...Jersey's populous Sixth District (Union County), handsome, bustling Assemblywoman Florence Dwyer, fiftyish, took away from personable, 36-year-old Democrat Harrison Williams Jr. the seat he has held since 1953. Even more startling were the results in traditionally Democratic Hudson County, whose two House seats the Democrats had considered money in the bank. In the 14th District, bumptious Democrat T. (for Thomas) James Tumulty, whose boast it was that he carried more weight (330 Ibs.) than any man in Congress, ran well behind 49-year-old Auditor Vincent J. null In the 13th District, 45-year-old Major...
...losers rather than gainers from the new voting patterns. "The old man of the Ozarks," 58-year-old Dewey Short, seemed likely to be the most resounding Republican casualty of all. In his attempt to win a 13th term in the House, he was trailing 36-year-old Charles Harrison Brown, a polio victim who campaigned with a hillbilly quartet. In the Far West, the gains were made by the Democrats. Montana's 38-year-old Republican Congressman Orvin B. Fjare lost the Second District to State Senator LeRoy Anderson in a campaign that centered around Fjare...

Gwen Verdon gyrates through "Damn Yankees" on the stage of the 46th Street Theatre, and Frederic March and Florence Eldridge star in Eugene O'Neill's posthumous "Long Day's Journey into Night" at the Helen Hayes.

Also there was Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington (he quickly changed the subject to the need for greater national defense). Public backing for Stevenson came from ten Caltech scientists (including Speech Adviser Harrison Brown). They were promptly rebuked by Caltech President Lee DuBridge for their "partisan stand." Sixty-two scientists from the Atomic Energy Commission's Brookhaven Laboratory edged in with a notation that the dangers of Strontium 90 were "a valid subject for further discussion and study"-as indeed they...
...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"). In the populous Sixth District of New Jersey, Republican Assemblywoman Florence Dwyer is a real threat to hardworking, young (36) Democratic Representative Harrison ("Pete") Williams Jr. And in West Virginia, Republican Mary Elkins, 53, wife of onetime (1919-25) Senator Davis Elkins, has an advantage over most House candidates in her race against Democratic Incumbent Harley Staggers, 49. A Washington socialite with a West Virginia address, Mrs. Elkins has only to pick...
