New Faces?
In other political developments last week:
>Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, 56, announced that he would not run for a seventh two-year term, provided that the Democrats field a strong candidate to oppose Republican Contender Winthrop Rockefeller. Arkansans are inclined to believe that Faubus may even mean it this time. Though he likes to portray himself as a poor backwoodsman, Faubus has been embarrassed by adverse comment on his new $280,000 home and, in any case, he has good reason to fear Rockefeller, who pressed him strongly in 1964. Lloyd Hand, 37, who resigned abruptly as Washington's Chief of Protocol (see The Administration), became Contender No. 3 for the Democratic nomination for California's Lieu tenant Governor. His candidacy further embarrassed Governor Pat Brown, who perfunctorily supported Incumbent Glenn Anderson before Newspaper Publisher Thomas W. Braden, his close friend and appointee to the State Board of Education, decided to enter the race.
