2 Negro Congressmen with comparable constituencies but radically diff pol'al styles are analysed. It is argued that these diff's can be accounted for by assuming that each leader acts so as to maintain his org, & that the character of that org is determined by the city pol'al system of which it is a part. In one org, sustained by intangible incentives, leadership roles are general & diffuse, means are morally-endowed, & wealth is not suspect. In the other org, sustained by material rewards, leadership roles are specific & localized, means are purely instrumental & highly discretionary, & tangible gains must be shared. The city pol'al systems which shaped these org's were, in the first case, fragmented & weak &, in the second, unified & strong. IPSA.
