Kefauver Loses Committee Seat To John Kennedy
WASHINGTON — (UP) — For the fourth time, Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) has lost out to a Senator with less seniority in his bid for a coveted seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Kefauver was passed up Tuesday in favor of Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) to fill the only current vacancy on the committee.
Kennedy, Kefauver's unsuccessful rival for the Democratic vice presidential nomination last year, has been in the Senate for four years, Kefauver for eight.
The time-honored seniority rule for doing out committee assignments is cracking among Senate Democrats. Thus, the Senate Democratic Steering Committee voted 14 to 0 to give the foreign relations seat to Kennedy, despite Kefauver's senior claim.
