"Dizzy with visions of labor votes," he said, "the administration interfered with due processes of arbitration," Gov. Michael V. DiSalle of Ohio, a Democrat, said that he had "some doubts" about the part played by Nixon in the agreement and a that Mitchell "at the llth hour played politics."

Observers notec that no longer does the 42-year old senator have one of his olc trademarks a shock of hair jutting over his forehead with somewhat wild mop fluttering on top. Kennedy's shock of hair is gone It's now combed back and looks somewhat thinner. Insiders said that the decision to change the Kennedy hair-do was to give the senator a more mature, older appearance. The decision was not made at a rapid clip. Some sources said it was a top policy decision by Kennedy's political generals at a "summit" conference.

The change in appearance is noticeable to nearly all who saw Kennedy "before" and "after." But Kennedy's aides refused to admit there has been a change.
