...Making him the sixth Republican to decline to run for Senate reelection. The others: Vermont's Ralph Flanders, California's William Fife Knowland, Pennsylvania's Edward Martin, New Jersey's H. Alexander Smith and Indiana's William E. Jenner...

Johnson's evaluation of people is paramount to his Senate leadership.

Jenner's curt and unexpected announcement, stating no reason for his decision, shocked Indiana Republicans, who had considered him a good bet to win in 1958 no matter whom the Democrats nominated. Groping for an explanation of Jenner's decision, Republican State Chairman Robert Matthews said the Senator was "just tired of carrying on the fight for conservatism by himself." But some observers of Indiana...
