 Political observers here consider significant the recent move to put the Democratic party back in the youth column. For some months now there has been a critical ground swell levelled at "the aging New Deal" It is pointed out that today the Presidents cabinet has an average age of GA; that his inner circle" now has an average of 50. The Presidents opponents are gleefully making capital of this be- cause it's a vulnerable point. It's only seven years since the admins tration made it's great fight against the nine old men" on the Supreme Court and their average age then was only a few more years than the Presidents cabinet today.
