The outcome of this primary fight in the new third district may depend on whether the doves do each other more damage than they can inflict on Philbin.

The three-pronged movement on the incumbent's position is: State Rep. Joseph G.

Senate in 1966, losing to former Gov. Endicott Peabody. Joseph G. Dever of Newton, Bosun newspaperman and author of a widely read biography of Richard Cardinal Cushing, is also an outspoken opponent of the war. Some analysts, with varying degrees of cynicism, suggest that Dever, an illustrious name in Massachusetts Democratic politics may actually damage Philbin nwre than the other two challengers, particularly among older voters who might ordinarily vote for the congressman.

NEW SITUATION The congressional redisricting voted in the last session of the Legislature took from Philbin a number of south-central Massachusetts communities in which, despite their Republican flavor, he had been considered unbeatable.

He proposes giving every college student whose parents earn less than $15,000 a year an annual Federal grant of $600. He has appealed to the heavily Jewish vote in Newton by advocating an "out-and-out" pledge to defend the integrity and, lives of the encircled Israeli nation if that land is placed in grave jeopardy." Against the field, Philbin is relying on his experience, his old friends and the organization he has built up over the years since he went to Washington. This year's primary is the first since 1950 in which he has had opposition. PHILBIN'S RECORD He voted with the majority of the Massachusetts delegation at the Chicago convention for the minority "peace" plank on Vietnam, and his office quotes him as saying last March: "There is no way we could possibly intensify our efforts to secure peace in Vietnam that would be too great.

Unhappily, every move we make in this direction is checkmated and rejected." SERVICE FOR 8 of Concord, Lincoln, Weston and Watertown. An analysis of the total vote cast in the 1966 Democratic primary indicates that the new communities in the district represent 56 percent with Philbin's more familiar communities to the north and west castig 44 percent. This in itself would be sufficient change to draw challengers into the contest. But this year, in this district, the war is the issue that cuts across loyalties and factional lines to blanket all others. 00' 1 80 to 120 HEATHER delicate white with green accents; platintyn trim.

It may still turn out that way.

But the congressman's opponents have attempted to turn this position against him in as much as it identifies him as part of what they term the "military-industrial complex" which is said to have blundered the country into escalation in Vietnam. For imagination and energy, it would be hard to top the campaign being waged by Adams, an aristocratic historian and former Sheraton Corp, executive whose enthusiasm for the excitement of campaigning appears to be inversely proportional to the election results. (In 1966, he polled 51,435 votes to 320,967 for Pea-body.) Adams has half a dozen trailer trucks moving around the district and a bevy of pretty girls in "Adams dresses" with the letter prominently inscribed on them. The girls give out a chatty little pamphlet which contains "four positive steps toward ending the war" as well as recipes for such delicacies as "baked Adams His appraisal of his record includes introduction of the Cape Cod National Seashore legislation, a strong pro-Israel position in the Congress, help in bringing Federal relief to his district after the hurricane floods of 1955, and help in bringing contracts to the Boston Naval Shipyard, Watertown Arsenal and other defense related corporations and agencies in this state. The winner of the contest will take on either Malcom E.

Peabody, brother of the former governor, who stands to inherit much of the "peace" vote if Philbin prevails on Tuesday, or former Congressman Laurence Curtis, redistricted out of office when the state was cut from 14 to 12 congressmen several years ago. Also in the fight Nov. 5 will be State Rep. Chandler H. Stevens of Bedford running as an independent.

In the background is the makeup of the state's congressional delegation, now weighted 7-5 to the Democrats. Should the presidential contest be thrown into the House, all other things being equal, a Republican victory would neutralize Massachusetts. A Stevens victory would place the young computer expert from Bedford in a position to either neutralize the state or swing it to the Democrats in a presidential CRESTMONT delicate scrolling of gray with platinum trim, coupe shape. 45 pc. 92 pu HYDE PARK old world gold color design on soft green.
