Hot Race Forecast
For Hub Council

A hectic campaign, similar
to that of two years ago, con-
fronts all nine members of
the Boston City Council as
they begin preliminary work
in preparation for the fall
election contest.
Two of them, Council Pres.
william j. Foley of South Bos-
ton and Councillor Gabriel F.
Piemonte of West Roxbury,
are faced with opponents who
could prove definite threats
to their political futures.
The other seven are certain
to encounter the opposition
of a number of well known
men including some members
of the Legislature.
Foley'S chief opponent will
be william P. Foley of South
End who last September enter
ed the political arena as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for sheriff of Suf-
folk County.
Similarity of names plus the
work of a citywide committee
supporting the South End
Foley, will probably plague the
Council President during the
campaign preceding the Sept
ember primaries. Should his
namesake be victorious in the
initial balloting he could be a
source OF apprehension during
the November election contest.
Piemonte's chief opponent
will be his former North End
neighbor, Rep. Christopher A.
Iannella, a 44-year-old lawyer
who is a graduate of Boston
College and Harvard Law
School.
Piemonte's removal to West
Roxbury has given rise to a
movement for election of a
new North End resident to
the Council. Iannella has al
really held two organization
meetings in the district and
his candidacy has met with
