 IL may be goods it may be bad; but there it is-and if Mrs. Luce beats 1t, she'll be the first in a long time.
 How Mrs Luce votes or whether she makes a great name as "the Congresswoman from Connecticut" in the next two years isn't nearly as important to me as something else. II she doesn't turn her Wash ington experience into a play. I'm going to write some constituents around Greenwich in 1944.
 In The Women. she took down the hair of Park Avenue Reno-run- ners. In Kiss the Boys Goodbye. ," she took the socks off Hollywood and their search for a Searlett 0'Hara. In Margin for Error she wrote the bitterest diatribe against Nazi brutality that has come out of this war.
