Three-Pronged Effort. COPE's first major commitment was made this month in California. Of 113 candidates whom it endorsed for state and nation al office, all but seven were Democrats.

He chafes because congressional committees have a "thousand questions" for military commanders but have yet to call in Freeman or Gardner. In all fairness, reasons Humphrey, Congress should accord equal time to the field marshals of the other war. "Let's learn something," he says...
