...other bitterly fought battles, both parties have placed a premium on military-hero types. Michigan Republican Charles Ernest ("Chuck") Chamberlain, 39, skippered a subchaser in the Atlantic during World War II, is favored over scholarly Democratic Incumbent Don Hayworth, 58, in the state's Sixth District. Running for the seat vacated in Michigan's Seventh District by Republican Veteran Jesse Wolcott, retiring at 63, is is G.O.P. Candidate Robert J.

...most attractive new faces of 1956 belong to the ladies. In Florida's Sixth District, Mrs. Dorothy Smith, 39, is a 98-lb. dynamo in her race against Democratic Incumbent Paul Rogers, 35. She is conducting a Kefauver-type handshaking campaign, but says: "I hope I don't mumble like Kefauver." In Idaho's First District, Republican Louise Shadduck, 39, is just beginning to make progress against 50-year-old Incumbent Democrat Grade Pfost (pronounced, as in her 1952 campaign slogan, "Tie Your Vote to a Solid Post").

Wayne Morse has strong financial support from COPE, the political arm of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., and labor, as rarely before, is organizing the precincts on Morse's behalf. Moreover, Democrat Morse has a break on the issues: 1) because of the nationwide slowdown in home building, Oregon's billion-dollar lumber business has slacked off; 2) because of lower farm prices, Eastern Oregon's big-business wheat farmers are pouting; and 3) even though private enterprise already is hard at work on a power...

"He has the manners of the Munich Tal," says Free Democrat Leader Thomas Dehler (the Tal is Munich's slum district). But inside Franz Josef Strauss's square head is a fast-thinking brain gifted with a photographic memory. His bachelor apartment near Bonn, his office and his automobile are jampacked with books, which he reads voraciously and from which he can often...
