Not a question of his ability to stand the attrition of office! Not a shred of apprehension concerning his fitness for the give and take of national politics! As for Ross Bass if he seemed to have little to recommend him in 1964 he has even less in 1966 His record is a shambles of errors compounded and opportunities dissipated He has walked out of step with the people he is supposed to represent and has found common ground with companions and causes that have appalled and alienated friend and foe alike In becoming the chief mouthpiece for destruc-tion of state right-to-work laws Bass has deserted the people and taken up residence on the left bank' of the special interests And in fawning on the ultra-liberal legions of way-outville he has offended both the spirits and the stomachs of a vast army of voters including many who helped put him where he is Moreover with the approach of the season of reckoning the poise has deserted and with it his sense of humor Even his closest allies were shaken by his tantrum and walkout this spring at the rally of Democratic women in Washington and his public pouting a little later when he was not invited to sit on the platform during the groundbreaking for a home-state dam The impression grows that the Senator is in jjver his depth He should be extricated from the troubled waters and brought back home to reflect and recover That would be the charitable thing to do August 4th is the time to do it "Jk X': Speaks for administration St 1 r-C4 McNamara defines raids i as a counter movement A sV (Staff
