HE PREDICTED that "the Republican party will retain the Sixth Congressional Dis-strict seat" and said he feels the continuing campaign by M. Robert Carr Chamberlain's unsuccessful opponent last fall has been hurt. "Whoever the Republican candidate is he will not have been a target (of Carr's) for two years," Busfield observed.

"Whatever he says about Chamberlain won't do him any good because he will not be running against Chamberlain." Chamberlain carried heavily Democratic Flint and Genesee County in races before they were eliminated from his district by redistricting in 1958.

"Chamberlain should have retired 16 years ago. as far as I'm concerned. Why doesn't he just quit?" "It means we'll finally get rid of another crooked politician," said Jeff Whiting.

The 1974 congressional race is going to have a lot of life to it. The race is wide open for any of a number of candidates." THE DRAIN commissioner speculated that East Lansing attorney Robert Carr, who lost in his bid to unseat Chamberlain last November, would not be the prime Democratic contender.

Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney Ray Scodeller said he was also "surprised. "I RESPECT the man as an individual and I think ne's done a fine job for the district.

He has been very accessible to the public and has helped many 'little people' with their problems," the prosecutor said.

"We were very disappointed to hear of Congressman Chamberlain's decision," said Jerry Rowe, executive director of the state GOP.
