Mow 'very close to the 1240 elevation level" 1 mm OF By VINCENT P. CAROCCI HARRISBURG UP The November gubernatorial election is a brand new ball game for both parties in sight of Milton Shapp's upset victory' in the Democratic primary last Tuesday.

For the Democrats the next few weeks figure to be a period 01 retentive uncertainty until the relationship between the Shapp forces and the regular organization leadership is ironed out. I For the Republicans, Shapp's victory over organization endorsed Robert P. Casey means a certain revision in strategy. For one thing, the favorite GOP cry. of a bos dominated Democratic party is out, now that Shapp has beaten the bosses at their own game, The immediate task confronting the Democrats is to mend their own fences with a minimum of bloodletting, if possible.

It epppears that Shapp's first step will be an attempt to reshape the image of the party. i Immediately after his nomination, he culled for the resignation of party Chairman John S. Rice because of his ties with the recognized leaders of the organization, former Gov. David L. Lawrence and Philadelphia City Chairman Francis R.

Smith. Meanwhile, two Democratic lead. ers U.S. Sen. Joseph S.

Clark and Philadelphia Mayor James H. J. Tate used Shapp's victory to take verbal pot shots at the party organization. "The Democratic organization all over the state is in pretty bad shape," Clark said. Clark had backed Casey for the nomination.

The senator, who said he would actively support Shapp, said the nor ri reorganization 4 the whole party structure" in the Smith Blasted Clark blamed much of the party's problems on City Chairman Francis R. Smith, whom he called "irresponsiblenot directly responsible to the people." "When you have an irresponsible county chairman fighting; with the mayor end exerting an influence on the city council you're heading for trouble," the two term, senator said. Clark also was a former mayor of Philadelphia. The current mayor was even stronger in "his comments toward Smith. "I can think of five or six people who could do a better job than Smith," Tate told a news conference.

He declined to nnroe th people, but said he was not interested in the job. The usual overtures for parly harmony icun be expected as both factions attempt to reach a common middle ground; if for nothing else than to assume at least a public posture of unity. Whether this would be more man superncuu oi uudi icj question. Blatt Scott Example Immediately after Genevieve Blatt defeated organization endorsed state Supreme Court Justice Michael A. Musmanno for the U.S.

sen otntVni nomination two years ago, the party chieftains met and publicly proclaimed their unity and harmony and togetherness. But, on Election Day Miss Blatt lost to U.S. Sen. Hugh Scott, the Republican incumbent, by votes. When one the fact that President Johnson carried the state by 1.45 million votes, the largest majority ever afforded a presidential candidate in this commonwealth, it is difficult to believe that Miss Blatt had the party support the leaders proclaimed.

Another area, and probably more important to Republican planning, is the financial resources at Shapp's command.
