See-Saw

On the night of last April's primary in Illinois, James Simpson Jr.. 27, towheaded, horse-fancying son of the then chairman of Marshall Field & Co.. thought he had won the Republican nomination for Congress in the Suburban loth ("North Shore") district. In May the official count gave the nomination to State Representative Ralph Church by 73 votes. A recount failed to change the outcome. Mr. Simpson took his case to court, was last week declared winner by 45 votes. Candidate Church announced he would run independently in November on the issue of whether Nominee Simpson should "be sent to Congress to stifle the investigation of the two-billion-dollar Insull wreckage," Candidate Simpson's father having meantime been called in as strongman to run the Insull operating companies.
