Mr.. Broyhill defeated last NO

He insisted that 1t would be

To Run Again
However, Mr.. johnson. who
left no doubt that he expects
again to be a candidate, did
indicate that his tactics next
year will differ from those OF
last.
His 1862 campaign rested
heavily upon denunciation of
Senator Byrd Of Virginia and

ticket or will be out of politics,
and that in either case contin-
ued, harsh attacks upon him
would be politically inexpedi-
ent.
He reasoned, too, that it will
not be necessary to defend Mr..
Kennedy so much because the
President himself will be a
popular, winning candidate who
will articulate his own posi-
tionS.
Results Under Study
Mr.. johnson did not inti-
mate whether the prospective
changes have been promoted by
what Mr.. Harris found out.
However, both he and other
10th district Democrats are
likely to pay a lot of attention
to what Mr.. Harris tells them
If for no reason other than
that the President pays atten-
ton to him.
The pollster was with Mr.,
Kennedy the night of the 1860
presidential election and his
work continues to be trusted
at the White House.
Last spring, a poll by him
showed that it would be diff
cult TO beat Mr.. Broyhill but
that he could be beaten. This
was one reason the President
and platoons Of New Frontiers
men were willing to involve
themselves so much in support
of Mr.. johnson.

The Washington Metropoli-
tan Area Transit Commission
has refused to go along with a
request from DC. Transit Co.
to be exempt from filing GER
tain information in connection
with its application to raise
fares.
The information has been
used extensively to establish
the fairness of the company's
earnings in past fare cases be-
fore the District Public Utili-
ties Commission. The area COM
mission took over jurisdiction
OF the company last March.
Late last week 1t extended to
next Tuesday the deadline for
the company to comply with
the commissions regulations
which require all companies
seeking fare raises to file in
formation on rate of return on

commissions chief engineer.
The company had asked in
its application to be exempt
from the requirement Of show
ing the return on plant in

rate OF return TO be based upor
