Daniel Urges
Shivers 10 Call
Special Election
By GOULD LINCOLN

Senator Price Daniel, gov.
ernor-elect of Texas, yesterday
issued a statement virtually
calling on Gov. Allan Shivers tc
set up a special election to fl
the Senate seat Senator Daniel is
Irelinquishing before the opening
of the new Congress January 8
The Daniel statement said the
Senator expected his successor
in the Senate to be chosen at a
special election before January
3. the opening date of the new
Congress"
At the same time, Senator
Daniel announced that if no such
election is held prior to the
opening of Congress, he him
self would be in the Senate to
vote on the organization Of the
Senate. He does not take office
as governor until January IS
His resignation, already in the
hands of Governor Shivers, is
effective on that date or on such
earlier date as his successor is
elected.
Senate Control Involved
Much interest has conferred in
the Texas Senate seat. The elec-
ton of a Republican to fill it
considered unlikely but possible
would change the party make
up of the Senate from 40 Demo-
Gratis and AZ Republicans to 48
Republicans and 48 Democrats.
In such situation, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon would be called on
to break a tie vote on Senate
Organization, thereby giving con-
troll to the Republicans. This
could happen whether the Demo-
Gratis Organize" the Senate on
the opening day of Congress or
not.
If the special election is post
poned and all the Democrats and
all the Republicans are on hand,
including Senator Daniel. the
Democrats, by 40 to Al vote, will
be able to elect a president
pro tempore of the Senate and
all chairmen Of the standing
committees. Senator-elect Frank
j. LauSche of Ohio, Democrat,
has said he expects to finish his
term as governor, which ends
January IA. He earlier COM
mented that if elected to the
Senate he might vote with the
Republicans on Senate organiza-
ton if President Eisenhower
should be reelected. Without his
vote, the Democrats would have
48 Senate votes to AZ for the Re-
publicans. If Mr.. Lausche voted
with the Republicans. there
would be as to 48 tie, and the
Vice President would turn the
Senate elections into q Re-
publican victory.
One Republican Senator ELECT,
Jacob K. Javits of New York,
attorney general of his State,
may not be present when the

Gov. Lausche called the Ohio
legislature into special session
for last Friday to act on his
proposals for outlawing utility
strikes and requiring arbitration
of grievances. During the last
campaign most organized labor
leaders in Ohio supported Sen
ator George Bender, Gov
Lausche's Republican opponent
Popular in Ohio
Despite his tangles with labor
and farm groups, especially
when he commended President
EiSenhower's veto of the farm
bill last spring. Gov. Lausche
has long enjoyed a personal and
political popularity in Ohio that
will make him a power to con-
tend with in the Senate.
Mr.. Javits. as successor to
Democratic Senator Herbert
Lehman, has established an
equally firm reputation as q
liberal. He, no less than Mr.
Lausche, is certain to be courted
by both sides in the Senate.

Education Week

In q special proclamation.
President Eisenhower urged
"the fullest possible participa-
ton In the observance" Of Edu-
cation Week, starting today, by
all Americans.
This week Of dedication to
education and to the efforts and
achievements Of teachers, school
and college administrators. and
others in this important area Of
public service is especially sig
nificant during this first year Of
appraisal, in terms Of local COM
munity needs and required &C
ton, Of the recommendations
made by the White House Con-
ference on Education" the Pres
ident wrote.

good schools TO keep America
strong"
A century Of advancement in
teaching win be marked by
American Education Week. Spe-
cial programs will be held and
members Of Congress and other
influential citizens will be
urged TO visit classrooms TO see
achievements and needs Of local
schools.
Education Week is being
sponsored by the National Edu-

Congress Of Parents and Teach
ers. the American Legion and
the United States once Of Edu-

annual observance.

citation anticipates more than
20 million persons will particle

session opens January 3. He
wishes, 1t Is said. to hold on to
the Office of attorney general
until the New York legislature
meets January 9 so that body
can name his successor-instead
of Democratic Governor Harri-
man.
Resignation Is Timed
Senator Daniel filed his resig-
nation, so far not accepted by
Gov. Shivers. on September 81,
under the Texas election code
which authorizes a written res
Iignation effective at a future
date" and directs that an "elec-
Ition shall be ordered Immediately
after acceptance of the resigna-
ton" It provides that an cleo
ton shall be held mot less than
20 days or more than 80 days
after the first public notice"
The Texas Senator timed his
resignation so as to provide for
an election to fill his seat and to
prevent an appointment. If it
had not been so dated, Gov.
Shivers could have continued to
delay the election so as to APP
point a temporary successor
when Congress meets January 3.
Senator Daniel is strongly cp-
posed TO appointment of a sue
ceSsor either by himself or Gov.
Shivers.
ShiverS' Announcement Due
Gov. Shivers. it is reported,
will return to his Office this
week. and is expected to make
an announcement then regarding
the Senate seat. In some quar-
tiers it has been argued that he
cannot call special election
until the vacancy actually &C.
ours. If Gov. Shivers takes no
action, Senator Daniel plans to
make the calling of a special
election one of his first acts
when he takes over as Governor
January Is. He declined to say
whether he would make an in
term appointment to the Sen
ate. If he should do so, it was
believed he would pick a man
who was not a candidate in the
special election.
The only chance the Repub-
licans have to win this seat lies
in the fact that in Texas an
election to fill a vacancy is held
without primary nomination
and is decided by a plurality. II
enough Democratic candidates
divide the vote, a Republican
might top them all, and so win.
Already Representative Martin
Dies. Democrat. has announced

They are Ralph w. Yarbor-

of Austin, former justice of the
State Supreme Court, and State
Senator Searcy Bracewell.
The Republicans have unani-
mously chosen Thad Hutchinson,
a young and popular Houston
attorney, to make the Senate
race.
1t is expected that efforts will
be made to have the Democrats

fractional differences and per-
sonal ambitions. however, may
interfere with such an arrange
ment.

fiye-tern Governor Of Ohio and
the New York State attorney
general, who served three terms
In the House, have kicked over
the partisan traces too frequently
for the comfort Of their party
chiefs.
Neither seems likely to be
tested on that point when the
Senate organizes in January. Mr..
JAvits intends to remain in his
State job until January 0, when
q Republican Legislature rather
than Democratic Gov. Averell
Hartman could choose q success
sor. Gov. Lausche announced he
will stay In Columbus until his
term expires January IA and Re-
publican Governor ELECT c. Will
liam O'Neill is sworn In.
May Offset Votes
But with the next Senate's
lineup currently standing at 40
Democrats and ~ Republicans.
there already is speculation at
the Capitol whether the new
Senators from New York and
Ohio will tend to Offset each
other in voting on many pro-
grams and issues.
House Democrats in the 80th,
01st and SD Congresses, usually
could count on support from
Mr.. Javits on bills dealing with
labor, foreign aid OUTLAWS, taxes
and social security, farm price
supports, and civil rights. His
occasional votes for Democratic
measures or moves were all the
more important from the Dem
ocratic point Of view in the
s0th and SD Congresses which
had Republican majorities.
No Political Maverick
The So year old Senator
elect Javits nevertheless has
been no political maverick. His
strength and support within the
Republican party in New York
was demonstrated when he was
the only G. o. P. candidate toI
win q State Office in the 1854
election. He overcame unusu-
ally difficult obstacles to obtain
the Republican nomination for
Senator this year and then to
60 on to an impressive victory
over New York Mayor Robert
Wagner last Tuesday.
As compared with the 61-
year-old conservative Demo-
cratic Senator-elect Lausche,
however, he has been consider
ably left of center. But, in
common with the Ohioan, he
has shown unquestioned indie
pendence of party leaders and
organizations.
To q greater extent than Gov.
Lausche did with the Demo-
Gratis during the recent cam
paign, Mr.. Javits hewed fairly
close in recent months to his
party organizations wishes and
Eisenhower administration pro-
grams. In fact, he lost the in
dorsement Of the Americans for
Democratic Action which had
backed him consistently as q
candidate for Congress.
Remembered by Democrats
Gov. Lausche is well remem-
bered by Democratic leaders for
his many friendly gestures
toward President Eisenhower
during the last four years. His
most notable break with his
party was in 1850 when he in
dorsed the late Senator Robert
A. Taft for reelection in Ohio.
During the recent campaign
he did not exert himself to the
extent that Michael v. Di Sale,
Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor Of Ohio, did in being seen
with and speaking with other
Democratic candidates. Senator
Estes Kefauver. Democratic vice
presidential nominee. vigorously
stumped Ohio on six different
occasions, but saw Gov. LauSche
briefly only once.
