Show New Demo Senators Plan Texas Meet Senator-elect Frank E. Moss this week said he would attend a meeting of newly elected Democratic Demo-cratic senators at the ranch of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson in Johnson City, Texas. Another newly named Democratic Demo-cratic senator Gale McGee of Wyoming also plans to attend. The gathering is scheduled for Dec. 7. However, news reports quoted the Texas senator as saying no such meeting had been called. Reports from Washington said the Democratic Senate leader plans to meet with all newly-elected newly-elected Democratic senators in a party huddle. These reports hinged on the unprecedented number of Democratic victories in last week's election. Both Mr. Moss and Mr. McGee said they feel the main purpose of the meeting is to permit the new senators and Sen. Johnson to become better acquainted with ! each other and with some political po-litical talk thrown in. It is felt that some of Sen. Johnson's best strategy and greatest powers of persuasion may be needed in the new Congress Con-gress to keep harmony in the party. Sen. Johnson, a field general who likes to know the probable results before he plans an attack faces an immediate problem as soon as the Senate meets. Several Republicans and a few Democrats plan to move to strengthen the Senate's curb on fillibusters. ,This could provide a quick test of Sen. Johnson's powers. It will be his job to prevent pre-vent a split between the liberal and conservative branches of the party that could lead to two years of strife. Mrs. Ann M. Davis announces that all women in the Legislative District No. 12 are invited to a meeting of the group at the home of Mrs. Justin Hurst Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 8:00 p.m. This is the first meeting of the Democratic ladies' organization. |
