The White House brought its prestige and power to bear in Indiana's 4th District, but the Democrats wielded local issues to break the GOP's 13-year lock on the seat once held by Vice President Dan Quayle. Democrat Jill Long, a business professor, used two local tax issues with telling success in her 'successful race against GOP opponent Dan Heath, a former city official. "All politics are local politics," said Brad Senden, a consultant to the Long campaign, echoing the classic adage. Heath was safety director under Fort Wayne Mayor Paul Helmke, who engineered passage of a city income tax and sought annexation of a Republican-dominated county township, a move that would mean higher property tax rates.

LONG USED both issues in her advertising, claiming the administration's tactics belied Heath's campaign promise not to support tax increases. In his concession speech, Heath conceded the attacks hurt his candidacy. "There are times when one must be sacrificed on the altar of good government, whether it be tax or annexation," he said. The White House backed Heath solidly, sending Quayle and Barbara Bush to campaign in the district, and President Bush made a campaign television commercial. BUT LONG SAID her victory was not a rebuff for the national Republican Party.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans claimed any important national trend in Tuesday's returns from Indiana," in which Long defeated Republican Dan Heath. But Republican Party Chairman Lee Atwater said he was "ashamed" at the loss of the seat that had been a safe one for the GOP and conceded Atwater is ashamed of the outcome of the Indiana race, he would be "apoplectic" if the Democrats followed up with wins in Alabama and Wyoming. In strict numerical terms, the outcome of the three races will make scant difference in the House, where the Democratic majority will stand at 259-174 when Long is sworn in next week. "Obviously, we regret the loss," said White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater. He said that the race "reflected a lot of local issues.

But I don't think we would read much more into it." the race looked "very tough" next week in a heavily Democratic region of Alabama. Other Republicans insisted their candidate was pn underdog in the Wyoming race, even though the seat has been in GOP hands for a decade, Atwater said, have no excuses. We should have won that race. I am very surprised we lost it," adding "we didn't have the best candidate. We didn't run the best campaign and on some issues, we got snookered." Democratic spokesman Mike McCurry said his side holds the upper hand going into the final week of the Alabama campaign.

Many politicians might dread an up-and-down career. Democrat Jill Long has reason to relish one. In two election campaigns, she had known only the down side of politicking, losing by landslide margins. But in Indiana's 4th District, the political career of the 36-year-old business professor has taken its first upturn. Long overcame campaign visits by Vice President Dan Quayle and Barbara Bush to defeat GOP candidate Dan Heath Tuesday and capture Quayle's old House seat.

Just five months ago, she was buried by a margin amassed by Rep. Dan Coats, her second landslide defeat in as many attempts. WHILE QUAYLE'S 60-10 victory over Long in the 1986 Senate race sent her back to her parents' farm, his triumph Nov. 8 ironically reopened the door on Long's political career. Realizing Coats was a possible replacement for Quayle's soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat, Long kept her campaign organization together.

She began making the contacts that gained national Democratic support for her ultimately successful run after Coats accepted the appointment. Only Quayle's career sounds as improbable. In 1976, Quayle was 28 when he challenged five-term Democratic incumbent J. Edward Roush for the 4th District seat. Republicans held out little hope, but Quayle surprised his own supporters and defeated Roush.

FOUR YEARS later, Quayle took on three-term senator Birch Bayh, a folksy and popular politician who had flirted with a presidential run. Again Quayle was given little chance, and again he surprised political experts when Bayh was swept away in the tide of Ronald Reagan. When Quayle phoned his congratulations Wednesday to Long, he reminded her that his unblemished winning record was the exception to most political careers. Long's political career began six years ago on the Valparaiso city council. In 1981, she had accepted a teaching post at Valparaiso University, a Lutheran liberal arts college in Porter County, after completing a doctorate in business from Indiana University.

Few politicians, she decided, knew much about business and finance. "I decided at the time, with my background, I would probably do very well." FROM THE obscurity of a council seat in a city of 22,000, Long suddenly launched herself into a U.S. Senate race. When Democratic frontrunner Louis Mahern, a state senator from Indianapolis, suffered a heart attack and dropped out, Long entered a party caucus battle and emerged the winner. She handily defeated an extremist opponent in the primary election, but her race failed to win support even from state labor organizations.

The fall campaign moved haltingly on a shoestring budget, and Long pronounced herself pleased the margin of defeat wasn't wider. With her parents in financial difficulty on their Whitley County farm in the 4th District Long moved back to help them sort out the trouble. She resumed teaching at IUPUI Fort Wayne.

out sne told producer Allan Carr on Wednesday morning she would be unable to attend. The actress was walking through the gardens of the hotel she owns in Carmel, when she cut her leg on a sprinkler. By Walter R. Wears Associated Press WASHINGTON The good news, according to the million-dollar campaign manager, is that Republicans are at rock-bottom strength with the 174 House seats the party now holds. In the era of nearly invincible incumbents, that also is their bad news.

While that means Republican strength probably will not go much lower, it also means the odds are prohibitive against any swift comeback from 34 years without a House majority. Ed Kollins, who was a White House political adviser to Ronald Reagan and managed his landslide re-election campaign in 1984, is the man assigned to find the way back. It involves the political equivalent of heavy lifting, but it pays well $250,000 a year, probably over the next four years. That price tag was not popular, stirring resentment among some of its presumed beneficiaries, since House members are earning $89,500 and did not dare to vote themselves Northeast and parts of the Midwest, most of them to the southern and southwestern states that have become Republican territory. BUT THERE will be redistricting to reflect population shifts even in states that do not lose or gain seats.

Rollins says Republicans will have the tchnical and legal know-how, and the political message to take advantage of the changes. There's no way to guess the outcome, but the last time a reapportioned House was elected along with a president, in 1972, Republicans won nearly two-thirds of the open seats. Rollins talks of emerging from the next two elections with net GOP gains of 30 seats, saying that would put a re-elected President Bush within range of a House majority for administration programs during a second term. If Rollins can deliver that kind of progress, he'll not only earn his money, he probably should put in for a bonus. Tuesday when the Republicans lost the Indiana House seat once held by ice President Dan Quayle.

Democrat Jill Long took over a seat that had been Republican since 1976. THAT OVERALL margin nrnK. ably insulates the Republicans against significant House losses in 1990. The party holding the White House usually has suffered House setbacks in mid-term elections, because the president's party normally gained swing seats on his coattails in the previous election. But President Bush had no such coattails the GOP lost three House seats in 1988.

So there is no realignment pending in 1990, in either direction. But the sheer size of the Democratic margin and the better than 9 out of 10 likelihood that an incumbent will be re-elected confront Rollins and the Republicans with a mountain to be scaled on the way to anything approaching House control. Rollins already has started Republican groundwork for the reapportionment that will follow the 1990 Census, which is expected to shift 18 House seats out of the a raise wis year. ROLLINS IS THE new co-chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the party's House campaign organization. He says his goal is to make Republicans competitive for the 218 seats that make up a House majority, which they have not had since the 1954 elections.

According to Rollins, that would put the GOP in position to reclaim the majority in the mid-1990s. They start at what Rollins calls a low point, 174 out of 435 seats. That is down from 192 after Ronald Reagan's election in 1980. Rollins figures there are 160 safe GOP seats, in districts so securely Republican that they'd stay that way even if the national campaign organization shut down and did nothing to help.
