a onetime protege of Dilworth's and an official in his administration. Like the mayor, City Controller Alexander Hemphill, 40, is a well-heeled blueblood with an Ivy League background (University of Pennsylvania '43). The father of seven, he is the godfather of a Dilworth grandchild, and a fancier of Utrillo and Rouault prints. He also takes his watchdog job as city controller seriously -so seriously that when he decided to run for election in 1957, Dilworth tried to persuade him to withdraw. Says Hemphill...
...major policy turnabout, the Civil Aeronautics Board last week went out in search of a merger partner for ailing Northeast Airlines. Historically, CAB has been hostile to airline mergers. But under its new chairman, Democrat Alan S. Boyd, 38, the board has decided that mergers are "one of several highways out of the airlines' current problems." For Northeast, which lost $8,000,000 last year, merger is probably the only...
