Tripartite. In Milwaukee's normally Republican, heavily German Fifth District, isolationist ex-Congressman Lewis Thill was trounced by six-foot, ruddy Andrew Biemiller, 38, a man of three parties. Biemiller was first a campaign manager for Socialist Norman Thomas in 1932; then a Progressive floor leader in Wisconsin in 1541; a Democratic jobholder ($4,600 a year in WPB) until he ran for Congress...
