FOR FLOOR LEADER Withdraws Candidacy in Interest of Party Harmony, Although Heavily Supported. Representative Frederick H. Lehl- bach of New Jersey has withdrawn as a candidate for floor leader in the next Congress. Convinced that the next Congress will function more expeditiously and effectively if the majority members em- bark upon their work with the fewest possible contests in perfecting their organization, Mr. Lehlbach announced his withdrawal today. This determination was made known at a conference of his sup- porters and adherents, when Repre- sentative Ernest R. Ackerman, as chairman of the New Jersey delega- tion, which backed Mr. Lehlbach's candidacy, was aythorized to make a formal announcetent. “In view of the gratifying assur- ances of support which had been ac- corded him, this action by Mr. Lehl- bach in the interest of party har- mony made a profound impression and will be a large factor in the potency and Republican solidarity of the Sixty-ninth Congress,” said Rep- resentative Ackerman in making the announcement. “Mr. Lehlbach wishes me to ex- press his warmest appreciation to all members who have pledged him their unqualified support, and he hereby re- leases them from these pledges.” —_— U.
