CONNECTICUT: The bizarre career of incumbent Sen. Thomas J. Dood appears to be at an end. Running as an independent, Dodd is given little chance of winning. His only impact on the election will be to cut into the votes of the Democratic candidate, Rev. Joseph D. Duffey. Dodd, who has a liberal record on domestic matters but a mysteriously conservative stance on foreign policy, will benefit from his religion. He is a Roman Catholic in a heavily Catholic state.

Senator Thomas Dodd's Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency prepared to summon commission members for some sharp questioning about the panel's mandate.

"I am not running as a clergyman," he says. "I am running as a citizen, a Democrat and a father...
Carping at the more egregious ethical lapses on Capitol Hill is a popular American sport. It is in season all the time, and offers bounties to political scientists and editorial writers whenever a plump target like Bobby Baker, Senator Thomas Dodd or Representative Adam Clayton Powell pops up. The sport is perfectly legitimate, especially because Congressmen are often hasty to impose tougher conflict-of-interest standards on others than on their own erring colleagues. But serious, searching analysis of the subject is uncommon. Last week the Association of the Bar of the City of New York produced exactly that...
