But/cc it/pps will/md include/vb 200-odd/cd officeholders/nns ,/, organization/nn leaders/nns and/cc ``/`` interested/vbn party/nn people/nns ''/'' ./.


	Out/in of/in this/dt session/nn may/md come/vb :/: 1/cd

	At/in the/at head/nn of/in the/at CDC/nn is/bez an/at unorthodox/jj ,/, 39-year-old/jj amateur/jj politico/nn ,/, Thomas/np B./np Carvey/np Jr./np ,/, whose/wp$ normal/jj profession/nn is/bez helping/vbg develop/vb Hughes/np-tl Aircraft's/nn$-tl moon/nn missiles/nns ./.
He's/pps+hvz approached/vbn his/pp$ Democratic/jj-tl duties/nns in/in hard-nosed/jj engineering/vbg fashion/nn ./.




Viewed/vbn from/in afar/rn ,/, the/at CDC/nn looks/vbz like/cs a/at rather/ql stalwart/jj political/jj pyramid/nn :/: its/pp$ elected/vbn directorate/nn fans/vbz out/rp into/in an/at array/nn of/in district/nn leaders/nns and/cc standing/vbg committees/nns ,/, and/cc thence/rb into/in its/pp$ component/nn clubs/nns and/cc affiliated/vbn groups/nns --/-- 500/cd or/cc so/rb ./.


	Much/ap of/in its/pp$ strength/nn stems/vbz from/in the/at comfortable/jj knowledge/nn that/cs every/at ``/`` volunteer/nn ''/'' Democratic/jj-tl organization/nn of/in any/dti consequence/nn belongs/vbz to/in the/at Aj/nn ./.




Moreover/rb ,/, the/at entire/jj state/nn Democratic/jj-tl hierarchy/nn ,/, from/in Gov./nn-tl Brown/np on/rp down/rp to/in the/at county/nn chairmen/nns ,/, also/rb participates/vbz in/in this/dt huge/jj operation/nn ./.


	Contrarily/rb ,/, Republican/jj-tl ``/`` volunteers/nns ''/'' go/vb their/pp$ separate/jj ways/nns ,/, and/cc thus/ql far/rb have/hv given/vbn no/at indication/nn that/cs they'd/ppss+md be/be willing/jj to/to join/vb forces/nns under/in a/at single/ap directorate/nn ,/, except/in in/in the/at most/ap loose-knit/jj fashion/nn ./.


	Carvey/np believes/vbz that/cs reapportionment/nn ,/, which/wdt left/vbd many/ap Democratic/jj-tl clubs/nns split/vbn by/in these/dts new/jj district/nn boundaries/nns ,/, actually/rb will/md increase/vb CDC/nn membership/nn ./.
Where/wrb only/rb one/cd club/nn existed/vbd before/rb ,/, he/pps says/vbz ,/, two/cd will/md flourish/vb henceforth/rb ./.


	Biggest/jjt organizational/jj problem/nn ,/, he/pps adds/vbz ,/, is/bez setting/vbg up/rp CDC/nn units/nns in/in rock-ribbed/jj Democratic/jj-tl territory/nn ./.
Paradoxically/rb the/at council/nn is/bez weakest/jjt in/in areas/nns that/wps register/vb 4-/cd and/cc 5-to-1/cd in/in the/at party's/nn$ favor/nn ,/, strongest/jjt where/wrb Democrats/nps and/cc Republicans/nps compete/vb on/in a/at fairly/ql even/jj basis/nn ./.


	Like/cs most/ap Democratic/jj-tl spokesmen/nns ,/, Carvey/np predicts/vbz 1962/cd will/md be/be a/at tremendously/ql ``/`` partisan/jj year/nn ''/'' ./.
Hence/rb the/at attention/nn they're/ppss+ber lavishing/vbg on/in the/at Aj/nn ./.


	In/in all/abn probability/nn ,/, the/at council/nn will/md screen/vb and/cc endorse/vb candidates/nns for/in the/at Assembly/nn-tl and/cc for/in Congress/np ,/, and/cc then/rb strive/vb to/to put/vb its/pp$ full/jj weight/nn behind/in these/dts pre-primary/nn favorites/nns ./.
This/dt bodes/vbz heated/vbn contests/nns in/in several/ap districts/nns where/wrb claims/nns have/hv already/rb been/ben staked/vbn out/rp by/in Democratic/jj-tl hopefuls/nns who/wps don't/do* see/vb eye-to-eye/rb with/in the/at Aj/nn ./.


	Naturally/rb ,/, the/at statewide/jj races/nns will/md provide/vb the/at major/jj test/nn for/in the/at expanding/vbg council/nn ./.


	Shunted/vbn aside/rb by/in the/at rampant/jj organizers/nns for/in John/np F./np Kennedy/np last/ap year/nn ,/, who/wps relegated/vbd it/ppo to/in a/at somewhat/ql subordinate/jj role/nn in/in the/at Presidential/jj-tl campaign/nn ,/, the/at CDC/nn plainly/rb intends/vbz to/to provide/vb the/at party's/nn$ campaign/nn muscle/nn in/in 1962/cd ./.
There/ex is/bez evidence/nn that/cs it/pps will/md be/be happily/rb received/vbn by/in Gov./nn-tl Brown/np and/cc the/at other/ap constitutional/jj incumbents/nns ./.




Carvey/np considers/vbz that/cs former/ap Vice/jj-tl President/nn-tl Nixon/np would/md be/be Brown's/np$ most/ql formidable/jj foe/nn ,/, with/in ex-Gov./nn Knight/np a/at close/jj second/od ./.
But/cc the/at rest/nn of/in the/at GOP/nn gubernatorial/jj aspirants/nns don't/do* worry/vb him/ppo very/ql much/rb ./.


	In/in his/pp$ CDC/nn work/nn ,/, Carvey/np has/hvz the/at close-in/jj support/nn and/cc advice/nn of/in one/cd of/in California's/np$ shrewdest/jjt political/jj strategists/nns :/: former/ap Democratic/jj-tl National/jj-tl Committeeman/np Paul/np Ziffren/np ,/, who/wps backed/vbd him/ppo over/in a/at Northland/np candidate/nn espoused/vbn by/in Atty./nn-tl Gen./jj-tl Stanley/np Mosk/np ./.
