COP. Head
Will Oppose
Lamb Ballot

Carl L. Shipley. chairman of
the District Republican State
Committee, charged today that
an insurgent G.. O.P candidate
is deliberately attempting to
confuse the voters by running
in borrowed plumage."
Mr., Shipley said that he will
file an objection with the Board
of Elections over a sample bal
lot George P. Lamb has said
he intends to use.
Mr.. Lamb, who is running for
both delegate to the Republican
national convention and for the
Republican State Committee.
retorted that Mr.. Shipley's
charge is IAN exhibition of ar
rogance."
The controversy was touched
off Saturday when Mr.. Lamb
named 19 members of the slate
of candidates supported by the
Republican State Committee
that he intends to indorse on
his own sample ballot.
Warning Given
Mr.. Lamb had been warned
previously by the Republican
State Committee that indorse-
ment by him of any persons on
the 44-member slate backed by
the G.. o. P. Safe Committee
would be a violation of the
law.
Mr.. Shipley said a meeting
OF all the candidates supported
by the Republican State Com
mittee will be held promptly
to decide what additional
action can be taken against
Mr.. Lamb.
Mr.. Lamb is trying to bury
his own identity among we'll
known Republicans and to seek
to identify himself with them
and get the advantage of their
good names in the Republican
Party" Mr.. Shipley declared.
He is trying to associate
himself with the most popular
names on our ballot in the hope
that he can coast on their
coattails."
Shipley Opposes "Strategem"
Mr.. Shipley said the Repub-
lican State Committee would "be
happy to have the voters make
a choice between Lamb and
any one on our slate, but we
don't want Lamb confusing the
voters by dressing himself UP
in another birds feathers
This isn't fair to the voters and
any strategem that confuses
the voter is contrary to public
Interest and contrary to public
law"
Mr., Lamb said that he would
welcome any legal challenge
that Mr.. Shipley might make
in an attempt to stop him from
distributing sample ballots.
ANY person like Mr.. Ship
ley who fails to appreciate the
function of a democratic form
of government doesn't deserve
to be chairman of a great po-
litical party" Mr.. Lamb de-
clared. IF the Republican or
ganization in the District of
Columbia bears any resem-
blance to the party in other
places in the United States,
Vice President Nixon is in for
trouble in November"

not disclose who would appoint
his election watchdogs.
The only new detail he made
public was that his bill, in ad-
dition to safeguarding right to
vote. would also reserve the
right of the States to contest
the validity Of a ballot after
the election. He said this
would minimize the number of
court appeals and delays. This
may become the basis for a
Democratic substitute for the
Dirksen administration bill.
Meanwhile, House leaders
will be trying to get a civil
rights program to the floor be-
fore the end of February. Some
Senators believe the House will
deliver a civil rights bill to the
Senate long before the Senate
debate ends.
For the first week or 10 days
supporters of civil rights are
not expected to try to curb
debate. But sooner or later,
most observers expect an old
fashioned f1libuster to develop,
and at that point leaders will
have to decide whether to try
to invoke the anti-filibuster
cloture rule, or try to wear out
the Southerners with around
the-clock sessions.
