More like a golf cup. than a political post, the House seat of Louisiana's 6th Congressional District was last week put up for competition for the third time in ten months. Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp, widow of the onetime incumbent, won the first leg in a Democratic primary (tantamount to election) railroaded through by the Huey Long machine (TIME. Dec. 18 et seq.).
