Back in hot water with Republicans howling for his head, controversial Stew Udall called in the press, after first carefully stationing at his side venerable Poet Robert Frost, his luncheon guest, as a sort of mute character witness. Udall angrily denied that he had meant to bludgeon money from the oil and gasmen. He admitted that he was a good friend of Evans', an official of Asiatic Petroleum Co., an affiliate of the Royal Dutch Shell group. But, said Udall, all that he had done was to tell Evans casually that he hoped...
Even his kid brother was mad at Interior Secretary Stew Udall last week (see above). Running against Republican Mac C. Matheson, 43, for Stew's old Second District congressional seat, Democratic Lawyer Morris K. ("Mo") Udall, 38, found that his big brother was costing him votes.

...more conservative than his big brother (Mo opposes farm supports, has mild reservations about federal aid to education), he seems to be a wild-eyed New Frontiersman compared with Mac Matheson, a former radio announcer who is now part owner of some Muzak franchises and who lost to Stew Udall last year. Devoted to Goldwater, Matheson strongly opposes federal aid to education, minimum wage legislation and the welfare state. Says he: "People are being offered a mess of welfare pottage in exchange for their American birthright...
