...Scott's biggest problems is the parlous state of relations between Republican Senators and "downtown," an often pejorative Capitol Hill term for the executive branch. John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky has been getting no answers to his letters to Postmaster General Winton Blount; when Blount invited Cooper to his office recently to talk over a Post Office problem, Cooper refused to come. Colorado's Peter Dominick is still seething over a contretemps with a second-echelon Treasury Department official, and even Karl Mundt of South Dakota-a staunch Nixon loyalist-complains of the "remoteness" of Administration staffers...

Still, even here, support for the Moratorium seemed to be shaping up with more force than there had been any reason to expect. Gordon Sherman, head of Midas-International (auto parts and mobile homes) and chairman of Chicago's chapter of the Business Executives Move for Viet Nam Peace, encouraged employees to take part in M-day; his group planned a silent hour-long vigil of executives, heads bowed, at Chicago's civic center.
