TWELVE 1RONWOOD DAILY IRONWOOD, MICHIGAN. MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1961. The National Whirligig (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate By J. F. terHORST WASHINGTON--Some very curious traits mark the eight Democratic congressmen who, under the law of the political jungle, form the manpower pool from which will' come the next House Speaker and probably the next Democratic floor leader.

The traits are important because of what they signify about the men and their political philosophy. Important, too, because the Speaker is third in line inr the Presidency and, in terms of power, is second only to the President. Whfle the dying Speaker Rayburn seems almost certain to be replaced by Democratic Leader John W. McCormack seniority and position if not by general enthusiasm--the other seven are not discarded. One of them seems destined to take McCormack's place on the floor.

ft -ft EIGHT IN RtJNNING--So con- sijer the eight who rank as the cream of the crop of the 260 House Democrats and who wield major influence on the shape of legislation for the country: Five rank as Southerners--Carl Albert Hale Boggs Carl Elliott and Albert Rains and Wilbur Mills All signed the Southern Manifesto in 1956, protesting the 1954 Supreme Court decision banning segregation. McCormack and Francis E. Walter chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee, are Northerners. Richard the only one with, solid liberal backing, is a protege of Rayburn. A -ft NEED FEDERALISTS The listing above is only by way of description.

The traits that seem significant have to do with their 1960 voting record in Congress-those moments of truth when lawmakers disengaged from the political tug-of-war and put their votes where their mouths are. And thus some highly interesting facts' the record about the select eight. All of them have consistently supported measures which" in-1 crease the role of the government. On key roll calls on "big government" issues in 1961, according to Congressional Quarterly, McCormack, Boiling, Elliott, Rains and Albert have 100 per cent support records. Walter gave 80 per cent support; Boggs and Mills each had 70 per cent.

Another interesting index is the percentage of times these eight Democratic leaders opposed or supported the conservative coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats. Boiling led the opposition with a 97 per cent score; McCormaek bucked the conservatives 77 per cent of the time; Albert 60 peri 8283 SIMPLY MARVELOUS--Here's a handsome afternoon frock for the woman who wears half sizes that is so flattering, sew-simple.

DIVERGENT POSITIONS--The five southerners in the leadership clique racked up curious record: on roll calls deemed crucial the 100-plus bloc of- Southerners ir the House.

Any one of the plays would give South his contract. How different if East had passed. West would have openec either a diamond or a heart. Ai and opposed it 15 times'. Obviously, these scores are no he basis: which, the Democrats wfll choose their speaker, or their new floor leader if McCormack moves up.
